Cappla sweet mango Philipine mango FA Mango TFA mango Shisha mango Sweet betsy mango Flavor monkey mango Juicy malysian mango Malysian mango
Cataloupe , peach , malic acids , all sweetners , enhancers , other fruits
Tried all by a variety of combinations but not convinced
I need real mango taste
Is that INW Shisha Mango or VT Shisha Mango and which cantaloupe/peach flavors do you have?
INW shisha mango . Capplla and FA MELON cantaloupe
I'm trying to think of who to turn that stuff into a real mango taste but drawing blanks. CAP Sweet, TFA Philipine, FA, TFA, INW Shisha... forget about them. They might be some small component but no combination of those is going to give you want you want without something else. Been there, tried that. I can't speak to the FM Sweet Betsy and tbh I've never even heard of Flavor Monkey.
Is it possible for you to get your hands on any of these: VT Shisha Mango, FLV Mango, FE Mango, and/or Wrecka Mango Ripe?

Thanks in advance btw
Ouch. Well, you got one decent cherry. Considering you only ordered two cherry flavors, you're pretty lucky to get a good one. And you can't go wrong with fa fuji. So that's your good flavors. Cap apple candy, meh. Should work with fuji, so...
4% CAP GAHC
3% INW Cherries
2% FA Fuji
Straight up apple candy with a hint of cherry.
I will try this out tonight- thanks. Yeah, I'd heard about cherry flavors sucking. I really liked vapejoose's california cherry though, and I wanted to give it a stab. That and I was stoned when I ordered and cherries sounded good....
Only fruit flavors... Tricky.
Fuji + anything fruit is going to be decent at worst.
Stawberry Ripe - 3% Cherries - 2% Shisha Stawberry - 1% Alpine stawberry - .5%
Simple strawberry flavor. The cherries is going to make it taste more 'red' rather than like cherry.
Cherry hard candy flavor:
Cherries - 3% Black Cherry - 1% (2% if you want that somewhat more medicinal/puckery cherry vibe) Ripe Stawberry - 2% Green apple candy - 2%

This will get you a cannoli like base which is surprisingly good on its own. INW biscuit kind of makes that profile, but the pyrazine will get you closer to that and still be good. You lack a straight cream which also helps the profile, but again this works well enough by all means!
From there you can go for a lemmony, limey, or fruity variant easily.
I never use sweeteners as I find them offensive tasting, but feel free to sweeten to taste. I recommend adding the sweetener after everything else in small amounts, but you know yourself better. I'd personally sweeten this recipe using a little more toasted marshmallow, strawberry ripe (has ethyl maltol, a sweetener in its composition), or possibly maple syrup. Since you have 2 sweeteners I assume you like them and are better off via that approach for now.
Fruity variant add something like: Strawberry Ripe - 2% INW Dragon Fruit - .5% You could easily do blackberry instead of the strawberry here. The idea is to add a little depth to the base. The strawberry or blackberry act as the flavor you try to bring to the background, while the Pitya (dragon fruit) helps balance and potentiate that effect.
Limey: Key Lime - 2% Lemon Meringue Pie - 1% You could half those depending if you want it subtle given its a cannoli and especially if using sweetner.
Lemonny: Lemon Meringue Pie - 1% Lemonade - 1.5% Sweet mango could fit in here very nicely too if you wanted to get weird with it. I'd start without, but if you like the base it would fit in future mixes.
I am a big fan of lemon cannoli flavor vapes, but I use Lemon Sicily these days. The profile has a lot of potential in my eyes. You have a lot of options to play with for future variants. Mango, graham, maple, TFA custard, heavier on the ice cream, adding french vanilla if you want a little creamier/sweeter/vanilla prominent version etc. This profile overall is what you have the most room to experiment with based on your current stash. Start simple then tweak.
I'd make the base without sweetner and taste it. Decide if you want to try something more.
Anything with CAP vanilla custard benefits a lot from a few days steep and continues improving for weeks. Keep this in mind. It can have an odd taste for some off the mix. That goes away. Regardless, its flavor improves over time more than almost anything short of tobaccos and alcohols. That being said, I find its still perfectly tasty off the mix if its not a very high % usage. This is on the lower end. If you like custards and don't like steeping I recommend INW custard very highly. Its not necessarily the best custard, but it is probably the best for shake and vape purposes!
This should give you something to play around with as a means of learning mixing within somewhat set parameters. It helps to follow recipes, but playing around even early on is going to make it easier to tweak things to your tastes. The intent of going beyond a simple recipe is to show you your options and provide a bit of structured experimentation.
Don't be discouraged when playing around. The best advice is to start lower than you think is necessary. Sugar cookie and CAP custard are weird in the sense that they can and often are used both very high % and low %. Most flavors can't get away with that.
You have a surprisingly interesting starting set. There is a lot of potential for basic bakery and custard flavors. I bet you run out of Sugar Cookie and CAP custard quick. Probably Ice Cream too lol. Those are your strongest versatile base flavors. Even with 300+ flavors on hand I burn them quick.
That cannoli base sounds like something right up my alley, I tend to go for more custard/bakery liquids, especially during the winter months. I'll definitely be mixing that up and playing around with it.
What would you recommend for a straight cream based on that recipe?
The sweeteners were ordered to follow 2 recipes - a corn bread pudding and a custard - though for the past 2 years I've been mainly vaping some local (Canadian) juices that use little-to-no added sweetener. My approach to using them in those recipes was going to be as you suggesed; mix everything first and then add small amounts of the sweeteners. I'll even try a batch without them to see how they go.
I love lemon/lime flavour profiles, so I'll definitely be playing around with those in that cannoli base. Lemon Sicily is something I've been seeing a lot of on here, I'll have to add that to my next order.
I'd love to throw some blueberry into that mix, but nearly every commercial blueberry juice I've tried over the years felt like razor blades.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
For a straight up cream for this recipe and general purpose:
FA - fresh cream - this one is very simple. Tastes like cream or half and half, but lighter. In combination with other stuff you can make it do whatever without owning that many ingredients. Not the best at anything, but always good and useful.
Flv - cream - This is a heavier cream with stronger dairy flavor. Also versatile. Any use of beyond 1% is going to require steeping for most people due to sour taste from butyric. You will see this in lots of more recent recipes than FA fresh cream.
FA - Vienna cream - This is a sweet slightly spiced cream. Less versatile, and let me just stress that sweeter part. When it's good it's good. It's very good in cannoli style mixes. Does what some of the Bavarian cream flavors do and sometimes can substitute for them.
Honorable mention: TFA - Bavarian cream - this one is a major mainstay in early recipes. Used to be everywhere. It acts like TFA dragon fruit in recipes as a sweetener and homogonizes flavors. That effect can be useful or can lead to 'muting'. It's largely from the maltol. It's not a bad sweet spiced cream sort of flavor on its own either. Seen in a popular canolli recipe that is rather recent. Popularity has dropped off over the years. It was a flavor people said to get a 30+ml of when I started lol.
I have successfully used all those as part of the base in the last 3 months. Vienna fits the best, but FA fresh cream or FLV cream are more versatile early additions. Any of them are quite good.
I have tried to make good blueberry Vapes for some time. It's hard to pull off. Either had off notes, is too hard to pick up blueberry, or gets a bit washed out in conjunction with other stuff to make it 'pop'.
I actually mixed my best blueberry mix by far last night. Was very unintentional. Was going for a wonky 3-2-1 mix for fun while staring at my collection where I grab one flavor I want to use. Then I randomly select one. The third I use something to be able to tie 2 possibly disparate things together.
Wanted to use INW - blueberry. It's a decent blueberry. Lacks the sour or red fruit parts of a blueberry, but it is blueberry. I haven't found a better one. It's a cheatable flavor in that non blueberries can make it more blueberry.
Picked FLV - Sweet Coconut - Just an excellent sweet coconut water type flavor.
Used FA - Wine Champagne - to tie it together.
3% INW blueberry
2% FA Wine Champagne
1% FLV Sweet Coconut
Ended up being miles better than it has any right to be. A little FA liquid Amber adds the sour or fermented to any fruit really. Most red fruits could be used in conjunction. I will build off this experiment. Might finally have a great blueberry vape in a couple months. That 3-2-1 is surprisingly good though. Weird good.
FYI I personally get no harshness from INW blueberry, but I picked it up almost 3 years ago. INW reformulated a number of flavors after I purchased many of their products and I can't speak for many changed variations. Can't recall if blueberry was subject to reformulation.
5% LA Lemonade
.5% TFA Blackberry
.25% TFA key lime
Could really use some cooling...
Not really a fan of cooling, but then again I've only ever had it in commercial juice where I didn't have control over how much was used.
Might be something worth playing around with.
On the subject of cooling, I've seen a couple of recipes lately that called for both ws-23 and koolada. Aren't they essentially the same thing? Is there a benefit to mixing the two?
Well, koolada is WS-3. Different chemical, similar effect. Better than that mix is FA Polar Blast and WS-23. Polar Blass is WS-3+menthhyl lactate (so you get a third coolant). The fact is you can develop a resistance or tolerance to cooling. I was regularly using levels of cooling that anyone used to vaping anything without cooling would find painful. If I mix up anything with a bit much cooling now, I notice ot being uncomfortable for a puff or two, and within a hour if I don't vape something else, I'll barely notice any cooling (tolerance returns that quickly). Bit the point is, using multiple cooling agents allows using lower levels of each. It's when tou start usong lots of cooling that the tolerance builds. Also, WS-3 has serious off-taste. Lowerong tje amoumt of it used helps flavor in most cases.
Finally, not all cooling agents work identically. WS-23+FA Polar Blast does a sustained cooling from inhale thru exhale. Which is good because it's tough to trock the mind into thinking orange/purple Slushee when part of the experience (inhale or exhale) is more like herbal tea in temperature.

You have FA Fuji twice. It's also your best flavor.
Maybe try...:
1% TFA kiwi double
2% TFA pear
3% FA fuji
It'll be apple dominant. Which given your flavors is the best you can hope for.
