I’m personally not a fan of sweeteners. They always make mixes taste like that diet soda aftertaste, to me. I find other ways to add sweetness, w/o adding a true sweetener. Marshmallow is 1 example of a flavor that’ll add some sweetness w/o changing the flavor profile very much

I’d probably start at around 5%, and adjust to your preference
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Very good flavor, super versatile.
I personally use it anywhere from 1.5% (as a back note or sweetener as @Gambit117 recommend) to 5% for a cookie profile.

so it will be like:
1.5% or 5% sugar cookie cap

I’m a big fan of the cookie aspect that flavor adds. If you’re just looking for the sweetness, do as @VapeyMama suggests and keep the percentage lower

Yep either! Or make both, one with 1.5% and one with 5%! They’ll definitely be different flavor profiles. With it low I would imagine a creamy cheesecake with cookie crust, and with it higher it will probably be more like creamy iced cookie.

Glad to help, good luck on your mix. Look forward to hearing your thoughts when it’s ready 
Here’s another opinion.
9% CAP VC1 is not altogether a bad thing. Certainly it doesn’t offer a chemical taste after a good steep, say 1 month at least. That is merely my opinion, but I do know a large number of people who would agree. However, VC can be considered a “heavy” flavor that benefits from accompanying, lighter flavors to add balance. FA Cream Fresh is very good for that. Likewise, VC1 can be a great flavor to add depth to other creams. Here are some other flavors that work well with VC1 -
Vanilla Swirl
Vanilla Ice Cream
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Italian Cream
Vienna Cream
Sweet Cream
Bavarian Cream
There are many others, but you get the picture. VC is great, but it does tend to shine best when accompanied by another creamy flavor. In terms of layering flavor, you can consider these pairings as your custard or cream base. Establish that (e.g., 5% CAP VC1 and 3% TPA Bavarian Cream), then you have a foundation from which to add fruits or other flavors. Again - all my opinion. I think the custard guru @Ken_O_Where might argue with me over VC1 needing help, not sure 
If you haven’t checked out this thread, I would recommend it. You may find some inspiration and certainly plenty of opinions

It’s the flavor art champagne type pg. But yeah i assumed some of that was the “alcohol flavor” of the fuzzy navel " but most was probably the champagne taking over

Hi folks, this is my first post and I’m sharing the only decent recipe that I’ve made as a very new DIYer.
I’m just wondering if anyone can help me improve or remix my Green Apple BubbleGum recipe as I thought it was pretty good… that was until I tried some of the top rated recipes here and realized that my first DIY ADV could probably be improved greatly.
I’ve only just bought some recommended flavors from A Beginner's Guide To Making The Most Highly-Rated Recipes
“An Economical First Order”. Previous to these purchases I’ve been struggling away using NicVape’s DIY Adventure Kit and the 10 flavors that I chose with the kit.
Appreciate anyones thoughts…

I’m not familiar with the flavors you’ve got there, so I’ll just bump this in case someone else can help you out.
And welcome to the forum, James!

Thanks Underanne.
I’ve gone back to this mix as my adv. I just love it. Was just curious if someone out there has their own apple bubblegum recipe or could improve mine.
This is all that matters

@Cidz what is the goal here with the Menthol? It seems maybe you’re looking to add a cooling feel to the mix, yes? People rave about Koolada from TPA but I’ve never messed with it so can’t be any help. But it’s reported to provide the cooling sensation without adding flavor.
As the the rest - well again I’ve not had a flavor. Harvest Berry. The Strawberry Ripe percentage is fine though.
So, it’s missing something you say. What is missing? If we knew where you wanted to go with this it would help.

@Grugs83, if you don’t find people here with experience using those flavors, what you’ll need to do is test them individually. Does the manufacturer have and recommended mixing percentages? If so, that may be a decent place to start. Mix them as single flavors. Test right after mixing, then 3 days, 1 week, and weekly up to about 6 weeks max. Most fruites and candies though have done what all they’re going to do within a week. Bakery flavors tend to develop in a week to 10 days. Custards and creams, 3-4 weeks, and tobaccos, chocolates, coffees and teas in 4-6 weeks. These are only guidelines and several flavors within each category will have longer or shorter steep times needed.
Once you figure out each flavor and how it tastes you should have a better understanding of where to start on your next attempt. These flavors may be exactly what you want to use, but you may find you need to adjust their percentages.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help than this.
