Ok, if time, why not? Don't have anything to lose, and much to gain...I'll probably bumble around and be more of a nuisance, but....

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm starting to wonder if we get a bunch more if we shouldn't move though Bill. We'll see. I'm excited. I'm going to have to fake it a bit since I didn't order any waffle this time around. But I think I can manage with the CD and then add from there.
I'm jazzed to have a goal-now if my vape mail would just get here early! HA!

I didn't vote on flavor theme for this go round, oh dear
..danish sound good cause of the varieties of filling...I don't have tfa CD(have cap's), but hope to see if can finesse some pastry notes out of waffle, when it arrives...off to start researching while I can
Big Jim, nor do I, lol...still very new and giving it a go even if I flounder around

Yeah sure why not haha.Definitely a bit time crunched right now,but i find a little extra time here and there,god i can't wait until winter comes,that's when my work slows way down and i have all kinds of time.But,yeah,i'll give it a whirl,and the danish,7-14 sounds good to me to
h,Ren,i am right there with ya at the dirt track haha,i haven't even made it into the car yet,i'm still out there smoothing out the dirt and filling in holes haha.That's what i was hoping for was possibly same day,i put the order in at 5:30 am my time,so i think that was like 2:30am their time,so definitely early haha,but it didn't ship until late today,so i'm guessing it will be monday,although i could be wrong,but that's what i'm thinking.

I got my flavors today so....Sign me up please Bill -Danish - 14 days
(write me in as IOS for short ;-P )
Tim, what do you think about a Community Vape Meet with us all trying to improve on juice in a specific category? Any interest?
Oh... I'm in, for sure. But like others I'll get far more out of it than I put in... And, if you all go on I'll definitely vigorously pursue a tobacco recipe. I expect to have every tobacco flavoring from TFA by Tuesday next week. My idea for Danish input would be apple...
Thanks, Bill!
Tim
I'm another lurker creeping out of the shadows, and I'd like to join the Community Mix-In. I've learned so much from you all in following this thread! I've only tried 2 mixes so far and I won't say they were failures but they sure weren't anything to rave about yet. I think I'd like to try something in the Vanilla/Custard range - and now I have an excuse to order all those flavors I've been drooling over. Thanks for the opportunity - this sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun!
Does anyone know what the sucralose to PG ratio is for the TFA Sweetener flavor? Perhaps that's proprietary information? I don't know, but would sure like to take my EzSweetZ sucralose and dilute it with PG so I'm on the same page with you all.

Tim
Thanks! I never thought that I'd find a way to get off cigarettes - In 45 years I'd tried just about every method I could, obviously with no success, so I didn't hold out much hope for this way either. But wow! Vaping has been just magical!
I have an idea. I was wondering if some of you would like to participate in a category "cook off." By this, I mean we take a vape genre, like say Danish juice, and we make all different types of Danishes, i.e., apple, lemon, cherry, strawberry, cream cheese, etc. We set a time limit of maybe a week or so, and just see what each of us can come up with, sharing our experiences along the way. We use primarily TFA flavorings, but if TFA doesn't have a flavoring, then we make that exception.....ONLY. In this way, by all of us focusing on a particular category, we may be able to make a breakthrough to a better juice than any of us can make now. We can see all the different efforts, try some ourselves, share our ideas of what worked and didn't work, all information being so very valuable, and in doing so, our level of juice making is irrelevant, we can all learn from each other. If we could get about ten of us on the same category, I just know that two weeks later we're going to know how to make better juice in that category. This will be fun, will help build this community, and will result in better juices and higher TFA bills.
I think Reni had an idea about something like this a while back. It wasn't a fully formed plan yet, but neither is this one. Maybe some input from you folks on how to do this, what the "rules" are, what category we want to work on, etc. FEEDBACK IS NEEDED TO GET THIS OFF THE GROUND AND TO GET PARTICIPATION. Who's in this? Who has suggestions? Please "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope." Whatcha think?
Edit: You lurkers....this would be a good time to join in the fun. No experience necessary. Great questions and answers, lots of sharing, suggestions, and FUN! Now would be the time to join in! Come on! This will be an effort where participation is rewarded, not award winning juice, though we might end up there too! We need your questions to help us to focus and to make this breakthrough. There's no reason we can't make the best juice on the Planet, we just can't do it alone. Who's in? We need this to make a paradigm shift, to allow us to get to the next level. Come on!
Please reply with Quote to draw attention to this effort and to foster a sense of community spirit! Come on!
I would love to participate but unfortunately I am on the road for the next 3 weeks. I will be reading eagerly and will chime in when I can. Sounds like FUN!!!!
And I have to attribute a large part of the success to the wonderful community here at ECF. I don't think I'd've made it this far without ECF's support and information and well, the warmth and family feeling I've found here.
Ok, for all those in fear of where to start, I've already made several Danish recipes, and I refer you to this thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...st14228238.html?highlight=danish#post14228238
My Peach Danish is as follows:
Peach Danish
Peach - 8%
Vanilla Custard - 4%
Brown Sugar - 2%
Butter - 2%
Sweetener - 2%
Waffle - 1%
Sweet Cream - 1-2%
Add almost any fruit to this one for a great Danish. I like it with Peach, but works with apple, lemon, cherry, etc.
Lest you think we've already "nailed" this one, let me tell you when and how this came to be. 18 months ago, when I was just starting to figure out how to make good juice, I stumbled across this mix, as I was trying to make a Peach Cobbler. As you know, I rarely use a 20% flavoring, and when I do, it's either because the recipe was an early one for me, or because it only has about 3 ingredients in it. This Peach Danish is good, but it's only 20% mix, and probably should be a 30% mix. But, IT IS A START....PERHAPS, A GOOD START for all of us, and certainly where I will be starting.
As I tear this recipe down in my mind today, I certainly think the creams and sweeteners are too low, and so is the breading material here as 1% waffle. Really, everything looks thin to me now, but this was a real breakthrough for me at the time. No doubt this can be better, and by putting our collective heads together, it will improve and be better. Also, it doesn't have to be peach, it could be anything, including cream cheese Danish. The fun of this project is in the making, the journey, and not the destination, the goal if you will, that keeps us all focused. THIS WILL BE BETTER, and certainly my feelings won't be hurt at all. I've known for some time that my first recipes needed work, I just haven't gotten around to them again....yet. But here we are now. We may even have to look outside TFA for some of the flavorings (like cream cheese icing, or the doughy breading that is a big part of the Danish flavoring). And so, to me, this will be a great place to start, a whole lotta fun, something we will all learn about, and while it will certainly include many of these ingredients it may not include all of them, a few new ones likely, and certainly at higher percentages. I cannot imagine a Danish today without vanilla swirl, for example, or using peach, when I love lemon Danish, or raspberry or even blueberry. We can all have fun breaking down the components and going back and forth on how to do the pieces, supported by our efforts in the vape lab. I can't wait.
I know I'm rambling now, but there is a lot to look forward to, and I know that we will end up with several alternatives, all better than this example. Again, I can't wait. So, please everyone, jump in, no matter what your level of time, commitment, expertise, knowledge, or comfort. We can all learn together, and, if you are new, this is a golden opportunity to learn from the bottom up, and really quickly. What a marvelous example of an opportunity for new DIY'ers to ask questions about this common goal! Why are you trying Acetyl Pyrazine, for example? Why 12% apple? Why two different creams? These are great questions, and probably not unlike what will actually be asked along the way. I think this will increase readership, participation, skills, etc. Sound like a plan, Stan? Come on now, everyone get in on this one!
