Has anyone tried mixing flavours with water or club soda to make a tasty drink?

I am really curious as this could even be used to make test batches to give you an idea of a potential juice.

I don't think it will give you a very good sampling of what your vape would taste like, but it's sure good in everything!

Wicked! I had no idea there were that many possibilities. Looks like I have some more research to do. Thank you :D

Awesome, have you tried with just water or club soda? Something with no sugar added

Milkstone 2.0 is amazing in cold brew coffee.

Pour yourself a nice glass of cold brew, add a splash of cream, a spoonful of raw sugar simple syrup, and then put like 4 or 5 drops of Milkstone 2.0 in there. Man...so good.

Saved. What is your setup for cold extraction ?

by DustForVomitover 9 years agoMixologist

Nothing really fancy. I just use my old Toddy and filtered water. It's really about the quality of the coffee.

i just mix about 1 1/2 cups of grinds per liter of water into an iced tea pitcher and let it sit for 12-24 hours. filter when finished. cheapest set up you can get for coffee brewing and has amazing results

A good toddy setup is a rare find. Used to have a chain of coffee houses here that made an amazing toddy but they are mostly gone. Added to my wish list.

I have a friend who just had weight loss surgery and had to drink these unappetizing protein shakes for the first week or two while she recovered, and she ordered a bunch of flavors to add in them and make them more palatable. She's donating all the leftovers to our stash once she's done with them :D

The sky is the limit! We have lots of customers who come through the website just to pick up their Capella for drinking water.

Yea I do this all the time with alcohol. The flavors aren't exactly the same so I wouldn't make vaping recipes based solely on it. CAP French vanilla 2 drops per 12oz of coke is a perfect vanilla coke clone. Try Jim beam with fa almond and cap French vanilla. Coffee works well also. Try flv chocolate dutch with coffee.

Vanilla Whipped flavored vodka is an awesome base for flavoring. It has the sweetness that the flavoring needs to taste fantastic.

I've seen a DIY Youtuber suggest mixing concentrates with water in order to experiment with flavour concentrates without wasting raw materials. Of course I can't find it now, but mixing drops of concentrate to find out what goes well together and at what ratios is helpful.

A few drops of FA bergamot, a shot of vodka, a squeeze of lime juice, a splash of soda, and a slice of fresh jalapeno makes a delicious cocktail.

Got a SodaStream last week, it basically just carbonates water. Comes with concentrates, but found some people on forums saying they used capella to mix their own. Havent tried it myself yet. Would like to blend a monster energy drink flavor, but suspect it would cost more in flavorings than just buying monster.

by Crazii-Pover 9 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

I was looking at that machine too but was turned off by the fact of the cartridges. From what I'm seeing people only use a few drops like 1-2 per 300ml so it will for sure be cheaper than buying a monster drink and at least you can use the flavours for both vape and drinking.

by Blu64over 9 years ago

you don't have to use a soda stream to make your own soda! I found a 5lb canister of CO2 on craigslist. It came with a regulator. Then I purchased one of these. It screws onto an empty 2 liter bottle. Squeeze all the air out of the 2 liter, put on the cap, turn on the regulator, shake vigorously, an you have soda water. Costs me about 10 cents a bottle.

Sweet, I might need to start doing this instead of buy club soda all the damn time!

Yeah just experimented a little with some flavorings I'd had standing around for ages. The concentrates are more potent than I'd imagined. But it did remind me why I didn't vape those flavors..not a fan of the taste. Most of the rest of my collection is bakery oriented so not ideal either. Now to figure out a monster(ish) recipe for my next shop..

Edit: the cartridges aren't too bad really, during my experimenting I finished one for the first time, after just over a week of pretty heavy usage. About 40 or 50 liters at a guess. Think it's £10 per refill, makes it 0.20 - 0.25p per liter, plus flavorings. Not particularly cheap compared to supermarket brand fizz, but it is fun, and yeah looks like you can make your own flavours with some practice.

Neat, well for your more bakery flavours you can probably try them out in your coffee if that is what you drink. let me know how it goes for you.

if i can dig up the post, its somewhere around here, where one of the more popular DIY'ers here put up a recipe where the title was something along the lines of "burnt out making juice, here's something different" where they were sharing a recipe for their sodastream.

Im really thinking about buying one, but i fear i would have to up my flavor purchasing then because i would go nuts with that thing.

Check out wizard labs. I forget the brand but one of em does a monster flavor, and a rock star one. I'm like ninety percent positive I remember seeing it on wizard labs. I think the monster one is called green energy.

wizard labs is the only place i order from. i heard the energy drink flavors weren't too appealing. i've had redbull juice before that had caffeine in it, that was a neat trick.

I made a smoothie with raspberries, blackberries and apples. Found it was a little too sour for my taste so I dropped 5 drops of TFA Smooth into the 500ml smoothie. Tasted didn't taste as intense so I guess it worked.

I also use them to make hard candies so as drink flavouring it should work. Gonna try it when I get home!

How do you turn them into hard candies?

I melt sugar until hard crack fase. (about 152 celcius) Throw some glucose in and then add a couple drops of flavouring.

Don't you have to wait for it to cool down a bit first? I tried to make some soda syrup one time, and I ended up burning the flavoring right out.

I used flavors to mellow out some awful home-aged "whiskey". It helped.

Only partially relevant, but I always found it interesting that Ahlusion offers drinkable versions of some of their juice flavors in their B&M.

That's kind of cool. I know that Bombies was making Nana Cream hard candies for a while. I always thought that was pretty awesome.

I drink a lot of whiskey (hence the username) and on occasion I will add one of my Vanilla flavorings to it, maybe 3-10 drops. Otherwise its neat, on the rocks, or maybe a splash of water over 80 proof to keep my tongue from going numb and dulling the flavor.

I keep some old fashioned club soda around, though I've stopped drinking soda ages ago. I don't test new flavors in it often, but I do buy TFA Key Lime in bulk for Club Soda.

I haven't tried it personally but apparently TFA Champagne is used to impart a carbonated type of sensation in flavors.

I add 5-7 drops of CAP Sweet Mango to 1l of Coca Cola and almost every fruit flavour I have to water.

Haven't used them in drinks but I use mine constantly in homemade quest style protein bars. Vita Fiber, unflavored protein, and whatever flavorings I feel like for the day. Feels similar to making ejuice all the trial/error and flavor notes on that.

Edited: just added 6 drops of hangsen pineapple to my water with a little bit of splenda and it turned out pretty good.

I have some menthol flavoring that I honestly don't like in any of my mixes that works excellently in place of mint in a mojito. I also love a couple drops of caps chocolate glazed doughnut in a glass of water

Take 2 shots of new amsterdam gin in a tall glass. Fill the rest with the Clearwater orange mandarin sparkling water you get at Walmart. Add 2 drops FA Mandarin, 4 drops TFA VBIC. Your welcome. All you taste is a delicious creamsickle with no alcohol taste and 2 of them will make you walk funny

You can also mix it with milk to make some interesting flavours, but you need to sweeten it a bit to get that proper flavoured milk/milkshake taste. A few drops per glass of milk is all it takes

I have experimented with some small batch tonic syrups along with club soda to make some gin and tonics as drinks. A ton less sugar than grocery store bought tonics, and different flavors, you'd be surprised. May be the kind of flavor you're looking for.

Cool, what kind of flavours did you play with?

by henrywinklersayehhhover 9 years ago

I started with this: Ruby D Tonic Concentrate - Original (16 Ounce) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XDBO78E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-QHmxbJFXCAD3

And also Tomr's Tonic syrup http://www.amazon.com/Tomrs-Handcrafted-Tonic-Syrup-Concentrate/dp/B005ELN7JQ

They both have great flavors that I can't quite put a finger on. Different than any ready made tonics that you would buy.

Not exactly, but I've been experimenting with flavoring Soylent. I have been subscribed for like 6 months now and have gotten tired of plain ass bland Soylent. It's really easy to overdo it in my experience. But it totally works!

While not a drink my daughter wanted starters cream cheese frosting for her birthday cake so I added tfa Strawberry ripe to it and it was delicious. I think I added like 5ml for the pint of frosting made and it was just right.

I was sick last week so I took my menthol extract from TPA and poured it into a cup of water. I was maybe 5ml worth. I brought it to a boil and was going to inhale the menthol to clear my sinuses and bought. It stung my eyes so bad and the inhale was so strong it bout made me hurl. But.... It did sorta work. I did feel better. :) I would recommend

Not exactly. I was drinking and in a pinch needed something soda-like... So I added some flavoring and a little sweetener to Tonic water. It was disgusting... I've tried adding certain flavors to coffee as well with no success... But that could just be me or those particular combinations.
