I see TFA Dragonfruit and LA Banana Cream... I know what you're gonna make with those :P.

Hope you enjoy it, I've been meaning to pick those two up to see how it compares to the real thing.

Just made it, have both on hand, and vaping side by side after a 5 day rest, they are mirror clones.

Yep... just made my order of Dragonfruit and Banana cream from ecigexpress to give this recipe a try lol.

Yup! The nana cream clone is pretty damn great even before steeping and citric acid.

Link to the nana cream recipe? I have seen a bunch and want to know which you used if it's as spot on as you have stated.

This one

For reference: I have an authentic bottle right next to me that I have been vaping on for a couple weeks.

That is a TON of flavoring!

Get ready to buy more VG. You will blow through VG WAY faster than PG.

Good luck and have fun!!!

Yea, their site is funny. It's basically the same price for either 1 oz or 4 oz... You are probably right about the VG. I wasn't really thinking about that at the time.

Woah...seriously? I've never ordered from them. I'll have to check them out.

Enjoy that Nana Cream clone you're about to make. Be sure you get yourself some citric acid. It really needs it. ;)

I've been vaping that recipe nonstop for 2 days :D

After a week's steeping it really starts to shine. And yeah, the kick from the citric is key.

I just started too, all I can say it use a scale it's so much easier.

2 points
 
by thejoelslackalmost 11 years ago

what kinda scale you use?

1 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

Really? Seems like it would be harder unless doing a big quantity.

so fast. so easy. no messing with syringes.

I use a scale for mine. I order from ecigexpress and all TFA (signature) bottles come in plastic dripping bottles. Anything I get with a lid gets transferred to a drip bottle as well. Just tare the scale after putting the container on it, drip until desired weight on first liquid, tare, repeat with each new liquid. I've made 10ml plastic bottles and 30ml glass bottles so far and very little to no clean up after. Could find the link to the scale I bought if you get interested in mixing by weight in the future.

by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

I actually already have a scale so I might try this. I didn't think about using dripper bottles but I can see how that would be easy.

I'm wondering why people always buy equal quantities of PG and VG I've gone through so much more VG than PG probably like 6 times as much!

2 points
 
by BleuXShadoWalmost 11 years ago

Agreed haha even after making tons of extracts with pg I still have about a half gallon from the full gallon I got months ago. On my 4th liter of vg now.

3 points
 
by slamingalmost 11 years ago

I think for to be honest for me its the fact I can get 200ml of VG for £2, for Pg i'm looking about £3 + pandp for 100ml. Good job I love VG heavy juice

2 points
 
by BleuXShadoWalmost 11 years ago

wow i'm surprised pg is more expensive than vg there! Got a gallon of pg for around $21 and i get 1000ml vg for $12

by [deleted]almost 11 years ago

Pardon my newb question but let's say I bought 100mg/ml of nic that is 100%vg, does this play a role in the separate use of pg and vg?

3 points
 
by BleuXShadoWalmost 11 years ago

I don't quite understand what you mean. Total percentage of vg/pg you mean? Like let's say you want a 50/50 mix with 6mg in a 10ml. Let's say you use 15% pg based flavoring, you will have 1.5ml flavoring, then need to add 3.5ml pg. then with the 0.6ml vg nic, you would just add the 4.4ml vg left to make 100%

It does, but this calculator takes that into account which makes mixing easy.

by Roenixxalmost 11 years ago

This is what I wanted to say lol. The on PG I use now if flavoring

Nice, how much did that put you down?

1 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

About $100 altogether, I was originally going to get their diy starter kit but they offered free shipping over $75 so I just went this route.

Lemme guess ... you're making Nana' Cream and Honey Pearry clones, right?

2 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

Correct! Order arrived just in time too because I am on the last legs of each of mine, Just finished the 'Nana Cream clone and it is definitely pretty spot on.

What's the recipe for Honey Pearry?

1 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

I use 6% (TFA) pear, 4% (FW) honeydew, 8% (TFA) strawberry and citric acid to taste. It's not exactly like the authentic but pretty close. I think it's missing some watermelon and/or apricot.

wow, nice bounty buddy - I make 120ml at a time, seems to last all month. And def get some citric acid powder on amazon.. helps alot.

by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

I should have went with Amazon. Got some coming from eBay but the seller took 3 days to even so it so I have to wait till Thursday...

Where did you order from? Edit: I'm an idiot, it's on the bottles.

2 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

heartlandvapes.com seemed like a great deal and shipping was fast and free.

2 points
 
by 3xt4cr1zbyalmost 11 years ago

Yeah, I've been looking for a good price on large sizes LA banana cream. Thanks I'll check it out!

2 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

I actually had to get the LA banana cream off of eBay because heartland doesn't carry it. I would link the seller but I took their last 4oz bottle... :/

What're you playing on the Xbone?

1 points
 
by SilverManGoldalmost 11 years ago

Netflix... I got a few games when I first bought it but haven't been playing them. I might pick up Destiny though as it looks a lot like PSO.

1 points
 
by xQF13almost 11 years ago

Haha nice. I've been enjoying Destiny. The PSO comparison is a good one, it has quite a few Diablo-esque elements as well.

Somebody is going to make a 'Nana cream clone.

by The_Perrycoxalmost 11 years ago

This reminded me that I'm actually out of 'Nana and inspired me to mix up a fresh bottle. Hope you enjoy, it's one of the most enjoyable hobbies I've picked up in the last few years!

Didn't realize how thick vg was. Pretty hard to suck up in the smaller syringes... Is it cool to reuse syringes if rinsing in a cup of water between two ingredients?

2 points
 
by grrumble66almost 11 years ago

I did it using warm water with pipettes, only thing I noticed was some flavors (pineapple, koolada?) clouded when they hit the water droplets. Never had any noticeable mixing of flavors.

As for the thick VG, I use a scale and the VG is in a bottle like the ones you have on either end. Last thing in the mix and I just squeeze. :)
