Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of July 14, 2017
submitted about 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!

There are some great flavors here! Can you tell me what are some recipes you've tried and liked or tried and didn't like? Is there a particular flavor here that you enjoy and want to use more of, or what that you've neglected but are interested in finding a use for? Any particular profile that sounds good to you? Answers to any of these will make it easier to suggest something that you're more likely to enjoy.

>EDIT: Apologies for the super long post. It wasn't my intention when I started out.

Yeah, I've tried to slowly build up some standards as funds allowed but trying to keep it to a single vendor during sale times has left me lacking a few things that seem to be needed for a lot of what I have because they were sold out or didn't carry it at the time. Like Bilberry to go with blueberry FW and Blueberry Extra, Cacuts, Dragon fruit, additional strawberries, coconuts, and lemons, INW biscuit, FA Cookie, Tobacco DNB, (why does everything have)Fresh Cream, NY Cheesecake, etc.

It seems like every thing I think I would like to make is missing one or two key things. Sometimes I will use popular recipes published here, ATF, and ELR but most of the time what I do is go and look at a bunch of different recipes for the same flavor profile and see what flavors are being used at what percentages throughout various recipes and then I make something up from there and improve on it from batch to batch.

I've mixed a couple of recipes I've found but I've mostly just been making my own stuff with what I had and thankfully they have all turned out pretty well. Most of they time they take at least 2-3 versions to really get it where I want but I haven't made anything unvapeable yet.

I like straight tobaccos and tobacco hybrids, bakeries, desserts, creams, custards, and fruits mixed with any of the above. I'm not a big fan of fruits on their own though.

So far I've made blueberry waffles, apple pecan waffles, a couple straight tobacco mixes, an apple tobacco, strawberry lime cream, a Butter Pecan & Zeppola mix with a few other things added in.

Things I would like to make:

Smores: I was thinking toasted marshmallow, toasted almond, double chocolate, and then am unsure about the crust. Maybe a mix of GC Crust and Pie Crust? Though about possibly adding meringue in there and am undecided if I should even attempt Black Fire at a very low % to give it smokiness or not. Might be okay as a redux down the road if I get the smores down and then want to add tobacco to it. Unsure.

Blood Orange Cake: I think a blood orange cake would be good. Maybe with Nonna's and Yellow Cake? Maybe Catalan Cream?

Key lime and coconut something: Maybe a cheesecake? Maybe a cream? Unsure. I don't know if I could pull off a cheesecake with just GC Crust and Cheesecake GC and no NY Cheesecake or LA Cheesecake. Nonnas is kind of cheesy.

Lemon (something) - LMP, Lemon Cookie, Lemon Cake, something like that. Using Lemonade Cookie and Lemon Sicily seems like a good staring point but not sure where to build from there. Maybe pie crust or GC Crust for a crust. Yellow cake for a cake but Nonnas has kind of a citrus taste to it to me so maybe that would be good as well. Torrone and Catalan Cream hace a bit of citrus IMO as well so maybe they have a place?

Lucky Leprechaun & Apple Jacks: I'd just like to do something with these two flavors. Not together but just in general. I couple probably build something with AJ (maybe funnel cake and Fuji?)but the LL has me drawing a blank. I guess it and marshmallows would seem to be the most obvious. I was thinking maybe use it with blueberries and (something else) to create a kind of grainy blueberry mix?

Thought about a Key Lime, Coconut, Chocolate mix similar to like a lime macaroon(not macaron) dipped in chocolate? Or maybe go a similar way and swap the lime for toasted almond and toasted marshmallow to make an almond joy(alternatively maybe a bit of coconut would be good with the Smores base from earlier in the post since it works with all the other flavors in it(alternatively alternatively maybe lime, coconut, and toasted almond possibly vanilla swirl or VBIC))?

I have also considered a modified Mr. Peanut Butter recipe from Gordona Vapes and having like a tobacco PB with some creams. I think the nuttiness of the PB would pair well with the earthiness of tobacco and the, well, creaminess of some creams. Probably Bavarian maybe some Custard FA or Vanilla Swirl to make like a creamy, custardly, vanilla PB tobacco.

Is my logic completely fucked here? I feel like these make sense but I don't have the experience a lot of you guys do. I've made some pretty different stuff and spent a lot of time reading and researching but I find myself second guessing a lot or feeling like a recipe is never really "complete" if that makes sense.

Holiday Spice and Pumpkin would be cool to find something to do with as well but I mainly picked those up because I want to begin trying to clone Holiday Spice Cake from Seduce Juice since its only available for two months out of the year as well as attempting to clone Mayflower from Charlie Noble since its been discontinued and was one of my favorite all time flavors. It tasted like spiced leaves and the smell of cool, woodsy fall air. I doubt I'll ever be able to tackle Mayflower though considering the complexity of the recipes CN has released. I also thought it might be good for a mincemeat juice and a Christmas pudding juice I want to try to tackle down the road.

All of these ideas sound sound great, some of them might be do-able with what you have.

I think for Smores you're going to need a better chocolate than TFA's.

Blood Orange Cake with Yellow Cake and Catalan Cream sounds great. Make those the same way you've been making stuff, starting with looking into how others are using them.

Key Lime Cheesecake with Coconut-infused crust? That's gonna be amazing. You might be able to pull that off with a combination of Sweet Cream and a little Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, along with Cheesecake Graham Crust. Just a touch of that lemon cookie would probably be good in there too.

CAP Sugar Cookie + Italian Lemon Sicily + Lemonade Cookie + a touch of Meringue might be all you need for a nice lemon cookie.

I like the idea of Lucky Leprechaun and Blueberries as well. Try a small amount of Italian Lemon Sicily with that too. It really makes blueberries pop. Sorry I don't know anything about Apple Jacks.

I would stay away from trying to mix lime and chocolate, especially those chocolates, but toasted almond, toasted marshmallow, vanilla bean ice cream, and coconut sounds amazing.

Try Catalan Cream with your PB and tobacco cream. Bavarian or Vanilla Swirl would probably work too but I would steer clear of PB and FA Custard.

Holiday Spice and Pumpkin - as long as you use them low enough that they don't get weird or gross, those are going to be great the all kinds of things. Try working them into your blood orange cake once you perfect that.

This is really too much for me to go thinking about specific %s right now but I'd just be doing what you have already been doing, looking at how these things are used in other recipes by people I trust. Let me know if you want me to do that with at least on of them and I'll give it a go. Probably the Blood Orange Cake because that is the most intriguing to me.

You should make something with mint in it!

I've been mixing my own juice for some time but only as standalone tastes, now I can buy a lot of capella or avoria concentrates, what are the best recipes? I mostly like fruit juice but everything will suffice http://imgur.com/23KxhAv

If you can get the flavors for it, try this Titanic.

If you're only trying to make something out of what you already have, try 4% CAP Sweet Strawberry, 3% CAP Dragonfruit, 2% CAP Sweet Mango, 1% CAP Sweet Tangerine.

When I first got my stuff I made a quick honeydew and watermelon combo, it was okay for the first juice I've made but not the best as it has lost most of it's flavor over the past week.

I am making my friends some right now though. One is just a bavarian cream at 3.5% single flavor and the other is this one: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1602575/Strawberry+Cheesecake

I've been thinking of making these two: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1591333/Mother%2527s+Unicorn+Milk http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1590505/Pastor%2527s+Glory+by+Mafteg

They have been modified to my liking (no nicotine 30/70)

I'm guessing the FA Kiwi, TFA Kentucky Bourbon, and TFA Toasted Marshmallow were not ordered together as a happy accident, and you already plan on making Coop's Kiwi Bourbon?

And probably Taclite's Bourbon Ice Cream (8% VBIC, 3% Kentucky Bourbon, 2% Toasted Marshmallow, 1% Brown Sugar, steep for at least three weeks) as well?

2 points
 
by MrFireproofabout 8 years ago

Correct, I'm vaping Coop's right now. Although the kiwi comes out a little too floral for my liking, it's possible I messed it up. I also mixed up some Bourbon Smooth, and it comes out a little too bourbon-y, like sniffing a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Taclite's I have not seen. I'll mix that up next to get it steeping. All the recipes I plan on making with my first order flavors are on my ELR Profile. They're all based on screenshots from this sub.

That's for the suggestion. I'm excited to be on this new journey after lurking in this sub for almost a year.

You're only missing TFA Dragonfruit to make God Milk and Mother of God's Milk.

For now, try God Milk, but replace the 1% Dragonfruit that recipe calls for with 0.75% CAP NY Cheesecake. You might also enjoy just leaving the Dragonfruit out, or experimenting with replacing it with 1% Vanilla Swirl, 1% Graham Cracker Clear, or 1% Peach Juicy.

I tried to buy the top 10 from both TFA and CAP but the vendor didn't have Dragonfruit. Will pick it up :)

Edit: Holy shit, you're ID10-T lol. I was browsing recipes and your name kept popping up everywhere. I feel like I just got a reply from a celebrity haha

You're only missing the FA Caramel and INW Biscuit to make this Strawberry Custard,

the FA Meringue and FA White Peach to make this Peaches and Cream,

the Kentucky Bourbon and Toasted Marshmallow for this bad boy,

the INW Biscuit and TFA Peanut Butter for this Peanut Butter Cheesecake,

the CAP Sugar Cookie for my Simple Sugar Cookie,

and the CAP Sugar Cookie and TFA Marshmallow for my Snickerdoodle Cookie.

Of those, I definitely recommend picking up the Kentucky Bourbon, Toasted Marshmallow, CAP Sugar Cookie, TFA Marshmallow, and FA Meringue. There will be plenty of other uses for those once you have more ingredients or start experimenting with creating your own. Less true of FA Caramel, INW Biscuit, and TFA Peanut Butter, but those are great ingredients, too.
