@Letitia , you have a recipe you think I’d like it in? Planning on starting mixing this week so it can all steep. I got caught up in the recipe rabbit hole looking at different floral mixes. Really want to try the tea/cherry blossom one with something first

Flavor apprentice. Haven’t tried it yet.
It's wonderful, has a lovely tart finish. I mixed a tester Saturday of the INW pitaya d. Oh Mel the floral notes coming off the juice are so very nice, can hardly wait to taste it. It was like spring had come alive in my living room. The lychees are a different story.

I didn’t like the unsteeped test. Lychee was too strong. I may go get some peachy-lychee from my b&m and send to a couple of y’all to see if you can ferret out what else is in it. I’m guessing pear since that’s what real lychee is close to, the flavoring is sort of tart and dense...can’t put my finger on it

The TFA? I'll look at your flavors tomorrow and see what recipe I can adapt with what you have.

My two lychees will be ready for a first taste Tuesday. The FE has a bit of a floral note by smell, the Cap not at all. Skunk likes peach send one to him, I don't use it.

Mel you need to be patient, in 2 weeks it might be perfect.

So ladies,what taste is Lychee? Not a big fruit vaper but Mel's mention of tart caught my eye.
Hey Fran! Hmmmmm, taste of a lychee to me is sweet, but not too sweet. They can have a hint of tartness at times, but not what I would call a 'tangy' fruit. They are a bit like a cross between a grape and a pear. I am sure the ladies will be able to provide a much better description of how lychee is in a vape!

You have been the busy little shopper haven't you? Sounds like you have got your bits and bob sorted for a while!
a while...we'll see!
the nic enables me to keep making, and selling, DIY to a few folk. the rest? just trappings really. nothing necessary. shelf can't accommodate many more mods.

I do hope your Fasttech orders shuffle along a bit quicker than mine. Ordered on 5th April. Only now showing as 'shipped'. Tracking number hasn't hit Australia Post yet so probably going to be many more days.
Not that I am whinging though - at least shipping is free!
