I Love mixing! Something quite therapeutic about it. Anyhow, pretty happy with a custard recipe I use, now trying it with an extra flavour. I have a banana custard steeping and made up a lemon custard today. Also made up a coffee (mom&pops 'sweet jo'), some 'chocolate milk' and 'monkey feast' (pb&j) by Kandi-Hed, an orange and lime mix and a plain custard for a fellow ape. Only posting because mixing up juices makes me happy and I just wanted to tell someone! Sorry to waste your time, and will let you know how I get on with them after steeping.

Lol I hear you both on that!!!
Got a full box of steeping juice but my trouble is that I am still buying pre made too. Just ordered 60ml of Manabush!!!! If I didn't buy anything else until after Christmas I wouldn't come close to running out. The one I can't seem to nail is DV sherbet lemon....

I've tried the DV sherbet lemon at 15%. I thought it was ok, but would prefer it if the lemon packed a bit more punch. I have recently picked up Kandi-Hed's double lemon concentrate so will try adding some (prob 5%) to the DV one, see if that helps.

Nice one will be interested to hear if that works. The sherbet lemon was one I was really hoping would be an ADV as had a similar sort of premix. Very disappointed with results though. Not tried any Kandi-Heds yet. Any good?

... am loving my mixing ...

I forced the issue and placed my last order for pre-made juice on 19 August, ran out of that some time ago now.
With 3-4 months of usage laid down I cannot justify buying pre-made, the objective was to reduce my ongoing costs to <50p per day. It also keeps me focused on getting good results and not being frivolous and wasteful with my brews.

As much as I miss Chiricahua Sun, Nokomis et al, the bottles in vape mail, there's something very satisfying about blowing plumes of yer own.

Yeah, I have still have one bottle left of Steamgunk's cloudy lemonade from before the kitchen closed, def in my top 5! For the custard that I'm really impressed with I use Kandi-hed's 'crazy creamy custard', I love it but haven't tried other custard concentrates. Their peanut butter and jelly one smells awesome, but although the chocolate milk one smells good, I've gotta feeling it's going to have a really weak flavour. I'll post on here as I try things, I'm no connoisseur, but happy to offer an opinion.

Lol it was the Nokomis and Chiricahua Sun that I ordered!!! Good point regarding forcing the issue though I need more self discipline!!!
Going to cancel the Vape Crate this month I think as the whole idea was to reduce cost not add the mixing costs to an already hefty monthly juice spend.

If trying to nail a sherbert lemon you could always try adding a tiny amount of malic acid to the mix to help bring the lemon out
