I want to mix up that Berried Alive but don’t have JF Bavarian cream. Did you use that or replace it with tpa?

I have Jungle Bavarian. It's pretty good stuff. It has a nice thickness. TFA should be good. For anyone interested-

Tuney's Tonic calls for an obscure blueberry called VSO. I just used BB Extra-

Buttermilk Pie calls for 1% TFA-Butter. I subbed it for Burro(half the %)-

What else should I get if I order the FA Butter from thesteamery.co.au? @LeanPipe suggested it might be good with the exchange rate. Chefsflavours doesn’t have the FA Butter & the only other alternative would be FA Italy.

I was driven right to the doors of BCF today by my need of gorilla bottles! You'll never guess what happened!

Flavors!

Well, it's not all that exciting, not a hundred bucks worth or anything, but I did get a few that sound interesting. BCF has already marked the order as shipped. It's been about 2 hours since I placed it. They're amazing.

All Flavor West:

Key Lime
Natural Ecto Cooler
Maple Pecan
Butter Pecan
Pink Bubbly
Pie Crust
Lemon Meringue Pie

If that Ecto Cooler is any good, Imma be a happy somebody. Used to vape Ecto Cooler from MBV a long time ago. Super yummy stuff. And Maple Pecan? Be Still My Heart!

Love that Butter Pecan!

Nomnomz in the UK has butter.....

But, FA whipped cream is a really good, thick cream. Lemmie get back to you tonight, if that’s not too late. I think there may be another one Chefs doesn’t have.

Hello DIYers. Nic Salts, I've never used it. And I won IPHA-Swis-Stainless-Steel-Pod in one of our contests. It has refillable pod w/1.6Ω coil
and is recommended for use with nic salts. Anyone have a recommend on what strength I should try? I use 6mg reg nic in RTA's and RDA's.
Click to expand...

If I were making that decision for myself, I'd start no higher than 18mg. Never had a pod device myself, but I think the idea is that, with such limited battery life as most of them have, you bump the nic up so that you don't have to hit the pod but every so often, just a few hits at a time. I think they are not intended to be chain-vaped, else the battery would be dead in a half hour.

Does that sound about right?

ETA: Possibly worth noting at least for me, nic salts make me sneeze and they produce an odd feeling in my lungs. I'd advise not spending a whole lot of money on salts until you know if they agree with you.

ETA2: Dang, I keep thinking of more to add to this post. Others can chime in, but I also found that I had to increase flavors by about 50% in salt mixes. When I mixed recipes at my regular levels with salts, the flavor in the finished mix was almost nonexistent.

Alright, I am gonna be mixing up a Blueberry Muffin when I get home.
upload_2019-1-9_10-44-41.png

This was the initial test. I'm going to drop the MTS Vape Wizard as I think it is muting that sour blueberry tone I'm looking for out of my Blueberry. I'm going to up the blueberry from 2% to 2.5 maybe 3%. The Cinnamon Ceylon I'm going to boost to 3/4% (.75) and maybe take the Yellow Cake up to 3.5. Any other suggestions? Maybe some marshmallow FA to give it a little sweetness? Maybe some FLV Cranberry to make it a Blueberry Cran Muffin? The 10ml test I made is gone, but the blueberry was a little too muted for me. I'm thinking it might just have been the Wizard and I should stick at 2%.

Finally placed order to try out Inaweras shortbread cookie. It is finally in stock for purchase at BCF. Of course, I don't really need any flavorings but picked up a few new ones to try as well. I want to try Flavorah whipped cream in the lemon tort/tart I'm trying to make. The WF Mascarpone cheese seems like a unique flavor to have on hand. I picked up WF carrot cake to try. If that doesn't work I will go pick up Natures flavors carrot cake. I use to buy that for SIL and she loved it.

I'm loving the FLV Whipped Cream. It's very good. The mouthfeel it adds is wonderful. I've had a few others that taste like cool whip or fake whipped cream, this definitely isn't a stand-alone and needs some sweetness to stand behind it, but it tastes exactly like taking a bowl of cream and whipping it up.

Yay! INW Shortbread, thanks for the heads up. I recently got the WF Mascarpone but haven’t used it yet. I’ll have to find some others to bulk up the cart. My last BCF order only had 2, FLV Granola & FA Juicy Strawberry.

How is the flv granola? LOL I'm trying to limit my spending.

Sorry for the late reply, yes, we have most sizes available now and should have the rest up later today.

Yikes! I suppose I should have waited...Maybe next time. My main concern was the Inw shortbread. I think you will sell out soon. The only other vendor that sells Inw shortbread sells it for 4.95 for 10mL. A huge mark up. You guys are affordable for folks like me.

You've probably been asked this question, but is FA Butter ever coming back? I'm trying to get my hands on it, and let me tell you, it is NOT easy.
Click to expand...
FA Butter is one of the "dirty" flavors (kitchen line b/c it contains diacetyl) and Flavour Art has decided not to sell any kitchen line flavors to resellers in North America so unfortunately, no. You should be able to get it from European resellers though like Chef's

Thanks. I saw it at a few places in the UK and I can buy it from FA Italy, but it doesn't come cheap. Thanks for the info.

No, but I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. It's almost like an energy drink or Mountain Dew soft drink, a citrusy, tangy/sweet punch beverage flavor.

Back in the 80s everybody's kids drank Hi-C Ecto Coolers juice boxes.

I won a few too. I bought some commercial juice to try salts. It didn't get along with me. Tasted like chemicals and really burned my nose upon the exhale. BUT most of the salt juices I saw were 30-50mg! I got one of my old favorites at 25mg and it just seemed excessive. I ordered some salts from NR a couple of weeks ago and haven't heard anything lol. They really need to get their shit together. I have a Nord coming and want to make my own at like 8-10mg to see how I like it.

Had the urge to make something new...it wasn’t a loser, but not really a winner yet. I think it’s gonna need some time, as it’s pretty neutral as a S&V, but that just might be from a lack of a prevalent flavor for everything to work with.

Wanted to use my Rich Cinnamon, but I couldn’t find my diluted bottle of it and just used cinnamon toast instead.

Got bored and saw a commercial on TV where they were showing strawberries and had a brainstorm for something that could be S&V while my other concoction steeps...so I came up with a version of Strawberry Shortcake with what I have on hand
afb78aaf84c518ea712e8e77d15c5a83.jpg

No need to steep and it’s pretty good.
Also, I found a positive thing about having a regulated device, which I’d given up long ago...the changing of the power curve with this Desire Cut Mod. All I have been using are tubes, but I’m actually comfortably vaping at 50w with a build ohming out at .13 after changing the power curve...maybe I’ve stayed out of the game too long and advancements I wasn’t aware of have come along.
