I followed the recipies as precisely as I can ( with a scale )

Steve, you commented you loved this one you sure this is the correct one ? I mean for my tastes I prefer not to ever go over 3% for VBIC ( vanilla bean ice cream TFA ) itās just one that doesnāt really benefit to go that high if you feel at 3 % you canāt get what you want out of VBIC then add an additional cream or vanilla this is what we call layering and it usually happens at much lower % over flavoring is just as bad as under flavoring itās a rule of thumb type of learning trickā¦
Now I am nooot trying to be crude but thereās several things about this recipe that leads me to believe this is a " noobie mix " itās ok we all have to start some where and I do like the idea of a BB vanilla ice cream ā¦
Blueberry Extra while itās a great flavor it isnāt that great at 10% dial it back down to around 3-5% but keep it thereā¦here goes the layering talk againā¦since it isnāt that great and it doesnāt really make a great profound note even at higher %s add in an additional Blueberry or a dark berry to help boost the notes come in a lil lower w/ the secondary flavor you just want to " fluff " the berry note and help support your BB Extra.
Marshmallow- it is a great flavor it can add sweetness it can add marshmallow but too high it mutes and gives off an artifical flavoring that isnāt desirable I would keep it below 1.50% FA Marshmallow is one of the few that can pull off using it at 1.5% but not TFA it gets funky.
Speaking of FUNKY well Cake Batter Caps is that itās just a funky weird artifical flavor that even I have learned less is way better than more of itā¦keep it in the drawer is the best thing but if itās your only batter for now keep it in the 1-2% and hope that it doesnāt become the top note way off in the background not too terrible but up high it is weird.
So all in all it may not necessarily be your mixes as much as it is you knowledge of the flavorsā¦this is key learn the flavors make small batches if you go off the suggested ratios that way you can learn example ( BB Extra 10% is not good needs an additional BB to support it ) if you only made 5 or 10 mls not to bad and you learn a lot of lessons about the mix.
If I were to do this mix it would look more like this
BB Extra TFA 4%
VBIC TFA 2.3%
MM TFA 1%
I personally would not put that cake batter in there
If you have additional flavors then add those like
BB Jam Caps 1.25%
Biscuit INW 0.5%
I hope this helps I mean no dis-respect it takes a big person to show their work I commend you !
As for the yogurt mix I feel itās a preference issue much like the VBIC both of these flavors to me and may be to you as well arenāt as attractive up that highā¦I look right at that second recipe and right away i know I wonāt vape it since I donāt appreciate that much yogurt in my mixes. you could adapt that one and try to see if you like yogurt around 1-2% then if itās weak increases it lil by lil then youāll find out if itās for you. I personally canāt take it that high w/o the entire juice being very sour and smelling like puke.

I think you may not like 8% yogurt it aināt for everyoneā¦try to adapt it and see if you like it around 1-2% and I bet you will feel differentā¦also steep that juice at least 2-3 weeks
Also the Blue moo one to me is a great WIP keep at it and perfect it !
Amy
I just read your reply I totally get what you are saying about laying
and using less can be better then high % that was the first time I used my yogurt just recently got it had no idea how it would taste it did over power the key flavor notes a lot

No problem I am sure many ppl would look at the recipe and have their own opinions. I know some may talk about the sweetener and while yes that is a touchy topic some love them some loath themā¦point is if youāre just coming off smoking you may need the extra sweetness I know I did for a long while so I canāt say itās the super sweet I used that one for ages ā¦Iām glad I could help 
and Happy New Years !

I say I aināt going back trust me we all have urges I just donāt even play that gameā¦I immediately change the way I think when I think one sounds good bc I know it doesnāt itās the chemicals that weāre addicted to. So many ppl think itās the nicotine when we clearly get enough nicotine in our vapes. I just increase my nicotine if I need to right now I use 3mg/ ml that is really a low mg. I can not stand to smell a cigarette so I know I would not enjoy it at all. Keep on keepinā on is all it takes ! Youāll get there and if the urges never go away never give in but I have more day where I donāt think of one than the opposite so thatās a great thing !

we can never just have one I know I canāt , But since vaping I donāt miss it as much as I thought I would I learned to hate cigarettes plus vaping and DIY is a lot of work
and it keeps my mind off smoking between building and mixing and DIY research etc
I forget all about smoking like you said if I need to i just bump up the nic % Iām at 12mg started at 18mg when I quit smoking, the challenge for me is to take the leap and drop it down like 6mg that ā¦ will be another accomplishment 
oh hey Iām up to 87 flavors in my stash just had 14 come in today

You are absolutely correct no just one thinkingā¦I couldnāt do it when I drank and couldnāt do it w/ smoking glad I gave both of them up.
DIYān and vaping saved my life for multiple reasons donāt worry about stepping your nicotine down do it gradually and you wonāt miss it for some reason going under 5mg was so incredibly hard for me I did the last couple step downs months in between and I only rarely make a juice w/ a 1mg increase but that is usually not an ADV style juice just a strong hit then put it up kinda thing.
Keep growing and watering your stash itāll sprout just keep in mind everything is not good again w/ the research and learning the flavors talk but there are a lot of flavors that I own that I rarely use I prob use the same 50-100 flavors the most and then the other 650 just sit there waiting for me to use themā¦I wonāt be re buying them once iāve finished the duds theyāll be gone.
I tried it yesterday i mixed a 30 ml batch and told myself alright now I start lowering the nic when it came time to mix in the nic I chickened out and mixed 12 told my self nope not yet Steve maybe next time it was funny

Hey since your are a nurse have you ever talked to a DR. about vaping ?

Your not ready thenā¦ give it time. I even did tricks where I made a bunch of batches and at the end when I poured the nicotine in I may cheat myself and pour less in certain bottles so that I actually was vaping a lower nicotine level that a way it was a conscious thing and I was not sure which one I did it on so that worked too but it was only a lil off not like I snuck in a whole mg lower or anything.
@ringling has a great mentality on lowering your nic step by step I wish I could find where he has written it several times.
I like that good Idea, I was thinking of mixing like 10 mil at like 6 or 8 and make it an ADV for one day and stick with it and see what happens I might be ok or be a raving homicidal maniac it would be interesting
