Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of August 12, 2016
submitted about 9 years ago by AutoModerator

Got a bunch of flavors but not sure how to make them work together? Post your list here, and our team of semi-professional mixologists will make suggestions for you! If you are impatient and want to do this on your own, here are a couple of good links:

  • /u/daath has a nice website that has this functionality, but you will need to register to make it work. It is not very intuitive but if you work with it you can input your flavors and get a list of recipes that you can make. IMO this is the better site if you have the patience to make it work for you. Edit2: to get this to work, first set up an account. Then add your flavors to the stash (under my page / my flavor stash). hit save. Then go back to the front page and click the link next to the search field, "Search by flavor stash". You can select a couple of your flavors and recipes that have those will pop up.
  • This site has a nice big search button with just what you're looking for.

Happy Mixing!

Hello! Right now I'm looking for a good peanut butter (or PB-related) recipe and some kind of strawberry yogurt or strawberries and cream type recipe. Here are my flavors:

All flavors listed are TFA. Copy/pasted from my Word doc:

Fruity: Apple, Banana, Black Cherry, Blackberry, Blueberry (Wild), Coconut Extra, Dragon Fruit, Grape, Green Apple, Key Lime, Kiwi Double, Lemonade, Mango, Orange Cream, Orange Mandarin, Passion Fruit, Peach (Juicy), Pineapple, Plum, Pomegranate, Strawberries and Cream, Strawberry, Strawberry (Ripe), Sweet Guava, Watermelon,

Other: Smooth, EM, Koolada, Super Sour, Cotton Candy, Whipped Cream, Champagne, Sour,

Minty: Peppermint, Spearmint, Wintergreen,

Dessert-y: Bavarian Cream, Brown Sugar Extra, Cake Batter, Caramel Candy, Caramel Cappuccino, Caramel (Original), Chocolate Caramel Nut, Dairy / Milk, Double Chocolate (Dark), Double Chocolate (Clear), DX Hazelnut (& reg Hazelnut), Dulce De Leche, French Vanilla, Fudge Brownie, Graham Cracker (Clear), Greek Yogurt, Honey, Hot Cocao, Maple, Marshmallow, Peanut Butter, Pecan, Pie Crust, Sweet Cream, Toasted Almond, Toasted Marshmallow, Vanilla Swirl, Vanilla Cupcake, White Chocolate,

EDIT: I have actually tried a Strawberry Yogurt recipe (I forget who made it), but it was something like: 4% Sweet Cream, 3% Vanilla Swirl, 6% Strawberry (Ripe), 1% Strawberry, 2 drops Dragonfruit, 1 drop Cotton Candy... I thought it was pretty good, but the flavor was weak to me. I tested some recipes with more flavorings, but they were not very good... so I'm looking for a stronger/better/alternative recipe.

There's an excellent recipe for a Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Sandwich by /u/Shrine399, but it uses a combination of TFA, CAP, and FA ingredients. I'll do my best to guess how you could make with some heavy substitutions and still have it taste good: Peanut Butter 5%, Graham Cracker Clear 2%, Vanilla Swirl 1.5%, Bavarian Cream 1.5%, Strawberry 5%, Grape (assuming this is Grape Juice and not Grape Candy) 4%. This might benefit from some of your Pie Crust instead of all or part of the Graham Cracker but I'm not sure how much of that to use.

Hope I'm not too late! This is what I've got:

CAP:

Butter Cream

Graham Cracker v2

Harvest Berry

New York Cheesecake v2

Sweet Cream

Sweet Strawberry

TFA:

Apple

Banana Cream

Bavarian Cream

Blueberry Extra

Cheesecake Graham Crust

Dragonfruit

Meringue

Strawberry Ripe

I'm still rather new to this, but don't mind giving more challenging recipes a go!

Thanks!

Harry's Bearded Smooth 05

CAP Butter Cream 2% CAP NY Cheesecake 5% CAP Sweet Cream 3% CAP Sweet Strawberry 8.5% CAP Vanilla Custard 2%

That's my favorite strawberries and cream.. Only flavor you're missing is CAP Vanilla Custard, but I would try subbing TFA's at the same percentage because it isn't very present anyway so it won't make any difference. The CAP v2's will work in v1's place just fine IME. Might need to steep just a tad longer, but I doubt it because this is shake and vape stuff here. Really sweet strawberry with a light milk. Delicious! (Dropping NYCC to 4% is what I do nowadays)

I've actually made this one already, it's quite nice! Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

You could make variations of Bombies and cream clone (Banana cream and dragonfruit and strawberry (not ripe OR sweet, too my knowledge) but sweet might work? Anyways banana cream is probably my #1 of all flavours.

Posted a few times in this subreddit for starting points, but my first order is soon to arrive.

My first juice I want to mix is a caramel apple and a strapple

I'm getting red touch (strawberry) Fuji apple, and caramel. All from flavour art.

Planning on going with a 70/30 vg/pg blend at ~6 mg/ml for nic strength. What would be the best ratio to start out with trying?

I really like this caramel apple http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/180182/Casino+Pier+by+%255B+ENYAWREKLAW+%255D

Maybe try that ratio, 4% fuji and 3% caramel. Or even half that and work from there. I can't comment on the strawberry but just do small samples before making big bottles.

Hey guys! This is my first go at DIY and i've definitely committed to the switch after much research. My first order has the following (all of this is going into a 70/30 vg/pg 3mg nic base since that's what I like)

  • Fuji Apple by FlavourArt
  • Fresh Cream by FlavourArt
  • Nonna's Cake by FlavourArt
  • Forest Mix by FlavourArt
  • Red Touch (Strawberry) by FlavourArt
  • Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso) by FlavourArt
  • Peach by FlavourArt
  • Vienna Cream by FlavourArt
  • Cookie by FlavourArt
  • Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) by FlavourArt
  • Yogurt by FlavourArt
  • Marshmallow by FlavourArt
  • Almond by FlavourArt
  • Maple Syrup by FlavourAr
  • Vanilla Custard by Capella Flavor Drops v1

I intend to try each of these solo and make personal notes on the flavors. I'd love to try out some of your own creations - let me know if I have the goods to make something special ;) Happy mixing!

Trying them out solo and making good notes is essential getting good at mixing your own creations. Good on you for planning to do that. I would even recommend trying them each at various %s as that will help you get an idea of the range of your flavors.

There are some good simple all-FlavourArt things you could make with that collection, such as Mixed Berry Milk: 3% Forest Mix, 2% Vienna Cream, 1% Fresh Cream. Strapple: 4% FA Strawberry, 2% Fuji. Almond Cookie and Cream: 2% Almond, 2% Cookie, 2% Vienna Cream, 1% Fresh Cream. I recommend a longish (2 weeks or so) steep on anything with Vienna Cream in it, btw.

CAP Vanilla Custard is a wonderful, versatile ingredient. It would literally taste good mixed with any one of your other ingredients. If you need a break from single-flavor testing, try mixing two-flavor "recipes" by adding an appropriate % (will vary from one ingredient to another - look on this sub, or on All The Flavors, or less reliably on ELR - or you could hit up the New Mixer's Questions thread with "what is a good range for single-flavor testing this flavor?" The same method you'll use for determining which levels to single-flavor test at; or ideally you'll have already single-flavor tested them and know). Once you figure out one way or another a good % to use, add that to 5% CAP Vanilla Custard for a delicious two-ingredient custard. Eventually you'll come across flavors that won't work with, but I don't think there are any in your current collection.

And here's one last recipe:

CAP Vanilla Custard 6%

FA Cream Fresh 1%

FA Cookie 1%

FA Yogurt 1%

FA Madagascar 0.5%

I haven't mixed that exact recipe but I can almost guarantee it will taste yummy. You can also play with it easily, adjusting percentages by as much as halving or doubling (Edit: Except VC, don't double the VC), and subbing in ingredients such as Vienna Cream or Marshmallow for the Fresh Cream, Nonna's Cake or Almond for the Cookie, one of your fruit flavors for the Yogurt, or Dark Bean or Maple Syrup for the Madagascar. Have fun and make it your own. Happy mixing!

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thoughtful response. I'm happy you confirmed my thoughts on the CAP vanillia custard - custard is my fav flavor and this one was highly recommended. I can't wait try it next week :)

You have the stuff to make a number of beloved recipes. What have you mixed up so far, anything that's come close leaving you barefoot?

Tried Bronuts, did not like. Did not like mustard milk, Loved Bombies nana cream clone. Some cereal clones have been ok. Would love a good recipe that highlights the banana cream or coconut though.

Thanks :)

Fizzmustard's Nana Cream Clone is probably the best use of Banana Cream. Not that it's terrible, because there are very good uses for it, but you're going to be hard-pressed to find a recipe that both highlights the TFA Coconut Extra and is wonderful, because it tastes like suntan lotion in all but the smallest amounts. However, you can make an adapted version of my Snake Eyes Remix that uses both: LA Banana Cream 5%, TFA Bavarian Cream 5%, CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl 2%, TFA Coconut Extra 0.5%.

You can also try making a kind of Banana Milkshake: LA Banana Cream 6%, FA Cream Fresh 2%, FA Meringue 1%, TFA Sweet Cream 1%.

Or Banana Pudding with Vanilla Wafers: LA Banana Cream 6%, FA Meringue 1%, CAP Sugar Cookie 1%, TFA Vanilla Swirl 1%.

Your best bet though, might be to blow your own socks of by experimenting with the Nana Cream Clone. Start small, just add 0.5% to 1% of whatever flavor interests you into the mix, and observe how it changes the profile without ruining it. You might make something you like better than the Nana Cream Clone.

Have you tried making Cinapple Fritter yet?https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/3jt020/a_joyous_occasion_perfected_my_apple_fritter/

If you read the modifications and tweaks, it says, "No FLV Rich Cinnamon? Increase CAP CDS by 1-2%." That worked for me.

I only have a few flavors so far.

TFA- Raspberry (sweet), Blueberry (Extra), Cheesecake (Graham Crust), Cinnamon, Green Apple

Flavor West- Pie Crust

LorAnn- Tart and Sour

Any ideas? Probably gonna get some Juicy Peach and DX Banana Cream too soon...

2 points
 
by Zakinoabout 9 years ago

I would definitely recommend getting some creams. Raspberry generally has an alcohol taste to it imo. But it looks like you have a good base for a pie set of flavors. Brown sugar is also a good idea to get for bakery flavors

Oooo, ok. I liked the raspberry on its own somewhat, but was really good mixed with cheesecake. Maybe I'll try it with the banana
