What do you guys think is the best "gummy" flavoring to make gummy bears flavors? I have CAP 27 Bears, FA Candy Wiz, and RFSC Taffy Base, but I can't seem to get it where I want it. I was thinking of going with WF Gummy Worm Candy or RFSC Gummy Candy or WF Gushers, but if someone has an idea on which way to go, let me know.

Allured by Chef's sale on ODF i bought the watermelon and the grape (Rave reviews about them..) weelll..
The watermelon is not bad even better then FA's, on SFT at 3 % is bit rindy and you can feel the green but with a good red part, not bad..
The grape… good grief at 2.5 % is unvapable, confirming how subjective tastes are, they were raving about it at 6%!!! I can't believe it..
I'll put it there and see after a couple of weeks how it behaves but… doubt it'll improve.. the volatiles will go and it'll be mellow but it's not an improvement
This is strange because on the knuckle test tasted good, might have to go @1% and wait for a week (or more..) anyone else tried ODF? RF's PG line..

Quite a few of us bought odf flavors last year. I have I think about a half dozen of their flavors, but have hardly used them. One of the members here did extensive testing and a very good write-up of all their flavors, but that post I'm sure is buried in the diy section somewhere. I can't remember now which member it was.

Thank you, saw it, it's by @eStorm I know him and can trust him enough, I personally doubt the Grape will "ever" fade.. :giggle: The watermelon might, but definitely right, tons of sugars in them..
Did RF think of matching the PG line to the VG line sweetness? who knows..

I do have one recipe using their Custard that I really like, and have mixed several times. Have used strawberry and vanilla occasionally as boosters to other similar flavors. Haven't used the grape at all, but now that you've told me it's got some oomph to it, I very well may. I like grape that is undoubtedly "there." lol

For RF I think the SC line is where it is at. None of the RF line is vg afaik. It's the NorthWest line that is VG flavors. It's called NW by RF kind of like ODY by RF except for VG.

That looks really good. If you are going to measure in drops and post a recipe, mention what size bottle you are mixing. 8 drops in 10ml is much different than 8 drops in a 60ml, or even 30. To be completely honest, it doesn't really affect any of us how you mix, but the best way to do it is by weight on a scale or by volume in syringes. Being new, it will make everything so much easier for you down the line.

I have this orange cream recipe, an adaptation of Five Pawns Queenside clone I found on e-liquid-recipes last year. I'll take a shot at adapting it to drops (for 30 ml). I use 44 drops as equal to 1 ml - that was the approximation I always used when mixing directly out of mostly 10 and 15 ml flavor bottles.

Blood Orange (Natural) (FW) 40 drops 3.12%
French Vanilla Deluxe (TPA) 40 drops 3.12%
Lemonade (Natural) (FW) 14 drops 1.11%
Orange Creamsicle (CAP) 25 drops 1.78%
Orange Mandarin (TPA) 40 drops 3.12%
Shisha Vanilla (INAWERA) 40 drops 3.12%
Super Sweet (CAP) 16 drops 1.34%
Vanillin 10% (PG) (TPA) 25 drops 1.78%

Since the Blood Orange and the Orange Mandarin in this recipe use the same amounts, you could sub two of your oranges for these two, and use your Cap Orange Cream where I have used it. Won't be exactly the same, but I bet it would be good.

If you don't have a Lemonade flavor, use your Citrus soda in its place.

only 28 new flavors to test!!!! :headbang:

EDIT: scratch that, it's 29. I forgot Hangsen Virginia. If you can't tell, I really want to get into tobaccos. I made a really nice RY4 with some stixx mixx added in, but it's missing the ashy quality that I am hoping will make it taste less like wet tobacco. I know if that is added in it will be a+

I haven't tried other brands of those flavors. I really like my juice pretty sweet, so I use more Flavor West than a lot of people do. Also have had good results from TFA Mandarin Orange, so I just stick with it and it's a staple for me.

To add to the arsenal, well, here goes:

Chocolates: FA Chocolate and FA Cocoa, and Cap Chocolate Fudge Brownie, TFA Double Chocolate (Clear), Hangsen Australian Chocolate

Vanillas: TFA Vanilla Swirl, TFA French Vanilla Deluxe (which I think you said you already have), TFA Bavarian Cream, Inawera Shisha Vanilla, TFA Ethyl Vanillin, FA Custard, FA Vienna Cream, FLV Vanilla Pudding, Hangsen French Vanilla Ice Cream

Cookies: Cap Sugar Cookie and Inawera Shortbread. Also most people love FA Cookie. I don't but I'm the odd one out.

Mint: TFA Peppermint and possibly Koolada. I also love TFA Wintergreen, but it isn't for everyone.

FA Marshmallow is a great sweetener, also OOO Powdered Sugar, TFA Brown Sugar, Cap Super Sweet

Specialty flavors, I like these:

FW Hazelnut, Maple Pecan, Butter Pecan, Butterscotch (Natural), and Yellow Cake
TFA Pecan, Banana Nut Bread, Sweet Cereal Flakes, Cinnamon Red Hots, Cinnamon Spice, Grape Juice, Dragonfruit, Meringue, Pralines and Cream, Vanilla Cupcake
Cap Cinnamon Danish, Vanilla Whipped Cream, Cake Batter, Glazed Doughnut
FA Forest Fruit, Almond, Caramel, Nonna's Cake
LA Cream Cheese Icing
FLV Frosting, Pound Cake
Inawera Yes, We Cheesecake

Also, TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust is another flavor that is a staple for a lot of people. I don't care for it but a lot of people do.

Can't recommend strawberries, don't mix strawberry hardly ever, just not my thing.

FA or FLV Blood orange are both EXCELLENT
FA Tanger (mandarin) is excellent
not sure on the last one as far as an actual tangerine goes. FA makes great fruit stuff. Never had a bad one from them and I have many.
THANK YOU...
I find opinions from those you KNOW that ARE using the items in question
ALWAYS far out weighs noise one reads in the adds.

Nic River is now carrying MB flavors and in 15ml!!!!!!! I want to order 5 while the sale is going on. Cookie bite is one, I need 4 more. @wildgypsy70
And I am obviously too late.....sorry! I didn’t get a notification! You made good choices. Next time, go for Funky Pineapple, Big Watermelon, Red Cherry. The cherry is really nice....not medicinal at all.

Gotta go checkout that sale!

I'm using the sweet liquorice in low % not as a liquorice but as a sweetener/thickener.. for tobaccos.. didn't know about their cherry.. I'll try it next time, thank you!

They didn't have the red cherry, otherwise I'd have gotten that one. I have a bunch of watermelon's and a bunch of pineapple's that I like already.

On another note, someone show me some pod mixes please! I made one and I like it, but i'm thinking maybe I should boost the flavors up a bit more even.

View attachment 140747 I’m interested in a new MB flavor “Legendary Custard” for this recipe. I heard Chefs should be getting it soon.
I just opened the box from Molinberry.....

Legendary Custard has a very different smell than any other custard I’ve come across. Sweeter, less buttery. Like Nick said....tinned custard. I’m excited to sft this one. Really hoping Nic River gets it in so I can get a big bottle. :D More notes to follow when I give it a go!

I’m also looking forward to trying Pineapple Lassi and White Chocolate!

Nice haul!!! A word of advice....dilute that FA Honey. It’s super strong and will smell like cat piss if you use it undiluted. Do a 1ml honey/9 ml pg for a 10% dilution.

Mixed up Nickbrosia Custard. Omg......the Legendary custard is gonna be a game changer, I think. Also gonna mix Rose Milk Tea. Looks very interesting. And Gallagher’s.....cause that looks like a perfect Virginia weather vape.

Tested Strawberry Gooey Butter Cake. Definitely very nice. I may tweak it a bit, but I think it’s a winner.

I’m going to mix Gallagher’s in the next day or two. Want me to send you some?:)
Awww you’re such a sweetheart! I don’t want to put you out & make extra work for you. I truly appreciate the offer :hug:

When I mix it I’m going to have to use FLV Watermelon for now. I didn’t get the MB Big Watermelon cuz iirc I found the recipe than went to the hospital. Do you think it’ll be ok with the the FLV?

Nickbrosia is another one I want to mix but short of ordering from MB & I would if I had more than 2 flavors that I wanted I’ll have to wait until Chefsflavours gets it in.

Who’s recipe is Strawberry Gooey Butter Cake?

I really don’t mind at all! And I’m not 100% sure about the FLV....I don’t have it. Maybe a combo of Caps and FLV might do it? Or order the MB from Nic River.....
