I told her to make some juice, and to be creative with it. She's not great with percentages, so i told her to use up to 10ml of flavoring for a 50ml bottle. I can't do conversion right now, but it's pretty nice.
All tfa:
Honeydew: 2ml ~4%
Strawberry: 2ml ~4%
Cantaloupe: 1ml ~2%
Blueberry wild: 1ml ~ 2%
Total 12%
It's a really smooth melon flavor, with a nice berry finish. Tastes like a fruit salad and i love it. Add either a custard/vbic base to it and it'll be lovelier.

And now an official message from Anti-Custard man:
"Don't do it kids, custard is not needed in everything. Stay off custard and play safe."
Personal opinion. I added 1% vbic to it, and it gave it a nice mouth feel. It's not needed, but I wanted to add that a cream/custard does go well in it..
To be fair, I do this. Sometimes I'll just add flavours that sound nice and/or smell nice when mixing. I've come up with a couple of awesome mixes and have been back and made them again
Yeah, I think everybody's different when it comes to finding a creative method that works for you. I've actually had a couple successful experiments from mixing test batches by smell. I sniff the flavoring bottles I'm considering, decide on one, add some to the target bottle and make a note of the percentage in a new recipe file, shake the bottle up, sniff the mix, and pull a new flavor, repeat... Not that I've come up with anything that couldn't be refined, but I've had encouraging results. Works particularly well for fruit flavors; I don't think it would work as well for creams/custards/bakery flavors.
Once my new empty-bottle order gets in, I'll get around to actually making single-flavor test batches and doing my homework the right way. :P
I'm a nose mixer! I create my flavor pallet by smell then create a rough recipe with what I think will be good %'s and then as I'm mixing alter the recipe to smell. I have great results that way, some specific flavor profiles are pretty much impossible to do that way, but freehanding like that pretty much always yields good results.
I make a recipe similar to that. I use tfa pear instead of the blueberry and it's delicious. I did just get some of that blueberry in the mail though....
I am really glad that she was able to come up with something you love, I think we all know that sometimes the new mixes don't always end up even being vapable, let alone turn out that great! Make sure that you send along our congrats as well as our thanks because after my new order gets here I am now planning on trying this one because it sounds delicious with a vbic base.
Now we gotta get her started on the next mix to try and make it a monthly thing. And we will know when you are in the doghouse when we see the 4% pizza 4% black licorice 2% Worcestershire sauce lol
