Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of August 25, 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!

I have the following on hand:

FW Black Tea

LA Cherry

FA Chocolate

FW Chocolate Mint

FA Cocoa

TFA Cola Syrup

CAP Double Chocolate

LA English Toffee

TFA Irish Cream

FA Lemon Sicily

TFA Milk Chocolate

I'm looking to expand that to include the following flavors, but unsure which vendors for them, hopefully someone has suggestions:

Sweet Tea

Lemonade

Coffee (black)

Espresso

Blueberry

Raspberry

Orange

Banana

Coconut

Honey

Cinnamon

Butterscotch/Caramel

Marshmallow

and maybe a whiskey or rum.

(Yes, I lack most of the 'suggested' flavors because I despise vanilla, strawberries, peach (including the peach-like flavors such as mango and nectarine) and custard... and vaping baked goods (this include cereal and granola) flavors isn't for me. So I'm concentrating on 'beverage' type flavors.)

Also, if there's any flavors I should be looking to add that I've overlooked (rather than something I mentioned not wanting) I welcome those suggestions too.

INW Honey and INW Whiskey are really good to me. I would try them around .5%-1% then see if you want more or less. Coffee is a hard flavor to make in artificial form...FA Dark Bean (Espresso) is okay, but there's a funkiness from the coffee furanone. FLV Rich Cinnamon is supposed to be the king of cinnamon. Here's a great video on coconut flavorings.

Thanks for the suggestions. I now notice I forgot butterscotch/caramel on the list to get. And I'm fairly certain I have some cola (I think TPA) and Cocoa (FA?) but they seem to have wandered somewhere so I didn't know whether to bother mentioning them.

Be sure to search through the Flavor Reviews and Flavor of the Week posts in this sub to get a ton of help. Flavor West has some really nice butterscotches :)

> Cinnamon

Grab yourself some FLV Rich Cinnamon the next time you buy flavorings. Don't be turned off by the price, trust me! I'm sure some more experienced DIYers could chime in here and back up that Rich Cinnamon is amazing.

Can anyone suggest a good lemonade recipe that uses FW Lemondae? I'd love a good strawberry or blueberry Lemondae, and just a plain lemonade recipe. Having trouble finding the right ratios.

I made this simple strawberry lemonade recipe last week and it turned out great (well, to me anyway)

Strawberry Lemonade by JohnMc

It calls for "FW Lemonade (Natural)" ... what I have is just labeled "FW Lemonade" and like I said it is fine, I don't even know if there is an actual difference. Also refer to the DIY eJuice Flavor of the Week: Lemonade Thread for general information and some pairing suggestions.

Here are my first order flavors, I hope I did well

  • TFA blueberry wild
  • TFA Belgian waffle
  • TFA strawberry ripe
  • CAP vanilla custard V1
  • FA Kiwi
  • CAP sweet watermelon
  • CAP Sugar cookies V1
  • CAP french Vanilla V1
  • CAP Graham cracker V2
  • TFA cheesecake
  • TFA dragon fruit
  • TFA Bavarian cream
  • FA coconut
  • TFA vanilla swirl V1
  • CAP NY cheesecake V1

As you can see, I enjoy deserts blends and my favorite juices are a rich custard/cream/milk.

I hope I did well on my first flavors, I looked up slot of recipes on here and then just ordered some based off the " best 10 _____ flavors" listed on NicRiver

Any recipes are appreciated, I already have a bunch in mind though!

> TFA cheesecake

That one is really bad. You want the cheesecake with graham from them, not the regular cheesecake.

Other than that it's a pretty good list of flavors and it should be easy to find something to make. I'll see if I can find a simple one for you. Just doing the cap sugar cookie at around 6% and adding another flavor to it like strawberry ripe or blueberry wild would be an easy one. Look up whatever fruit you want to add on AllTheFlavors and see what people are using it at in mixes. Start at that percentage and see how you like it.

Dang! I literally realized this last night after ordering, I wanted the cheesecake Graham pie crust or whatever it's called

Have you tried Simple Sugar Cookie or Mother of Dragons' Milk?

2 points
 
by WillyDrumDrumabout 8 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

Yup! I was looking at those 2 when I was ordering, I think I have a solid set of flavours to get me started.

I just ordered em last night so they should be here maybe late next week or so

The Simple Sugar Cookie super accommodating/versatile and meant to be added to and played with. If you like the original, let me know and I'll suggest some variations you can do with the other flavors you have.

Wasnt sure if there was a way to export my flavor list but HERE IT IS.

The problem im running into is recipes using other manufacturers flavors.

Thanks for any help. I'm looking for some tropical recipes that are strong and sweet. I also love marshmallow cereal and wanting to find a clone of Vapetasias Killer Kustard Strawberry

you should be able to link directly to your flavors on ATF like this. should be an option in the.. options.

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

Never tried the original so I don't know about a clone but here's a strawberry custard: 4% INW Shisha Strawberry, 5% CAP Vanilla Custard V2, 1% LA Cream Cheese Icing. Steep for one month.

Strong Sweet Tropical: 5% TFA Kiwi Double, 4% TFA Philippine Mango, 1.5% INW Coconut, 1% TFA Marshmallow. Steep for one week.

I think Marshmallow Cereal is going to be out of your reach with just these ingredients.

2 points
 
by juthincabout 8 years ago

For a marshmallow cereal, are you thinking any in particular? ISTR Booberry (Count Chocula was the most memorable of that group of cereals) so I'd think you could get close to that or maybe Frankenberry, Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy. Lucky Charms, Count Chocula, Marshmallow Rice Crispies, or Smorz... not so much.

Got most all FlavourArt, looking for any good uses for some of the less commonly used flavors. Here are some that I've barely used:

Anise, Apple Pie, Bergamont, Black Currant, Blackberry, Cappuccino, Cherry, Chocolate, Citrus Mix, Clove, Cocoa, Cola, Condensed Milk, Cookie, Cucumber, Custard, Fresh Fig, Grape (White), Grape Concord, Grapefruit, Guava, Hazelnut, Honey, Hypnotic Mist, Jamaican Rum, Kiwi, Licorice, Lime Tahiti, Lychee, Mad Fruit, Mandarine, Mango, Mangosteen, Maple Syrup, Marzipan, Melon Cantalope, Oba Oba, Nut Mix, Oak Wood, Orange, Papaya, Pistaccio, Storm, Strawberry, Torrone, Tutti Fruitti, Walnut, Yogurt.

Also every FA tobacco + enhancers (MTS Wiz, Flash, Magic Mask, Sour Wiz, etc.)

*I'd love to hear any mixes you enjoy that use any of these + other FA flavors, as well most popular TFA, CAP, and FW flavors.

Thanks!

Well, if I had all those flavors, the first thing I'd try would be a cherry cola. (It's my favorite non-alcoholic beverage, so why not?) Beyond that... I tried a juice recently that was a blend of Black Currant, Blackberry, Blueberry and Raspberry. (Unfortunately, no clue as to proportions.) I'd also be tempted to try blending Cherry, Chocolate, and Pistaccio. (The combination works in ice cream.) Maybe a Orange/Anise blend would work for you (remember Tiger Tail ice cream?) The Clove is intriguing... I use the spice quite a bit when cooking, the trick is to use really tiny amounts and it can complement just about anything. I was actually wondering about using it in a (black) coffee juice to try and make it richer earlier.

Sweet! Will mix it up in a bit. Haven't tried any yet except Marzipan. Believe I got it after reading your description of it's aroma, which I agree is amazing.

Right now I am trying to come up with a nice, smooth minty vanilla with a cold inhale/exhale. It's going to be a 12mg 40/60 PG/VG blend for MTL in my Nautilus 2. Absolutely any input here would be welcome whether it's based on what I have, what I will have, or what I still need to place an order for.

For my 3mg DTL needs I'm trying to find or come up with a nice creamy or custardy fruit recipe that does not depend on strawberry flavorings. I'm somewhat of a strawberry non-taster, so I'd like to see what I can come up with that doesn't rely on them.

This is less pressing than the vanilla mint recipe I'm trying to come up with, so this is pretty much going off of what I have or will have on Wednesday. There are tens of thousands of these recipes all over the net, but almost all of them seem to be based on strawberry. This time around though I'd like to avoid peach. I'm not in the mood for it right now. I mean, it can have peach in it if it's a subtle accent, but nothing more than that.


Excluding the flavors arriving Wednesday, here's what I was thinking of mixing up tonight. What are your personal thoughts on it? Anything you would change? I'm still pretty much an absolute beginner, so any input is valuable.

Vanilla Mint WIP V1.00 

Ingredient|% :---|---: Arctic Winter (FA)|1 Eucalyptus + Mint (INW)|0.75 Meringue (FA)|1 Peppermint (TPA)|2 Polar Blast (FA)|0.5 Spearmint (FA)|1 Vanilla Shisha (INW)|1 Vanilla Swirl (TPA)|5 Flavor total|12.25%

Have you already mixed this up?

Mint and peppermint are both dream combinations with vanilla but Eucalyptus is like very cough-droppy and I would definitely leave that out. That INW Natural Mint you've got coming should help a lot.

2 points
 
by Urano_Metriaabout 8 years agoMentholatier

Yeah, I mixed it and it was an utter failure. The mint didn't come through strong enough, and it was too sweet. The vanilla was kind of cloying, and I didn't notice much difference mixing it again while halving the vanillas and meringue.

I'd try it again without the Eucalyptus, but I'd appreciate any input you could give me on the vanilla note.

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

I don't know why halving the vanillas and meringue didn't work. Maybe there's something offensive to you about one of the other ingredients. Are you testing each of these flavors individually to make sure you actually like them before you mix them together?

Creamy or Custardy Fruit Recipe without Strawberry or Peach?

D Cream

Raspberry Custard

2 points
 
by Urano_Metriaabout 8 years agoMentholatier

Thanks for the links! I was actually already planning on mixing up some of that Raspberry Custard today. The D Cream looks interesting though. I'll mix that up as well because I'm hurting for juice right now after my strawberry non-tasting discovery.

Hey guys. I have a lot of lorann lying around and was wondering what someone could come up with.

(All are 1dram size bottles)

The flavors are: English toffee, Bavarian cream, Root beer , Mint chocolate chip, Vanilla butternut, Cherry, Mango, Coconut, Cotton candy, Strawberry, Key lime, Green apple, Cran raspberry , Marshmallow, Cake batter, Sparkling wine ( not even sure what to do with this one) And Horehound (smells like anise maybe?)

Anyway I'm looking for a Straight VG blend (well a 80-90% ratio)

Any ideas?

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

Try: Mint Chocolate Chip 4% + Bavarian Cream 1% + Cotton Candy 1%

And: Strawberry 4% + Sparkling Wine 1% + Cotton Candy 1%

2 points
 
by logan2231993about 8 years ago

Awesome I'll try these when I get home.

Also do you by chance know of any sites that have lorann recipes? They're hard to find for me for some reason.

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

ECR has some but there aren't many. Most people don't use only LA. Hell, most people don't venture out from Lemonade and Watermelon when it comes to LA.
