What is the best fruit/mint standalone juice?

submitted almost 10 years ago by MarineR3con

I checked the sidebar for flavors and it seems like dragonfruit by tfa would be nice for a single juice fruit vape. However, im also into menthol/icy mint vapes as well. Im going to be making juice for the first time soon and i want to start off simple with only 1 flavor so i dont mess things up. I know fruit vapes can be a shake and vape so im staying away from the custard/savory vapes(also to avoid the acetoin/acetly propionyl). What do you recommend for a single flavor juice?

My main "all day, every day" juice before I started DIY was Blackberry Breeze... mentholated blackberry.

"Single flavor" is hard to do right with it, but I'll give you a few ideas for that. You might want to look at Gremlin's pre-mixed bases.. they are multi-flavor recipes that they sell pre-mixed.. you just add PG/VG/Nic.

I use koolada for 'menthol' coolness.. I have yet to work with actual menthol.

I've gotten down one mix that isn't terribly complicated and is absolutely delicious IMO. I really think it's noob friendly, even if it does have 4 ingredients.

"Single" flavor ideas...

INW Raspberry @ 2% to 3%
TFA Blackberry @ 4% to 5%
FA Fuji (apple) @ 4%

Add TFA Koolada at around 1% to any of these for that "icy" effect.

Again, I really think the following recipe is newbie friendly, so don't be scared of it. I personally like it far better than any commercial version of 'blackberry ice' that I've ever had, and I've tried numerous. Mentholated berry is kind of my schtick.

BlackBlood Ice

Ingredient|% :---|---: Blackberry (TPA)|2 Blackcurrant (FA)|1 Koolada 10% (TPA)|1 Raspberry (INAWERA)|1.5

Three underscores on a separate line.

"___" without the quotes, on it's own line.

Don't feel bad. I can barely manage to insert the bullets half the time. I'm embarrassed to admit I've struggled with proper formatting so much that I've deleted entire responses and replies in defeat.

Since you asked for a single flavor, jungle juice. 13-15%. Shake, Vape, Enjoy. I swap back and forth with this and a VCT variant for work.

I mix this at 13% 30PG/70VG and it seems spot on to me, I love this juice! :-)

This was the first juice from mtbaker i ordered online over a year ago, vaped 60mls of it and forgot about it, recently order jungle juice to revisit it and been on it for 2 weeks or so.

Between these three vendors you can find anything you might want at good prices. Unless you're buying bulk in large quantities, going direct to the manufacturer usually is more expensive.

What percentage do you use for the Harvest Berry?

by NowFappingalmost 10 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

I used 2 percent hb with 5 percent Bavarian cream and could hardly taste the cream so imo it should be >2%

5% standalone. It's strong though and overpowers everything I put with it even at 1%.

1 points

by AdamantiumShanksalmost 10 years ago

I foolishly didn't check how strong it would be and have a few bottles at 15% made up. It's pretty much unvapable. I'll just mix up some VG/PG/Nic to thin it back down though.

NN's Blueberry Mojito. It's blueberry, lime, and mint all in one flavor.

Also, NN tamarin d'oh @ 6% is wonderful after a couple days

How strong is the blueberry? I have 4 NN flavors and like them a lot; I really like lime and mint but not so much blueberry, so I skipped that one.

you're in luck then, because the blueberry is pretty weak. when i mix it i add extra blueberry. to my palate i get lime, then mint, then a very faint blueberry

FW's Cucumber Mint is a nice, smooth spearmint with just a hint of cucumber. Honeydew can bring out the cucumber note a bit more. For a standalone fruit, TFA's Jackfruit is an interesting mango-like tropical flavor.

FW Jungle Juice. If you've ever had MBV's Thug Juice, that's it. Grape, watermelon, lots of menthol. 10-15%.

I'm not as much of a menthol fan as a mint fan, so, not sure if my recommendation will be useful to you, but I can't get enough TPA Spearmint. It's so crisp and sharp and fresh and real. It's strong as hell, too, so you can get a lot of mileage out of a bottle and, while I prefer it with a bit of FW Extreme Ice & TFA Koolada to round it out, it stands up beautifully all on its own.

Like others said FW Cucumber Mint, Jungle Juice, and Blackberry Mojito are pretty awesome stand alone flavors. FW spearmint and Wintergreen are also some favorites of mine. Other fruit flavors I like alone with menthol/mint are:

|CA Golden Pineapple| |6-8%|
|CA Sweet Mango|: |8%|
|FW Watermelon| | 6-10% (kinda candy-ish but still one of my favs)|
|TFA Pomegranate Deluxe| |4-8%|
|FW Blueberry| |6-8%|

All of these are pretty solid single flavors and go well with menthols!

This ones not a single flavor but I thought I'd share since it has dragon fruit in it.You could definitely simplify it, I started out just using Dragon fruit and Strawberry in this recipe but added in the other berries later on to add complexity.

TFA Dragon Fruit 2%
TFA Strawberry   5%
CA Harvest Berry 3%
TFA Raspberry (Sweet) 4%
FW Menthol 1%/ FW Extreme Ice/ Menthol of your choice

FW Candy Cane in the neighborhood of 10-12% is excellent as a single flavor mix.

Not enough FLV on the list. Many of their's are stand-alone worthy, including Pink Guava, or Creme de Menthe.
