Ive recently made a good strawberry cheesecake. I started with a unicorn milk recipe I found and modified it. I'll have to send it from my computer. I don't have it on my phone

I'd love to have a look at your recipe. I've been working on making a strawberry cheesecake with TFA flavors without success. I have some CAP NY Cheesecake now. I think I'll have to try that in the mix.

While this recipe was inspired by others and has a non TFA ingredient, I tweaked it a little and it tastes amazing!

12% One Stop DIY Blue Raspberry Slush
3% TFA Blueberry
3% TFA Cranberry
0.5-1.5% Sour

Today my first DIY order came in and thats my first true "winner". Most are still really good but that one stands out as a clean amd crisp, sweet and tart, blue raspberry flavor Great outta just being shake then vaped, amazing after 3 hours in the ultrasonic cleaner



Edit: On that note since it seems to be the flavor of discussion Im working on a great strawberry lemonade and pink lemonade using TFA flavors and One Stop DIY's Pink Lemonade that are so far great but just need a little more tweaking before Im comfortable.posting a recipe.

I'll have to try that blue raspberry slush now! I haven't tried a TFA mix with sweeteners yet since I ran out of label tape, but TFAs blue raspberry is really difficult to nail. The floral perfume scent can kill you at just 1% over, its the only batch I've made and thrown out so far (13% was HORRID). Maybe like the grape this one could use a couple percent of strawberry or regular raspberry to mellow it out.

Yeah I didnt hear good things about TFA's Blue Raspberry candy so I stayed away from it and found One Stop DIY's Blue Raspberry Slushie, which got rave reviews. Alotta people liked it by itself, but I like noticeable, pronounced fore-tastes, and subtle nuances on exhale. You get a nice blue raspberry inhale enhanced by the blueberry, while the exhale leves you with good sour notes from the cranberry and sour, mixing well with the pronounced.blue raspberry for a Jolly Rancher type taste.

Thanks for that!

Just ordered...was looking elsewhere but I was wondering what I was going to do with 2 pounds

Indeed. heck, 1lb of anhydrous citric acid is a LOT of citric acid!

There are several interesting uses noted for it in reviews I've seen around. I'd like to find some more info about cleaning out used e-liquid bottles with it. Cleaning out water stains etc. in coffee pots and dishwashers, probably also good for those instant/on-demand hot water heaters. I even saw several people saying they had used it as an ingredient in making their own mozzerella cheese.

A smaller container makes a lot more sense if you're only going to use it for eliquid.

Hey, quick question about the Dragonfruit flavor -- does it generally smell kind of like bubble gum? My bottle of it does.

It's probably how it's supposed to be I've just never used it before. I figured it was some kind of a fruit flavor. (OK you can all laugh now!)

Thanks

 

[baseballmom]

Nah, no laughing, I could see getting sort of a sweet bubblegum like smell from dragonfruit, sort of kind of, yeah


Anyone is free to make subs in my recipes too, who knows, it could even be better too....open to constructive criticism too, know I mix some "doozies" sometimes, weird flavors, what not

Lemonade vapathon mentioned....might have to look into getting some fw lemonade for this sounds fun!

Has anyone tried the Philippine Mango? I'm wondering how it compare to the regular mango in strength.

 

[Stacy1]

I havent tried it but its going on my next order list

 

[Dixie1954]

Totally off topic but vapncrazn I love that scarab reminds me of *Journey* and I ordered a bunch of flavorings from WL also - I already have over 112 - dang Flavoritis

 

[Stacy1]

Im suffering from the same thing. I keep saying that surely after this order I wont need to order anything for a while, but then I'll need one flavor and by the time I make it to check out I've got another hundred dollars worth in my cart.

 

[DarthEmma]

I made 2 orders last week and I already have another list started of flavors to order. I am getting most flavors in 4oz now. I only get new ones I'm not sure I'll like in 15ml. I now have 87 TPA flavors with 8 more on my "to order" list. Plus I have 17 Capella flavors, 3 FW, and 6 LorAnn. I must be able to make something good with all those!

Actually, I'm fortunate to have the recipes you folks have posted. Many have come out really well for me and I feel like I'm cheating by using yours.

I have a little time today to continue to tinker with my strawberry cheesecake recipe. Wish me luck.

Just got some yesterday, don't have the regular mango yet though(have another brand currently)...working this weekend so I'll be brainstorming recipe ideas while shivering outside

In the words of the eternal Morpheus:

"I know EXACTLY what you mean"

I'm going to have to stop on flavors for a while. I'm up to 58 plus some samplers I haven't worked with yet now, and have enough recipes and experimenting I can do with those that I really have no business buying anymore until I run out of something.

That's what I keep repeating to myself, anyway. LOL.

And then some one posts that recipe you just have to try and you're missing one flavor. Not wanting to pay that much for shipping for just one flavor BAM you're the proud owner of 20 new flavors. Well that's me anyway

I know that feeling all too well haha.Thanks to the posts in here the past few days,i'm down another chunk of change haha.It all started when Bill mentioned the fw lemonade,went to Bull city and they are out,then it was mentioned that heartland sells flavors,ok i'll get it there,like you said,don't want to pay a big shipping charge for 1 flavor,not a problem i need to restock on a few flavors,and they sell the 4oz. Tfa stuff,so i'll grab a few of those too,then i realize they offer free shipping over like $50 or something,so i add a few other flavors,still not there for free shipping yet,so i do the obviuos choice,i add a liter of nic in there for $45,yeah that will do it,the lemonade was like $4 and i spent another $84 to keep from paying like $3-$4 for shipping haha,makes perfect sense to me although i still can't get my wife to understand this perfectly logical theory of mine haha.

Yeah, I made the mistake last night of cataloging my flavors. Went through every bottle and didn't realize that I have about 100 different flavors in my arsenal

Of course, as a result, I noticed a few base flavors I didn't order last time

Now I gotta figure out what to make with all this luciousness

 

[DarthEmma]

And I thought I was the only one with this flavor buying addiction...
