So, all......I’m working on another custard. Surprise! I’m super happy with it right now. Might just tweak it a bit more before release. It’s more like a custard pie. But it’s pretty damn good. And no super weird ingredients! Lol!
I’m also working on a green tea/coconut milk latte....which is a little harder than I want it to be.

I hope to see some decent sales. I'm looking at hardware and mostly disappointed so far. Looking for cheap mods to stash for the vape apocalypse.
I still have unopened flavors from a few orders ago. I just can't find the time right now. However, a good sale is always a good thing. I have to remember it will be a few more months until the Black Friday sales.
Bull City Coupon for Labor Day is here !
Did anyone try MB Butter My Biscuit yet? Good? Yay or Nay?
Did anyone try MB Butter My Biscuit yet? Good? Yay or Nay?
Not sure how helpful this will be, but I used it in a Strawberry Cheesecake recipe at 1.5%. Buttery, biscuity...just like the name. I used other flavors containing AP (fw Graham Cracker 1%; Cap NYC 1%; LB Strawberry Cheesecake 4%) and the AP note is too intense for me after steeping a week. If/when I mix it again, I will definitely cut the graham down or leave it out altogether. LB Strawberry Cheesecake--also a new flavor for me--has more of a graham note than expected/detected based on bottle aroma.
Just by the by, I've found adding lemon or lemonade flavors to a mix like this can cut that weird AP intensity. It's only a fix, and better probably just to use less AP-laden ingredients, but it does help.

I agree with @lirruping . It’s pretty intense and def has a heavier AP note than other biscuit types. But it’s gloriously buttery and dark crispy cookie.
Yum.
Does anyone have thoughts on FW Dark Chocolate? It was recommended to me a about 3 years back as the best dark chocolate. My experience with chocolates is very limited- FA Cocoa, FA Chocolate, tfa double chocolate, tfa chocolate clear.
I prefer the fa flavors--they don't have that tootsie roll feeling. Any experience with fw dark choc would be greatly appreciated!
I'm also looking at Hangsen Australian Chocolate and vt chocolate mousse. I've tried without success to make a palatable dark chocolate with bright strawberry. I think I have the right strawberry flavors for this, but the chocolate eludes me. I'm only moderately worried about coils. If I can get the flavor right, I'll suck up the coil gore, if necessary!

Are you looking to do chocolates? There are muuuuuch better ones out there.
Hoping to recreate something like a strawberry chocolate juice I vaped in '14, when I was just months off cigarettes. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was made by Nicquid--a brand that may not even exist anymore.
Anyway, it was a very dark chocolate flavor with a bright strawberry cutting right through it. Yes, it damaged my poor little protank coils like crazy, but it was so good, I'm willing to pay the price.
I'm listening for your dark chocolate recommendations. As I mentioned, above, I've heard good things about VT Choc Mousse, Hangsen Australian Chocolate. Maybe someone has tried VT Clear Chocolate Base? I've been watching Concrete River's Vape Train reviews and am a little confused, to be honest. Don't get me wrong--his feedback is so valuable, so great--but the way he describes their "base" flavors makes it seem like they will always need a little extra fiddling with to make a full-on version of whatever flavor it is.
From what I've heard, MB Glamour Chocolate is very good, but I get the sense that it is more a milk chocolate than a dark chocolate.

VT Dark Chocolate is my favorite. Actually, all of the VT Chocolates are winners. HS Australian is def very good....probably the best of the lot. Glamour is good, but I haven’t used it all that much. The only other one that’s more dark than milk is FLV Chocolate Deutsch, but it has a coconut note(which helps with the richness, but if you’re a coconut hater, avoid this one).
The one thing you wanna do with chocolates is use sweetener. It definitely helps. Go check out Folkarts Mayan Milk on ATF. He’s come so close to doing chocolate without that tootsie roll thing.
And, no matter what, there will be layering and fiddling.....Chocolate is a tough one.

It’s a fruity cream soda. Not super in your face fruit, but it’s there and can be coaxed out.

Oh....and being a commercial liquid, they were probably using Caps, TFA or FW.
Thanks @lirruping & @wildgypsy70 in da cart it goes!
@wildgypsy70 you’re like the encyclopedia of flavorings 
you are da girl lol!
you are da girl lol!
Thanks for this, WG! I have looked at Mayan Milk and actually emailed FArt about this recipe, and although I haven't tried it yet (lacking the flavors), I felt from the description and reviews that it was more of milky chocolate than I wanted. Many seem to love MM, so I should probably give it a try in any case.
Thanks so much for the info re VT Dark Chocolate. I will put that on my list. The coconut you mention in flv choc deutsch--though I'm not a coconut hater--does disqualify it for my particular intention (that strawb-dark choc idea mentioned above) it is very good to know about a true dark chocolate flavor
You mention using sweetener with chocolates, which has worked well in my experience, too. But it's been a while. Thanks for the reminder!
I remember using AP in amounts below 0.5% to bring something fuller to chocolate mixes, but I my memory is dim on the topic. Any advice on using AP with chocolate?
I’ve gotten the recommended chocolates but haven’t used any yet. @wildgypsy70 I did screenshot Mayan Milk a while ago & still haven’t mixed it yet, have you?
I remember hearing someone on here recently say they were grateful for having started DIY in the "Golden Age" of flavors. After taking my break from vaping (smoking :\) My mind is boggled by the assortment available at this time!
There are so many new flavors, so many compound flavors. All my original flavors are/were like fa single fruits, plain creams (albeit of different tones), and the standard Cap flavors of a few years back.
When i read a new recipe, say, from @nadalama, I'm a bit lost, since despite having a large collection of flavors, I will have only, say two or three, in N's recipe!

I copied this from the Mayan Milk recipe:
“For this recipe, I settled on CAP Double Chocolate V2. This is a highly under-rated flavoring in my opinion being that I don't see it much in other's recipes. It's a thick, deep chocolate, almost a dark chocolate, that only needs that sweet and fatty infusion to make it into a nice chocolate.”
Maybe?
So true the influx of new companies certainly makes it hard to keep up.

I did! Totally worth it. It’s the closest to actual chocolate that I’ve ever had.

I’ve never heard that one! Makes sense, though. Nutty things enhance chocolate. Brings richness.

This sounds perfect. I always forget about this one. So it needs sweetener and some fatty(FLV or FA Coconut really low or maybe Avocado?) stuff. Or a touch of White Chocolate?

@lirruping Chances are....way back when.....they used TFA double chocolate clear.
Anyone care to comment on the difference between Hangsen's Italian Cream and LA Cream Cheese Frosting and which might be better for what application? Hard to believe, but I've tried neither. Have read a fair amount of notes on both, but am hoping for some VU input.
Oh, man, i'm afraid I'm going to break the bank. I wish I had a free-for-all spirit like you!

Do you think the coconut in flv chocolate deutsch is too much for this application?
EDIT: By "this application" I mean for use in a dark choc/bright strawb mix.

@Letitia9 reeeeeeally likes Italian Cream. I think? LA Cream Cheese Icing, after a proper 2+week steep, is what it says it is. Italian Cream is more like Marscapone, but creamier. Less sweet than LA.
I’m gonna put a new possibility. OoO Vanilla Custard Cheesecake. It is a very good cream cheese icing, surprisingly. With a lot less steep. I love it.

It’s there. Not super in your face, but it’s there. It could possibly be hidden, but I’ve never tried. There’s one recipe that uses it that DOES manage to hide it. Shyndo’s Mint Chip Cookies and Cream....which is fabulous! It’s on ATF....check it out, especially if you like mint.

Lol....I try. Between all the single flavor testing I do and all the shows I watch? It’s surprising I get anything else done!@wildgypsy70 you’re like the encyclopedia of flavorings
But I am so glad to help anyone!
Of course BCF is out of the 10ml of HS Chocolate Cream
Thanks for your feedback, it’s on the list
I think he chose the HS Chocolate Cream to accomplish.
I forgot about Hangsen's Chocolate Cream, dang it! Now I'm going to get nervous about ordering. Why don't flavor retailers give us more time to prepare for a sale? I'm sure it's some obvious reason I'm overlooking and yet... I'm overlooking it.
PS: Not like I don't have a list ready--its just my list is way more than I can afford and haven't narrowed it down

Thanks WG! 30 ml is there. $6.75,though and I have so many chocolates in cart...
This could be a tough two days of indecision and hair-pulling. (I'm just like that
)re Mayan Milk, FolkArt says:
"The secret weapon here to make this [Mayan Milk] into a chocolate milk that would stand out among the others is HS Chocolate Cream. I absolutely love this flavoring. It gives the mix a certain "sourness"...like a yogurt with more emphasis on the creaminess. It really makes the mix stand out."
Well, Stevia is dextrose (sugar), cellulose (wood or plant fiber or pulp), and reb A (Stevia plant extract). Other than that, I haven't enough information to offer educated advice. However, I personally don't want to inhale wood or plant fiber or pulp...just my preferences.

"flv chocolate deutsch " is a chocolate cake flavor.
IMO The best Dark Chocolate flavor is sold by MF. (Medicine Flower)
A touch of vanilla flavor helps Chocolate flavors "pop"

Thanks. I have heard this, too, about MF Dark Chocolate. I'm just at BCF for the moment (the sale) but it's on my eventually list! Nice to know about the vanilla. I've mixed my share of dirty, muddled chocolate + flavors.

Wow, I actually have all these. Oh wait no - no Caps Hot Cocoa. But it's already in my cart and I was wondering what I was going to do with it. Now I have what looks like a foolproof way to test it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Other peoples recipes are what I usually make but here's my contribution. I don't have a name for it but it tastes like Brach's Jelly Nougat and I haven't seen it before.
TFA Pina Colada 1.5%
Cap Vanilla Custard .15%
Simple shake and vape but, it gets even better after steeping.
