Long time lurker. I've finally put together something that I feel is worthwhile to give back to this community.
Baja Mas v1:
10% TFA Citrus Punch (Mtn. Dew)
5% TFA Blueberry Wild
3% TFA Champagne **
2% TFA Key Lime
1% Citric Acid (DiY 10% in PG)
Inspired by Keitare's Baja Blast v2 recipe on ELR.
This is a really good representation of Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
Out of 8 people that I've asked to do a "blind vape test" only one did not immediately say Baja Blast, and he's never had it before.
The champagne could be omitted, it just tastes like its gone flat.
**03SEP15:
As /u/8orangepuma8 pointed out, the champagne percentage is a little high. I haven't dealt with champagne much, but based on his comment this flavor may develop much more with steeping and overpower the recipe. V1.1 may reduce this ratio.
That's a mad amount of champagne! After a week steep I bet that is strong!!! I have kept cutting my champagne usage down every time I use it and I'm down to. About .75-1.0 % for whatever I use it in. Looks like it would be a tasty vape though!
im mixing now will report back!
I did this with about the same ratios and it's close but still off a bit. I don't have my exact ratios on hand, but if I recall, I did:
- 8% TFA Citrus Punch
- 8% TFA Blueberry Wild
- 1% TFA Key Lime
- .5% TFA Champagne
It's good, but not quite Baja Blast. I have played with small amounts of Cantaloupe, Coconut, Mango, Papaya, and also Hawaiian Drink. (no) Surprisingly, the Hawaiian Drink came closest, imo.
Interesting additions. DIY makes me really wish I was a super taster, so that I could pick out the subtle notes better.
That's another confirmation that I overdid it on the champagne. I would be worried about what this will taste like in a couple of weeks, if I thought it would last that long. I guess I'll force myself to save some, for science!
Can i purchase this from anyone? Not in the position to create my own juice at this moment.
Mitten Vapors has a Baja blast that's pretty amazing and cheap. They have a 25% off coupon for this weekend too.
I can second Mitten Vapors, but let it steep for a little while. It was very acidic tasting to me at first but mellowed out after about a week. I'd also recommend getting it with less nicotine than normal because it's got a harsher than normal throat hit, at least for me.
Good stuff though!
