Still vaping yellow peach milkshake 3 weeks after first mixing.ridiculously delicious
Love Gingersnap Milkshake too. Haven't tried Pumpkin Pie, missing NF Pumpkin Pie and not putting a flavor order soon. Will put in an order closer to Thanksgiving probably.
I've been vaping a lot of Jamoca Almond Fudge recently. It's become the closest I have to an ADV.
I just recently made Pumpkin Pie again, like you said tis the season!
Tis the season — mixed Pumpkin Pie and Gingersnap Milkshake. After a two day steep, I am enjoying Pumpkin Pie once again. Gingersnap I like with a little longer steep. Two of my favs from HIC’s Mixes and it couldn’t get better.
I hear you — i’ve cut back on ordering new flavors too. Mixed Lime Coolers this summer and the juice was bad so suspect at least 1, possibly 2 or 3 of the flavors went bad. At that point I had the flavors for less than a year. Now before I order new flavors I make sure I have at a minimum at least two recipes that use the flavor. If not, I don’t buy it unless it is a super-duper recipe.
I am not much of a chocolate vapor however it is always on my mind to try it. Presume this is a HIC's recipe.

Yes it's a HIC recipe. I wouldn't think of it as a chocolate vape per se, even though it has chocolate. It's not dry like most chocolate vapes, znd no off tastes either. It's just a smooth, delicious vape, and easy to vape, hours on end. Give it a try!
Hic’s recipe Peanut Butter Granola (I think that was the name of it) he used TFA Peanut Butter.
I've had little luck with FA Peanut, which has a sour note & earthy side I just can't work with. It's sure not peanut butter to me. If you like southern-style boiled peanuts, you might find more use for it than I have.
Thank you both for your input.
I did try TFA Peanut Butter DX which supposedly is the best PB based on a video I watched. Unfortunately for me my taste senses mutes any flavor that was Ethyl Maltol plus others and this is in both versions of TFA PB On occasion I keep trying a TFA flavoring in case my taste senses changes however at this point it is doubtful.
I have had boiled peanuts that had a spice in it but not southern style. Regardless I feel boiling peanuts sucks the peanut flavor out so I can see where FA Peanut would not make a good peanut butter.

I found that if you coat that FA Peanut with TFA Kettle Corn and INW Sesame Sweets those peanuts turn into toasted candied peanuts.
I still use a syringe.
Me too! I got the tropical mix package from Nic River and they are mixing by weight. I just mixed a 60 ml batch using my wife's kitchen scale but I'd rather have a separate scale for mixing.
The one I and a lot of people use can be found on Amazon using "American Weigh Scales LB-501" for your keyword search.
Digital Scale 500g x 0.01g for Precision Weighing & Counting - USB Wall Adapter
Copy and paste that into ebay. That's what I have. It's the one Teresa uses, too. My original one was smaller, but the buttons didn't last for me.
Forgot that ebay links don't work right.

This is my old reliable....
I bought an almighty LB-501, thinking I might be missing something since all the "cool kids" have one, but no. I went right back to the ever-dependable, ever-accurate, ever-reliable, generic eBay scale. I have one just like it stuck back on standby, but this puppy has served me well for over three years. There's tape over a couple of cracked buttons, but she still works like new.

Question for @HeadInClouds, do you mind if I post your recipe for Lazy Morning in the ECF thread "Recipes for Dummies"? I love the recipe, it is simple but tastes great. I haven't posted it, I thought it proper to ask first.
Another question for all you folks, is there a thread like that on VU? Easy to mix simple recipes for beginners?

I don't think a beginner thread per se'. You could start one though. I think it's actually a great idea
I'm not sure how easy to mix they may be, but there are threads such as....

...that are simple enough for me.
We miss you @HeadInClouds 
@HeadInClouds, hope all is well.
Does anyone know why HIC has been missing? Any one in touch with him outside the forum?

I know a long while back he got busy with life but not recently.
I have beenvaping Lazy Morning for a few weeks now. I freaking love this recipe. I just mugged an 18mg bottle for mom for her SMM Serpent Mini and should be ready to vape tomorrow. I let it step for a couple days myself. Flavors meld together well by then and yum!

I usually mix 60 mls of the extracts (that's my stock sol'n) and keep it in a dark brown bottle. Whenever I'm starting to run out, I mix a new batch at 6% in my usual 50/50 base. Since the ingredients sans base spent some time together and had a chance to mingle, the juice is pretty much a shake and vape.
If any of the mods here have the possibility to get in touch with him, please convey our wishes of well being and let him know his presence is sorely missed.
I agree!
wantttttttttttttttttttttttttttt *drool*
I'm currently vaping a mix that was given to me personally by him a couple of years ago. He never have me the okay to share it or I gladly would because it is REALLY good!
Come back HIC! I want to share thisrecipe and need your okay to do it

So I mixed hics lemon creme cookies a while ago and whilst delicious it wasn't an adv for me but so close it was frustrating. so I mixed hics ginger lemon creme cookies and while it was further from ideal than the first recipe(turns out I don't tolerate tfa brown sugar)I knew I was on the track so I double stuffed the lemon creme, as per hics instructions and added the1% NF ginger from ginger lemon creme cookies and damn this is the one,juicy deep and complex.
Hic for the win yet again. Hiding clues for the vape treasure hunters.

Can’t like that. Anyone know what’s going on?

I haven’t a clue as I tagged him a long while ago & no answer. I heard through the grapevine at that time he was busy. Haven’t heard anything else since.

Maybe we'll see a line of HIC juices and concentrates in shops? Wishful thinking, but it could happen. I just hope he is in fine health, the rest is just smo...I mean vapor.
Somewhere in my notebooks is a long list full of hics work I never got around to buying... I feel bereft... and I'm only half joking.
HIC being such a voice and inspiration in the DIY community saddens me that he couldn't tell his peers what is going on. At the very least say goodbye. It's as if DIY was never as important as he let on. Not to insult, maybe he has a good reason but as time goes by with no word, I feel disrespected by a mentor. He could have done all of us one better than this, at least one.
HIC has given enough to this community. He owes us nothing but we will always owe him.
