Plus 1 ^^^^ Great site to get glass bottles from. I get 30's and 120's ( 1oz and 4 oz) there. You can choose caps or droppers or no caps at all. RP has to remind me where I get these from every few months.. ( bad memory) I use to order from amazon or ebay, they this place is better.

I still get my plastic from ebay via china. So cheap for 10 and 30ml dropper bottles. I pay 7 bucks for 50 of the 10 ml plastic dropper bottles.
Dana, that is what I've always done. @HeadInClouds is quite specific as he writes up his recipes..for example explaining how to dilute fa honey. Never once has he mentioned dilution, only where to purchase. I know that people @Huckleberried have have had issues using it with nicotine that is not from vaporstek...getting a frito or burnt taste. And some flavors certain people just don't tolerate well. This is the first time I have seen @Dixie1954 chart. But I do believe that when a recipe with acetyl pyrazine is posted it is not diluted. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You are correct Daintanee. Use it straight from the bottle as the recipie states. If someone does it any other way, they are way above my pay grade.
I just tried this recipie from one of Jasons (cramptholomew) concoctions. Its pretty damn good. Very simple. Very nice.

I use the dilution as it is sold by TFA - I don't make a further dilution of it before measuring (as I do with some other flavors).
Some people really can't stand it, no matter what.
The best test in my opinion is this recipe: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-toblerone-chocolate-bar.23656/ . If you are still gagging at acetyl pyrazine using 1.5% (right out of the bottle) in that recipe - you may as well just give up ever getting any use from it. Even if it doesn't work for you in Swiss Bliss, try Toblerone before you totally throw in the towel.

Happy Bday Daintanee!!
Love love LOVE Vapemail! Got my first order of FA flavors today, was actually the second order but USPS beat UPS by several days from the Carolinas. Didn't have but 20 in this order, but whipped up a cherry coke. From reading through all the thread I thought HICs recipes might not be strong enough for my wore out taste buds but his cherry coke was perfect for an ADV
Mmmmm... Your Toblerone and Swiss Bliss are so bad ass.
Your so lucky. You get to discover all those great flavors. Heck yeah !!!
I know Im preaching to the choir here, but for all of you out there that only read these post and never jump in here, Shake your flavors before you use them....every time. So important with some flavors.
Yeah, Birthday Girl - make one where it's ginger ale first. Then one bakery type. That way you'll see how it goes from fresh and snappy to warm and spicy, and you'll be inspired to make all kinds of new stuff.
YES! Even the perfectly clear flavors, like Apricot and Strawberry.
I got stung by that myself recently. I just couldn't taste Apricot. 2%...3%...4%...why can't I taste - oh, oooops. And it took some vigorous shaking, too. That bottle had been untouched for a couple of months. I think the PG was just floating on top, though you can't see the layers with that one.
Maybe that's the problem I've always had with Apricot? I have a fairly new, untouched bottle, so I'll try that one (original was from RTS).

Happy Birthday Daintanee! I think you need a Birthday Cake Vape. I'm working on it... maybe I'll figure one out by next year.Wishing you the best anyway.
Happy Birthday, Daintanee!! All the best to you on your special day
Please let us know what you make with that ginger!@caddisfly Yes! We need a birthday cake vape, but before next year. My birthday is in October, so will that give you enough time?
OH I'm so sorry to have confused people. My post is for the ones who have trouble using AP right out of the bottle. I should have made myself clear. But that chart I listed was for everyone since it shows tank crackers also Happy Happy Birthday Daintanee

Daintaneeeeeeeeee!!!! Happy Birthday, lady!! I hope you had the best day ever.
Yes, my issues with AP are with any nic I've tried, so far. So my issue with AP is me, sadly. I did make a dilution of the same kind all of you have from TFA. Cramptholomew suggested that to me. I'm GOING to get those chocolate candies one way or another. You hear me, AP??

This, plus 1-2 drops menthol per 10ml is a great start...

We recently ordered some Vienna Cream directly from FA in Italy and are a bit concerned with the chemically smell it has. We have both been test smelling this flavor for several days and are both in agreeance on this. There is no hint of a caramel or a vanilla in it and it could almost be described as a nail polish remover smell. We didn't notice this smell with the 3ml sample bottle we received from a local ecig flavor supplier awhile back.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Could this be due to the freshness of the mix?
What does this flavor smell like to others?
Thnxx

Sometimes freshly mixed flavorings also need some time to steep.
Although if it took a month to get it from Italy that shouldn't be the problem.
You could always try venting it with the lid and cap off for 24 hrs, it might help.
The fragrance of my bottle has that unusual fragrance, too. It did when I got it, still does. I've not had any problems with the flavor, though.
When I first tried it standalone, I couldn't figure out the taste, but then I found myself returning to it all day, lol. I use it in a lot of mixes anywhere from 0.5% up to 2%. When I want a vanilla in a mix, that's just a bit more... creamy? refined?, over a plain vanilla, I go for this one. In the recipes section, it's also used in a lot of mixes with vanilla classic. Ymmv, but I hope that helps a bit.

Vienna Cream does indeed smell like nail polish from the bottle, but it doesnt taste like it smells. Its one of my more common "go to" flavors.

Heabob, Huckleberried, HGAHaze and Thunderball... appreciate your responses. It's reassuring to know others have had the same experience with the smell.
I've opened the bottle to air it out for 24 hours and will shake it vigorously next time it goes into use.
Cheers

If you are going to test how a juice taste with a sub ohm set up remember that most people using the new sub tanks are vaping at hire wattage, I know I vape my orchid with a .5 coil between 28 and 40 watts depending on the juice that I am using and I vape at lower wattage then a lot of sub ohm users. Someone using a .5 ohm build on a mech mod would be at 35 watts with a full 18650 battery and about 27 watts for most of the battery life.Hi Daintanee. I have 2 dripping atomizers I use for testing. An Atomic built with 28g wire at 1.4 ohms, and a Venturi built with 24g wire at .6 ohms. Both are know for their superior flavor production. These are on a Sigelei 100 and 150 respectively. The only conclusion I can draw when testing side by side is that the warmer vape (the subohm) seems to have noticeably better flavor with the juice I tested. I tested both at 18 watts and also switched boxes. It still holds.
That was one juice containing maple syrup, custard, cake batter, and caramel. With other juices I don't know what will happen as this is the first time I did a side by side with both atomizers. If I find any big differences with other juices I'll let you know.
Not much to go on, I know. I believe Smoky Blue is right and you are going to have to find out for yourself.
Edit. I didn't answer your question, did I? I'll try. I understand that some flavors don't do well or burn at high temps. I believe HIC said that happens to FA cocoa. I also know from the commons here and on Vapors TV that cloud chasers often use toned down juices so that the flavor hit isn't too much for them. Less flavor required? I suppose. Well, that didn't help much either.

Question? Was going to make HICs middle of mounds but don't have sucralose. Not familiar with it as a sweetener, will EM or stevia work?
I've never used sucralose, but I occasionally use organic liquid Stevia. Don't see why it wouldn't work for this recipe. Just be careful, though, as a little goes a looooooong way. I usually put a tiny bit on the end of a toothpick and swirl it in and just add more if needed. EM may work OK, but I think I'd try the Stevia first. Let us know how it works out, as I don't have any sucralose, either, and Middle of Mounds sounds yummy!
I may be missing something here, but I don't recall @HeadInClouds ever using a sweetener in a recipe?
Yes, EM can work as a sweetener but it also imparts some flavor; it is commonly used in place of cotton candy flavoring. I would try it at the recommended % specified for sucralose or perhaps a little less.
I've never used stevia myself but I have heard of others using it. I think it requires some dilution however if I'm not mistaken.

What you say is true. What I left out is I am developing the recipes for use in a tank at 1-1.5 ohm. That setup (an Orchard and a Billow) I carry around with me when I go to work. I crank up the wattage on the .5 build occasionally to make sure that nothing odd goes on with the juice. I also have a Mutation X built at .3 ohms that sees regular use at home, but, mostly I like the 18 watt level for deciding on flavors and amounts.
You're right though, the flavor is definitely affected by the higher wattage.
To me it seems like most flavors have a sweet spot. One of my ADV is a Castle long clone that I cannot use for sub ohm builds. I will say that most of the FA recipes seem to do better at a wider range of power. Guessing this is from the lower amount of flavors used.

I got my first Mama J's orders today. Everything arrived in good shape. I ordered late Monday and it is here on Thursday. That is great time. I love the bottles they come in. I've been buying the same bottles empty for my juices and i know they aren't cheap. Thank you Mama J's.
He did at least once
No way - show me! LOL
ssshhh...we all have a skeleton in the closet. There were a few times I couldn't find a way around sweeteners.
I remember that, trying to get FA or any other coconut to actually taste as sweet as the bagged, shredded, sweetened stuff. I could get it with sucraslose-based sweeteners (@vegaslineman - like this stuff: http://www.bullcityvapor.com/search.php?search_query=sweetener&x=0&y=0 ) but most people don't care for the aftertaste. These days, I'd use other sweeter flavorings instead (like in Girl Scout Samoas). Sticking with only FA, I'd rely on Marshmallow plus Meringue. In all cases, clean nic and high VG lend a hand.

1 drop of stevia in a 10ml mix worked well

Did you mix that yourself or can you buy it somewhere? I thought I read somewhere on here that you can mix your own, but can't seem to find the thread....
LOL I stand corrected! I thought I'd made every one of HICs recipes, but I must have missed this one

I like to mention another perfect transaction with www.mamaj'sjuice.com. I ordered on at around 2am monday morning, my package was in the mail later that morning, and was at my doorstep three days later.
I messed up my order, they caught it and fixed it, that late at night. Freakin awesome.
I messed up my order, they caught it and fixed it, that late at night. Freakin awesome.
I know I posted something earlier this evening but I should have introduced myself. I have been vaping for about 3 months. Unlike most vapers I was not really a smoker before I started. My wife was using an Ego and I was spending a lot of time on my computer and was thinking about getting some cigars to enjoy on my late night gaming sessions but my computer is in the bedroom and did not want to stick the room and everything else. So went to local B and M and bought a mech mod and a dripper ( not exactly the recommended starter set up. I soon switched primarily from dripping to using an Orchid tank. I have found that my sub ohm build is drinking the juice at a much faster rate then my wifes e go and pro tank setups. So I began looking into DIY. I have been reading through this thread. I did not start at the beginning but have read the last month or so and I am amazed by the people on this forum thread. I cannot believe the knowledge that so many of you share so freely with new members. Vaping Underground as a whole has such a better tone to it then any of the other forums I have read. My wife finally said to me today, I thing you better get the stuff to start making us e liquids at home, so I am going to dive in and enjoy this exciting new part of the vape community and experience. Without the post of so many of you I would not feel so comfortable moning forward.
Welcome! There's a ton of information in this thread, as you've already found, along with some great recipes!
