Try a different mango. I haven't tried any mango flavors yet, but others say that TFA isn't very good. I suggest INW because all of their stuff is really good. Then you'll want to use other flavors to give the syrupy taste. I suggest TFA Strawberry at 1%, TFA quince at .25%, TFA jackfruit at .5%, and INW Kaktus at .5%. This should be very sweet and juicy. If you go with INW, start the mango at 1% with the modifiers above.

To add to everything skidz said, I can vouch for Cap Sweet Mango. Way better than TFA. Start at 3%.

TFA Mango is kind of meh. TFA Philippine Mango is a bit better but still needs another mango flavor to back it up.

My suggestion (probably too late) is another mango. Cap sweet mango and INW mango will not get you where you want to go by themselves. If you order from bull city, check out their SC mango. It is hands down the best mango flavor I have tried, but it still gets covered up a little by heavy things. Otherwise, check out INW shisha mango.

INW mango and cap sweet mango get lost in a mix, and are kind of dull and dry. The INW shisha mango is very bright, almost astringent, and stands out really well, but I have to use it pretty low in addition to other mangos bc it doesn't have the best mango flavor.

Mango flavors in general get covered up really easily and lose their "brightness".

I agree with skidz on the additives, though. Cactus, pineapple, papaya, jackfruit, quince...something bright and tropical.

I like mango. Mango is hard.

I have 1 mango flavor and it's from hangsen. Tastes like Rita's mango italian ice, or maybe mango sorbet. I wish it had a little more of that ripe mango flavor but it's still delicous

Amber is going to give you a tart, semi-boozy flavor. You can try 1-2% TFA Nectarine or FA White Peach at 0.5% to boost the mango.

One more suggestion just cause I haven't seen it from anyone else. It won't really make your mango juicier but it will make it creamier. Try a 3-5:1 ratio of TFA Mango to TFA Orange Cream.

I would suggest LorAnn's Mango. It was a staple in many of my earlier juice recipes, and it still catches my fancy. To me, it's more of a Mango Nectar flavor.

Why not? The advantage is plenty of headroom for some vigorous shaking!

Yes

Check the first order flavors, there is a list of the best TFA flavors that is still fairly up to date.

I'm a huge fan of some of the simpler things

Any of our Mastervapor cereals are good (it's a popular brand renamed). Admiral berry crunch is awesome.

Normally have some lucky cereal made up, maybe some Flavorah tropical punch.

Any flavour profiles you like and I'll try and recommend some.

it depends on what profiles you're making. if you're making more fruits you'll obviously want a variety of those, if you're making deserts you'll want more cookies and cakes. drinks you'll want sour and cactus.

What have you been making and what do you hope to make?

1. For percentage, 3/15=.2

2. Throw away your nicotine. It's probably a transparent pink color, smells a small bit like rotten fish with a strong pepper scent?

In the sidebar are some great calculators to do exactly this. Or, go to e-liquid-recipes.com and make an account.

What fruit extracts are you using? I find a lot of my mixes using TFA fruits are burny and harsh as shake 'n vape, but fine after an overnight steep.

Not sure if you mean your finished juice is 15 ml total, and 3ml of which is flavour ,if so that's 25% flavour . If you ended up with 18ml with 3ml flavour that's 20% flavour . Grab a juice calc from the side bar mate and all the math will be taken care of . You can input your required % as per most recipes and the calc will dose it to the perfect ratio every time . Disclaimer , my maths above were off the top of my head with my morn coffee so brain not fully functional yet

Chocolate concentrates suck. Medicine Flower has made some decent ones, but still nothing that I think anyone would like to vape.

Chocolate is probably the most finicky flavor. A lot of the extracts available don't taste right, they turn chalky- or burnt-tasting when vaped, and so on. It gets worse as the percentage increases, so chocolate is pretty much relegated to a background role in overall flavors.

I'm afraid I have to generally agree with skiddlz. Most aren't very good, and the ones that are good are terrible about destroying coils.

I've had some success with TFA double chocolate clear so long as I pair it with TFA vanilla bean ice cream. The buttery smooth aggressiveness of vbic helps to balance the aggressive artificial chocolate flavor.

Bav cream is a go to for a fruit cream. Sweet cream works better for me in deserts. CGC is not a cream imo; it is just the crust of the cheesecake (that's all I get from it).

A good light "cream" to fill out a fruit mix is TFA vanilla swirl ~1%.

Most of my fruit mixes are just fruit though. Creams can cover up fruits and dull them down a bit.

And yes, creams are generally used lower than other flavorings for various reasons. Most of them don't taste too good at high percentages due to things like butyric acid and such, or they cover up whatever you are blending them with.

Not being able to taste strawberry in the mix is not unheard of. I can think of a few people that have discussed this. Poor unfortunate souls...

I think there are some that can only taste certain strawberries. I think /u/cjinct is one of these.

bullcity is east coast.

You should be able to get vegetable glycerine at drug stores or wal mart. It's used a skin conditioner if that helps in your search.

I don't know what the quality of it is, but you can pick up VG at Walmart.

Edit: I just placed my 1st order yesterday. I ordered VG from Essential Depot and it's already on its way and should be here Thursday. I'm on the east coast also.

Edit 2: if you end up getting your VG from them it's cheaper to get it from them thru amazon than their website.

Bullcityvapor is the east coast vendor. Usually ships same day or morning after, in the mailbox within 2 business days.

I am not experienced with the cantaloupe either, but I think regular TFA strawberry would benefit this mix. And upping the dragonfruit to 3.

Fuck cantaloupe use honeydew

Also (ripe) is normally my favorite but in the honey pearry mix, normal TFA Strawberry is a must.

• TFA Pear 5%
• TFA Strawberry 4%
• TFA Honeydew 3%
• optional TFA Dragonfruit 1%

Edit: TFA Honeydew is awesome. 3% standalone tastes like those melon house juices you used to get back in the ego/mvp era. In a good way

I think of myself as a new mixer and I'm not sure and not familiar with FW Cantaloupe, but I'd bet Strawberry Ripe is the culprit. Try mixing just the pear, cantaloupe, and dragonfruit at these %s and it probably won't be bland, and then you'd know for sure where the problem lies. If you want Strawberry Ripe in there, lower the % to 2.5 or 3. I'd try a different strawberry though, or add another strawberry in addition to Ripe.

Try the April Monthly Recipe thread.

Drop the apple to 2% and keep the caramel at 3%.

0. Don't use sweetener until you're experienced enough. Sweetener is the bane of progress in this hobby.

.5% has always been good when I wanted sweeter. I think .75% is the highest I've gone.

Olfactory fatigue, vapor's tongue, wth you want to call it, sounds like too much sour. How much are you using? ? .1-.5% should be the most. Literally a few drops per 30ml.

I would think that 12% is way too high, and overload is why you can't taste it. But I can def vouch for Cap Sweet Mango being very good. 3% to start.

1. Sorry, I don't like any of those 3 in my vape:)

2. Everything from the "my first flavors" in the sidebar is solid. Collect them all!

Seriously, if you really lurk and search here for recipes with POSITIVE feedback, and buy those flavors needed, you will end up with most of them anyway.

INW coffee is the only coffee I can stand. All the others taste like popcorn to me.

MF dark chocolate is delicious, and although I haven't tried these others, I trust the recommendations.

As for cinnamon flavorings, FLV rich cinnamon is really good. FW cinnamon roll is good. The TFA cinnamon stuff is a little different, and works for me sometimes. They have a different type of cinnamon flavor that is hard to describe.

Some good things to have around would be a few creams (bavarian, sweet, vanilla swirl), marshmallow, and cheesecake graham crust. Just keep watching the recipes posted and make a note of the common ones used.

I buy my bottles from BCV. $20 for 50 30mL bottles.

>Second, I carry juice and I use the brown bags that the Philip Rocke Grand reserve comes in, however I haven't purchased juice and especially that juice in 6 months so I'm wondering what everyone else uses to carry around their juice.

Ummm, pockets?

• TFA strawberry 3
• TFA straw ripe 4
• TFA CheesegrahamCrust 3
• TFA Bav Cream 3

will be good right away, even better after a week

Have you been to /r/shakeandvape? Kinda slow there, but it may help.

The first order flavors are really good, I suggest finding recipes here that you would like and have good feedback, then buy the flavors for them.
