Question.
Mixing:
10 ml nicotine
10 ml propylene glycol
How much hazelnut/coffee flavoring do I add?

Thank you.
I have no clue what I'm doing, first time, because of the USPS etc I have to learn.
What strength is the nic and what base fluid is the nic in (pg/vg)? What brand are your flavors? How many mils are you mixing for & what pg/vg ratio are you wanting to end up with?

nicotine is 24 VG
I only have one flavor: hazelnut/coffee
I want to start 10 ml nicotine and 10 ml propylene PG.
So that would make it 20 ml together.
So a 50/50. Without knowing the brand I would say start at 1% flavor and go from there.

Apple Pie

Apple Pie (TFA) - 4%
Apple (TFA) - 4%
Vanilla Swirl (TFA) - 2%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP) -1%

This was listed on the ELR as a "Apple Pie a la Mode" recipe, but after four weeks I am not getting any a la mode. It is a tasty Apple Pie recipe however, the cinnamon danish gives it a certain 'fresh from the oven' feel.

    Capella Blackberry is my all time favorite flavor and this is a great way to mix it. Its a good s&v but benefits with a short steep. Here I just keep it simple but you could wild with add ins like yellow cake, cookie, pie crust, rum, lemon, ect...

    Blackberry Smoothie
    5% Cap Blackberry
    1% Cap Simply Vanilla

    Yummy! Saving for future use.

    I think I have it all except for the Cinnamon Danish Swirl. But, I do have Cinnamon Roll and Cinnamon Coffee Cake. Maybe one of those would do.

    Why oh why didn't I see this earlier! I've been on and off this portal for years, and I really need this. I'll read the whole thread from the first post! Let's keep the posts related to "dummies" or incompetent chemists working in their kitchen.

    Not a big fan of cinnamon, but it does give apple a certain bump. Maybe the Cinnamon Roll, as the dough part could accent the pastry element of the apple pie...

    Please keep in mind that all tastes are subjective.
    If you try a recipe and it's close but not quite what you expected, try a slight adjustment. Here is an example of what I mean :

    Chocolate Coconut Almond Candy Bar

    Chocolate Coconut Almond Candy Bar (TFA) - 5%
    Fudge Brownie (TFA) - 5%

    Not really sure what to make of this one. The flavors are there, but seem separate. Maybe 1% or 2% of Coconut Candy (TFA) and 1% of EM would help... ?

    EDIT; added 0.2% DX Coconut Candy (TFA) and 0.2% Smooth (TFA). Did a shake and vape, tastes the way I would like it.

    Next time I try this recipe, it will most likely be Chocolate Coconut Almond Candy Bar 5%,
    Milk Chocolate 4%,
    Coconut Candy 2%,
    Smooth 1%.
    I still like this recipe, just fine tuning it to what I really like.

    All I had was double chocolate both TFA and Cap. It's not bad for s&v, something between dark and milk chocolate the coconut is still shines.

    2% TFA Double Chocolate
    2% TFA Coconut Candy

    Yep, a recipe is a starting point. Not necessarily an end point, although sometimes it is ;) Small percent changes, or same flavor name - different vendor can make a big difference.

    I do (most of) my test mixes in 10 ml batches. Sometimes, if one is, to me, especially good and / or interesting, I'll mix up two or three variations of it, all 10 ml as well. Or, if only changing one part of the recipe, make several versions, with the previous recipe example swapping out the chocolate with several different ones. So I can do side by side taste test :)

    Hi Folks
    Anyone have a very simple recipe using WF Smooth Cappuccino Cream. Or suggestions on 2-3 flavors to add to it to make it more of a creamy and sweet Cappuccino?
    thanks

    I use Liquid Nicotine Wholesale (LNW) for this one but I'm sure TFA would work.

    Creamy Cappuccino
    4% LNW Cappuccino
    1.5% LNW Sweet Cream
    .5 to 1% TFA Super Sweet (optional)
    Give it some steep time a week or more, let it breathe (until the foam at top falls). *For the super sweet wait till the steep smooths it out you may not need it.
