####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
CCI, FA Meringue, with FLV Cream. I'm still playing with %s but it's delicious testing
Please drop me some starting % and steep times 😭
All of these are worthwhile flavors imo, but here are my favorites, in descending order:
- #5 TPA Vanilla Cupcake is mostly frosting, not much cake, still worth having, delish!
- #4 LA CCI is one of LA's very few must haves, but this flavor is iconic
- #3 FLV Frosting was perfection in the mixes I tried it in
- #2 VTA Buttercream frosting is incredible w great mouthfeel, but I can get a weird waxy off-note sometimes- more testing needed as I could've used it too high. it's still good
- #1 WF Buttercream Frosting is my absolute favorite! perfect mouthfeel, great taste, even works well as a non-sweetener sweetener. I bought 60ml from River's sale but wouldn't hesitate to pay full price for this flavor. it's worth it
That’s a great list. I agree with your number 1. I am a huge fan of most creamy sweet flavors. Honestly I could vape them solo. WF buttercream frosting is no exception.
I do vape them solo ;) WF Buttercream Frosting is becoming a favorite of mine, it's SOOO good! I'm really looking forward to doing the sesame FOTW with you!
When I do these flavor reviews, I always have a custard premium on hand to treat myself between some of the less than tasty flavors.. (honey comes to mind 🤢). I’m looking forward to sesame with you too. That week we will outnumber the boys, you, Emily and me.. 😇 at least on screen, friction is behind the scenes. (I love that you’re a vet tech, I am a dog groomer. If I had a daughter, I’d want her to be just like you.)
SaschaAlexandra won the flavors this week, but wants them to go to you instead.
Carrot Cake !

I played around with one of Wayne's recipes, I like my version more. Ignore the description, CCI + greek yogurt makes a surprisingly good icing
Interested in looking at recipe but it’s hidden…
My bad, its not public haha
VT carrot cake 4%
OOO bread pudding 2%
LA cream cheese icing 1.5%
TFA greek yogurt 2.5%
FW sweetener .5%-.75%
I'm currently doing .75% sweetener but I'm going to try a bit lower next time, .25% wasn't enough for me, too dull and bready
The icing on the cake would be getting some free flavors from ya this week. :D
I think it would be a toss up between LA cci and VT buttercream frosting for my favorite. I’m really looking forward to the recipes you feature.
The ones I've got mixed for this are: Guinness Cake by Vynsyboy, Carrot Cake RY4 Deluxe Version by LonesomeRhodes, Cookie Ate Yo Waffles by FreshePies, 4321 Pop Tart by Tam Vapes, MlNikon’s Nanner & Nilla Cake, Strawberry Cake 3-2-1 by Emily, Dat Cookie by Silky, Pebbs Deeznuts by Sam, Butterscotch Krimpet by Daytime Frank, and Xmas Tree Cakes by Sam. Haven't tried any of them yet.
The sweeter the better for me when it comes to frosting/icing 😋 Yummmmmm 🤤
Edit: Reading all of these suggestions & recipes makes me wish that I could print this thread. So many Awesome ideas & helpful people 🌸🤗😻🌸
A recent recipe I mixed up and liked which uses two flavors for this weeks FOTW is: Carrot Cake #877
|Ingredient|%| |:-|:-| |Buttercream Frosting (SC) (WF)|1.50| |Carrot Cake (One Shot) (VTA)|5.00| |Cream Cheese Icing (LA)|1.00| |Liquid Stevia|0.50| |Pumpkin Pie (Nicotine River)|2.00| |Sweetener (Sucralose) (FW)|0.50|
Flavor total: 10.5%
I use NR Pumpkin Pie...I know... NR is dead :( this adds the proper "spice" note that is missing from VTA Carrot Cake for some reason, but all Carrot Cakes I have ate in this area (PA) have this spice with a cream cheese icing or buttercream frosting top. Maybe a touch of FA Nut Mix would also increase its accuracy. I like using a 50/50 of Stevia and FW Sweetener as this seems to push the sweetness into the cake and not dump sugar on top of the recipe.
The flavors I have that fit this week are:
Buttercream Frosting (SC) (WF) - My favorite of the bunch...
Vanilla frosting (Nicotine River) - Probably won't be covered, it's subpar anyway...
Cream Cheese Icing (LA) - Also amazing, has cheesecake notes.
Butter Cream (Cap) and Butter Cream (FW) - Pretty solid, I think the Cap is a better flavor, but the FW has better mouthfeel...
I can’t see the fun picture. Not saying that’s the best of this post but I always like your humor u/ID10-T
