I need some great recipes to invest my money in yo. Time for flavor order and don't want to miss any great recipes.
8% kiwi double 4% strawberry Both TFA shake and vape I love this simple strawberry kiwi
Dammit, I hope less people recommend strawberry, as I can't taste it and I hate my taste buds for it.
Do you not taste strawberry when making your own, or only when purchasing strawberry juices? I found that ones I purchased weren't nearly as strawberry intense as the ones you can make yourself. I followed a super simple recipe of 6% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust and 10% TFA Ripe Strawberry. That one had a very pronounced strawberry flavor, while a juice I bought simply didn't.
I'm not OP, and my situation might be different... but TFA Strawberry has always tasted like a nursing home to me. It's like I have a 'blind spot' in my palate.
Even before I was DIY'ing I noticed it with commercial juices, and narrowed it down to 'some strawberry flavor' - later I realized it is specifically TFA Strawberry.. not ripe, not any other vendor.. just that one specific flavoring. The longer it steeps, the worse it gets.
It sucks because it's such a popular flavoring in the DIY community.
Honestly I don't remember, I don't think I could taste commercial juice either. I couldn't quit with my nautilus when I vaped commercial but when I got my current setup I immediately got into DIY, that was a few months ago. Only strawberry I've tried is TFA regular and I can't taste anything no matter the percentage.
Really sucks because I love strawberries in everything else.
have you tried using Capella's Sweet Strawberry? I find that even people who have issues tasting strawberry can taste it in my mixes when I use it.
I'm a noob, so my list isn't very long yet, but...
- Rhodonite (IMO the best of /u/enyawreklaw's offerings, and I've tried most of them. Super delicious.)
- Perpetual Check
- Sugar Bear (with my morning coffee)
- Nannner Bear (not a terribly accurate clone, but I'm addicted to the OG and can't afford that shit.)
Still trying to come up with a replacement for the last commercial juice I can't stop vaping... Ice Kiss from Ahlusion - like a vanilla peppermint with a bit of cream. Once I get that done, I'll be off of commercial juice forever.
Try this one with your morning coffee
Shit! I forgot all about this. I mean to PM you a while back when you sent me this. While it's not a spot-on clone, it's fucking delicious.
That looks good, I'll give it a shot.
Am hesitant about the coffee pairing, I needs mah cinnamon for that. Maybe the graham will fill in that requirement.
I grabbed all those flavors but ordered CAP Butter on accident. This sounds really good, so I'd like to give it a try with a sub, what does CAP Butter Cream taste like exactly? I have some sweet creams and I have plenty of CAP Butter to experiment with, lol.
Butter cream is an odd flavor but it won't make/break any recipe. Here's a post which has a pretty good description of it.
>Butter Cream
>So i'm trying the Butter Cream right now... It's interesting. i'll do my best to describe it and see if it's useful. I'm vaping it standalone at 6%. Honestly tastes like straight up butter. You know that smell of smell of butter when you melt it, it's kind of like sour almost? That's what it tastes like to me.
>NOT a good standalone vape that's for sure, percentage might be too high as well. Good flavor at 6% but not in-your-face. Could definitely see some use to this in a complex recipe, but not as a main feature unless you just love butter.
>It's butter. Best way to explain it. Very good mouthfeel to it as well, it coats your entire mouth.
You could try to replicate butter cream although I'm not sure how close it would be. I'd probably start somewhere in the neighborhood of +1% VBIC & +0.5% Butter
when you get that vanilla peppermint cream nailed, please post it. I used to chew this gum a few years ago that was peppermint vanilla and I loved it.
Will do.
I plan on starting to work on it this weekend. I've never made my own 'complex' recipe before, so wish me luck!
Since I'm a noob at it, it will be nice to have some feedback on it.
I love peppermint. I really like a few simple recipes.
10% Mint Candy (TFA)
Or
8% Peppermint (Cap or TFA) 8% Vanillin (TFA) (Optional) 4% Toasted Marshmallow (just gives it a little creamier texture.)
Is that 5% Cinnamon Ceylon seriously not too much, after steeping? In the Perpetual Check clone.
IMO it's not.
I've tried other recipes where it was way overpowering at even lower 1.3% (specifically this)
I'm not sure what the deal is, but even at 5% the main note is the fig. I assume some kind of reaction with another ingredient(s) toning down the ceylon. I was thinking maybe it was either the cream or the sweetener, but I have no idea.
No one who I've talked to that tried that recipe thought it was overpowering though.
Wow, that sugar bear clone is completely different than mine.... Like, not even a singled shared ingredient. Never really had sugar bear though (I know, I hate when someone talks about a clone and then tells you they've never tried the real thing before).
Is the cinnamon in the original really "in your face" profile?
I've never had it either :\
I just like it because it's a sweet bakery cinnamon, somewhere between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast crunch cereal. Goes well with coffee.
What recipe are you using?
Funfetti is by far my favorite. I love Tenacious Toast by Simply E-Juice, it's the same thing as Bear Claw by Fog Dog so I ordered the stuff to make Cinnamon Danish Medley and Cinapple Fritter by returnity, I really hope one of those delivers so I can start making it and stop buying it.
- Nana Cream clone
- Mustard Milk
- Strawberry Shortcake Bar (minus the stick hee hee)
- Beard 64 clone
- Astronaut clone
- Bronuts
- Looma
- and an old TFA Kiwi Strawberry juice found in Botboy's list of recipes
Wanting to add Mustard Cider and Awesome Apple Pie into the mix soon
Which astronaut recipe are you using?
Its this Strawberry Astronaut - https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/3j27at/strawberry_astronaut/
I'm trying to figure out how to link
/u/r0guez0mbie, do this exactly: [whatever you want you link text to be](insert link here) and it'll look like this!, btw thanks for the recipe link. What would you rate it out of 10?
Ba'nana Cream
Awesome Apple Pie (the second version with FLV Rich Cinnamon is hands down the best, lower the cinnamon to your liking (some prefer ~0.1%, others are fine with it @ 0.3%)
The Ultimate Crunch Berry Cereal
Rockin Razzberry (swap the raspberries for INW Lemon Concentrate and FA Lemon Sicily for a Lemon Sorbet instead)
All 4 of these are in my daily rotation.
You should at some point come and rate your own recipe. I'm going to add your other ones later. BTW, how is rockin razzberry without the menthol?
It's just fine without. It's really just in there to cool it down a little. You could swap for a bit of koolada instead if you prefer, or just leave it out entirely.
Can you shed a little light on when/why to use koolada vs menthol and vice-versa?
I know koolada adds less chemical flavor, so as a newbie I am wondering if there's a situation where menthol is better.
I notice that razzberry recipe uses both, what's the deal there?
Man, that Crunch Berry is really good. I loaded it up after about 10 days of steeping and it actually tricks my brain into thinking I am drinking sugary milk. I didn't like it at first but after going back to it this may be my current favorite vape.
Carnage Clone Replace FA strawberry with TFA Strawberry Ripe @ 4%
Placid Clone I upped both Key Lime and Lime Tahiti to 0.75% each.
Blueberry Custard (Mashup from two different redditors)
I'll add links after this boring project management class...
Thank you. I'm very interested in trying all three of these recipes.
Hey thats my placid clone (:
I think you are right and the limes need to go up a tiny bit. I also think that maybe some sweetener. I have an order of placid coming and will test against it again when it gets here. Glad you like it!
Yeah, it's very close. Almost indistinguishable to the OG Placid. The limes @ 0.5 were a little underwhelming and @ 0.75 it helps a bit.
Thanks for the clone! :)
Apart from my own mixes, I always have a glass bottle of these stashed and steeped.
Zoochberry
Cereal Killa Clone
Nana Cream Clone
Muffin Man Clone
Bronuts
Mustard Milk
Crunch Berries
Awesome Apple Pie
Unicorn Milk Clone
My Reddit best ofs.
Which Muffin Man clone do you make?
Awesome Apple Pie sounds really good, do you have a link to the one you use?
V2 has I think +1% INW Biscuit and something like +0.25% FLV Cinnamon IIRC
I've only found 2 so far that I really enjoy and vape daily:
Grants vanilla custard my way and
That is the best custard I have tried... Incredible mix
I've been vaping the shit out of the TFA Honey Peary clone.
I read about people either loving or hating honeydew. I wasn't sure as I hadn't tried it.
I love this shit out of honeydew.
Just started into diy so this is great. Ive made the bombies clone a few different times. Bronuts has been alright so far. My attempt at milk and honey after a couple of days steeping still feels off but the way you guys are talking with the breakfast vapes making me want to go get some more flavors.
Not trying to self-advertise here too much, but I have a milk and honey recipe if you want to give it a shot. It's the only one I've tried that actually tastes like milk and honey.
I tried this but I subbed tfa marshmallow at 2.5%. I was disappointed. How critical would you say FA marshmallow is?
I think the FA marshmallow really gives it the..fluffiness?..it needs. For my taste, TFA marshmallow just seems to make it too sweet and brings out the cookie too much. Again, that's just for me. You may just be disappointed with this mix either way. Different folks, different taste buds, as the old adage goes.
I can FINALLY consider my daily rotation as all DIY! Although, these remaining "premium" juices are left over and may wind up in the trash.
-Mustard Milk in my Delta 2
-Blue Custard with 0.66% of sweetener instead of 1% in my Arctic
-Blackout in my Zephyrus
This thread is full of links to clone recipe gold. Nice work.
Highly recommend Funfetti and other recipes on /u/enyawreklaw's site diyordievaping.com. It might be posted elsewhere here. Several flavors show up in a few of those, good flavors to keep on hand.
Anything botboy recommends is probably bomb. Saving this thread for future reference.
- /u/returnity's Cinapple Fritter
- /u/Furyxus's A Real Nightmare Clone
- /u/vapor_trails_nw's French Toast
- /u/edbtzy's Pearry Cream

How accurate is that ARN clone?
I've been wanting to try it, but I'd have to purchase a lot of flavors I probably won't use for anything else.
It's probably as close as we can get, even /u/_bombies said that at least one ingredient was correct and at the proper ratio. /u/_bombies has previously stated that it is like 10 flavorings or something like that, so an exact match is improbable. But ARN was one of my vendor ADV's and this cmes close enough to replace it.
Yeah, hopefully he'll follow through with open-sourcing the recipe since he's retiring the juice due to high diketone levels. Sounded like he was open to the idea.
*Strawberry Shortcake Bar (minus the stick)
*Obviously bronuts
*Strawberry Cheesecake Beard Vape Co #5 clone
*A fontana "clone" I have yet to post. Fizzmustard's line. Still perfecting...
*Another clone. Northern Lights Bear Claw
*Lastly, my own recipe. Grethari
I'm also working on a truly balanced, yet deep watermelon. Another peach one based on Geography's French Quarter. I'm getting there, its close. I promise.

Awesome thread!
As for recipes known by the community, I cannot be out of the infamous Nana Cream Clone.
Other than that I must have a TFA Crunchberry and a TFA Fruit Circles with Milk experiment laying around, usually these are a variation of the cereal at 8-10%, TFA Vanilla Custard, and TFA Graham Cracker Clear, and a few other random flavors.
I plan on trying other custards, TFA Vanilla custard is all that I've really tried.
