Hi.
I know most of you don't know me and I've never posted here before, but this thread is brilliance... or was. When I first came across this thread in my search to start DIY, I thought I struck gold. I read all 500 pages from the beginning. I created memo lists to save recipes that I thought sounded good to try. Lets just say there's 20+ pages by now.
@Bill's Magic Vapor was a godsend. His 100 drop test showed me how easy it was to make a new recipe, tweak it, and get it to the "delish" point quickly, instead of over weeks and months like everyone else was suggesting. At one point, he posted a list of about 25 flavors that make a great list for beginners as there are creams, fruits, sweeteners and mixers that can combine into many different recipes. That list made my WL cart.
But recently, I noticed I wasn't seeing replies from Bill as often, and just figured life had gotten in the way. Doesn't that happen to all of us at some point? Didn't think about it again. Life happens, that's why they make the bumper sticker.
I'm sorry for all the recent drama, and hope that this thread can return to it's former glory. It is IMHO the best resource for new DIYers as it has everything. Starting percentages, 100 DT instructions, good recipes, and a group of posters that are willing to help with all the stupid questions.
When I finally finish my start up research and place orders (or the vapeocalypse comes, whichever is first) I'll be back. I truly hope the thread will still be here with all it's members.
TL;DR - This thread is an awesome resource for the beginning DIYer and has lots of good recipes. Thanks for helping me get on the path to good cheap juice. I hope it survives and thrives. We shall miss Bill.
P.S. I'd love to see another "stone" recipe-off. The Danish stone and Milkshake stones are firmly in my "I gotta try this" file.

TFA Yogurt I found so far mixes best for me at 2% and the one particular recipe I used 5% Sweet Strawberry. It's a light flavor though (at those percentages). I can see TFA GY being temperamental (easy to make gross with high percentages) so just mix carefully. I plan on experimenting with other fruits soon.
TFA White Chocolate is also fiddly. I had one AMAZING recipe but when I went to look for it after trying the mixture, it disappeared. It's no where where I log my recipes. Just got sucked into a black hole. Just my luck, right? Working on trying to replicate the recipe but haven't been able to do it just yet.

I haven't mixed it for a while, so no particulars, but I mixed the White Chocolate 50/50 with Hazelnut, and it was yummy.
Loved my "Creamy Nuts", but have been busy with other experimenting for a while now
I also enjoy the TFA White Chocolate solo .. very creamy and is sweet enough on it's own for me.
I image you could mix just about any other flavor with it, and have it come out good.
I personally would stick to just mixing it with one or two others, since it's such a delicate soft flavor, that it can get buried real fast in a mix.
It's a flavor that's always on hand for me
It really doesn't have a "chocolate" flavor to me, .. just creamy, smooth and sweet...
Interesting... one of my posts from last night has mysteriously gone poof even though I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I always thought if it were inappropriate the post would stay but the content would be modified to say something to the effect of (deleted because of inappropriate content) ... weird since I was actually posting about the usefulness of this thread and how helpful Bill has been in my DIY journey.
Retired1 went thru and performed an 'attitude adjustment,' and the broom may have been wide. 
Probably a credit to the genuine usefulness of the thread that it wasn't just closed.

Gotta ask all you chemists
Anyone come up with a good berry sherbet.....like rainbow.....I've mixed till I am out of ideas.....looking for something not too creamy....not big on sweet cream stuff....I am failing in all tries.
ALL help appreciated

Bill had a suggestion for me awhile back on sherbet. I never did follow through... I got distracted with other flavors
Got some TPA Vanilla Swirl. Something in it is not good for me. lips burn and tingly. Added 5 drops to 10 ml of CAP Cinnamon Danish which was vaping fine for me at 10%.
Darn!
Darn!
I'm not sure what it is about vanilla swirl but I get a feeling akin to throat hit from it. I kind of like it
I started doing that when I moved from Nautilus type atties to RBAs. I had been mixing very high percentage flavourings - up to 30 % - which were fine in the "coil head" atties. When I moved on the RBA's, renowned for their flavour like the KFs I found that the flavoring was a little too much. So I started mixing the flavouring recipe first and then adding it as one flavouring to my base at around 20%. That is working fine for me now.
That happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Not with BCV of course but soon after I bought flavourings from a supplier in the UK. At least they admitted their cleints' particular had been "visible" for about an hour although they claimed they do not keep payment details on their site. Still my CC was hacked. Fortunately the payments did not go through and I was able to stop it in time.
I go away for a couple of days and come back to discover you've been naughty. Actually I don't know what the naughtiness amounted to because posts were removed before I got in.

Early congrats on your upcoming anniversary, quite a milestone, I just celebrated mine yesterday!Retired1 went thru and performed an 'attitude adjustment,' and the broom may have been wide.

I'm excited -- our wedding anniversary is actually 5 days before my no-smoke-a-versary, but that's 28 yrs, old news.
But last night I hit a milestone I had been eagerly anticipating -- over $2000 not spent on coffin nails! WOOHOO!!! Less than a full year, and already not spent $2000... and that's just one person, at a pack a day. No wonder BT is disgruntled. 
Neener, neener!Andria
WAY TO GO ... Congrat's to another winnerI'm excited
