I just got my first batches into their bottles, and we'll see what happens with some steep time.
First flavor was an attempt to ballpark a Tasty Vapor flavor, Alien Blood. Smells right...not quite there taste wise - but a nice flavor! I'm saving this in my notes for future use. (Coconut, Pineapple, Cherry) This is going to be my flavor experiment for now.
Second was a simple strawberries and cream. Straight TFA flavor, all VG, I have creams and whipped creams and vanilla to tweak. No real goal here, just exploring. I have 5ml that tastes pretty good, and a good place to start.
Third was this recipe: http://www.e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/37210/GAMBIT+2 I have a little bit of real Gambit left. I just mixed this, and with no steeping, literally minutes old, this is like 97-98% there. It's amazing, I'm blown away - whoever the user You! is, they nailed it. LOVE this! I've been dripping it all afternoon. It's missing a spicy tone the real one has, but it's fantastic without it. I want to try and boost the apple in Gambit, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gambit, I just want a little more apple in it. This is a total keeper, I have a 15ml bottle and it's not going to last. I thought Gambit would be impossible, I was 100% wrong. Sorry 5 Pawns!
Next paycheck, gonna get the ingredients for a few more things, for now, this is fun. :)
I'm a sucker for a known recipe that's been clone. Especially if it's one I like. Honey Peary is going to be my next attempt at making my own clone. I love the real stuff but it doesn't quite have what I want - apricot getting replaced with either peach, kiwi, or mango. Not sure yet.
Keep experimenting you will find your perfect taste - or not - that's what makes it fun!
