Long live Mary Jane!
My ADV is a lavender blend but it's store bought. I've been looking at the Lavender flavoring but am afraid to get it. I'm afraid it will be like vaping potpourri again. The other lavender juice I had tastes like that and I didn't really care for it. I have lavender buds.... Maybe I should attempt my own extract.
@Monica_Rae, if you like the creams, you'll be happy with those. The FA Vanillas are awesome! And the fruits! I never much cared for vaping fruits until I got in FA flavors.

Yep I'm the one & the same. That's pretty funny you guys got banned. To be honest I find people don't handle difference of opinions to well over there.
Thanks for the info on the other vendors I'd rather stick with the smaller sizes for now and go from there. OK I'm off to check out the links you guys provided

I used to love AIV's Lavender Ever After! I keep meaning to order FA's Lavendar. I'm sure with the right mix it will be fine (fairly sure LOL)
It's not bad. Needs some Walnut I think.
EDIT
Not quite what I want, gonna use Nut Mix later and adjust percentages.

I'm an ry4 freak. Love, love, love the stuff. FA's Vienna, Catalan, and Vanilla Original are excellent. Do you have TFA's RY4 Double and AP? Those are essential too. I'm still on a quest for the perfect caramel.Yep I'm the one & the same. That's pretty funny you guys got banned. To be honest I find people don't handle difference of opinions to well over there.

With cantelope and a touch of raspberry and citrus mixI worked. What is amazing is that over half the staff called in sick. Imagine that! On Christmas those people were so sick.
Anyone ever try Flavorart Watermelon? If so, did you like it by itself or with another flavor?

it might be to late but here is an all FA RY4. ill swap out catalan and vienna or just add both from time to time. http://vapingunderground.com/threads/wllmcs-ry4-all-fa.2395/
Happy Sunday eveyone.
Ditto. I love that one, too. You're right, it doesn't get much praise. I used to use the hell out of that one. I picked it up the other night from my flavors box and asked mysef why I haven't been.
If you find them I wanna know, too!

I love nut-brittle. Definitely nuts and caramels...wonder what could be used as a great substitute for butter. I'd even add a touch of vanilla.
Nuts and.... something, creates a buttery note. Was it coconut? Used low enough you don't taste coconut. Who remembers?? Help. I know HIC knows.
Wasn't it walnut?
I think it was, Amanda. Thank you!
@HeadInClouds ' HOMEVAPE PEANUT BUTTER (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-homevape-peanut-butter-no-custard-note-ingredients.4807/) might be a good starting point. Now, what to play with to create brittle...
I just bought some (real) Spanish turron, as opposed to Italian torrone, as opposed to American nougat. This spanish stuff is definitely nut brittle. It looks just like a nut brittle: clear coating holding together wads of nuts. It contains almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, egg whites, and honey. FA's version of (Italian) torrone is the flavor of almond, egg whites, honey and arguably a little citrus. If citrus is there, it's easily covered.
I'd begin with FA Nut Mix and add small amounts of FA Torrone, try it, then try adding a little FA Butterscotch. Butterscotch includes butteriness, sweetness, and a flavor that "belongs" in brittle, in my opinion. If that's not sweet enough, some acetyl pyrazine (half or quarter as much as butterscotch) will fix that in a snap.
If I were looking to do it the easy way and didn't mind vaping diacetyl, I'd definitely use some FA Butter (1.5% diacetyl and inhalation warning there), but would still have those other flavors in there first.

I remember eating turron when playing Vigo and Barcelona. You're right, HIC. It was nut brittle the way Europeans would make it! Thanks again, sir.

For butter, I use equal, low amounts of FA Coconut and FA Walnut. This is in addition to any walnut or coconut called for in the recipe. It worked well for buttered popcorn.
I think that's not melted through. I think that's the "ripped cap" thing a few people have had happen with the bottles ecx is using. I don't know where that thread was, but I don't think it was discussed in this thread. I had a bottle of FA Caramel do exactly that. Crappy bottle - I lost a lot of the contents.

I just checked mine. It is in an amber bottle though, if that makes a difference, and it is fine. It came from Ecig express. I did have a bottle of BurleyTobacco from them that cracked. So far I have had no problems from E- liquid Mart.
My caramel did that too. Only happened the other night, though. I've had it for months!

oooooooooohhh I got it. I didnt inspect it that well - just assumed it melted thru. I'll transfer it into a clean 10ml bottle
thanks for the input!
So my attempts at nut brittle landed here:
3% Nut Mix
1% Torrone
1% Caramel (Out of 70 new flavorings, Butterscotch is not one of them.)
.5% Walnut
.5% Coconut
.5% AP
Shake & Vape:
It's good but definitely not a brittle; a rich, nutty, nougaty vape.
I'll let it rest overnight and see what happens.

Good recipe. I mixed a 6ml batch and I like it. Then i added 1% butterscotch and did't taste much change. I still like it
After resting overnight, this is a rich, buttery, nutty vape; lightly sweet, but not going to satisfy a sweet tooth. It's good but not brittle.
If anyone can improve upon it, please share...
If you want it sweeter, maybe add a little TFA Brown Sugar Extra?

Thank you Huckleberried. But it does. Seriously. I hate to admit it here, but I am addicted to cookie in much larger percentages that are best not spoken about in polite company.You are my new cookie friend

If the goal is to avoid "custard note" ingredients by using FA flavors, know that TFA English Toffee includes both acetoin and acetyl propionyl.
http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/componentlist.aspx?sku_search=342819
If that's no issue, then TFA Butter (inhalation warning, 1.5% diacetyl) would do it better.
I'm talking to them, HIC. I'm just not sure I understand what they're saying. Do I need to learn Italian?
The highest I ever used cookie was 2.5%. I do love it, but my usual is 2 or less. Depends in the effect I'm going for I suppose, too.

Torrone , Meringue, and Cookie are the only ten ml bottles of FA Flavor I have purchase twice, so I guess I use them fairly often or at high percentages. My first use of FA Cookie was 11/16/14 in Hic's Almond Roca at 3%. I believe I doubled the recipe. It really opened my eyes to what Cookie could do. Since then the percentages go 1, 1.5, .5, 3, 2, 2, 3, , 2.5, 2, 1, 4, 4,and 3. These are just the recipes I consider somewhat good. I tried it up to 10% just because, and found no need to go higher than 4 or 5. It kind of tops off a 5% As you can see I am fairly new to Flavour Arts flavors. So take my recommendations with a grain of salt.Doubling the Torrone sounds interesting. But I like the up-front nut flavor.
What starting percentage do people like with TFA Brown Sugar Extra?
Adding Cookie would make this better than any Girl Scout cookie, that's for sure.
Torrone works works the same for me. Though I just tried it a few weeks ago. I use it in the 3-6 percent range. It adds a lot of body without the sweet and does not detract from nuts at all that I can tell. I looking forward to what you come up with.
Oh, and Meringue adds sweetness ant no cost I can see.

HIC,
Thanks for the response! I do have a couple of comments; My understanding is that while FA's Butter actually had diacetyl, ( I moved my FA Butter to the kitchen to make kickass popcorn) I believe the TFA butter doesn't have diacetyl but it like English Toffee has Acetoin and aceltyl propionyl which I realize are to be avoided.
I try to avoid all those but only if I can do it and still maintain as good of experience!
I am 71 years old and don't have a record of doing the safe thing! Up until 6 months ago I was inhaling a pack and a half of cigarette sized cigars a day, I ride motorcycles at over 150 mph, I build and fly experimental airplanes! I'm not advocating anything for others but for me there would probably be more important risk reduction steps than eliminating a little Acetoin and aceltyl propionyl!
