    I'm sort of watching the Flyers game (sigh...) when not distracting myself with browsing.

    Also trying out my first "own" mix - needs some work.
    I only have a few flavors right now, but figured I'd try my hand at making something up.

    This try has:
    1% Cotton Candy (TFA)
    3.4% Blueberry - Wild (TFA)
    1% Graham Cracker (CAP)
    3% Sugar Cookie (CAP)

    Just getting blueberry, a little bitter maybe, not crazy strong though. Probably need another blueberry or other berry to go in there.

    Going to lower the blueberry a little and bump up graham and cookie on the next try.

    No nic for now.

    Also, busted out one of my old Vivi Nova tanks to test it, probably not the best to really get at all the flavors.

    Still waiting to try the Sugar Bear clone until I put a new coil in one of my regular tanks.
    Another Berry is a good idea.

    Do you have blueberry jam?

    No, I only picked up the flavors to try the Sugar Bear and grabbed blueberry and graham to fill out a nic order.
    I'm collecting formulas and am going to make a list for those that I want to try out first.
    I'm still stocking up on a few other things, so flavors are going to wait a bit yet.

    Plus, I have about two liters or so of purchased juice to hold me over until I really get going with DIY.

    I do have two liters of nic as well.

    I filled a tank with my chocolate mix. I’m not sure if I like it. It’s got a definite chocolate taste to it but there’s a bit of harshness to it that gives a pretty strong throat hit.
    Do you have TFA Smooth? It will help to cut down harshness and throat hit. If you have it add a couple drops to your mix. Test. Add a little at a time as needed.

    Alternatively, adding a cream or two will help to smooth out the rough edges.

    What’s the recipe?

    I would leave the graham cracker and sugar cookie as is.

    Drop the blueberry to 0.75% - 1%. That would bring your other flavors out while taming the BB.

    Add a cream and another berry to round it out.

    Give it a solid 3-4 week steep and you'll be set. :)

    ETA: Just a tip, FWIW, only change one thing in a mix at a time. Changing the values of three flavors can cause other unforeseen issues. Been there done that.

    I think I do have smooth. I just haven’t used it in a long time. I like your idea of adding a cream. Now to decide which one.

    If you just want to smooth it out Fresh Cream would work.
