Watermelon and Grape Candy go well together. I have some friends who enjoy 8% Watermelon, 3% Grape Candy, and 2% Marshmallow. One day steep for blending.

I don't have any grape candy but I'll try 2 % marshmallow instead of using any EM or Sucralose. Tempted to try some coconut extra also with every recipe just like 0.5% added to each supposed to make the fruits come out better. Probably wait though I know stuff is really strong think the pineapple and honeydew are strong as well.
I made a pineapple and vanilla mix some time ago. I stopped using it because my wife said it smelled like stinky feet when I vaped it. I never really experienced that. It just tasted good.
I don't know if you were using tfa vanilla swirl but that flavor is so strong, every single time I've tried to use it the vanilla is so rich that I can't vape it. Probably using too much but it makes the ejuice a dark brown color as well. It's been about a year and half since I've tried the vanilla swirl might try it again in really small amounts but vanilla as well as tfa cinnamon red hots were flavors I wanted to love and thought that I would but just proved to be very rich or too strong. Suppose they aren't meant to be the dominant flavor in a recipe.
So far,yes they seem to all fall right about the same.I have around 12 of them so far,and right around 15% seems to be where most of them get where i want them,i have 1 or 2 that i may bump to 20%.On the bread pudding,i originally started it at 10% and could taste it,but it was very faint,i bumped it up to 15% but haven't tried yet,although it smells quite a bit better now,so i'm guessing 15% will probably do it.Most in the rf thread are using it between 15-18%.One trick with these flavors is definitely a hot bath or 2,the flavors are in vg,so they don't want to blend very well on their own,but a hot bath and shake the crap out of it while it's warm,then let it sit at least a day seems to work fairly well.
Did you steep your's and what pg/vg ratio did you mix it at?
On my first batch,it was 10% and around 80 vg,and the flavor was there,but faint after a couple weeks and a hot bath.I thought about trying 12%,but just skipped up to 15%,but haven't tried that one yet.
Rummaging around I found a bottle of TFA bubblegum juicy style I forgot I had. I got it when I first started playing with DIY and didn't really know anything. Not that I know much more now but that's a different story, Lol!
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with this stuff? A decent mix for it?
Thanks!

If you like Juicy fruit gum,that stuff tastes identical to it at around 8-10%.I've never tried it mixed with anything else,but it's pretty good as a single flavor.
Cool, thanks! I remember I tried it once or twice but I know I mixed it a lot heavier than that. Maybe too heavy! I'll give it a go at your recommendation again. Appreciate it!
I have all three of those. Unless the flavors have escaped the bottles, I can't taste these at TWICE those percentages. Last test was caramel original at 10%, with only VG. Read some single flavor percentages of it at 15%. I've keep the cap on tight, but even the smell is not as strong as the first time I opened that bottle. Thanks, but I'm at a loss to explain this latest setback in my juice making education.
I have no idea than, I mix those with AP, and brown sugar, so maybe those help with the caramel, I have never really tried them stand alone though, only in a mix of several other flavors.

I decided to try an experiment this weekend with my original recipe, to see if I can make the caramel work, by just eliminating one of the flavors in the mix. I wont know the results for several weeks though, I figure the other flavors that I am using in my original mix might be helping bring out the caramel. I think I must add that I have never had any problems with my caramels loosing their flavor, maybe you are getting that vapers tongue thing.

So about 4 days ago I made two 8 ml bottles of some tasty stuff!
Recipe 1....
TFA Watermelon 7.5%
TFA Watermelon Candy 7.5%
TFA Mango 4%
TFA Marshmallow 2%
TFA Coconut Extra 0.35%
Recipe 2....
TFA Cantaloupe 11%
TFA Marshmallow 2%
The first recipe I liked slightly better. May use a little less coconut extra lol even at 0.35% it is one of the first notes I tasted and smelled but after awhile it blends in nicely offering a unique sweetness. It was like half a drop in the 8 ml and wow packs a punch! Overall a juicy melon type mix with plenty of sweet taste glad I decided to stop using Sweetner, definitely not needed with these two recipes.
The cantaloupe recipe was really a clean melon taste it is great as is but feel like it could be great mixed with other flavors.
Of all the flavors I recently got the Capella sweet strawberry smells by far the best. It is such a strong fresh strawberry smell. Haven't opened the bottle yet but I need to mix up these Alco based flavors to let them sit and steep. But happy my first two recipes especially the first one where it tasted like professional mixed juice were overwhelmingly successful. Glad I spent almost 2 days straight researching before buying all those flavors from BCF, definitely paying off. Tried 6 flavors so far and like all of them, never happened before in my DIY career. Mostly I buy a bunch of flavors and it's like 50/50 If I even like them lol feeling good!

It's limited to one but MFS is having a sale on 100mg nic. One liter for $30 with code BFNIC. Also Bull city is having a 20% sale with code CYBER2016. I don't know that I'll put in a flavor order but will most likely grab a liter of nic.
I did end up getting a liter from MFS. I'm not low but needed to stock up more. I should have enough glass bottles on hand to rebottle most of it.
