I am so jealous! My Sweet Woodruff is still in transit and I can hardly wait.
I will be looking forward to your comments tomorrow evening.
And, I'm jealous because mine arrived Monday right before I left for a camping trip for a week. I won't get to mix it until Sunday night, at the earliest!!! I look forward to reading everyone's comments, though!
what brand did you use? I saw one by German Flavors but don't have it.
I used TFA because they show no diketones (http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/componentlist.aspx?sku_search=348733) but I wouldn't be surprised if other brands also contain none.

I got that one too! I'm buying HIC's Vanilla Silk Pudding recipe. It's more than double the strength of the TFA version {max 2% (JF) vs 5% (TFA)}. Just curious, did you use it on Vanilla Silk Pudding too and did you go the full percentage for Sweet Woodruff concentrate?
New today at HIC's Mixes : 5 Fruit Teas
"Set of 5 fruit tea recipes: Peach Tea, Mojito Matcha, Raspberry Moroccan Mint, Earl Grey Lemonade, and Tropical Sun Tea. All were inspired by fruity iced teas. All these recipes require FlavourArt flavorings; some also require Green Tea by The Flavor Apprentice."
When I made some (actual) Earl Grey lemonade, I had to have that flavor to vape. I couldn't stop there.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy for more tea recipes! Looks like I'll be able to mix this one soon!

If you like (real) green tea, you could use TFA Green Tea. But there isn't really another flavor like FA Black Tea.
I love green tea and will try when reach home. Yesterday I placed order from Mamajs' but they don't carry Black Tea or even Honey (at least I never found there). Thanks HIC
Yeah, I've tried to order concentrates from Mama J's to support them due to them supporting HIC, but right now they seem to be out of a lot of concentrates or just don't have them (I wanted the NF Ginger and licorice that were in a few of the recipes this week). Then I found them somewhere else.
I do have to say with the one order I placed for HIC's premixed flavors they were quick to ship........just wish they had more and in stock. I like supporting the littler companies.
(at least) flavors from them 
and they are great
Since tonight is an astronomical blue moon, I was inspired to try the original Blue Moon cocktail as vape. It seems especially appropriate since I eat/drink/vape floral flavors "once in blue moon" (probably even less often). The cocktail uses 2 oz of fairly dry gin, 1/2 oz of lemon juice, 1/2 oz of Crème de Violette. I've never tasted Crème de Violette, but based on online descriptions it's purple, not very sweet, not very boozy - but very floral. So I'm vaping this (as a shake and vape):
3% FA Gin
2% FA Lemon Sicily
2% FA Violet
Lemon Sicily and Gin are a great pair, but I rarely use that much Gin. The sharp notes of Gin come through, but it's not as boozy as you'd expect. Floral vapes make me nervous, so I began with much less Violet. I had to inch up to 2% for flavor that vapes like Blue Moon cocktails are described. Not very sweet, definite gin flavor with citrus, and definite green/floral flavor of violet petals. Yep. Now I know what the cocktail tastes like.
If you already have those flavors, tonight's the time to try it. Just a small batch, unless you already know you like vaping petals. lol

@HeadInClouds How do you know that my Gin is finished
? and this flavor you don't use a lot so I didn't order the new one; This is not fair But I have Whiskey, Champagne, Jamaican Rum what could be sub for this missing GIN
@HeadInClouds How do you know that my Gin is finished
Hey, I saw one recipe for a Blue Moon cocktail that used a dry champagne instead. So you could try that with 3%.
If you do, good luck and happy blue moon
(I am not a floral fan, but I will finish my little batch before the blue moon ends)
I never tired either but let's seeHey, I saw one recipe for a Blue Moon cocktail that used a dry champagne instead. So you could try that with 3%.

. Thanks for the quick reply HIC; You are really good as like all of us 
I click the notify me when back in stock bottom. Usually when the flavor comes back in the rest are restocked and one by one are slowly entered into the system. I usually wait bc I love the top notch bottles they use and are perfect for mixing small amounts using the drop method. I forgot to send you your tracking #, must look through my receipts, but you should have tea soon, but not in a mamaj bottle
Vanilla Silk Pudding 1st mix 50/50: 2nd mix about 80/20 due to nicotine base in pg. Both very creamy, silky smooth. 2nd version is slightly sweeter. I noticed it is even creamed and smoother on day #2 than day #1 and the sweet woodruff is blended in better. The sweet woodruff has a slightly stronger taste or is harsher or less blended into mix on day #1. Both are the silkiest, sexiest vanillas I have ever tasted. The higher vg is slightly sweeter. Surprisingly this sourpuss prefers the high vg. version.
P.s. this was tested with a sore throat.

Mama J's does have NF Ginger in stock right now. It's listed under "other favors" as "The Ginger". That throws a lot of people off because it's not labelled as NF.
@Daintanee I am still waiting for some of my flavors so cant try my self but thanks so much for your feedback. I really proud of my self to be the part of this great community where people like @HeadInClouds, you, @Teresa P , @misswish and and and list go on on .... (I cant write name of everyone) so amazing thanks a lot for sharing your feedback everybody .

Oh no...I just meant I ordered from them too...I use Bull City a lot ..but sometimes they are sold out and I hate to place my order and then they say it's in...so having Mamaj's came in handy ... I did get my flavors for my Vanilla Silk Pudding!@debb22 Oh please don't take us wrong we love mamajs and their shipping packaging and customer service is excellent but unfortunately they didn't have Black tea or a honey But no problem. I bought 95+(at least) flavors from them
and they are great

Yep, but they were out when I went to order that and the licorice that were needed for HIC's Gingerbread and Gingered Peaches and Cream recipes. I did get the notice of it being back in stock yesterday but had already ordered it.Mama J's does have NF Ginger in stock right now. It's listed under "other favors" as "The Ginger". That throws a lot of people off because it's not labelled as NF.
Like I said, I really love ordering from them as their shipping was AWESOME..... But I like to get most of my concentrates from one place and if they are out (I'm so impatient to wait) that I'll find it somewhere else. Again, not a knock, as I try to go there first.

No worries on the tracking. I'm betting it will be delivered on Monday with all of our other mail. Thanks again!

Think creamy apple pie with fresh peaches sliced over it drizzled in carmel with cinnamon.

Oh, it wasn't a knock at all, sometimes I have to do the same thing. But thought maybe you - as a few others - didn't know that his ginger was actually NF. And that maybe that was the reason you didn't get it....Yep, but they were out when I went to order that and the licorice that were needed for HIC's Gingerbread and Gingered Peaches and Cream recipes. I did get the notice of it being back in stock yesterday but had already ordered it.

Aha! Had to have this one and three more - I finally get a day to myself tomorrow and I've got a LOT of mixing to do!
Mix Lemon Pudding Cake first, to vape while mixing the rest.
I did the same, Teresa!!! Of course, that meant adding two more concentrates for my next order.... Lol. And, now that I'm home.... Maybe I'll have some time to do some mixing, too!Aha! Had to have this one and three more - I finally get a day to myself tomorrow and I've got a LOT of mixing to do!

I'm highly perturbed with myself.....I got the Peach Cider Pie and had already gotten it over a month ago....too much work, too many tourists, and definitely too much blonde....
It is supposed to warn you of that! PM me the email address you used and I will refund the second copy. (found it, so I refunded the second purchase)

Aw! That's so sweet of you! You shouldn't have to pay for my oversight though, so I'll probably get right back in there and get another that I don't have (after checking my documents in the computer this time....LOL!) Thank you very much!

HeadInClouds, really glad you put your site together. So far I have made only two of your recipes and they are incredible. Yesterday I put my third order in for more FA flavorings. I have been doing DIY for about 6 months now using TFA flavors and have had far too many mixes that got poured down the drain. One question I haven't found answered anywhere, are any of the FA liquids tank crackers?
