And goddammit it’s good!Lol, according to the guy from FANA, their Butter is 50% diacetyl.

No worries! It’s a complicated topic of discussion full of opinions, facts and half truths. Either way, my recipe has diketones. It’s still, any day of the week, better than smoking. And it tastes soooooo gooooood.........I don't know what FANA has said about their decision not to sell those flavors in the U.S. To be honest, i can't imagine it's a decision they made themselves. It's an important enough decision that i assume their parent company in Italy signed off on it. Logic dictates that their concern is the FDA. Otherwise they wouldn't sell it anywhere, although they're still covering their ass by having the disclaimers on their site. There has been a lot of heated discussion on this topic in their Facebook page, but i don't do Facebook.
I don't think they're concerned about the diy market. They don't want the resellers to sell them, because they will have no control over whether they will eventually end up in commercial juice. DIY Vapor supplies went over their head and ordered directly from Flavourart Italy, and they got caught. They were warned that if they do it again, they will be removed from being an official re-seller.
Concern over diketones was not even on the FDA's radar in the early days. There were dozens and dozens of threads on ECF in the early days, and the overwhelming majority of vapors wanted their presence disclosed. Some wanted them removed altogether. Some flavor companies lied about removing them, and were caught when the juice was independently tested. To this day some vapers (including myself) won't buy from Flavor West for this reason. Fa has always been the most transparent flavor company and the first to publish results of their tests, and have opened up their facilities and labs to the general public. i commend them for this, and won't bash them because of a business decision they've made. It was only when the FDA started talking about regulations that there was a seachange in the vapers opinions. For better or worst, we did not want to concede anything to the FDA.
Apologies to @wildgypsy70 if the thread is being hijackedI think discussion should return to her recipe!
Yup, and thankfully we only need 0.5% or 1% in a recipe. It's not like those factory workers who were exposed to massive amounts of pure diacetyl, day in day out, for years on end.And goddammit it’s good!
This was discussed on reddit a few months back, the title of this post should give you a clue what happened LOLHas FANA ever publicly stated that they won't sell them in the US because they fear the gov't, or have they ever said it was to protect consumers? .
I read this....some funny stuff.This was discussed on reddit a few months back, the title of this post should give you a clue what happened LOL

Hey, I found some fa premium custard in my own state in my own country lol, couldn't believe itOh no! FYI, you can only get Premium from the UK. Possibly elsewhere, but not in the states. FA Custard may work in this, but give it a lemony undertone. INW would be the sub, along with butter of some ilk. There are definitely plenty of recipes with FAa Custard, though!
Yay! That’s awesome!Hey, I found some fa premium custard in my own state in my own country lol, couldn't believe it
Ha ha just can't put one thing in my cart holy crap up to sixty bucks for this custard lolYay! That’s awesome!
Lol! I completely understand. Can’t just order one flavor!!Ha ha just can't put one thing in my cart holy crap up to sixty bucks for this custard lol
Oh good! I’m excited to hear what you think of it!I just mixed some of this! I've been waiting for some time now.
Hi! I’m assuming it will. I’ve never experienced a sharp taste with this one. Anyone else wanna chime in? I know it needs a bit(7-10 days) steep, but even after a week, it’s good to go for me.Hey guys. Made this about a week ago. Getting a very sharp taste. Guessing it’s the custard premium. Any experience with this, will it eventually blend in with the honeycomb?

Lol! Maybe! This is one of the few that doesn’t last a weeks steep for me. About as close to an ADV as I get.I think it will be fine after a month. I think 4 weeks is minimum steep time for anything I mix.

I do not. Some people swear by them. I’m just a shake and let it sit kind of girl. I have so many experiments going that it’s easy to let something sit and steep the old fashioned way.Hi gypsy. Do you use a magnetic mixer. I am heavily contemplating the nitecore. I think it could help knock a week or so off my steeping time

Hey I know you post a lot here so I hope you don’t mind me asking...doesn’t someone here sell concentrates. Looking for some FA corn and don’t wanna have to order from chefs

Chef's is having a sale through tomorrow, 25% off which is pretty damn good. Enter BH25 in code.
@wllmc works at Bull City, but they don’t have FA Corn. Either Chefs or DIYVS in Canada has it, I think.Hey I know you post a lot here so I hope you don’t mind me asking...doesn’t someone here sell concentrates. Looking for some FA corn and don’t wanna have to order from chefs

It’s wonderful! Pick up Teddy Bear Custard while you’re there. My favorite of his! @Heartsdelight do you have others to suggest?How is it? Do u have a few you could recommend

Hmmmm.....maybe in the same football field. I’ve had Dunkaroos and I like TBC better. It’s richer and better balanced. Not quite as much cookie, much more custardy. Buttery, too!I remember seeing that was a fav or yours. I’m sure it’s awesome...but worried that it may be too close to dunkaroos...which I love. Have you happen to try dunkaroos and is teddy bear custard in the same ballpark?

I’ve made this a few times and let it steep 2 or 3 weeks the second time and found it to be quite smooth. I think it’s the honeycomb that needs some time to calm downHey guys.

I agree, they're quite different.
If you like the flavor profiles, off the top of my head the following were all really good : Gingersnap Milkshake, Italian Lemon Cream Soda, Sublime Key Lime, Jamoca Almond Fudge, Pirates Truffle, Blueberry Coconut Smoothie, Lemon Pudding Cake. There's a few more i really liked, but can't think of them right now!How is it? Do u have a few you could recommend

Just wondering how the WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream addition turn out?So, @Ishkabibble thinks this is yummy, so I figure I can share it. I’ve been vaping various variations of this for a few months now....I think it’s a good one. The only sub that might be necessary is the FA Custard Premium....I would go with INW Custard at the same percentage. And I have a TON of Custard Premium, so if you need one, pm me and I’ll send you one.
TFA Bavarian Cream 1%
FA Cookie 2%
VT Honeycomb 2%
Caps Sweet Cream 1%
FA Custard Premium 2.5%
Easy peasy. 1 week steep.
The Tahitian Edition...add 1.5% WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream. Thanks @Pegleg Meg for the idea. It’s steeping now.....
The Juicy edition.....add 1.5% FA Juicy Strawberry.
It actually worked out really well. Definitely worth trying. Gave it a creamy yumminess.....and who can argue with extra vanilla! It’s a great addition.Just wondering how the WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream addition turn out?

I hope you like it!Ok, got the VT honeycomb in the cart. I gotta try this recipe on!
I hope you like it!
Yay! I don’t have many ADV’s but this is one of them. Buttery, cookie goodness! I’m so happy you like it!!!Well I have been vaping this for two weeks. I’m obsessed. One of the best recipes I have made to date.

It was me! But I’m out now. If there’s enough interest, I’d do it again.....the unfortunate part is ordering direct from FA Italy. Takes forever and a bit pricey....and you can only get 10ml bottles. But from what I can tell, it’s the only place that has it.Just wanted to say thanks for posting this gypsy. Hey did I read somewhere that u bought a bunch of FA butter. Was that you? Not sure if you still had a good amount
