Have at it!
This month, try adding some Koolada to your recipes- it gives a nice cold throat hit without the menthol taste!
- 1-2% = Icy
- 2-3% = Freezing Breath, lips starting to freeze
- 3-4.5% = Too much, I'm frozen!
- 5%+ = Cough/Hack (Too much to use for real)
Monthly challenge: Video yourself vaping TFA Caramel Cappucino at 20%
All TFA..
Sweet Stuff:
4% Srawberry Ripe 7% Peach | 1% Coconut | 3% BlueBerry 1% Cotton Candy
Very nice in my dripper, wife does it in her MPT2 @ 2oHms
I had issue finding a nice mellow Grape - Apple combo..
Grapple:
7.5% Grape Juice 7% Green Appple | 1% Honey Dew
All my mixes are "hot" mix. ... I use desired flavor amounts in the bottle I intend to use. Sit the (now bottled) flavors in very hot water, until the mix heats up. Then I add my cold bases ontop of that. (After I remove the bottle from the bath. Once it cools, I then do the actual mixing of flavor and base.)
How is the grape juice and green Apple? Have you tried it with regular Apple?
Apologize for the late reply.
I have not tried it with regular Apple before. I find myself liking the tart of the green, versus the sweet of the Grape Juice. It seems to cover each other nicely. Adding the melon flavor makes it soften nicely, and gives a 'wetter', juicy sensation. Plus it does not kill/overpower each flavor in itself.
It does need a bit of sit time, to get rid of the perfume flavors. Once it sits, tastes rather nice. A mixer could perhaps move up the Apple and Grape by another 3%. For a more intense flavor.
Cold Strawberry:
-
10% Capella's Sweet Strawberry
-
5 drops (I know this is a bad way to measure. The menthol was an after-thought) menthol (I made 50 ml).
This was my first venture into Capella's, and I REALLY love this strawberry flavor.
Arctic Mangoberry (All tfa)
Smooth creamy fruity Menthol!
- Mango 2%
- Strawberry 5%
- Pomegranate 4%
- Milkstone 3%
- Menthol or koolada 3%
What is Milkstone? Can't find it on their website.
MILKSTONE!
lol this is awesome, that people still use my cream base
Ry4 that came out great, all tfa:
Double ry4 12%, caramel candy 2%, Bavarian cream 2%, toasted marshmallow 2%, and one drop per ten mil of vanillin and AP. Just keeps getting better the longer it ages!
i've been struggling with my tobacco flavors so much. i can't seem to get them right, but maybe thats because i'm still not giving them enough time.
i blend i'm working on right now.
15ml's total .7mls of Turkish from TFA 2.3mls of Vanilla Custard From TFA 80VG-20Pg
i blended it on 4~2~14. do i just need to wait longer?
I am a huge fan of thug juice from Mt. Baker Vapor so I decided to make some variants to try out. This is the best one I came up with:
Classy Thug
- Pomegranate 6%
- BlackBerry 5%
- Champagne 4%
- Menthol 4%
you probably know this, but i recently discovered that fw jungle juice at around 15-20% with a bit of sweetener and a touch of extra menthol is indistinct from mbv thug juice to me.
I did not know this, thanks for the info!! Still pretty new to this DIY thing but going to have to try this very soon. Looks like FW is going to have to be the next place I order flavors from.
You can also get 15ml of thug juice flavoring for 3 bucks from mbv. Just got some and mixed it at 15% and its pretty solid. Going to go down to 10% on the next mix to see, but I'm thinking 12 may be were its at? (looks like its cheaper from flavor west, but you have to buy more at a time).
This took some wait time, to get nice. So it did not smell/taste like wood glue. Still working on a final form, but it works nicely right now. Very smooth and has got a nice pop taste. I was shooting for Vanilla Coke, but I like this direction. A tasty failure.
No Name yet
- 10% Cola Syrup (TFA)
- 11% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
- 3% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
- 2% Cotton Candy (TFA)
Might consider adding some Koolada to cool it down.. It could work and be an EyeSee Cola. Right now it is really, really close to a Cola Slushy/ICEE flavor.
I too was looking for a vanilla coke. Stumbled on this little gem...
7.5% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 2.5% Coke 2.5% Ripe Strawberry .5% Pineapple (for carbonation) 1% Koolada
Is that Coke 2.5%, real Coke, Coca Cola or a flavoring of some type? I found the Cola Syrup (TFA) gives a nice carbo/sparkle on the tongue sensation, without adding other flavors. (Some use Champagne, to achieve sparkle sensation. Like the Pineapple you're using.)
I ordered some Vanillian to get a stronger nilla flavor. Which should get it as close to Vanilla Coke, as I could get. Right now, vaping against the real thing. It's really close, but lacking punch in Vanilla.
P3 - 8% pear, 4% pineapple, 6% pomegranate, 2 drops sweetner. Actually turned out really good.
Red, white and blue - 10% strawberry, 5% marshmellow, 3% blueberry extra with a little sweetner.
Orbitz melon mint gum (told it tastes sorta like space jams Pluto) - 6% honey Dew, 2% apple, add mint/menthol to taste.
Cinna-Cide - 8% red hots, 2% hot chili, 5% Watermelon (or coconut/pineapple), 2% key lime. Tastes like those hispanic chili treats if you've ever had some.
Jalapeño poppers - 8% jalapeño, 5% cream cheese. Tastes pretty damn close, but idk why you would want to smoke it. Lol
The Black Butler - 8% buscotti/graham cracker, 4% cappuccino, 4% French vanilla
All are TFA in 10ml bottles.
Do the first two still taste good without the sweetner? I'm not a big sweet fan. I can do with like one drop.
Strapaloupe
-
Strawberries and cream - 7%
-
Cantaloupe - 10%
-
EM - 3%
-
Passion Fruit - 5%
-
Koolada - 3%
Add 1 drop of blueberry candy per 10ml of juice.
Edit: I mixed this last night and hot water bathed it and it's spectacular (imo) I haven't tried steeping it yet though
Something I mixed up this morning that turned out fairly well, still needs some tweaks.
All TPA/TFA
- 5% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 5% Vanilla Custard
- 3% Vanillanin
- 5% Cinnamon Danish
Cinnamon is a bit too strong, I'd recommend trying it at 3%. As listed, the flavor is very custardy that leans a little too heavily into a snickerdoodle kind of cinnamon flavor. Tastes great but the mouth feel isn't right for the flavor, I'm going to experiment with adding Smooth. Also, I think that this recipe may work out well, albeit in a different flavor profile, with Dulce de leche instead of Cinnamon Danish.
Five Hundred and Fifty-Five Bonnies:
- 8% 555 Tobacco (MTB DiY = FW)
- 4% Bavairian Cream (TFA)
- 5% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
- 0.5% Coconut Extra (TFA)
This was dump, mix and drip. Came out very nice if I may say.. That skoosh of Coconut adds a nice exhale. I might experiment with Mint Chocolate Chip, in place the the Coconut.
Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream v1
I want input on this, guys, I think it's pretty delicious but I also think there's room for improvement.
Cakestone (Cake Flavor Base) (wink wink DIYer reference)
- 30% Flavorwest Yellow Cake
- 30% TFA Vanilla Cupcake
- 25% TFA Bavarian Cream
- 15% TFA Cotton candy
Remember to shake vigorously to combine flavorings
- 13% Cakestone
- 4% TFA Strawberry
- 1% TFA White Chocolate
Here's a light and creamy flavor for you to enjoy. It needs some steeping - vaped fresh, FA Strawberry is overripe and overpowering, but it melds with the other ingredients and fades into a supporting note after a few hours in the crock pot or a few weeks in the cupboard. This recipe does require a two-stage mixing technique, but it's worth it in the end. I always make sure to have some cream base hanging around - you should too, if you make many creamy flavors. Everyone's cream base is different, so make sure to experiment and find the best for you.

I ..I... you're insane for suggesting that challenge! 3 drops per 10 ml is strong enough for me, you mad man!
As for a recipe, this is one a friend gave me:
6% green apple(fw)
7% juicy peach (health cabin)
8% strawberry ripe (tfa)
Nice, simple flavor. May try it with some quince instead of apple next time though.
I do 7% green apple & strawberry, 6% juicy peach, and .5ml per 10ml of honeydew (all tfa) and this makes a really smooth, complex mix
Heh :)
Tropical Smoothie (all tfa)
8% strawberry
6% banana cream
1% coconut
1% ethyl maltol
2 drops of malic acid per 10ml
Nice, simple flavor that's very tasty.
I wonder if this would work with ripe banana and Bavarian cream instead? Also is ethyl malto called smooth or sour?
Ethyl maltol is a sweetener. If you use ripe banana you'll want to lower the %. Bavarian cream sounds like a great addition.
This is the recipe of which I am most proud to date. Great in my Russian 91%
After I mixed 10ml of this, I made a 50ml and then another batch of 75ml because it became an ADV for my brother, my girlfriend and me. I think the butter adds more TH than flavor, and next batch I'm thinking of either leaving it out or putting in 1% sweet cream.
If you don't have Lorann's Super Strength Apple, you should probably adjust that percentage way up. Apple is the strong note in this.
The Solvang (Apple Waffle with Whipped Cream)
- 7% Waffle Belgian (TFA)
- 3% Waffle (Cap)
- 3% Whipped Cream (FW)
- 2% Apple Super (Lorann)
- 2% Bavarian Creme (TFA)
- Ethyl Maltol - 3 drops per 10ml
- Sucralose - 1 drop per 10ml
- (OPTIONAL) Butter Flavor (Lorann) - 3 drops per 10ml
EDIT: I made a new batch omitting the butter and adding 2% sweet cream (TFA) and it is even better.
UPDATE: I discovered that the apple is a lot more muted when not vaped in a Kayfun/Russian. So I mixed up a batch like the above (with sweet cream) and added to it 1% TFA Apple Pie and .5% Capella Green Apple. Now THAT tastes good in a Protank 2. Apple pops well.
Are you from the 805? That sounds delicious and makes me want to go to Solvang and get some belgian waffles
Just made this, with some leftover flavors until my new shipment arrives. So I present to you "Trap Juice". All flavors are TFA
- Blueberry - 8%
- Raspberry - 6%
- Watermelon - 7%
- Grape Juice - 8%
- Bavarian Cream - 2%
I've loved the mixes with Watermelon/Raspberry, but couldn't get Blueberry going. Flavorful fruit mix, finally hit a balance between high and low notes. Since I don't have any EM, that can be also added.
If you try it out, please let me know with any improvements :)
31% flavoring seems really high.
I mi 20/80 - 10/90 PG/VG ratio and lower percentages just don't leave a taste in my mouth. I'm usually in the 15-20% total flavorings region.
I'm a newb to the whole DIY game but I ordered some supplies and decided to mix up some juice. I made 10mL of juice with a 50/50 PG/VG mix, 10% TFA butterscotch and 5 drops (yes I know) TFA sweetener. I'm surprised, it is very good. Not too strong, not too sweet. Just right.
Haha "(yes I know)" :P Don't be afraid to use sweetener, but don't be afriad to not use it. I make and sell thousands of bottles of juice a month and don't use a drop of any sweetener.
Try adding about 5% of caramel candy to that 10% Butterscotch, maybe 1% vanilla swirl, and ditch the sweetener. You'll have a creamy, full-bodied vape that won't taste artificial!
I'm a bit of a flavourart fanboy, so all of my recipes use their flavors:
Golden Grahams: Honey 2% Cookie 4% Vienna Cream 2% Ethyl Maltol 2%
EM is kind of a necessity in this flavor, as the cookie and vienna cream have odd aftertastes without it. The honey and cookie meld together to create a graham cracker flavor with a body to it, while the vienna cream creates a milky undertone that really sells the cereal vibe. Would be interested to hear from anyone who tries replacing the cream with milkstone.
Not sure milkstone would do that justice. This is one of my creamiest flavors to date http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/21974/Vagnerian+Canape
I'd like to see a base made from that for this purpose... In fact, I may refactor milkstone to a base with these flavors, though it is pretty amazing vaped alone.
EDIT: in fact... here it is. http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/29021/Milkstone+2.0
Here's one I've been playing with based on this candy recipe.
Lime In The Coconut (all TFA)
- Dulce de Leche 5%
- Toasted Almond 5%
- Bavarian Cream 2.5%
- Vanilla Swirl 1.5%
- Key Lime 1.5%
- Coconut Extra 1%
Minty absinthe, or Absinthy peppermint. :D
- 5% Peppermint ( TFA )
- 5% Absinthe ( TFA )
- 1% Cotton Candy ( TFA, Ethyl Maltol )
- 5 drops Now brand Stevia ( VG based liquid ) per 30ml ( optional )
Reminds me of peppermint schnapps, although perhaps not as strong. Haven't let it steep at all yet, so it might get stronger. You can increase flavor percents to your liking.
