Bill, if you are exposing yourself, I believe that belongs on a different forum altogether.lol
Hmmm.....poor word choice?
Not a pretty sight.....I like what Joan Rivers said about it. If you don't think life is funny, look at yourself naked in the mirror.....
You are all so very welcome. I appreciate the appreciation!
I was in Las Vegas years ago (many) on a business trip for work (big computer conference, gotta love an expense paid trip to Vegas. Those were the days). Saw a comedian who said something that has become a motto - If you can't laugh at yourself, laugh at somebody else!
Thanks for the tips on my BVC recipe. I will try the changes and report back.
Wonderful resource here (BILL!)

Yes Sir, we're letting it all hang out there for all to see.....all the vaping tricks I've learned over the last little while, LOL!
Your chocolate adventure just floored me .... I feel like someone who asked to borrow dime, and was handed a hundred dollar bill.Thanks moocho for going through all that ..glad you gained another "candy bar"
As far as recipes, I'm trying to go through what I have using just TFA ..pickin's are pretty thin.
I don't know how much allowance I have here, to get off "topic"
I did find a simple one (so far)..still tinkering with it, but here's the simple basic's.
White Mints
12% White Chocolate
5% Peppermint.
My notes say to up the white chocolate, and that the peppermint faded a bit, turning out "better", so ... maybe 14% on the white chocolate, and 4% on the peppermint, unless you want to figure in that at 5%, after fading, it's good
Time played a factor in this one.
As you can see, I still need to play with it, but it has a lot of promise .. these two are yummy together if you get the % worked out to your own taste buds.
Working with just the two flavors, keeps it simple, but it sure doesn't taste "simple"
This is another one that you need to adjust the % to your own palate
It has a "cheater" flavor in it.
White Bunny
TFA 3% French Vanilla
TFA 1% Whipped Cream
TFA 1% Sweet Cream
VZ 1% Cream de Menthe C
This is not strong tasting, ...so you keep wanting "more" (at least I do)
I love Cream de Menthe, so it's almost a yummy for me .. just needs a little tweaking.
The VZ is VapingZone Cream de Menthe Concentrate ..

I've been getting a lot out of this forum and wanted to put something out here although I'm not sure if it's really worth anything to anyone else, but here's what I'm working on.
Banana Creme (I think it's pretty good but I would like a bit more "full" since the creme really mellows out the flavor. I'm thinking of adding 1% more Ripe Banana, going down 1% Bavarian Creme, and adding 1-2% of either Brown Sugar Extra or Dulce de Leche. Also thinking of subbing Graham Cracker at 2-3% for the AP):
9% Banana Creme
4% Ripe Banana
5% Bavarian Creme
2% EM
1 drop AP per 10ml (this stuff is STRONG)
Another forum member sent me a recipe for Banana Cream that is very different. I just started vaping it today. I think I may need to tweak that for now but we'll see how that turns out.
I'm also a fan of green apple as a single flavor but am realizing that single flavors still need that "something". Here's the base:
15% Green Apple
3% EM
1 drop Sour per 10ml (I originally went 2 drops/10ml but that was pretty strong)
I'm going to try adding either 1- 2% Vanilla Swirl and 1% Brown Sugar Extra or 2- 2% Ripe Strawberry and 1% Dulce de Leche.
I was going to add caramel... but I don't have it so I'm working with what I got.
edit: oooh... I forgot that I got some butterscotch in the last order. I think butterscotch might be a pretty good addition to the apple as well...

First, thank you for the inspiration! That choco cherry is a whole lot better 12 hours later. Could be a keeper. The missus is starting to pester me to make more. She Likee. So, we may have gained that 30% chocolate, the candy bar, AND the choco cherry. I think so. I just wanted to illustrate to the newer juice makers how I go about it. Not sure how others' do it, but would love to hear about their adventure. Wouldn't mind getting that hundro myself, so to speak!
You have all the leeway here that you need as far as I'm concerned. There are certain flavorings that Linda doesn't have yet at TFA. But, the TFA flavors have come a long way in a very short period of time. Personally, I'm a big fan of TFA. She keeps it all real for us, I think.
Love the White Mints! Thank you. I have nothing like it, and will order some peppermint. Wait, I have peppermint. Just got it for the Oreo recipe thanks to Arnie and Thunderball. Using it this weekend, Lucky me. May just have to throw the White Mints together. I have an unopened bottle of white chocolate. Lucky me!
I would ask that you try the Choco Cherry, or Choco Strawberry and give it the college try. I think it's going to be good....we'll see about great, in time. Thanks again!
6% overall flavoring is not much for TFA flavors. I have nothing less than 20% anymore. This may be why it's not so strong tasting, though I bet that VZ CdM is very strong. I have not used it yet. Good luck!
I don't have a super coffee yet, but if you like coffee, you might really like TFA Tiramisu.
I'm a coffee guzzler, and Tiramisu I love. ... it has coffee in it.
I just mixed it solo at 1% ...(it's strong stuff) if you use half or more VG in your base, you could use 2%
Try it solo, and then if you think you want a more creamy taste, start trying different creams
I use flavoring up to 20% in some juices, (short on taste buds), so believe me when I say start with 1-2%
In the meantime, I'll dig through my paper stash, and see if I can find anything else
Hahahahahahah. I did 5% tiramisu alone, and it was the worst thing I've EVER tasted. It was also possibly the only vape I've actually had a gag reflex from
I know it doesn't seem like much.I use high flavoring too, but this is real nice for a change.
It has a nice refreshing, change of pace, after dinner dessert type flavor.
The CDM has a lot of flavor, and the creams are just to take the edge off and smooth it out, making it creamy.
You can "double up" if you want, but I would give it a shot first.
I'm going to mix up the Chocolate Covered Cherry this weekend,
The recipe I was using called for TFA Dbl Choc, Marshmallow, and a cherry. flavoring.
Your creams will be a lot better I think
I have a "Sweet Cherry" from another company I may try.
I've tried a Maraschino flavoring, and it's way to strong unless you use 1% in 10 ml.
Kind of like using TFA Caramel Cappuccino
Thanks for the recipe
Yep .. if you had added about 12-15ml's of base to it, it may have worked out. 
Sometimes I add chocolate, or use a little in a tobacco ...yummy
Does anyone have any opinions on the ripe vs non-ripe flavors of the same/similar flavor?
