Maybe try out /u/kirkt's #1 recipe from July ;)

Some mint or menthol maybe? Should give your palate something and not give out much smell I think

I get away with vanilla custard.

You don't need to store it in a freezer. The shelf life is longer than 1 year, typically closer to 2 and even then, it doesn't go rancid, it's hygroscopic and ends up thinning out. It can occasionally pick up some off notes, if stored improperly for a long time but even then it would likely only be noticable if you were vaping unflavored.

1L isn't a lot of VG. Go for it.

The clone challenge is still a thing. Once a month. ISFR it was supposed to be some amount of INW Pineapple, I think a CAP Jelly Candy (or something like that) and maybe a bit of citrus, possibly INW Lemon Mix, maybe a grapefruit? The problem with these clone challenges is knowing if you're got it.... Since most of the time the person trying to create the clone has never tried the original, even if it is still on the market. When it isn't, it's even more of a challenge.

The smartest thing here is to bump up the FLV Cream to 1.5. If you're looking for more vanilla with your sub, instead of upping Shisha Vanilla, up the VBIC a little bit. The TFA Whipped Cream sub would probably change the whole thing completely as it's mostly triacetin which smooths and blends other flavors.

Try 1:1 subbing TFA Sweet Cream. But don’t make a large batch of that in case you hate it

You know, I was sure I had made a substitution and could help you, but in looking back what I had subbed was Cap Vanilla Whipped Cream for Flv Cream (and I don't recommend this because it's really overly sweet, though perhaps messed something up because I'd seen several people do it) (in fact, I'm leery to suggest increasing anything sweet in this recipe because of this).

Your option 3 makes sense to me and I think that's what I'd be tempted to do, but if the other person has actually tried option 2, that might save you some work.

Here's the recipe if anyone else wants to look it over:

INW Lemon Mix is a great lemon zest flavor. LA Lemonade is more commercial lemonade, but add in the Lemon Mix and it's a bit more homemade style. If I can get a few days time freed up, I should run SFTs on the twenty or so lemons I just got in... Maybe one is close enough to the OG INW Lemon...

Yes, it does. I've learned to stop buying 4 oz bottles and just stick to 30 mls because the concentrate itself it's not as potent after a fairly short time. If you used an old batch, the reason why you can't find the cookie is that the creams in the recipe came out more with a short steep and covered it up. If you had a fresh bottle, it would have just steeped to a nice balance instead of getting run over by the cream.

I take two different setups with me to work with different juices. When I get home I have two different setups with MTL tanks that I use in the kitchen. Then I’ve got another setup that really doesn’t get much action also sitting in my kitchen. In my basement I’ve got three more for testing flavors, though I’m pretty lazy so I really just rewick one of them and drip different things until it’s all nasty.

Once my cotton is dry in my RDA I just drip a new mix on. Unless it's a strong flavour like coffee, menthol etc there's little to no crossover.

​

I tend to drip a different mix every time it goes dry otherwise I get too used to the mix and it goes bland.

Why wouldn't you just use the same thing?

RDA's are cheap. I have 5 of them. It only take a few seconds to swap them out - only one mod required. Variety is a good thing.

For some reason they won’t load on my phone, so I can’t see what they are, but there was recently a weekly thing we did called Throwback Thursday that was meant to update all the old and outdated stuff in the sidebar. So it should be up to date.

Edit: checked, and they are up to date.

You can get 100 10ml bottles for $15 from Dropperbottles but glass is a good option too, if you don't mind rinsing and drying them.

And because you're getting into single flavor testing it's definitely worth reading Concrete's Single Flavor Testing Part 1 and Part 2

I see Apex gave a solid option for bottles question. I came to say that that caramel is what's ruining that mix. There are many better choices, but a really good one for pairing with apple is FW Salted. I would bump it up to 4%.

I personally would drop fuji and bavarian to 2%. If I had to guess, that recipe was prob made using a low wattage device from back in the day.

Welcome!

When I first started diy, I was told to single flavor test all of my flavors. It was great advice. It's the best way to really get to know your flavors, as well as to find out what you like. Also, the Flavor reviews on this sub are priceless info. They can give you a starting percentage for lots of flavors.

I just bought a testtube rack and some 10ml flip cap plastic tubes plus 10 borosilicate ones.

Going to do some % profiling and blending.

Yes. It's the very defenition of a percentage.

If you want to make 100ml, then 1% of X means 1ml X, 99 ml base. If you already have 100ml base, mathematically you can't just add 1ml X, because then you'd have 101ml with 1ml X, which is less then 1%.

I know math is hard. Use an e liquid calculator.

If it's a normal MTL device 3% should still do the trick. If it's a pod device you may want to go up to 4%.

But in all reality, I couldnt believe how well that post did. I'm glad so many people actually had recipes they were mad proud of. People always on here talking how good someone else's recipe is, it's a good feeling to jerk your own dick sometimes. Happy new year, everyone.

If VapersTek will ship to you, I'd recommend them. It seems like all the Canadian nic suppliers get mixed reviews. Not sure what /u/juthinc uses, but I imagine he's a picky bastard and could steer you in the right direction.

It should be quite easy to replicate given the flavor description.

Butterscotch Ripple at 1-2% should work. Start at 1% and work your way up if you need to.

You could try .1% FLV coconut...

INW Biscuit, JF Yellow Cake, FA Zeppola, CAP Sugar Cookie, TPA Butter

There's also FA Cookie and FA Apple Pie, JF Cookie JF Biscuit and JF Yellow Cake, WF Croissant, CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl, FLV Sweet Dough and FLV Graham Cracker, TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust and TFA Pie Crust, FW Cinnamon Roll and FW Graham Cracker.

It will work. I assume you have 70/30 VG/PG. you will end up with 60/40 VG/PG and you should be good to go just shaking it up.
