..? Premixing! and Cream Base Discussion

@ozo

I began using it when it came out, as an alternative because it was new…and strawberry’s can be ‘iffy’ sometimes.
Not sure where the sweetness is coming from yet, but it is kickin’ ass and takin’ names.

. I will have to try this one out. I appreciate it ozo!

@ozo

I always use more than one strawberry ANYTIME I use a strawberry, but whatever I am doing is working. Doubt I will stop using it. Yes, it is Capella.

It’s much more of a flavorful experience, of course!
I’ve heard a lot of great things about MF as well. I need to
check them out at some point. have you tried their sb?

@ozo

@Nicotine_River always has it in stock…and I only buy it in 4oz size…'cause I love it.

Haha yep! Grant’s a good guy. I need to set up another order with them sometime!

@ozo

I used juice-me-up before I knew about ELR, and thought it was the cat’s meow.

ELR [at the time] gave me warp speed with the additional tools. I shall remain loyal for the elevated format that ELR offered me…for free…and for months I never even knew ELR had a social forum.

I’m really happy that you found this place home through your searches. There’s really nothing like it!

@ozo

There are more tools on ELR than I know of anywhere else for the DIY vaping community. I also recommend users donate a little. I keep trying to donate kittens, mustangs, burros, reptiles, etc…but Lars @daath keeps telling me “not at this time, it’s not needed”…so you may wish to try another type of donation, eh?

Haha . Have you tried sloths? I would love to give a donation soon though. This site has helped me out tremendously.

@mikelej14

I did consider saying that also, being that it is FA, and a cream at that, 3% is probably pushing it for sure, but as I haven’t any first hand experience to know 100% for sure, I kept my hole shut on it haha.

Haha. I’ve tried to be careful with my FA %'s. I probably did push it quite a bit.
At the time it seemed like a great idea, but I think that my taste receptors were
out of place, and my exhaustion had the best of me at 3am.

I was actually going for an equivilent of a 9-10% cream base so that I would be
able to mix it all together at either 90% or 100% for a quicker mix the next time
(modeled after previous pre-mixed bases) which I overviewed the previous nights.

But you’re absolutely right… FA flavors should be accounted for in their %'s!

@fidalgo_vapes

and its a pretty strong cream , im starting to dial things back when it comes to creams

Absolutely! & It should be better to dial the creams back to lower that effect of vapor’s tounge…
I’ll have to try it out that way. I’ve always felt the need to put more than I should be at times.

@fidalgo_vapes

its so importantvto knownif its a heavy or light cream and like ozo said what undertones

That has been really helpful to see it that way in creating a structured mix.
I’m grateful that @ozo dropped knowledge about seeing it in that way.

@fidalgo_vapes

vienna cream fa with fresh cream or cream whipped makes a nice cream and at low percents

It seemed that CAP whipped cream left my mouth dry at one point of using in a test…although,
it does seem sweeter than TFA’s.

I also think that I used too many “light” creams at one point which gave that same affect at that time.
It left my mouth all foamy. But then again, I used marshmallow, vanilla whipped, and fresh cream in
the variation. Its probably the same reason why I felt that way about marshmallow “muting” other flavors.

Too much is too much though. lol. you live and you learn.

@ozo

Stevia doesn’t gunk coils like sucralose…not if it is pure leaf extract with no additives except VG.

My sucralose has just been sitting there. lol. I don’t think I will probably toutch it again.

& That’s great to know. I don’t think sucralose can be processed by the body, so
somebody said in another thread.

How do you feel about monk fruit? Do you use it?

@fidalgo_vapes

marshmallow @ 1.5
meringue @ 1.25

I’ll try that one out brother. I appreciate it!

@fidalgo_vapes

and sincebi posted about pyure the other day i have now decided to not use any sweetners at all i get a nasty aftertaste but it will sweeten up a juice quick if i cant get my juice sweet enough with the flaves than back to the drawing board for me

Yeah it’s just not too great. Some people can handle it better than others though.

@fidalgo_vapes

i have been killing juices lately with over doing itbon creams that is the only reason i could comment lol

Your help has really been appreciated. It’s great to talk to people like this, since mixing
can be really tedious and work its way into minutia at times.

@fidalgo_vapes

vienna is awesome but so strong yout recipe has inspired me to do either a vanilla almond milk or a coconut vanilla almond milk i love almonds and actually forget i have them in my stash so ty for the inspiration

It really is. lol. & let me know how it works out! I’d like to try out
the recipe when you work everything out. an almond milk variation
sounds really, really good.

I have FA’s coconut, and it’s really not very palatable for me.
It was one of the first flavors that I picked up actually.

If I can recall, it tasted very earthy… like the shell. It may be good
to mix with another coconut though in a variation. & Thank you
for the input!

@xvw

How do you feel about monk fruit? Do you use it?

I did, and it worked fine… I just get 10x the mileage out of the stevia stone, plus some added smoothness.
