Yeah sammy13 I can relate to everything you've just said.

I also used to absolutely love butterscotch (ready-made), then went completely off it, and since then I've had problems trying to find the right juice that I can say I absolutely adore. I thought I had that all day vape with the double cream, then found it quite sickly after vaping it for a while, so can only vape it for a very short while now, and maybe add a small amount to other mixes.

I'm also finding that most flavours are not sweet enough for me, so I'm now gonna start adding some ethyl maltol to them and then see if they become more palatable to save me throwing loads of juice out.

I know you have to experiment, but jeeze I would have thought I could have vaped most of them so as not to waste too much, but heck no, you sit there with a juice in the tank half heartedly or begrudgingly taking a puff or two till you just can't take any more of the stuff - yuck - and then give up with that flavour thinking I'll try it again later, but you don't coz even the thought of it puts you off

It also annoys me when I hear other peeps really enjoying a particular flavour, so I go and buy it, and then I hate it grrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've done all that toots.
A couple I've put the protank straight in the sink in hot water, and put the head in the bin, new and all it was so bad.
Others I have puffed on hoping but nope - its horrid, off down the sink we go.
I can't go back to a flavour either, if I don't like it, I don't like it, I will never go back.

sammy13 it's 15% t juice colonel custard, 10% flavourart banana and 1% perfumers appreciate sweetener with a few drops of vape wizard. First time mixing this one so I'll tell you if it's any good in a month lol. Here's hoping though
Thee snickers one seems like it's going to be a winner. I tried a few drops in a dripper earlier to see if the balance was right and it tastes just like snickers ice cream which is more or less what I was going for. A couple more weeks steeping to get all the flavours to bind and it should be spot on.

toots have you tried flavourart Cornish cream tea? If you like strawberries and cream it would be worth trying. I really like it anyway but that's not to say anyone else will. Hope your new concentrates suit you better

teethcv the banana custard need to steep for at least 2 weeks and preferably longer so it's not being vaped yet

Have you tried the banana on its own?
I was wondering if it is a sweetie type banana or a banana that you eat type?

I've had a few juices that I went off too and mixed them together over the weekend it's vape able though not my favourite. I have only had a couple of mixes that I didn't like at all and they all had liquorice in seems I don't like to vape that though I love the sweets.

[erik514]

Yep I have tried it. When it's new it's definitely a sweetie taste. Just like those banana shaped things you probably remember as a kid. If it steeps a while it improves a lot though and loses a bit of that. I know folks say fruit flavours don't need a long steep but I find with FA fruits they all benefit from as long a steep as possible. Banana is also a possible tank cracker as well although I haven't heard of the FA one doing it it's best to be a bit cautious maybe

Do you know of a banana that tastes like the fruit, more dry rather than a sweetie?

Does anybody have a recipe for Chorley/Eccles cakes? Just something I may have a go at soon. Thanks.

No sorry.  Flavourart fruit flavours are the best I have tried so far.  Not so artificial as some but don't taste completely natural either

Can't help with a recipe @munkymunky . . . but maybe a combination of Capella Cake Batter & TPA Pie Crust for the pastry base. Possibly some plum for the fruit filling?

[Deleted]

Thank you, I hope it will be ok with a currant/plum/raisin flavour. It was a just something I hadn't seen anywhere, again many thanks Perpetua

[Perpetua]

I haven't found a nice, authentic raisin/currant concentrate yet @munkymunky, so plum has been the next best option for me . . . if you do find something better, you'll have to give a heads up please.

Don't buy . . . CCW's Christmas Cake, DV's Christmas Pud or TPA's Raisin. All have been rather disappointing for me anyway @munkymunky.
