Its Caramel Pie Ala Mode! And it's amazing! So much better than I thought it would be. I've been vaping on it for about a half an hour and it couldn't be better. I made 15 ml a d my initial thought was that it wouldn't be that good, and I would steep it for a week and try again, and it would be better but still not good. But I was absolutely wrong. That bottle cost me $0.86 and I have everything I need to experiment with other flavors to see what I like for a long time. I don't expect it to always turn out this good, but I'm so happy I at least tried it. My suggestion would be to find a clone of your favorite juice, buy the least amount of ingredients, and see how it turns out. I used nude nicotine for my pg,VG, and nic purchase and onestopdiy for my flavors. I really couldn't be happier! Edit: My auto correct doesn't recognise vaping as a word

Sounds similar to five pawn's Gambit, which I have been trying to get a good clone of since I started diy. I'm using a TFA apple pie, caramel, Graham cracker clear, vanilla swirl and Bavarian cream. Doesn't have the same pie crust flavored exhale, or the strong vanilla ice cream either. Have you tried Gambit? Was this what you were trying to clone?

I can't bring myself to make that much. Haha I can only do 10 ml. It's like my wallet with the flavors, much easy to spend small amounts than big ones

Once you DIY you'll kick your ass wondering why you didn't do it sooner. You save SOOOO much more money

Yea here you go - http://ejuice.breaktru.com/

Make sure to use a single XML file as your recipe/inventory/etc database and create a backup. Mine is just saved to dropbox.

Additionally, check the videos and functionality it's really fantastic.

Oh god you're right, sorry to the guy asking and the thread! This is JuiceCalculator as /u/GeorgeSC posted.

I have a few juice calculators open and made an error.

0nic?

by SLIGHTLY_UPSETTINGover 10 years agoMixologist

0nic for larger batches, I add nic later and even then it's 1.5~mg tops.

I'm considering switching to PG nic just because it mixes so much easier.

How is la banana cream compared to tpa/tfa banana cream

1 points

by SLIGHTLY_UPSETTINGover 10 years agoMixologist

I'm not sure, I've only bought LA Banana Cream, no TFA yet. However, I can tell you that TFA/TPA Bavarian Cream blows LA Bavarian Cream out of the water.

The TFA/TPA stuff also has much less food colouring.

It's not bad at all. I mix max vg so I only have 3 things to mix: flavor, nic, then add vg.

by browncow89over 10 years agoFrugivore

Next get the vg nic!

That's what I have but it's 48mg so I counted it separately as it's another ingredient to measure:P

Start with a small recipe of something you might like. Just 2 or 3 ingredients. You can get a sampler of nicotine from Nude Nicotine for the price of shipping and you can make a couple of 30ml bottles with it.

All in all, you need:

PG
VG
Nic
Flavoring
Some empty bottles from old juices you've bought previously.

And that is it. Start simple. It's unbelievably difficult to mess up a batch if you follow a recipe.
