Yeah.....it sounds like the website will still be live? But I guess they have BnM in Washington state. The taxes are going to be brutal. I saw it on FB a few minutes ago.
Geeze a little family run place and really great people the few times I chatted with them. Just so unfair. I hope they can keep their website going so they don't totally lose everything at least.

I'm going to do your banana granola. However, I don't have banana. So I will go without! Banana, pumpkin spice, pumpkin and a few others on on my buy list. However, when checking out resellers they are always out or don't sell a few I want.
ecx has the FE Banana in their sale section for 99 cents if interested. I found it to be a nice Banana.

Will double check my flavors and order the pudding and yogurt if I don't have them. Thanks so much for posting it! Saving it to my bookmarks now.

That VT pudding base is awesome. I just ordered a 30ml bottle of it this go round. I want to try and do something with that base and some chocolate

So, it's just a "base", no particular flavor in itself, just to kinda "thicken" up a flavor?
Yes, pretty much. Or at least it seems that way. Heck let me go try a small bit by itself, although it could change after a week. I have never tried it stand alone.

Well, this is interesting. It does have a bit of a flavor and I'm not very good at describing flavors really, but it smells similar to inw custard so I tried both stand alone at 3% it's sort of like the INW but milder and INW seems to be a bit sweeter. You know it tastes like this stuff I had years ago that was called quacks duck juice something or other, best I can recall anyway. .......oh I looked it up, Goose Juice if you have ever had that. So I think it's more like a custard but it works, so that's what I use. :)

Thank you for the description, it helps a lot. So now I have to ask, do you think that using FA Custard (not the premium) would be an ok sub? I'm not much of a custard person, but the FA one I like, since it's a bit of a mild citrus, rather than the eggy type, like Caps.

I haven't used the regular FA custard in quite some time but why not try it? Make maybe 10ml? It surely won't be bad I don't think. FA for me, seems to be a little on the stronger side so maybe drop the % a little bit, 1% maybe?

To me, VT pudding base is like the sludge at the bottom of a bowl of milk that Nilla Wafers have been soaking in. It sounds gross but it’s definitely not.

Crap Crap.................so sorry I wrote graham cracker clear and it's NOT it's Graham Cracker CRUST................ugh. Sorry. Not sure how much different it would be with the clear. Being that you use 3% could be quite a bit.

LOL no worries, at all. That's one of my most used flavors. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into responding to me. You even mixed one up to taste it standalone! Thanks so much Deb <3 Total class.

Thanks! I couldn’t put a finger on it until I saw Noted.....ID10-T described it and it was exactly what I thought but couldn’t put words to. That man is a flavor description genius.

I put this in my health thread but thought ya'll might like to see this short video too:)

What Do 'Natural' and 'Artificial' Flavors Really Mean?

https://www.brighteon.com/057348ab-1ce1-4ed4-a5c8-158d433b78d8

Thanks for that link, Jimi!

About your signature relating to hardcore cancer treatments: my mother was a medical transcriptionist for many years at Dana Farber Cancer Center in Boston and one of the things she learned during that time--which she has repeated over and over again-- jibes perfectly with what you are saying: every oncologist she knows would not choose chemotherapy for their own family--even though it's encouraged by docs to most patients. I suspect you know a lot more than I do about the *why and wherefore* of this than I, but I can tell you it has made a huge impression on me.

I am glad you liked it:). I have late stage 4 aggressive cancer and have spent the last 4 years fighting it, last 3 years naturally and am so glad I did. Chemo leads to a lot of suffering and I have done better by going naturally than they could of gave me with the chemo;)

Chess Pie

Brown Sugar (TFA) 2.5%
Butter Cream (Cap) 2%
Butter Pecan (FW) 1.5%
Cinnamon Crunch (Flv) 1%
Condensed Milk (NR) 2.5%
Dutch Apple Pie (FW) 0.75%
Glazed Doughnut (Cap) 1.5%
Lemon (FE) 2%
Molasses (TFA) .75%
Pie Crust (FW) 2%
Vanilla Bourbon (FA) 1.5%

Total flavors 18%

To me this tastes surprisingly light for this level of flavoring. The lemon was a last-minute addition, could just as easily be peach or an up-front apple as well.

This sounds amazing. I'm always a little shy of Molasses and Brown Sugar (they can be so heavy and sweet), but I bet if I cut them back a bit I'd be well off.

About that light flavor you mentioned, despite the higher % -- I've found that lemon, especially FE Lemon, cuts through the heavy sweetness of many flavors. Maybe that's it?

BTW, I'm curious about NR Condensed Milk. I only have FA, and it's very hard to get right. I haven't used it in a while, but I recall having to use incredibly tiny amounts to get the creaminess without overwhelming.

What are your thoughts on NR Condensed Milk. (And what is "NR"? i may be forgetting or it may be something new I'm unaware of :) )

FA Condensed Milk sucks. Haha! IMO, anyway. The Condensed Milk I use, when I need to is Purilum. I find that it’s the closest to actual condensed milk.....sweet, thick and a teeny little bit dark.

NR is Nicotine River.

That’s pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing that, it underscored what I believe. It’s scary to think how many people get chemo believing it’s the best and only treatment out there.
I bet a lot of higher ups in BioAg wouldn’t let their families eat GMO food, either. I’m not a health nut, I just prefer food the way Nature intended it to be.
Check out Jimi’s Health thread. It’s interesting and he’s an awesome person.

It's Nicotine River. I haven't had that flavor long, but I have used the heck out of it. Adds creaminess, almost like ice cream without the sweetness, has a unique flavor to it that I really can't describe. Tastes better than real condensed milk.

You might want to back off the percentages a little, but I tell ya, I'm surprised how light this is even at the level I have posted. I added the Lemon last, so I did sample it before it had the lemon. It was light then too. It actually may be the condensed milk that is toning it down.

I really think it tastes like unsweetened cream.

I haven't single-flavor tested this, but I really don't get "sweet" from it.

By the way, the mix is I think six days old today. I've been vaping it on and off all day and really, really like it.

I've neen playi g with Euro Flavors Blue Raspberry. It's one of the few that's actually any good that I've tried. I know what you're gunna say, "What about WF Sour Blue Razz Candy, or LB, or RF?" None of them hit the mark IMO. Euro's is so close to being THE ONE. So I'm throwing things at it to try and get the most out of it. I'm one of those blue razz weidos that's figuratively chasing the unicorn.

Playing with TFA Peanut Butter & DX. Nothing solid at this point.

Made a strawberry/cactus thing. I was vaping Grack today and was wondering..

I mixed something today to test TFA Smooth. FA White Peach has always been harsh to me. Just wondering what Smooth would do do it. I also did peach/lemon Sicilian with smooth.

A combo I'm working on is peach/papaya/tangerine or orange. Might try mango next time instead of one of them.

FA White Peach simmers down after a week or so -- quite a bit. I just love it, though. If I were subbing one out for Mango, I'd sub out papaya and add Mango. Just me.

Was reading about Grack recently. So many interesting reviews. It is such an odd mix-up, right? But many say it's addicting. Do you find it so?

I've had my positive experience with a grape vape recently--a grape bubblegum. I never thought I'd be a Blue Raspberry person, but since loving this new grape flavor, I'm feeling more open-minded.

Good luck with the elusive Blue Raz :)

I've always loved grape bubblegum and have yet to mix up a liquid. What is WRONG with me? I should do that, like, N.O.W. :D

Yeah it really is a strange one. I've been making it steadily for a couple of years. Some of my favorite flavors are just combinations of different things that create something I've never tasted. Recipes dont always have to mimic real things we eat or drink. I'm down with the funky stuff lol. Fiestas & Fiascos is another great one. People are probably sick of me mentioning those two but I love em. I usually get sick of everything after a few days, weeks or months. It's nice to have a few that I can always go back to.

You might have the flavors for one of these two. The one on the left is Bubbilicious Grape by Ckemist (ATF) . On the right in the [ ] is my slight modification based on flavors I had and my preferences. (Adding the Grape Soda makes it sweeter and at first it's throatier, but that dies down in about 3 days.) Either one is easy and you don't have to wait long to vape it :)


4.5 (CAP) Bubble Gum [4 Molinberry American Bubble Gum]
3.25 (TPA) Grape Juice [1.5 TPA Grape Juice & 1.5 FW Grape Soda]
2.5 (TPA) Marshmallow [1.75 fa Marshmallow + 1 FW Marshmallow]
0.25 (TPA) Sweetener [None]
2 (TPA) Vanilla Swirl [2 (TPA) Vanilla Swirl ]

I mixed one up last night and have tweaked it several times this morning, but not happy with it yet. I'll post it if I can get it right, at some point.

@Heartsdelight , just in case you aren't getting alerted ( I also had this problem ) I wanted to give you a heads up to check the Aspire Mulus contest thread ... I think you will be pleasantly surprised! :D
OMG!!! Congratulations to you too!!!!!! :banana::banana:

Much appreciated! If not for you my prize would’ve been forfeited as Tina from Aspire said we only had 48 hours to contact her. So thank you :blowkiss::blowkiss::blowkiss:

Do you think the Grack recipe would be okay with tfa grape juice in place of Inw grape? I have the idea that inw grape is pretty full on artificial/candy grape flavor. I have everything but that.

I think TFA Grape Juice is a bit thin but it might work at the right percentage. INW Grape is that artifical grape or purple flavor yeah. It's just much louder or potent than TFAs.

A modified Smokeyblue recipe
Grape bubblegum
Flavorah Bubblegum 1.2%
Flavorah Grape 1.0%
Flavorah Marshmallow vanilla 0.4%
Flavorah Cotton Candy 0.4%
50/50 base
MTL use
it's great as a shake n vape.
Made this last night and vaping it this morning I really like it.

This looks good to me but I have to ask ... most Cotton Candy flavors are largely just Ethyl Maltol, is the FLV offering significantly different?

In that case, maybe a combo of tfa grape juice (which is actually pretty purple, despite the "juice" in the name) and fw grape soda (very purple) would work. Maybe at higher %s.

I'm gonna try mixing it but I want to get a sense of how much of my grape flavors to use for a similar strength (if not exact flavor). I know you said you hadn't got tfa grape juice, but I see the percentage for inw grape in Grack is 4%.

Inw is usually pretty strong and if this goes for their grape too, 4% would be really intense. Is it one of those that's not quite so potent as say, cactus or raspberry? I was thinking of starting with 6% of my grapes and taking it from there.

ps: if anyone has experience with both Inw grape and tfa grape juice, please chime in.
