Aside from the Dragonfruit I mixed up tonight, I mixed my 1st successful cheesecake recipe, which makes me happy since I've always wanted to like a cheesecake juice but never have.

CAP NY Cheesecake 1.25%
TFA Blueberry Extra 0.5%
CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream 2%

I may have to bump the blueberry up just a bit, but I'm gonna wait a few days since it sometimes comes through more as it steeps. We'll see.

@Mykreign and others interested in mixing with nic salts: I got a freebie of a juice called "Army Man" with my last order from eliquid.com. It's a nic salts juice, using something called "True Nic 2.0."

Just want to let you know there's a warning on the bottle that states that the juice is not to be used in devices operating at higher than 400 degrees Celsius (752 degrees Fahrenheit). Now, I don't know if it's even possible to operate a mod at a higher temp than that, but the warning is there, and it may not be on nic salts as they come for mixing.

I think all my mods top out at about 600 degrees Fahrenheit, but my mods are all wimpy, comparatively. So for safety's sake, just want to put this out for the DIY folks.

ETA: Haven't tried the juice yet, but I will soon, and will let you all know how it is. It's 3mg, so if it gives me a head rush, that's gonna be surprising. Most of my juice is 9-12mg, but of course that's for MTL. I use 6mg for DTL, but at lower wattages than most. My DTL tanks are all using Vaporesso ccell 0.9 ohm ceramic coils at 26W.

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to check mine when it gets here, probably tomorrow.

Also, about nic salts, have any of you read about using citric or other acids to convert your regular nic to nic salts? There is some (confusing) info on ECF and other forums about this, and if I like the salts that are on the way, I just may try this.

ETA: I think I've figured out how to do this, and just ordered some citric acid. It would be mighty nice if this process could convert some of this shitty nic I have into nice, smooth nic salts. Will post back.

Question for you fruity-custard fiends: My son has decided he loves Cromwell's Custard, and he wants a repeat on it, but in addition to that, he wants a pineapple and berry version, too.

I hate pineapple and I for sure hate berries, so can y'all give me some recommendations as to which kinds of berries would go best with pineapple?

Thanks!

damn that's a high flavor percentage! If i'm not too lazy, i might mix it up this weekend.
I mix at 19% & although some would say it's high, it IS all TFA & CAP & I mix max VG, so I need all the boost I can get.
Hopefully using the 10% Sweet Strawberry, you'll actually taste the strawberry. I know I do.

Pineapple custard? I hope you slapped him.

For a strawberry custard, add 4% CAP sweet strawberry and 4% TFA strawberry ripe.
another option is 1.5% INW shisha strawberry + 2% RF SC strawberry.

I like pineapple mixed with peach. I have several brands of each flavor but I'd say my favorite combo would be FLV Peach & CAP Golden Pineapple.

Well, I don't know. I hate pineapple. Maybe for discussion's sake we can pretend it's pineapple cake. :eek:

Add like 4% TFA dragonfruit, and maybe like 1% or so of INW shisha strawberry, I'm limited to what I can vape when it comes to custards, but dragonfruit is nice with it.

It hasn't happened yet, but tonight I am planning to mix 30ml of Big Red, 30ml of Cherry Hound, 30ml of Skittles, 60ml of Cromwell's Custard Plus, and 2 testers of Tropical Cooler. I am also going to work some more on this Orange Creamsicle tester that I'm trying to turn into an Orange Cream Cookie. Can't seem to get it to taste like sweet orange to save my life.

There's some good berry medleys out there. I prefer Caps Harvest Berry. But FA Forrest Fruit is a good one too. Purilum Berry Harvest is a candy tasting berry/fruit mix.
My favorite Pineapple is Purilum Golden. I only have that, Inawera, and Capella. Alot of people say SC and Hangsen make the best. I have them on the way cuz I love me some pineapple.

Mustard Milk is good. I've vaped it a bunch. That Peanut Butter Cookie is the shit! I couldn't put it down lastnight.
I know right. Totally lucked out and got something I really like first few days of mixing. I can finally save money and try new things without too much regret. and I haven't had a smoke today :D

Cap- Sweet Tangerine, FW- Blood Orange, and FE- Sweet Orange can help you :).

FW Blood Orange is where I'm headed with it tonight, plus a little bit of sweetener. I'd only planned to use 1% of the Blood Orange, since I read in reviews that it's very strong. What's your opinion? I want the orange to be definitely there, but not overpowering.

Thats a good plan. You can always bump it up, but cant take it out. I usually use 3-4% in mixes.

This mix already has 8% of Cap Orange Creamsicle in it, and I can hardly taste or smell the orange at all. I don't want it to wham me over the head when it finally does show up, though. Thanks again!

A big part of creating recipes is creativity and imagination. I never thought to try a PBC but loved them growing up.

Hey, wonder if it's possible to put together a Pecan Shortbread? Cap Sugar Cookie, Butter, Bavarian Cream, Pecan, maybe even Meringue and a little sweetener? What do you think? Then add CHOCOLATE! Oh Jeez!

I had already assembled this, just haven't mixed it yet. Want to make it a "Nutella Shortbread" when other flavors arrive.

Butter (TPA) 1.00%
Cream Cheese Icing (LA) 2.00%
Double Chocolate (Clear) (TPA) 2.50%
French Vanilla (VW) 1.00%
Meringue (TPA) 0.75%
Pecan (TPA)1.00%
Sugar Cookie V1 (CAP) 3.00%

ETA: Actually think the French Vanilla is a better choice than the Bavarian Cream, and I'd add 1% of sweetener to it. Maybe even up the chocolate to 3 or 3.25%.
ETA2: Ok, I'm thinking out loud, so y'all don't mind me. Butter is too heavy, needs to go down to 0.6%, first mix should be without chocolate. Need to get the cookie itself right and not drown it with chocolate. Cut icing back to 1.25%, pecan up to 1.25%. I'll mix this a little later and see.

Butter (TPA) 0.60%
Cream Cheese Icing (LA) 1.25%
French Vanilla (VW) 2.00%
Meringue (TPA) 0.75%
Pecan (TPA) 1.25%
Sugar Cookie V1 (CAP) 4.00%
Sweetener 0.60%

Mixed up a a 30ml Peanut Butter Cookie with the help of @Just Frank gonna scale it and do a 120ml asap excellent S&V

TFA Peanut Butter 4%
CAP Sugar cookie 4%
Marshmellow 1%

I also mixed up a 30ml of Fuji Apple at 4% I haven't tried it yet.

Any comments on what 1% Brown Sugar might add to or take away from this? It sprang to mind when I was entering the recipe into ELR.

Anyone ever tried this? I got it a while ago during a flavor buying rampage, but never tried it. It's made by TFA.

It should go well with it IMO. The PB BS Cookie recipe I have in rotation right now has 1% of Brown Sugar in the mix:

PB BS Cookie
2.00% Butterscotch DX (TFA)
2.00% Sugar Cookie (Real Flavors)
1.50% Peanut Butter (Real Flavors)
1.00% Brown Sugar DX (TFA)
0.50% Vienna Cream (FA)
0.25% 0.9% Saline

This recipe is getting tweaked next time I mix it to be all RF brand concentrates as I finally ran out of the TFA Butterscotch, Vienna Cream and Brown Sugar.

Keep at it, man! Just remember, we all hit our bumps in the road. Don't let it discourage you when it happens.

Pineapple custard? I’m not so sure about that one....never tried it. Fa juicy strawberry at 2% maybe? Pineapple makes me think Pina colada, not custard.:D

Definitely needs a name.....mines still steeping!

Are you talking about the caramel butter one? Even after a full steep, I have to say I changed my mind and the caramel custard v1 is better, that caramel butter didn't help anything

The v1 tastes pretty good immediately, too!

Oh dear! The caramel butter one. I’ll have to mix up the other one for comparison. Drat!

Ok....I give up. I can’t find the v1 version. I went back 10 pages. Can you indulge me and repost the recipe? I know I wrote it down somewhere.....unfortunately don’t know where that somewhere is......
