I've been using a drop or two of menthol per 10ml to start. Any more than that and it starts becoming very overpowering and has a very weird taste.
I've been using 15% watermelon and 1% sweetener and that's the closest I've gotten to good so far. I may try using a little more sweetener to see if that helps but I'm starting to wonder if not having any EM is my problem here.
For the spearmint I stay around 5% and add 1% sweetener and 1% peppermint and that's the best I've gotten, but it's still pretty bad. The spearmint just doesn't pop very well and still seems bitter. The sweetener and peppermint don't seem very noticeable, but on the peppermint if I had any more it starts to overpower the spearmint.
Try what taofishdude suggested and add a little vinegar
I just looked on the TFA site and it said the Spearmint isn't sweet at all try adding more sweetener to it, I would see if you can perfect each mint flavor first then mix.

There is a juice known as Purple Haze....Anyone ever tried to replicate it?? Personally I've never tried it but I've heard rave reviews...Supposedly it contains Hypno, Earl Grey and Grape...I threw it together as follows..80/20...18mg/ml...8% grape juice....2% Earl Grey...2% Hypno...Nothing else added...It's been steeping a few days....I've got a tanked carto saturating ATM so I'll know in a little while...Thoughts???
Latest concoction finally able to pull and test.
50/50 18mg - steeped for about a week.
Black honey tobacco 4%
M - type tobacco 4%
DK tobacco base 4%
Green apple 5%
Nice pipe vape, but it's still missing something I can't quite put my finger on.

I used watermelon at 10% and got decent flavor. I would recommend E.M. HIGHLY over sweetener. To me, the sweetener just tastes watered down and artificial. To take it up a notch, I bought the E.M crystals from Wizard labs (super cheap), just add it in appropriate amounts (I add as much as I can without crystals remaining) in PG. I store it in an old glass vial that a TPA flavoring came in. I still have 5/6 of the vial of crystals left and I've already made 3, 4oz batches of it. Cost like $2. Super cheap and effective.
Something you may want to pick up eventually is KOOLADA. I was adding menthol to fruits because I saw somewhere that it's supposed to make fruit pop... but its actually Koolada. I can't stand menthol, especially vapewise. When I added the menthol to my fruit flavors I ended up with something that tasted like those fruit flavored cough drops by Halls. Not something I want to vape.
Koolada on the other hand doesnt have a menthol taste. It just tastes "cool". It's very strange to taste something that tastes like a temperature. If you add a drop per 5ml/10ml it's barely noticable... just adds a nice little something. Adding more will increase the cooling sensation. It's very cool. I would definitely pick some up when you can. Again, it's cheap at Wizard Labs and you get quite a bit

Question? most mix @ 1/4tsp of EM to 10ml of PG or PGA( per Linda(TFA), 10% is equivalent to 8ml of PG or PGA + 1/4tsp of EM). How much PG are you using?
I mix at 1tsp to 40ml then shake,shake,shake, warm bath, warm bath until crystals completely dissolve.
Has TFA discontinued the strawberry ripe? WL is out of stock and for the life of me I can not find it on the flavor apprentice site. Sort of praying I am just being dim because I made some e-liquid for my sons best friend that the boys say "tastes so real we could taste the little seeds" and they want more. Anyone know of anywhere else that sells the strawberry ripe I can try?
I don't know. You may want to send them a message and ask them. In the meantime, I found it here.
EDIT: Oops, it's in Australia. Well, I guess if you really, really want it.
I have no small measuring tools. I had seen someone say that they just fill the vial 1/3 w/ EM and the rest with PG so I tried that. I used a 4ml bottle though as I don't have any empty 10ml. We'll see how it works. First hot water run left a bit of crystals when it came back to room temp. Just did it again and the crystals are completely dissolved. Time will tell
I have found several flavors that are no longer on the TFA site that have been referenced here on ECF. I think that some re-sellers may still have a few of them as long as their "bulk" orders last. But, thats not to say they(re-sellers) don't have an agreement to still receive flavors that are no longer on the TFA site. I would contact the re-seller for an answer. MFS and RTS also re-sell TFA flavors. It has also been suggested ecigs "signature" series is TFA.
Mecodina your my hero! I'm ordering the biggest bottle they sell right now! Thank you SO much. The boys will be forever grateful!
Edit to add: Thank you as well Horselady154. With those prices and shipping I suspect I would have had to really asses Flash's desperation to have that strawberry. But as I tend to spoil the boys a bit I might very well have done it had there not been some at onestop.

Correction on Wabbit's RY4
Somehow my recipe (and all day vape) has been posted incorrectly several times, so if anyone has attempted to mix and vape it, I must apologize. It is listed on my blog and also below. I have perfected this over several months and find it to be a sweet tobacco vape worthy of being used daily. All are TFA flavorings.
Wabbits RY4
10% to 15% Dbl RY4
2% TA
5% Vanilla
5% Caramel
I often add a touch of Orange and or Peach which gives it a bit of extra flavor, especially the orange but do not add too much.
For a Fruity Dbl RY4 add
4 Drops Peach to 30 ML
2 Drops Orange to 30 ML

Southern Bliss, I emailed TFA and they said that in the past Strawberry Ripe had only been offered to their wholesale customers, but that they were going to carry it retail on their site very soon. So, just keep a lookout.
