Submission time! This has been my ADV for the past few weeks now. Banana/pineapple fluffy marshmallow thing called:
Sunshine
6% LA Banana Cream
3% FA Custard
2% TFA Whipped Cream
1% FA Coconut
1% FA Marshmallow
1% TFA Pineapple
This sounds yummy. I've gotta try it!
Damn decent vape my friend. I subbed caps golden pineapple at .75%, TFA marshmallow at 2%, and flv coconut at .35%. Seriously outstanding even as a shake n vape. Next batch I'll try a hint of FA cherry along with it
Did this one with 2% INW strawberry instead of pineapple (was out of it), and its delicious! Defo an ADV. It reminded me a bit of ADN Cascade, with added custard lul
How does it compare to Shisha Strawberry, if you have that?
Hey /u/notcharlesmanson, can I use FlV coconut at .5% and POSSIBLY CaP golden pineapple instead of TFA? I haven't had a chance to get tfa pineapple ansbafter trying FLV coconutni doubt ill ever get FAs. But I have a SUPER delicious fluffy kiwi berry using FA marshmallow I think you'd absolutely love. PM me for it I really would like you to try it pretty pleaseeee.
I would try probably somewhere around 5 or 6% Golden Pineapple. Maybe. I think I have a hard time tasting that flavor. It's super weak to me below 4%. I've never tried FLV Coconut, but the FA Coconut is mostly here to help enhance the tropical notes in the pineapple and banana. Not really meant to be noticed that much. So I would take whatever percentage you usually use FLV at in a recipe and use about 75% of that (if it's a recipe you can notice the coconut in).
I normally use it at about .5%, I have a weird memory when it comes to flavors, even if I don't have them I tend to memorize the average amount, so I figured you were using it for that purpose :D so yeah I'll try .5% tomorrow when I make it. That inspired me to try a dragonfruit Kiwi mallow I'm gonna try tomorrow also. And yeah I read someone on this post they said they mixedbit with .75% golden pineapple which kind of surprised me 0.0

This recipe is a reformulated version of my Bangin' Bourbon Bread, posted earlier this month.
Of course, I'm going to start with TFA Banana Cream. This is the exact overripe banana flavor that I look for in banana bread, so it's the main note in this ingredient. Next, I want a nice, moist cinnamon bread for my bread base. FLV Cinnamon Crunch is a fantastic dessert cinnamon that isn't strong, and adds just enough cereal flavor to make the next ingredient feel more "baked." It wouldn't be a bread base if I didn't use INW Biscuit. This is perfect for the sweet bread in banana bread, and plays wonderfully with the other ingredients. Truly a staple flavor for any homemade pastry base. Finish that off with a small amount of FA Joy to give it a bit more sweetness, and to highlight the biscuit flavor. Next is the nut flavor. This one was a bit difficult, because I don't have an actual walnut flavor, ~~and cutting the mix down to 5 ingredients doesn't allow me to~~ so I will emulate a walnut flavor using my other nuts. I like the sweet, mellow flavor from FA Almond to help get the flesh of the walnut, with FW hazelnut adding in a sweet, earthy flavor. FLV Peanut Butter in small amounts just to make it feel more "nutty." A hint of butterscotch to help make the flavor of the moist crust on top of the banana bread, and we're almost done. TFA Kentucky Bourbon is what makes this better than other banana nut breads. The flavors of bourbon go extremely well with bananas, cinnamon, nuts, butterscotch, and really any sweet pastry. This brings the recipe to a whole new level, adding complexity and character that is hard to match with other finishing ingredients.
- 6% TFA Banana Cream
- 2% FLV Cinnamon Crunch
- 1.25% INW Biscuit
- .5% FA Joy
- 2d/10mL (~.4%) FA Almond
- 2d/10mL (~.4%) FW Hazelnut
- 1d/10mL (~.2%) FLV Peanut Butter
- .5% FLV Butterscotch
- 1.25% TFA Kentucky Bourbon
This is slightly different from the original thread I posted above, as I added and tweaked some things that I felt need to be changed. This is not so much over powering banana sitting on a sweet base, but more of equal parts banana and sweet bread, with a hint of nuts and finished off with a sip of an oaky bourbon. ~~That's five flavors, and one bangin' eliquid. For additional depth in this liquid, you can check out the original thread posted above.~~
/u/skiddlzninja, this is good as fuck. I love how you balanced the banana cream with everything else. That peanut butter comes through just enough to wonder if it is peanut butter, and plays perfectly with the light hint of cinnamon. Color me impressed, skidpants. I'm very interested to see what another 3 or 4 days aging might bring to the table.
P.S. You're fucking amazing for the rush shipping <3 I owe you one.
:) thank you for the very kind words, it started as a recipe I threw together that tasted good, so I put a lot of time into making it stand out even more. It quickly became one of my favorite original recipes. I think I'm going to look into a stronger bourbon for the exhale though.
Edit: the shop owner that will be carrying my line said it's the only banana vape he has ever liked because it's so well balanced. The banana is just enough to be a main note, but not THE main mote. It's a recipe that I'm really proud of right now.
wow skiddlz. taste good but, on a technical level. great job with this one.
I just mixed this up on my R&D Station in the lab (Holy shit that felt good to say...0.0) and I must say, the balance of this recipe is fantastic.
It's one that I can tell the artist behind it, really put in a lot of time and care with.
the notes blend together so well but all of the main notes have their own distinction.
So from a technical/mixer point of view. You have my respect with this one m8! :)
edit: I think I love it so much, because FA Joy is actually used correctly here. A topic I plan on doing an extensive write up on because I believe many mixers here don't understand how to truly use it. (even some of the well known's around here, though of course I WILL NOT mention names) You nailed it with this recipe. you used Joy so well my friend. I'm priddidy proud
I have no fucking idea how to use Joy.
Think TFA Malted Milk, less intense, more effect.
Joy goes great in anything, bready but not cakey. Goes well in muffins that aren't super, super sweet. IE, Banana Bread or Apple Cinnamon but not Blueberry or Raspberry/Almond.
Joy coupled with Meringue gives a "powdered sugar/icing" feel. But if you go too heavy on the Joy it starts to act more like a yeasty bread feel.
I think Joy works so well in this because the malt-y notes from joy really help with the bourbon, where the ?yeasty? notes(I wouldn't really call it yeasty, but more of a risen bread flavor, somewhat similar to a hint of sourdough?) helps the bread. I'm glad I could satisfy your standards :D. And thank you so much for the kind words :D I've been getting a lot of good feedback from vapers IRL on it, but it really means a lot when people like you and NCM tell me that it's good. :)

Black Honey Banana
6% Banana Cream TFA
3.5% Black Honey Tobacco TFA
.5% Peanut Butter TFA
1% Marzipan FA
1.3% Caramel (Original) TFA
30pg/70vg is preferred for this recipe.
I posted a similar recipe a few weeks ago asking for suggestions. Since then, I have been playing with the recipe and doing multiple variations. I have found just how I want it to be. I wouldn't say there is really a 'star' of this recipe; the flavors come through pretty independent of each other. The exception being peanut butter, it is mainly used to add body but a hint of the taste is still there. This is a very mild tobacco recipe, much more of a dessert than a tobacco. Sweet, rich, and nutty with a full bodied feel.
The black honey tobacco has a rich honey taste to it, nothing like Tfa honey. It is an excellent mild tobacco flavor. When paired with the caramel and marzipan, it keeps its honey taste with added sweetness and nuttiness. The banana cream blends excellently with this sweet, slightly nutty profile. The banana comes through quite nicely, it is not suffocated, nor overbearing, it's just right. And finally, the peanut butter. I originally wanted peanut butter to be a big part of this recipe. I tried many variations with different percentages of it, high and low percentages. At high percentages, the peanut butter really overtakes this recipe and transforms it into a peanut butter with a hit of sweetness. Lower percentages are great for peanut butter in this recipe and I decided at .5% it does its job perfectly. At .5%, the peanut butter adds body and nuttiness which really helps add to the profile of the other flavors
On the inhale and exhale, I get a nice full bodied feel, which I attribute to the peanut butter and black honey tobacco. For flavors on the inhale, I get the caramel, a bit of banana, and a hit peanut butter. And on the exhale, I get a rich honey taste complimented by banana and a lingering taste of the sweetness and nuttiness from marzipan. Pretty good as a shake and vape, even better after a couple days of steeping. Give it a try and let me know. I love this recipe.

-
Sweet Guava (CAP) - 4.25%
-
Sweet Tangerine (CAP) - 3%
-
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA) - 2.50
-
Lemon Sicily (FA) - 1.50%
-
Lime Tahiti (FA) - 1.00%
I'm not a huge fan of putting EM or Sucralose in my juice, but I feel like it could also benefit from EM. This was mixed at 30/70VG @ 3mg.
This is more or less based off of a Tropical Orange-Guava Punch, which calls for orange sherbet, guava nectar, and lemon-lime soda.
I'm a huge fan of Sweet Guava, so I wanted it to be the main note. It's a very sweet and distinct flavor.
For the orange sherbet, I used Sweet Tangerine and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The VBIC can quickly turn into exactly what it is... ice cream, so I tried to keep it low to avoid this.
The Lemon-Sicily and Lime Tahiti are what makes up the lemon-lime soda. I am currently out of Champagne and I believe it could help this pop, so please if anyone tries this experiment. I'll be getting it back soon.
This is only the 4th revision of this recipe and i'm liking where it's going. It definitely not for everyone, but i'm really digging it so far. Hopefully you will too. If not, please don't hesitate to give feedback, criticism, and suggestions!
Oh, and this is a pretty good shake and vape, but improves after a few days of steeping.
Edit: mistyped a few percentages. It's up to date now.

Raspberry Custard
This seems like the place to post my best original. I hardly ever post my recipes because, well, they seemed inadequate. But not this one! I have been tweaking this for the last couple of months. It is by far the best representation of any raz custard that I have tried. The factor that brought it together for me was the combo of the 2 raspberries. TFA is good, just too light on it's own, and INW is pretty stout. Perfect together. The meringue gives it the sweetness, the fresh cream gives smoothness, and we know there's only one VC to use when going for perfection. The FA Apple pie gives that crusty goodness. I've left out or subbed at all different %, and this is what works best for me.
Cap Vanilla Custard V1 5%
FA Apple Pie 2%
INW Raspberry 1%
TFA Sweet Raspberry 2%
FA Fresh Cream 1%
FA Meringue 1%
Needs at least 4 days to come together, really best from 10 days on.
i have all of it besides sweet raspberry man. Anything close?
You could try using 1% TFA Strawberry and 1% EM in its place, but it won't be the same. It'll just give the INW Raspberry the sweet boost the TFA Raspberry Sweet is helping with. I would do a batch using that in place of Raspberry Sweet, and do what /u/coop34 said and bring up the INW to 1.5% and see which one you like more. On top of that, I might suggest adding 1% EM to the 1.5% INW Raspberry batch to cut down a little on the close-to-sour taste of INW Raspberry.

RY Whore:
I don't see very many tobacco recipes anymore, and many need weeks of steeping and/or wreck coils so here's one that is good right away, is fairly clear and easy on coils and your cotton. I also think it's pretty well balanced and even people who don't usually vape tobacco juice will enjoy.
FA- RY4 - 2%
FW- Vanilla Tobacco - 2%
FE- RY4 - 1%
FW- Salted Caramel - 1%
FA- Catalan Cream - 1%
FLV- Cured tobacco - 0.5%
FLV- Coconut V1 - 0.5%
Optional: TFA- Smooth - 0.5%
So for some notes, FA Ry4 has a good sweet caramel ry4 profile, but is pretty light on any real tobacco flavors so I paired it with FE ry4 that has a much dirtier tobacco flavor. FW Vanilla Tobacco smells delicious and I think it also works well here to add depth as a whole. Finally to complete the tobacco profile I used flv (flavorah if that's not the correct abbreviation) cured tobacco to finally bring it all together, it's an awesome tobacco flavor and probably my favorite, it's the heart of the tobacco profile. FE salted caramel is one of my favorite caramel flavors that works more like a caramel syrup, adding sweetness and a light caramel without overpowering everything else like a lot of other caramel flavors I've tried. FA Catalan Cream is great in tobaccos imo and adds creaminess while also adding body and a caramel spiciness that just works well to balance tobaccos out. Similarly, FLV Coconut (V1), I haven't tried v2 but to my knowledge it's just stronger, adds body and a toastiness to the flavor, other coconuts would probably work similarly, but I really like this one so it's what I used. Tfa Smooth is optional, I think it helps to meld sharp tobacco flavors together and well, Smooth out the profile, but it doesn't really add anything perse and it's still good without it in there. End scene!

Chain Reaction
- TFA Earl Grey 1%
- TFA Key Lime 1%
- TFA Strawberry (Ripe) 2%
- FLV Blueberry 1%
- TFA Watermelon .75%
- INW Cactus .75%
This is my ADV, although i haven't shared it yet. It gives an amazing vape using the sharpness of Earl Grey and juiciness of cactus as the base. and is complimented very well with a mix of other sweet flavors.
Firstly, Earl Grey gives it a very refreshing base, and a sizeable throat hit. Then Key Lime being a main note is nice and sweet when combined with the provided compliment flavors. Strawberry and blueberry are small additives to solidify it on the fruity scale, and for a good mouthfeel. Watermelon is a barely noticeable but gives it a great complexity. Above all and very important is Cactus, This mixes with the sharp throat hit of Earl Grey to give a juicy mouthfeel.
This recipe was designed to be an ADV, giving a very sweet and satisfying hit, with a wet exhale to keep you from getting dry mouth!
This looks so good, if only I had FLV Blueberry. And TFA Earl Grey. And TFA Watermelon. And INW Cactus. :'(
Bunch of oddball flavors right? it's some good shit though!
This sounded right up my alley. I had the key ingredients but had to make a couple substitutions for the complimentary flavors. I used FA Lime Cold Pressed in place of TFA Key Lime and used TFA Blueberry Extra at 2% and FA Bilberry at .5% in place of FLV Blueberry, and mixed up a test batch at 3mg 80/20. This is probably a little less sweet, definitely could use some tweaking, and almost certainly isn't as good as the original...
But I really like it, even as a shake-and-vape. The primary notes of Earl Grey and Cactus are on-point and make for a very unique flavor! It's worlds away from another strawberry-and-cream, and it's refreshing like whoa. It's herbal but still juicy, and light enough to be an ADV. I especially like what the hint of watermelon brings to it. I'm definitely going to be experimenting more with your Earl Grey/Cactus base combo. Great original idea, and a solid contribution. Upvoted!
I really wanna try this. Got all the flavors. But I have a weird aversion to strawberry. Can I leave it out? Replace it with summing?
If you were to leave a flavor out, it would definitely be the strawberry. It's not noticeable at all, basically used as an additive to sweeten things up and smooth the Earl grey. There won't be a huge difference with or without it. And let me know how you like it! It's very popular with all those that try it. Still to this day I keep a bottle on me at all times.
