Happy Mixing!
This is my first recipe I've shared on here, so please let me know what you think. This has been my summer ADV this year. It's delicious as a shake and vape, very wet, slightly minty, and very refreshing. It's very much strawberry dominant, with an apple and mint exhale.
Juicy J's Strapple Mint
Vendor | Flavor | Amount ---|---|---- FA | Fuji | 2% LA | Watermelon | 2% INW | Shisha Strawberry | 3% TFA | Dragonfruit | 1% INW | Cactus | 2% TFA | Menthol | .25%
Flavor total: 10.25%
Tasting notes:
Shisha Strawberry : This is the main flavor you taste throughout. I've found this to be the perfect strawberry for this recipe. It's very jammy, sweet, and wet.
FA Fuji : At this percentage it's a great backdrop to the Shisha strawberry. I taste it mostly on the exhale, but it provides a deeper tart fruit layer to the whole mix.
LA Watermelon : I switch between this and CAP Sweet Watermelon. I'm not sure yet which is my favorite. They both really just add to the sweetness of the juice. I don't taste much melon throughout the vape, but if you take it out you can tell it's missing.
TFA Dragonfruit : This at 1% just makes all the fruits more vibrant and delicious. I don't get a dragonfruit flavor, but I get a much stronger strawberry / apple flavor throughout.
INW Cactus : This flavor is the shit. It adds the perfect amount of wetness on both inhale and exhale. It gives the mix more body, and makes it super refreshing.
TFA Menthol : Beware, this menthol is strong as hell. At this percentage I think it's around 3 drops per 30ml. If you go higher you risk just being a nose dripping mess. At this percentage I get the menthol coolness, but it doesn't take away from any of the fruits.
Edit 7/31/2016: I just want to give a thanks to everyone who took the time to mix this up and gave me some awesome feedback. The positive response was unexpected and overwhelming, and has really encouraged me to continue trying new things and sharing new recipes in the future. Thank you so much!
I have made two bottles of this:
Bottle one: made a 60ml the morning of leaving for a 4 day camping trip. Dropped 15 minutes later and shattered it.
The morning I get back, make another 30ml. Realize I forgot to put nic in, slipped out of my hands...shattered.
Making bottle 3 now. Has been great both times I've tried this recipe, so I'm looking forward to a plastic 60ml. Thanks for posting.
Dang.....just made this! My only complaint would be I just made 50ML. This is an awesome recipe and thank you for sharing
This looks great. My LA watermelon is coming in soon and I shall be mixing this when it does.
> INW Cactus: This flavor is the shit.
Amen.
Awesome! Let me know what you think. Feel free to swap CAP sweet watermelon at 2-3% if you have it. I used that for the previous versions, and it was still really good.
Looks awesome. I just ordered the flavors I'm missing so I'll give it a shot when I get them. I may try switching the Menthol with Cap cool mint, I'm a big fan of the slight sweet mint it gives.
Thanks for giving it a shot! I'm interested to hear what you think about it. I haven't tried CAP cool mint (it was sold out when I placed my last order, but it's on my wishlist), but i know u/vurve uses it in his watermelon crack and summer melons flavors, so I'm sure it will be good. I like the little bit of mint this level of menthol gives, without being overpowering, so if you can find that balance I'm sure you will enjoy it.
How is this without menthol? I'm not much into mints, but I really like fruit vapes and this seems delicious.
Well, I originally mixed it up as a straight fruit vape without menthol and I liked it. It was very juicy and satisfying. Then as it got hotter around here ( San Diego) I played with koolada and menthol to make it a bit more refreshing and light on the palate. I don't think at this level of menthol in it you really get a strong mint hit, but you do notice a coolness on the exhale that I preferred. But I'd say mix up a small batch without it and see what you think! The nice part about menthol or koolada is you can always add a tiny bit after you mix it and increase to taste.
Cactus is delicious and goes SO well with any watermelon!! Well done, I'm mixing this up for sure
What % do you use CAP Sweet Watermelon at? I dont have LA but i do havw CAP
Hey, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been moving. I used CAP at 3%, and it was very similar to LA at 2%. Maybe a bit more on the sweet side. Either way it's very hard for me to taste the watermelon, and really just bolsters the sweetness and body of the strawberry and apple. Let me know how it goes!
This is a really good SnV. I used Koolada at 2 drops pre 5ml (.8%) because I do not have any menthol. Now I have to add it to my growing wish list of flavors to get ;-)
I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to mix it up, and thank you for the feedback. I tried it with just koolada for a batch instead of menthol and thought it provided some of that refreshing aspect from the cooling combined with the wetness from the cactus, but just preferred the sharper coolness on the exhale from the TFA menthol. If you mix it up again with menthol and think about it, let me know which you preferred.
So I have FA Watermelon and FW Watermelon, any suggestions on using those as a substitute by chance?
I don't have either of those, but I would say whichever is sweeter would work fine. The melon doesn't really come through, it just adds to the overall sweetness of the strawberry/Apple. The reason I like LA over CAP sweet watermelon is just because it has more of a candy flavor.
I'm from a hot and humid country so this sounds incredible refreshing!
Thanks for sharing.
The vendor here sells only LA Colorless Watermelon, are they the same? If no, what % do you recommend I use it at?
I haven't made my own Ejuice for almost a year. Your recipe struck me as my next ADV possibly. Ordered up all the flavors and I look forward to trying it tomorrow. I got next day shipping cause I'm so excited lol
Do you think CAP Menthol would be similar enough to the TFA one? I'll be trying regardless because this looks great, just wondering if you had any experience with it yet. Also have Koolada if you have a recommended amount that could sub for it.
Honestly, CAP menthol is pretty weak to me. I tried it up to 3% in this and it wasn't proving they coolness I wanted. You could try it at 1% and .5% of koolada and then adjust it from there. Let me know if you find a combo that works for you!
Edit: you could also just try koolada at .25 or .5 and it might give you that cool exhale. Combined with the wetness from the cactus it could work well. Trying playing with it and start low.. It's always easy to add more.
Excellent juice! I subbed the menthol with INW Mint Mix, which still cools it nicely and gives it a tasty herbal touch. Really, really love it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Has anyone tried replacing INW Strawberry Shisha with INW Mango Shisha?
I understand the straw shisha is the main flavor here - however my vendor was out of it so I picked up some Mango Shisha instead. Curious how this will come out...I will likely have to play with the % a bit.
This looks fantastic. Will be mixing this up when my LA Watermelon comes in this week. Any notes on the best steep time for it?
Its honestly usually a shake and vape for me while I'm mixing other stuff. Sometimes if I'm trying something else out I'll leave it overnight before throwing it in my tank, and that can help blend all the fruits a bit. But it's one of the few recipes I have tried that really doesn't need time after mixing to soften any harsh edges.
Thanks for mixing it up, and let me know what you think once you try it!
missing many of the ingredients here, but this does sound like a perfect summer vape, and where i live it is pretty much summer all year round if it isn't raining. Definitely going to give this a try when my next order comes in i will include those new-to me- flavours. Never tried INW cactus, but everyone seems to rave that it ups the overall quality of many of their juices. Gonna take the plunge now.Also while typing this and looking up the flavours i found a 60% off sale ongoing at RTS vapes just now. Gonna stock up real fast.
Nice, well thanks for taking the plunge! I'm obviously in the camp of people that loves INW cactus, but I know a lot of people get a soap off taste, or are just sensitive to what they describe as an aloe flavor. I personally don't get that at all, so hopefully you'll love it and it will be useful in your arsenal. I definitely don't think you can go wrong with the other flavors in this.. Shisha Strawberry, Fuji, and Dragonfruit are all very versatile flavors, so I don't think you'll regret it. Let me know how it goes, and cheers!
just wanted to let you that this was one of my first recipes that i made when i started diy'ing a few weeks ago. it's awesome. unfortunately i only had tfa strawberry ripe but even with that i vaped the hell out of it. expecting some shisha strawberry to land in my mailbox in the next couple of days and can't wait to see how it turns out as intended.
thanks for this awesome ADV
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
Thanks so much for letting me know! I'm really glad you got some mileage out of it. Especially when you were just starting out! Hopefully it encouraged you to keep diying. So thank you for taking the time and money to try out this recipe, it means a lot.
Also, tweak the shit out of this recipe. It really is very flexible. Especially when you sub for LA watermelon.. I've found all kinds of flavors that work in that slot. If you end up finding something you love, let me know so I can give it a shot!
Ingredient|% :---|---: Caramel (FA)|1 Creamy Yogurt (CAP)|3 Grapefruit (INAWERA)|0.5 Marshmallow (FA)|2 Raspberry (Sweet) (TPA)|2
Flavor total: 8.5%
__
Sweet and tart raspberry hard candy with fresh grapefruit and hints of liquorice/salmiac candy powder (I know, right?)
It's freaking aawweessoommeeee I tell ya.
CAP Creamy Yogurt / FA Marshmallow - just wanted some candy sweetness and creaminess without any custard/vanilla notes. Success.
INW Grapefruit - Very potent and authentic white grapefruit. Any more than 0.5% and it gets too realistically pithy and bitter, here it's sweet and fresh.
TPA Raspberry (Sweet) - Gives flavour-popping tartness and of course, sweet candy raspberry
FA Caramel - As a sweetener
Shake and vape. That's it.
INW Grapefruit is delicious. It is nice to see it getting some love.
It's very authentic, surprisingly complex and as a citrus mixes great with many things. What's not to love?
INW white grapefruit right? This sounds delicious!
Nope, just grapefruit.
I feel kinda shitty about having the top-voted recipe last month for a stupid piña colada, especially after trying INW Pinacolda and finding that they already made a flavor similar enough to my 8-ingredient mix (even though I do think mine is a little better). Because I know for a fact there was one recipe much more deserving. And I'd bet the whole farm that there were at the very least two additional ones that were way better than mine, but I haven’t been able to make them yet for want of an ingredient or two.
Anyway, this delicious bastard right here. What is that, you say? Why, that is a key lime bar with coconut-almond graham crust and whipped cream cheese frosting. The crust is made of graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter, crushed almonds, sweetened coconut flakes, and an egg. The filling is butter, heavy cream, Bird's Vanilla Custard Powder, sugar, and key lime juice and zest. The topping is whipped cream cheese frosting, which is heavy cream, cream cheese, sugar, and dash of vanilla that’s had the crap beaten out of it by a Kitchen Aide stand mixer.
Because "Key Lime Bar with Coconut-Almond Graham Crust and Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting" is so unwieldy, I decided to name it in honor one of the only four times in movie history when the sequel was as funny as the original.
Mfg | Flava | % ---|---|---- TFA | Graham Cracker (Clear) | 3 CAP | Vanilla Custard V1 | 2.25 FA | Lime Cold-Pressed | 1.75 FA | Lime Distilled | 0.75 FA | Lemon Sicily | 0.75 FA | Coconut | 1.5 FA | Almond | 1.5 TFA | Coconut Candy | 0.75 FA | Marzipan | 0.75 FA | Cream Fresh| 1.5 LA | Cream Cheese Icing | 1.5 FA | Meringue | 0.75 CAP | Cake Batter | 0.5
Bulbousy nipples, that’s a christload of concentrates!!! Forgot how to K.I.S.S., you idiot?!
Yes, it’s about four more flavors than I’ve ever put together without following a well-reviewed recipe and without the result being spot-on mud. Don’t knock it until you try it, I guess? Or do knock it, I don't care. But, here’s an earlier, simpler version. It tastes good but it’s like a girl without any makeup compared to 13-flavor version. It might make a nice framework on which to build your own coconut-almond key lime bar:
Home Alone II Short-Form
Mfg | Flava | % ---|---|---- TFA | Graham Cracker (Clear) | 4 CAP | Vanilla Custard V1 | 3 FA | Lime Cold-Pressed | 2 FA | Lemon Sicily | 1 FA | Coconut | 2 FA | Almond | 2 LA | Cream Cheese Icing | 2
Experience the final version or try out the short-form with an Italian Margarita (just add Amaretto diSaronno to your favorite ‘rita recipe), and I swear it tastes better while listening to something absurd like Quint.
Steep time: 2 weeks, minimum. Citrus and bakery flavors need time to get used to each other.
Some Notes:
Graham Cracker Clear - An obvious choice for the crust, a real graham cracker flavor. Thought about using CAP’s Graham Cracker but it seems to have a hint of cinnamon to it that would be unwelcome here.
FA Coconut/FA Almond - Natural coconut flavor that mimics the coconut flakes in the crust, authentic almond flavor that's neither too sweet nor too bitter and gives the crust some extra crunch.
FA Marzipan & TFA Coconut Candy – I’m just loving these two together. They seem to sort of bridge the gap between the disparate flavors of coconut and almond. They add sugaryness and butteryness to a crust that was lacking without them as well as more almond and coconut flavor.
CAP Vanilla Custard – Tastes just like the combination Bird's Vanilla Custard Powder, butter, and heavy cream in the filling. I never even considered trying something else as the creamy base for this. Hell, while I was chewing the actual dessert, I started thinking about CAP VC V1.
FA Lime Cold-Pressed/Distilled, Lemon Sicily - Cold pressed really gets that deep lime juice flavor down into the custard. It seems like a lot of CP Lime but its needed with these other bold ingredients. Distilled livens it up with some lime zest, and Lemon Sicily makes it more of a tart key lime flavor as opposed to a Persian lime.
FA Cream Fresh – Heavy Cream. An earlier version of this needed more heavy cream in the filling and in the topping, but increasing the CAP VC V1 was making the frosting just disappear indistinguishably into the base. FA Cream Fresh gets the job done without bringing anything unwanted along or hiding this next one:
LA Cream Cheese Icing – If it’s served as a dollop or quenelle on the actual bars, it looks pretty, but if you’re smart you’ll spread it around to make sure to get it in every mouthful. Here it provides a sweet creamy frosting with just a hint of cream cheesiness that that lingers on your palate delightfully. I love you, LA CCI.
FA Meringue - Elevates the whipped cream cheese icing to one in which you can really taste the sugar in it, without screwing anything else up.
CAP Cake Batter - Confession time: I can’t remember why I added this into one of the earliest versions of this recipe. I messed up by failing to write down the reason behind it in my notes. Then I just carried it over into each subsequent revision because it didn’t seem to be hurting anything. I was finally getting close and didn’t want to take it out and have that be a step backward. It might be giving the lime custard part a heftiness that it would be missing otherwise or binding together the crust like an egg. Or it might be mimicking the way that first two millimeters of dry crust absorb some of the lime custard's moisture in a heavenly gooey confluence. Or maybe it’s just weird, meaningless, and superfluous, and as such, I put it in there as a metaphor for life.
My financial advisor just glared at me, so it may be many moons before I am in a position to mix this. Awesome write up, as always though.
Oh and the answer to CAP Cake Batter is 42. Some machine spent a long time working it all out a long time ago.
This write up is so beautiful I would like to think it deserves it's own post in the sub.
People can say what they want about 8-12 ingredient recipes, but when they steep into a multi-layer taste bud orgasm, it's totally worth it.
Thank you. Wow. I might actually be blushing a little.
Usually I agree with everything people say about dozen-ingredient recipes. In my experience, there reaches a point where I've gone overboard adding more ingredients with each revision, created something that tasted like a big 'ol muddy mess, and needed to hit the reset button. But this one actually worked! It was like witnessing a minor miracle.
When I made Doug's Stuff, there was a post made shortly after knocking the concept of complex recipes. I was a bit perturbed, but ignored it. 2 nights ago, I busted out a bottle of Doug's Stuff that had steeped for 2 months and dripped it while re-reading that post. I had a smug grin the entire time because it tasted so freaking amazing.
Complex recipes require a lot of thought, planning, research, and also a bit of luck. In the end, they are probably just as tasty as Mustard Milk, but to me, it's a rewarding feeling when you nail something complex and pass it on to others.
So you ended up liking INW Piña Colada? That flavor is really hit or miss. Their Cocopilada is where it's at for me.
What % did you use? I'll give it another shot, even though it's been laying around for almost two years.
If I want a superior Piña Colada flavor, I'll mix my recipe.
INW Pinacolada has very mixed reviews, it might be as polarizing a flavor as TFA VBIC. I've found people calling it everything from "absolutely gross and weird at every %" to "spot-on perfect Piña Colada that only gets stronger, not stranger, the more you use." I'm not halfway in the middle, more like 3/4 of the way to "spot on." It was pretty good at 2.5%. It tastes similar to what I made, but mine is creamier, has a better pineapple/coconut balance, and most importantly, has that FA Jamaican Rum. Trying INW Pinacolada standalone at 2.5% is all I've done with it so far, but I plan to use it as a starting place to make version 1's of things like mango colada, strawberry colada, papaya colada, maybe even piña colada cupcake or piña colada cream pie. Then I'll use everything I've learned in building up the best piña colada I could to perfect those.
I really need to try that Cocopilada, especially if I'm going to take a stab at piña colada pastries.
What I didn't like was INW Coconut. Trance likened it to a coconut cream, but I think it tastes more like a mixture of coconut milk and coconut water and has an unpleasant woody aftertaste. If you do like INW Coconut, we have very different palates.
I thought it was just weird back when I first tried it. We probably have very different palates though cause I like INW Coconut a lot, altough for specific uses because of how creamy it is. We already talked about it in last month's thread... I'm one of those weirdos who don't think FA Pineapple is too bad.
I have to say, papaya colada sounds amazing. Thanks a lot for the inspiration!
I love key lime so 60ml was my test batch for this recipe. After four days I had to sneak a taste and was overwhelmed with lime. This morning I cleaned and wicked my RDA with high expectations. The first few pulls tasted like a bite of key lime bar and bit of napkin. (fresh cotton)
After vaping this for an hour to me it tastes creamier than a "Bar" more like a Key Lime Chiffon Pie. It's fluffy sweet/tart with a hint of crust now and then. Kudos id10-t!!!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Especially since you made 60ml; that is brave for a test batch.
How long did you let it steep?
Holy moly, thank you kindly for the gold! I will fit right in at /r/lounge, don't you think?
I posted this in the summer recipe thread but I might as well post it here for more to see.
Wapple - A juicy watermelon with light sweet apple exhale
Ingredient | % ----------|- LA Watermelon Colorless | 5 FA Fuji | 2.5 TFA Strawberry Ripe | 3 INW Cactus | 0.5 EM | 0.5
Total Flavor 11.5%
Please rate at e-liquid-recipes.com!
LA Watermelon (colorless) - This watermelon is a nice candy taste that becomes the main note at 5%. I previously had it at 6% but it totally dominated the flavor which was not my intention. The 1% drop made the apple shine through, and the supporting flavors shine more. If you want a less watermelon strong flavor, mix at 3-4% based on taste.
FA Fuji - This is a real apple. Probably my favorite realistic fruit flavor ever, and at 2.5% it's just prominent enough to be present of the exhale, with the tartness and sweetness not killing off the whole mix.
TFA strawberry ripe - Now I personally have a difficult time tasting this flavor. At 3% I get the sweetness up from all the fruits and a taste of realistic fruit without having a real strawberry taste (if that makes any sense).
INW Cactus - At 0.5% this only makes the flavor taste juicy. I was all the way up to 2% at my earliest mixes which, to me, was absolutely delicious but strayed to far from the idea of the recipe. If you don't have this flavor, pick up a 30ml bottle. It's like the cheat code for fruit flavors.
EM - As it always does, it only brings a roundabout sweetness and smooths out the harshness I sometimes get from FA Fuji.
This is a great shake n vape, but it shines best after a 2 day steep. It's always fun when I make a 60ml bottle and can taste it steeping throughout the next few days since it changes so quickly.
This is right up my ally and sounds good. I don't have the Cactus but I think I'm going to sub that for .5 TFA Pear. 3:1 Fuji/Pear is supposed to be a great green apple which I'm making tonight and see if it makes it work in this or conflicts with the watermelon & Strawberry, so another batch without it to compare.
What is your experience with Fuji's steeping? I've read a lot that it's fine after 24 hours and others say 1+ week is 100% a must.
You can't really sub cactus for anything, it's there to add juiciness. But I'm sure it would be a great addition, but it may not a little "dry".
Personally I enjoy Fuji most after about 2-3 days because it settles down a lot. I do shake n vape it because it only loses some of the artificial sour green apple flavor after only 24 hours but it's delicious regardless. Let me know how the pear is! I might try it with inw pear when I get off work.
I only have TFA Pear, and most say Fuji should be about 3% so I'll do that and 1% pear to keep the 3:1 ratio.
Then 2.5% Fuji, 1% pear, 1% green apple (FW). Another batch with that plus 1% TFA apple as I've read Fuji loves to play with other apples. One of them has to be a winner.
sorry, new to DIY. What's EM? i searched it on bullcityvapor but couldn't find it. thanks.
Just like /u/sadboysal said, ethyl maltol is EM. I believe TFA cotton candy is the same but i think it has additional flavors too.
I was bummed to see TFA Strawberry Ripe till I read your notes for it because I struggle to taste the strawberry as well. Gonna order the flavors I'm missing and give it a mix, thanks for posting it because it sounds delicious.
There's no strawberry flavor it's only for sweetness. Also I made some changes. 0.25% cactus, 3% Apple, 3.5% watermelon and you can sub em for TFA marshmallow
Thanks for the update, just changed the percentages in my mixing notebook. And yeah I was bummed at first to see the strawberry because I can't taste it well either and when I read the notes that it was for sweetness only got happy - cuz that's the strongest element of TFA Strawberry Ripe to me as well, the sweetness.
Ingredient|% :---|---: Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA)|0.55 Blueberry Wild (TPA)|6 Cake (Yellow) (FW)|2 Marshmallow (TPA)|2 Meringue (FA)|2 Sweetener (Sucralose) (TPA)|1 Vanilla Cupcake (TPA)|2
Flavor total: 15.55%
Remember to rate it at e-liquid-recipes.com!
I wanted a Boo-Berry cereal vape so I decided to make one. This is a higher flavor percentage than I usually mix at but here it just works.
TFA Blueberry Wild: Brings that sweet artificial blueberry flavor that is so dominant in the cereal. I also tried FW Blueberry and TFA Blueberry Extra but the wild worked out the best.
TFA Marshmallow/FA Meringue: The cereal has marshmallows in it so this was a no brainer but the combo here creates a more realistic Boo-Berry flavor. To me the cereal pieces themselves tasted sweet like being coated in sugar and this is where the meringue fits in. The two flavors combined also lends a creamy blend note that creates the illusion of milk/cream in a recipe that has none. Although I tried FA Marshmallow and CAP Marshmallow the TFA Marshmallow was just the best at pulling off that cream illusion.
TFA Vanilla Cupcake/FW Yellow Cake/Acetyl Pyrazine: I actually developed this recipe right before the FW flavoring scandal and that is why I hadn't shared it. I tried to replace the FW Yellow Cake but nothing worked. I love the combo of these two flavors, it creates kind of breadier sponge cake flavor which when you add Acetyl Pyrazine really just encapsulates those crunchy little cereal pieces.
TFA Sweetener (Sucralose): The mix is sweet enough without it but for the true effect of being a kid in the 1970's and gobbling down bowls of this stuff it is going to be necessary.
On the overall percentage: This is a higher flavoring percentage than I usually would mix at. I tried to bump it down and the result was nice but it wasn't a true Boo-Berry Cereal. Boo-Berry (if you've not had it) is super sugary and just exaggerated with flavor, the kind of cereal kids would pick out because of the cool box art but keep wanting time and time again because of a the amazing fake sugary blueberry taste that was simply invented to hook children.
At the time Boo-Berry was released in 1973 it wasn't just the only blueberry cereal on the market but supposedly the first one ever, that it's still around today says it's definitely a flavor worth recreating.
It's alright as a shake and vape but it really shines after 4 days.
Edited for readability and proper spelling of Boo-Berry.
I've been avoiding sharing my Yellow Cake recipes as well, even though I keep right on vaping them in private while waiting impatiently for a cancer-free replacement. Applause to you for coming out of the delicious cakey closet!
Wait, what happened with Yellow Cake I missed? What the hells in it everyone is tripping on? I remember everyone hyped it up not long ago.... Actually the first FW flavor I bought because everyone was talking it up so much.
It's damned delicious. Tastes too good to be good for you. And apparently it is not: it has fructose in it. Which besides gunking up coils really bad, could potentially be burning and releasing a carcinogen. As bad as smoking cigarettes? LOL, no. And plenty of us are still using it regularly. But many don't want to assume that risk, and I think everyone would like to see a replacement for it that everyone else can enjoy.
[I think this has everything you need to get caught up] (https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/49f487/just_got_off_the_phone_with_flavor_west/)
Anything you would sub out the TFA vanilla cupcake for? I haven't tried it yet, but I have everything else for this recipe!
I'd love to be able to give you an answer but the fact is I've become way too reliant on this combo and while I did try to replace the FW Yellow Cake I've never tried to sub TFA Vanilla Cupcake. CAP has a Vanilla Cupcake that may work but I don't have that one so I'm not sure.
Anyone else care to weigh in on this one?
Just wanted to let you know this recipe is awesome and I've been pounding down bottles. Thanks!
BUT
I found out that the Meringue needs to be dropped to at least 1.25%. I was starting to get a sulfur egg taste with the Meringue that high. Once I cut it down it made the whole juice last longer, taste better, and no more sulfur taste.
You're welcome and I'm happy you're enjoying the recipe. Some people seem to like it but almost all have a complaint part of the recipe. Mostly it's the blueberries, too much or too little. Sometimes it's the AP is too low so they can't taste the cereal.
Frankly I can barely mix anyone's recipe anymore without having to alter something as there are a lot of specific flavorings that just taste gross to me. That's why I got into DIY to begin with, so I could find stuff I could vape that wasn't disgusting to me. I'm glad you've found the version that was best for you.
Ingredient|%|This :---|---:|:-- Catalan Cream (FA)|1|is Banana Cream (TPA)|2|so Vanilla Custard (Flavorah)|3|damn Vanilla Custard v1 (CAP)|4|nice
Flavor total: 10%
__
This has been my ADV for the past two weeks, so I think it's worth sharing. Inspired by JTJM Creme brulee, this does NOT taste like actual crème brûlée. It's just a good, simple combination of banana, burnt sugar notes and tasty but light custard. Close enough for me not to buy JTJM brulee again. So, nothing new, nothing fancy, just good. Not much notes to be made about this:
FLV VC leans more towards vanilla panna cotta and CAP VC towards the familiar eggy, thick custard. Together in this recipe they make a great custard that's not too rich but not too light. I will be mixing these two a LOT in the future.
TPA Banana cream, well, it's banana pudding and unsurprisingly plays well with custards. I sometimes get some pear out of it, too, which is exactly what I experienced with JTJM brulee, so it's clearly a winner.
FA Catalan Cream gives some sharp burnt sugar/spice that cuts through the custards.
It's good right away. Obviously better, thicker and more mellow and banana'y after a week or two.
Damn. I've really been putting off buying Vanilla Custard v1... I guess this is going to be the reason I finally do it.
why would you put off buying that amazing flavor??? Speaking for myself, I will never buy less than 120mls of it from here on out.
Happy July Mixing All
Here is a yummy tobacco vape I call Cigarette Break. This is my first mix I have posted on Reddit. Usually post on the FB groups.

I started trying to build a better RY4 and started there. Biscuit is just heavy like smoke. 7 leaves give the real tobacco flavors without being licorice or peppery.
-
I took inspiration from Wayne on his RY4 with Pistachio and how he evolved it and why. http://diyordievaping.com/2016/03/04/the-new-pistachio-ry4u-recipe/
-
I use Carolina Xtracts nic at a 8mg VG Base on this recipe.
-
This is meant to be 2 mgs higher than you usual mix level, if you want the strong throat hit and cig effect.
-
So if you normally hit at 6mgs, keep it at 8mg for this recipe.

I've been wanting to try some CAP VCV1 for a while now since it's so revered.
*This recipe contains much diketones.
Lung Butter
Ingredient| % :---|---: Vanilla Custard V1 (CAP) | 6% Butter Cream (CAP) | 2% Cinnamon Roll (FW) | 3% Torrone (FA) | 1% Bavarian Cream (TPA) | 2% Sweetener (TPA) | 2%
When CAP VC V1 is done with me, you'll be able to butter bread with my lung tissue. How cinnamony is it?
It's not very strong, kind of reminds me of eating that cinnamon/margarine spread for toast my granny used to have.
Between single flavor reviews and being busy AF at work lately, my new recipes have kind of taken a back seat. However, I had an odd request from a co-worker last week to make a grape ice cream with "some of that graham cracker stuff" as he put it. I whipped this up on a whim and it's some of the dankest juice I've made yet. I can literally smell this stuff from 15 feet away in his tank. I would swear he was vaping it in the office just from the aroma it gives off.
Grape Ice Cream Cone
Vendor | Flavor | Amount ---|---|---- INW | Grapes | 4% TFA | Vanilla Bean Ice Cream | 3.5% FW | Bavarian Cream | 2% TFA | Graham Cracker Clear | 2.5% FA | Joy | 2% FA | Liquid Amber | 1% TFA | Koolada | 0.75%
Flavor total: 15.75%
Some low-effort notes
VBIC/Bav Cream Play together to make a thick sweet creamy base
Grapes/Liquid Amber Grape is the obvious top note in the recipe with purple and green grape nuances, and the Liquid Amber gives it a lightly fermented accent. Together they provide the true dankness of the mix.
Graham Cracker/Joy Provides a doughy and slight cinnamon tasting cone effect, but more like a soggy cone that you left your ice cream in for too long but in a good way.
Koolada As always, this is a preference thing, but to me, 0.75% adds a nice chilled effect without being too much. Adjust to your liking.
Thanks for this, it is very good. Personally, I always find TFA's VBIC really heavy and rich so this inspired me to make some simple modifications that I would like you to try out. I subbed in TFA VBIG and FA Fresh Cream for the cream base and it really seems to lighten it up which goes along with the koolada well for an ice cream type flavor. Give the Fresh Cream about 48hrs to blend in.
INW Grapes 4%
TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Gellato 3%
TFA Graham Cracker Clear 2.5%
FA Joy 2%
FA Fresh Cream 1%
FA Liquid Amber 1%
TFA Koolada 0.75%
That sounds like it would work well, although I do not have the Gelato. I am a big fan of FA Cream Fresh though! For a while I was using that and FA Meringue at 2% each in nearly everything I was making.
I would've thought TFA and CAP Bavarian Creams were enough, but now you've gone and made me move FW's way up higher on my list of flavors to order.
Honestly, you could easily sub TFA Bavarian Cream. I only used FW because a friend left nearly 4 oz of it at my house and I'm out of the TFA version.
I just read a flavor review of FW's that had comparisons to TFA's in the comments. It makes me definitely want to use FW's.
I might sub with TFA's so I can try this sooner, then go back and try the original when I get FW's in. I'm very new to INW Grapes, but after trying it standalone, I immediately knew one of the first things I want to do it is make grape ice cream (planning just INW Grapes & VBIC to start with), so I'm excited about this one.
I cannot believe how much I love this! Had to sub FW Bavarian Cream for TFA, but, otherwise, mixed it up as posted and gave it an inadvertent 3-week steep.
I'm forever trying to frame grape in either a powdery, tart junk-candy profile (Pixy Stix, Fun Dip), a juicy sweet way (Jolly Rancher, Bubble Yum) or add it to some kind of watermelon/menthol ratio, so I'm not sure I would have ever thought to pair it up with VBIC. And I definitely would have never thought to put it with Graham Cracker or Joy, but that is easily my favorite part of this recipe!
I love how that combo comes out on the tail end of the exhale, and it definitely makes for a convincing "cone" aspect, but it's not reading as "soggy" to me at all. Might be thanks to the longish steep, but, either way, it's great. Thanks for this!
I don't think I've had a batch last over 2 weeks, hopefully my bottle I recently made lasts longer and I can check in on the steep factor. Glad to hear you like it!
After talking with /u/ID10-T about summer flavors, a blackberry/blueberry/honeysuckle idea found me in my research. This can be played with a bit, but I like it here right now.
Black N Blue Suckle
FA Bilberry - 0.5%
TFA Blackberry - 0.5%
FW Blueberry - 3.5%
TFA Honeysuckle - 2%
FA Pear - 0.5%
INW Cactus - 0.3%
Honeysuckle, of course, is the very top note here. Blueberry and blackberry do a magical wood sprite dance in the background, where the background is a meadow illumimated by fireflies looking for a date. Its a warm summer evening where the air is sweet with libidinous anticipation and it is time to gather around the fire.
I included bilberry to add some musky aspects of that ever-so-sweet FW blueberry. The pear is present to help smooth the whole thing out (don't get me wrong, it still has a bit of a bite though and that is quite okay). The cactus is added to juice it all up a bit more (just as the right amount of booze can provide the right amount of lubrication for summer evening socialization). Plan the event ~~4-5~~ 7 days in advance and the stars should align to gather this group. Just come prepared to have a good time and go with the flow!
Edit: steep time
Sexy! Looks you distilled the essence of a cast party after a July opening night of a Shakespeare in the Park production of A Midsummer Night's Dream... or maybe the Party at the Moon Tower scenes from Dazed and Confused before the keg ran dry... and then mixed that concentrated experience into an e-juice.
Of course, there's a flavor I'll have to order, but it's just shot way up high on the list.
No drink pairing with this one?
Something along those lines, anyway...haha. Of course! Which one is that?
Well this is the first night that I've tried it where I felt it was reaching its potential and I have nothing to drink :/ But you know what? I feel very safe going with a Magic Hat #9 here.
LMN# - a Lemon Poundcake.
A sinfully butter-rich poundcake topped with a light, sweet, cream cheese icing drizzle.
- Cream Cheese Icing (LA) - 1.5%
- Golden Butter (CAP) - 1.5%
- Lemon (FE) - 4%
- Lemon Cake (INW) - 2%
- Meringue (FA) - 1%
- Sugar Cookie (CAP) - 3%
Flavor Total 13%
There are lots of fantastic lemon Poundcake recipes floating around, but none of them were ever quite buttery enough for me. To me, a good poundcake has a noticeable butter richness baked right in.
THE CAKE: [CAP Sugar Cookie, INW Lemon Cake, CAP Golden Butter, FE Lemon] CAP Sugar Cookie is undeniably a cookie flavor, but it's a butter-soft one, rather than one with a dry, crisp snap. It doesn't take much to turn it into a dense cake base, or, say, a shortbread layer, and that's where INW Lemon Cake comes in. It's got that light, sweet, lemony cakeness to it, but it's much thinner on the airy, yellow-cake crumb than, say, FW Yellow Cake. Here that doesn't matter, though, because this is a dense, spongy base, so at this percentage, the two mimic the texture of poundcake perfectly. CAP Golden Butter just reinforces that butter-baked poundcake flavor without weighing it down with cream the way CAP Butter Cream might. Finally, teaming up with that nice baked-in-lemon flavor in INW Lemon Cake is FE Lemon, and what's really magic about this specific flavor is that it works outstandingly well in bakeries. On its own, FE Lemon is a much sweeter, rounder, more candy-like flavor than any other lemon I've worked with. There's no high, tangy notes of zest or juice in it, and what's really great about it is it's incredible staying power. It's the perfect lemon to use in this case because it just seems to just soak right into this spongy cake base so nicely, making a perfect lemon-flavored poundcake.
THE ICING: [LA Cream Cheese Icing, FA Meringue] I'll find any excuse to shoehorn LA Cream Cheese Icing into a recipe, but here it's an especially tasty touch. Paired up with the light sugary taste of FA Meringue, it makes an authentically zingy icing drizzle to accent the lemon beautifully without weighing down the poundcake with creams.
STEEP TIME: This sat a month in my curing cabinet before I remembered I had it. It's probably fine as a shake & vape, but my gut tells me give it a week or two for the lemon to really mesh with the cake.
EDIT: I came home late last night, poured this into a tank, and was totally excited to share it. I meant to post notes, but then I got high. Better late than never? Either way, here they are now.
That LA CCI and Meringue combo is where it's at!
This looks so good I might have to order the CAP Golden Butter and FE Lemon I'd need to make it.
LA Cream Cheese Icing + FA Meringue = Sweet Icing LOVE!
Get CAP Golden Butter for sure (moar buttah', less cream), but, as for the FE Lemon, dammit, I wish I had an easy fix for that. I feel like I have every lemon known to man, and should be able to work around it with those, but, not yet. (to be fair, I don't have FLV Lemonade, which, weirdly, I suspect might be a good sub?)
Either way, FE Lemon is too good in way too many things to not have. It's lemonylicious, and has some incredible staying power. It really stands alone in terms of sweetness, fullness and potency.
I believe the author of the ELR Lemonheads recipe recently piped up, and that recipe is, indeed, dope. I messed with the percentages a bit, but, it's one of those recipes where you can tweak it to your tastes and not lose anything.
I wish you had an easy fix for that too... I've already got INW Lemon, INW Lemon Mix, CAP Juicy Lemon, LA Lemonade, and FA Lemon Sicily... And CAP Italian Lemon Sicily way up high on my list to buy. Now you're telling me I have to get FE Lemon, too??Sheesh!
I have a serious weak spot for citrus + baked goods in food and juice. Ok, on the list to buy list those go, on the list to mix when they come in this goes. As soon as I tasted Lemon Cake I knew I wanted to put CCI on it. After I tried CCI and Meringue together for my "Home Alone II" recipe I knew I wanted to put THAT on Lemon Cake. Before I even get a chance to try it, here you are with a recipe does that and more. Looking forward to making some!
I just had a thought; if you already have CAP Butter, try it with that. I remember hearing somewhere that it was comparable Golden Butter. I can't confirm, as CAP Butter was forever out of stock when I started mixing in November 2015, then they phased it out, but, maybe that'll help pare down the cost of your next flavor order? (still get LA CCI, though, 'cuz it's awesome.)
Thanks for thinking of my order costs, but I don't have CAP Butter. So I will need to order CAP Golden Butter, which I'm sure will come in handy somewhere else eventually. And FE Lemon, which is a minor pain for since I'll have to get that from ECX and I'm rather partial to BCV, but oh well.
ORDER CCI? You're preachin right to the choir on that one buddy. I have a 4oz bottle of that stuff that's half-empty and when it gets down to a quarter full, I'm ordering more like it's boner pills and I'm expected to service an entire women's volleyball team twice five nights a week. LA CCI running low?! Aw, hell, no! Send me that shit NOW.
Love the notes on this.
I actually picked up FE lemon on a whim and man I'm glad I did. It's such a great lemon flavor. I have JF Juicy lemon on the way so I'll have to compare the two. I think this is the recipes that will finally convince me to pick up LA CCI
I would love to know your thoughts on JF Juicy Lemon and how it compares to FE Lemon. Because on the one hand, I do not want to buy yet another lemon. On the other hand, I want to buy ALL the good lemons!
And, yes, definitely grab some LA CCI. I bet you'll find yourself using it a lot. It's a fantastic flavor, especially with lemon. (try /u/CheebaSteeba's Sweet Strawberry Cream with it, because hnnnnngh!
For got about this till last night, but I've tried the two side by side.
JF Juicy lemon is on point for sure. Very sweet lemon, but doesn't taste artificial or candy like. Mild tartness, reminds me of eating a lemon with a light sugar dusting.
FE lemon is much brighter and has more "bite" to it. Still very good, I'd put it more to just eating a straight lemon.
For me I'll use them both and lean more on FE lemon for drinks/fruit mixes and JF juicy lemon for savory/bakeries. I'm working on a lemon berry cheesecake for my GF and the JF lemon is PERFECT for it.

I was gonna gonna share some notes, but then i got high...afroman quotes aside. Dude this is exactly what I have wanted to vape - at least it sounds about right. Where did you find INW lemon cake i haven't even seen that on the sites i frequent.
Bull City Vapor has INW Lemon Cake in both 10 & 30 ml sizes in stock at the moment: http://www.bullcityvapor.com/lemon-cake-concentrate-inw/
It's a great flavor, and I'm willing to bet you'll find a lot of other uses for it.
My next project is trying to approximate a lemon/raspberry cupcake I recently ate that had a friggin' tower of sweet fluffy frosting spiralled on top with a dollop of tangy raspberry jelly nesting in the middle of it.
Ooooh I wish I was eating it right now...
Bubble Tea (v2 Not Final)
Black Tea (FA) @ 3.5%
Condensed Milk (FA) @0.5%
Jasmine (FA) @0.5%
Gummy Candy (TPA) @ 0.3%
Taro (FA) @ 0.3%
Steeped for: A Week and A Half
Notes I'm hoping this is the right thread to post in and get feedback, as well as post my own notes on some of the flavors. My goal here was to create a bubble tea flavor, not a boba + fruity slushy with hints of tea that you see so often. I feel like I'm getting close, but not dead there yet. Onwards!
FA Black Tea - I rather like this, but I think it's not a very strong flavor. It brings in that very slight tartness that you expect out of real tea.
FA Condensed Milk - I think it brings a nice milky flavor, but maybe not creamy enough. Everyone who warns about this being a "DO NOT OVERDO IT" Flavor- is dead right. I've done it in another recipe and it goes south QUICKLY. It hasn't here at half a percent.
FA Jasmine - I threw this in to enhance the tea, and based off a lot of other bubble tea recipes and clones that were more fruity. It's stronger than other florals I've used, so again a lower percentage. I do think it brings some nice depth with the black tea.
TFA Gummy Candy / FA Taro - I've put these together because I have no idea what they taste like on their own. I combined these for the tapioca pearl effect, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the combo really does work for this. The only problem is Gummy Candy does bring some fruit flavor to the table, but its outweighed in my book by the crazy realistic effect of something chewy and gummy that I'm getting from this recipe, which is a must for bubble tea. The Taro is in there to give something akin to a tapioca flour flavor, and the smell of the flavor to me , seems about right for what taro is in real life.
Overall Thoughts: I've still got a little bit of a "fruity" taste here I wasn't aiming for. (The first version was even further off the mark in that regard). But getting very close to what I was aiming for. It does need more of a creamy aspect to it though, and something a little sweeter wouldn't hurt, up front it's more tart (without being tart itself, just compared to the end), and the gummy/tarot taste is all on the end.
I know I don't want to add more Condensed Milk to it, so I'm debating if TFA vanilla bean ice cream should be thrown into the mix to bring in a little more sweetness, the vanilla certainly wouldn't hurt, and some creamy flavor to it. I'm tempted to up the tea slightly, and bring the jasmine down more just a hair. (4% and .3% instead of 3.5% and .5% respectively, and throw in 1% ish of VBIC). That said, I'm still new to this and only have about 3 really good recipes under my belt (with a few oh gods, why did I do that, and a couple like this one that are still getting refined), so if someone else has a suggestion I am all ears.
I'm working a bit on a Thai Tea myself and coming to similar conclusions. You definitely don't want to go higher on the condensed milk lol (I made a dilution of it and I think even 0.125% is too strong in some cases). I might suggest something like FA Fresh cream or FLV Cream if you need some extra creaminess -- FLV has the benefit of a little "spice" to it which would work nicely in a boba tea.
I got TFA Taro and CAP Jelly Candy to go along the same line of thought for tapioca pearls. maybe I'll get some TFA Gummy Candy to see how that works out.
TY for notes on Black Tea. I've had it for a while but haven't actually used it once; been kind of intimidated by it and wasn't sure where to start with it.
Don't think I'll be picking up FA Jasmine anytime soon unfortunately to be able to give this a try =/ I am messing around with FLV Thai Chai which has a bit of a floral aspect to it which I think will work well in this kind of recipe though.
Looks really solid brother, good stuff.
I've been tinkering with Capella's Sweet Mango for a few months, trying out different flavors to go along with it, tried (and failed) a yogurt recipe that I eventually gave up on. Shelved the flavor since then but recently brought it back out to play with. I've taken tips and tricks that I've learned on this sub and finally nailed the flavor I was going for.
Mango Crack
6% Sweet Mango (CAP)
2% Dragon Fruit (TFA)
1% Fuji Apple (FA)
1% Ethyl Maltol (TFA)
0.5% Papaya (TFA)
0.5% Cactus (INW)
Sweet Mango is the main note. On its own, it does have a nice mango flavor but does lack depth. I've tried mixing it on its own at a few different percentages but it always seemed like it wasn't enough until it became too much. From there I experimented with it by using Dragon Fruit and then Fuji Apple, I found that using these flavors gave the mango the depth it needed without altering the actual mango flavor. In fact, the Fuji Apple turned on a light switch for me that I was really onto something. From there, using a small amount of Papaya and Cactus gave it a juicy rind mouth feel that fit very nicely, and the Ethyl Maltol rounded everything together.
I left my mix overnight and it's absolutely delicious. It's like vaping a freshly squeezed mango fruit juice. Hope you enjoy.
I'm intrigued with your CAP Sweet Mango + Fuji idea. Have you let this sit for any longer than a night?
No I haven't, but I did make a bottle for next week to note any differences in taste.
Band of Color- A Skittles Candy Vape
I have fallen in love with this recipe. If you look up the original skittles candy flavors you’ll find that there are a few flavor substitutes. That’s a plus for us as mixers because that means OPTIONS! I do feel that these are the flavors you should use in this recipe, but I do encourage you to play with the %’s to please your own vaping palate. Good Shake and Vape, better after 3-4 days when citrus settles.

I Can't Believe It's Not Bronuts
- CAP Chocolate-Glazed Doughnut - 7%
- CAP Sugar Cookie - 1.5%
- TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust - 0.75%
- FA Joy - 1%
- INW Biscuit - 0.75%
Needs about a 3-week steep, then tastes like Bronuts, but without the cancer.
I'm almost convinced you can use this formula to replace FW Yellow Cake in any recipe. 1% Yellow Cake = 1.5% CAP Sugar Cookie, 0.75% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, 0.25% FA Joy.
As a base, 60% CAP Sugar Cookie, 30% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, 10% FA Joy, and then use 2.5% of that in place of every 1% FW Yellow Cake.
Try that in your favorite recipe that has Yellow Cake in it and let me know what you think!
This is pretty damn good, even as a shake and vape. This 30mL won't last to the 3 week mark.
It's been a long time since I've mixed the OG Bronuts so can't really offer a good comparison but from what I remember of it this is pretty close. Maybe a little less waxy than the original. Still a little 'tickly' on the throat but not as harsh as the original. Great improvement on the original. Nice work!
Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Hopefully soon a flavor manufacturer will come out with a legit substitute for FW Yellow Cake that won't gunk your coils and possibly give you cancer, but in the meantime I think "Idiot Cake" works pretty well as a substitute in recipes like Bronuts.
How do I go about making a 60 ml bottle of this base to use as I would yellow cake? I can't for the life of me figure it out. Signed..old and medicated. Lol
That would be 36g Sugar Cookie, 18g Cheesecake Graham Crust, and 6g Joy. Have you tried it? I don't want you mixing up 60ml of something you haven't tried yet.

Attempt at a chocolate milk. Let it steep a bit.
Not an all day vape, but sometimes I just want some chocolate.
Have you tried Waynes Golden Ticket clone? It's a pretty sweet powder nesquick flavor. I also have swapped out the vanilla swirl with simply vanilla and it made it more chocolatey and less sweet.
Cinnabar -- This is my novice attempt at a cinnamon roll with the ingredients I had on hand.
(Avast ye, there be Diketones abound)
Ingredient|% :---|---: Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP)|6 Vanilla Custard V1 (CAP)|5 Sugar Cookie (CAP)|2 Cake Batter(CAP)|2
Flavor total: 15%
I steeped this for 1 week, since CDS seems to be kinda harsh early on.
Cinnamon Danish Swirl is the main flavor here. It's an all around great flavor to me.
Vanilla Custard V1 adds that custardy creaminess that you get from a slightly gooey but not-too-gooey cinnamon roll fresh from the oven, which I find pairs well with CDS. It also adds more flavor to the mix so it's not entirely bread and cinnamon.
Sugar Cookie V1 was my attempt at adding the icing flavor. I don't like my cinnamon rolls drenched in icing, so a lower percentage of this was added.
Finally, Cake Batter really brings home the doughiness and gooeyness that I value so much from a nice cinnamon roll. VC adds a lot here, but I didn't want as much vanilla flavor as I did the cakey part.
I would highly value some recommendations and criticism.
I simply cannot imagine this not tasting very delicious as is. But to make it taste even more like an actual cinnamon roll, I would add TFA Brown Sugar Extra, because brown sugar is such a key component in cinnamon rolls. Also, consider adding 1% TFA Marshmallow. A steep, as you recommended, will help more than anything, but a little marshmallow also helps take the edge off of CDS.
If you like these flavors together and want to do something different with them, try my simple Snickerdoodle Cookie recipe: CAP Sugar Cookie 7%, CAP VC V1 4%, CAP CDS 3%, TFA Marshmallow 1%.
Stealing this. kthx
Stealing the Snickerdoodle? Have at it. I've shared it here many times. If you really want to have some fun, try dropping the marshmallow and replacing the CAP CDS with various other flavors at comparable %'s. You can make all kinds of cookies this way, provided you like your sugar cookies as I do, extra soft and buttery, with twice as much vanilla as the recipe calls for. Also try just leaving off the CDS and Marshmallow and increasing CAP Sugar Cookie to 8% for a simple soft buttery vanilla sugar cookie. You're welcome.
I've got a couple recipes that might be worth sharing. I'm still pretty amateur when it comes to developing my own recipes, so flavor notes will be sparse (if not absent). If you have any tips for improvement, please share :)
Forgot to Manscape! ^(a prickly cucumber ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ^)
<Cactus>(<INW>) @ 3%
<Cucumber>(<TFA>) @ 5%
<Honeysuckle>(<TFA>) @ 3%
<Lime Tahity (Cold-pressed)>(<FA>) @ 1.5%
<Menthol 10%> @ 0.7%
<Koolada> @ 0.3%
A refreshing summer vape. I wanted to use Cucumber in a recipe, as I haven't since I bought it months ago. Cool, slightly sweet, and refreshing.
Bubba Gum ^(not blowing bubbles... cloud gum?)
<Grape Juice>(<TFA>) @ 6%
<Fuji>(<FA>) @ 4%
<Pear>(<FA>) @ 1.25%
<Cactus>(<INW>) @ 0.25%
<Koolada> 1 drop per 15 ml
<Menthol 10%> 2 drops per 10 ml
After this steeped overnight, it reminded me a lot of the grape Hubba Bubba stuff I used to chew as a kid! This is a bit cooler, though
The first one isn't bad at all! However, I taste about 99.9% cactus with maybe 0.1% everything else (menthol/koolada aside, of course). 3% seems incredibly high for INW Cactus in my opinion. While it's delicious and I'm gonna power down this 30mL in under a day, I'm going to try again but with cactus at 1%. I'm really looking for a satisfying cucumber/lime/mint vape, and this looks like a great place to start!
Try this:
Arctic Winter (Menthol) FA @ 1% Cucumber CAP @ 6% Koolada TPA @ 0.5% Lime Tahity (Cold Pressed) @ 1.5%
I like to give it about 2-3 days
So many recipes with INW cactus in this thread. Is it really the god savior that everyone seems to revere it as for fruit flavors?
I'm trying to mix a juicy cucumber limeade with a hint of gin... you think this would be a good mid flavor to transition into something perfectly sweet?
Well guys, I didn't make into the Semi-Finals for the cannoli contest, but I did want to share my recipe with you all. I guess my cannoli was a tad too "outside the box" for what the competition was about, but none-the-less, someone may enjoy this as much as I did. Without further ado... Fuji Coccoli.....
Recipe: Fuji Coccoli
2% (FA) Cookie
1.5% Coconut (FA)
3.25% Fuji Apple (FA)
1.75% Joy (FA)
3.3% New York Cheesecake (CAP)
2.5% TFA vanilla swirl
Flavor total: 14.3%
Went through about 8 variations of this recipe. Even went to the bakery a couple of times to compare, and I think I was able to capture the Cannoli aspect nicely with this recipe.
The Cream Filling:
With it being summer time, I wanted to step outside of the box a little and create a different type of cannoli. So, I chose my filling to contain a nice creamy Fuji Apple/Coconut flavor.
Fuji Apple: Gives the filling an nice fruity sweetness, reminiscent of summer.
Coconut: Plays well with the Fuji apple giving it some nice body as well as giving it a bit of cream undertone as well - and of course ... the coconut goodness along with it.
Vanilla Swirl : Adds to the overall appeal of the filling. Gives it a nice vanilla kick as well as a bit more cream. Really rounds out the Apple and Fuji in this mix as well as giving the pallet a little more excitement. This also plays well in the pastry outside as well.
New York Cheesecake: I wanted to push this percent to brink of being almost too much. Many variations of this recipe landed me on 3.3% I feel it the perfect percentage to give it a nice thick cream base to really soak up the fuji and coconut. It leads to giving the vape a very dense/moist creamy mouth-feel.
The Pastry:
An original Cannoli can have sort of just a plain type of fried dough, but I wanted mine to be almost like a Funnel Cake type of flavor. This is why I chose Cookie, Joy, And Vanilla Swirl.
Cookie: This is the main pastry note. Its nice and dry which allows it to stand out more into the mix. With a buttery/biscotti type flavor, it really shines as a nice and flaky pastry.
Joy: Coupled with the Cookie, this where you get the "Fried Pastry" type of flavor. This is where the funnel cake pastry dough start to make sense. This was a must. Also gives a little extra vanilla bite to the vape.
Vanilla Swirl: This flavor had a duel purpose in this recipe. I feel this flavor not only helped the cream tremendously, but it also helped give the Pastry a little extra note of vanilla sweetness.
First recipe I've posted up. I made this flavor up for my girlfriend for a summer vape and it's been a huge hit with all my friends as well, I've mixed up a few 100ml's within a couple weeks for people.
Peach melon lemonade
LA Lemonade - @6%
FA Lemon Sicily - @1%
FLV peach - @1.25%
FA white peach - @1.25%
TFA Mango - @1%
FA Meringue - @.5%
Flavor Express Lemon -@.5%
Koolada -@.3%
Best shot at notes
LA Lemonade/FA lemon Sicily/FE lemon LA lemonade makes for a great lemonade base but my girlfriend and I wanted a bit more lemon behind it. FA Lemon Sicily was a good start but it was still missing a punch. FE Lemon gave it that bright lemon punch right up front.
FLV peach/FA white peach I love peach and my GF is obsessed but TFA juice peach kills me. FLV peach is a sweet peach, reminds me of the fruit cup peach which I love, but using the FA white peach gives it a great touch of freshness which worked great.
TFA Mango Honestly, this is the only mango I have. I'd really like to try a few others in this, CAP sweet mango or IWN mango, but @1% it adds just a touch of melon.
FA Meringue Just to sweeten it up. You could skip this but I like lemonades really tart up front with a sweet finish and I really think this adds to it.
Koolada To taste. Honestly I like .7-1% for me, but I can't even detect it till .5%. For my GF and all my friends this was perfect. Adjust as you see fit.
Read a lot of other peoples lemonade recipes while making this so huge thank you to everyone for all the recipes and notes they've posted. :-)
Berry Bay
I wanted another sweet, juicy, fruity flavor to add to my summer vapes. I know not many of you mixed my first submission but hopefully somebody will try this one out. It has a warmer berry background, followed by tart pineapple and kiwi. The strawberry is not prominant but will tie everything together while adding to the sweetness. Good as a shake and vape, but better after 3-4 days. Enjoy!

What's forest fruit like? Any subs for it?
It's currants mostly, sweet and bright and mildly tart, with ripe strawberry and hints of some blueberry behind them. Standalone it also has a bit of an apricot-like flavor I can't ID, but that gets hidden in a mix. No good subs for such a complex mixed-fruit flavor.
Just made some... with marshmallow FA in place of sweetener and only .5% pineapple because it's a very strong flavor to me.
So what do you think of it right off the bat?

I am really in love with this recipe right now. Great and refreshing in this hot weather!
These were my notes during recipe development:
3 week steep tasted really good. Refreshing and sweet, melon prominent, kind of a juice or cocktail texture, no meatiness. Couldn't taste any coconut though, added .5 to FLV Coconut, and 1.5% FA Coconut to boost it. Already pretty sweet, so adding the FA as it's not as sweet.. Good as is though, just would like a hint more of coconut. Also changing the fresh cream to vanilla whip cream for more vanilla flavor and hopefully mouth feel. Also FA marshmallow for thickening gooeyness, hopefully won't be too sweet?
V2 is perfect for me, the Vanilla WC added the creamy mouth feel it was missing. Tried at 2 week steep this time, couldn't wait anymore. I will be stuck on this one awhile :D

Yes, yes, yet another Strawberry milkshake..
lait à la fraise
Brand | Flavour | % |----|----|----| TFA | Malted milk | 1 TFA | Marshmallow | 3 TFA | VBIC | 8 TFA | Strawberry ripe | 6
2 week steep, thick, dense, unbelievably milky with no socks in sight. Could probably benefit from some more Strawberries in my stash but for the time being this definitely hits the spot.
This is a variation of a recipe originally posted by /u/grodek. It's a very mellow take on a common flavor profile. Some might find it bland, but I feel it has a subtle appeal where everything melds together into a cohesive whole without being in your face.
Melon INW, 2.8%
Honeydew TFA, 1.3%
Pear INW, 2.8%
Pear FA, 1.8%
Strawberry, ripe TFA, 1%
Cactus INW, 0.6%
Lime INW, 0.4%
It takes about a day before the Cactus isn't too much. This is my fourth iteration and the first time with the lime: which is what made it good enough to post. After a day the lime is very present, maybe a hair too much. This is also the first time I made enough for it to last more than a few days so we will see what it is like at the end of the bottle.
Melon+Pear+Lime. You have my attention. You shall be receiving feedback soon. Needs a name though...what shall I call this?
I enjoy this, but I wonder if the melon ends up heavier than intended after a steep. I like it as a shake and vape more than I do when steeped.
I agree. After a longer steep there is a very rindey off note on the exhale. I'm not sure if it is the melon or the mixture of melon and cactus. It's still not bad, I will try pulling back a little on the INW Melon but I'm not sure if it will be salvageable into something great.
7up
Aurora (FA) - .5%
Cactus (INW) - .5%
Champagne (TPA) - 1%
Citrus Punch (TPA) - 5%
Koolada (TPA) - .5%
Lemon Lime (CAP) - 5.5%
Lemon Sicily (FA) - 1.5%
Sour (TPA) - .4%
Sweetener (TPA) - .5%
This is my first public recipe, enjoy!
A few flavor notes: Aurora - This is an odd delightful intense flavor that just pushes this recipe over the edge. Its not completely necessary but its just not the same without it.
Cactus - This flavor brings back some of the wetness that the champagne takes away.
Champagne - This is what provides the majority of the effervescent feeling of the vape, it wouldn't be 7-up without the bubbles. It does have a tendency to dry out your recipe so be careful.
Citrus Punch/Lemon Lime - This is the major flavor profile of this beverage. Citrus punch also adds a little more of that bubbly feeling.
Koolada - It wouldn't be a refreshing citrus beverage without the ice!
Lemon Sicily - This is to boost the lemon flavor of the citrus punch since it seems to be a little lime heavy
Sour - This is used to add that lip smacking tartness the pop has naturally.
Sweetener - In order to taste like the commercial sugary pop that it is it has to have some added sweetener. It definitely isn't 7up without it, its just a lemon lime drink. May need to add more to taste, I don't normally use sweetener that much so I didn't add much.
1 week steep is recommended to smooth out the harshness that comes with all the citrus.
From <http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/759374/7up>
Late to the party as always. I've had a lot of.. difficult things going on recently so I've not really been inspired to rummage around in my flavor drawers for hours trying to find something decent.
SWEET PEAR | % ---|---|---- Pear (SCE)| 7 | Fuji Apple (FA) | 3 | Whipped Cream (TFA) | 1.5 | Dragon Fruit (TFA) | 1 |
So yeah, this started with me being lazy. A while back somebody posted a recipe with Silver Cloud Estate's Pear @ 7.5%. Being a huge pear fan, I fell in love and that's all I've been vaping recently since it's the easiest recipe I know. Again, lazy.
These additions came from my weirdly intense desire to have a "canned pears" vape. Y'know, the ones in syrup? So damn good. I'd tried in the past by simply adding sweetener but meh. I didn't quite achieve anything like that here either, but I do really like how it turned out.
-
Pear (SCE)
Silver Cloud Estate makes a phenomenal pear. It isn't too juicy or sweet, it is more like taking an actual bite of a pear. When I finish the recipe I have no doubt this will still be the star. -
Fuji Apple (FA)
Fuji has a tendency to provide some sweetness and juiciness to dryer fruit vapes. Plus it's just delicious. Plus apple juice is an ingredient in a lot of those syrupy fruit preservatives IIRC. Plus.. well just look at this and tell me you pear enthusiasts didn't pop a semi there. All in all this stuff adds a bit of tartness, some sweetness, and a juicy mouthfeel. -
Whipped Cream (TFA)
I love TFA's Whipped Cream. Why? Motherfucking triacetin. Triacetin is the main ingredient of TFA Smooth and does a phenomenal job (IMO) of blending and smoothing out harsher/dry notes in juices. I'm not 100% sure on the percentage I went with, you can taste it a little too much for my purposes. Still adds a nice mellow.. roundness of sorts. -
Dragonfruit (TFA)
What would a fruit mix be without a little pitahaya? The triethyl citrate makes for a great emulsifier and at lower percentages like this it really helps fruits shine without overpowering. -
OPTIONAL
A little bit of EM (maybe 0.5 - 1%) would probably make this mix more palatable to most. I've just gotten so tired of sweeteners that I haven't bothered trying. But yeah, I can see a benefit here.
Final notes, my ~~generalplan ost~~ master plan for the future is to try and replicate the syrup-y part more. That is more pressing to me than the pear flavor and the part that has eluded me the longest. I'd also like to take it a bit further and make a nice cinammon/pear/peaches, but that's long down the line. But the recipe above definitely makes a great vape if you're in to pears and apples! Hope somebody enjoys. And even if you don't, you should try SCE Pear. Beats every other pear I've tried.
The Simple Life - PomApple
FA Fuji, 2.5℅
FA Pomegranate, 3.8℅
Take two of the best standalone flavors I've ever had and mix them: success is virtually guaranteed. The Fuji provides sweetness and complexity and the Pom adds flavor and tartness. Acceptable as a shake and vape but it takes 3-5 days for the pomegranate to really shine.
Fuji + Pomegranate is verified success, in my opinion.
> Take two of the best standalone flavors I've ever had and mix them: success is virtually guaranteed.
Solid logic right there. Makes me want to try FA Pomegranate.
> Makes me want to try FA Pomegranate.
pssst.. I'll trade you my FA Pomegranate for one of your FLV Mango recipes :p
I'm assuming that I don't have to go in depth on flavor notes for this thread, so I'm just going to touch on them.
The following strawberry milk is still being worked on but is pretty good as is. It started off as a strawberry cookie and tasted pretty milky when I got to the current iteration and frankly i think it's better than the cookie would have been.
I think strawberry custard/cream/whatever is hard to fuck up and this recipe backs that up. I fucked up a cookie and still ended up with something good.
Anyway, here's Echo
1.5% - Marshmallow (TPA)
4% - Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA)
2% - Strawberry (TPA)
2.5% - Sugar Cookie (CAP)
0.5% - Sweet Cream (TPA)
1.25% - Vanilla Custard (TPA)
Marshmallow used to be at 2% and strawberry ripe was at 5% and strawberry wasn't in it. It was way too sweet so I dialed down marshmallow and rip and added strawberry to lower the sweetness and change the tone of the overall strawberry.
Sugar cookie was an artifact from the original cookie recipe. Thanks to the strawberry ripe you mostly get the powdered sugar and specific sugar cookie sweetness without the cookie itself which is what really makes this one unique
Vanilla custard and sweet cream were the magic that made the milk base. It's isn't super milky but I'm going to play with these two. I know that bumping up sweet cream to 3% (it was an accident) and vanilla custard to 1.5% made it more custard than milk.
I'm actually vaping this same recipe minus the two strawberries and it's really nice too. Sugar cookie comes out a lot more in the absence of the strawberry.
Try it and tell me what you think
Edit: added the name Echo because everyone and their friend has a strawberry custard style flavor.
I've never tried TFA Van Custard, but if it were CAP VC V1 instead, I could not imagine this not tasting good.
You didn't give it a name. All good recipes deserve a name. Or is "Anyway," the name?
I promise at 1.25% its really light. From what I read cap's version is heavier on the vanilla than TFAs
I haven't got a name for it. I'm open to suggestions.
I've only given one of my good recipies a name :/
Hey, something I have all the ingredients for. Might give it a shot. As long as it doesn't taste like all the unicorn milk clones; I'll be happy.
Let me know what you think, even if it's aweful
for sure man. Just ran out of Strawberry Ripe, so gotta wait for my BCV shipment to come in. I placed a big order of 120ml bottles of all the flavors i use the most last thursday.... even though i knew there was gonna be 4th of july sales going on this weekend and tomorrow. Last time i waited for a holiday sale; half the stuff i wanted was out of stock because so many people were ordering it. Gremlin's sale started earlier that most online companies, but even after their holiday discount, my BCV order was cheaper.... so I went with them (plus they had Strawberry Ripe in 120ml bottles and Gremlin only had 30ml for the biggest size in stock).
i suck at Reddit, do you know how I can kinda "tag" or "pin" this post so I can easily come back and let you know how i liked it after mixing it?
This one is inspired by a recent discussion I had with /u/NotCharlesManson about the merits and characteristics of INW Anton Apple.
Strapped Nana
INW Anton Apple - 3%
FA Fuji Apple - 0.5%
LA Banana Cream - 3%
FA Strawberry - 1.5%
CAP Sweet Strawberry - 1%
TFA Dragonfruit - 0.5%
For an authentic green apple, pick up INW Anton Apple. It is like a sour version of FA Fuji...absolutely delightful. I used Fuji here to add some of sweetness beneath the Anton. I used LA Banana cream because I knew it would work well as a base for this stunning gem. For more banana flavor, try 1-1.5% FA Banana to punch it up. As a compliment, I wanted a sweet fruit to bring it all together so I called on FA Strawberry to deliver the sweetness and CAP Sweet strawberry to boost it without letting it steal anything from my main event. TFA Dragonfruit is here to make sure that everyone blends well.
This mix has Green Apple smacking you in the face in the best way possible as it intoduces itself to you before leaving you with a smooth, sweet banana/strawberry combo and a lingering apple that beckons you back. No steep time required, but it gets better overnight.
> For an authentic green apple, pick up INW Anton Apple. It is like a sour version of FA Fuji..
You couldn't have told me this BEFORE I made my July flavor order today?!?
Manson or I could've told you that a while ago.
Could have, but, you didn't. I doubt you'd be intentionally withholding such valuable information. Must be because you're too busy waving your wholesale around.
Search turns up evidence that Manson has indeed been saying this to anyone who will listen, tho. Seems I just wasn't paying attention as well as Mr. Phucker, and for that I'll have to wait until next month to try it.
Coconut RY4
Ingredient|% :---|---: RY4 Double (TFA)|2.5 RY0 (INW)|1 Coconut Cookies (INW)|1.5 Coconut (FA)|1
Smooth, rich and creamy caramel coconut tobacco. It was pretty good when I mixed it up, then I forgot about it for a couple weeks and found the bottle laying around just now... Yeah, I'm definitely making more of this.
Do you have any notes on inw ry0? Any subs you can recommend?
I can't really think of any subs unfortunately... It's a dark tobacco with caramel notes, it gives some backbone to the recipe. Sorry I couldn't help :\
Flavor|Vendor|% :--|:--|:-- Peach (Juicy)|TFA|5 Sweet Tea|CAP|4 Green Tea|TFA|1 Lemon Sicily|FA|1
Description isn't really needed - tastes like Peach Snapple! I use liquid stevia from Trader Joe's at 1.5 drop/10mL but you can sweeten to taste with sucralose. I'd suggest 1%. Shake n vape all day.
Peach (Juicy) (TFA) - The peach part of the peach tea. It's my favorite peach I've tried so far. My mother would can peaches in light syrup every year and that stuff was gold. This flavor reminds me of them.
Sweet Tea (CAP) - One of the tea bases of the drink. I know this flavor seems to be hit and miss with some people, but I've been enjoying it in this recipe. Some people suggest black tea but there's something about this flavor that makes me think of a $0.79 can of tea.
Green Tea (TFA) - The dryer part of the tea. Snapple uses green and black tea blend in their drinks and the small amount of green tea in the recipe makes a huge difference.
Lemon Sicily (FA) - I was missing this in my first attempts. Something kept tasting off, almost like it wasn't tart or sharp enough. Decided to throw some of this in there, and it made a huge difference.
Hope you guys and gals enjoy!
CAP is discontinuing Sweet Tea. I'm afraid to make this. What if I fall in love with it and soon find myself unable to make more?
You might try TPA sweet tea, but the percentages would be different for it. Never tried their sweet tea so I can't say whether or not it'll be good.
The % would have to be much higher. I haven't done too much with TFA Sweet Tea yet but so far I've found it makes a very nice standalone sweet tea flavor at 10% but even that high it seems to hide behind everything I've tried mixing it with. Might've wasted my money on that one.
I've had my eye on FW Iced Tea, I might order some of that and see how it goes with peach, green tea, lemon sicily and some kind of sweetener.
When did they say that? I just ordered a gallon of CA sweet tea last week and they didn't mention that at all :(
Taking a break from my summer fruits and getting ready for some camping trips, I came up with this lovely morning vape, fantastic in front of the campfire waiting for morning coffee.
Ingredient|% :---|---: Booster (Tiramisu) (FA)|1.25 Chocolate Deutsch (Flavorah)|0.4 Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (FW)|6
Flavor total: 7.65%
Remember to rate it at e-liquid-recipes.com!
FA Tiramisu: A great Choco/coffee flavor. A touch on the bitter side but not too terribly so. Needs some creams to soften it up a bit.
FW Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: I've found this to be a bit sweeter than TFA VBIC, with much less buttery tones that I get from TFA. A nice sweet creamy base for my coffee.
FLV Chocolate Deutsch: Because there was no good reason not to, it's fucking good.
Cocodonut Cream
Steeped 4 days using Arctic .5 at 35%
Sweet Coconut (FLV) 5%
Vanilla Custard (CAP) 3%
Shisha Vanilla (INW) 1%
Glazed Doughnut (CAP) 2%
Cotton Candy (TFA) 1%
12% flavors 78/22 PG/VG
Coconut cream is a big reason I started DIY, there is no good ones I've found out In the market. This seems like a good base to start. The coconut is not overpowering or flower like, I really like this flavor. I love Vanilla Custard and with the sweet coconut it pairs together great I added a little Shisha Vanilla to give the creamy taste another dimension. The doughnut comes out just enough at 2% and brings the Flavors all together. I added the cotton candy as a sweetener.
I made 6 new Flavors a few days ago and this was the first one I tried and got to say it came out smooth and sweet. I'm liking it a lot but it will take a few tankfuls to find out if it holds up. I think I can do some things with this base so I'm pretty excited about it. Let me know what you think and If you have the ingredients I'd love to get feedback on how you think it turns out
This is my first recipe I felt was good enough to share, I've been trying to figure out a nice berry-melon-cucumber mix that is sweet yet refreshing and light enough to vape all day. It has a nice tartness that I'm enjoying a lot, too.
The cucumber/lemon-lime/cactus provide a nice backbone to balance the strong strawberry and watermelon flavors. Thinking of messing with the cucumber percentages a little bit, but I've enjoyed it this way a lot. Any suggestions or feedback appreciated, only been mixing a few months! Great shake-and-vape, best after a day or two.

I don't have all of these particular brands of flavors, but the profile sounds so yummy that I'm going to try it with a couple of substitutions (I know, I know) and report back.
Looks good! Thanks for sharing it.
Awesome Delicious Vanilla (ADV) Custard
So this is my first recipie I feel confident enough to share. It started off as an attempt to clone one of the juices that really helped me to quit analogs GNS Vanilla Custard (shout out to Alohma in Omaha). It's a really good vanilla custard with kind of a spice flavor I couldn't quite place.
I started by single flavor testing some of the vanilla and vanilla custard flavors I had. Got to CAP vanilla custard V1 tested at 5% and thought holy shit I can't believe it's a single flavor that I liked so much. Thought all it really needed was to be kicked up a % or 2 and a bit of sweetner. Took it down to the store and had a guy try it. He thought it was about spot on with some sweetner and maybe a little more creamy element. I got online and read the company's description of the flavor and it said "vanilla custard with a touch of custard". Hit the mixing station and came up with this:
Vanilla Custard V1 (CAP) @7%
Vanilla Custard (TFA) @2%
Fresh Cream (FA) @1%
Cotton Candy (TFA) @1%
As it turns out it is completely different from what I set out too make but it's probably one of my favorite flavors that I've tried.
Now I'm not very good at putting together flavor notes but this is how I can best describe it, a super creamy vanilla custard with almost a caramel and graham cracker exhale. I think the creamy from the TFA vanilla custard tones down the spice flavor I get from the CAP vanilla custard and the fresh cream ties it all together. The cotton candy adds just the right amount of sweetness it was lacking.
Here's a link to it in ATF: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/8139#awesome_delicious_vanilla_adv_custard_by_togiraikonoka0618
I think you could probably add a strawberry or maybe orange flavor to switch it up a bit (I'll probably try adding a little bit of of FW blood orange and see how it goes)
I haven't let it really steep yet but it's great for me after 12hrs and I'll be interested to see what it's like after a week or 2 if I can get it to last that long
Please let me know what you think here or on ATF.
EDIT: I tried adding 1.5% FW blood orange. Keeps the eggy creamy custard goodness with a touch or graham exahale, but it adds a nice orange top note and really adds some brightness to the recipe
Any suggestions on another orange flavor to try or other ways to improve on the original recipe would be greatly appreciated for a new DYIer.
Blueberry custard is always good. FW makes a good blueberry.
I don't have any blueberry yet. The only fruit flavors I have are key lime (tfa), black cherry (fa), lemon lime (cap), raspberry (fa) and blood orange (fw). Really need to get more fruit flavors so blueberry will probably be near the top of the never ending list of flavors to buy.
First recipe share on here. Lemme know what you think. Also, any recommendations welcome. It's a grape inhale with a slightly sweet lemonade exhale. Great shake and vape!

Happy cakeday & thanks for sharing! That looks it probably tastes very good. I'd mix it up and try if one of my nine lemon/lemonade flavors was FW Lemonade, but I don't have that flavor yet.
Someone recently mentioned adding FA Meringue to lemonade flavors, which is something I plan to try soon. You might consider it if you have some on hand. You could find you can use its powered-sugaryness to replace some of that CAP Super Sweet, which will gunk up your coils and has a chemical in it that might cause sterility.
Edit: /u/Philosaphucker what you think of this one? Grapes and Cactus.
What do I think?! I think I am going to be mixing this tonight with LA Lemonade instead of FW (i dont have fw), FA meringue instead of sweetener, and half of the koolada. Totally worth a shot from where I'm sitting!
Good to know about the super sweet! I'm a girl and don't want kids but I don't want any of my friends to risk sterility.. well maybe a few of them should be sterile but that's a different story :). I will definitely try the meringue. I have 3 different ones I think. The FW lemonade is the only one I have. I will prob get some other ones in my next order and see how I can improve the recipe. Also thanks! I didn't even realize it was my cakeday!
As a guy who's done making babies I consider the risk of sterility from sodium benzoate, however infinitesimal, to be a feature, not a bug. Maybe I could spend my saving-up-for-vasectomy fund on more flavors instead? But the coil-gunking is no bueno. Try FA Meringue, starting and 1% and maybe going up a half to one percent from there if 1% isn't enough.
Did you see Philosaphucker's reply to my comment?

- CAP Sugar Cookie - 4.25%
- TFA Vanilla Swirl 2%
Tastes like /u/NotCharlesManson 's incredible Strawberry Shortcake Bar (minus the stick), minus the FW Yellow cake.
edit: Oops, I forgot to list the 2% Vanilla Swirl
I'm almost convinced you can use this formula to replace FW Yellow Cake in any recipe. 1% Yellow Cake = 1.5% CAP Sugar Cookie, 0.75% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, 0.25% FA Joy.
As a base, 60% CAP Sugar Cookie, 30% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, 10% FA Joy, and then use 2.5% of that in place of every 1% FW Yellow Cake.
Try that in your favorite recipe that has Yellow Cake in it and let me know what you think!
NO. I will not till all 60ml of it's gone. I will make a note of this and keep for future use
I'm right there with you, and have about the same amount of Yellow Cake to go through, maybe more (whatever's left of the 4oz I bought) before I start making it this way on a regular, non-experimental basis. Can't let that deliciousness go to waste, regardless of coil gunk and cancer. But here's to the future.
Oh, wow. I have all the ingredients I'm missing coming in from BCV in a couple days. I'll try this ish out and report back. Definitely going to try out the yellow cake replacement. Excited to see how that works out.
I recommend trying the original Strawberry Shortcake Bar. It's better. I get tired of flavors easily but I keep coming back to this one, I think it's safe to say it's my favorite recipe. And it's the reason why I have something like a crush on /u/NotCharlesManson. One of the things I love about it is how delightfully it copies the reference. It tastes so spot-on one of those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars that it's almost freaky. I can feel my 8-year-old legs chasing after the ice cream truck while I vape it.
So yeah, try the original first. Or make them both and do a side-by-side comparison if you're mostly interested in the Yellow Cake replacement. I called this recipe "I Can't Believe It's Not..." because it tastes like the original in the same way that I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! tastes like butter. You know it's not butter. It's not going to pass a blind taste test against butter. But if your doctor just told you your arteries as clogged as I-35 in Austin and you can't have butter anymore, you'll find something better for you.
I'm not totally sold on this YC replacement working in every recipe, but to have it work so well in two well-renowned recipes is super encouraging. I'm trying to get others to try it to make sure it's not just me; could always just be that my palate's gone off.
Well, I've got a personal recipe I can try it in, so I'll mix it up and see. Plus, I know Bronuts, so I can test it out in there. Luckily, I ordered the final two ingredients I needed for Manson's Strawberry Shortcake Bar (you don't know how excited I am), so I can do a side by side of them as well. Might as well do a single tester of 1% FW Yellow Cake and the ID10-Cake as well. I have the power!
I've been working on this recipe on and off for a year but I think I probably need different flavors..
Ingredient|% :---|---: Biscuit (INAWERA)|1 Cinnamon Danish Swirl v2 (CAP)|3 Coconut Extra (TPA)|2 Custard (FA)|1 Key Lime (TPA)|4 Meringue (FA)|1 VBIC (TPA)|3
Flavor total: 15%
Remember to rate it at e-liquid-recipes.com!
So, I'll walk y'all through this and hopefully I can tweak this a little bit more. It's not bad but it's missing something.
TFA Key Lime: Main ingredient. Would tahiti cold pressed be better for this recipe? Maybe? I don't own it but I've heard amazing things about it. Anyways, it's a pretty tart/candy key lime that still works pretty well given everything else going on in here.
CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl: Cookie/pie crust base. Chosen because it's pretty mellow on the cinnamon and has a distinct cookie flavor that I like for pastries more than actual graham cracker flavorings usually.
INW Biscuit: Just adding another layer with the cinnamon danish. I might try FA cookie next time, however I find FA cookie to be sort of "nutty" in a way that might not jive with this.
TFA Coconut Extra: I bought this for a couple other recipes (all the "blood" recipes) but I find it's not too "candy" like and has a buttery/fatty vibe to it. Too much of this tastes like sunscreen, I might even lower this to 1% in the next iteration.
FA Custard: Chosen because I wanted to add a custard, but this one has a lemon note to it. I figure this would blend nicely with the key lime and add a little depth on that side.
FA Meringue: I could have used all sorts of other stuff, like FA fresh cream, or whipped, or whatever, but I fucking love this stuff. It's incredible. I add it to almost all my pastry-type flavors.
TFA VBIC: Pie and ice cream, why not? Some people hate this flavor -- it's going to depend on how you react to the volatiles in this one. I also picked this to blend out/mellow the key lime a bit as it tends to mellow out almost every fruit flavor it comes in contact with.
...aaaand that's what I've got going.
Tasting notes: Very blended -- no single flavor sticks out too much. I would prefer a more juicy/sweet lime so the cold tahiti might be on the order list in the future. Smooth enough to be an ADV for me though, but I love key lime pie.
Have you tried any other coconuts besides TFA Coconut Extra?
I have not, and I'd be eager to order something different as it's got a high amount of acetoin in it..
I haven't tried FLV's coconut or sweet coconut flavors yet, they might be the best. But I can tell you that FA coconut is a real natural coconut flavor like coconut flesh or dried coconut (very authentic, lacks creaminess) and TFA Coconut Candy tastes like the inside of Mounds bar (great ingredient, can taste weird if you use too much). The two of those together might work wonders for you. I didn't care for INW Coconut; it tastes like coconut water and has a little bit of a "woody" aftertaste.
Moar tobacci, this time an apple-menthol tobacco. Rich, sweet, slightly tart apple with a helping of cool menthol served in an ashtray. Yum. At the moment my go-to beervape.
Ingredient|% :---|---: Arctic Winter (Menthol Artic) (FA)|1 Cured Tobacco (Flavorah)|0.5 Fuji Apple (FA)|1.5 Mild Winter (Peppermint) (FA)|1 MTS Vape Wizard (FA)|0.25 Natural Mint (INAWERA)|0.5 RY4 Double (TPA)|3 Two Apples (INAWERA)|1.5
Flavor total: 9.25%
Tobacco base: The tried and true RY4D and FLV cured tobacco is wonderful, here at low % since I wanted it just to linger in the background.
Apple main note: FA Fuji + INW Two apples play fantastically together, fuji being the main profile as a sweet red apple, with 2 apples bringing more depth with sour and bright notes.
The menthol: FA arctic winter brings the icy menthol, with FA peppermint and INW natural mint bringing sweetness and flavor.
Arctic winter and fuji tend to be a bit harsh on the throat, so 2 drops/10ml MTS will smooth them a bit, but that's optional.
1 week steep.
I have a question for you about Flue Cured + RY4D. I've got a couple of bottles mixing, and you say it's tried and true. So one of the things I've noticed and seen mentioned is that the flavor of Flue Cured dies out after a couple of weeks. But RY4D only gets better after a couple of weeks. How do you find the two working together after like a 3 week steep? Is the flavor of the Flue Cured just more muted but still present?
You're absolutely right that they're a tricky combo for the reasons you mentioned, and to be honest I haven't had a batch of this steeped for over 3 weeks yet. It's certainly at it's best between 1-3 weeks of age, at almost 3 weeks the tobacco is still noticeable but quite faint. This would probably work better with a different tobacco if you plan on making a large batch.
Thanks for getting back to me, and sorry for the delay, I have been moving. I love these two flavors, but they have definitely been fickle to work with, especially to get a good proper cure going. I have an order coming in with desert ship, 7 leaves, some various INW and Hangsen tobaccos... So I'm gonna do some tasting notes on those and see how they mesh with ry4d. When I get some results I'll let ya know or post it to the sub. And again, thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward to mixing your recipe up!
Mellon Burst
Honeydew Mellon (CAP) @ 7%
Peach (Juicy) (TFA) @ 2%
Strawberry (Ripe) (TFA) @ 2%
Rasberry v2 (CAP) @1.5%
Flavor Total: 12.5%
My first recipe that I like enough to share with the internet. Feedback would be apriciated.
This uses honeydew as the main flavor. Peach (Juicy) and Strawberry (Ripe) mellow and sweeten the honeydew, and Rasberry adds a nice tart taste to the exhale.
Edit: I forgot steep times so here it is. Works as a shake & vape, but for best results steep at least overnight.
Can't say I've tried CAP Honeydew but from my experience with TFA, anything above like 0.5% is plenty for the juice to only taste like honey dew. I generally use 3 drops as a compliment and that's very strong. CAP might not be the same way but you may try lowering the honey dew and find that it actually tastes better and more like honeydew.
Cap is very very different and requires somewhat high percentages as a front note
Mr. Hat V2 - Honey Apple Tobacco
- Bavarian Cream (TFA) @ 3.00%
- Fuji Apple (FA) @ 2.50%
- Nutty Princess (INW) @ 2.00%
- Milk & Honey (FLV) @ 2.00%
- Green Apple (TFA) @ 1.00%
- Cubano (TFA) @ 1.00%
Flavor total: 11.50%. This is version 2 where I dropped the Latakia from version 1, replaced FA Honey with FLV Milk & Honey, and bumped up the Fuji slightly.
Something I've been wanting to make for a little while. So far I'm just shaking and vaping, so time will tell how this flavour steeps. However, I think I've found a new all day vape. I'd be very interested to know what you guys think, or any ideas anyone has to improve the flavour!
70:30 - VG:PG
17.5% total flavour
- Banana Cream (TPA) - 3%
- Bavarian Cream (TPA) - 1%
- Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA) - 4.5%
- Dulce de Leche (TPA) - 3%
- Sweet Cream (TPA) - 3.5%
- Vanilla Custard (TPA) - 2.5%
Disclaimer: I subbed FLV Vanilla Custard @ 1% since I didn't have TFA Vanilla Custard. Based on creator's responses, should be a viable substitution.
So what you've got on your hands here is a really tasty banana vape; I can definitely see how it made your ADV (congrats there!).
Now the recipe doesn't claim to be a banoffee pie, but when I see banoffee, I think "pie." With that reference in mind, I expect a little more graham crust and I kind of want the banana to pop a little more. My suggestions here would be to add some TFA Graham Cracker Clear, and maybe a touch of another banana (HS Banana, FA Banana, or a very small % of Ripe Banana if you can only get TFA, or maybe up the Banana Cream a bit).
It is a little wet (which I would probably attribute to the high levels of DAP) for my palate, but not overly dense. It's a very smooth and tasty banana cream vape with a touch of dulce de leche and some graham crust.
Well done! Was not disappointed with this vape.
Looks really good, Banoffee pie is something I've been putting off for quite a while and I don't know why! How would you describe TFA Vanilla Custard? It's the only flavoring I'm missing.
vanilla custard is a pretty distinct flavour, but actually it's far from the most necessary component in this recipe. it mainly contributes a bit of extra sweetness and creaminess in a kind of mellow way with the vanilla. im sure if you omitted it, you will probably still end up with a nice vape, but i haven't tried it without.
This is a recipe incorporating pear, caramel & cream. Wayne Walker did a quick Pear Caramel on his vid a couple weeks ago and it inspired me a great deal. This tastes almost like a cooked pear in a way. Asian pear is what it reminds me of, with a caramel drizzle. It's not a good S&V, as it tastes like apple straight away. Definitely great after a 5-6 day steep(I think it shines at day 13 personally, because the brown sugar really shines through with the caramels). Very smooth, with a brown sugar/pear inhale & a cream, pear & caramel exhale. I hope you enjoy it. It was fun to make & 'fell' into place so quickly and easily! (I'm sorry for my formatting. I'm new and still trying to figure out how you all create those neat little boxes for posting recipes!)
Caramel-Drizzled Asian Pear
Pear Concentrate (INW) @0.15%
Pear (FA) @1.75%
Fuji Apple (FA) @0.25%
Vienna Cream (FA) @1%
Shisha Vanilla (INW) @2%
French Vanilla Cream (TFA) @3%
Caramel (FA) @1%
Caramel Candy (FW) @1%
Brown Sugar Extra (TFA) @0.5%
Notes: My choice for the caramel was based on the fact that I didn't want a heavy, sticky, buttery type caramel like you would have with a caramel apple. I wanted something light but still prominent enough that you know it's there. My choice of FW Caramel Candy & FA Caramel made that work. With the addition of Brown Sugar Extra, it gave my caramel the kick I was looking for. This combination tastes like 'homemade' caramel you make in a skillet, as opposed to candy caramel.
FA Pear, to me, was great. But on its' own was lacking something that brings out that Asian Pear quality. I felt the addition of INW(at a low percentage) & FA Fuji created the 'cooked' or marinated pear flavor I was searching for.
The cream is just added for mouth feel and fullness of the vape. I chose TFA French Vanilla because it isn't as heavy as Capella's.
Again, this really shines at 13 days steeping. Any sooner(as with a shake and vape, it tastes like bland apple)
If you've ever tasted reverb from audiofog, this is as close as I could get. The flavor profile is suppose to be strawberry fruit chew, resembling a pink starburst.
All flavors are from tpa...
Strawberry - 8% Strawberry ripe - 3.5% Vanilla swirl - 4% Watermelon- 2 or 3% Sour - .5 % Cotton candy- 3%
Not sure if cotton candy is essential. I know some people don't like sweeteners but it really gives it the candy effect.
It's a good insta vape but gets better after a day or 2.
Feels like it may be missing something but definitely an all day vape and hard to put down. This is literally all I vape since I've discovered it.
Summer's Chill
0.75% Cactus (INAWERA)
5% FA watermelon
4% Green Tea (TPA)
1% Koolada 10% (TPA)
1.75% Sour (TPA)
2% Two Apples (INAWERA)
Flavor total: 14.5%
Was looking for a nice refreshing Summer Vape. Also, I wanted to play around with a few new flavors to see how they would hold up to one another (Specifically "Two Apples").
This turned out to be an incredible, refreshing, and delicious vape. Watermelon holds up both on the inhale and exhale. The exhale, in my opinion, is where all of the flavors dance! You get the Watermelon/Cactus mix upfront, followed by a nice herbal/floral tea mixed in. The Two Apples/Sour combo gives it that nice extra kick to the pallet with a cooling finish. This will stay in my rotation for a long time to come.
Enjoy! If you end it up mixing it up - let me know what you think.
Raspberry Pie
- Raspberry (FA) 1.5%
- Raspberry (SOL) 0.5%
- Biscuit (INW) 1%
- Custard (FA) 2.5%
- Cheesecake Graham Crust (TFA) 2.5%
- Bavarian Cream (TFA) 2%
Delicious raspberry pie with crème patissière. You probably don't have SOL Raspberry so use your favorite combo. SOL is very realistic and a little tart, FA is more candy like with some slightly floral notes. They are my favorite raspberries and go great together.
Eton mess goodness alert !
Right, after vaping away several barrels of element strawberry whip I did take the matter into my own hands and came up with a juice of my own. This is my first one but I think I did ok...
You can find the recipe here : http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/758870/Eton+mess+goodness
Or:
Vendor|Flavor|Amount :--|:--|:-- TPA|Sweetner|1% TPA|Rasperry(sweet)|1.2% TPA|Strawberry(Ripe)|4% CAP|Sweet Strawberry|5% TPA|Vanilla Bean Ice Cream|1.8% TPA|Whipped Cream|3.8%
Total flavour : 16.8%
It really reminds me of a strawberry pavlova or as some of brits knows it as an eton mess.
It is good as a shake and vape, after one week of steeping the strawberry flavours really grow.
I was not a big fan of all the recipes using custard etc...
Let me know if you guys find some things that can be improved or tweaked (perhaps replacing the vanilla bean ice cream for tpa ?)
After unsuccessfully trying homebrew tea extractions, i decided to pick up some FA Black Tea. I made my first recipe with it which after a few variations, turned out to be a really light and refreshing summer vape
Arnold Palmer
- FA Black Tea 2.5
- LA Lemonade 4
- FA Lemon Sicily 1.5
- TFA Sweetener 1
Needs a day or two for the tea to smooth out
You know what might be good in this? Some TFA Bourbon or FA Whisky to turn it into a Tipsy Palmer aka a Back Nine.
as someone who has yet to develop a taste for harder alcohols, i doubt i would like it, but lemme know how it goes if you try!
Vendor | Flavor | Amount ----------|---|------------- CAP | Sugar Cookie | 6% TFA | Graham Cracker Clear | 2% FW | Yellow Cake | 1% TFA | Strawberry (Ripe) | 3% LA | Cream Cheese Icing | 3%
I hit on the Sugar Cookie/Graham Cracker/Yellow Cake base when trying to nail down a chocolate chip cookie, but CAP chocolate fudge brownie is too strong. So, plan B was to come up with something else to put with it. As it turns out, Strawberry ripe and cream cheese icing are perfect for that task.
I'm a total greenhorn, so comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Snow Man- A simple Andes Pillow Mint recipe, has a chocolate after tone after the mint comes thru.. a very nice vape..
felt i would post it after watching Wayne's Video Cast yesterday ..i have been vaping this off and on for a few months.
Bavarian cream (TPA) @ 2%
Dairy milk (TPA) @ 2%
Marshmallow (LA) @2%
Megasweet (Delosi) @.5%
Peppermint (CAP) @2%
Peppermint (Delosi) @2%
Rum (Delosi) @1.5%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (CAP) @3%
flavor total is 9.6ml /15% for a 64 ml bottle @70vg/30pg -3mg nic
I'm a new mixer and stumbled upon this recipe. I'll admit it was an accident but the end result has sort of an egg custard snowball flavor.
Max Vg TFA Mandarin Orange 5% TFA Hawaiian Drink 1 drop per 10ml TFA Smooth 1 drop per 10 ml TFA Vanilla Swirl 1 drop per 10 ml TFA Ethyl Maltol 1.5%
At first I mixed everything except for the vanilla swirl and thought I had made a good mix. It tasted petty good but I just got some vanilla swirl the other day and thought about using it. I was surprised at how much it changed the profile by adding it. I'm not saying it's great but I can vape it.
I was intrigued by Bilberry when I heard about it. Nobody could quite describe what its like and when I got it and finally took a big 'ole whiff it was awful. This stuff literally smells like a goat's asshole, making me all the more excited to see the hype. After playing around what felt like a million times I got this.
Bitter
-
2% TFA Dragonfruit
-
2% FA Fuji
-
2.5% INW Mango
-
2% CAP Golden Pineapple
-
1% INW Lemon
-
0.5% INW Cactus
-
1.5% INW White Grapefruit
-
1% TFA Koolada (If you so desire)
-
1 drop per 10 mL Bilberry
This vape you will drip, take a hit, and then immediately think to yourself "Why do I like this?". It has a strong, juicy, citrus flavor mixed with an odd almost bitter flavor added by the Bilberry. Do not let the name or description turn you away from buying this flavoring. I hate anything bitter with a passion. I'm very picky with my vapes, hating just about any creams and vaping almost exclusively fruity blends. This stuff is fantastic. It is one of the most weirdly satisfying recipes you will ever try and if you haven't gone ahead and bought Bilberry I'd highly suggest you do.
The lemon flavor is very strong as there are lots of citrus compliments with the white grapefruit and cactus so you may be able to go as low as .5%. I just ordered FA Lemon Sicily so I will experiment subbing it in as its referred to as one of the better lemon flavorings. Besides that the only advice I would say is make sure you use bilberry last and clean your syringes very well after as it's incredibly strong and the difference 1 drop can make is huge.
This is not a shake and vape! This recipe needs a bare minimum of 12 hrs to steep, but I'd give it 3-7 days for optimal blending. Enjoy!
I'm definitely going to have to make this as your flavor preferences mirror my own.
Questions - What is the hype about Bilberry?
Also, what is all this about cactus? It is in so many recipes but I have no idea what it tastes like.
Dude I don't know about bilberry. It's just a weird, almost bitter flavor that tastes almost bad but fucking amazing at the same time. It's worth the $2 to try imo.
Cactus is my top 3 flavors and I generally use it as a primary flavor. It's very juicy and refreshing like no other flavoring and the flavor is just good, not really something comparable to any other flavors. [Here's a link to my 2nd place Cactus recipe on the May thread.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/4h9vnb/may_2016_recipe_thread/d2pcrd8) Whenever I sell juice Cactus is generally the most popular, it's definitely another one that's worth a few bucks to try.
If you haven't already, please try adding some FA Bilberry to FW Blueberry.
I'll buy some! How much would you add?
It depends on how you are using it, but I posted a recipe in the thread that provides an example. Overall though, once you find a percentage of blueberry you like, the bilberry can be used to deepen it into a more realistic flavor.
I vaped 130ml of this till now. I love it, and I wanna ask you what do you guys think about it:
SUMMER VIBES
TPA Banana Ripe 2% TPA Strawberry 10% TPA Marshmallow 3% FW Extreme ice 0.5-1%
It's simple but imo it's refreshing. Any thought/tip about it is important for me!
After 2 days of steep, the strawberry will mix with the banana. After 5 days It's ready to vape!
Fixed the formatting for you. :)
SUMMER VIBES
Ingredient | % ---|--- (TPA) Strawberry | 10 (TPA) Marshmallow | 3 (TPA) Banana Ripe | 2 TPA Extreme Ice | 0.5 - 1
First of all I just want to thank everyone for continuing to post great recipes and great advice!
Been DIY'ing for around 9 months, I don't mix all that often but I'm getting there! This is my first post on here because this is my first fairly complex recipe that I really enjoy. This may need some tweaking but I often change at least one thing each time I make it. Id really appreciate to hear what you guys think.
This is my latest batch, it's yet to fully steep but it's close to what I've made previously.
Raspberry Lemonade
Pink Lemonade (OOO). - 4%. Citrus Punch (TPA) - 3%. Raspberry Sweet (TPA) - 3% Raspberry (INW). - 1.5% Cactus (INW). - 1% Dragonfruit (TPA). - 2% Koolada (TPA). - 2% Meringue (TPA). - 1.5%
Pink Lemonade / Citrus Punch I wanted the lemon in this recipe to be the first thing you notice when you vape it and with these combined at 7% it's gives me that. The citrus punch is there to back up the Pink Lemonade while giving a fruity undertone which helps meld into the raspberry.
Raspberry Sweet / Raspberry This is supporting note of the recipe. Raspberry (INW) gives the tartness and body of the fruit and the Raspberry Sweet gives it a candy coating taking the potential harshness off of the Raspberry (INW)
Dragonfruit This provides a bridge between the lemon and raspberry while adding a different dimension of fruitiness.
Cactus What's a fruit recipe without a splash of cactus? Some say it's overused, I say it's necessary. It adds a wetness and juicy feel to the vape.
Koolada I've had trouble finding the right percentage for this. Too low and you don't notice it, too high it begins to mute things. I thing 2% could be on the fence if not on the mute side. Adds a coolness and menthol feel, it's the ice in the cup.
Meringue This is a new addition to the mix as I've found this can sometimes be slightly harsh. I added to blend everything together, taking away the harshness from the lemon note as well as adding a slightly different mouth feel.
Let me know what you guys think! If there's anything I can add/take away from this.
7up
This is my first public recipe, enjoy
Aurora (FA) - .5% Cactus (INW) - .5% Champagne (TPA) - 1% Citrus Punch (TPA) - 5% Koolada (TPA) - .5% Lemon Lime (CAP) - 5.5% Lemon Sicily (FA) - 1.5% Sour (TPA) - .4% Sweetener (TPA) - .5%
A few flavor notes: Aurora - This is an odd delightful intense flavor that just pushes this recipe over the edge. Its not completely necessary but its just not the same without it.
Cactus - This flavor brings back some of the wetness that the champagne takes away.
Champagne - This is what provides the majority of the effervescent feeling of the vape, it wouldn't be 7-up without the bubbles. It does have a tendency to dry out your recipe so be careful.
Citrus Punch/Lemon Lime - This is the major flavor profile of this beverage. Citrus punch also adds a little more of that bubbly feeling.
Koolada - It wouldn't be a refreshing citrus beverage without the ice!
Lemon Sicily - This is to boost the lemon flavor of the citrus punch since it seems to be a little lime heavy
Sour - This is used to add that lip smacking tartness the pop has naturally.
Sweetener - In order to taste like the commercial sugary pop that it is it has to have some added sweetener. It definitely isn't 7up without it, its just a lemon lime drink. May need to add more to taste, I don't normally use sweetener that much so I didn't add much.
1 week steep is recommended to smooth out the harshness that comes with all the citrus.
(recipe link below) I rewrote a Kilo's Kiberry Yogurt clone that's been floating around written by SteppedOutOfTheSMOG on Vaping Underground.
Can't stand Strawberry Kiss so I went with CAP Sweet Strawberry at 4% and upped FA Kiwi to 1.5%. Also made adjustments on the cream and yogurt base and honestly I think this turned out very good.
Tastes good after warm bath and vigorous shake, but between 3 days and a week this will come together nicely. May do some good with one drop of mts vape wizard per 30ml.

Peanut Butter Banana thing
- Banana Cream (<TFA>) @ 4%
- DX Peanut Butter (<TFA>) @ 8%
- DX Sweet Cream (<TFA>) @ 2%
- Marshmallow (<TFA>) @ 2%
- Ripe Banana (<TFA>) @ 2%
This took about 2 weeks to be very good. It's approaching a month now and I love it. My inspiration was Blue Dot Vapor King's Treat.
The ripe banana is a beast at first, but after some time it seems to be doing a great job of keeping a noticeable banana flavor there. At some point I might mix some ripe banana and banana cream together just to find out how they taste by themselves. In this recipe everything is playing together well to give just enough rich and creaminess without losing the banana flavor.
Sweet Cream and Peanut Butter was an attempt to re-create actual peanut butter flavor instead of the more peanut-y flavor of the TFA Peanut Butter.
Marshmallow is there less to taste like marshmallow, and more to add some sweetness without just adding sweetener.
Overall I'm happy with this one and plan to continue vaping it mixed this way.
