Can we do a simply recipe thread?
submitted over 10 years ago by bknows

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.

I'm digging this lately.. Apple Pie and Ice cream..

5% Apple Pie V2 (CAP)

3% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)

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

There's nothing wrong with sticking to one brand. The cultists at VU pretty much mix exclusively with FA. Actually, that could also be why that site sucks. Not sure where I'm going with this anymore

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.

by goldfish_of_chaosover 10 years agoMentholatier

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!

2 points
 
by Eastl33yover 10 years ago

When I run out of peach I like to sub in 6-7% TFA ripe strawberry. It's a good way to mix it up a little and still a simple recipe.

by bknowsover 10 years ago

Thanks everyone. I think we're off to a good run.

I think that it can be discouraging for beginers to see all the 12 ingredient mixes. At least it is for me. Especially with a limited arsenal of flavors.

I like this one for warm days;

  • TFA Jackfruit 6%

  • INW Eukalyptus .5%

by Thegreensgoblinabout 10 years ago

What does jackfruit taste like? I have INW eucalyptus and haven't found a great way to use it yet

1 points
 
by ihatetoridethebusabout 10 years ago

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.

1 points
 
by CloudColorZackabout 10 years agoMixologist

I don't think tropical punch is a good description of this flavor. It's kind of... cactus-ey. It's somewhat similar to FLV Pink Guava, which is another flavor that's weird and hard to describe.

6% Sweet Strawberry (CAP)

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.

Good reference. The way I get people to try it is pretty reminiscent of the PCP scene. You should try it with a little coconut (3%) and koolada (4%) if you can. It tastes just like a banana popsicle.

by aaa12585over 10 years ago

Is this a more dark banana cream?

I'd imagine vanilla bean ice cream would make this more dark than the intended description...

1 points
 
by 1800fullytorquedover 10 years ago

When I said light, I was referring to taste, not color.

0 points
 
by aaa12585over 10 years ago

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.

I just mixed up something very similar to this!

Inw cactus - 2% Inw Mango -2% Fa lime cold press -1%

Super good. 2% la watermelon is also a good addition.

I'm really intrigued by this cactus. Definitely going to get some on the next order.

by bknowsover 10 years ago

Me too. I feel like I need to order some just to see what it tastes like.

I'd never had dragon fruit before in my life. And still have never had a real one. But I love it in my vape juices.

I made this a few times before I discovered koolada. now I swap it in for the menthol and it's perfect for cool watermelon without all the extra throat hit.

Is the Fuji that strong at 4% as a stand alone?

4% is plenty strong for FA Fuji alone.

I'm going to go ahead and throw the recipe you mentioned a few days ago out here. It's awesome

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.

It's good, but I think it could be better. I'm ordering some INW Lemon Concentrate and Lemon Mix to give that a try with Frosted Lemonade and a couple of other lemonade recipes.

by Furyxusover 10 years ago

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.

S'camel is brilliant. It is one of my favorite tobacco bases to play around with. You could also add a touch of Hazelnut if you wanted.

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!

by goldfish_of_chaosover 10 years agoMentholatier

I look forward to trying this once I get some Greek yogurt.

by xHighFlyinover 10 years ago

After about a week and a half the pear comes out as the top note and seals it away. I made a batch today, and with no time to steep it was just a very mellow creamy concoction.

by Eastl33yover 10 years ago

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.

1 points
 
by bknowsover 10 years ago

I love watermelon mixes. I have LA watermelon. It needs at least like 15% I feel. I'll definitely be moving to tfa next.

1 points
 
by Eastl33yover 10 years ago

TFA Watermelon is good, decently strong, but very artificial tasting. It isn't like the fruit, but it's exactly like any watermelon candy

1 points
 
by Vapespinover 10 years ago

Do you have any experience with TFA Watermelon vs TFA Watermelon Candy? I think that is the name off the top of my head. I meant to buy just watermelon but ended up buying watermelon candy and don't know if it's the same or what...not sure what to do with it.

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.

He thinks it's working perfectly for him, because he doesn't know better. At don't 10% custard don't bother to add anything else because all you will be able to taste is custard

by goldfish_of_chaosover 10 years agoMentholatier

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.

1 points
 
by Vapespinover 10 years ago

Cake batter and cookie looks interesting, can you elaborate on this one? How it turned out?

1 points
 
by goldfish_of_chaosover 10 years agoMentholatier

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

1 points
 
by Vapespinover 10 years ago

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...

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

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.

Fe strawberry kiwi @ 5%

Fe grape @ 5%

Fe granny smith @ 5%

These are great by themselves. As single flavor recipies. Add creams or complimenting fruits for added flavor. Fe = flavor express

by JohnGoattiover 10 years ago

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.

by buildyourdefensesabout 10 years ago

One that I mixed up recently and I liked.

Juicy peach(TFA) - %5

Mandarin orange(TFA)- %4

Banana cream(LA) - %1

Harsh at first but is good after a few days steep.
