I think they mean, for example, peppermint should read Peppermint and MIXED BERRIES should be Mixed Berries. It junks up the database with incorrect names.

Funny enough, i typed Peppermint with a capital P and the drop down menu offered that one as the one to pick. I never type in bold unless i want to crap somebody out on social media platforms or through personally related texts, so again that is what was offered by the “stash” drop down menu as an option.

Alright @KAPOW I see what’s going on, and it’s somewhat confusing.
At first glance, the things that stand out are the WS-23 doesn’t have a MFG name, Menthol Liquid is lower case, and appears non valid, MIXED BERRIES is in all caps, which again, appears non-valid, and peppermint is all lowercase, which appears non-valid.
With the menthol liquid, it actually IS legit, BUT, the correct format would be the third choice, i.e. Menthol Liquid (PG) (TPA).
With the FA Peppermint, the correct choice would be the third choice, i.e. Peppermint (Mild Winter) (FA).
Now with the WS-23, that flavor is train wrecked on ELR, because even without a MFG name, the one you used has also been used 10,924 other times !!! I’m not even sure which one IS correct, as I don’t use cooling agents.
And finally, the Capella Mixed Berry (not berries) was just a typo …
As a GENERAL rule, when searching for a flavor, the most used (most times) is the accurate one. I’m sure this seems like nit-picking, or a PITA, but imagine how many incorrect flavors are entered into the database. It adds up, and then it’s a total mess.

You should really read and follow the instructions in the link below, which WAS not written by me. In the recipe you posted, there are 3 possibly 4 changes you should make.

My pleasure @KAPOW. Now the Peppermint !!! You’re going to HATE THIS.
I tried by entering “Peppermint”, and “peppermint”, and guess what ?? NO choice for the correct Flavor Art flavor, NONE !!!
Now, I used a trick that I use, which was I entered “Peppermint FA”, and low and behold, NOW it showed up !!!
I know, I know. How the #%$^#$%$^& is anyone supposed to know, or remember all of this LOL.
Typically when I enter flavors, I’ll enter the flavor name, and then the MFG abbreviation like I just showed, to help out. I can’t answer why the correct flavor did NOT appear when only entering “peppermint”.

Stash updated accordingly and recipe adjusted, does this look better?

… the forum script capture of the tiny URL doesn’t, but the recipe actually does

Hehe, yeah, I don’t know how often (if ever) the forum software pulls a FRESH LOAD, as opposed to the cached copy.

There was a time not too long ago that the flavor police went on a Spanish Inquisition-type campaign to get the database cleaned up.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but for renegades such as myself who often use other-than-mainstream flavor houses, it was a nightmare. I found it helpful to be preemptive and include a direct link to the flavor in the flavor notes, knowing that most will likely not take the time to research a flavor like SD did above.
Hope this helps

Just to be clear the Wicks Bubblegum (LCL) entry on the recipe was corrected after I commented on the recipe in question

Indeed it was Rocky. The original is also legitimate, Wicks Bubblegum Flavour (ZAC) – Boss Vape
There were no matches in the database for it. I don’t want to create a furore over this as i understand that there are flavours made by local, smaller flavour houses which might not be on the ELR database. It would be nice if members commenting on my recipes could check themselves before asking me to correct ingredient names.

The original entry on the recipe was an invalid flavor:
The recipe has since been corrected, feel free to delete the comments under recipe if you desire.

I have updated my stash and have now tried to be as true as the database will allow me to be. I could have just chosen database compliant flavours for the recipes that ive posted but that wouldnt exactly be authèntic IMO. I will try puchasing and using flavours from internationally reputable flavour houses in the future.
