Marshmallow (not toasted)will also moisten the taste , and blueberry needs to be at least 15% from TPA/TFA IMO, unless used in a recipe

I've successfully used TFA Blueberry Wild at 10%, TFA Vanilla Swirl 3%, TFA Sweet Cream 2%.
You can add 1% TFA Marshmallow for some moistness.
Some add a drop or 2 of Lemon Juice or ACV to kick the Blueberry up a notch.
Or 1-2 drops of Blackberry or Raspberry.
Combining 2 different brands/types of Blueberry may help also.
All the DW and Saline did for me was mute the flavors IMO.
Maybe uh Lil saline solution as well. Shyyt try it all. Lol.
Edit: Oops dint c that last sentence. Lol my bad.
I just came up with another concoction that is probably my favorite DIY to date. I call it Blimey Limey and it's inspired by the Tropical Smoothie flavor.
10 Mil
36mg PG base mixed down to 6mg
60% PG 40% VG
TFA Strawberry Ripe - 5%
Capella's Sweet Tangerine - 3% (this one might get bumped up to 5% on my next batch)
TFA Lemon Lime - 2%
TFA Pineapple - 1%
TFA Key Lime - 1%
I steeped it on low in the crock pot for about an hour and it's good to go.

Nice. I was gonna ask if the recipes had to be all TFA flavors only. Koo. Guess not. Lol sweet.
Rules are meant to be broken when you have a great recipe

Mixed this up in a whim yesterday and now making a larger batch.
Mint Julep
Kentucky Bourbon 10%
Horchata Smooth 7%
Creme De Menthe 5%
Koolada 0.5%-1%
EM 1%-2%
Actually pretty balanced, but will work on it a lil more. My initial thought was that a light cinnamon would make the 'jack daniels' into more of a 'makers mark' but really the trick is the cinnamon(horchata) is subtle on the exhale.

I've been trying to nail down a Vanilla recipe.
Then, after some failures, I thought I'd try and do a cappuccino (not based on the flavor, mix my own).
Thinking I would stretch my budget, I got the Coffee Extra (Clear). Hard to work with in small quantities!
So, I am back to my (French) Vanilla...
Here's the two that I tried, mixes are 30/70/7.5 PG/VG/NIC(mg)
I use eJuiceMeUp...
I test in 10ml batches, so amounts are in mls
Base:
1 Nic
1 VG
-0.02 PG (error, I ignore it, it's so small)
#1
1 Fr. Van 10%
0.5 Caramel 5%
0.3 Sw. Crm 3%
0.2 Ct. Can 2%
This one seemed just a tad chemical-ly, although on some exhales I could detect Vanilla
#2
0.6 Fr. Van 6%
0.3 Caramel 3%
0.3 Sw. Crm 3%
0.3 Ct. Can 3%
Something was there, but I couldn't make out what - maybe the cotton candy?
#3
0.8 Fr. Van 8%
0.5 Caramel 5%
0.4 Sw. Crm 4%
0.3 Ct. Can 3%
Again, something is here, I get a little more vanilla and sweet, but it's mostly bland.
The Caramel I'm using is just 'Caramel', not the candy, (Original), etc.
Am I chasing ghosts? I've read varying amounts of French Vanilla to use-
one member even insisted on not going above 2% - but I've also seen others
go as high as 10%.
All flavors are, of course, PA/TFA.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I'm by no means a master mixologist, but I've had this problem and have a suggestion... Try the mix with No sweet cream or cotton candy... Both can make a bland mix... Try it then.
Next slowly (if you need to) add micro amounts of Either sw. cr Or ct can....
Work from there adjusting up the later two ingrediants.

Most of the Vanilla's are artificial tasting when trying for a stand alone.
Some add a bit of Chocolate, Tobacco, or Coffee, to enhance the Vanilla's.
And some say that EM is a must when trying to make a plain Vanilla vape.
French Vanilla 5%
Sweet Cream 4%
Vanilla Swirl 3%
EM or CC 2-3% (optional)
This will get you close, maybe...
But I found it needs to steep for 1-2 weeks to settle down, and Caramel is another steeper IMO.
You can add a bit of Double Chocolate Clear (1% ish), with the Caramel too.
I found Milk Chocolate too weak, more like water to me.
I've only used the Carmel (original) tho.
And I've heard some good things about the new TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato, although I haven't gotten any to try yet.

I'll try that, thanks!
I've heard the same about VB Gelato, it's supposed to be the same as VB Ice Cream, minus the custard notes (acetyls/acetoin).
I may have to pick up some today, I am fortunate enough to have a B&M that stocks TFA/TPA - 10mls @ 2.00$ per flavor.
Thanks!
I've never tried the vanilla bean ice cream,but i can say the gelato is fantastic.I bought a small sample bottle,and after mixing 1 batch of it,i had to order a big bottle that same day.I haven't tried it mixed with anything else yet,but it's great as a stand alone at 5%,just give it a hot water bath and let it sit overnight.It's pretty good after that,but gets better every day,each day it tastes creamier.
Who stocks in Pontiac? It would be worth the motorcycle ride just to get some the same day I want it
It's Waterford, actually, but just down the road from Baldwin & Montcalm. Shout out to DIY Vapor Supply!
2571 Dixie Hwy, Waterford Township, MI 48328.
I don't want to sound like a shill, but they treat me almost like family, never make me feel like I am asking a stupid question.
I get all my liquid supplies, syringes, etc. and Kanthal from them.
They've got an eLiquid bar to sample house mixes, but are more than happy to sell you DIY gear.
Hope this helps!
P.S. they are also very friendly and professional on the phone, google their number, if you've got your heart set on a flavor
and want to make sure they have it before making a long ride. They carry TFA/TPA, Capella, and Flavor West.
