My starter list. Looking to make fruity creams but more of a French vanilla coffee mate creamer kinda taste rather then a custard. Should I add the fa peach or UN's think those three would still blend up well. Also couldn't find a a French vanilla recipe I could use to make a bulk batch of for just an easy base. Any thoughts on the strawberry/blueberry I just went through a bunch of recipes and jotted down the most used ones. Lemon was to try and make up a cosmic fog shocker clone was only able to find two recipes one of which a few said it wasn't quite right other had no comments.

Peach (Juicy) (TPA)
Vanilla Swirl (TPA)
French Vanilla Deluxe (TPA)
White Peach (FA)
Juicy Strawberry (FA)
Vienna Cream (FA)
Whipped Cream(TPA)
Sweet Strawberry (Cap)
Blueberry Extra (TPA)
Lemon Sicily (FA)
Peaches and Cream (Cap)
Blueberry (FW)

Personally I would skip the FA lemon and go for VT sour lemon and either SC or FE lemon. SC & FE are the same; SC can be found on BCF, the FE on ECX. The FA is notorious for fading and one that I will not reorder. VT is great for a juicy lemon, the sour takes a couple weeks to show up and isn't sour enough to give you a pucker. The SC/FE are bright long lasting candyish lemons.

No matter what you order you will always need more or something new. At least that is my experience.
That seems to be life in general tho, was just hoping these would be a good start to what I'm after. Thus it being a starter list and under consideration...

Don't care for apples, Watermelon, I tried a few in the past always turned out to candy like. Atm don't have much leeway for trial and error to play with a secondary preference. Simply after things I know I could adv for a few months.


to keep lemon from fading.. I found if you add only a few drops of lime helps :)
Not much.. if you are inputting the info to a calculator online, try .12% lime

Actually you actually might be better off skipping the lemon and get INW cactus. Adds juiciness to any flavor and will provide a bit of brightness. Keep it low, 0.5 or less. Try some at 2-4% for a tropical gum type of effect. One flavor that I'll always keep stocked up on. TFA dragon fruit is especially good with any berry and can be used low for juiciness and pop or higher just because it's so damn good paired with almost any fruit. Another indispensable flavor in my stash.

For creams you might want to add (LB) Vanilla Ice Cream and Hangsen Italian Cream. The VIC is just a flavor you might find yourself using a lot like so many others. The Italian cream is potent, 0.50% to 1% packs a punch. It is a thick cream but oh so tasty. I know you said you want a cream instead of a custard but CAP Vanilla Custard V1 makes a great base and not as custardy at 3% or below.

Do you like coconut? WF Coconut Custard is delicious and has an almost Pineapple sweetness to it. A great coconut is FLV Sweet Coconut.

For a peach consider getting INW Peach, just delicious and pairs well with FA White Peach. FLV Peach Gummy is also tasty, WF Peach Gummy is not as good as the FLV for my palate but it is good and less expensive.

I ended up pulling the cap peaches and cream adding inw peach. Cap sweet strawberry for inw shisha strawberry. I was looking at the coconuts, I'll put it on my list for my next order. Since this one is on its way it'll give me more time to go through recipes and not be so rushed to put something together.

Yeah it is, gotta stop myself from putting it into most mixes......yum. What is your preferred % to use it at? What other HS flavors are must haves? Just got there cream and caramel toffee but haven't used them yet.

I made up a mix with Italian cream, wf coconut custard and few other flavors I forget but those are the main flavors. Damn if they didn't mix well together, I need to mix more.

Great subs and keep in mind INW Peach is strong, FA white peach too. I usually use both at about a drop or 2 per 15ml or .07 to .14% but that is when mixing with other flavors like strawberry, too much and you won't taste the strawberry, only peach.

Shisha strawberry is good about 2 to 3% but can be pushed higher. One of the best sb out there, I like to mix it with RFSC strawberry.

Thanks for the tip. Started writing the notes from elc regarding each flavor last night. Wrote down .75-1% for the peaches. Was going to drop them in the Juicy peach 4% a .5 of both the others maybe drop it down to .25% now. Was going to really wait until i goth them in to smell um n make up a few mls of stand alone for testing. I'm sure it'll all be better then my last go it was always just a lazy mix up of vanilla swirl and Juicy peach...

Italian cream is nice with pears and sweeter apples, just mixed some with some lemon the other day so not sure with citrus' yet. I have a cream base I mixed using it, I'll try to remember to post it later. I also like it with berry cheesecake and trying it out with FW yogurt. I tend to use it from 0.3-1,7%. The HS caramel toffee is good, not too sweet, but imo needs help from a caramel or butterscotch; works well with WF caramel butter ans italian cream for a rich dessert base like butter pecan cheesecake or ice cream sundae. I also try not to use it too much, for a while all but my citrus had the italian cream. Do want to take a run at a grapefruit cream with it as well. I'm liking HS lemon so far and HS cream is my favorite plain cream. Has more body than FA fresh for me. I pif'd the HS blueberry, just couldn't find a happy place with it but many seem to like it. Just started playing with the green orange, sft was nice but it needs some thing to make it pop. Mixed up a honeysuckle orange with it yesterday. IIRC I used the green orange, FA orange low, and TFA orange cream. Wanting to give it a long steep.

The only problem I have with italian cream is that it is kind of dry. It needs something to moisten it up. I guess the strawberries would do that. I bought a 30ml of it and I will never use all of it since it is used at such a low %.


Peach (Juicy) (TPA)
Vanilla Swirl (TPA)
French Vanilla Deluxe (TPA)
White Peach (FA)
Juicy Strawberry (FA)
Vienna Cream (FA)
Whipped Cream(TPA)
Sweet Strawberry (Cap)
Blueberry Extra (TPA)
Lemon Sicily (FA)
Peaches and Cream (Cap)
Blueberry (FW)

I think this is a solid starting place. I have and use every one of these flavors except for 3 of your tpa offerings. I think for lemon definitely go VTA Sour Lemon. It is the only flavor I have found that actually gives me a bit of a sour note. It goes really good with some blueberry fw and some raspberry (berryl) FA to make a sour blue raz. Vienna cream is great for adding body and creaminess. I would substitute TPA Whipped cream for either FA Marshmallow or FLV Whipped Cream or even my favorite offering DIY Flavor Shack Mr. Good Stuff. Honestly, I just bought some flavors after researching what I thought I would like and it worked out just fine. Go with your gut, especially if you aren't too worried about money. You will learn some valuable lessons from making mistakes.

Sweet! I’ll start putting together a list. And I’ll look thru my recipes to find a mixed berry one.

If you were looking for a mixed berry blend in one flavor, the FA Forest Mix in Sully's Sweet Berry Mash (above) is nice. It's a bunch of dark berries. If I remember right, blackberry, blackcurrant, bilberry, strawberry... maybe something else I'm forgetting? You can do a lot with this one and there are some very good notes for it written by HIC somewhere around here on VU. Does anyone have that link?

I saw you said you were taking flavor notes from ecx? It's so worth it to get on https://e-liquid-recipes.com and access the user-created database of notes. You can go to https://e-liquid-recipes.com/flavors, type in the name of the flavor you want to look at and then you'll come to a page with notes amassed for the flavor as well as a list of flavors it is most often used with and all the public recipes there that use it.

Alright....I didn’t go over the whole thread so forgive me if there’s duplicates.

FA Bilberry.....this will boost your blueberry. Use it low...under 1%.

FLV Cream....I use this stuff constantly. Good basic cream.

INW Shisha Strawberry and Vanilla.....sweet, syrupy strawberry. Good for layering with another strawberry. Shisha Vanilla is a wonderful basic vanilla that gets used a ton. Has a very, slight puddingish note.

MB Big Watermelon....yummy, sweet candyish watermelon, but not like Jolly Rancher candyish.

FA Forest Fruit.....well balanced mixed fruit. Can be bent to red or blue berries.

FE/SC Lemon.....good to boost fading lemons.

JF Honey Peach.....I love this peach.

Cap NY Cheesecake....used low can boost creams. Will have a slight Bakery note, but that can also thicken creams.

OoO Cream(milk undertones).....another good Cream, but not as thick as FLV.

FA Red Touch(strawberry)....pairs very well with FA Juicy Strawberry.

LB Vanilla Ice Cream.....up high is ice cream, low is more like melty creamy ice cream.

FA Bavarian Cream....my favorite Bavarian these days. Nice, thick, rich, vanilla cream.

Phew! That’s all for now. I’ll add more tonight!

Pretty much agree with everything gypsy said. I'd like to recommend these as well:

Cap Vanilla Cupcake - versatile cakey flavor, without going full bakery. Goes well with more than you'd think.

TFA dragonfruit - Fantastic exotic fruit flavor, will work with damn near anything. Is an especially nice combo with strawberry or peach.
