Yeah,i will definitely let ya know.I will let them sit until saturday,then i'll give them a try.I'm definitely looking forward to trying the black cherry one,as i really like black cherry,but have only ever had it 1 time in eliquid and that one was horrible haha,had a really strong cough syrup taste and smell,but when i mixed up your recipe,i did not notice a bad smell from the Tfa black cherry,it actuaally smells really good,so looking forward to it.Now that you mention pipe tobacco mixes,i may have to try that recipe and swap out some of my nets in place of the dk too,i have several cigar extracts that i've done,and i did a captain black pipe tobacco,so that black cherry/vanilla probably would go very well with the capt. black.

Been using the thread search feature till I get around to trying to read the whole thread.
Ripe Banana was one search, the stuff attacks silicone tubing and cracked three of my TGT tanks, really great flavor though.
Acetyl Pyrazine was another search, I make a blend I call "Caramel Corn" that is popcorn, orig. caramel and some cotton candy. When my popcorn flavor is all gone I shall use this.
DK was mentioned a lot, I use to make that 16 oz. or larger at a time. Stll have some, been steeping for 2 years or more.
I use cotton candy for sweetener mostly.
Citric acid? how about vinigar? Similiar result?
I only make 30 ml batches these days due to my "wasteful past"
My bottles are from Fasttech when I have the time to wait.(PET)
My flavoring, all 4 oz. and VG or PG is from TPA.
I try to buy the nic base in 100 mg one liter VG from MyFreedomSmokes when they have the $40 special.
End of this ramble

VG/PG at TPA = $.0211 per ml
BCV = $.0177 per ml
($7.25 vs $10)
about 20% less - cheapest I've seen.

I try to order as much of what I need into one shipment to save as much as possible on shipping charges.
For sure.
They are out of stock a lot too.
But they offer the best price on TFA small sizes: $1.75 for 10ml - good for checking out new flavors.
And they offer flavors from a lot of other vendors too if you wanna try some CAP, FA etc.
Thanks again for the suggestions. Finally hit on the right combo by upping strawberry to 15% and adding 1% sour. She is a happy camper now.
Another question on your recipes Bill; looking at your "Recipes for a Sweet Tooth", I see three recipes that specify Dark Double Chocolate, whereas the rest just say Double Chocolate. Does this mean that the unspecified ones are the clear version, or you have left it up to the mixer's choice which to use?
Also, Flamingo is one of my top favorites right now
I now use only clear double chocolate in my mixes, but used to use both clear and dark. They're both good, but the dark has some challenges that the clear does not have. Good luck!
I like the plastic tapered syringes that I can cut off to about any size:
Dispensing Needle, Plastic Tapered Beige 14 ga 0.063id x 1.25" Tip, 50 pcs: Science Lab Needles: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
On the steel needle luer lock type, I use these:
Dispensing Needle, Blunt Tip 14 ga x 1-1/2" 50 pcs: Science Lab Needles: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
The plastic ones work great with VG, the metal 14 ga are great with PG. However, my favorite are these:
Syringe 100CC/ML: Plastic Syringe: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
I cut these ends off and they work great on VG. That stuff is so thick, I have found these work the very best. good luck!

I prefer to lower the heat to match the juice flavor, rather than increase the flavor to match excessive heat. Yes, high heat will yield less flavor generally speaking. However, the trend in devices to use 50 - 200 watts is just going to create problems for vapers as they leave very little room for error, and explosive accidents are going to happen, with predictable escalation. Just everyone please remember to vape safely. There's a lot more energy in these devices than many can imagine, and there's no reason to turn them into pipe bombs. Lower the heat, enjoy the flavor! Vape safe! Good luck!
And furthermore hi ya Bill! unnecessary, if we first learn how to create a properly efficient electrical wind and build. Doesn't mean we're chained to it. Or that we have to wind a given way. Just that we have a baseline for performance and yes, flavor. The other to incorporate and test different media because we just may have a favorite out there that we have never tried. Sort of like the stereo that finally revealed all the sweet notes you love in your music.
Just sayin'
:wink:
Good luck all.
The order I just placed:
Mango
Strawberry
Papaya
Bavarian cream
Cotton candy
Dragon fruit
Cantaloupe
Marshmallow
Sweet cream
Vanilla swirl
Juicy peach
Vanilla cupcake
Vanilla custard

Any must have additions anyone can think of? I like creamy fruit mostly but wanted to try the cinnamon Danish ADV people have been talking about from bill.

I would recommend you add Sweetener and Sweet and Tart. I find these essential. Yours is a very good list for starters. On fruit side, lemon is also very good, and so are apple and watermelon. Brown sugar and graham cracker and pie crust are very useful additions, as well. Good luck!

I have the sweetener already! I'm pretty excited for it to get here! Also most of the flavors in 4 oz since it was not much more
I was thinking of going to 4oz till I figured out how much that can make lol I am old and do not go through much more than 1 ml a day so um er I changed my mind for me to play DIY I need to get tiny amounts lol But I do love adapting Bill's recipes to my percentages or even to other brands

I have you down as two years younger than me, that is if that 1954 means anything. I'm just in denial
Guess that puts me right between you two old farts at 1955
***Edit...Damn math...lol
How about "right around your age" instead...yeah that works

If you get Graham Cracker - make sure you get the Clear version! Don't do what I did!

Precisely what I was looking for.
Thank you sir!

Yeah I have to get the 4oz because of I end up making a flavor I like, for example cinnamon Danish, I will easily go through 8-10 ml a day

Yeah, me too!
If I'm working from my home office, then I can go through two to four tanks per day. If on the road, maybe one tank or two a day. At one mil a day, as, Dixie mentioned, I would probably get the smallest sizes as well. I generally make juice in amounts of 200 - 500 mils at a time, so the 16 ounce size works best for me on my ADV's, with specialty juices at 4 ounce flavor sizes. Too each their own! Vape Strong!
Thanks Bill. I had already mixed up your Butterfinger recipe with the dark version last night [emoji20], I haven't tried it yet though.I now use only clear double chocolate in my mixes, but used to use both clear and dark. They're both good, but the dark has some challenges that the clear does not have. Good luck!
I have far more of the clear than the dark so it's good news that is the way you have gone. :cheers:
