I was just not impressed with them at all. I made the VG version of Bread Pudding and it was pretty tasty after it set for 2 months.

Yeah,i wasn't either,and i spent a good amount of money buying a bunch of the vg flavors,just to be let down by every one of them,except the creme brulee,that was the only one i got to work well.I tried the vg bread pudding,and it was good but too lite unless like you,i let it steep forever haha,so i got the sc version of it,and at 2% it was the same,very faint,so just upped it today,so i'll try it again in a week or so.
I have a handful of the VG RF and so far - I will just say I will not be ordering more of them. I do have a few SC flavors I'll be testing out but as of right now - they will not replace any of my normal flavorings (TFA, CAP, FV, INW).
I have one mix with VG Butterscotch at 12% - I use other TFA flavorings and the VG RF one as a type of "base". Trying for a Butterscotch crumble cake. Basically just trying to find ways to use up the VG RF flavors. If this works or even comes close - I may be able to mix up something the hubs would like. He doesn't like strong flavors so these being so muted may be fine for him.

I really like it. It was a little sweet to me at3% but definitely good. I started mixing 4% sweet and tart with it to make it more sour. I'm letting the regular lemonade steep as it wasn't good right away like the strawberry was.
So far the RF lemonade is a no go. It's been steeping since I got it and it has no flavor at all. The recommended percentage was 2.5 and I went with 3. The lemon cake is starting to mature some. Maybe another week or so.
Has anyone tried the cap pink lemonade? It's pretty good. I haven't decided on a final percentage number yet.
I can definitely see why you added the sweet and tart.I made the sample at 3.5%,and it is really good,but really sweet,which i think part of that is because i mix 70% vg so some of the sweetness is coming from that.I don't taste any lemonade in it though,just strawberry,but it's a good strawberry taste.
Everything i read on the RF VG flavors says you got to really jack the percentage up to get them to taste like they should , i could barely taste anything at 10% with most of them so after reading a few reddit reviewers i tried 15% and that was ideal .
I would be shocked if anybody could taste them in the 2-4% range . I am actually shocked VG is even considered when making flavorings , everybody knows it's a horrible flavor carrier.
OMG , thats not good , most rave about them from what i have seen but i also heard the SC versions have a strong alcohol vibe which kills it for me.
The percentages for the SC versions i heard are around 2% so they must be incredibly strong but can't confirm until i try .
Thanks for the info.
The ones I got are super concentrated and the recommended percentage is 2.5. The regular flavors need to be mixed higher from what I understand. Trust me, you wouldn't want the strawberry lemonade much higher than 3%.
Just got the strawberry lemonade... Strawberry in it is good but no lemonade... Do you detect any lemon/lemonade from it?
The strawberry is very up front. After a few days I thought I tasted a tiny bit of lemonade. That's why I added the sweet and tart.
Decided to try menthol so I got some crystals from WL with my last TFA order. I was thinking of just adding a little to various recipes.
They suggest mixing 1 gram of crystal with 10 mls of PG, and using that mixture like you would use other flavorings.
Had a problem with my scales. I normally use them for weighing shellac where I need multiple grams. The scales only display grams, not even 1/10ths of a gram, so it probably came out somewhere between 1 and 2 grams though it could be way less or more. I'm not a stickler for precision in mixing juice, but that's a little too much uncertainty. Any suggestions for decent cheap scales?
Also, I've seen various suggestions for mixing crystals. The WL ratio was 1g to 10ml PG. But I've seen a lot of mentions of filling a bottle with crystals and adding PG to that, which must be many times more concentrated than the WL recipe.
Then I decided to try it right away. Added 5% of my menthol mix to some nic base. I could barely taste the menthol at all. Then added a bunch more of the menthol premix to the tank probably bringing it up to 50%. That tasted pretty good actually. Does it need steeping?
Anyone got suggestions on how to use menthol crystals? Assuming I get some scales.

I started out with crystals but just buy it premade now. I use it in a menthol tobacco along with koolada. I felt like koolada added what was missing with just the menthol. I seem to remember someone measuring crystals by the teaspoon. I can't remember the amount though.
I thought I was the only one that felt that way about OSDIY's BRS. I bought a big 4 oz bottle knowing how much I LOVE blue raspberry and they hype that I read from everyone just to be disappointed in the flavor. Don't get me wrong I vape on it occasionally but def is t an ADV for me.

Most of the time 1 gram = 1ml. Didn't WL include a little spoon with the crystals? Some vendors do.
since a tsp is almost 5ml, to get to 1 use 1/5 of a teaspoon for a starting place.
1 Teaspoon [US] = 4.92892159 Milliliters
