Random DIY mixing and More

I think so, Charlie. It’s JC ‘s recipe. If you can’t find it I’ll post it for you.

No it's ok I'll find it....I might just check back to make sure. I probably haven't got all the flavours so I was going to use it as a kickstarter for ideas

Hopefully I can vape the banana mix ok. I got all banana flavors in the small sizes. I’m good with just one banana mix for now. If I like that I’ll probably write up a couple to try.

I got most of my flavors tucked away.

Howdy all,

In my quest to get my left knee replaced I saw a heart doc yesterday who ordered a echo and a chemical stress test. Then in a amazing bit of scheduling I have the echo today at 3:45, the stress test tomorrow at 7:45am, and see the doc again Monday for final clearance! Sweet! Then I have Lung doc and testing 6/22, gastro doc 6/23 and it should all be done for my Primary to give me final clearance 7/7. Then surgery hopefully sometime in July. Wow, it'll be quite the ride.

I am also vaping the Raspberry Cheesecake I made and let steep about 5 days - it's pretty good.

Good afternoon folks,

picked up the package this afternoon, has already started making a new shopping list ...

It's a very useful cream. Creamy with a hint of butterscotch/caramel...I'd get some if I were you... YMMV

and my shopping list continues to grow ...

I have FLV Sweet Coconut but not the regular FLV coconut. And I've only needed to use it in drops, as in 3-5 per 30ml. It's good, and has it's place, but I would not say it's anywhere near as authentic as the FA or SSA are.

I much prefer SSA Ripe Coconut and FA Coconut. Both are very realistic, have no candy or off putting notes. If I had to make a choice between the two I would go with the SSA.

Good luck with your mix.

Actually, it's your mix: Almond Coconut Milk.

I have only (?) FA Coconut (Coco, Cocco), FLV Coconut, MF Coconut, TFA Coconut Candy, and TFA Coconut Extra. Would you recommend I use the FA instead of the FLV? Same number of drops?

Tiny bit of TFA Sweetener was in it, too, for those who want slightly sweeter (which I know isn't you).
Also, if you try it as soon as it's mixed, don't judge it on the taste then. It took several weeks for it to taste like it should, IMO.

FA Vanilla Classic (Madagascar) is based on the Mexican vanilla extract(s).

Very peculiar that FA chose Madagascar as the name for a Mexican vanilla

I’m happy to let it steep.

SMT's Pudding Base

FA Vanilla Bourbon (Vaniglia) 3%
FLV Vanilla Pudding 2%
WF Frozen Yogurt 1.5%

Steep time = 3 weeks. As a SnV it's just, no. Lol. Everything gels together rather nicely at three weeks. For me it hasn't changed after three weeks. YMMV

I tested this in a couple different RDA's (Creek, Hussar) and RTA's (KFL19, Dvarw MTL and DL). I tweaked this recipe so it worked well for me under any style of vaping (MTL / RDL / DL). Tested at wattages between 12w to 35w. It's nice and flavorful. I made this at 50/50 and 70VG/30PG. It is very smooth with a higher VG base. 60VG/40PG would bring more of that smoothness out versus a straight 50/50.

FA Vanilla Bourbon is a stronger, more earthy, and creamy vanilla. "Rich, dark, bold vanilla - the flavor of gourmet Madagascar vanilla extract." There is no bourbon alcohol in it. Bourbon vanilla is the name for all vanilla grown in Madagascar and some of the other islands in the Indian Ocean. It is a more complex gourmet vanilla versus the Mexican vanilla extract(s) Americans are most familiar with.

Vanilla Notes: TFA Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla would not be a good substitution. It is not anywhere near the same quality as the FA when it comes to an authentic vanilla bourbon flavor. FA just shines in comparison. The TFA has Ethyl Alcohol whereas FA does not. IMO the TFA would be a poor choice for a sub.

FA Vanilla Classic (Madagascar) could be used as a substitute. If used as a sub I would use it in the 3.5-4.5% range. It will make the base more sweet. More of the FLV Vanilla Pudding sweetness would also come through. FA Vanilla Classic (Madagascar) is based on the Mexican vanilla extract(s).

FLV Vanilla Pudding makes a fine pudding base. It has a smooth brighter vanilla note which plays well with the bourbon vanilla. There is a very nice authentic pudding note. It's creamy, there is a pleasant richness and it tastes like a vanilla pudding. Adds a nice texture and mouth feel. Used as an additive is where it really shines. On it's own there is a mid-level sweetness. In this recipe the vanilla bourbon cancels out some of the sweetness and brings in the darker notes of a vanilla bean.

WF Frozen Yogurt (contains acetone and acetyl propionyl - the good stuff, lol). Firstly it is not a yogurt. It leans more into the ice cream/dairy/milk realm. It has a pleasing bright vanilla note but it is not in the vanilla bean category. It does bring a nice mouth feel but I wouldn't call it heavy. On it's own it is kind of blah. Used as a supporting flavor in a mix is where it really shines.

As a standalone vape it's a good and enjoyable vanilla pudding. I would recommend trying it as is and then adjusting to taste if needed - just so you know what you are dealing with. Otherwise you won't know this as intended. Each flavor (%) could easily be pushed further. I would recommend starting at 0.5% increments.

It could be made into a fine vanilla yogurt by adding either FW, FA or even FLV Greek Yogurt. FW Yogurt will bring a nice tanginess (and would be my first choice).

This will work well as a base for nearly any fruit (light to dark). Naturally, I would start low with the darker fruits and add to taste. If you start off too heavy something like a raspberry may overpower the base. IMO you want the base coming through and not getting drowned out by other flavors. YMMV

If you wanted to add some texture add 0.5-1% FA Cookie or INW Biscuit (I tried it with FA cookie). This will also work nicely with JF Yellow Cake (4 week steep, min) or FLV Pound Cake. Alternatively, using FW Vanilla Cup Cake would also bring in a pleasing cake note.

I also tested this with some premixed WF S'mores Cupcake which brought in really nice chocolate and cake notes. Also tried it with Nanaimo bars and that also brought a tasty note into the mix.

Our tastes differ sharply on the Bourbon Vanilla. I absolutely love the TFA.

Awesome notes SMT. Funny enough, I just got done mixing a new pudding base I was wanting to try out. I am missing WF Frozen Custard, but when I get it, I will give yours a shot.
