Right....well, the peach recipe, while looking yummy, doesn't contain horchata. I'm not sure if you were suggesting to replace the cinnamon with horchata or....?

And as for the stern talking to...I tried that...they just won't listen. Just keep coming back at me with the whole "It's not me, it's you" shpiel. Smart-alecs.

I can't believe you didn't like some of those flavors! :ohmy:

Have you looked at the ECF TFA mixing % suggestions?

Very nice :) ok no I don't have honeysuckle, but I also just ran out of peach, so I need to order more and maybe I'll snag some honeysuckle as well. Now, I use Juicy Peach, think that will matter?

I like the TFA Peach (Juicy) the TFA Honeysuckle is very nice as well you might as well order some Pear while your at it.

Lol! Oh my goodness that is NOT my list of ones I don't like lol. That's everything I own. Hottierockstar said she (I assume she) would try and help me like my unlikables that I put in my OP so I was listing what I own.

What could I do with the pear? Or was that a part of the recipe that I missed?

So far out of the above mentioned flavors (I didn't include the unloved ones in my OP), I have only been able to come up with a few things I like. I have a strawberry cheesecake, jello monkey (someone else's recipe that I adore), straight ry4D which I forgot to list in my flavorings, and my R2D2 recipe that I posted in the TFA thread. I have a strawberry/blueberry blend that's "meh" as well.

I got irritated with my lack of ability to produce things I love/think of things to invent and ordered a bit of premade from my old and loved vendor the other day.

I'm an e-juice failure!! Lol :p

Today I feel like a eJuice failure.

You can use TFA Pear all by itself it's one of the really good ones I've tried.

If you like Juicy peach, then that's the one to use, I like that one too. There's a great lot of personal preference between different flavors I'm finding. To me, one pineapple (for example) smells and tastes like burning rubber and another is fabulous. I find an incredible difference between TFA coconut (yum) and coconut candy (barf-o-rama). So it's still a lot of trial and error but if one brand isn't doing it for you, another brand of the same flavor might. If the juicy peach is working for you, heck yes stick with it!

Another thing I like to do is search for real recipes for desserts, drinks, etc. to see how they might translate to e-liquids. I've had some real lightbulb moments. Plus some that should have stayed in the dark. lol

Does the honeysuckle taste like flowers?

No, the Honeysuckle is a very nice flavor not floral at all kind of like a nice lite Honey. I would start at 5 percent 10% seemed kind of strong to me.

I just tried the TFA Chrysanthemum and it definitely has a floral taste.

Do you have a peach or brown sugar? Horchata goes very well with them. Sort of like a lightly cinnamon spiced peach. I haven't used Loranns version, I have TFA and to me it's very potent. I never use over 2% Horchata in a mix, but then I'm kind of sensitive to cinnamon flavorings in general. No problem with the real thing.
OK, here- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-recipes/406661-peachy-glee.html This is Mike's recipe and it's really good. I posted in the thread the percentages I tried but have since went to just brown sugar with it at 2%, no cotton candy. If you don't have the honeysuckle, you might try more peach or pear or some other light fruit that to you would be good with a touch of cinnamon IRL.

Thank you glasseye for leading me to this recipe and for sharing your modification/upgrade. I am getting ready to use it to make my very first multi-flavor mix.

I am wondering if the recipe might benefit from a flavor enhancer. I have the usual suspects (koolada, smooth, lemon juice, vape wizard...)

Feedback from you and/or the other experienced mixologists is greatly appreciated/anticipated. :) I'm set up and ready!

edit- did I hijack? I can be a rude girl when excited. :oops:
