Pretty much. I've been to the other ones and they're ok but I started here and this is where I know the most people.
My base is 50/50 with 2% nic. But, when I add PG flavoring, the overall PG goes up (I like), the nic drops a tiny bit, which is fine since I am around 1.5mg/ml.
I just set it up that way since I like about a 70pg level and 1.5mg of nic. Is it exact every time, no, but close enough.
For testing batches (5ml of total juice), I try to be rather close with the flavorings. It takes me about 30-40 minutes to try a new recipe at 5ml. That is just me.

I just got into DIY a few months ago so I've been reading here for awhile just trying to pick up some tips and tricks. You all keep alluding to Andria's Strawberries and Cream recipe. Strawberries or Peaches and Cream are my absolute favorites. Can someone please either repost or point me in the direction of her recipe? Please???
I could not find the original post, but I saved it, It looks like I copied the whole post.

All I can offer is a great recipe that I've vaped as my ADV for about 11 months now, and others seem to really enjoy as well.
Inawera Shisha Strawberry 16%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 6%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.5%
CAP Sweet Cream 2%
TFA Sweetener 2% - 3%
If you don't want it too sweet, leave out the sweetener till you taste it. I actually use 3.1% sweetener, but I have a sweet tooth a mile long and 10 miles wide; without a lot of sweetener, to me, most stuff doesn't have much taste at all.
And no, there really is no substitute for the Inawera Shisha Strawberry; only one I've tried that tastes like ACTUAL sweet real strawberries.

I am not sure what thread that was posted in, but I did not find it in this one.

Thanks KAS!!! I'll have to order the strawberry. I've never tried any of the Inawera flavorings! Copying your post now.
Ha! Yep! I saw her on the other one as i was shutting down last night. Already logged out or I'd have messaged her.Let me help you with that..

Andria turned me on to a great dripper. It's an Achilles clone. I wish now that I had bought two because I can't find another one.
Thanks for finding it kas! I had cut the sweetner back a bit till i tasted it. The strawbrry is spot on for fresh, ripe strawberries & they need the sweetner. The creams are perfect imo. @AndriaD really nailed a good mix here.

I personally never go above 1% on sweeteners of any kind, sometimes the recipe doesn't need any at all, Just my opinion.

I usually keep them lower, too. This just needed it imo.I personally never go above 1% on sweeteners of any kind, sometimes the recipe doesn't need any at all, Just my opinion.

Those of us on the Overlooked Tootle Puffer Gear thread are working on Heavens Gfts to get a clone going for us. They says they are working on it. There is a thread on their forum about it. The more posts that thread gets, the more priority attention it will get from them.

OK, here's my
FA Mango .. not impressed ...
LA Mango .. had to go to 10%, and it's wasn't bad, but just "so so" to me
INW Mango EA ... 5% solo .. bitter, and sweetener didn't help .. dumped it
VZ Mango C .. bitter again, but add in a real "green" unripe taste along with it... dumped it too
BUT ....
HS Mango .. now we're talking ... yum yum .. 8% solo for me, it's fantastic .. cream of the crop
Also good added to a nice smooth, mellow tobacco.
Everyone I refer it too, loves it .. maybe start there.
My taste buds suck, so the % may be a little high for you to start with, but it's the pick of the litter.
@Slots What is HS? I love me some mango
I just got my first DIY order and I bought the FA. Thanks! 
Yup .... Hangsen
You might really like the FA .. it wasn't bad.
My taste buds just think HS is a lot better.
You're saying it takes you half hour to mix 5ml? Or it takes a half hour to tweak a 5ml sample of a new recipe to the way you like it?I work at a shop that makes house juice and am usually the person that makes the new batches. One batch is one gallon (3785ml) and the most it takes me is fifteen minutes start to finish including washing my beakers and whatnot.
At home, I can sit down and bang out four 100 drop tests in about half an hour.
Sounds about right.

Oh, Bill...have to tell you I love your Cream Fantastico! I made a few minor adjustments to suit my taste...and it's now one of my ADV, and a friend loves it too, after trying mine! So far, I'm having really good luck with your recipes and getting things I really like made from them. Thanks again!
