My first original recipe, a peanut butter banana juice.
submitted about 10 years ago by moonerdooder

I'll apologize in advance. This isn't going to be a cool informative post like all the experienced mixers make here. I'm still a newbie and this is my first time mixing up something more than two flavors on my own.

I didn't try to reinvent the wheel, I basically created the recipe on a whim hoping it was somewhat good. I didn't do nearly as much taste testing as I should have beforehand (I'll be doing that soon). I used other recipes I've made with some of these flavors as a jumping point to get a start on a recipe to tweak. Definitely a botboy recipe or two helped, among you other incredibly helpful folk on here.

I would have waited to share it after doing some tweaking but I feel like some input would be helpful. And plus despite being an off the cuff attempt, it's an incredibly mediocre vape so I think it's good enough to share now. It's nothing great (yet) but it's tasty and vapable (I think), so if you try it out I hope you enjoy.

Without further ado, the recipe:

Banana cream tfa - 5%

Banana flv - 1%

Peanut butter tfa - 4%

Peanut butter flv - 1%

Milk Chocolate tfa - 2%

Cream flv - 1%

I mixed at 80/20 vg/pg 4mg. Build details on a mech below.

My tasting notes:

"First thing I smell after shaking is banana, faint peanut butter smell. Smells like the tfa banana cream. Smells delicious, could be great.

Dripping on the twisted build, .4 28 gauge I believe. It's good, definitely very vapable. Heavy peanut butter taste. The banana is there but not as much as I hoped. Maybe adding banana ripe would have been a good idea until I learn more about the flv banana. It's a very smooth vape. The cream isn't noticeable and maybe the milk chocolate? Hard to discern what that's supposed to be like against this much peanut butter.

Taste conclusion. Make banana the forefront. Maybe knock the peanut butter in half and try that. Try bananas on their own then decide which to go with. Maybe LA might be a good one to pair with the ripe to make it sweeter."

To answer the "why did you use those random flv flavors?" questions the answer is because why not. They were new, I've been itching to use them and figured it would add some variety and with some luck actually be good. I wasn't totally wrong, only downside is I'm not entirely sure what flavor is doing what (goes back to my lack of individual taste testing). I'll be doing what I said in the taste conclusion to try to figure out in my own what to tweak. But any input here, if you like one of these flavors and have some tips, is greatly appreciated.

This is a shake and vape, was made earlier today so it has had no time to steep, probably won't see that time either cuz I'm gonna vape aaaalllll this test batch. It's good, but it will be better.

The flv banana to me smells like a flavor in between LA and tfa banana cream. Seems like it could be great, that's one that I'll be trying solo probably tomorrow.

A big thanks to this community, couldn't have made this without you all. Hopefully within a couple weeks I'll have something worthy of posting in the recipe threads. Thanks for reading!

Thanks for this. I was vaping a Nana Cream knockoff and eating peanut butter crackers a few days ago when I realized I need this in my life.

My pleasure. That's kind of where my head was at too. If you're looking for "slap you in the face with fruit and banana" that nana cream is then you'll be disappointed. Like I said, this is a heavy peanut butter flavor, I'll be working on getting more banana over the coming weeks. The banana I was going for was more of a ripe banana which is why I'm gonna be trying this with tfa banana ripe but I'm going to try variants and making it sweeter with LA banana probably. You can definitely get away with not using the flv ingredients if you don't have em. Maybe sub a different cream, I think it'll help if you're looking for it to be a little creamy. Most will work probably. It's a decent recipe though, I'm satisfied for now. If you try it out lemme know what you use and what you think!
