Got a little bit of a boost today.
submitted over 9 years ago by NASAguy1000

ok fine ya needy bastards recipe is down at the bottom. this is an approximation because i usually just mix by feel on what to add but this is going to be close to the last time.

I have been feeling pretty down due to may factors anyways i went to my local auto parts store to exchange my old batteries and such. Noticed the guy there vaping (he just got a new set up) and as it turns out everyone there vapes. So we are chatting and so on and i grab my bottle of diy juice and offer them a try. It was 3mg so no worries there, told them it was my white chocolate french vanilla candy cane. They kinda look at me like defuq? But they try it and their faces just drop and go damn. Wait you made this? Ya. Damn. Its a flavor that is 100% mine and i have been tweaking here and there for over a year and it was just good to see two people just get gobsmacked by the fact that this juice blew away almost anything they have tried before and i made it. Gave me a bit of a boost which is welcome right around now. Just wanted to share with the sub and if this post is not allowed mods sorry i read the side bar and didn't see anything and wanted to share.

Edit: I will give you needy bastards the recipe once i get home and get on my pc.

edit 2: the recipe: i call this juice Festivus so here it is.

Ingredient|% :---|---: French Vanilla (CAP)|3 French Vanilla Deluxe (TPA)|4 Mint Candy (TPA)|3 Toasted Marshmallow (TPA)|2 White Chocolate (TPA)|4

Flavor total: 16%

French Vanilla (Cap) can be subbed with V2 :) Toasted Marshmallow (TPA) isn't necessary but adds a little something to the undertone.

and thanks to /u/daath for formatting help

That's cool as fuck. Well done on the juice!

I had a similar feeling when I caught my cousin sneaking out of a party to vape... Had no idea.

Let people try your juice and they will probably really like it. I have a coffee I've been working on for a long time that I thought was just alright but my friend says it's the best coffee flavor he has ever vaped. He doesn't even like coffee. I don't think it's done yet because I need to reduce the flavors used and fine tune everything but people seem to like it.

If you just start experimenting with things you will eventually find an amazing recipe of your own.

Funny you should mention coffee! I've been hacking away at a coffee recipe since I started, trying to make something that my dad likes better than Virgin Vapor's Kona Coffee Milkshake, and I'm close, but I'm not there yet.

I won't even let him try my attempts, because he is soooo critical.

I've had some nice responses to a fruit mix and a mint mix using INW Eucalyptus+Mint & TFA Horehound, but those are easy. I'm just dreaming of that one-of-a-kind, multi-layer recipe that really blows people away.

I'll get there some day!

If you want to talk coffee maybe we can get a PM going, i'd definitely be interested in seeing what you've come up with.

I will say that the best coffee flavor I've had is FA - Coffee Espresso(or maybe dark bean now? it changed I think). It takes so little to fully flavor a juice, I usually use .5 to .75% and it is more than enough but I want a stronger coffee taste. What are you using?

Properly formatted:

Toasted Marshmallow (TPA) isn't necessary but adds a little something to the undertone.

let me know on thoughts. its just smooth enough to be an adv while enough flavor verity to make it so you dont get vapers tongue. i have gone through maybe 90ml strait and still taste good. i think because the mint keeps the cream refreshing.

Can the mint candy be subbed for something else like TPA Peppermint?

1 points
 
by NASAguy1000over 9 years ago

probably. idk try it and use a percentage of your discretion.

damn another flavor to buy! do you think fw candy cane can sub for mint candy?

1 points
 
by NASAguy1000over 9 years ago

I honestly would not know. If it tastes more like a candy cane than like strait up mint it will work just fine. But subbing menthol or koolata would not work. But most of the mints that are more like candy should work fine. Just use at a persentage of your discretion something that is enough to get a minty after taste while not over powering.
