I searched an found an old thread with a couple simple recipes and thought it'd be a good idea for one. Im talking about recipes with 2-3 flavors.
I'll start with my first successful mix that was vapeable.
- Strawberry - 8%
- Dragon Fruit- 3%
- Apple -6%
- I also add some cotton candy for sweetener but this is optional.
This may be a bad example but like I stated its my only recipe so far.
5% Juicy Peach, 3% Bavarian Cream, both TFA.
I have Capella's Peaches and Cream V2 which alone at 12 % people love
Its supposed to be a SpaceJam Omega clone
I'll get crucified for saying this in this sub, but I've been DiYing my juice for 6 months and have yet to try any flavors not from TFA or my NN starter kit. I feel like I'll go overboard if I even visit another website and dump a whole paycheck into flavors. But if there's a good peaches and cream out there, I might just have to take that risk and visit Cap's site
I have barely branched out past TFA. TFA is just tried and true workhorse flavors. People can obsess over quality of this and that, because I get it, I really do. Ultimately how much time, energy and money are you wasting on chasing the allure of something that may not even exist. I do want to mess with some Inawera though.
If it works for you, stick to what you know. A lot of people bitch about flavours but I mix what I like and I like what I mix. Started with flavour west, moved to tfa which I mostly use now with a few fa and the trusty old Capella vanilla custard.
I've been so busy with all these strawberry flavors that I've been neglecting my juicy peach. Will definitely whip up a batch of this tmo!
I like this one for warm days;
-
TFA Jackfruit 6%
-
INW Eukalyptus .5%
What does jackfruit taste like? I have INW eucalyptus and haven't found a great way to use it yet
I never ate the actual fruit, therefore I would describe it as a tropical punch taste.
It is a good standalone flavour, but I never tried it with something more complex, let's say a creambase.
I add eucalyptus if I want more of a medicine taste instead of just freshness that menthol provides.
I'll play.
-
TFA Banana Cream 6-7%
-
TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 5‰
-
TFA Ripe Banana 1‰
Makes for a nice light banana cream.
My nigga. This is pretty much my ADV.

Is this a more dark banana cream?
I'd imagine vanilla bean ice cream would make this more dark than the intended description...
When I said light, I was referring to taste, not color.
I know. I should have said heavier. My bad.
But when you include vanilla bean ice cream, I always noticed a sort-of heavier creaminess.
So, I'm wondering if this could really be considered light...
Like, dairy light? Or FA banana cream light?
Feel free to ignore me, I'd like a description, but I guess I'll just mix it up and find out. Only reason for me asking is because I've been lead astray before, so I'm sorry for inconveniencing you.
Also in monthly thread
- INW Cactus 1.5
- Cap Sweet Mango 2
- INW Mango 2
I'm really intrigued by this cactus. Definitely going to get some on the next order.
I have this mixed up but cant verify its taste yet. But, it got good reviews from what I've seen
- Strawberry 6%
- Vanilla bean Ice Cream 8%
Yeah, that's Mustard Milk by /u/fizzmustard. Proper credit where credit is due.
Here are a couple of simple ones I like:
Fuji
FA Fuji 4%
Frosted Lemonade
CAP Juicy Lemon 9%
TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 5%
Is the Fuji that strong at 4% as a stand alone?
4% is plenty strong for FA Fuji alone.
How is the Juicy Lemon in this mix? I have the flavor but am not too sure about it being much of a lemonade flavor...haven't used it a whole lot though.
One of my favorite simple recipes I've made is 12% Capellas Chocolate Glazed Donut + 5% TFA Bavarian Cream.
Try out 8% chocolate glazed doughnut and 6% cap vanilla cupcake and a touch of sweetener if desired ( I'm pretty sure these are the percentages; I don't have my notes in front of me). It's delicious. Think of those little half chocolate/ half vanilla muffin bites. Yum.
- Inawera S'camel 1.5%
- FA Chocolate 1%
>Dash of Acetyl Pyrazine to taste. 3 week steep minimum.
- FA Lime Cold Pressed 1%
- INW Raspberry 1%
- FA Mandarin 1%
>Good fresh.
I'll be mixing the S'Camel/Chocolate up this weekend. S'Camel would be good with just about anything.
This is my first mix and it seems to have turned out pretty well
TFA Pear 5%
TFA Granny Smith Apple 3%
TFA French Vanilla Cream .5%
TFA Greek Yogurt .5%
The yogurt and vanilla are rough estimates, I did about 5 drops each into a 15ml mix, which is extremely subjective, opinions welcome!
I look forward to trying this once I get some Greek yogurt.
I just pulled another off the shelf that I hadn't tried before. 8% Watermelon, 2% Sour, both TFA. Tastes almost exactly like Hubba Bubba watermelon gum. I've had it sitting for maybe a week but it's simple enough that I don't think it needs steeping.
I love watermelon mixes. I have LA watermelon. It needs at least like 15% I feel. I'll definitely be moving to tfa next.
TFA Watermelon is good, decently strong, but very artificial tasting. It isn't like the fruit, but it's exactly like any watermelon candy
A good simple custard that never disappoints
- Vanilla Custard v1 (Cap) 10%
- French Vanilla (Cap) 2.5%
Add whatever you want to that, or leave it just how it is
I'm looking for a good custard. I don't know if any of you have tried Nicotickets custards last stand, but I want a custard like that. I know he makes his own vanilla but he almost has to use the same custards we do. I want to know his secret.
That's too much custard . try 4% .
4% vanilla custard (cap) 5% banana cream (tpa)
.
2% cake batter (cap) 2.5% cookie (FA)
.
3% Fuji Apple (FA) 1.5% kiwi (FA) Few drops of menthol or koolada
These are 3 of my backup capes that I keep around for when my taste buds are overstimulated from the 10 flavour mixes I keep trying. Simple is good.
Cake batter and cookie looks interesting, can you elaborate on this one? How it turned out?
I like cookie on its own but feel it needed some body, something to carry the flavour. Just a little cake batter or a little cap vanilla custard will give it a thickness and heavier vape. I'm using a lot of cake batter recently. I find it to be like yellow cake but doesn't gunk your coils
Sounds good, yea when I first started DIY I was really trying many different variations of vanilla custard. I ended up doing some CAP cake batter in one of my mixes and it came out really stellar. Problem is when I first started I wasn't labeling anything so I forget which one of my 8-9 trials was the correct version!
May have to make them all to find out...
TFA Banana Cream (DX) 5%
TFA Pear 3%
TFA Coconut Extra 1%
optional: TFA Koolada (at a 10% dilution) .5%
Easy fruit cream. The percentages may look low, so feel free to adjust them up, but I personally like more mellow flavors. I'm still tweaking this one but I've gotten through about 60mL of it as is
10% hazelnut, 6.67% banana, 3.33% dx bavarian cream. All TPA. My first recipe, very hazelnutty as you can imagine. Pretty high overall flavor percentage, but it works well and isnt that overwhelming.
Also, what started the DiY for me was a craving for rootbeer that i couldn't find anymore! TFA rootbeer is good alone at around 10-15%, but 10% rootbeer and 3% dx Bavarian cream is another mix i enjoy
9% TFA Strawberry Ripe
9% TFA Banana Cream
Or 10/8 either way to have a little more of one or the other but for a simple two flavor recipe, can't go wrong with strawberry banana.
Also Mustard Milk by Fizzmustard is perfect for this type of thing
I picked up some LA watermelon and strawberry flavorings from Walmart before I knew anything about the correct way to DIY. Would it hurt to use them? And these have coloring in them which is why I haven't opened them.
This one's been around for ages and it's good (leave to steep for a minimum of a week before vaping as it takes a good while for the flavours to do their magic)
4% Cap vanilla custard V1
3% Cap French vanilla
3% Cap New York Cheesecake
Simple recipe that keeps on improving the longer it steeps. I make 100ml at a time and love how the caramel from the FV comes through more with time.
