Hi HIC I just made a mistake & ordered "Banana Pudding" thought I ordered FA banana, bit overwhelmed trying to buy flavors to make your yummy recipes. Can I substitute with another fruit? Like Lemon Sicily or Mango? Thanks!
Woooot! That's a great accomplishment! Are you feeling healthier?
I sent you a PM about banana pudding. (click the envelope icon in the upper-right corner of screen to see PMs)
Very glad to meet you here!

Lol! "HIC groupies"......(*steps in front of "I
HIC" bumper sticker and looks away*...).....
Welcome to the addiction of flavors and recipes!!! LOL I think I started making HICs recipes in July.......Haven't vaped any of my expensive juices since. Actually hoping to pawn many of them off to my brother because I haven't even looked at them in months. You'll love this group as they are so helpful and fun. Glad you found your way to the thread!

I found the recipe here in the recipes... Not sure how to link to it, I am on Tapatalk. The name of it is Semi's Jaffa Cake...
I made some today, it's steeping, but initial taste was awesome...
I am looking for a coffee vape too.. Hopefully we will come across one here in the DIY forum and share!
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I know I will love it & become an addict like everyone here!

@GingerVapes- thanks for the info on the Jaffa cake. I'll look for it. Also where in DC are you, if you don't mind me asking. I'm right in the "Metro area" in northern va. Very close to DC.

Vendor coffee flavors helped me quit smoking. I started DIY with coffees in mind, and FA's coffees made me a fan of FA. Mochas made with Tiramisu, flavored coffees with Espresso, dessert coffees, fluffy cappuccinos, milkshakes, coffee liqueur cocktails, cookies with coffee - I like so many! I consider anything with Irish Cream, Espresso, Cappuccino, or Tiramisu to be a "coffee flavor", and there's no end of possibilities with those 4.
These two very old recipes have helped some vapers make a tasty, sweet coffee vape:
http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-five-star-fancy-coffee-customizable.1827/
http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-five-star-tiramont-creamy-vanilla-coffee-milkshake.1855/
...or a strong one with none of the skunky flavor of other brands: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-kahlua.1850/
I think Irish Lass was my very first ever FA recipe, and it's still one I enjoy, either doubled-up on flavoring or the original lightweight version.
Halo Twisted Java, a caramel-peppermint-coffee vendor flavor, was my favorite vendor flavor ever. Both the Halo flavor and my (old, not FA) clone made me wheeze due to the diketones, but I found FA flavors and made many others to enjoy. Not long ago I vaped a little Halo and found out a lot of taste buds return after 2+ years without cigs. I still like the basic flavor combo, so I made a "Halo inspired" recipe with FA (Java Twist, in my store). Vaping it reminds me of all the reasons I DIY. That's my long-winded explanation of why it's currently my favorite coffee recipe.
I'm finding the same thing Stephanie, and I've only made a very few flavors so far. This weekend I've made a concentrated effort to vape some of the juices I have sitting in the drawer, but I keep going back to HIC's flavors. 
I've tasted the Mango Sticky rice and while I do like it I think it needs a little more steep time, funny thing in the dripper it tasted a lot different than in the SubTank on temp control. I like it much better in the dripper on Kanthal.

You are so right about the difference a tank and a dripper make. I'm finding that I'm not using my temp. control on many of my temp. control mods. The whole "nickel" stuff sort of scares me, but maybe I'm used to the kanthal and enjoy that flavor more.
I have three temp control mods now and the only one I'm using Ni200 coils on regularly is the SXMini, well I am using temp control on the Pegasus from today until my Saucecode arrives in a couple of days, then I'll go back to watts on it.
I went ahead and bought the Blueberry Muffin today even though I knew I didn't have all the flavors, but in a couple of weeks I'll get what I need for it.

Question, I just got the Matcha Ice Cream recipe & you're suppose to make a Fa Honey 10% dilution. So can I add 1 drop of honey to 10 drops of pg? Thanks!
As long as you can get it well-mixed, that'll work fine!
It's such a strong flavor, I nearly always use a 10% dilution.
Thanks HIC, I'm not very good in math lol. Can you recommend how much honey to pg to make 10%? 1 drop to 10 drops is a mighty small amount. I also got the Mango sticky rice, Vanilla silk pudding, Gooey coconut cookies. I'm gonna be busy, lol.
1 Honey, 9 PG gives you a 10% Honey dilution. (1 drop honey with 10 PG is close enough, if you already did that)
1 drop Honey with 9 drops PG is indeed a tiny amount; I find it hard to mix thoroughly with such a tiny bit.
You could use any multiple of that, like 3 drops Honey with 27 drops PG.
Or use ml instead, 0.1ml Honey with 0.9ml PG. Or 0.5ml Honey with 4.5ml PG, which is what I do.
All will give you 10% Honey, just different quantities of it. Label it "10% FA Honey" and keep it for other recipes. It'll "keep" same as any other flavoring, and it's handy to have that xxx-strong flavoring handy as a dilution.
Have fun with your projects today!

Hi HIC. Sorry for how that post/reply came out. I never meant to have it read "some". It made me sound like a real ______. I'll let you fill the blanks in but be nice please. As a matter of fact you have been on my mind lately. I really admire your knowledge. You are amazing! Then sharing your knowledge like you do is awesome. Not many now days do that. Thank you so much. I've learned a lot from you, the reading, and Mommaj's. It takes time for my brain to absorb it all. Every night I'm reading vape stuff and goofing around with my mods and liquids. It put me in the dog house a few times.-lol. Oh well I could have worse habits.
Thanks HIC! I'm el stupido. I just made Lemon torrone parfait & omg! You are my hero! You are a genius! Get ready for lots of praise as I make each one!

HIC I also wanted to ask you what the heck have you done to me? I've been vaping for atleast 5 years or so. You've turned me in to a mix monster. My hubby bought me some eliquid from a shop the other day and it was awful. I use to like it. Retrox stated it perfectly. It taste like "gas station candy/liquid" to me now. When I look at the bottle of liquid its horrible! The coloring,the odor,everything!! YUCKY. I'm very picky now when it comes to my vape liquid and equipment. Even though you turned me in to a mix monster I'm very grateful. At least now I know what's going in my body and I like that. Makes me feel much healthier. Thank you.

^^^^^^ This......
Yes, it's strange, it takes 5-6 days for my orders too , I'm in New Jersey, everyone else here seems to get theirs in 2 days.
Exxxxcellent! I think DIY is the ideal hobby for vapers, especially as regulation looms. I'm so glad we're all able to enjoy it together online! (p.s. I missed the "some" reference you thought might offend me, so I took no offense
I can't "like" a post where you insulted yourself, so I'll just leave out that part and say I'm glad you enjoy Lemon Torrone Parfait! It's a good example of why I prefer Lemon Sicily over every other lemon flavor out there...and why everyone "needs" FA Torrone.
Yes, it's in a recipe I'm vaping right now, a crazy snow cone mix.
TFA Citrus Punch = Mountain Dew. Do you do the Dew? (do you like that TFA flavor?) I find it's really useful for soda-pop vapes.
Hm, the Blueberry Muffin doesn't grab me like the Old Fashioned [Blueberry] Doughnut does, but it's still very good. Now that I've vaped so much of the latter, the blueberry in Muffin keeps reminding me how much I miss that spice. I think I'll try backing off on the fruit a little bit next time, as it's a little too tangy for me. This Bilberry's dominant and tough to get the hang of, I just need to find my sweet spot for it in the Muffin.
Blueberry Muffin is also plenty tasty sans berries, if anyone's wondering!

HIC I heard you had a good snicker doodle recipe. Where is it hiding?
Also you did mocha nips. What about coffee nips and licorice nips? I think we have something in common here. I loved all 3 of those.
I've done more than one kind of snickerdoodle. First this one: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-snickerdoodles.3161/
and one that's a suggested variation in the Dulce de Leche Churros in my store. The two are pretty different; I'll bet @Daintanee can give you an unbiased comparison (she or someone she mixes for really likes snickerdoodles).
Mocha Nips is an older (public) one from before the FA Meringue flavor change. I was relieved it's good with the current batches, too.
Hey, I've never heard of licorice nips! Where do you get those? Do they have any coffee flavor to them?
Oh oops! It must have been someone else here who tried both. Sorry, D!
No, we did discuss this when I purchased your churros recipe. I mentioned to you that I mixed up the snickrerdoodles recipe you posted in the V.U. recipe thread for my friend and he loved it. You thought it was the one added in your churros recipe....I think you forgot about the one on V.U. at the time. You may have spoken with someone else also, but we did discuss this. At any rate Josh will be happy for more free juice. I'll report his opinion in future here.
Just a few words about Blueberry Muffin:
+1 for Blueberry Muffin. Having it with coffee all the time, liquid coffee and vapor coffee.

Hi HIC & everyone, I ordered 30 ml of whipped cream, I don't know what I was thinking. It's more economical in the larger size but... Now I will have 30 ml of it. I don't have any of HIC's recipes that use any. Do you HIC or anyone have recipes that use whipped cream? Or does anyone need whipped cream?

Yeah, I'll buy some of it from ya.
FA Whipped Cream is one I haven't found a need for. It tastes alright to me, but I can use other flavorings without diketones to do anything I can with FA Whipped Cream. (it has a diketone warning: http://flavourartexpress.biz/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=643). My personal rule is that anything with known diketones has to taste fantastic and be impossible to make any other way, or I avoid it in recipes. I mix a LOT in an effort to find no-diacetyl alternatives, but there are still some I haven't found a way around yet. White chocolate, ginger (though FA might solve this one soon), strong malt - are a few that I still have no alternative to. The list was much longer a couple years ago!
Really? PM message me if you really want some. I should be receiving it any day now.Yeah, I'll buy some of it from ya.

I will gladly buy some from you too. I figure I smoked for 40 years, at least a pack a day, so a few diketones aren't gonna make much difference. I need some for a recipe I saw and was going to order it anyway. I will pm you if you let me know you still have some!
Wow, thanks! I also smoked for about 37 yrs. I haven't received it yet. I should get it any day now. PM me.

Think I have enough FlavourArt? The box is 12x8...
A bunch of duplicates, but still, I don't have every flavor!
The ones at the top are directly from Italy!
I have another box full of The Flavor Apprentice, and others...
