Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of March 10, 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!

I'll go first. I ordered flavors to make my first few juices. Here's what I have:

TFA - Ripe Strawberry

CAP - Sweet Strawberry

TFA - Dragonfruit

FW - Beetle Juice

CAP - Golden Pineapple

INW - Pineapple

INW - Grape

FW - Grape Soda

FW - Kiwi

TFA - Key Lime

CAP - Lemon Lime

FW - Pink Champagne

TFA - Malted Milk

FA - Fresh Cream

FA - Vienna Cream

TFA - Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

TFA - Koolada

I've made Philosopher's Milk, Sprite Remix, and a homebrew grape soda (4% Grape Soda, 2% Grape, 2% Pink Champagne, 1% Koolada) and I'm looking for something else to try and what flavors to get next for something fun.

i provide no flavors stash. few days later i going to order a new bunch of flavors, so i more looking for advise. mb someone share my tastes, likes/dislikes.

i tried and don't like: girl with the dragon cheescake (too many cheescake. recipe is good, but not for me. mb i just don't like Cheesecake Graham Crust flavour), strawberry milk, ripe dragon cream, mother of dragons' milk, dragon stone , mother of god's milk (most of these dragon/strawberry milks creams not in my taste. these recipes are good. i understand that, but not for me.)

i tried it, acceptable, but wouldn't mix it again: bombies nana cream (i have feeling this recipe miss something. i don't feel it complete. some lack of flavours brightness. tried without citric acid), custard king (i don't know why, but each time i fill in my tank with this juice i like it, but always want to replace this juice with something else), cinnamon roll apple danish (too much cinnamon. i like cinnamon, but in this recipe it overpovers almost everything here. will try to make it later by with lower % than in original recipe), apple-bacco (too many tobacco)

things i like: fruit roll-up (good frutty juice, not ideal, but would mix time to time), coops kiwi bourbon (not all day vape, but this thing is really addictive), slimy man yogurt (it's a god bless for me. it's the first yughurt recipe i tried and i'm in love with it), mango tango (it's exotic recipe, but can be all day vape. really enjoying it), strawberry lemonade restaurant style (good enough, cracked my tank, would vape it again agter getting new tank from Chinees), strawberry overdose clone (heavy, sweet, but good taste), cinapple fritter (again - too many cinnamon, will try to increase apple and decrease cinnamon), glass apple (not perfect for me, but yammy), kanzi clone (one of recipes i would vape on regular basis)

trying to find something where strawberry/apple goes in pair with light notes of tobacco, or recipe which tastes as blue lagoon cocktail, some juicy cherry recipe (tried only single flavour of one russian brand, but it was awful) or any good fruit based recipes. strawberry, peach, kiwi, cherry, apple are one of my favorite flavours.

i switched from single flavour mixing to recipies mixing mb ~1.5 months ago. not so experienced for trying to mix something new, but hope to receive some advices about already existing recipes. thanks

It sounds like you want to like cinnamon juices but are finding the existing ones just too cinnamony. Maybe you would enjoy one with a much lighter cinnamon note such as this Snake Eyes Remix or Strabismal Snake - or a number of other recipes from this list. There are some strawberry/apple with light tobacco notes recipes on that list, like what you're looking for.

You might also enjoy Philosopher's Milk, Lime Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Kiwi, or Falling Star.

From what I read DX Bavarian cream needs a craaazy long steep. Not sure where I read it, but there were a few people mentioning it

Just a heads up, I had been mixing with the DX Bavarian cream since I began mixing, just got a bottle of regular Bavarian cream. Holy shit. It's so much better, the dx has a very nasty underlining taste thats from butyric acid, almost tastes like vomit. Do yourself a favor and get a bottle of the regular when you can and taste the difference for yourself

Try a small batch of this very simple Strawberry & Cream: 6% Strawberry Ripe, 3% Sweet Strawberry, 5% Bavarian Cream.

If you find that to be something you enjoy, then trying playing with it in subsequent batches, like, finding out how it tastes if you add, say 1% Mango, Dragonfruit, Marshmallow, Key Lime, Peach, Raspberry Sweet, Fuji, or Meringue.

2 points
 
by Taipan66over 8 years ago

Wow, thank you, that sounds delicious, mixing that up now. Probably needs a long steep I am guessing?

I might mix up a second smaller batch with 1.5% Juicy Lemon as I am at a loss as to how to use this with what I have got, maybe reduce the vanilla custard by 1-2% to compensate?

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

You can always try it after an overnight steep and just see, but yeah, it'll just keep getting better for about two weeks if you leave it alone.

Try removing the Yellow Cake and FLV Cream and adding 1.5% Juicy Lemon to a second, smaller batch.

FA Soho

FA MTS Vape Wizard

I'm getting more flavors next month but any idea on using just these right now? Thanks

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

If this were my whole collection I'd probably just vape 8% Soho standalone until I got more flavors. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful than that.

2 points
 
by fackyuuover 8 years ago

haha no worries, my ADV is 10% Soho, bought the other flavors before I got more interested in mixing.

1 points
 
by the_real_benjiover 8 years ago

Fa Soho 4% Fa Virginia 1%

I haven't used fa Virginia yet, but Soho is sorta like ry4 in that it's more of a creamy dessert flavor than tobacco, and I believe fa Virginia is a more leafy tobacco, so use the Virginia to bring out the subtle tobacco flavor, and the Soho to round it out, and add some sweetness and creaminess.

TIA?... oh, "thanks in advance"... At my work that stands for transient ischemic attack and I thought maybe you needed medical attention.

Hi all. Love what you're doing here. I just got an order from Real Flavors. It's my 1st time ordering from them, I took advantage of their deal last week so I'm excited to try them out. I'm rather inexperienced in combining flavors so I basically copied someone else's list with no idea how I should combine them. I'd like to ask for your help. The flavors I have on hand are:

Real Flavors yumberry

Real Flavors sugar cookie

Real Flavors blue raz

Real Flavors cookies & cream

Real Flavors cake batter

Real Flavors condensed milk

Capella vanilla custard v1

TFA graham cracker clear

All PG based. Thank you.

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

Those Real Flavors all list a suggested % for use on them, right? on their website at least if not on the bottles?

2 points
 
by nota16erover 8 years ago

Oh, they do. Cool. Didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out. I love how you don't need a lot of this brand to get a good flavor from. Last night, i wound up mixing a 60ml witch's brew batch of what I think might be good. It turned out better than I thought it would. I'm going to make 250ml of this tonight. Anyways, while I've got you. Would you mind answering one question for me? The cookies and cream... would this be a good single flavor, or should I mix it with something? I left this flavor out of my brew since I wasn't sure if it would make or break my test batch. Thanks for your help.

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

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've not tried it. But I was going to recommend that you try ALL of them as single flavors first, probably at a couple of different %'s, and take some good notes. That'll give you a good familiarity of all these flavors individually and you'll know which ones you'll want to mix together and how much of them to use when you do.

Hey guys, I have

Mom&Pop Blueberry Cheesecake
CAP New York Cheesecake
FA Vanilla
CAP Sweet Cream

I mixed M&P Blueberry Cheesecake solo at 8% last time, it was a nice, mild blueberry taste, a bit too mild, I was thinking about mixing at 10% this time.

I didn't notice the cheesecake at all so I thought about adding CAP New York Cheesecake. I'd also like to add a hint of vanilla, but I am unsure about how much to add of either. thoughts?

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

I don't know anything about Mom & Pops but to start to get it a little cheesier, 2% CAP NY Cheesecake should help. Which FA Vanilla is that?

by sheggysheggyover 8 years ago

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it!

It's "Vanilla Classic"

Try 1% for that hint of vanilla

Ha! Should've just typed it out I guess, but that sounds awesome. Hopefully I'll get to mix some more tonight!
