I must of missed that one. Could you point in the right direction?

My pleasure: Strawberry and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

The Forrest Fruit is just silly good in this. Even with the raspberry and strawberry additions. I am still looking to perfect the "mouthfeel" for me but the flavor (especially the "berry") profile is spot on (for me).

The VBIC/MM combo is a great simple base to play with all sorts of other fruits. It doesn't overpower the fruit but smooths it out. If you are working with a single flavor, it will add a bit of body, and knock off a bit of the harsh edges, all without overwhelming your intended primary (fruit?) flavor.

Bull city is having a sale this weekend. It's 15% off with the coupon code "THANKYOU". I think I'll put a small order together to get a couple new ones I've been wanting to try.

 

[FranC]

Just got an order today. My usual good timing.

I don't use that base in particular but I use a very similar one in Berry Berry Good and use Forest Fruit and others berries. Strawberry as mentioned, TFA Banana at ~6%, FW Blueberry ~9% etc. Play around with it. Make up 60ml of base and then set up 4 15ml bottles, add some fruits to each and top off from your bottle of base. Shake and vape for a base line test then put them away for five days and taste again. Take good notes, on what you add and your impressions on flavor notes at each test. You will learn what tasted best to you. What could be stronger, weaker, sweeter etc. Have fun with it! That is one of the best parts of DIY.

TFA Ripe Banana at 6% ? That stuff is stronger than jet fuel lol.

TFA Banana is not that bad (5.2% average on that "other" site). On the other hand; TFA Ripe Banana is potent (2.9% average on that "other" site). @Capt.shay mentioned TFA Banana.

Indeed, I was referencing the regular banana.

The way to use Ripe Banana is to take the cap off, wave it over your mixing bottle and then put the cap back on. Even then it may be to strong.

Just don't open it near a plastic tank,it will go into thermal meltdown haha.
First time i ever used the ripe,i almost knocked over a whole bottle of juice because when i pushed the plunger on the syringe,it moved just a hair then locked up on me.
Learn something new everyday too,i didn't know Tfa had a regular banana,the only ones i have ever seen were the ripe and banana cream,now i have a new flavor to add to my next order.

Thats what i was confused about , i didn't know TFA even had a regular Banana flavor , i thought it had to be "Ripe" which is very strong.

Side note: I pay no mind to that other site so i wouldn't know what thats about.

I use the banana ripe to enhance the reg banana flavor when I make a mix like banana, strawberry, xxx mix. But I just use a couple of drops and never any more then 0.025% so of course with those types of % drops are the only way to get that.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Need to add that at first it seems to take over the mix but it will settle down over time.

I wasn't aware TFA had a regular Banana flavor , i thought it was always "Ripe" , i know they have Banana Cream & Foster but not regular Banana.

Thanks for your comment S&S.

When I make @JCinFLA nanner berry mix, I want the 'nanner' part to be a little stronger, so a few drops of ripe banana to her reg recipe does it for me.

But there is a standard TFA Banana flavoring though ? I just Googled TFA Banana and only "Ripe" comes up.

I understand , i was questioning Cap. Shays 6% TFA Banana recommendation when i was convinced TFA does not have a regular Banana flavoring , i thought they just had "Ripe" .
