Help me dream up some flavors

[Mediocre00Rebel]

I got a bunch of 10ml flavors on the way and possibilities are endless. Caramel banana cream, fruit flake cream, blueberry cupcake, iced tropical fruit punch, fruit cookie, fruit creme cookie, fruit and cream... Caramel cream custard, strawberry shortcake.... I'm just thinking but I'm not really being too creative with the names lol. Help me come up with random stuff or share some that you've made. If you got one and it isn't the same flavor brand share it anyway, I know they vary in taste but I just wanna hear ideas.

No more ideas, but two comments.
Your TFA Ripe Banana is super potent, like < 1% and
your FW Yellow cake is a coil gunker. Great flavor but has fructose (sugar) I still use it sparingly.

I made one... I'm going to let steep but being impatient as I am I had to taste it. It's 7% blueberry extra and 1% Tahitian vanilla cream..(i know I gotta let it steep!)...aaaaand...... It tastes like!!!! ... Cocoa puffs. Lmao wth. Dead serious. It tastes like I just ate a cocoa puff, not as sweet but yeah. Blueberry? no. Cocoa puff? Apparently.

I seen a few people say that ethyl maltol wasn't really worth using. I disagree! I added it to a strawberry I made last week that was pretty lacking, it did give it a little pop. I actually added 1% to all my juices from last week. Immediately after adding it I didn't notice much except for the flavor seemed to be a little bolder. A few hours later I tried again and they actually taste sweeter. It's not as sweet as I'm after, but now they went from totally bland to something I'm okay with.

Waiting for bottles and more flavors. I can't wait, in gonna try fruity flakes and tahitian cream, the tahitian vanilla cream has a very nice dairy flavor going on that I bet only gets better with time. I got some cap super sweet so I can finally sweeten my flavors without watering them down. The one named Sweetener flavor is really weak, I believe the ethyl maltol helped bring out the sweetness more but it's still not enough.

I wanna do a blueberry extra, sweet hibiscus maybe with a bit of super sour.

I made a wild cookie flavor, I'm trying to clone or make something better than sadboy unicorn tears. I went high on the flavor percentages to experimented with how it'll turn out, and because I'm trying to copy a commercial flavor. I know people look down on using a bunch of different flavors, but nobody is stopping anyone from getting creative. I can't wait to see how this turns out in a couple weeks. The sweetener looks high, but that's the weak sweetener flavor. I didn't write in the full flavor names because this was just more for my reference. That is ethyl maltol too, not just maltol.

My cap super sweet isn't gonna be here till Monday.... I thouroughly believe that all my juices are totally muted because they're missing the sweetener. I've tried them all stand alone and they aren't bad, but they also don't have much of any flavor profile. And once again, I dripped them into my atomizer with my super sweet commercial liquid, and bam. They're amazing and delicious. I can't wait to get the super sweet, I think that's gonna be the magic ingredient.

I can't help but feel this forum is really empty. I see so many posts from 2014-15 when vaping was peak popularity. Then there's people who have been using this forum for years and something just seems odd. I can't help but say the quiet part out loud. I feel like some of the most active members maybe kind of drive new people away. Instead of a community it feels more like a small club or something. Not that people aren't nice, it's just the same people just really dominate the forums. I can only speak for myself but I can't help but feel sort of unwelcome. Especially because there's never really any activity besides the same small group of people. Whatever tho I guess. I'll just use this for a while since my subscription got auto renewed on me and it's nice to not have adds and Its got a lot of good archived information, it's just pretty dead.

Hmmm?

i'll agree that the forum is pretty dead. imo, that can be attributed, somewhat at any rate, to most of us being stocked up on gear & supplies and sort of hunkered down. Also, perhaps, while the manufacturers are definitely trying, there's not a whole lot of innovation happening in the industry and there's only so much a person can talk about the same stuff.

Regarding the same small group of people dominating, in my experience it's like that for every internet forum. And every church, homeowners' association, and about any group of volunteers. Just seems to be the way things always shake out.

As far as feeling unwelcome, gotta say that my experience was & is exactly the opposite. i'm not a long-time vaper and joined here about 3 years ago. i was made to feel welcome immediately and -- not being one of that small & dominant group -- that hasn't changed. Folks here are not only nice, which you said, but also supportive, kind, and gracious. There are exceptions to every rule but that's been my general impression consistently.

i'm sorry to hear that you feel as you do. Your feeling is valid. Let me say, however, that as with most of life's experiences, your experience here is in large part what you make of it. i'll do what i can to help make it more positive and am sure others will, too.

Finally got my sweetener! I'm actually way more surprised with the results than what I initially expected. I added some to my juices, I have a bottle labeled "?" I decided to add to my clean fresh tank. I can taste it now! Amazing what sweetener can do. It really does taste like I'm eating a real pineapple. Couldn't taste it without the sweetener but it's actually super tart and acidic like real pineapple. Wow that's wild. The flavor itself is still a little weak I think, but I really taste it now. The strawberry pops now too.

OMG I CAN TASTE ALL MY FLAVORS NOW. I got this caramel cream cookie I did, it actually tastes like an amaretto cookie. Interesting. It's been about a week but I can let it steep longer and see what happens.

I went to go add a little more sweetener to my bottle and the sour was sitting next to it. I though the sweetener made the sour flavor more potent, until I looked down and saw the bottles were sitting in very close proximity. Lol

I've been vaping my diy all day. It's tasting sweet to me now, and the flavors are all mellow yet very pleasant. I switched my tank back to commercial liquid to try and pallet cleanse, and it's all sugar. Now I see why people hate this stuff. This is a flavor I previously enjoyed. Now it tastes sickly sweet and the only other flavor I'm really picking up on is sour, like an off milk type sour. It's supposed to be a custard cookie commercial flavor. More like sweetened sour milk. almost get a floral note too? Wth. I'm gonna experiment at some point and cut 5ml of it by 50% with VG/pg add back a tiny bit of nicotine and let it steep to see what happens.
