Oh wow-hello sense memory! Hmmmm-strawberry and fruit punch? I'd start at 5% each and go from there. Candy flavors also seem to have a fair amount of sweetener or cotton candy flavoring from TFA which I don't use so I can't advise on %. Also an addition of citric acid will make the flavors pop, prob at around 1%.

Fantastic I'm going to have to look into this! I hope I can come close!

How come you don't use sweetener, and what is the cotton candy flavor exactly? I've seen recipes where people use the cotton candy flavor AS sweetener, so it must have a fair amount of sweetener or is just plain sweetener itself

Personal choice, most flavorings are sweet enough for me, it gunks up coils faster, less chemicals the better, and I read a chemical analysis a few months back that no calorie sweetner Splenda I was using was not even vaporizing safely or something to that effect. (Ah-I pause to write that because I can't seem to remember exactly what the analysis was and I don't want to spread misinformation and I can't find the link! I will continue to search and edit when I find it, if someone has the info and can correct me, please do.) Cotton candy flavoring is just Ethyl Maltol. You can also purchase it in crystal form.

Buckshot Hard Candy reminds me of Pez so much that's why it's my ADV. I just wish I could put my finger on what they use because the exhale has this really nice powdery finish to it that I adore.

It's outrageous and I use about 5 bottles a month. I'm going to attempt a DIY of it and see if I can come close. I'd just like to know what that powdery candy taste is they use in it.

TFA Sweet tarts. Its fuckin eerie how its got a powdery exhale. I add a little malic acid for a lil extra tart on mine too -- juuust a little bit. I bet if you add a little bit of strawberry or fruit punch, you'd nail it.

edit: spelling

Sweet, thanks. I was seriously debating sweet tart flavors but I think you sold me on it.

if you like the Hard Candy as much as you say you do, and after reading their flavor profile - I'd guess its exactly what they are using too so I bet you'll save yourself a bundle! ;) I've let a buuunch of friends vape it too and everyone comments on how weird the actual sensation of powderiness is. I wonder what part of it does that? It'd be cool to find out and add it to other candy flavors...

mother of god, you were right

I just hit the motherload. For my mix, it's 2/3 sweet tart and 1/2-1/2 grape/apple. Nailed it. Funniest part...I did it on accident just fooling around with my flavors lol. Now I have a lifetime supply of my ADV for .13 cents a bottle as opposed to 12 bucks.

YESSSSSSS!!!!! That's awesome! Hate to steal their business, but really glad you tried it! It's good with lots of different flavors too, Hawaiian punch being one of them. Happy mixing!!!

So 2/3 being sweet tart, and 1/6 apple and 1/6 grape as the remaining third?

What measurements did you use mL wise? Would love to know

I think almost any flavor is possible (within reason), the amount of flavors available is just insane.

This probably isn't close, but I've taken a liking lately to Fruit Punch + Red Cow (Red Bull) at a 9-1 ratio. It is really freaking good, has just a hint a sour/bite from the Red Cow.

It's been my ADV now for a couple months, and having a hard time even vaping anything else! Hope you enjoy..

I just ordered some today per your advice. Pretty excited to try it. Going to fiddle around and add some of that TFA sweet tart to it and see if I can't get that powdery taste in there too =D
