I'm calling this Lemon Cookie.

Flavor Art - Lemon Sicily 10%
The Flavor Apprentice - Cheesecake Graham Crust 5%

I bring a pot of water up in heat before boil and turn it off, place the bottle of e-liquid in up to it's neck with lid off, leave it in for 5 minutes. This is plenty long enough to thin the VG for a rigorous/thorough shake and avoid degrading the Nic. Allow to cool, then shake again thoroughly and try it out. I can't say what alternative brands or flavors will do, as I'm still building experience. I'd like to know what you think. Please leave a comment if you find it useful.
Thumbs up appreciated.

Once you get the flavor profile to your liking, I would be interested to see you mix a batch, and split it in two. Heat/warm treat one half and leave the other at room temp only. Then, do a taste comparison of the two, to see if the warming makes any difference to the flavor. My personal experience is that lemon concentrates (in general) are quite susceptible to heat and flavor loss (fade). :)

For the first 2 days the Lemon Sicily was explosive. Day 3 until now the flavors have melded and toned down a bit, but still tasty. You may stand correct on the Lemon fading out with a large batch that's going to be around for a while. I will try your suggestion with and without the warm bath in a larger quantity and get back to you on that. When I began DIY back in December, I was making large batches then stepped away from that due to failed steep expectations of all sorts. For the last two months, I've focused on making more recipes in smaller 30 Ml quantities to get a better grip on initial tastes and recipe exploration. With my current approach, I plan on taking my "winner recipes" and refining them for the test of time. I wish they were all winners ;)

My 'go to' when I'm traveling, and only want to take one bottle of juice with me:
OSDIY Lucky Shot 5%
OSDIY Lotta Latte 5%
It's pretty much a shake and vape, although even better after 2-3 days.
Sometimes, I'll use a little more Lotta Latte, and a little less Lucky Shot. But it's hard to screw up. Both of those flavors are also good alone, at 8-10%

Here's a few I make, as a rule of thumb I don't mix over 10% flavouring.
I find it does not increase the flavour & gunks up your coils fast!
I shake well water bath heat steep, just put it in a really hot water for a few minutes, & shake well again. Thats it, let it cool & vape :)

Peach FA @ 7%
Vanilla Bean Ice cream TPA @ 3%

Buter scotch TPA @ 5%
Cake Batter TPA @ 2%
Vanilla Custard TPA @ 1%

Grape soda Flavour West @ 8%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream TPA @ 2%

Water Melon FA @ 4%
coton Candy TPA @ 4%
Strawberry FA @ 2%

Lemon Sicilly FA @ 5%
Custard FA @ 2%
