Hoping to see your best end of winter (and enough damn snow already) creations posted here!
All of your best individual creations belong here. Clones you made should go in the clone thread, and we also have weekly threads for noob questions and "help me mix something with these flavors" threads. Please help keep the community "clean" by posting in appropriate threads. It's best to use the format: <Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x% <Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x% <Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x% <Flavor> (<Vendor>) y drops per z ml (note - if you are having trouble with spacing, hit the space bar twice before you hit return and your typing will begin on a new line). Again - before you post a new thread, have you used the search function and the sidebar? Happy Mixing!
I hope this is OK to post as it's just a simple modification of this recipe from ECF.
Dream Cream Mod
- 2.5% TFA Vanilla Swirl
- 2.5% TFA Sweet Cream
- 2.5% TFA Bavarian Cream
- 1.0% TFA Dulce de Leche
- 1.0% TFA Caramel Candy
It's a nice simple sweet cream and pretty good after just a week of aging. I'm thinking it would make a nice base for adding fruits to.
Adaptations of other recipes should be always welcome.
Anyone who ever tries to legally protect a flavor recipe is a bastard, lol.
Perry's Haribo White (White Gummy Bear)
One of the very first liquids I ordered when I got into dripping, was White Gummy Bear from Bombies. It was also one of the first let downs for me. FA Pineapple smells of onions and burnt tires to me, and I'm pretty sure that was the culprit. I also detest "gummy" flavorings. Mix this up, it's spot on for white Haribo brand gummy bears.
-
5% TFA Cotton Candy
-
3% FA Custard
-
1% FA Vienna Cream
-
1% FW Starfruit
-
.75% TFA Hibiscus
-
1% FA Raspberry
-
1.5% CAP Golden Pineapple
-
1.25% INW Lime (Limetka)
Oh damn interesting stuff. FA Custard in a gummy bear juice sounds intriguing. I assume that helps the "gummy" part of the flavor?
http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-e-liquid/diy-e-liquid-flavors/inawera/fruit-and-sweet/lime-by-inawera.html
Is this the correct lime?
i just put in an order for this everything here but ecigexpress ran out of the vienna cream right before i checked out.. DOH. any good substitutions?
I can't think of anything that would really replace vienna cream. If I had to say, try either TFA Vanilla Swirl or Whipped Cream.
I'd personally try the recipe without it first. Also, Vienna Cream is an awesome flavor to have so it may be worth ordering from elsewhere. It'd give you a good excuse to buy some more FA flavors! Eliquidmart is my favorite place
Banana Brulee
-
5% TFA Banana Foster
-
3% TFA Brown Sugar Extra
-
2% TFA Marshmallow
-
.75% FA Banana (Can use TFA/Cap/FW. I prefer FA for more realistic)
-
.5% TFA Waflle
Let this one age for ten days, and air it out from time to time. The Waffle is one of those flavors that really benefits from a little breathing, otherwise the alcohol base is quite noticeable.
Thanks for sharing Perry, these recipes look delicious! I have a great Banana Brulee vendor juice, been wanting to try a shot at it myself. Do you have other recipes shared online anywhere?
Lime Skittles
5% FA Lime Distilled
3% FA Lemon Sicily
3% FA Orange
Tastes exactly like lime skittles, and very strong.
By Lime Distilled, Did you mean Lime Tahiti - Distilled? I wonder if you could sub Lime Tahiti - Cold Pressed... I prefer that.
Lime cold press is obscenely far from Tahiti. It's like comparing north and South Pole lol. Tahiti is many more pop!
Love this! Ive always been a fan of using fa lime+ fruit to make skittles flavor! I use the lime tahity though and anything over 2% is a lot for me!
Something simple, but I love it (Watermelon Cotton Candy)
I ordered a bunch of TFA flavors to experiment with: here's my favorite so far: 5% TFA Watermelon 0.5% TFA Ethyl Maltol
Another one I loved (Sweet Absinthe)
6% TFA Absinthe 1% TFA Ethyl Maltol
You could share this one in its own top-level comment if you like, since this thread is in contest mode, no one will see the recipe unless they expand the comments on your first recipe. Also, I'm surprised you're getting enough flavor from TFA at this low of a percent, particularly on the watermelon. Do you like mild flavors, or does it seem strong enough to you? I usually do most TFA single flavors closer to 10% as a starter unless it's known to be a strong one.
My mother is -ALL- about the TFA watermelon with some menthol. :)
Good ol' watermelon frost. It's a classic.
So I'm looking for a particular watermelon and I don't think posting a thread just to ask would go over well. You seem to know your stuff, so I'll ask you!
It's in three flavors I've had. Well, three juice companies I know of use it and I know they wouldn't ever give that information away.
The Best Damn's Jolly Fruit
Blue Lab's Watermelon
Ruthless' EZ Duz it
It doesn't have that typical melon taste. It's a sweeter watermelon flavor, but not really candy. It's clean, crisp. It's so hard to describe, so I'm sorry this is probably difficult to decipher. It's hands down my favorite flavor and I can't find it. I've ordered from LA and it's not the correct one. I just don't want to have to buy all the different watermelon flavors and end up ridding of them because I don't like them. I just want help in maybe finding out which company sells the flavor I'm looking for!
Thanks so much for reading my nonsense.
edit* just a couple typos
Just plain good...
- 4% LA Banana Cream (colorless always preferred)
- 1.8% Flavorah Vanilla Custard
- 1% CAP Sugar Cookie
- 2% Peanut Butter Base (see below)
- 1% TFA Graham Cracker Clear
- 0.2% TFA Orange Cream
Peanut Butter Base
- 50% TFA Peanut Butter
- 10% INW Peanuts
- 10% FA Vienna Cream
- 10% FA Catalan Cream
- 10% Citric Acid
- 10% Sucralose
Still tweaking this recipe a bit, but it's reminiscent of Grandmaster but definitely not a clone. If you are into savory...don't pass it up. Unfortunately, I can't ADV any peanut butters or custards usually but this probably my favorite so far...
Edit: I mix this 88% VG, 2% Distilled Water, 10% Flavor.
And what exactly does the distilled water do?
edit: Flavorah Vanilla Custard? FA?
edit2: Of course ECX Doesnt have INW Peanuts
Your contributions to this sub are fantastic, much like your juice. Another fascinating recipe idea here... Are you experimenting with Flavorah flavors now? Is there potentially another VC I could sub for it as an experiment, or is there something crucial about the FV VC, like FA Custard has its unique spiciness?
I don't know of a good sub for Flavorah Vanilla Custard, is it quite unique in taste. I'm sure if I had the patience, some combination of other creams, vanillas and custards could get you close.
Do yourself a favor and pick it up though....seriously...
I am experimenting with Flavorah, slowly but surely. Will be posting reviews of everything I've tried in the coming weeks.
What's your take on using 0.9% saline instead of DI water? This seems like a flavor profile that could benefit.
Could work, I've honestly never really noticed a difference between using them and I'd prefer not to vape saline.
Really surprised to hear you say that. My field is biomedical sciences, and I use inhalation saline in some of my recipes. It's also used in nebulizers and other devices which vaping gives homage to. Surely you can't have safety concerns about using saline in ejuice, so is it coil life? Or do you just really not taste any difference at all, and prefer not to add something you see as superfluous.
While I am loath to try anything that involves such levels of Sugar Cookie and Graham Cracker Clear, I'm glad to see that you're using Distilled Water. I feel like this should be included more frequently in the DIY kitchen. The advantages wrought from using even trace amounts of it far outweigh any detriment.
Out of curiosity, what build/wattage do you typically vape?
Lemon Sugar Cookie:
-
TFA Graham Cracker Clear 2.4%
-
TFA Toasted Marshmallow 3%
-
TFA Double Chocolate Clear 1.2%
-
TFA Marshmallow 2.4%
-
TFA Graham Cracker Dark 1.2%
-
FE Lemon 2.4%
-
FW Lemonade 2%
-
FA Lemon Sicily 0.8%
This recipe is pretty much the tits. The lemon meshes really well with the graham cracker in ways I wasn't really expecting. The FE lemon gives it a citrusy kick, the FW lemonade mellows it out a little bit, while the FA gives it a bit of sweetness it was lacking before. It's kind of a wick-killer, though. I feel like removing the graham cracker dark would fix that a bit.
Edit: Formatting
This sounds fiercely fantastic. Thanks for sharing it! Next flavor order I might try a variation on the idea. Any reason you didn't go with Graham Cracker Clear'? I have never gotten the dark for exactly the reason you stated.
I wanted a more complex graham cracker flavor, and I hoped using only a bit of Graham Cracker Dark would help the wicks last longer. That stuff will kill wicks at any percentage.
Snowdrop:
-
Peppermint (CAP) - 9%
-
Vanilla Swirl (TFA) - 5%
-
Sweet Cream (TFA) - 5%
-
Koolada (TFA) - 2%
-
Ethyl Maltol 10% (TFA) - 1%
-
Marshmallow (TFA) - 1%
This recipe makes for an incredibly smooth, creamy, soft mint. I consider it to be the 'polar' opposite of menthol. This is a mint for people who don't like mint. I'm considering trying to blend in a touch of white chocolate, but this recipe is so good the way it is, I figured I'd share it now. I sell this locally and it's quite popular.
I just made this substituting:
-
the marshmallow also with my EM 10%,
-
the peppermint (CAP) with creme de menthe at 6%
-
the sweet cream with vanilla bean ice cream at 3%
and it's very enjoyable. I never thought that mints could be enjoyed this way.
Thank you for the feedback -- I emphatically do not enjoy typical mint/menthol vapes. I find them harsh and 'thin', so I set out to make the 'polar' opposite. IMO, this recipe is a major success in that regard, & your variation sounds like quite an interesting take. Thanks again for replying, I felt like people might be overlooking this like I would have because it's a mint recipe.
How have you found TFA's Creme de Menthe? It sounds like what you're describing.
I actually have never gotten their Creme de Menthe. I have Flavorah's but I haven't gotten to mix with it yet. I do agree there is some similarity to Creme de Menthe here, but I'd be surprised if you could make a recipe like this with equivalent texture and flavor another way.
You'd be really fucking surprised at TFA Creme de Menthe. I'm an admitted TFA hater. They have some really good flavors, but there are SO many that are god awful. You actually used about a quarter of the flavors from them which I find palatable.
That said, Creme de Menthe is one of their brilliant flavors. It is just that: creamy mint. As with most TFA flavors, however, I find that it's a pretty lousy main ingredient to use in a complex mix. It often overwhelms. I've tried it in around 16 iterations of one recipe, and in several iterations spanning a coupe more recipes, only to find that it was the flavor-killer.
How well do you think FA Peppermint will substitute into this? I am not familiar with the CAP version.
I'd expect it's probably stronger, based on my experiences with FA flavors in general (I don't have Peppermint or I'd compare for you). I'd start at 50% of the suggested amount for CAP, and then add it in 1% at a time if it's not minty enough for you. Please post back with results when you do it!
Thanks for the quick reply. Setup the recipe in my calculator for future diy making. Got about 15 test bottles I got to get through and take notes on before I make more. I decided I would try it at 3% since FA is a generally potent brand. Will report back.
I was interested so I made 15 ml. It's pretty harsh at first, how long does it take to steep?
Cool Strawberry Mojito
5% TFA ripe strawberry
3% TFA mojito
~5 drops TFA menthol liquid per 10ml
2% EM
I have a mojito flavor in development myself. I'll share it here when it's done, but I'm glad to see another mojito fan out there. You mixing this at MaxVG?
April Daydream.
Apricot (FA) - 4%
Blueberry EX (TFA) 3%
Apple Fuji (FA) 1.2%
This is a very good juice, you wont taste apple but it seriously brings out the Apricot. As does the blueberry.
Edit: ok after many versions below is my fav.
Apricot 4%
Blueberry 5%
Fuji apple 1.5%
1 small drop Citric Acid solution per ml.
Very interesting combination, sir. Surprised you got significant blueberry from 3% BB extra -- I usually have to spike it with some FA Bilberry. Must be flavoring interactions bringing it out.
I may try this - I sampled April Moon by Alice In Vapeland, which is apricot and blueberry, and loved it - the apple addition sounds intriguing!
Anyone a fan of Time Bomb Vapors? I created a clone of TNT and it's spot on!
I mix at max VG 0nic, so you may need to tone down the % of flavoring.
Sweet Strawberry TFA or CAP 12%
Juicy Peach TFA 8%
Red Apple TFA 7%
Sweetener 4%
edit* spelling error.
What TFA Strawberry do you use for a CAP Sweet Strawberry substitute? They have regular (Strawberry), Ripe, and Organic.
I can't wait to try this one!
Here is a simple one that I have been vaping non stop over the last few days.
Blue Raspberry Slush
- 12.0% - Blue Raspberry Slush (OSDIY)
- 0.50% - Cotton Candy or Ethyl Maltol
- 1.00% - Raspberry (FA)
- 1.00% - Raspberry (INW)
- 1.00% - Sour (TFA)
- 1.00% - Sweetener (TFA)
How's the Blue Raspberry Slush as a solo flavor? I just received Strawberry Milk, Cinnamon Roll, and Blue Raspberry Slush from OSDIYS. I've tried the Strawberry milk @ 15% (must've been too high) it tasted like butter :(
Thanks for the reply on Strawberry milk I was eyeing that one for a future purchase. I bought the Pink Lemonade but havent tried it yet; I currently have a mix of it I made tonight with a little extra flavors thrown in.
Cool thanks. I'll try mixing up the Blue Raspberry Slush around 12 or 13 with some sweetner. I have some TFA Raspberry (not sweet) I may put a little of that in there.
And no problem, I'm not going to count it out yet. I'm going to make a few tester bottles maybe a standalone around 10% and another around 10% with some vanilla swirl, sweet cream, and maybe some sweet strawberry. I'll let you know how that turns out. I plan to mix some up tonight.
I subbed TFA Raspberry (Sweet) for INW Raspberry -- holy crap, man. This is awesome. I think this could be my ADV, and that's after a hot bath/shake. Curious to see how it will change over a steeping period but I don't know if it will last very long!
ManBearPig
-
Fruit Circles (TFA) @ 8%
-
Dairy/Milk (TFA) @ 2%
-
Cheesecake Graham Cracker Crust (TFA) @ 2%
-
Vanilla Custard (TFA) @ 2%
I know everyone has a cereal recipe, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone has already done this exact recipe, but it blew my mind. I mix at max VG for 14/86 pg/vg.
My simple experiment this month, no name. Waterberry?
Capella Double Watermelon 3ml
Capella Strawberry Ripe 2ml
TFA French Vanilla 2-3 drops (very subtle, can leave out)
I love simple juices like this! Probably been done a bunch already, but I like it.
Here's a fun little mix for you fans of TFA DK Tobacco:
9% TFA DK tobacco 10% TFA Blueberry Extra 1% TFA Coconut
That is an intimidating percentage of DK Base. What does this come out tasting like? Also, are you using Blueberry OG, Wild, or Extra?
Extra.
The DK is fairly overpowering here. I love the flavor alone, but vaping it straight is a bit too much for me. I tried with cherry and found it to be awful. The blueberry complements it nicely. As for the coconut, DK just screams for it to be added.
One of my favorites using MBV flavoring. My ADV until i find the right papaya to start mixing with. Simple but for my palate its enjoyable Blueberry MBV 6% Grape MBV 4% Raspberry MBV 3% Depending on the strength of your Raspberry you may have to increase the percentage of it to give the flavor that 'zing' without overpowering it. The blueberry brings the sweetness, the grape brings the depth, and the raspberry brings the bite.
Smoothie on a Custard.
I still really like LorAnn's banana cream after my nana cream clone frenzy and It seems to find a way into quite a lot of my mixes. Even this recipe is still quite nana cream clone inspired.
- Banana Cream (LA) 4%
- Pineapple (TPA) 2%
- Strawberry Ripe (TPA) 4%
- Vanilla Custard (TPA) 10%
I only have TPA Vanilla Custard, but I've heard great things about Capella's version and may place an order soon.
This sounds a little bit like Bombies Kiss The Ring. You should check out the clones 3 thread, there's a couple variations of that in there and you might see something that inspires future mixes on this recipe. Looks good!
a buddy asked me to come up with a coconut flavor for his girlfriend. this is what i came up with after a couple revisions (turns out AP doesn't do magical stuff to coconut). i'm interested in getting any thoughts you all might have. i have a pretty extensive flavor library, but i'm not really looking to get new flavors to complete this task.
Coconut Test
- 4.5% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
- 3% Coconut (CAP)
- 2.5% Graham Cracker (TFA)
- 2% Ethyl Maltol (10% Solution)
- 1.5% Coconut Extra (TFA)
- 0.5% Vienna Cream (FA)
gonna give this a try when my cap coconut arrives, I got fw creamy coconut to experiment with coconut candy tfa, mixed it up a few days ago but cant find the damn thing, i have about 300 5 ml bottles littered across 3 rooms..lol gotta get more organized
Unsure if I should post this here or in the Clone section. This could be a possible clone of Betty from Pinup. It is different though and not as sickening sweet as the original.
I think I may have stumbled upon a very close recipe to Betty by accident. Sully over at VU had posted a recipe called "sweet berry mash" and I was tinkering with percentages and alternate flavors and left the bottle sitting for about a week. It is very close now to what I remember from Betty but not sickening sweet like betty was. Give it a try and let me know how it is. If it should be moved to the other thread; then that is fine as well.
Bound Betty
- 3.50% - Forest Fruit (FA) / Originally was 3%
- 1.25% - Fresh Cream (FA) / Originally was 1%
- 1.25% - Marshmallow (FA) / Originally was 1%
- 1.00% - Marzipan (FA) / Originally was .75%
- 1.00% - Oba Oba (FA) / Originally was .75%
- 0.75% - Pear (FA) / Originally wasn't in first version
- 2.50% - Strawberry (FA) / Originally was 2%
- 4.00% - Sweet Strawberry (CAP) / Originally was 3.5%
- 2 Drops "MTS VAPE WIZARD" (FA) per 15ml (Needed)
Optional:
-
0.75% - Pink Guava (Flavorah) / Originally was not in first version.
-
0.50% - Sweetener (TFA) (Leave it out if you want less sweetness; I personally don't think it is needed but some people love the sweeter tasting juices. If you like the sweetness by all means go with it.)
This should probably be steeped as well
I think the MTS Vape Wizard is the key here and probably wouldn't work w/o it. On a whim I was playing around with it and added it to the bottle of the tweaked recipe that sully posted. I left it sitting for about a week before opening it so it had steeped for a while. I can't take full credit for the recipe as Sully provided the groundwork from the original recipe that I tweaked. Again this isn't a 1:1 clone but better IMO as it isn't sickening sweet like betty from pinup.
Anyways it's a starting point if you want to tweak it or take it another direction.
Edit 3-23-15: After messing around with many different versions I updated the recipe to reflect what I think is the best out of the versions I have made. It is a lot more flavorful than the original and is really good. If you want to try the Original recipe out I have annotated what is changed as I bumped the percentages on a few flavors. Optionally you can add the Pink Guava to give it a nice grapefruit undertone alot of people say is in the orginal juice. I personally like the addition of the pink guava. Also add the optional sweetener if you like sweet tasting juices. It really needs to steep to meld the flavors so let it sit for 5-7 days or use whatever method of speed steeping you use. I made this at 70vg/30pg
Thanks for posting this.
What exactly did MTS Vape Wizard due to the flavor?
If I don't have the Oba Oba, what should I do? Get it, leave it out, or try some substitute. I have seen the flavor, but never bothered to figure out what it is.
Well it is a integral part imo, but you definately can try leaving it out. Oba Oba is a weird flavor. Some people say it tastes like marshmallow and tobacco, and others say it's a cream soda taste. It's just one of those weird flavors that is hard to identify.
This is a really amazing recipe. I've been messing with it quite a bit since you originally posted it and ended up pretty close to your 3/23 edit. I swapped out to Strawberry Ripe and up'd percents where I thought they could use it, but basically ended up in the exact same place you did.
- 4% Sweet Strawberry (CAP)
- 4% Forest Mix (FA)
- 2% Strawberry (Ripe) (TFA)
- 1.5% Fresh Cream (FA)
- 1% Sweetener (FW)
- 1% Marshmallow (FA)
- 1% Marzipan (FA)
- 1% Oba Oba (FA)
- 0.5% MTS Vape Wizard (FA)
I've taken this base and started adding FA Custard to it as well. Seems like 2-3% is going to be a nice point. The custard changes the recipe quite significantly, to sort of a 'Betty Gelato' Each is good in it's own right.
I also went in a different direction with the forest fruit I bought to make your recipe, sort of a berry lemonade twist. This one has a neat shift from sweet to tart as you exhale, starting off much like the original and shifting to the lemon. This one is still a work in progress. I really think it could use a few more sweet notes, but for now I was trying to isolate the few main flavors.
- 4% Forest Mix (FA)
- 3% Custard (FA)
- 2% Italian Lemon Sicily (CAP)
- 2% Bilberry (FA)
- 2% Fresh Cream (FA)
Thanks again for posting your notes here, its served as a great inspiration on my end.
I am so glad you responded and liked it. It's all about the creativity and tweaking that I love. I will try your changes as well. It's a versatile recipe and I have started subbing in and out different fruits myself (Pear was really good too). It's a betty like recipe imo but if you have a chance and own Flavorah Pink Guava that gives it a real good flavor as well. Thanks again for trying it and replying.
Here is v4.1 that I really like so far. Each version I do has a different fruit background. This one may be a permanent one for me If I don't move on to a 4.2 (I tinker alot with this recipe; more than I have with others).

2 DROPS MTS 2 tiny needle nose drops CA/MA mix Betty by Pinup Vapor clone
Just mixed up a batch and threw in the steep cabinet! I haven't mixed with FA too much and got forest fruit in just for this recipe and upon first smell was instantly convinced that it is in the OG but the Pink Guava doesn't seem to fit right now but who knows in a couple weeks? Anyways thanks to you and Sully for working on this.
Pink guava more than likely isnt in the original but I like it in this recipe. It is not needed for sure. I hope you like it.
This looks wonderful thank you. It seems like when I go years back and read other forums people used MTS a lot more than they do now. It does help in many of my more complex mixes.
I'm only missing forest fruit. How versatile is that in your opinion? Any certain fruit stick out as a primary?
Lemon Sorbet
Something I've been working on for quite awhile. Close to perfection, not quite there, but close enough to finally post. As with all of my mixes I've posted in the past few months, MAX VG all day every day.
- 5.5% FA Lemon Sicily
- 2.5% FA Custard
- 1% FA Citrus Mix
- 1% Sucralose (10% solution, I use TFA)
- 1% Ethyl Maltol (10% solution, I use TFA)
- 0.125% Menthol (10% solution, I use TFA) (1 drop per 30ml for me)
Add 2% Distilled Water for better wicking, giving you a final result of 86.875% VG, 11.125% PG and 2% DW. This shit blows excellent clouds (at 0.15 ohm), tastes phenomenal, and the FA Custard almost adds a little hint of spice here that you won't find with other custards. I call it Lemon Sorbet, but it really has deeper flavor than your traditional Lemon Sorbet would due to the use of FA Custard.
I've also subbed the FA Custard out for 2% Flavorah Vanilla Custard (meanwhile bumping the Lemon Sicily up 0.5% to 6% total) and it was also excellent, just different. The version I've posted is my favorite thus far. Need to work with a few more lemon adjustments still (TFA Lemon Lime instead of Citrus Mix and FE Lemon instead of FA Lemon Sicily, but it's good as is).
This is served as a shake and vape, I do have a 30ml steeping as of today though and will try to update in a few weeks. IIRC, the Lemon Sicily fades over time, hence why I still need to continue to work on this, but for now, I'm a happy vaper as I've been looking for something to replace my Awesome Apple Pie for months with no success until now!
Edit 3/15/15: Latest version, significantly better.
- 3.5% FA Lemon Sicily
- 2.5% FA Custard
- 0.5% INW Lemon Mix
- 2.0% INW Lemon Concentrate
- 1% FA Citrus Mix
- 1% Sucralose (10% solution, I use TFA)
- 1% Ethyl Maltol (10% solution, I use TFA)
- 0.125% Menthol (10% solution, I use TFA) (1 drop per 30ml for me)
What is it with FA's lemon and lime that makes them fade like this? This sounds like an epically delicious recipe. Seriously.
No idea, most citrus flavors IME don't hold up over time though, it's not specific to FA.
One thing you could try with the lemon is Hangsen's Lemon Mix. Seriously strong stuff... 1 drop/30 ml, and go from there. The bottle is very interesting. Give it a try if you have some.
Added 5 drops per 10ml of INW Lemon Concentrate and 1 drop per 3ml of INW Lemon Mix (Wera Garden) to this already mixed up and holy fuck does that lemon pop better now.
Will play around with some fresh mixes around the weekend.
Nana Cream V2. Got rid of dragonfruit and citric acid. Freshly made and delicious. Ill see how she steeps.
LA Banana Cream -6%
Tfa Strawberry - 8.4%
Tfa Gramhm Cracker - .5%
Fa Black cherry - .5%
Fa Blackberry - .5%
Also made one with 7% strawberry. 50/50 blend. inawera wild / tfa. And added bilberry instead of the blue and black. However forgot to save the recipie. Ill be seeing how the inawera strawberry tastes over time.
How'd she age?
My first addition to one of these threads.
I set out to make a really tasty Strawberry Custard, and ended up with something that tastes more like strawberry milk. The only thing is that I think the strawberry disappeared, but that night be my crap palate. Anyhow, friends have sampled it and they like it, so it might just be me. I enjoy it, but really wanted strawberry.

I shake and mix, toss it in my ultrasonic cleaner for as long as ill can remember to push the button while playing games in my computer, and vape away. I have mixed it with 6mg nic and 3mg nic with little difference in taste. Please give feedback on what I might be doing wrong. :-) If you enjoy it, great!
RE: strawberry disappearing, I've noticed that CAP Vanilla Custard will often mute other flavors - I mixed up a CAP VCv2 + Berry Crunch flavor (with a few other things), and the Berry Crunch taste became VERY muted. That's happened a few times with other flavors as well, but I think I've narrowed it down to the CAP VC just not playing nice with certain flavors after a certain amount of time (a few days?)
I mixed up a similar recipe and have had the same muting problem with (cap) vanilla custard. Is there anyway around this while still using the custard? Does dropping the percent work or does it need to come out all together?
Xpost from my orignal post.

Thank you all for your contribution to this subreddit and lets keep this rolling!
Can I suggest a couple things? One: Formatting. add a "* " or "- " before each ingredient name, and then hit enter twice after each item, this will make a formatted bulleted list so it's easy to read. Or just use double enter after each so it's not all on one line, at least.
Two, after you edit this post to add formatting to these 3 recipes, take the other two recipes in this post and repost them in this thread separately in thier own top-level posts, so people can discuss each recipe individually rather than all 3 jammed together. That format is how this thread is supposed to work.
Appreciate your contributions here! =)
I only use my phone for Reddit. Is there a way to do it that way? I tried the "enter" button in the phone and while it skips a line, it does not show it on the actual post once posted.
This is something I'm working on at the moment.

Easily the best mix I've come up with to date.

- Meringue (FA) - 1.5%
- Oba Oba (FA) - 2.0%
- Dragonfruit (TFA) - 3.5%
- Strawberry (FA) - 3.5%

Mixed @ 4% nicotine and 80%VG (1.5% PG)
I know most people on this subreddit only use TFA but if you've got FA in your arsenal and mix this one up, let me know how you like it. It's been my ADV for about a month now.
Just made this up. Been working on it for a while. 4th batch. Think it's good to go now. So good.
7% CAP Juicy Peach
8% TFA Mango
6% CAP Vanilla Custard
1.5% CAP Coconut
.75% TFA Sweetener
2 drops/10 ml CA
Drop the sweetener to .5 if you like yours a little less sweet.
bluebell grape bullet pop
darn tasty shake n vape
colorless grape LA (super strength) 7%
bavarian cream TFA 3%
vanillin 2%
Ella's sweet strawberry (purchased from high desert vapes) 2%
2 drops EM
2 drops koolada
I made 15 ml. Took me a few minutes of vaping to place the flavor but it triggered a childhood memory. :)
My tobacco made for the old man:
- TFA RY4 4%
- TFA Toasted Marshmallow 4%
- TFA Kentucky Bourbon 3%
- TFA Graham Cracker Clear 2%
- TFA DK Base 2%
- TFA AP 1%
- ACV .5%
- ECX Lemon .3%
After I made him this, everything else I think he'll like 'just isn't as good'. I'm proud I made his ADV, but doomed any future kudos for my efforts, he just won't budge!
I made this and as is, the bourbon was way to strong for my liking, and seemed to overpower everything else. I probably would have been questioned at work if someone smelled my breath. Knocked it down to .5 and its right on time. Cheers! hick
Here is a very good tasting butter pecan custard. I had made this small 15ml up about 3 weeks ago and just got around to trying it. It is so tasty and is my first try with butter pecan from flavor west. I am not sure how this would be as a shake and vape as I never tried it till now.
Butter Pecan Custard
- 6.00% - Butter Pecan (Flavor West)
- 1.00% - Fresh Cream (FA)
- 1.00% - Vanilla Classic (FA)
- 4.00% - Vanilla Custard v2 (Cap)
- 2.00% - Vienna Cream (FA)
I just mix3d this one up and, as I always do, taste-tested a drop on my finger. Man this is going to be some good shit after it steeps. Thanx much for sharing!
Ape Escape v.1.1
This is a play on the Snake Oil Cypher.
Work in progress.
-
Banana Cream (LA) 8%
-
Bavarian Cream (TPA) 3%
-
Coconut Extra (TPA) 1%
-
Sweet Cream (TPA) 1%
-
Peanut Butter (TPA) 1.5%
My first concoction (even though it's built off of the snake oil cypher). Pretty good so far. I plan on doing more work to it as soon as I get my FA flavors and pipettes in this week.
this sounds pretty good. im new to diy but i have all these flavors coming minus the sweet cream. i will prob give this one a shot.
Cool! Be sure to post back and let me know what you think!
I got more flavors in, but haven't had much time to mix anything new in the past week. :(
Blue(berry) Waffles!
5% TFA Waffle
5% TFA Blueberry Wild
3% TFA Bavarian Cream
1% TFA Sweet Cream
I've also mixed this with 6% Waffle, and it was just a tad too sweet for my taste, but still delicious. My next batch I'm planning on throwing in 0.3-0.5% TFA Chai Tea to give it a little spice.
Any steeping time recommendations? i just got some capella waffles so i will prob give this recipe a shot,
Eh, probably a few days. I have a habit of not making juice until I'm almost out, so I usually don't let my juices step as much as they should. But yeah, it was good right after moving, but mellowed and evened out some more after 3-5 days
Let me preface this by saying that I've never been a huge fan of Cinnamon Danish flavors: they come on too strong and often leave your mouth feeling dry. I finally got LA Cream Cheese Icing in, so I decided I'd give it a shot. While I still find it to be a bit too decadent for an ADV, I think it has a really smooth taste that's pretty accurate to the genre:
- FW Cinnamon Roll 6.00%
- TFA Bavarian Cream 3.00%
- CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl 2.00%
- FA Meringue 2.00%
- LA Cream Cheese Icing - 2.00%
Vaping this on a Quasar, dual 24 ga. 7 wraps on a 2.5 mm bit, 65 watts.
Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake
- 1.00% - Apple (FA)
- 1.50% - Caramel (FA)
- 2.00% - Fuji Apple (FA)
- 1.00% - Marshmallow (FA)
- 6.00% - New York Cheesecake (CAP)
- 0.50% - Pear (FA)
- 6.00% - Salted Caramel (FW)
Bananas Motherfucker
was mixing up the nanner bear clone yesterday and whipped this up with it, pretty good straight away.
3% LA banana cream
3% TFA banana cream
3% TFA bananas foster
3% TFA banana nut bread.
0.6% TFA smooth.
Try adding:
- 3% FA Banana
- 3% TFA Banana Ripe (You really need atleast 3% for the super banana punch)
- 3% Flavorah Banana
- 3% Capella Banana Split
Your recipe looks ok but it's lacking enough banana flavor. ;)
/s
My intent was to get closer to an 18%-20% flavor total with this recipe but I'm undecided on what, if anything, to add that would further enhance this one. COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS WELCOMED!
Bourbon Butterscotch Ripple
- Butterscotch (TFA) 4%
- Cinnamon Ceylon (FA) 0.5%
- Sweet Cream (TFA) 2%
- Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA) 5%
- Vanilla Bourbon (FA) 2%
Flavor total 13.5%
Here's my first addition to the monthly threads, albeit, not terribly original. After all the cereal discussions, and my recent acquisition of a couple Flavorah flavors, I decided to try a lesser known cereal.
Blueberry Muffin Top Cereal
- 3% Blueberry Muffin (FLV)
- 2% Meringue (FA)
- 2% Yellow Cake (FW)
- 2% Hazelnut (FW)
- 1% Blueberry Wild (TFA)
This is just my first run, and it wasn't especially great as a shake and vape, but about 24hours later, it's starting to come together.
It could probably benefit from a touch of AP, and maybe more or a different blueberry accent, perhaps? I only have Blueberry Wild, currently.
Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated!
Gonna drop 2 recipes here for you guys. The first one is a Creamy Dragonfruit, the second is a completely different direction, a mocha shake with hints of strawberry and banana.
Creamy Dragonfruit
- TFA Dragonfruit 5%
- TFA Vanilla Swirl 3%
- TFA Caramel Original 2%
- FA Strawberry .5%
- FA Cream Fresh 1%
Straw'nana Mocha Shake
- FA Vienna Cream 1%
- FA Cream Fresh 1%
- FA Strawberry 1.5%
- FA Banana .5% (note: might raise this to 1%)
- FA Espresso .3%
- TFA Acetyl Pyrazine 1%
- FA Cocoa 3%
- FA Chocolate 2%
Vape the chocolate at a lower wattage due to the cocoa being a fragile flavor. I tried it at 50 watts and it was harsh, almost burnt tasting, but under 25w its good to go. Snatched the chocolate part from a recipe by HIC over at VU.
I've been trying to clone this random juice I had about a year ago.. A friend of a friend of a friend made it and all I knew was that it was called "Tigers Piss" After seeing Tiger's Blood I knew it had to be close.. and it was.
Standard Tigers blood+Dragon fruit/Sweetner
**Tigers Piss
Watermelon TPA-6%
Coconut TPA-1.5%
Strawberry TPA-12%
Dragonfruit TPA- 1.5%
1 Drop sweetner for every 5ml.**
If you've had tigers blood it changes it a good bit and makes it all blends a little better!
This is my first recipe that I feel is really a success. I call it Super Cereal. 70/30 VG/PG, respectively, and 0 nic on this run.
I wasn't really setting out to make yet another cereal vape at first. My honest intention was to make a sugar cookie with orange frosting kind of thing, but when that failed, I started playing with it and arrived at this:
-
4% FA Cookie
-
1% CAP Orange Creamsicle
-
.33% FA Lemon Sicily
-
.33% LA Bavarian Cream
-
.66% FA Fresh Cream
This recipe isn't trying to be any other cereal vape on the market. I like that the fruit flavors are undertones, and the fresh cream providing that touch of milk. If you happen to have any suggestions on this mix, feel free to post them!
Triple Vanilla
-
French Vanilla (TFA) 4%
-
Patchouli Vanilla (NN) 2.5%
-
Vanilla Custard V1 (CAP) 8%
The NN Patchouli Vanilla gives a nice earthy note. I believe someone else posted a recipe in the last month saying pretty much the same thing.
I mix at around 55/45 VG/PG. You can totally shake and vape this but it greatly improves after about 2 weeks aging...the NN Patchouli bite can be a bit much but it mellows out in time and the CAP Vanilla Custard really starts to get great and creamy as well at right around two weeks.
