Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of April 28, 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!

All flavors TFA unless noted otherwise

Banana Cream

Citrus Punch

DX Milk Chocolate

DX Peanut Butter

Kiwi Double

Koolada

Menthol - CAP

Strawberry

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Watermelon

If anyone has advice on mountain dew I'm still trying to get it right my first attempt at 10% citrus punch and 1% koolada didn't seem like enough flavor for me.

I'm also trying to get the VBIC in something properly I tried 8% strawberry and 4% VBIC but the flavor also felt off to me. Sorry for the vague descriptions I'm still trying to train my palate to notice specifics.

What kind of setup you running to test it?

Maybe try half that amount of citrus punch and see how it is.

out of 160+ flavors I only have one that id use at or over 10% usually for TFA 3-5% is good for me and people who try my mixes

If you wanted to make mustard milk the VBIC should be at 6%. Did you steep it at all?

by beatenangelsover 8 years ago

Haha I didn't even know that was a thing I was just throwing stuff together and seeing what happened. I'll try the actual formula. To answer, I tried it initially than again 1 week later.

Here's a Mountain Dew Recipe. I know you're lacking many of the things to make it, but Mountain Dew is hard.

You know what isn't hard? Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Try mixing simple two-ingredient pairings with it at 6% with 4% Kiwi Double, 4% Banana Cream, 5% Citrus Punch, 5% Peanut Butter, 2% Milk Chocolate.

I attempting to create an authentic TFA blackberry I've tried by itself at 4% and it's not what im looking for. I have other fruits as well as creams I also have sweetener and ethyl maltol. Any help with percentages would be greatly appreciated. I have...

TFA- SB ripe and Strawberry TFA-raspberry sweet INW-raspberry-blueberry-mango-wild strawberry TFA-juicy peach- blueberry extra-apple- pear and dragonfruit. TFA-fresh cream and sweet cream FA-fresh cream and fuji

These are the flavors I believe would help if at all

Answered in the new Mixer's Thread. Now that you know to use TFA Blackberry at 1% or less, I'm interested to hear what you try and what you think of what you try. If it's still not right, maybe we can help fix it.

I used labrats advice I havent tested it yet I will definitely let you know; is there a way to search or add you as a contact on here? Or I can just come back here. The issue I'm running into right now I I'm just getting up and running finally understanding profile and layering but I need so much more ingredients I need to do a mass order I'm keeping a growing list.

Just come back here.

You don't need more ingredients to make perfectly good juice that's even better than a lot of the juice you can buy. You probably do need them to make really great juice, or juice that tastes exactly the way you want it to taste, though.

Hi all.

I won a waffle a while ago and received the following concentrates as a prize.

Lemon 2 FLAVOR APPRENTICE Fuji Apple FLAVOUR ART Red Apple FLAVOR WEST Shisha Vanilla 2 INAWERA Papaya FLAVOR ART Elephant ear REAL FLAVORS Kiwi FLAVOR ART Butter Cream CAPELLA Peanut Brittle REAL FLAVORS Key lime pie FLAVOR APPRENTICE Cheesecake graham crust FLAVOR APPRENTICE Sweet Strawberry CAPELLA Apricot FLAVOUR ART Pancake REAL FLAVORS Condensed milk REAL FLAVORS French vanilla v2 CAPELLA Meringue FLAVOUR ART

I have managed to make a simple juice using the cheesecake and sweet strawberry for a strawberry cheesecake. So just wondering if there are any other combos i could make using two concentrates. Any ideas/suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Would be great with a creamy note added in like Butter Cream or Cheesecake! If you did that, I would personally make the cheesecake the main flavor and keep the ratio of strawberry:kiwi the same but reduce them--- something like
 
Cheesecake GC 4.0
Strawberry 3.0
Kiwi 0.75
 
Then you could add meringue if you wanted it to be super sweet. The meringue is mostly used for that reason--- making mixes sweeter without using something flavorless and 1-dimensional like Sucralose (CAP Super Sweet etc). Better to use something with a little flavor and mouth feel to serve dual purposes. Marshmallow is used the same way.
 
Edit- I noticed that you have both Flavour Art and Flavor Apprentice ingredients. Just a heads up, TFA and TPA = The Flavor/Perfumer's Apprentice (they are the exact same flavorings whether TPA or TFA is listed). FA = Flavour Art. These are the standard abbreviations. I'm letting you know because your list didn't include "THE" Flavor Apprentice which might have you confused.

There are several other good sounding combinations there, including some solid 3-4+ ingredient ones. Apricot cheesecake? Yum. Unfortunately the ones I can see, I'm not really familiar enough with one ingredient to recommend the percentages. With that said, I would recommend creating an account on e-liquid-recipes.com and adding these flavors to your inventory. Then you can search for recipes using any combination of the flavors you already own. There are also a few flavors I would highly recommend picking up because they would significantly increase the number of recipes you could make. CAP Vanilla Custard v1, LA Banana Cream, pretty much any Yellow Cake, TPA Double RY4, acetyl pyrazine and menthol if you like cool vapes. By the way, where are the DIY waffles? I hate Facebook but I do check a few groups regularly, including Vape-n-Chill Waffles but I haven't seen any DIY related ones yet. Good luck--- you've got a nice set of flavorings there and you'll have dirt cheap juice for a long time whether you buy more flavorings or not. Share some with a friend! Feels good man =)

Help me out here. What have you already made and what did you like/not like? Is there an ingredient here that you especially enjoy and want to use more of? Is there a flavor that you want to enjoy but haven't figured out how to use yet? Is there one you didn't like and want to avoid? Knowing a little bit more about you and what you prefer would make it much easier to suggest something that you're more likely to enjoy.

Ive made all the god milks, loved em. Buncha custards, but am open to more suggestions on that, or a good caramel custard if you know one. Made some cereals, i think im close on my special k recipe. Id love more uses for pistachio, ry4 and ry4 asian, and yes, ive made pistachio ry4, its killer. I hate this espresso it literally stained one of my rdas and mucked up any other recipes i made until i cleaned my syringes really really good.

Try a small batch of my Simple Sugar Cookie. If you enjoy it but it feels like it's missing something, good, that's kind of the point. It's meant to be a versatile mix that shows how incredibly easy it is to make decent juice but also an opportunity to easily customize something to fit your tastes. Make it again with something added to it, just whatever sounds good to you. Some suggestions based on what you've enjoyed include:

2% Bavarian Cream

2% Vanilla Swirl

1% TFA Meringue + 1% TFA Marshmallow

1% TFA Meringue + 2% CAP Cereal 27

1.75% TFA Pistachio + 2.25% TFA RY4 Double

2% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust

0.5% TFA Brown Sugar + 0.25% Acetyl Pyrazine

2% TFA Caramel Original + 1% FW Butterscotch

1.5% each FW Butt Pecan + Butt Rip

1.5% each Butt Rip + Butterscotch

2% Fw graham cracker

3% FW Rice krispy treat

3% FW Dulce De Leche

you think steeping this would help, or is more of a shake and vape?

because mixing it up, I thought for sure the banana was going to overpower the rest, but the weird thing is it was the apricot that over powered the rest

so im wondering if I should try mixing it again and letting it steep, or try mixing it again and just lowering the apricot to somewhere around 0.5~1%

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

It's meant to be apricot-forward, that is a much bolder flavor than the others, but if you'd rather taste more of the banana, try it again with, as you suggested, about 0.75% apricot. Steeping will make it smoother and give it a thicker, creamier mouthfeel but won't change the apricot's dominance.

I have a decent bit of flavors to work with: TFA Bavarian Cream, TFA Caramel Original, TFA Graham Cracker, TFA Sweet Cream, TFA Marshmallow, TFA Cheesecake (Graham Crust), TFA Strawberry Ripe, TFA Vanilla Custard, TFA Gummy Candy, TFA Ethyl Maltol, TFA Brown Sugar, TFA Whipped Cream, TFA Belgian Waffle, TFA Koolada, FA Bilberry, FA Cookie, FA Gin, FA Aurora, FW Blueberry, FW Blue Raspberry, FW Green Goblin, CAP Super Sweet, CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl, CAP Cola, LA Cream Cheese Icing,

Recipes I've made:

I've made a cinnamon bun recipe that had 5% TFA bavarian cream, 5% CAP CDS, 2% LA Cream cheese icing, 2% TFA caramel original, 3% graham cracker, and 2% sweet cream that turned out awesome after a week of steeping. Not so great as a shake and vape.

I've tried making an Eggo blueberry waffle using 1% FA Bilberry, 6% FW Blueberry, 1% TFA Sweet cream, 6% TFA Belgian waffle, 1% TFA whipped cream, 1% FA cookie, and 0.5% TFA brown sugar. After about a week of steeping it still isn't very good. Not sure what I could do with the recipe but it tastes very off and nothing like a blueberry waffle.

I've tried Green Goblin alone and with 1% of Super Sweet. Tastes great either way. Would like to know if it can be mixed with other ingredients though. I've also tried mixing it with 2% FA Gin and 4% FA Aurora, and 0.5% Koolada and the gin completely overpowers everything. Would like to try make a gin and tonic though.

I've done cola gummy and strawberry gummy using 4% TPA Gummy Candy, and 5% CAP Cola/5% Strawberry Ripe. Both are great to shake and vape.

I've also done a strawberry cheesecake using 4% TPA Bavarian cream, 5% TPA cheesecake graham, 10% TPA strawberry ripe, 4% TPA sweet cream, and 3% TPA vanilla custard. Great as a shake and vape, haven't tried steeping.

And that's about all I've made. Strawberry Ripe has been my favorite flavor to work with. Would like to know what else could go with it, as well as what other flavors I could buy that go well with it. The TFA Gummy Candy is also a great flavor I'd like to use more of.

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

Flavors to buy that go with Strawberry Ripe: TFA Strawberry (and also pretty much any other strawberry such as CAP Sweet Strawberry, JF Sweet Strawberry, INW Shisha Strawberry, FA Strawberry - Strawberry Ripe makes such a better strawberry when combined with another strawberry flavor), TFA Dragonfruit, and TFA Vanilla Swirl. You could make some great recipes if you had TFA Strawberry, TFA Dragonfruit, and TFA Vanilla Swirl.

Flavors to buy to go with TFA Gummy Candy: TFA Dragonfruit and either INW Pineapple, TFA Pineapple, or CAP Golden Pineapple - you can make a white gummy bear.

Things you can try without buying more flavors: Try adding 2% TFA Marshmallow to your strawberry and cola gummies. Even better: add 1.5% TFA Whipped Cream instead, but let that steep for two weeks before you even bother trying it.

Try a cool blue gummy: 4% FW Blueberry, 3% TFA Gummy Candy, 0.25% Koolada. Again, 1.5% TFA Whipped Cream would be an excellent addition to this, but not as a shake and vape.

Thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate it. I've added dragonfruit, vanilla swirl, and pineapple to my next order. Any suggested recipes with the additions of those? I've also spent a little bit more time with the gin and tonic and the store-bought juice I'm trying to clone and decided it needs more citrus/lemon (less lime more lemon, Aurora works in the recipe but heavy on the lime on its own) and mint/spearmint type flavor. I've decided on trying TFA creme de menthe but having a hard time choosing which lemon to try. I need something more of a juicy and sweet lemon rather than a tart zesty lemon. Any suggestions?

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

With Dragonfruit and Vanilla Swirl you can make: Mother of Dragons' Milk, God Milk, and Mother of God's Milk, for starters. But also many other things because those are versatile flavors.

Which Pineapple did you get?

If you can, get FE Lemon from ECX. Otherwise, try LA Lemonade. Either of those are going to be juicier and sweeter than other lemons.

TFA - Belgian Waffle TFA - Brown Sugar Extra TFA - Graham Cracker Clear TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust) TFA - Pie Crust TFA - Juicy Peach TFA - Mango TFA - Watermelon Candy TFA - Watermelon TFA - Strawberry (Ripe) TFA - Strawberry TFA - Key Lime TFA - Bovarian Cream TFA - Vanilla Swirl CAP - Vanilla Custard v1 CAP - Butter Cream Cap - Horchata CAP - Churro CAP - Waffle CAP - Sweet Strawberry INW - Cactus FA - Coconut FA - Cream Fresh FA - SOHO FW - Yellow Cake FW - Butter Pecan FLV - Boysenberry PRL - Boysenberry Preserves

This is my first order, I want to try to recreate a few a few simple flavors I have enjoyed from my B&M, one is a tigers blood that they call jaguar blood, watermelon, strawberry, and a tad of coconut, I just dont know what would be the right percentages to start with. Also, it is a very "wet" vape from them, super juicy and its the only flavor I have had that tastes like that so I was thinking it was cactus in there after reading and researching flavors.

I got boysenberry and boysenberry preserves to hopefully make a boysenberry pie, and Knotts berry farm boysenberry punc, would love any suggestions on a recipe for something like that.

My B&M also has a tobacco flavor that I love that is described by them as horchata and pecan custard with a cigar, I wanted to make something similar so I got what I felt was appropriate ingredients would for someone to give me a recipe for something like that. I have also been enjoying a mango and peaches from my B&M that is bright and sweet and juicy, I would love something like that as well. I would also like to make something like a peach cobbler and a key lime pie. I should have just found recipes that sound good and bought flavors aftr that but I jumped the gun befor I did that, so any recipes like I described that would be useful for my flavors would be much appreciated, thanks!

I'll help where I can. These are all starting places, you'll want to make small batches and tweak them to your tastes.

Tiger's Blood - 8% TFA Strawberry, 4% TFA Watermelon, 1.5% FA Coconut, 0.25% INW Cactus. However, this would be better if you had TFA Coconut. It will also need a little steeping time.

Boysenberry Pie - 1.5% FLV Boysenberry, 2% PRL Boysenberry Preserves, 4% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, 3% TFA Bavarian Cream.

Horchata Pecan Custard Cigar: You got everything but the tobacco. Soho is a long way from a cigar flavor. Try FLV Red Burley with just a touch of FA Black Fire.

Peach Mango: You need another mango for Bright & Juicy. Almost any other mango will do, but I highly recommend FLV Mango. Many people are very sensitive to the Linalool in TFA Juicy Peach to the point they find it unvapeable. Try a small single-flavor test of it at 5% and make sure you don't also need a new peach. If you enjoy that, you can mix up this while you wait for a better mango: 6% TFA Mango + 4% Juicy Peach.

Peach Cobbler - 0.75% TFA Pie Crust, 3% TFA Bavarian Cream, 0.5% FW Yellow Cake, 1.5% CAP Horchata, 4% TFA Juicy Peach. Don't mix this until you've tried the peach by itself.

KLP: 2.5% TFA Key Lime, 0.75% TFA Pie Crust, 3% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, 2% CAP Vanilla Custard.

Awesome thank you very much! As far as the peach goes, there is a juice at my local B&M they call peaches and cream and it is completely unvapable to me, the peach tastes floral, like I'm vaping potpourri, so gross, but the mango peach is delicous juicy peach flavor without that floral feel, what peach would you suggest? Also, what would you say SOHO is more like and would be able to make some other good tobbaccos with it?

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

Try the Juicy Peach first. You might find that you like that. If you can't vape it, FLV Peach is one that people who can't vape Juicy Peach have enjoyed. There's also JF Honey Peach and INW Peach, both tasty, and CAP Juicy Peach, which is better suited for a cooked peach than TFA's version, but if you can't tolerate TFA's, don't bother.

Soho is like a dessert tobacco that's very sweet, like caramel and nuts mostly. Try it on it's own at 6% and think about what you might like to mix with it. Other tobacco, caramel, and nut flavors are the most common pairings, followed by apple and banana. I think it would taste very good mixed with your Butter Pecan, and maybe with the Horchata and Custard, even, just don't expect it to have any kind of "cigar"-like flavor.

On second thought, I'm probably overthinking "is described by them as horchata and pecan custard with a cigar." What does it actually taste like?

Can I get some recommendations for fruit flavor combinations using only Capella and Flavor Art flavors?

Citrus, berry, melon, tropical, anything that's fruity would be great!
