Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of January 27, 2017
submitted over 8 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!

Hey all, so far I'm new to this, have these flavors steeping individually at about 4% 50/50 ratio to see how they are on there own, but any "mix" suggestions please offer them to experiment with, I'm a custard fiend though.

Following is all FlavourArt, but if you think something goes well I will be ordering another batch of flavors so please suggest! Custard, Vanilla bourbon, Banana, Custard Pi 3.14

I agree with /u/Civinsko - you could mix those two to four of those flavors in any combination you like, as long as you keep the percentages between 0.5% and 3% each it's going to taste alright, just decide which ones you want to be dominate and which ones you want to be accents and mix them up.

Based on what you already have, you might want to look into getting the rest of the ingredients for one of these recipes:

Dinner Lady Lemon Tart Remix

Basketcase

RIP Harambe

Detox

Fruit Sex

A Better Lemon Meringue

And, after making them, continue to do your single-flavor testing and then tweak them to fit your own preferences or use them to create something original.

Awesome, will be giving some new ones a go, but wanted to get the basics of mixing right ( doing it by weight), so think I just need to find my ratio.

I love you, i have the ingredients for most of these. yay random recipes! One exceptin: no lemon meringue pie concentrate, how would you do one from scratch?

3 points
 
by ID10-Tover 8 years ago

No FW Lemon Meringue Pie concentrate for Dinner Lady or CAP Lemon Meringue Pie for the Better Lemon Meringue? I'd probably try turning the only HiC recipe that doesn't leave a ton of room for improvement into a flavor base and use that.

HiC's Lemon Meringue Pie

  • 4% FA Lemon Sicily

  • 2% FA Custard

  • 1% FA Meringue

  • 0.5% FA Fresh Cream

  • 0.5% FA Apple Pie

  • 0.5% FA Cookie

  • 0.5% FA Lime Cold-Pressed

HiC says you can also add 1% Vienna Cream to make this extra rich but I think 1% TFA Toasted Marshmallow would be a much better addition.

Edit: I love you too.

Many thanks chaps! Ill look into those other flavors, I thought when I started this would be a " just flavors I like" to make, but its working out so cheap..I figured I might as well try others, feels like a mini science experiment.

by Civinskoover 8 years ago

If you like Apple i don't think you can go wrong with FA Fuji, maybe try getting some of that.

Also i think you can mix everything you have in any way you want and still get a good result haha

Thanks, I kinda figured that, I guess its about playing with ratios to see what works for me.

by Philosaphuckerover 8 years agoWinner: Best Recipe of 2016 - Grack Juice

I would try using LA Watermelon as a base flavor. I like grape, so I shall call it Grap-on:
LA Watermelon - 4%
INW Cactus - 0.3%
INW Grape - 1.5%
TFA Dragonfruit - 0.75%
FA Fuji - 1.5%

oi so i just halfway moved all my shit out the house. didnt bring any aged ejuice though :/

so im thinking a vanilla caramel combo would be delicious shake n vape

heres what im thinking

  • 1% FLV Caramel and
  • 1-2% TFA Vanilla Swirl
  • 50/50 for subohm dripping

ive actually never used tfa vanilla swirl over 1%. Would 2% TFA van swirl present any off flavors for shake n vape or should i just go 1%

fuck it im going 1% i can add another if needed. disregard this message ill report back in like a day.

NEW QUESTION what accents could I use to kikit tf off? im thinking a lil sprinkle sprankle of FLV rich cinnamon

sidenote DAE write more about mixing than actually mixing? No just me ? ok nvmnd

I've made juice with 2% Vanilla Swirl and not even been able to taste it until it steeps for a week. I think you're good on the 2% and could probably even go up to 4%. Please report back.

I'd put some kind of fruit in there. Something that pairs well with caramel, like apple or pear.

Way too much talking, not nearly enough mixing.

by bobbysavageover 8 years agoResident Tobacco Specialist

see thats the thing im tryna get a like a basic no tobacco no fruit no cream simple mix

i went with 2% flv caramel / 2% van swirl

wasnt great snv but my palate mightve been dirty its tasting better now maybe some DX peanut butter for teh pyrazines

its tastin better now maybe 0.5% flv caramel wldve been better i think the 2% caramel needs time to chill

ive never had holy vanilla by DIYFS maybe next order

ima try 3% then 4% van swirl maybe tomorrow on a fresh palate im fuckin drunk homie real talk

edit n maybe some fa caramel for the em sweetness

by bobbysavageover 8 years agoResident Tobacco Specialist

ok reporting back

2% of each was pretty fgood after 12-24 hrs in 50/50

i actually have used 3-4% van sworl in botboys awesome apple pie but never as a main note.

ERmmmmm

right now my gf and i both agree the recipe is good but think it could use more vanilla. Overall its a nice break from the heavy creams, excessively volatile fruits, and complex/delicate tobacco nets.

Also I smell like caramel sauce almost mapley from over drips soooo thats not a drawback compared to ashtray cig scent that I used to rock

Obviously Mustard Milk, if you haven't already: 6% TFA Strawberry, 8% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

Also try this double vanilla custard: 6% CAP Vanilla Custard, 3% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, 2% TFA Bavarian Cream, 1% TFA Graham Cracker Clear, 0.75% CAP NY Cheesecake.

And this strawberry cheesecake: 6% CAP NY Cheesecake, 2% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, 1.5% TFA Graham Cracker Clear, 4% TFA Strawberry Ripe, 2% CAP Sweet Strawberry.

Personally I'm a fan of the Honey Peary clone:

TFA Pear - 6%

TFA Strawberry - 5%

TFA Honeydew - 3%

Or the snake oil clone:

TFA Pear - 5%

FA Pear - 1%

FW Bavarian Cream - 5%

TFA Coconut Extra - 1.5% (or less, depending on your tolerance to Coconut, could take it down to 0.5% or 1%)

I did all the newb stuff. new scale, 27 flavors from "my first order flavors", excellent nic. made some 15ml this last weekend.

One was Mustard Milk, the other was my ego thinking I could freehand a cool strawberry apple watermelon. My freehand was awful, the mustard milk was just ok, but not really.

I need a shake and vape to raise my spirits!

  • Bavarian Cream (TPA)

  • Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA)
  • Cool Mint (Cap)
  • Cream Fresh (FA)
  • DX Marshmallow (TPA)

You could make something like this, but substitute the FA Strawberry with either TFA Strawberry or CAP Sweet Strawberry. Read the notes in that recipe and you can see /u/ID10-T suggests adding INW Cactus and/or FA Kiwi to change things up a bit. I'll let him chime in on the percentages of those two additions and maybe he can also help on which strawberry would be best to substitute FA Strawberry with.

Thank You!! I will set forth and mix! I have to toughen up a bit and realize I'm going to fail quite a few times.

As long as you learn something from your failures, there's nothing wrong with failing. We have all failed, but we keep going because it's fun, kinda cheaper, a way to be artistic, and extremely rewarding. Good luck, brotha!

Strap-On, as /u/goldfish18 suggested.

Try substituting 3% CAP Sweet Strawberry, 4% TFA Strawberry, or 5% Strawberry Ripe for the FA Strawberry. I'd make small batches of each and see which one you prefer.

You could also try substituting 0.25% Cactus for the strawberry for a juicy watermelon-apple, 2% Forest Fruit for a darker fruit salad, 3% FA Kiwi for a tarter fruit blend.

Koolada shouldn't be a bad addition to any of those suggestions, if you keep in low, like 0.25%, just to cool it off a bit.

Additionally, one of my favorite shake and vapes used to just be 3% FA Fuji Apple. All by itself. Try that. Try all of your flavors all by themselves, actually, so you can find out which ones you like, which ones you don't like, how strong they are, and make informed decisions when next time you start creating your own.

I'm sorry you didn't like Mustard Milk. Did it taste peppery to you? Or just bleh?

Thank you for the suggestions!! I'm sampling these with an almost never used RDA and I guess there wasn't enough juice on there to get a good taste of Mustard Milk. After 3 days of steep and very liberal drops it tastes much better. My creation however I wont touch for awhile, I think i wrecked my palate with that shit.

How do you guys go about trying the individual flavors? I have about a dozen or so 15ml dropper bottles. Do i just set a flavor at around 3-5% and mix at my 70VG/30PG ..say in 10ml batches? try them..steep for a bit..try again..make notes and then trash?

Again, I appreciate yours and "The Champs" help with this. I hope I can someday drop a great recipe on you guys!

I get a bunch (I mean like 100 at a time) little 10ml plastic bottles andusually (people say this is overboard) mix each new flavor a three different percents to get an idea of their range. Not necessarily 3 to 5%, it depends on the flavor. I look to see what others are using them at, or go by the brand, and then if I can't find anything, just guess on the first bottle and go from there. Try them, steep for a bit, make notes, try them again, make more notes, just like you said. I think most people just mix them at one average-range strength percent for testing.

> someday drop a great recipe on you guys

I don't know about /u/goldfish18's motivation, he might have some altruistic nonsense going on or be paying it backward or forward or whatever, he might just get off on advising people, but for me, that's the whole point of helping right there. One of the new mixers I give a hand to today is going to create the best recipe I've ever tasted tomorrow. It's an entirely selfish act to help people get started doing this.

I recently bought some FA Liquid Amber to give Tobacco-Berry-Mixes a new shot. I mixed something together today and will give it a week to steep, but I'm curious about any suggestions you might have:

PG/VG @ 50:50 with 0nic
Black Currant (FA) @ 1%
RY4 (FA) @ 4%
Liquid Amber (FA) @ 4%
Caramel Original (TPA) @ 1.5%

I'm pretty sure I'm overdoing Liquid Amber here. It could use some more fruity/berry notes (I'm thinking Forrest Mix, maybe a drop of Apple (TPA/FA)). I was also thinking to replace RY4 (FA) with RY4 Double (TPA) and maybe get rid of the Caramel Original.
Looking forward to your ideas :)

by ID10-Tover 8 years agoWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

I don't do much with tobacco, even RY4s, so I hope someone else with more expertise pops in, but it does look like you've gone way overboard with the Liquid Amber. Forest Fruit and/or a very small amount of apple does sound like a good idea.

Hello! I feel like my vaping tastes have maybe "matured" a little so I went with some bold flavors with this order. This is my first time mixing with tobacco so I'm pumped.

FA Black Fire

FA Vanilla Bourbon

FA Burley

FA Catalan Cream

FA Fresh Cream

FA Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso)

FA Desert Ship Blend

FA Black Cherry

FA Marzipan

FA Strawberry

FA Cola

FA Clove

I was reading these flavor notes. 4% cola and 2% black cherry is on there. Basically, I'll be making some tobacco mixes and a coffee mix or two. Thanks!

Squinted to read this thinking it was a real username for a sec ha!

I don't mix much with FA tobaccos although I have a bunch of them.

/u/LimeDrive, if you feel like going deeper at some point, he's an article that might point you in the right direction.

Dude I've never tried FA dark bean.

I'm pretty sure most of the coffee Flavors use coffee furanone

I'm sick of that shit but it works. If it's black af good chance it's the same flavorant

Try

  • 0.5% dark bean and
  • 0.5% desert ship

Is dark bean dark AF?

I think the name inpmplies that bit fuck if I know.

My flavors haven't arrived yet but looking up pics it looks to be a medium brown color. Tobacco and coffee sounds awesome!

I think you can use real coffee if you're sick of the flavorings lol

by bobbysavageover 8 years agoResident Tobacco Specialist

yea those flavors [tobacco/coffee/Acetyl P] can hit the spot IMO.

Ive never fukt with Desert Ship/coffee combo it could be good though (in theory)

if that doesnt work try like

0.5% burley in it's place.

>PS there is no flavor review for FA burley so if you could do it I love you long time.

>PPS: like all my recipes those are meant for 50/50. Like all my theories: if those dont come out great - my bad.

>PPPS(?) FA tiramisu/booster is Coffee furanone and Acetyl P. I prefer em in seperate concentrates so i can custom tailor the ratio. If you have it already tho you can get an idea of how well the two can work together
