Happy Mixing!
I am posting yet another one that requires some steeping time. So mix it now, start tasting after a week, after 2 weeks it really starts to shine. A full month is bliss. It is very caramel forward, and sweet. Trim the Caramel Candy and Meringue back to 1% for less sweetness. The Almond is overwhelmed at first, but does really make this recipe different.
I have been playing with this profile off and on for months now, and am happy with this finally. One of my goals when mixing is to make something with a longer shelf-life, so I can make larger batches that don't "go flat", or get muddled. Patience.....
FA Almond 2%
FA Caramel 1%
FW Caramel Candy 1.5%
TFA French Vanilla 1.5%
FA Meringue 1.5%
Cap Vanilla Custard 5%
Just made 120ml of this, delicious
I know these questions are hated here... But is there much difference in FW Caramel Candy and FA Caramel?
Definetely. FW is sweeter, more like it's name suggests. It's the main note here. FA is weaker, and not that caramelly to me. I use it here to back up the CC. IMO these are the best 2 caramels to have.
Don't want to be 'that guy' either and my little bit of experience with caramels says the answer will be 'no' but any chance one of the following could work in a pinch in place of FW Caramel Candy?
FLV Butterscotch
FW Butterscotch
TFA Caramel Orig
TFA Caramel Candy
CAP Caramel
A caramel custard and something with almond have been on my to-do list for a while, so I'll pick some FW Caramel Candy in my next order but that might be a while off.
Have you tried using marzipan in this?
No. What does that taste like to you? I never did like it. Gave it away after numerous tries....
I'm all over this today. Making 250 mls. Thanks for the recipe!
Wow really? You're welcome, and I hope you like it!
I will get the 3 missing ingredients to make your recipe, it sounds really good. I have been hunting an excuse to order some MF flavors.
Hey could you tell me how you use PG/VG with this?
I do 40pg/60vg for all my mixes. It already needs such a long steep to be at it's best that I'm sure 70-80% vg would be ok too. I'm vaping a 7 week old batch right now, it's good:)
Cactus Juice:
-
3.5% INW Cactus
-
6% TFA Raspberry (Sweet)
-
3% TFA Dragonfruit
-
2-3% Koolada
Very cool and juicy vape, very refreshing! Cactus will always be one of my favorite flavors, great all day vape.
Edit: Sub in 2-3.5% INW White Grapefruit for Cactus depending on how citrusy you want and call it White Citrus
How is the Cactus not overwhelming? Any more than a few drops per 30ml and my mixes always end up tasting like aloe vera.
All of the percentages are 3-4 times what I would use so I imagine the balance is still good. I never got aloe from Kaktus, unfortunately I just got floral-ness. :(
I have only used TFA raspberry sweet in one recipe at about 2% and it was still so strong and artificial tasting. My friends love it, but I much prefer CAP raspberry. It's sweet, but very authentic tasting. Like a ripe raspberry. And TFA Dragonfruit is one of my go-to flavors. It might be what's really rounding the edge off the Cactus. It's great for smoothing harsh notes and blending flavors together imo.
I thought the same thing. I have one recipe with Cactus at 2% but for others I've found 0.5% to be too much. It would take a lot of convincing to get me to mix up something with 3.5% of it. Or 3.5% of any of the INW flavors I've tried so far, except pineapple.
I really love this one (I always kinda preferred fresh and fruity vapes over too creamy ones though). Today, I tried to take the Base flavors of it and added different fruits than Raspberry.
Anyway, I started toying around with it some more, and did the following:
-
3.5% INW Cactus Lime
-
3% TFA Dragonfruit
-
1% Koolada
-
0.5% Sweetener
This also makes the recipe more citrusy, while the sweetener helps to make the lime not too overpowering. It almost tastes kind of like a mojito to me. I still think that there is a lot to improve here though - the lime is a little too overpowering. Any idea how to mellow it out? Maybe drop the percentage of cactus lime to 2.5 and add 1% of regular cactus?
I don't have INW lime nor have I tried it but I may try something similar with INW lemon
Just wanted to add some notes...great job! Bought Cactus and Koolada for this. When I did a shake and vape it tasted like mustard...cool mustard. Anyhow, that's died down and I find myself keep coming back to it. Very refreshing, light, slightly cool, with some citrus. Very little raspberry taste. A great vape!
I mixed up both of these and I couldn't really do the cactus all day but the White Citrus was awesome man, great job. I crushed a 60ml quick!
Sometimes I fall into a special kind of slump where all of the things I'm trying to mix are becoming muddled messes with too many flavors to even tell what's wrong. I recently sat down to mix and realized that my 13th attempt at a perfect lemon cream puff was about to have 13 flavors, up from 11 the last time I tried and failed at it, and luckily I stopped myself in time.
When this happens, it's time to either make a standby favorite, break down what I'm trying to do into components and work on just one part, or go back to basics and make some simple things with totally different profiles. I picked back to basics. Lemon cream puff can wait. So, I revisited an old project, an attempt to clone a B&M chain's house recipe for a woman. I haven't had that juice, or that woman, in a month of Sundays, so I no longer care how far off it is from the original. I fidgeted with the %'s a bit and that's how
Strap-on was born.
-
FA Strawberry 3%
-
FA Watermelon 3%
-
FA Fuji 2%
Just a simple apple fruit punch with a crisp apple bite on the inhale and sweet fruit blend going out. Delicious. Enjoy. Pairs exceptionally well with a Ketel One salty dog and an unshakable suspicion that the part of you that was ever really alive has been dead for longer than anyone knows.
Totally Shake-and-Vapable. Super-customizable as well. FA fruits can be a bit on the dry side, a tiny bit INW Cactus will fix that right up. Or go the other way and moisten it with a little TFA or CAP marshmallow (I don't recommend FA Marshmallow for this particular combo). Or play up the oddly tropical aspect of it by laying it all on top of a big pile of dragonfruit. Whatever butters your biscuit. Edit: formats and stuff
Do you think this would work with substituting strawberry ripe for fa strawberry? Idk how different they are I've never tried fa strawberry.
They both have a natural, not-candyish, strawberry flavor. But, I think FA Strawberry tastes like a freeze-dried strawberry you'd find on a space shuttle, while Strawberry Ripe tastes like a strawberry you weren't quite sure you wanted to eat because it's mushily over-ripe but are glad you ate it anyway.
A combo of Strawberry Ripe, FA Watermelon, and FA Fuji sounds delicious to me, but I think it would taste very different from this. FA Strawberry here is melting with the watermelon into a fruit punch. I think if you use Ripe instead, your high note will be major melon and your base will be more of a strawberry-apple fruit salad.
That description of FA Strawberry brings back memories of those astronaut ice cream sandwiches lol. This recipe caught my eye but I only have TFA strawberry, Strawberry ripe, and INW Strawberry shisha. I know it wont be the same but which one would you recommend to try in place of the FA strawberry?
Your strawberry apple idea is very similar to one I've been making and perfecting for a while.
TFA Strawberry (Juicy) 6%
TFA Apple Candy 5%
TFA Peach (Juicy) 5%
TFA Sweetener 1% - (my addition, it works well though)
Amazing finish and heavy residue on your tongue. IMO watermelon from them is super weak, almost has a lime hint. Could be way stronger. I gave yours a shot though, will see how it turns out tomorrow.
It's hard to go wrong putting strawberry and apple together. Did you mean Strawberry (Ripe) or is there a Strawberry (Juicy) I didn't know about?
Mixed it yesterday, vaping it atm. It is so damn harsh - to me. But it tastes pretty good!
Strawberry Phwoar – Dat Cream –
In addition to the massive sweet strawberry goodness that is Strawberry Phwoar this - Dat Cream - version is for those who really desire more... don't care what others think of your obnoxious addictive cloudy uber yum yum goodness. It's basically a creamier version of 'Strawberry Phwoar' and tastes a lot like that red squirty sauce you got on processed ice cream when you were a kid. Enjoy!
I’m an idiot when it comes to writing notes, but stay with me :)
Ok so I’m posting this recipe, as I think it’s really good. I’ve been trying to get a particular strawberry flavour for quite some time…
...Two years in fact.
So I’ve been through the lot…almost all of them, I thought I would never get the certain flavour I desired. I’m quite proud of this strong flavoured juice and I think it’s best at 80/20. By all means adjust to your liking but you may need to lower some percentages. It is shake and vapeable but I wouldn't and it's way, way better after 5 days in a dark place. I do breathe my bottles once a day as the shisha needs to cook a bit, if that makes any sense at all.
The flavour of Cheap Vanilla Ice Cream with red squirty sauce on top. I’m British and if you’re from the UK you know exactly what I mean. Yeah….that flavour!
Likened to a Strawberry Cornetto but cheaper and sweeter. ….Dirty :)
Sweet Strawberry (CAP) @5%
Strawberry (FA) @3%
Shisha Strawberry (INW) @1%
Strawberry (Ripe) TPA) @0.5%
Cotton Candy (TPA) @2%
Cream Fresh (FA) @3%
Butter Cream (CAP) @2%
Sweet Cream (CAP) @1%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA) @1%
MTS (FA) @0.5%
Super Sweet (CAP) @0.5%
Wow, I actually have all these flavors. Thanks for posting
This stuff is good...mixed it up today in a 30ml..cant put it down gunna have to make a bigger batch and see what its like steeped
Yeah it's kind of addictive...I get vapers tongue after an average day with it so often vape two tanks at the same time. One with this in and one with a totally different flavour profile so I can keep getting that taste throughout the day. Really am thrilled you like it to :)
Does the TPA CC cause it to mute after an extended steep?
Also love seeing MTS used. One of the best additives in the arsenal.
I cannot say as I've only ever been able to keep a bottle for three weeks....by which time this stuff is nectar. It goes quick.
I can say I use Cotton Candy TPA on another recipe I call 'Petes Pink Milk' of which I have been vaping solidly for over a year, is similar to this recipe and is good for 4-5 months. I tried variants but nothing got that sugar candy note like CC TPA. :)
Edit - Also yeah MTS. When you wanna mush it all up in a gooey yummy dessert that stuff is perfect!
Y'all are trying so hard to make me move Shisha Strawberry up higher on my list of flavors to order.
Do itttt. It's my favorite strawberry... uh, out of the two I can actually taste, anyway.
Shisha at 1% is an absolute must. It's the jelly yum yum part. At 2% it's overpowering but 1% has been damn near perfect and I think hard to find in any other flavour by the strawberry name. :)
I just got shisha strawberry on Friday and I'm itching to mix something with it. So this is going to be the first. I have no MTS though. I have TFA smooth but I can't remember how close those two are. How would you handle that?
Edit: I just omitted it. I'm not even sure what it adds. Maybe I'll pick it up next order.
MTS stands for something I can't remember what but I learned off DIYorDIE it can enhance some flavours. It's also know as a 'blender' so it'll mix it all up and mellow this out. It really does make a difference in my opinion but each to their own, that's what this is all about :)
i was recently on a strawberry search so have most brands of strawberry in my stash but couldnt quite nail anythin i was completely satisfied with, so gave up dissapointed and switched back to custards, however i decided to give this one a whirl as had all ingrediants and i must say its a little gem , knocked up a 100ml of it and so glad i did, many thanks u/PWaiters from a fellow brit !
Dude you have no idea how glad I am to hear you liked it! I'm currently vaping Strawberry Phwoar original and I really think it's one of my best juices to date. This version is sometimes a bit too much for me all day but original seems to go a lot longer which is a rear thing in strawberries, for me at least :)
Is the cotton candy by TPA just 10% EM in PG? Or is it the Circus version?
Cotton Candy TPA so the circus version i suppose :)
TPA makes two Cotton Candy flavors. One is basically just 10% EM, the other is made with something else and is an attempt at recreating a blue cotton candy flavor (that's the one they call Circus).

I can never stop tweaking my dang recipes, BUT after several months I am finally starting to get the hang of things and I am desperate to share! This is a recipe that I have been tweaking for 6 months, I believe it is finished but I welcome any input! Thanks to everyone for this sub.
Et tu? (Snickerdoodle w/ milk)
- Cinnamon Sugar Cookie (TFA) @ 4%
- Vanilla Classic Madagascar (FA) @ .75%
- Marshmallow (FA) @ 1%
- Bavarian Cream (TFA) @ 3%
- Catalan Cream (FA) @ 1.5%
- Vanillin 10% (TFA) @ .75%
- Cookie (FA) @ 1%
- Rich Cinnamon (FlavorAh) @ 1 drop per 10-15ml to taste
30/70 pg/vg Steep: Overnight - 3 days - 1 week - all delicious.
My notes are 1 drop of rich cinnamon per 15ml, however I think one drop in a 10ml will be fine just more cinnamon. Also, by drop I literally mean a drop out of the bottle.
How is TFA cinnamon sugar cookie? I have cap sugar cookie.
It's... good. The problem is there isn't enough cookie or enough cinnamon in it. This is why I have cookie AND cinnamon added to the recipe.
I've used this cream base for several things, so if you have most of that you could probably do sugar cookie at 3-4% (drop FA Cookie out) and maybe do two drops of rich cinnamon. I bought a lot more flavors than I need, so most of my recipes are me trying to find a way to use them.
I mixed up an alternate recipe of yours based on what I had and it's pretty darn good. Here's what I did:
-
CAP Sugar Cookie 4%
-
FA Vanilla Classic Madagascar .75%
-
FA Marshmallow 1%
-
TFA Bavarian Cream 3%
-
FA Fresh Cream 1.5% (I didn't have Catalan Cream.. never tried it I need to order some)
-
TFA Vanillin .75%
-
FLV Rich Cinnamon 1 drop/10ml
Butterscotch Banana Frozen Custard
20PG/80VG
Steep: 24-48 hours
- TFA Banana Cream @ 4%
- FA Banana @ .5%
- FLV Butterscotch @ 2%
- FW Butterscotch Ripple @ 3%
- CAP Vanilla Custard @ 2%
- TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream @ 3%
Not a particularly exotic or developed recipe, but darn delicious! This was inspired after I got a concrete at Freddy's Frozen Custard -- banana & butterscotch make for a helluva combo!
WARNING: This one is loaded with delicious diketones
EDIT: Messing with this one some more and getting additional flavors, I've noticed HS Banana makes for a better banana accent in place of FA Banana. I would use this in the range of 0.5%-.75%, recommend at .75%
Looking forward to this, the cap flew off my Vanilla Custard so I ended up with 6% in the bottle... and probably 100% on the scale... will remake at the proper percentage but I bet my diketone bomb version will be tasty!
Hello Everybody, I'm new here. Mixing and reading this sub for 4 months and this is my first finished recipe that I've been working on for 3 months.
Sweet, deep, vanilla & fruits cream - like a first kiss. Fruity on inhale, caramel and vanilla dominates on exhale. Gives thick, a bit milky mouthfeel and has that nice caramel that stay on your lips.
- <FW> Magma Current @ 6%
- <TPA> Ripe Strawberry @ 2%
Magma Current is a hidden gem - very sweet, warm fruits. Definitely must try! Strawberry Ripe is here to add creaminess to magma and blend it with creams.
- <CAP> Bavarian Cream @ 3%
- <TPA> Vanilia Swirl @ 3%
- <FA> Merigue @ 1%
Bavarian Cream and Vanilla Swirl are giving nice thickness. Meringue is here for extra milkiness and sweetness.
- <FA> Caramel @ 1%
- <CAP> Cinnamon Danish Swirl @ 1%
- <INW> Lemon Cake @ 0,5%
- <ANY> EM @ 0.5%
Caramel rounds everything and stay on your lips. Cinnamon Danish is perfect spice for Magma Current and boosts it a little. Lemon Cake gives nice texture so mix isn't flat. EM is optional.
Best after week, good after overnight steeping.
Feedback very appreciated!
Not gonna lie kinda want to try this based on that seductive description alone.
Edit: This is going to be my next order a flavors, will try!
What does magma current taste like?
HoneyDEWWEY: A Boba REMIX by [ENYAWREKLAW]
(click here for the full flavor notes // click here for ELR export)
This recipe is my take on the popular Dewwey Boba eliquid. It's a sweet and pleasant honeydew with a touch of cantaloupe and a splash of cream on the back. The reference seemed like a pretty darn easy recipe to tackle, since I was already familiar with TFA Honeydew and it was easy to see that this reference completely relied on it's flavor. The "Milk" aspect was also easy to tackle, but in my eyes, could be improved. The cream in the reference, in my opinion, was a bit distracting and would often dull the palate after a while, leaving much to be desired. What I wanted to do was keep the same cream or "milk" aspect of the recipe, but introduce it in a way that wasn't too heavy. Lastly, I wanted to keep it's sweetness and candy like properties, but take out the sucralose because I felt it was unnecessary and redundant. I think I did a pretty good job of recreating what I and many others love about Dewwey Boba, while also improving it a bit with a simple tweak. Anyways, here's the recipe. Give it a mix and let me know your thoughts if you're a fan of the reference.
BRAND | FLAVORING | % ---|---|---- TFA| Honeydew | 3% CAP | Cantaloupe | 3% FA | Whipped Cream | 2% TFA | Circus Cotton Candy | 2% MIX AT | 60vg | 40pg STEEP | MEDIUM | 3-5 Days
Can't wait to try this out, ordered flavors, and I actually have the original bottle sitting here. From the last box of my Craft Vapery subscription months ago. Been saving the last few bottles for a rainy day. If I for some reason get fed up with my own DIY. Will be fun to see how close you got. Much loooove.
And at first you thought there was no sweetener in Dewwy Boba lol that was the only thing I tasted in that stuff. This looks good, though. How's FA Whipped Cream compared to TFA's?
Yeah Dewwey was demolishing my coils. And FA's is much more "full", where TFA's is creamy. I think TFA's Whip should be fine though and that's pretty much what I'm telling people to use if they can't get FA.
Mixed this up like 15 minutes ago as my very first real DIY (not from concentrates)
I was very pleasantly surprised how it turned out, considering I was measuring in drops, because I don't own a scale yet and all that.
It turned out to be 90% VG and I still get quite good flavour in my AIO (yeah I know VG and AIO, I'm waiting for my new setup).
I just wanted to thank you, Wayne, because you really inspired me on starting to DIY!
Much looove ✌
I whipped this up for a buddy who's in love with Sugar Bear (Drizzle) by Cuttwood. I have no intention of cloning it, just wanted to make a sweet & creamy, cinnamon flavored juice. After a week + steep it really starts to come together.
I call it...well, my buddy who loves it named it this:
#Ghetto Bear
- TFA Bavarian Cream - 2%
- TFA Vanilla Swirl - 3%
- TFA Marshmallow - 1.5% (I might up this to 2-2.5% next time)
- CAP Graham Cracker (not clear) - 2% (could probably use clear no problem)
- CAP Sweet Cream - 2%
- CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl - 1.66% (may use 1.5% next version)
- CAP French Vanilla V2 - 2%
- TFA Brown Sugar - .5% (may try .75-1% next version)
I'm going to give this a try tonight. Sounds delicious. I don't have Vanilla Swirl, so I'm going to try VBIC instead. How is this as a shake and vape?
Definitely needs a steep. The creams aren't developed enough, I'd say at least a week. Try it tohough, I shake and vaped a tank, then it just wasn't quite there. Waited a week, and bam. Delicious and so much different than no steep.
Also, let me know how you like it. I made another batch, Version 2, when u go my Meringue in and am trying it out in this recipe, on day 4 steep. Tried it last night, still not there yet.
I made a similar flavor but instead of the cinnamon Danish I used frosted donut TFA. It didn't turn out so well. Is cinnamon Danish that big of a difference maker? Also my percentages were a little bit higher too, nothing crazy, just like 1% or less.
Yes, it's pretty damn delicious. Frosted Donut, though I've never had it, likely is nowhere near the taste of CDS. I highly recommend the above recipe if you like vanilla, cream and cinnamon vapes.
Also, keep the CDS at 1.66%, maybe even 1.75%. I made one with less and it just wasn't as delicious.

- FW Blueberry- 6%
- Cap Vanilla Bean Ice Cream-5%
- TFA Sweet Cream-4%
- FA Lemon Sicily-1.5%
This one is for you /u/ID10-T for when you get INW Grapes.
Grack Juice
Cactus (INW) - 2.25%
Dragonfruit (TFA) - 1.5%
Grapes (INW) - 4%
Koolada - 0.75%
Meringue (FA) - 1%
Raspberry (INW) - 0.5%
Sweet Strawberry (CAP) - 1.5%
Yeah the cactus is high here. I'm outside my damn mind. But I'm not...not really because I looove me some cactus. This juice is a grape cactus--not a cactus grape. The grape is takes the very top notes when paired in this way. I threw in dragonfruit for blending and removing a bit of edge from the cactus. Meringue functions as a sweetener (a bit of sugary taste) and Sweet Strawberry functions as a sweetener as well. I included the raspberry for a bit of lift to the grape. I brought in Koolada at my preferred percentage to cool it all down. As a shake and vape, the contrast between the grape up top and the cactus at the bottom is very apparent and provides a pretty cool effect. I actually laughed aloud after I took the first hit because I was so amused. After a day or so, they blend a bit more but it's still pretty tasty and I'm having a hard time putting it down. Enjoy, y'all!
I just made this and it turned out great. I didn't add koolada; wasn't in the mood.
Was expecting it to be really floral but the other flavors tamed the beast.
Great job!
Alright you Phucker, you've talked me into trying more than 2% Cactus. I'll mix this up as soon as I get Grapes. But if it tastes like I'm licking the grape Fruit of the Loom guy after he soothed his sunburn with aloe, I'm going to yell at you. In German.
Either way, I'm looking forward to it.
Ich liebe dich!!!
A series of circumstances caused it to take me much longer than I had intended to finally get a chance to try this. Now that I have, my taste buds are equally confused and delighted and also, apparently, addicted. They sort of hate it but at the same time I can't stop vaping it, similar to the reaction that I have to extremely hot salsa. I don't like anything that else tastes like this - it's as floral as fucking in the bushes at the botanial gardens - so why is Grack so ...good? Is good even the right word for this? Is it so bad it's good? So good it's bad? Nothing about this makes any sense. I'm vaping a damn Dali painting. I think you are indeed outside your damn mind, but in a good way, like an eccentric genius. Or maybe an evil genius. Is my palate ever going to be the same again, or have you ruined it?
How in the hell did you even come up with this?
Mixed this the other day, best juice I've ever had that smells like soap. To me the cactus never calmed down and stayed just a bit too floral, but it's still good and the profile is balanced. Weirdest thing is that every flavor in this recipe aside from the strawberry has given me some sort of throat irritation at some point, but this? Even with koolada, it's so smooth I can barely believe it.

Whats the steep time on this? Shake and Vape?
I haven't had a lot of time to do full write-ups lately. Been experimenting with max VG (95%+) blends to try and counter-act what I think is a PG sensitivity. Until I get some MF flavors in, I'm playing with FLV flavors since they are very potent and do not require too much additional PG in the form of its carrier.
Here's a couple recipes I've come up with so far. The notes won't be too detailed but they are definitely tasty and adv-worthy. All of them are Max VG, aka no PG added.
Grape Pixie
*FLV Grape 2.5%
*FLV Blueberry 1.5%
Notes:
This one is very tasty, but as with what I am finding from FLV's flavors, it has quite the kick/throat hit. It's not unbearable, and I enjoy it a, but it is definitely there. This tastes exactly like purple pixie sticks to me. The grape is the perfect flavor for it, as it is very much a candy-style grape.
The blueberry comes in because it has always tasted to me like pixie sticks. It adds just a touch of sourness to the grape and really makes this that sour-sugar candy.
Peanut BUTTER
-
FLV Peanut Butter: 1.25%
-
FLV Milk and Honey: 1%
Notes:
Vaping on this right now. It reminds me of Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey. It has that peanut butter topnote with the crunch of the peanut and milky, honey-sweet cream on the end.
The peanut butter is perfect, and I imagine it could be even better with a touch of TFA Peanut butter for just a little extra density and body. CAP graham cracker clear would be perfect here, but as I said I am sticking to FLV. Going to try 0.25% Grape in here, and maybe dropping the milk and honey to .75%.
The one with Guava
-
FLV Guava: 4%
-
TFA Cotton Candy (EM 10%): 1%
I cheated with the EM a little bit to cut back on the harsh top notes this flavor carries. But all of the harsh top notes steep out of this within a few days, but it get super sweet and juicy right around a week.
Botboy always raved about their Guava, and I will too. This stuff really is amazing.
A little update on the Peanut BUTTER:
Very happy with it with the addition of
-
FLV Cream 0.5%
-
FLV Grape 0.25%
-
TFA Peanut Butter 0.5%
I mixed up the Peanut BUTTER and I will say I do like this. I feel it is a little incomplete though; it's a little dry and maybe not quite as sweet as I'd want it to be considering it's peanut butter + milk & honey. I feel like it's a good start to a peanut butter recipe, and may work great as a base.
Seeing your other notes as an addition, I went against some of my general mixing practices and just decided to add in the extra cream & peanut butter (don't have grape in yet!) on top of the already mixed solution. This seems to round out the peanut butter much more, so kudos on the upgrade. Much tastier this time around. I think you're really on to something with the 1% milk & honey + .5% Cream, I'll probably be using this combo in some future mixes.
Once again going against normal practices (already this far in!), I decided to add a bit of my favorite strawberry since I didn't have the grape, INW Shisha Strawberry @ 2%. Sadly, the strawberry overruns the peanut butters a bit, but it's still yummy. Looking forward to trying this out with the grape once it comes in.
Well done!

Going to pull the trigger on some of the flavors here so I can try this. Do you know where I can get HS Ice Cream. The only place I can find is BCV and they are out. They have French Vanilla Ice Cream by HS though. Thanks for the recipe.
Apparently I caused an outrage of HS ice cream. You're not the first to tell me it's out of stock.
Just sub it with HS French vanilla ice cream. It's a really good flavor.
I used FW Cookies and Cream and HS French Vanilla Ice Cream. It's actually really good with the substitutes but I'm still dying to try your actual recipe.
I wanted a tobacco flavor for old times sake, so I made this.
Badass v2 : http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/555606/Badass+v2
0.75% Bourbon (Vanilla Bourbon) (FA)
1% Butterscotch (Flavorah)
0.75% Cured Tobacco (Flavorah)
1% Kentucky Bourbon (TPA)
0.75% Milk and Honey (Flavorah)
0.5% Oak Wood (FA)
6% RY4 Double (TPA)
1.5% Whisky (FA)
RY4D base, with some FLV butterscotch and FA bourbon to support the vanilla and caramel in it. FLV cured tobacco at a low % adds just that tobacco sting I was looking for. The rest is trying to be a fine islay single malt, but to be fair it's nothing of the sort. Instead it's a caramelley sweet cheap blended whisky with some smokiness, but I'll take it. 1 week steep as RY4D mixes tend to want. Try it with IPA or a dark stout.
Orange Cream :
DX Bavarian Cream (TPA) 1.5%
Meringue (FA) 2%
Orange (FA) 2%
Orange Cream (TPA) 6%
Vienna Cream (FA) 2%
If you like Orange you may like this. Smoother not so harsh. A 2 day steep helps but not a bad shake n vape. My first recipe posted so hit me :)
Lime & The Coconut
-
TFA Key Lime 3%
-
FA Lime Tahity (cold pressed) 1.5%
-
FA Coconut 2%
-
TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 4%
-
TFA Koolada 0.5-1% (optional)
Overnight steep
Very refreshing mix with the Koolada IMO, but Koolada is definitely a preference thing.
I am going to make this happen. Lime and coconut is my jam right now.
Is INW Coconut an ok substitute in this recipe? I have every single thing for this but the coconut is the only one that's a different vendor.
INW Coconut is basically Coconut Milk/Water. FA Coconut is shredded coconut.
Should work fine but the texture will be different.
I'll probably end up picking that one up as well since /u/TheCatHimself is on a big coconut kick right now. I made a Tiger's Blood with the INW Coconut and it came out pretty darn good. Will try this recipe with that and then make the proper version when we get the FA, I suppose.
Mixed this up but I had to sub TFA Coconut Extra for FA Coconut (all out) around 0.5% so let's hope it doesn't over power. I need to get deeper into the Coconut flavors, they are my favorite and its a shame all I have is Coconut Extra lol.
Also added some TFA Pear just to see how it plays. I will let you know how it goes.
Is that the cold-pressed or distilled lime?
Cold pressed. Fixed and thanks for pointing that out.
Looks good. I've tried and failed a few times to put the lime in the coconut. Either it's too little lime, lime totally taking over after a short steep, coconut tasting like suntan lotion, or not creamy enough. I'm going to try it your way now, thanks for sharing it.
Cinnamon Crunch:
- 5% FLV Cinnamon Crunch
- 2% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Pretty self explanatary but oh so delicious! This concentrate from Flavorah is spot on, delicious cinnamon sugar cereal with what seems like a hint of buttery goodness. Of course the VBIC adds the rich, dense creaminess and mouthfeel that I was looking for. On the next mix I am going to try 3% VBIC but this is delicious as is. This is fantastic right after mixing but steeping definitely won't hurt.
Let me know what you think!
hey /u/stanknastyy I made a batch up last night Good Stuff! I also made a batch with
5% FLV Cinnamon Crunch
2% CAP Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
1.5% FLV Cream
.5% Cap French Vanilla
1 drop of Rich Cinnamon per 10ml
Let me know what you think if you have those flavors.
Fruitella - Peach and Strawberry
First recipe I am completely satisfied with...based on the sweet/candy Fruitella Duo Stix, which are my favourite fruity chews, there are different flavours this is Strawberry and Peach
FA White Peach/Peach - I tried many peaches and all had harsh throat hits...I may be sensitive to peach flavours, TFA juicy is like breathing fire...these two together are heavenly and quite light on the throat. Peach is the main flavour in the sweets
CAP Sweet Strawberry - Strawberry is barely there in the sweets so I added just a hint, I choose CAP because it was the most candy like to my taste
TFA Coconut Extra - The sweets contain coconut oil and this gives them a creamy taste with just a hint of coconut flavour, so a couple of drops of this is perfect
FA Marshmallow - I added this for mouthfeel and to round off the harshness of the peaches...ripped the idea from Wayne's Misty...cheers Wayne!
Ethyl Maltol - I was aiming to clone a sweet so it needs a bit of sugar...the cotton candy taste of em is spot on
It's good after 24hrs, but does get better after a week...the longest I have left it is 2 months and I have noticed no detrimental changes.
Hope you like it...
FA White Peach 2%
CAP Sweet Strawberry 2%
FA Peach 1%
FA Marshmallow 1%
EM (10%) 0.5%
TFA Coconut Extra 0.25%
I'm not one for long explanations of what I mix. I study the flavors and pair them with bases that works for me. Since this isn't a newbie thread I'll let you all individually interpret these mixes for yourselves. All I know is they taste damn good. I steep all mixes with MF in them for 3 weeks to a month. Also I don't use heat steeping with MF flavors.

Blueberry Batter
-
4.5% FLV Cupcake Batter
-
2% FW Blueberry
-
.5% FA Nonna's Cake
1 week steep time. Adding .5% FA Bilberry gives a deeper blueberry flavor, but the above recipe is a light blueberry, heavy muffin batter-type with a hint of lemon from the Nonna's Cake. The lemon hint almost fades away after longer than a week.
I forgot to mention..most of the credit goes to /u/thirdworldorder for her suggestion of using FW Blueberry with FLV Cupcake Batter.
This profile definitely interests me. However, I don't have FA Nonna's Cake. Is the hint of lemon you get from Nonna's Cake pretty similar to the hints of lemon you'd get from FA Torrone?
I was thinking something like this could be pretty similar:
-
4.5% FLV Cupcake Batter
-
2% FW Blueberry (love this flavor)
-
.5% (maybe even .25%) FA Torrone
Obviously without Nonna's Cake I'd be sacrificing a bit of the baked cakey note, but just a muffin batter vape sounds good as well. Anyway, I'll give my version a go and report back. Thanks!
The original (I think 4% Batter 3% FW Blueberry) was delicious, so probably a lot of variations will still be good. I am curious what torrone will do though.
This one i started about half way through April. I made a second version after /u/ID10-T gave me a few recommendations to make it closer to its real-life counterpart. This v2 has steeped about 2 weeks and is tasting real nice. Here is my problem. I am going to stop developing this any further at all because I don't want to keep using FW Yellow Cake at this high of a percentage for obvious reasons. Until something comes along that provides for me what YC did I don't want to keep wasting time on a recipe that incorporates fructose at this level. Either way I decided I would post the second version simply for the sake of science and maybe to get some advice from others how to take this delicious idea somewhere safer AND more goddamn tasty.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
-
CAP golden pineapple: 6%

TFA Brown Sugar: 1%
70/30 vg/pg @ 3mg/ml nic
My big changes in the second iteration were omitting the FA meringue and adding TFA brown sugar, because, duh brown sugar (can't believe I spaced that in my v1.) Also I decided to up the TFA swedish gummy from 1% to 1.5% from my original mix. At lower percentages this flavor can provide that candied, maraschino cherry touch that is essential for this kind of dessert and after some time I realized i needed it at a touch higher than my first batch.
Let me know if any of you have found some good cake alternatives, I really don't want this to sit on the "maybe in a different reality" shelf.
The brown sugar was me. The awesomely enterprising idea of using Swedish Gummy as a maraschino cherry was all you.
I have an alternative for you that might work. Take out the radioactive yellow cake and increase Sugar Cookie to 6.5%. Increase Joy to 1.25% and add 2.25% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust. You might need to tinker with those %'s bit, but this should be a good start.
But, I plan to keep right on using Yellow Cake at least until Manson re-invents Strawberry Shortcake Bar without it.
SSB is one of the best things I've ever vaped. It gunks coils like nobody's business but it's so worth the extra rewickings. Have you come any closer to finding a sub for Yellow Cake?
A sub for yellow cake in every recipe? No. Manson's said he's going to re-do SSB without it, and I'm sure it will be better than this. But until then, the closest I can get to Manson's SSB without YC is
- 4% TFA Strawberry Ripe
- 1.5% TFA Strawberry
- 3% TFA Bavarian Cream
- 2% TFA Vanilla Swirl
- 4.25% CAP Sugar Cookie
- 2% INW Biscuit
- 2.5% TFA Cheesecake (Graham)
- 0.3% FA Joy
It might get closer with some tweaks like maybe a little less sugar cookie (but 3% is not enough and 5% is too much), a little less graham crust (but 2% is not enough and 3% is too much), and more Joy (but definitely less than 1%). But this is where I gave up and decided gunked coils and cancer were well worth enjoying the original.
just finished up the bottle using the percentages you recommended above. While it was still tasty, it lacked the dense, moist cake vibe that I want. I might take the sugar cookie down a bit when I have another go at it, I think at that percentage it dried things out a bit too much.
Dammit! I've been awaiting an update from you and was so hoping it would come out just right the first go-round. I'm sorry it wasn't what you needed it to be.
But, you can at least taste how you might get there without Yellow Cake with the addition of Cheesecake Graham Crust and increased Sugar Cookie and Joy, and I just overshot the Sugar Cookie %? So it wasn't a total fail?
First off, this has nothing to do with Phillip Rocke, Vapor USA etc, it's just Yet Another Vanilla Custard. The thing is, a silky smooth, creamy and semi-rich custard has always been one of my favorite flavor profiles, so I've been going to some lengths to find the perfect one. I want it to be full flavored and sweet, not necessarily an ADV. Credit to Grant's, Third World Custard, Lars's G vanilla custardy, Ole's custard and a dozen others, all great custards, but I always felt the need to tinker with them, to make them richer, more or less sweet, to add depth or reduce complexity etc, always something. Don't let the version number fool you, this is the outcome of literally dozens and dozens of trials and errors, I've started over from scratch more times I can remember. Over a year in the works, on and off, this is the result.
Creme de la Creme v7 : http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/590016/Creme+de+la+Creme+v7
2% French Vanilla (CAP)
1.5% Marshmallow (FA)
0.75% Marzipan (INAWERA)
2.5% New York Cheesecake (CAP)
6% Vanilla Custard v1 (CAP)
1% Vanillin 10% (TPA)
Flavor total: 13.75%
CAP VCv1 is the base, duh, don't even think about subbing it. Fairly low percentage to give this more shelf life, I like to do a large batch and let it steep long. Borrowing from Ole and TWO, CAP NY cheesecake adds a nice cheesy sweetness and blends in amazingly. Marshmallow to add mouthfeel and more sweetness. CAP french vanilla has been used with VC as a combo since the beginning of times, and IMO for a good reason. It adds more vanilla in the rather eggy VC, but I found adding also a bit of TPA vanillin rounds it out very nicely. But, we're not quite done yet. I wanted more depth and complexity, some interesting side notes. I love marzipan, and inawera's is a wonderful representation of it, leaving a lingering almondy sugary aftertaste. It also gives the juice a lot more character, sort of like adding alcohol to bakery. 0.75% seems to be the sweet spot where it's clearly present but doesn't take too much center stage.
It's possible to also use it as a custard base, but the marzipan will somewhat limit your options. Try it with cherry, pear, orange, apple or almond/hazelnut.
Steep time: Good after 10 days, but I'd recommend 2-3 weeks or more.
I'm not very active on this sub any more but this was one of my favourite yogurt recipes.

This is my spin of the popular strawberry & cake/milk/cream.
A rich and creamy cake base, enriched with cookie and hazelnut bites, hugs the juicy strawberries which are soaked in caramel and cream... Or something like that.
It's actually just one of my first tries to make an ADV that's closest to my needs.

This looks really good. I don't have Strawberry TPA. I'll try a sub with Shisha Strawberry INW. Thanks for the share.
After vaping some more of it, I think it needs some changes, it comes out too creamy for my taste. I think Vienna Cream needs to come down to 1%
Here is a simple recipe inspired by Vape Dudes Blue Honey. Suitable for beginners. I call it Blunny.
BLUNNY
Blueberry Wild (TFA) @ 6%
Blueberry Extra (TFA) @ 6%
Honey (TFA) @ .2% Mistakenly posted as .5% originally.
That's it, sweet and simple.
Some whom have tried it mentioned developing a pie type juice from this but I am not too keen on bakery flavors. However at some point I may try a hint of marshmallow or maybe a cream base addition.
**I originally copied the recipe from my V1 file. A later version had dropped the honey down to .2% of full strength TFA honey. Sorry for the mixup but my notes say V1 Blunny was vapable but with too much of an earthy flavor.
ENJOY
Is that 0.5% of a 10% dilution of TFA Honey, or 0.5% of actual, full-strength TFA Honey?
.5% @ full strength.
I've just been vaping really sweet custardy/ bakery flavors lately, but yesterday someone posted a thread asking about summery flavors. Got me inspired to mix something new. One fruit flavor that I've always liked, and one of the first flavors I've ever had is Blue JuJu from Mr.E. There's a pretty good clone on ELR, but I wanted to change it up a bit. Anyways, here's my first recipe that I feel is good enough to share.
Super generic summer flavor
INW Peach @.75%
INW Raspberry @.5%
INW Lemon Concentrate @.25%
TFA Dragonfruit @5%
Alright, so I love the idea of INW peach. It smells so damn good, just like peach ring candies. It can be a bitch to work with though. Even at such a low percentage, it is the foremost flavor in this mix. The next flavor that I pick up is the lemon. This lemon is also very strong, and very realistic tasting. Very rindy but still sweet and a little tart at the same time. Raspberry and dragonfruit are a little bit muddled. I can't really pick either out individually. I still may tweak the percentages of these flavors, but I think its pretty good as is.
Enjoy!
A buddy of mine asked me to clone Farley's Gnarly Sauce which is a kiwi strawberry bubblegum. Here's my attempt:
TFA Bubblegum 5%
CAP Sweet Strawberry 2%
TFA Kiwi Double 1%
TFA Cotton Candy (Ethyl Maltol) 1%
70/30 3mg
After steeping for 3 days it tastes really good. My friend said it was really close and even less harsh than Farley's Gnarly. I added too much kiwi the first time and 1% seems to be a decent amount. TFA Kiwi Double is pretty intense. I might add a little bit more bubblegum in another batch.

This sounds tasty, just mixed up 10ml - Probably can't be arsed to let it steep but I'll give a verdict on shake n vape :P Thanks!
No problem, thanks for giving it a go... and do let me know how it suits you. It's a decent shake and vape imo, but a good steep will do it wonders.
FYI, this was done as a base initially, but tasted well enough after some tweaking for submission as it's on recipe. And sorry for the lack of description, was in a hurry, and not very good at them any way ;)
It wasn't bad but I did want there to be something else, I was thinking maybe a touch of chocolate, not a really heavy one because I think that would end up colouring the whole mix, I'm not sure which the best choice would be but I'd be hoping for something to sit atop as if it were chocolate chips, I'm still trying to figure out how to get that feeling of separation between the elements, though

Grapeberry Milkshake
-FW Grapeberry Ice @ 6%
-INW Grape @ 2.5%
-FW Blueberry @ 3.5%
-TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream @ 6%
-TFA Koolada @ 1%
Grape-y, slightly creamy, and a cool exhale. Shake and vape is alright but after 3 days it gets creamier.
For all of those that randomly have Grapeberry Ice by FW.
Grapeberry Ice taste more like candy than grape ice cream, kinda like a grape jolly rancher so adding the v.b.i.c. helps bring out the creamy side to it. Grape by INW is more of a true grape flavor with the grape skin flavor being more prominent, but at a lower percentage it helps the grapeberry taste more like a true grape rather than candy.
Blueberry by FW is just something that kinda kicks everything up a notch and works well with grape imo
Koolada is to add that cooler exhale. Anything over 1% and it starts dominating the v.b.i.c.
Overall, i really enjoy it and currently working on a V2 where it can be creamier. I wanted this to taste more like grape soda + ice cream, im close, but still tweaking it!
I've had sooo much trouble with creamy grape mixes but this looks good. I picked up FW Grapeberry Ice recently trying to complete my grape collection. It went straight to my top 5 grapes. I don't enjoy TFA VBIC in large percentages but I bet it helps tame all that INW Grapes.
Normally I get that peppery taste when i go above 5% with v.b.i.c. but for some reason, i dont really get that with this particular mix. I am trying to figure out how to get that signature ice cream flavor with this mix without shifting too hard into a straight vanilla or custard or cream flavor and its been a task.
But my V2 (havent steeped yet) is a little closer to what i am trying to get
The grapes/blueberry is the same but the cream portion is
-TFA VBIC - @4.2%
-TFA Dairy/Milk @ 0.5%
-TFA Sweet Cream @ 0.7%
-TFA French Vanilla Cream @ 1%
-Ethyl Maltol @ 0.5%
As a shake and vape with V2, its closer. Will need to wait a couple of days to let the grape calm down and see how much the "ice cream" comes through. Im thinking of adding 0.5% of Bav cream to see if it helps build up the ice cream flavor a little more. Unfortunately I am out of Vanilla swirl as i think that would help build the correct flavor im looking for.
When I first received CAP harvest berry the first thing that came to mind was that this shit needed to be put into a milkshake. My first batch of this is the recipe that follows. I'm waiting on a batch of TFA VBIC so I decided to throw this into a blend of sweet, milky creams to see how I liked it before adding a denser ice cream note. This first batch turned out delicious after a weeks steep, check it out and yell at me. I am going to try the next version with TFA VBIC as soon as the postman stops sending me trash.

Have you tried FA Forest Fruit? I'm wondering how CAP Harvest Berry compares to it.
I got it in my last order and haven't tried it yet. Smells dank for sure just haven't gotten around to testing It single or blended. What % did you standalone at?
I haven't tried it yet. I have an idea about trying to make a schneeflockentorte that has three layers, an almond-cornflake-white chocolate crust, a cream layer of sugar-heavy cream-sour cream, and rote grütze waldfrucht.
The first step would be figuring out the rote grütze waldfrucht (a mixed dark berry compote/jelly from Germany) and I'm trying to decide whether I should get Forest Fruit, Harvest Berry, or some other mixed berry... or if I'm going to need to order a bunch of different berries and build it from the ground up.
Just in case anybody goes to mix this up I have a finalized version that I'm very happy with. After tinkering with it a bit I decided that the custard wasn't necessary and that TFA VBIC really added the density I wanted, so here ya go. If you have CAP harvest berry in your arsenal id say give this a go, the darker berries are just begging for a milkshake to back them up IMO.

I got my CAP Harvest Berry in last week and now the 15mL of standalone 5% I made is almost gone. You're right, this shit does need to be put into a milkshake. Have you tried a version of this with VBIC added yet?
Not yet, it's on the list for my next mixing session. This real life thing is really annoying sometimes
You're damn right it is. Why won't it all just go away long enough to let me do some mixing every day instead of this once a week if I'm lucky nonsense?!?!
When you do get around to it, please let me know whether you think the version above or the new VBIC one is better. I want to make one or the other.
I often find recipes that I have some of the items for, but not all. I am a happy substituter. Sometimes the percentages don't work, but sometimes they do. I know this is not following the recipe, but I don't like reordering often (or trying to nail down all the ingredients I want from the same vendor-- fuji apple, for example, continues to elude me.)
Original recipe: Custard 4%
Bavarian Cream 2%
Strawberry 5% (I've had success with using two different strawberries so long as it's 5%. Otherwise, CAP's sweet strawberry works fine.)
Graham cracker crust 1.5%
Sweet Cream 2%
.
I was tossing around ideas on how to use peanut butter. And, I bought a few different banana flavors to try. Since this previous recipe has a cream base that I like, I decided to try to substitute fruits for fruit, peanut butter for crust, and keep the cream similar.
Custard V2 Capellas 2%
DX Bavarian Cream TFA 2%
Colorless Banana Lorann's 2%
Banana Capella's 2%
TFA Banana's Foster 1%
Capella's Peanut Butter 1.5%
Capella's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 2%
Coconut CAP 1%
Cotton Candy 1%
a few drops of CAP sweet cream because I was using an emptied bottle of sweet cream and didn't want to rinse it out-- figured it wouldn't hurt.
Several of these items overlap on each other, and I included them because I wanted to play with my new ingredients and not because they are necessary. I find it an almost savory peanut butter inhale, and a ripe banana (almost brown spotted banana but not gross) aftertaste with maybe some creamy coconut mouthfeel.
It's not as sweet as I wanted it to be (which is why I included cotton candy.) When I redo this, I will drop the cotton candy and sweet cream, and increase the precentage equally of one of the other creams.
I will say that this smells addictive. I keep opening my bottle and smelling it, and sometimes dropping a tiny drop on my hand to taste it. I'm looking forward to messing with this recipe and while I want more of a Reese's peanut butter, I don't mind having something a bit more savory that's not overpowering or alienating (to my palate at least.)
After my post a few recipe threads back. I shelved trying for a better custard while I worked on some other flavors. Gave myself a chance to cleanse my palette, and try from the ground up on a new base. I recently got in some FA Custard, and it's strong stuff, and a little goes a long way, but I wasn't sold on completely replacing Capellas. After messing with the ratios a bit based on what I taste tested the FA Custard, this is what happened:
Admiral Custard
Vendor | Flavor | % ------|------|- CAP | French Vanilla v2 | .5 CAP | Vanilla Custard v1 | 3.5 FA | Custard | 2.5 FA | Cream Fresh | 1 FA | Meringue | .5 TFA | Dulce de Leche | .5
Like his little brother, the General Custard, he's imperfect, but he's up and walking, kind of like a zombie who needs a swift kick in the ass. Anyway, while I really liked the sweetness of FA Custard, it didn't have the body that CAP does. Turns out, mixing the two isn't half bad, but it's still missing some creaminess. That's where the Meringue and Cream Fresh come in. They add a bit of a creamy mouthfeel, and detract a bit from the sharp sweetness of FA Custard, though it's not the only fox in the hen-house when it comes to sweetness.
The fattest fox? The one eating all my creamy chickens? The Dulce de Leche...this stuff starts off very sweet, but mellows into a nice, smooth blender between the sweetness, and the creams. It almost helps mellow out the sweetness of the others as it steeps and weakens itself. Very strong stuff though, and can probably be cut back to .25 (I haven't made a large enough batch where .25 wouldn't be annoying to measure out of a 120ml bottle I bought while drunk, though)
And finally, the French Vanilla. This adds the tiny bit of vanilla spice that was needed for the custards. Why v2 when I used v1 Vanilla Custard? Cause that's what I bought, and diacetyl is delicious. Feel free to sub for v2 or v1 where wanted, though. Either way, it'll need to steep for a good 2 weeks before it's calmed its tits enough to be vape material.
edit: If you do swap v1 for v2 wherever, let me know how it turns out. I'm always curious to see what alterations of my recipes end up like in the hands of other people.
Cremé Caramel
Just wanted to make something sweet and creamy and came up with this. Quite enjoyable shake and vape, haven't really got any notes for it except that a cremé caramel is cream, caramel and brown sugar, so that's what I chucked in the bottle
- TFA Bavarian Cream 6%
- FLV Caramel 3%
- FA Caramel 2%
- TFA Brown Sugar 2%
- INW Shisha Vanilla 1.5%
Vulture 3

Third version of this, I like it and can't stop vaping it. Something like a pistachio crunch I suppose.

As you can see I'm on version 8 of this. This one is my favorite, I'm forced to resist vaping it to see how it ages. I have other versions that are more cake like, but I've since toned down the cake base to let the butterscotch come through more. I'll most likely be doing a write up on this one in the future, I think it deserves it's own post.
Vulture 3 looks bitchin'. Can't wait to mix this up. Been wondering what to do next with Pistachio now that P-RY4 has gotten a little too heavy for me in the warmer weather. Thanks for these!
Have you posted this on ELR? Sounds like one I would love to try?
Well done on The Vulture, got this one mixed up and digging it. Tree Blood looks good too but I can't make a 1:1 at this time.
At first vape, I felt like the vanillas might be clashing with the pistachio a bit, but as I continue to vape it the creaminess of the pistachio + the vanillas seem to work out really well, and you get just a touch of texture from the biscuit, enough to keep your palate satisfied. I think the Marshmallow also plays an integral role to the mix since it offers some needed sweetness to the mix as well as some additional body.
If I had to make any changes, I would think maybe subbing the vanilla shisha for bavarian cream or maybe an ice cream or something, since the darkness of the vanillas is cutting down the brightness of the pistachio a bit. Other than that, well done sir!
Thanks for providing some feedback Cheeba, it's appreciated. I currently have a 30ml with shisha vanilla and biscuit at .5% as I felt after a few weeks the pistachio became slightly less potent. I really like the pistachio flavor so I'm trying the new %'s to see if it stays at the front more. Still a pretty good mix as is though.
I'm going to experiment with bavarian cream and others as you suggested. Maybe some TFA VBIC. Anyways thanks again for giving some good feedback.
I am calling this Brad The Vapist's Poached Pear Anglaise (D Series). My son named the "brand" if you will in an attempt to make fun of me, so I went with it hah! Shows him!

Desc: It is a Poached Pear Anglaise with a creamy light custard(anglaise) finish. A nice light quickly poached pear should be up front with different lingering spices.
Label: http://imgur.com/yvCXSE5
EDIT: It will need plenty of steep time but if you must try to speed it up, you can crock pot it for 4-6hrs while shaking once an hour. Then let sit over night. The creams and the nicotine still don't develop and calm down as they should with a longer regular steep but if you cant wait :).
EDIT2: I wanted to clarify that the honey is pronounced, especially right off the bat. After steeping it does cool down a bit but I encourage you to try different values or omitting it if you are adverse to the flavor as a whole. (thanks to ID10-T for the recommendation)
Edit3:. I made another batch without honey in a quick steep to retry the flavor and found it lacking alot of that complex flavor. It might still be there with a lower amount but for my taste buds I can't go without. Also you can lower to 13-14% and do just fine on flavor especially with a higher VG.
Is that 0.5% of actual, full-strength TFA Honey?
Yea, Honey Flavor By Signature (TFA) is the actual name I got from ECigExpress. Does that seem like alot? It seems to work at 0.5%. I have played with the flavor in multiple recipes and everytime it just seems too powerful and takes over all recipes but at 0.5% in this one, it seems to work well. What would you recommend or what do you use it at?
EDIT: I wanted to clarify that the honey is pronounced, especially right off the bat. After steeping it does cool down a bit but I encourage you to try different values or omitting it if you are adverse to the flavor as a whole.
Thank you for the clarification. I think it's fairly common to make a 10% dilution of TFA Honey so I wanted to make sure that if someone mixes this they know to use the 0.5% of the real deal or 5% of their solution.
I wouldn't recommend changing anything in a recipe that 1) you like and 2) I haven't tried yet! For all I know it could be the tastiest thing ever. With this combination of flavors, especially with a number of them being such bold flavors, 0.5% TFA Honey might work perfectly. And poached pear anglaise certainly sounds mouth-watering. I think I'm going to cook that for dessert tonight now instead of the boring old bread pudding I'd planned.
But for me, I can still taste <<shudders>> the time I tried 1% TFA Honey in a mix. Months later, I got brave and thought an otherwise decent juice really needed a little honey flavor, only to have 0.1% TFA Honey completely ruin it. Someday, I'll try again. Probably at 0.09% or less.
Someone more courageous than I am is going to have mix this Poached Pear Anglaise, steep it properly, and report back as whether I need to grow a pair and try it myself or whether your taste buds are busted.
That is a very nice edit. I lied about not having a recommendation for you: I recommend adding that edit to the original recipe post so it's more visible.
I think I'm going to mix this up with 0.1% Honey if I like it, maybe work up slowly toward 0.5%. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This is my first post. This sub has been one of the most useful sources for juicecraft as a newb diy. Ty!! Berry Sweet 'N Tart

Punchy berry notes with a later smack of Sweet and Tart goodness.
Edit: Formatting, sorry!
Edit: Mixed at max VG and to 3mg/mL Nicotine total
First time poster, long time lurker. I've been mixing since September and have gained a ton of knowledge from this sub. Here is my first contribution:
Dragonfruit - TFA - 4%
Pear - TFA - 2%
Cantaloupe - TFA - 2%
Sweet Strawberry - CAP - 2%
This is a simple fruit mix of some of my newer flavors. I enjoy it both fresh and after steeping.
Just started 5 days ago and thought I'd share one of my first recipes. Just been calling Dragon ice.
<Dragon Fruit> (<TFA>) @8%
<Juicy Peach> (<CAP>) @ 6%
<Arctic Winter> (<FA>) @.8%
<Cotton Candy> (<Vendor>) @. 25%
<Koolada>(<FlavourExpress>) @.25%
Comes out to 15.3% total flavor and I use just vg and a 70vg/30 nicotine so it ends up being an 80/30.
I haven't has time to steep it as it came out to be a really good shake and vape. I believe the menthol is just about right but was thinking about throwing mango at .75, in there instead of cotton candy.
Thanks for any help guys :)
After seeing some chatter about Real Flavors I went ahead and ordered a bunch of 15ml bottles from Gremlin. Boy oh boy, I am not disappointed. Every single one I ordered is friggin delicious! And ask by themselves at that. It's not very often I find myself satisfied with a single flavor mix, let alone an entire flavoring line worth! Anywho, I made a recipe. Very simple mix but holy cow it sure is well rounded and spot on to its namesake. I'm tempted to create a new thread so it gets more exposure, but I suck at writing detailed flavor notes and yadda yadda. Without further adieu, I give you German Chocolate Cake
8% RF cookies & cream
8% RF coconut cream pie
Mixed at 80vg/20pg.
It's spot on for a German chocolate cake! I'm not going to go into detail because, cuz well frankly there isn't much detail, it's just 2 flavors that are very complex all by themselves! But they come together and NAIL the profile of a German chocolate cake. I'd love to hear feedback from anyone who makes it!
Have a great night and fuck the FDA!
Apple & Blackberry Crumble with Custard
- MF Red Apple - 4.5%
- MF Blackberry - 3.5%
- CAP Vanilla Custard - 3.5%
- TFA Brown Sugar - 2.5%
- TFA Pie Crust - 2%
The Medicine flower concentrates in this recipe are 10% dilutions in PG so please don't make it at these percentages if you have the uncut product. I haven't actually had time to let this steep yet but I would anticipate that the 'crumble' element would start to come out slightly more in time. The MF flavours are a delight, very bright and 'true' and I would recommend these two to anyone - they play very nicely together in this mix. I couldn't find any 'crumble' recipes but real crumble is similar to pastry but with brown sugar too so I figured pie crust with brown sugar might work reasonably well. I'd really like to hear suggestions on ways to improve that element but as it stands I am happy with this recipe.
I find weird offnotes with pie crust above 1%. You may find that too, and if you do I would suggest dropping to 0.5-1%. I really like it at that amount. It has a strange but very pleasant crust note to it.
Ingredient|% :---|---: (TPA) Marshmallow|1 Bavarian Cream (TPA)|1.5 Berry Crunch (TPA)|2 FA Meringue|1 Fruit Circles (TPA)|4 Pear (FA)|0.5 Sweet Tangerine (CAP)|2 Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA)|3
Flavor total: 15%
I tried Rainbow Nuggets once and did not like it (was buying some other stuff and had a good coupon, so decided I'd try this tit chucking). I figured I'd make something in that profile that I actually liked. Obviously, this isn't terribly innovative, as it basically uses a tonguefuck base.
Pear is used to add some sweetness, but you could replace that with whatever you use to sweeten, though pear probably fits the best here. If you really like Fruit Circles, you may want to increase that. I'll probably take it up to 5% or add in a lemon or orange flavor next time, but this is pretty good for this profile.
Steeped 1-2 weeks
How important is sweet tangerine in this recipe? I have every other ingredient. I'm honestly scared of citrus flavours, that's why I don't have any.
It helps things along, but it's not vital. If you like the fruit circles flavor, I'd take that up to 5%. You could also raise berry crunch to 3%.
I have been playing around with this flavor for about a month or so. This is my 4th version, and closest to the flavor I was aiming for. It started as an all tropical fruit flavor. Then I started experimenting with adding a creamy base to it, and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I am however still trying to bring more of a creamy milkshake type flavor up front, and make the fruits a little less prominent. Right now the fruit is more up front, with a milkyness in the back. Any recommendations would be welcome!
Creamy Tropical Swirl
Pear (TFA) .5%

To me, there are way too many ingredients in this recipe and I can only imagine that it would taste cluttered and I probably wouldn't be able to tell you what flavor you were going for if I tried this. Who knows though, it might be amazing. Have you ever thought of making a cream base that you enjoy with fruits? You could take all the ingredients for your cream base, mix them up in a 30mL then add a certain percentage of your cream base to the fruits. It would probably cut down your mixing time a lot once you had the cream base mixed up.
I totally understand. It does seem like way too many ingredients to me also, but you really can taste the mix of fruit flavors and they don't seem cluttered. Although, you may have hit the nail right on the head. I don't have a go to cream base that I really like. If you remove all the fruits from this recipe, that's my best cream base so far. Any cream base recipes you could point me to that would be worth trying that may help me to develop my own?
If that's the cream base you like best, make your base from that! If the cream base you like best was:
TFA Whipped Cream 1%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 2%
TFA DX Sweet Cream 1%
FA Marshmallow 2%
CAP Vanilla Custard V2 1%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 3%
and you wanted to make a 30mL base, you would just take each percentage of flavor, divide by the total flavor percentage (10% in this case), and then multiply by 100. That would give you these percentages and weights for a 30mL base:
TFA Whipped Cream 10% or 3 grams
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 20% or 6 grams
TFA DX Sweet Cream 10% or 3 grams
FA Marshmallow 20% or 6 grams
CAP Vanilla Custard V2 10% or 3 grams
TFA Vanilla Swirl 30% or 9 grams
Or if you're smart you will just plug it all into your recipe calculator and let it do the math for you!
3rd recipe I made up after I began DIY, by far the most popular with my vape friends:
Grundle Fuzz
Bavarian Cream (TFA) @ 10%
Sweet Cream (TFA) @ 2%
Apricot (TFA) @ 2%
Koolada (TFA) @ 1.5%
Ethyl Maltol (TFA) @ 1%
Super Sweet (CAP) @ .5%
Smooth (TFA) @ .25%
Simply Vanilla (CAP) @ .25%
S&V: Yes
Steep Time: Recommend at least 1 week
That is an alarming amount of Bavarian cream. I'm not saying it's not good, I can't say that because I haven't tried it. But it is alarming.
Yeah, still working on that. One of the last things I purchased at a B&M was this overly sweet vanilla bavarian cream flavor, it was my ADV for a while (pretty much just TFA Bavarian, sweet cream, vanilla swirl, CAP vanilla custard, and super sweet). So when I started mixing (last month) it was the first thing I tried to replicate and have been using various amounts of creams and custards in most of my recipes since then. What % would you recommend for the bavarian cream? I'm still learning the ins and outs with them.
I'd hate to recommend changing something in a juice I haven't tried yet. For all I know, this tastes amazing. I really just wanted to see what you had to say for yourself, using that much Bavarian.
Some people's palates seem unable to take handle more than 5% of it. Some complain that it takes over mixes at 6%. Personally, I use it in a handful of recipes at 7% that I think are great. I let a friend try one of those and he immediately wanted to know much I'd charge him for 120mL of it. But 10% seems like so dang much. Is it super maple syrupy?
Got the idea for this from /u/stanknastyy (Thank you)

Overall Description: A mixture of summer berries and Pink Guava, mixed with Watermelon and spashed with a sweet citrus lime juice.

Shared from alltheflavors.com
https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/4j0jn8/a_great_summer_vape_oiqoipus_and_an_example_of/
Base: Watermelon (Colorless) (LA)/Red Summer (Watermelon) (FA) - Red Summer is a slightly dry, ripe watermelon flavor. It is more like the watermelon "meat" closest to the watermelon's edges IMO. LA Watermelon is a bright, juicy, candy-like watermelon (Its my favorite Watermelon flavor by a long shot). Remember to get the colorless version. These are used in conjunction to create a bright, juicy, semi-realistic watermelon.
Main Note 1: Harvest Berry (CAP)/ Strawberry (INW) - Harvest Berry is a slightly dark (Raspberry, Blackberry heavy) fruit medley. For CAP, it is a strong flavor. INW Strawberry on the other hand is a syrupy sweet strawberry and in many ways similar to TFA Strawberry. It is extremely strong and will make your mix start becoming a syrup over 1%. In this recipe, I'm using Harvest Berry as the main Berry and INW to boost the brightness in the berry a bit without imparting the syrup.
Main Note 2: Pink Guava (FLV) - If you don't have this flavor and love grapefruit/guava, get it. The potency of this flavor is off the charts and can start being a main note in as little as a drop or 2. This flavor has all the bitterness (not in a bad way) and tart notes I was looking for here.
Secondary Note: Lime Tahity Cold Pressed (FA)/ Lemon Sicily (FA) - Lime TCP is a tangy, slightly sour Lime flavor. I love this stuff. If you want it to stand out, I recommend adding 0.25% of FLV or INW Lime to help keep this flavor from fading. Lemon Sicily is one of the most versatile flavors in my arsenal. It can be used with a bakery to add a bit of brightness or in a fruit mix to make a lemonade or even keep fruit notes from muddying too much. In this case though, I'm using it to boost the citrus flavor along with the Lime.
Supporting Cast: Kiwi (FA)/Candy Roll (FLV) - FA Kiwi is a realistic but slightly syrupy kiwi flavor. It will start to overtake many mixes after 1% in my experience. Candy Roll is an odd flavor. It is not good stand-alone but does a great job in some mixes adding sweetness and a bit of juiciness. In this recipe, Kiwi is being used to boost the tropical notes, and Candy Roll the sweetness and juiciness.
sorry to xpost this from the recipe request thread, but this may be a better home for my question and I could really use your help on this.
Hello all. My parents own a B&M that is just getting started with a house line so please don't discount this post as commercial. We are partnering with some local car clubs to have a car show to benefit the (my former) high school that recently had a shooting at their prom. The town is Antigo Wisconsin if you feel the need to look it up and I can send verification if anyone needs to see it. We want to create a special recipe to sell at the show and store and donate all sales to the cause. Wondering if this is the correct place to ask for recipe ideas? It will be a limited run that we will not profit from and we will buy whatever flavors we need if we don't already have them. We want to have some kind of tie in to the school as that is where all proceeds will go. The mascot is a red robin. I was thinking that it would be awesome to find a recipe that tasted like those malted milk balls that you get at Easter that are supposed to be robin eggs. What else do you suggest?
Blue Chocolate. mk1
FW Blueberry (BB) - 5%
FW White Chocolate (WC) - 5%
CAP Sweet Cream (SC) - 3%
After two days I notice that the BB and WC are equally potent. I like where the WC is in the mix, so I'll be upping the BB to ~8% for mk2.
Can't taste much of the SC so far. Might need more steep time to come through, might be lost in the wash with WC, might just need to add more next time.
Flavor is good, but doesn't shine. May add a dash of sucralose or ethyl maltol in the next batch.
I'm fairly new to the DIY thing and I'm loving it so far.
I started looking through recipes and reading notes and trying to pick up what goes into some of the creations you guys have made. I spent some time looking at and making other strawberry bakery and strawberry creams before putting this together.
Tastes good as a shake and vape but really starts to shine after 3-5 days of steeping.

Tiger's Blood
I needed some Tigers Blood. I wanted to get complex. I wanted a broad Strawberry and healthy mix of fresh/candy Watermelon. To me this taste very similar to Mech Sauce's "Slaughtermelon". I added the ice cream flavor to try to mimic the sweetened condensed milk that I usually get drizzled on my tigers blood snow cones.

Since this is a modification of many basic Strawberries and Cream type recipes, I won't post notes. This is just a delicious shake and vape recipe that bounces back and forth between tasting creamy and tasting like a cookie. This juice keeps you on your toes. I made a sample bottle and loved it immediately, as did a friend who immediately picked up 200ml of it.

BlackJack, a summer ADV (shake and vape)
TFA Black Currant 4%
TFA Jackfruit 3%
TFA Pineapple 1%
TFA Dragonfruit 1%
I made a post for this recipe asking for any advice or improvements anyone could come up with. This recipe is a simple fruity ADV that is not extremely complex but is the perfect recipe for me.
Thanks for this! I have all of these but Jackfruit is one of those flavors I keep forgetting I have or forgetting to work into a recipe. This sounds delish and I think it'd be a nice addition to https://www.reddit.com/r/shakeandvape
I just added it to /r/ShakeAndVape. /u/skiddlzninja suggested dropping the pineapple completely and upping the dragonfruit to 2-3%, I am mixing up 2 batches now (one mix with 2% dragon, and one mix with 3%) and will report back on my findings.

I am normally against super sweet use, since it's got funky stuff in it, but I was out of sucralose at the time. Feel free to sub it for sucralose, though it is pretty crucial to get that granulated sugar on top of those tinned butter cookies. One of my new favorites, and pretty rock solid even fresh mixed.
What kind of funky stuff? I just rec'd a bottle and now ya making me paranoid.
I’ve been searching for a solid Mango Sticky Rice recipe but the only decent-looking recipe I could find was by /u/joesphaa and involved a metric shit-ton of flavors. I’m sure it’s delicious, but I’m a lazy fuck and wanted something a little simpler so I present to you:
Miami Rice
- Sweet Mango (CAP) 5%
- Mango (TFA) 2%
- Jackfruit (TFA) 1%
- Coconut Candy (TFA) 2%
- Crunch Cereal (FLV) 3%
- Sweet Coconut (FLV) 0.5%
- Sweetener (TFA) 1%
Flavor total: 14.5% 70/30 VG/PG
Description: Fresh mangos served on a bed of sticky rice steamed with sweetened coconut milk. Happy endings cost extra.
CAP Sweet Mango: This mango is delicious and taste very sweet but slightly over ripe. I actually wanted to us TFA Philippine Mango but I’m also an impatient fuck and didn’t want to wait until my order came in, so I used this instead. I’m glad I didn’t wait.
TFA Mango: Honestly, I think this taste like shit. It taste like you pulled an under ripe mango off the tree, rubbed dirt on it, and ate it like an apple, skin and all. It does help add a more realistic mango flavor though so I used it along with CAP Sweet Mango to help balance the sweetness and create a well-rounded Franken-mango.
TFA Jackfruit: All I can say is YUM. Now I’ve never had a real jackfruit because they’re like the size of an obese child and cost $2/lb at my local Asian market, but to me TFA Jackfruit tastes like pure, sweet tropical bliss. I love using this flavor with all tropical fruits and added a small amount to bring a bright, sweetness to the Franken-mango and to help bury the dirt taste from TFA Mango.
TFA Coconut Candy: I chose coconut candy as the main coconut for my juice because if you smell it, it smells like sweet glorious coconut milk (with a slight suntan lotion smell). Adding this to FLV Crunch Cereal gave me some nice, sweet, coconut milk steamed grainy goodness.
FLV Crunch Cereal: Crunch Cereal is flavor that I don’t use much. I ordered when it first came out and had high hopes to use it to make a delicious cereal vape, until I realized that it tastes like bland grains with a hint of buyer’s remorse. Ironically, that’s exactly what rice tastes like when I have to eat it for every meal after blowing my paycheck on vape gear.
FLV Sweet Coconut: One of Flavorah’s best flavors imo. Just a solid, sweet coconut that has no fake-tan aftertaste. Although this is usually my go-to coconut flavor, I felt that it just wasn’t quite the MVP needed to transform FLV Crunch Cereal into sticky rice. I did add a smidge to help round out the coconut.
TFA Sweetener: I wanted it sweeter. It needed to be sweeter.
Final Notes: This shit needs at least a 4-day to week-long steep. For real… I just received some INW Mango and TFA Philippine Mango so I will be messing around with those in my next few batches (this was my third batch) but this recipe is one of my current ADV when I’m looking for something a little different.
Edit: Damn formatting issues. I tried to put it in a table but it wasn't working.
Sweet Coconut + Crunch Cereal can do a LOT of heavy lifting in a cereal-rice profile, excellent use! 3% is a little high for me, from my experience it gets the job done just fine for me in the 0.50%-1% range. Depending on how fancy you want to be, that is really as far as you need to go for a foundation for white glutinous rice. If you're willing to go a little Gregor Mendel and be a little unfaithful to white rice and just want a bigger rice picture, a couple drops of INW Sesame can add more "grainy punch" to the rice as I believe its one of the few flavors on the market that contain 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline, along with FA Bread Crust. It also contains (E,E)-2,4-Decadienal, which is another key fragrant rice odorant. 2-AP is indicative of strains like jasmine, basmatti, black rice but nonetheless will up the "rice" note even if it isn't 100% faithful.
If you are that oppose to TFA Mango, I'd highly recommenced trying a light note of INW Mango at 0.50%. So definitely get busy once that order comes in!
Consider FLV Coconut as a substitute or supplementation for TFA Coconut Candy in creating the coconut milk, for fun some interesting experimenting options. I don't have any experience with TFA coconut candy so I'm not sure if it would overdue it.
I'm currently reformulating my sticky rice, I'll post an update soon. I took the old one down because I've come full circle with FW Hazelnut in its pretty limited capacity to hit on the rice note. The research that showed Hazelnut contains 2-AP is only very recent (6 years ago) and FW aren't that sophisticated in their authenticity to flavors (not that they are bad) so I have my doubts it actually contains it. My reworked base does include FLV Crunch Cereal, so is interesting to see you using it here as well (I don't know if I included it in the original or not I'd have to check). I also gave up on trying to use mandarin for germacrene D (I don't know if that amount it contains is inconsequential or not, so I just opted to leave it out).
I've had mixed success with varying the percentage trying to use FA Violet for (E,E)-Nona-2,4-dienal, I'm not sure what do here with this lol. Works alright so I might continue to use a light touch of it. Otherwise I may be trying to use a very light hint of FLV Peanut Butter/INW Peanut to hit this aspect. I think violet is more concentrated in it, and adds more earthy flavor so it seems the better choice.
The last white whale for me remains an appropriate source of a sesquiterpene called germacrene D. For germacrene D, I'm not sure how well it would translate to vaping. It has a "cooked flour, woody" note which I think Crunch Cereal + coconut + a hint of sesame already does a pretty convincing job at. Last I've also read that 2 acetyl pyrrole can help "suggest" a rice note, which I've used FA Walnut at 0.20% for in many of my rice formulations, and it also seems to be a decent replacement and fills in a bit for missing the woody note from germacrene D.
I write this up because I'm sympathetic for your efforts. Rice is a pretty dam hard profile to integrate into a flavor. Hopefully you find some of this helpful. Keep up the good work.
WOW! Thanks for the incredibly detailed and insightful response. I read your original post during my research and it was extremely detailed and full of useful information, but was definitely beyond my level of understanding flavors and their chemical makeup. I actually decided to use FLV Crunch Cereal due to the fact that I originally wanted to use a TFA Toasted Almond + Coconut based on some of the suggestions that it would provide a rice-like flavor in past threads. When I went to look for my Toasted Almond flavor, I realized I only had FW Toasted Almond and after giving it a whiff, immediately decided to scrap it for something else. The only alternative that I had at the time was FLV Crunch Cereal and I was surprised that it seemed to work pretty well. I definitely want to try adding a small percentage of Sesame or TFA Toasted Almond in my next batch because I do feel that the rice is missing a touch of something to make it a little more robust or as you accurately put it "fragrant". Thanks for the amazing suggestions and I look forward to seeing what you come up with in your recipe as well.
The issue is white glutinous rice compared to black rice and other cultivars is it just isn't that flavorful. Its very nuanced and light and mostly identified by texture in people in taste tests.
I've use toasted almond to some success. It contains aldehyde c9 which is a rice odorant, but I think coconut already contains enough of it to not warrant muddying the mix with it.
I think you kind of have to make a compromise. If you want to taste more rice flavor or to have it pop out, the only way is to really introduce compounds responsible for the aroma and flavor in the more fragrant cultivars. It takes a way a bit from the authenticity of just "white rice" but in the end you actually get the satisfaction of tasting rice at all, lol.
Black and blue
First recipe I feel worth posting- smooth and sweet creamy base with a touch of blueberry. Should be ok use after a week of steeping. My ADV for the last month.
TFA Blueberry extra 4%
TFA Blackberry 1%
FW Dragon Fruit 1%
CAP Marshmallow 2%
TFA Dulce de leche 2%
TFA French Vanilla 1%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 2%
CAP Vanilla Custard v2 4%
GALTHOR'S GORE:
Glycerin(VG) 80.0%
Glycol(PG) 5.0%
TFA Strawberry (Ripe) 5%
TFA Apple 4%
CAP Juicy Peach 3%
FA Orange 2%
CAP Golden Pinapple 1%
I had some random fruit flavors lying around so i decided to mix them. Might add some cream to the mix later but not sure yet, i already really like it. Enjoy!
I have struggled with an ADV strawberry mix since day 1 of DIY and this one is showing serious potential. The lemon note from Pandoro plays well with strawberry. Overall this mix is really rich for me thanks to the Pandoro and LA CCI but there's enough bite from the lemon and HS Strawberry to keep me coming back for more.
MF Strawberry @ 1.5%
FA Pandoro @ 1.25%
LA Cream Cheese Icing @ 0.5%
FA Meringue @ 0.5%
Mixed at 70VG vaped at 110W on 6 wrap 3.5mm parallel claptons in a BFT. The next version will get something crusty or crunchy but I can't decide what to try first. It'll probably be FA Apple Pie @ 0.75% - 1%. I'll also probably end up adding some CAP Sweet Strawberry because I can't help myself.
Have you ever used TFA Strawberry (Ripe)? It's fuggin delish.
It might have been on my first order in 2014. I like it a lot but in more complex mixes it lacks the punch to cut through. If you go too high with it I think it starts to mute itself (because of the maltol maybe). It's a great flavor and I think it should be mandatory for DIY but I've had better luck with other Strawberries in this kind of mix.
How do I describe this? First of all, a 5 Star Peach top note with layers of Fluffy Cream and Blueberry-Boysenberry backnote and lastly, a fresh Mango that sit on your tongue like chewing gum. This flavor lasts 5 minutes after you vape it... just fucking DELICIOUS! It's like vaping a fruity marshmallow.
Steep 3-4 weeks. Use no heat.

A little bit about me. I've been trying to wiggle my way in here for about a year. I'm from the school of ELR and I go by @Pro_Vapes over there, mentored by Ken_O_Where. I was never able to master TPA, CAP or FW flavors... I can't taste most of them. But when I dropped those for the Super Concentrates... FLV, INW, FA and now MF... I found my niche. Now I'm bangin' out some great recipes, but most users don't have a lot of the flavors I use. If you have these flavors, give it a try... you won't be disappointed. This recipe is great.
These are indeed number of flavors I don't have. Honestly, I'm probably not going rush to buy them just to mix this up, but thank you for sharing it.
A favor, please? Can you describe that Yellow Mango to me? A delicious, truly accurate mango flavor is my white whale.
This is the 4th Mango I've purchased. I have FE, TPA and FA Mango. This EuroFlavor is by far the best I've tasted. It's a little sweet with the taste of a fresh ripe mango. My initial test I mixed it at 8%. It was good but a little perfumey at that percentage. I retested at 6% and it was spot on IMO. I recently got MF Mango that's steeping now. I'll compare the 2 once it's ready.
Thank you! A comparison would be over-the-top helpful. Either this EuroFlavor (which I've never heard of) or MF likely will be my next purchase. I have HS Mango on the way this week. I already have SC, INW, FA, CAP Sweet, TFA, and TFA Philippine mangoes. They all fall somewhere on the "not quite right" to "very, very wrong" spectrum. Well, except SC. SC was awesome... for the first 48 or so hours after i mixed it. After that, its wonderful complexity just sort of flattened out. I'd blame olfactory fatigue but I'm not the only one who has experienced this; I think it must have something to do with super-volatile volatiles and alcohol. Currently working on a mixture that I hope to make taste like shake-and-vape SC but without the disappearing act, and it's almost there... but it sure would be nice to get everything I want in a mango flavor in one concentrate.

I had to kind of reverse engineer the recipe from MLs to %s as I write my own recipes in MLs out of laziness, so if anyone wants, I can also post how to mix a 30ml bottle of it too, just to be sure I'm not screwing the whole conversion up...
While it's vape-worthy after even a few days of steeping, I'd advise that you steep it for at least a week for perfect flavor blending.
So... After testing with a lot of Unicorn Milk clones and other Strawberry + Cream recipes (attempting to clone Unicorn Milk), I eventually took a break and went off in my own direction a bit, and I eventually came up with this mix. Ironically, it's closer to Unicorn Milk/Mother's Milk than any of my other clone recipes or others recipes that I've personally tested, even though I wasn't intentionally trying to make a clone lol. I will say however, that because it actually tastes really similar, I would've posted this in the clone thread if I could find an active one, but since I couldn't, I figure the monthly thread is good enough (plus as it's not intended as a clone, but is super similar, I'm not sure what that really makes it lol). So it's really similar to UM or MM, but there is a slight tangible difference. It's overall a more custard-like mix than either UM/MM imo, but I actually kind of like it that way.
I figured I'd post it for the hell of it, plus in case anyone is looking for something close to Unicorn Milk or Mother's Milk. It wasn't intended to be a clone, but it's so much closer imo than any of the other recipes I've found, I figured that was worth something... So if someone is really wanting that specific flavor, I'm sure you could tinker with it a bit and get it even closer to UM/MM that I care to try to... If anyone wants a hint on how I think they can get it closer: I think your best bet is to cut the Vanilla Custard down a bit and increase the lower % creams a tad and maybe even add a bit more meringue (though I'm a bit unsure on the meringue.)
Either way, I hope someone out there likes this recipe as much as I do, modified or not!
That's 2% Sweet Strawberry or 2ml Sweet Strawberry?
FRUIT PUNCH:
• TPA Pineapple 5%
• CAP Juicy Orange 4.3%
• CAP Passion Fruit 3.6%
• FA Papaya 2.6%
• FA Guava 2.3%
• TPA Apricot 2%
This was inspired by MBV's Bloodbath and based on Hawaiian Punch Fruit Juicy Red. There is also supposed to be an apple flavor as the first ingredient but I didn't have it and it's still delicious.
that seems like too much pineapple, really only need 1% max to make it a dominate flavor in your recipe. If i had the rest of these i'd give it a shot, would love a good fruit punch juice. May pick them up and drop some of the %s here. Thanks for posting!
Fair enough, I understand the subjective aspect of it. For me it's just a flavor I fell in love with, never felt that it was too much or overwhelming at all. I have a recipe I'm working on now that has CAP & TFA Bavarian, CAP & TFA Vanilla custard, and a couple of other things to it and even then it's sweet, but not overwhelming. Steeping took that one from super eggy in the first week to this buttery rich vanilla caramel cream flavor. Never gotten any maple from using Bavarian cream though. Back to this recipe though, it tastes like an apricot Creme Savers candy, even that much Bavarian cream doesn't overwhelm the fruit in the recipe.
What?
#FAIR ENOUGH, I UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECTIVE ASPECT OF IT. FOR ME IT'S JUST A FLAVOR I FELL IN LOVE WITH, NEVER FELT THAT IT WAS TOO MUCH OR OVERWHELMING AT ALL. I HAVE A RECIPE I'M WORKING ON NOW THAT HAS CAP & TFA BAVARIAN, CAP & TFA VANILLA CUSTARD, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS TO IT AND EVEN THEN IT'S SWEET, BUT NOT OVERWHELMING. STEEPING TOOK THAT ONE FROM SUPER EGGY IN THE FIRST WEEK TO THIS BUTTERY RICH VANILLA CARAMEL CREAM FLAVOR. NEVER GOTTEN ANY MAPLE FROM USING BAVARIAN CREAM THOUGH. BACK TO THIS RECIPE THOUGH, IT TASTES LIKE AN APRICOT CREME SAVERS CANDY, EVEN THAT MUCH BAVARIAN CREAM DOESN'T OVERWHELM THE FRUIT IN THE RECIPE.

Miso Juicy Clone If you've been lucky enough to try this flavor, you know how refreshing it is. It's like swimming in a Sprite pool in the dead of summer.
Capella's Lemon Lime @ 10% TFA Fruit Circles @ 2.5% TFA Sour @ 2% INAWERA White Grapefruit @ 1% Koolada to preference.
