New Recipe : Mr. Clean's Mega Bathtub Mix (by request of Hocusdickbreath)
FA Bergamot 5% FA Hypnotic mist 5% ECX EM 1.25%
Shake and steep for 1-2 days. Much too intense the first day.
Built it on a bergamot vape I had been working on. The bergamot was great by itself, but it was lacking something. I made straight hypnotic mist vapor, and that was good as well, but the two together have some amazing qualities. The inhale is sweet jasmine, but not too heavy, with an earl gray exhale. The overall experience is much like an earl gray tea with honey and milk.
Edit: wow. For a DIY sub, this shithole sure is full of self important fuckwads. This is a recipe. With notes. What, you want me to just make shit up?
Well the bergamot was very bergamotty and needed something not so bergamotty so I added some rare asshole juice and then sniffed some little boy bicycle seats.
Fuck you I'm done.
1.2 bergamot fa
3.6 black tea fa
.3 em
The em needs to be spot on. Too little And its too harsh, too much and its too smooth. I however have had inw black sun tea and will be replacing fa with that. It smells too damn good and its a lot smoother which I think will help.
The thing with Earl grey... its literally bergamot oil with black tea with a bit of lavender put in. So to make the ejuice you literally just need those three ingredients :D plus em because fuck sweetener
This response has a long way to go, but with a little help we can get it there (top of thread).
im honestly kind of flattered that you think this should be top thread. I myself have been looking for a good earl grey. This earl grey is too precise for everyone to make tbh
I've literally made 2 bottles at the same time and one was too smooth and the other too harsh. So fucked
Also, did not know that earl had lavender- thanks! I wonder if hypnotic has that, too.
Depends on who is making the blend. At its most basic, Earl is just bergamot. I work in a tea shop and we sell a double flavored Earl grey that is just bergamot, but we also have an Earl with lavender and rose (one of the better sellers). More Americans buy the lavender/rose version while I notice a ton of British folks grab the original one because the bergamot itself is the flavor they want emphasized. Either way, delicious floral goodness.
Still better development notes than the OP.
Bahahaha. :( that saddens me. Im just posting my journey with the blackest of teas
Why does it sadden you? it was a compliment. You stated why you used each flavor, what each flavor added that would be missing without it, and a good breakdown of what the flavor is intended to be and turns out to be. All that in, like, a fucking paragraph. Rule #6 is stupid easy to not break.
Recently ordered Hypno Mist along with a bunch of teas/mints/herbals - Didn't order Bergamot though :(
I'm super interested in developing more of this style of recipe in the DIY space, there doesn't seem to be much around here.
%'s seem a bit high just based on my research but it's interesting nonetheless. Might have to grab Bergamot and give it a try at around 6-7% total flavoring.
Side note: the shitstorm in this thread feels like a bad omen to me. Similar vibe as I got from ECR last year when it started getting too big for its britches. Not used to seeing that type of negativity here.
Seriously man fucking people are snobs. About the strength- I use a mech mod with a hellboy rda at .23 ohms and it seems very smooth. Maybe my tastes are just different?
Calm down man, it's a great recipe. I love some Earl Grey. I don't like florals in vapes, even though I love them in tea and candies, so was gonna pass. But after seeing your update, wanted to know what the hubbub was about. Just ignore the snoots. Plenty of well balanced people are still going to read and thank you, whether to themselves or in a comment. Not everyone around here needs to see the 32475 iterations some picky snoblet went through to get the "perfect vape", the difference of which is probably irrelevant by the time they got there, because vaping that much of the flavor will have altered their perception of the product anyway, and nobody else will have the exact same feelings they had about it. The chemicals in your mouth, the hormone levels you have, your age, the climate, the humidity, are all going to affect taste. I've been looking for more recipes with this kind of simple elegance, and less of those asinine "well the one drop of flavor this way or that, in about a gallon's worth of juice, just MAKES OR BREAKS THE WHOLE RECIPE BLERG A WERG A WERG angry noises" comments.
Rule 6....
He has notes so don't start trying to be a Reddit super-hero.
You're talking to the mod that wrote the new rules.
OP didn't offer SIGNIFICANT notes.
Also, I would probably gag on this recipe after a two week cure.
> Also, I would probably gag on this recipe after a two week cure.
First off I don't care who you are I don't scare and cower from any keyboard warriors.
What a great community. Let us insult some more people's work.
Significant to what??? Significant to Reddit or the Internet its self? Significant to the knowledge the Mods have about mixing these flavors? Significant to ....
Significant is a loose term. You can't be fair and make a rule based on the word significant when you never put what it should be significant to.
Of course who ever said anything on the internet or Reddit was fair.

I offered developer's notes. Need I say more?
I wonder how this sub would respond to my recipes.
Put VG in eye dropper
Put nicotine in eye dropper
Eyeball the flavor, about two part cola one part cherry.
Inhale tastes like cherry coke. Exhale tastes like cherry coke. Mouthfeel feels like I don't know what mouthfeel is. Leaves hints of cherry coke. Let steep for cherry coke time.
Not sure if you're being snarky or sincere, but yes, you do need to say more. Saying that bergamot was good but not great, hypnotic mist was good but not great, and the two together is great, then giving a flavor profile of the juice is not significant development notes.
> Recipes belong in the monthly thread, UNLESS they offer SIGNIFICANT development notes or other info that helps mixers up their game.
I was ready to discuss the flavor profile with the OP until thread was hijacked. Significant to me... I never seen this combination...
Who does this need to be significant to? You? Can you please post all of your mixing knowledge on Earl Grey and let the community know what is appropriately significant to mixing such recipes?
Significant is an opinion just as taste is subjective. If the mods feel it is not significant enough for their opinion of whatever recipe notes are suppose to be significant to.
Then they should probably just either delete it.
No reason to throw out these Warnings or whatever these "rule 6" statements are suppose to be. Especially when no one knows what the fine line of "Significance" is in this Sub.
I had someone do the same shit to a post I had and I described every part of the recipe. It was a recipe no one had ever created. I found it to be significant to myself. Thirty people liked it . Yet someone came in with the whole "RULE 6" comment and I am still trying to decide what kind of significance is presentable for such a community.
Your notes are rather insignificant.
How on earth is the overall experience like earl gray with milk and honey?
You just said the inhale is straight jasmine, with an exhale of straight bergamot. I can't imagine hypnotic mist tasting anything like black tea at that percentage when it has many a time been compared to vaping dryer sheets.
Did you say straight bergamot because you don't believe him or because the OP has been edited?
The "Rule 6..." comment was a pretty low-key nudge, and any deficiency in the notes seems correspondingly low-level, and so does OP's response to the criticism. As I write this all the other comments in this thread compose a tempest in a teapot. If you will. imo.
Edit: I mean yeah, it would be a much better post if he gave more details about the two recipes this was born from, and some comparisons of different levels of these same ingredients. But why does anyone have to come in hot? The escalation that takes place here gives the haters (people who call the sub toxic, or from the other direction incompetent) undue credibility. Let's be friendly.
Pretty sure you're getting brigaded, or this thread is. Every comment disagreeing with this guy is downvoted to hell, while everything he says is upvoted. Shit that would normally be hidden by downvotes if said by any other user is somehow getting 7 or 8 upvotes.
yea, i don't care about downvotes, especially when I was only stating a rule. I mod 2 groups of my own on FB, altho... I'm not a dude, and I don't really care to be called a name by a child. I'm sure my kids are older than him.
It's just fishy to me that a thread with a simple recipe for a flavor that is shared once a month has gotten so many upvotes, especially while breaking rule 6. Any other recipe with that little of information gets downvoted to 0 before we remove it.
