Would the banana cream be good on its own?

I have no idea. Haven't tried it as a single flavor. That sounds like a little too much banana for me.
I'm wondering if you have tried TFA Banana Cream & if so, how does it compare to the FE? I started out with the TFA & then bought LA because a lot of people were touting it's virtues, but to be honest, I like the TFA better.
As for the TFA Ripe Banana, I agree- not very good. When I tried to use it I had to use it at half the strength I had used regular TFA Banana, but I didn't care for the flavor. I do like the regular & FA's Banana as well. I have some INW I'm not real fond of though.
As far as banana's go my favorites in this respective order are - VTA Banana Custard, WF Banana Puree, TFA Banana Cream, HS Banana, FE Banana. I have yet to try the MB Soft Banana, and I also really like TFA Banana Nut Bread, but that's more of a bakery.

I haven't tried any other banana cream except the FE. Truthfully have bought very few banana flavors after the unfortunate experience with TFA Ripe. I do have TFA Banana Nut Bread, which I've read is really good, but I've never used it.
Banana just isn't one of my faves for vaping, even before I was mixing my own. Think the only banana juice I had ordered came from Madvapes, and it was banana enough to knock your head off. Disgusting to me.
I'm having to ease into it!
That might tell you something about FE Banana Cream (Pie). It's soft, subtle, lightly sweet banana at 2.6% in this mix.

Have any TFA BNB recipes you want to share? I've had every intention of trying that flavor and just haven't...yet...
I have a decent BNB here, but I believe it uses banana flavors you might not have.

That does look good. I'd have to make a couple of subs, though. FW VBIC for TFA, and Inw Yes, We Cheesecake for Cap NYC.
What do y'all think about those subs? Does the Cap NYC have graham crust in it? (Even if it does, I probably wouldn't add graham cracker since I truly, truly despise that flavor in a vape.)

I have three of the flavors in that recipe. It looks good, but it's unlikely that I'd buy all that banana, knowing how little I would probably use it. I also wouldn't try to sub, for obvious reasons.
Thank you Howard. I appreciate your suggestion!

It does, but not in a crazy amount. I usually combo it with TFA CGC or Yes, We Cheesecake to bump it up.

Not to be argumentative, but for me graham doesn't have to be in a crazy amount. It grows as the juice steeps, and eventually it's all I can taste, even as low as 0.6%. It will completely kill anything I put it in, for me. About like FA Cookie. Sorry. I know y'all love it.
I would use much less INW Yes, We Cheesecake, maybe like 2% and the ice cream sub shouldn't make a difference at all. I have used LB Vanilla Ice Cream in there as well and it made 0 difference. I don't taste pepper from TFA VBIC so I like it as I find it has a nice buttery, creamy, deep ice cream quality to it.Not to be argumentative, but for me graham doesn't have to be in a crazy amount.

Damn. I do love it. So much. Lol! And I love FA Cookie. Taste buds are so fussy!Not to be argumentative, but for me graham doesn't have to be in a crazy amount.

Lemmie go look at my notes. I know there’s one cheesecake with no graham, but I can’t remember which one it is. Is it Yes, We Cheesecake?
Edit: Lorann’s. That’s the one. It’s very similar to Cream Cheese Icing. And on that note, maybe OoO Vanilla Custard Cheesecake may also do what you’re looking for?

I think that the INW Y,WC is similar enough to the CAP NYC that it shouldn't make any noticeable difference. It could even be an improvement, I do love Yes, We Cheesecake so maybe I will try it. It has a light graham note, but I don't get much cheesecake from OoO Vanilla Custard Cheesecake (or much custard for that matter).

Yeah, totally mislabeled flavor. Neither Custard nor cheesecake. But.....it is a fantastic sweet cream cheese! IMO, beats LA CCI by a mile.....and no 2 week minimum steep.

So I decided to give myself a goal this year.....one recipe a day. Not necessarily mixed, just a concept to mix later. Am I crazy? I’ve already pulled it off since January 1. 365 recipes in a year.

BNB isn’t half bad as a solo flavor. Light banana, heavy bakery.
Not crazy, but very skilled if you can pull it off!
So are you going to post one once a day ? Or do we take your word for it?
And by the way, Today is the 9th.

Sounds like a lot to me. Sounds like more than I'd want to commit to, in case I want a day to tweak recipes I've already worked on, or if I want to just have a mixing day. Also sounds like a lot of recipes to keep organized. Thank goodness for the folder system on ELR.
Then again, some people work best under pressure, and if you know that you do, then by all means. Go for it!
If I did commit to that and then found that it impacted my ability to be creative, I'd have to stop it. The creativity is more important than the nuts-and-bolts of mixing. You know this already.

Lol! I do work better under pressure. When I was in art school, I definitely waited until the last minute to do a lot of my projects...pulling all nighters drinking pots of coffee and smoking an obscene amount of cigarettes. Probably not my best work.....Sounds like a lot to me.

I’m thinking some of these recipes won’t be my best work, but I’m looking for inspiration. If I can come up with recipes that I can work with, I’ll be happy. And if it gets too much, I’ll stop. But I wanna give it a go while my energy isn’t shit.
This sounds great. I have everything but the Super Sweet. I do have Sugar Daddy. Think that would work at the same%.
Thanks for sharing this. Going to make it tonite!

I don’t know? I can post once a day? I don’t mind, as long as y’all know some of them might be shit. Lol! But I’ve definitely done 9. Two of them have been mixed, so far.Not crazy, but very skilled if you can pull it off!

Same same.
yes sugar daddy would be fine. You can leave it out all together if you want, but I find it adds a nice sweetness to the caramel.
I mean this is called the DAILY mixing thread.

Made the Smoked butterscotch latte(v1). I’m gonna give it a few days before judging how good it is. It’s butterscotch forward right now.....might need a touch more espresso or something like it.
Also made a lemon pound cake after reading about someone lamenting the loss of Glas Pound Cake. I had forgotten how much I like FA Pandoro...it’s the co-base for the recipe(along with FLV Pound Cake). Pandoro really is a Lemon pound cake....just needs a bit of help in the cake department. There’s a lemon note, which also benefits from a boost. Again, I’ll let it sit for a few days before thinking about tweaking it. It’s really good, off the shake.
And....I remixed Honeycomb Custard and Cookies with some newer concentrates. Only three flavors crossed over(FA Cookie, VT Honeycomb and FA Custard Premium)....the rest were replaced with something else. It may become a completely different recipe? We shall see.......

I haven't ever eaten that either. I guess I need to try nutella and cookie butter. I've seen other stuff in jars before. It was a cookies and cream something or other..

B
Both of those are amazing.......if you can get your hands on either, DO IT. Totally worth every penny.
I think Biscoff has a cookie thing in a jar. Their cookies are like crack biscuits so I’m sure it’s yummy!
Nutella is addictive. I love it on good bread. I could go through the entire loaf and jar in one sitting.
That's a rhetorical question, no?
That's what it tastes like to me too although I haven't used it in a while since it's one of flavors FA doesn't allow to be sold in North America. For that reason, I doubt it is part of the Glas recipe but I bet it works well regardless.
I got addicted to those cookies after trying them on a flight years ago. I used to love dipping them in my coffee ... hmm, recipe idea maybe, lol.

I am an absolute nut for lemon pound cake. Paula Deen's Mama's Pound Cake made with lemon extract, yes yes yes!!! What little self-control I normally have goes right out the window.
Worked on a biscotti-and-coffee juice recipe the other day, should mix that up this weekend. I'm overloaded with juice already, though, as usual. I just don't go through it quickly enough to keep up with all the things I want to mix!

My favorites are toast or Ritz crackers with Nutella. Love the salt that's on Ritz crackers combined with chocolate!
I hear you, I'm in the same boat. I'm a pretty moderate vaper so I very seldom mix up more than 30ml of any one recipe for myself. If it weren't for my cousin asking for different things, I might be even worse about mixing new recipes.
What's the saying, a little extra juice never hurt anyone? I seem to recall something along those lines anyway, lol.
Seriously though, I hope you do, I'd definitely mix it up provided I have the appropriate flavors.

So after months of having it, I finally tested MB S’mores. Goddamm, it’s good! It’s a brownie with toasted marshmallows. I mixed it at the recommended 7% and wow! It’s definitely a pretty good solo flavor, but I also think it could back up a chocolate glazed donut pretty well. I’m also gonna try a brownie batter with it.

Let's see how this works out...
Goph's All Creped Out
1.0% Banana FLV
0.4% Fried Dough FLV
0.4% Milk Chocolate FLV
1.4% Strawberry Cream FLV
0.4% Strawberry Smash FLV
0.4% Sweet Dough FLV
1.0% Vanilla Pudding FLV
Off the shake it definitely needs time for the flavors to get to know one another. Probably a week. I went with it being chocolate pudding in the crepe with the strawberries and bananas to be different from the Nutella lovers...
If you haven't figured it out, I like FLV and have been following @Smoky Blue for a while.
