Weekly 'What are you vaping?' Thread - Week of May 21, 2018
submitted over 7 years ago by c5b4c91772c729fc7d0a

After lots of positive feedback last week, let's kick off the first of many "what are you vaping" threads!

As the title suggests, this thread is for you to share what you are vaping lately, be it your own or another mixers recipe. Maybe you happened to stumble upon your new ADV in the May Recipe Thread? Or did someone recommend your first mix to you in the Suggest a recipe for my flavors Thread?

Share what you liked or didn't like too much, but most importantly, please make sure to properly link to the recipe and to the mixer if they're on reddit.

If you need some inspiration, some websites keep track of your mixes and batches: e-Liquid Recipes and All The Flavors.

Also make sure to checkout last week's thread for inspiration.

Happy Vaping!

Lots of things!

Within the past week, I've vaped 25 different single-flavor vanillas. You can hear all about that here. Too long? Too boring? Can't watch YT right now? Can't stand my super-punchable face? Let me give you a brief summary.

The word vanilla means "little vagina" - you can thank the conquistadors for that. Vanilla is hand-pollinated, which means if you've got real vanilla bean, someone stuck their dirty finger in a flower for your bean. They fingered a little vagina. There are very good reasons by TFA Vanilla Swirl and CAP French Vanilla are so popular. When INW eventually ruins Shisha Vanilla just like those Polish bastards ruin everything else, WF Vanilla Cream Extra is probably a viable substitute. /u/ConcreteRiver doesn't like Holy Vanilla. He's an FLV Smooth Vanilla apologist. I'm in lust with TFA French Vanilla Deluxe. Of the 25 vanillas I tried, none of them were really nasty, but One Drop Flavors Vanilla is pretty weird, in a bad way. Or maybe I'm broken and it's fine, who knows?

Right now, this second, I'm vaping Mango Yo La Tango by /u/enyawreklaw in my Recoil RDA. Just finishing off the very last of a 40ml before rewicking. I gave it a review on ATF already. It's surprisingly hard to find anything wrong with it. I think CAP Sweet Guava might be a minor super hero here, because by itself, I think that much CAP Sweet Mango is kinda gross. It does seem to be a bit sweet for my taste, not sucralose sweet, but like sweet flavors sweet. Cotton candy sweet. But I went ahead and gave it the 5 stars. People like sweet stuff, and I think I might be more into it just the way it is if it weren't so damn hot here. Since we're having mid-summer heat in May down here, I think I'd like it better with some coolant.

Various other RDAs and tanks are all being used by various WIPs that aren't worth sharing and probably aren't worth mentioning, but I'll go ahead and mention then anyway: a chilled blueberry cream, a cinnamon/orange/honeysuckle tea, an ice cold coke, a peanut brittle, a frozen mangonada, a banana colada, and a blueberry pound cake.

In the pod system that I've been using at the office, Charlie Noble's Pistachio RY4 by (I'm assuming) /u/PrettyMatthew . Fuck, it's so good. Please don't take this as an endorsement of the entire Charlie Noble Nic Salt line, as I found 3/6 of them to be pretty solidly disappointing (the remaining two I wouldn't call disappointing, just not as much for my personal taste). But this Pistachio RY4 has been the best part of waking up for the past week. I won't buy more when it runs out, because I really need to be working on my own salt nic pod stuff and this is hindering my progress, but I'm not going to waste a drop of it and I'll be sad to see it go.

If you like chilled vapes try adding some of your favorite coolant to it. Not that I’ve done that myself and can recommend it, I’m just trying to use you like a lab rat.

I’ve been dying to try your pina colada because it’s one of my absolute fav flavors, but for whatever reason when I ordered I always forgot stupid Fa coconut and Ina pineapple... I want to ask you if you’ve ever tried the pina colada concentrates and aside from they’re not your fabulous concoction, what’s wrong w them and can they be salvaged if u know. I have tfa‘ sand I swear I have another just can’t find it...but might b RFSC I think...don’t laugh lol...

I’ve tried a couple of them. One tasted too much like candy, one lacked any rum flavor and wasn’t very creamy. I said to hell with this and made my own.

I know brand subbing can be massively frowned upon, but being overseas it's sometimes the only financial option. How do you think TFA cantaloupe would sub for the CAP cantaloupe?

I don't exactly have an ADV, as I tire relatively quickly of flavors. But today, I'm vaping Peaches and Cream by u/Vurve. And I'm glad I do. This thing is finally awesome!

Everyone says the peach flavorings have a brutal throat hit. And They're right. But I've read praising reviews for FA white peach so I knew I had to have FA White peach for THIS recipe. I mean, I went to serious lengths to get FA White peach (since I can't get it here in Mexico, and it's not easy to import foodstuffs, I had to get someone to bring it for me from the US). And finally I got it and mixed it in early April. I waited two weeks... and the vile concoction was perfumey AND scraped the inside of my throat. So the bottle went back to the cabinet. Tried it a couple weeks later. Still harsh and unpleasantly perfumey. My heart broke. But, I decided to pick it up last night. My sweet lord. It was as if they had changed my bottle with something else! Six weeks later, and it's delicious. I've had TFA Peach Juicy in other recipes before, and it has this distinct gummy/candy peach flavor, but this Peaches & Cream has a distinct natural peach marmalade/tinned peach note which I love. Or that's achieved when mixing FA White Peach and TFA Peach Juicy, I can't say since I this is my first experiment.

Anyway, that's how I chose what I'm vaping today. And I was thinking I had to tell someone about my breakthrough and you gave me the opening :) Thanks, guys!

Try the FA-duet, FA Peach and FA Peach White at 1-1.5% each. Usually works really well!

A similar recipe I was working on that turned out really smooth:

Flavor | Percentage --- | --- FA Peach | 1.5% FA Peach White | 1.5% TPA Dragonfruit | 1% TPA Bavarian Cream | 2.5% TPA French Vanilla Deluxe | 2.5%

I think the FVD and the Dragonfruit help tame the Peaches and a little more Bavarian Cream really helps smooth it out.

by Cepsitaover 7 years ago

Sadly, I can't get FA Peach easily. Might give it a try if I can. And yes, I've gone down the TFA Peach Juicy + TFA Dragonfruit route before, but that mixture turned too sweet for my liking. Maybe I'll try with lower percentages next. Thanks!

How’s the throat hit on this???

Good! I'd give it 5/10. But it is 70/30 VG/PG, and with 3 mg nic. Pretty much what I like.

by Cepsitaover 7 years ago

Not 100%, just enough to match my personal preference. My main beef was with the perfumey, air-freshner-like flavor that FA white peach brought. That toned down and the mix smoothed enough for me to enjoy it.

FA passion fruit at 5%. Haven't found a recipe yet that let's the passion fruit be front and center.

And of course my dailies: Kopel's Sakura Cider (floral and complex) and Jazz Hands (violet is such an amazing flavor, though I sometimes up the FA violet and lower the Holy Vanilla), and Coop's Kiwi Bourbon (a simple mix that I could never have imagined would work). I never get sick of these extremely well crafted recipes.

Are you implying that FA passion fruit should be harsh at 5%? It's smooth as silk for me and have a nice passion fruit smoothie or lemonade taste to it at 80/20 VG/pg

by lNTERLINKEDover 7 years agoI did not ask for this flair.

I had a pretty lazy week mixing wise, so I have been vaping on some pretty uninspired stuff unfortunately.

Edit: Just realised this could seem quite rude. I'm talking about my pineapple fail, and vaping a mix that I made 9 months ago, not Wayne's lovely pancake recipe. :)

I needed a quick bottle to take with me on a trip and I fancied something with pineapple, so I threw together

  • 3% CAP Golden pineapple
  • 2% TFA VBIC

I thought it would be a smooth creamy pineapple, but it turned out tasting pretty much like a glass of water drunk from a glass that previously had pineapple juice in it.

Ah well, even the failures are valuable experience, right?


I also mixed up (most of) French Dude Remix by /u/Enyawerklaw.

I subbed the TPA Waffle (belgian) for TPA Waffle, as that's what I had. I also used FLV sweetness in place of CAP supersweet.

On the eye: Dark golden, looks like maple syrup.

On the nose: Sweet, hint of blueberry and lots of dark maple. Smells yummy.

Inhale: Sweet, touch of maple and a hint of blueberry.

Exhale: A light cake-like flavour, presumably from the waffle. Strong flavour of maple, undertones of blueberry.

Thoughts: I really like this mix. It's super smooth, hardly a hint of throat hit. It's got a very pleasing sweetness to it, especially on the exhale. I'll probably try out the Blueberry trinity in this, as I'd like more of the blueberry flavour. I would definitely recommend mixing this up if a pancake syrup mix sounds appealing to you.


#Shameless plug incoming

I have also gone through about 80ml of Milli Vanilli. This is the only thing that I've made that I felt could really be shared, so far. I know it's a lot of vanilla flavours, and some people won't be into that. But if you are into vanilla, this one really is a pretty nice dessert style mix, that I would encourage you to try. I advocate trying it fresh in my notes, which I do believe you should, but it's really best after a couple of weeks, and heavenly after a month. It just keeps getting richer and fuller.


On this thread in general, thanks c5b4 for starting this, it's made me think about what i'm mixing, and i'm actually writing things down. I'm really enjoying it, and judging by the comments here the newbies and regulars alike feel the same way.

Hey, so when my sister is over she'll taste whatever I've got steeping and if she likes something she'll ask me to mix her up a bottle.

Yesterday, I mixed up a 15ml of Milli Vanilli with the last of my Holy Vanilla. This morning she came by, had a taste and slipped the rest of the sample in her bag like "yep, this one's mine, deal with it" lol

I'm not sure if we're supposed to give feedback in this thread, and it isn't even feedback per se, but it is a compliment, I think.

Considering this is the first feedback I've ever had on a recipe I've come up with, I'm gonna say yes it definitely does count, and it means the world to me. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know how someone feels about my mix, it means a lot. <3

Well let me give some more...Milli Vanilli is fanfuckingtastic! I have 240 mL steeping right now. I mixed up a 30 ml like 4 weeks ago. I liked it the first week but I made myself wait a full 2 weeks to see how it developed before finishing it. After 2 weeks that stuff is seriously vanilla crack. Love it! I will leave you an ATF review soon. I have a ton of reviews to do but life stuff keeps getting in my way.

My own orange concoction, Alan's Orange. It sort of became an accidental ADV. It was just meant to memorialize a friend and instead hasn't found it's way out of my RDA yet. Generally i'll swap between 4-8 different flavors a day. I guess not anymore.

Hopefully more people get a chance try it.

With my morning coffee(s) I’ve been vaping Charlie Noble’s Peanut Butter Cereal by /u/PrettyMatthew.

During the day, it’s either Folkart's Boss Reserve clone minus the sweetener (super-yummy, never tasted the original, but don’t care to), or my own experimental mix of whisky + coffee and creams—I’m trying to get an Irish coffee-ish thing but it’s not quite there yet.

by juthincover 7 years agoOne of "The Damned"

Have you tried using any Irish Cream flavors? And/or SA Irish Coffee? (Try that at around 4%, 2% FA Whiskey, and maybe 2-3% TFA Mexican Liquor, maybe 2 or 3% TFA Irish Cream. Not really what I think of when I think Irish Coffee (Black Bush and Black coffee. Done. Ratio anywhere from 1:3 - 1:0 depending on the day.))

1 points
 
by DenialFlashover 7 years ago

Yep, TPA Irish cream is in there. But I added 1 bloody drop of TPA Caramel Cappuccino/25 ml in the latest batch and maybe that was a bad move idk, I'm still in denial.

I was hoping I might make it work with what I already have, but I'll add that Mexican Liquor to my next order, as well as the Irish Coffee and try your suggestion. Fucking hell, I picked an expensive hobby.

1 points
 
by juthincover 7 years agoOne of "The Damned"

Well, if you have FA Espresso and FA Whiskey, those with the TFA Irish Cream should get you most of the way there. Say .25% FA Espresso and 2% Whiskey with 3 or 4% TFA Irish Cream. But yeah... this hobby can get expensive. Particularly if you like gin flavors... and you learn about Flavor Monks.

I've been trying to like Mango Sticky Rice but there's something about it I find unpleasant, perhaps the mango being overly ripe? I can't quite put my finger on it.

I recently found a bottle of Cinnamon Toast Crunch w/Milk that I had forgotten about so I've been really enjoying that, perfectly steeped and delicious.

To my surprise, I also had some Mustard Milk yesterday and quite liked it. Never been very keen on it but now and then it's a nice change.

Zeppole ala Creme by heatho72 - First recipe with FA Zeppola that really worked for me. I think the Bavarian Cream really helped calm it down a little.

Malibu by Meliante - I initially liked the idea of a strawberry coconut drink, but I think the combination of Jameica Rhum and Koolada doesn't work for me. Next batch will be without the koolada and with less rhum, but apart from that it's a great recipe.

c5b4's Beer Vape - An idea for a Beer Vape I'm working on since I got Yakima Hops a few weeks ago. Histamines keep me from enjoying IPA's, so this is probably fairly off from anything related to IPAs, but it already works really well with a (couple of) Lager. It could use some more complexity though.

Flavor | % ---|--- FLV Yakima Hops | 2% TPA Honeysuckle | 1.5% TPA Champagne Type | 2% OTHR WS-23 | 1%

by c5b4c91772c729fc7d0aover 7 years ago

I experimented a little more and I think I finally found a use for FA Gin:

Flavor | % --- | --- FLV Yakiam Hops | 2.5% TPA Honeysuckle | 1% FA White Grape | 1% FA Grapefruit | 1% FA Gin | 0.5% OTHR WS-23 (30%) | 1%

Dropped the Honeysuckle because it made things to sweet and left out the Champagne Type because I figured FA Gin will give enough drink-like profile, which works. I was fairly disappointed in FA Gin because it only had the top-notes of a Gin and none of the bitter/exhale aspects, but it works quite well to give a slight hint of bitter inhale here.

FA Grapefruit is there to make things a little more citrus-y without turning the whole profile to lemon, while White Grape and Honeysuckle boost the hop of Yakima Hops. I didn't use INW Grape because I feared it would be too sweet.

I have been vaping a Turkish Pipe Tobacco with mango the last couple days. Sort of made it by accident. I was making 240 ml of my Turkish for Pipe recipe and on a whim I swapped the Hs Elder Captain for .5% TFA Turkish. Didn’t even test it before making 240 ml. Not bad, but not good enough to make so much. Decided to try to save it so I added 1.5% FE Mango and it’s actually really good.

I've been vaping If You Like Piña Colada by /u/ID10-T for a couple weeks now and I'm glad I ordered big bottles of INW Pineapple and FA Coconut because this stuff is ridiculously tasty with punchy pineapple taste and a pleasant blend of coconut behind it. It's perfect for the season and makes for a damn fine hot weather vape.

I used TFA Coconut Extra at about 0.35%, not sure if there's any difference or if TFA Coconut is the same thing but it's tasty and I'll be leaving a nice review on ATF soon.

by ID10-Tover 7 years agoWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

<Kiss heart emoji>

I'd recommend others use even less Coconut Extra in that because it seems to be pretty similar but about three to four times more potent than Coconut (not extra). However, if you like it, that's all that matters. INW Pineapple feels a little like getting ripped off because you're paying the same INW price for something with way less potency, but it's soooo good.

I’ll trade someone a 4oz of Coconut extra or candy for a 15 or 30ml of Fa coconut and Ina pineapple...and I’ll throw in a 4oz of tpa DK Tobacco, FW ShirleyTemple and/ or Extreme Ice or any one of a variety of my flavors....😬. I have about 30 4oz and 3 8 oz flavors I’ll give as many and whatever u want there’s just too many to list unless u want me to.

Mango Sticky Rice is reserved for Friday nights. That stuff is a treat.

I really really like Lime Longing. I've never had a lime juice that used FA Florida Key Lime and it's amazing. Every other lime I've had is too sharp on the inhale and taste nothing but cotton on the exhale. This is SO much better than Placid. My buddy likes to remix Longing with various fruits. Not I. Lime longing is a masterpiece.

I also puff on my own stuff everyday, but I suck.

man, I've had my eye on this one for a while now. to me it sounds "I dunno" IRL, but I'll try anything once. my mom used to make Biko, a rice cake, where glutinous rice is cooked with coconut milk and brown sugar then topped with caramelized coconut milk. u/Shyndo, if you've ever had this maybe I can hope you try and replicate it

by omgcomeonidiotover 7 years ago

For me a lot of it is novelty on top of the deliciousness. I've seen "sticky rice" juices in stores and assumed it was rice crispy, but no, this is sticky rice. It's bizarre. I had a colleague lick the flavoring and it freaked her out so much because it is undeniably rice. Texture too. It feels like when you put a Nestle Crunch bar in your mouth, the moment the bumpy bottom side touches your tongue.

The best part about it is the steep time. It's not a shake and vape that just tastes good enough. It's a shake and vape that tastes complete. You'd think it's been presteeped. It's also warm and weirdly calming.

I'd really actually like to do tembleque which is a puerto rican coconut milk flan with orange blossom water. It's perhaps one of the best desserts I've ever tried in real life. But alas, there is no orange blossom water concentrate unless I wanna buy some amoretti at like 15 bucks (fuck that).
Maybe Biko would be a fun project, that rice can be a pesky asshole to work with tho so I'm not sure I wanna commit to anything yet. I'll work on a few betas and decide <3

Currently vaping on goofy's juice and that popular dinner lady lemon meringue pie remix. Just finished the cuttwood unicorn milk leak recipe. My thoughts:

I haven't had the actual cuttwood unicorn milk but imo, that recipe was a bit meh. It's good but not great, I kinda prefer god milk over this.

Goofy's juice is amazing tho. Has quite a throat hit, but tasty enough to stomach it. I kinda wanna try what happens if I sub tpa ry4 double with holy grail ry4.

The lemon meringue pie remix suffers from what's common with other recipes which I think is the throat hit. I'm not really a throat hit guy. In fact, I dislike it. I really prefer smooth vapes. Again I haven't had dinner lady's lemon pie but I have had GSV's one, and this one was better. Less sweet, less throat hit too (impt!), and the flavors are separated a bit more that you can make out the layers, rather than it be one homogenous flavor. Very interesting.

I don't make my own mixes, but rather copy people's recipe, and from the 20+ I've tried, only 1 was unvapable, the rest were from meh, to not bad, to pleasantly good. The only things I keep coming back to tho, are grack juice, u/hashslingingslashur's guava cactus, and third world custard. I've been given some recipes for other custards unfortunately I don't have access to those flavors.

I know this is a diy sub but I kinda wanna give reviews for recipes made by diy-ers, just to give people a heads up for those who want to try them. Idk if it's appropriate for this sub tho.

Edit: on mobile now, will edit with the links and tags in a few hours.

EDIT 2: added links and tags

I put 2% Polar Blast (FA) for a cool wet Prickly Victory. If I had WS-23, I'd put that in too. I'm having bad luck finding it though

by penatbaterover 7 years ago

I dont have polar blast but I have ws 23 coming soon. I tried koolada and the taste changed. It definitely muted the flavor. Idk if increasing the guava can help compensate the addition of the cooling agent.

3 points
 
by kuri_sanTouover 7 years agoDiketones, Schmiketones

I'd leave the recipe the same. from what I've read WS-23 will add coolness on the inhale without changing your flavors. and polar blast will put coolness on the exhale giving a rounded overall cool vape

I keep coming back to Tootsee Roll from /u/ID10-T (sorry but link challenged atm). I go a session or 2 without mixing it, then when I do I am surprised all over again at how much I like it.

Disregard the odd name, it is straight up strawberry cake, or cookie, idk. A fine bakery at any rate.

Awesome Strawberry Swiss Roll!

You should really thank /u/queuetue for that one. If he hadn't put all those ingredients in an Awesome Box together there's little chance I ever would have mixed em up like that. I miss Awesome Boxes.

So, ASS Roll? Tootsee Roll does sound better, given that context....

Now I have to go find Little Debbie for the real treat. Thx for wrecking my diet.

So this one has been stuck in my queue for awhile because I can't get JF Biscuit but I have everything else. Should I sub INW Biscuit and try it or is JF Biscuit worth the wait?

I have always used INW, same %.

Try 0.75% INW Biscuit instead of the 1% JF.

I love that one too and will randomly remix it up and wonder why I don't mix it more often. I very rarely mix the same thing twice so that is something.

For me it does have "best before" shelf life, but boy is it good fresh! One of those exceptions to the steep rule I guess...

My usual routine is that I have 3 different recipes on me at all times, 2 batches of recipes that I'm working on, and 1 community recipe. Here's what I'm rocking today.

The Search For More Money 3a.1 - 1 week steep
My brother is a gigantic fan of The Downside by The Schwartz so I've been trying to whip something up close to it. Thanks to you wonderful people I have been employing the "Holy Blueberry Trinity" of FA Bilberry, FW Blueberry, and TFA Blueberry Extra. I started with FW Yogurt on this but FW has a fairly forward earthy note. When I switched to FA my brother and another regular Downside buyer said this was the closest it's been. The only thing missing that I got from it is a slight tang note that greek yogurt would have, so I added in just a little bit of CAP Greek Yogurt and I can't wait to have my brother try it, because this is money (knee slap).

MFG|Flavor|%
:-:|:-:|:-: FA|Bilberry|0.5% FW|Blueberry|2% TFA|Blueberry Extra|3% CAP|Greek Yogurt|0.5% CAP|Super Sweet|0.5% FA|Yogurt|2.5%

Tripolitempt 3-week steep

This was inspired by the other Tripoli recipes I have seen on ATF (Thanks Tootall\ChemicalBurnVictim). I wanted to take a crack at my own interpretation. Because of the steep time I'm still on the first batch but so far I am really enjoying it. The only thing I'm considering is maybe backing off CAP Sugar Cookie and TFA Turkish a little bit.

MFG|Flavor|% :-:|:-:|:-: FLV|Fig|0.5% DFS|Holy Grail RY4|4% CAP|Sugar Cookie|2% CAP|Toasted Almond|1% FE|Tobacco Absolute|0.25% TFA|Turkish|0.25% CAP|Vanilla Custard v1|2%

The Spider by StarsandClouds

This is described as a vanilla ice cream soda, and I have been really digging it. The VT Creaming Soda\Fizzy Sherbet combo really does bring out an effervescence for that sort of soda mouth feel. I would highly recommend it if you want a soda float without root beer, or maybe you can just toss in some FLV Root Beer for a bangin float as well.

My version 1 of 1-2-3 Blue Circus Peanut. Don't laugh.

FW Blueberry 3%
CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream 2%
FLV Banana 1%

Marshmallow I'm sure would be better in this than whipped cream, but I don't have one ATM. FLV Banana is a spot on circus peanut to me. Blueberry and banana are surprisingly not terrible together.

edit: also Cap Super Sweet to taste

I just got FW Blueberry in the Mail today. Got HS Banana too. I don’t think that would come out tasting like a circus peanut though.

by LimeDriveover 7 years ago

Haha I swear FLV Banana does. FW is an artificial and sweet blueberry to me, I seem to have more luck with it up pretty high

I just threw it in with some TFA Wild Blueberry and FLV Yakima Hops for a blueberry beer type of thing. We will see if that comes out sucking.

Also Jerry's [Vanilla #the Christmas Mix] (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/78594#vanilla_the_christmas_mix_by_jerrysnaps) with the addition of 1.5% HS Blueberry. The original recipe is phenomenal and I've been playing with accents.

Do you have a stockpile of the original lime? I thought it was r~~eformulat~~uined too?

1 points
 
by kindgroundover 7 years ago

The lemon was reformulated for sure. I have about 6oz left. The lime may have been reformulated recently too but I haven't been able to confirm it. I have about 3oz of original lime left.

IDK what I'll do when I run out of the original lemon. 3 of my ADV use it (try my Lemon Frosted Almond Shortbread please!). I'm a true INW Lemon junkie.

by juthincover 7 years agoOne of "The Damned"

Have you tried lemon shisha as a replacement?

Not really sure about other choices. I have maybe a half dozen lemons, but not OG INW Lemon, so I have no idea which is closest. (And no offense, but I'll pass on mixing your cookie recipe. Vaping baked goods and me don't get along.)

Btw the LFAS recipe I mentioned is a bit of a chameleon. It tastes like a lemon cherry/almond cookie to some. To others it tastes just like fruity pebbles and a little milk.

by matthewkocandaover 7 years agomixes it with love and makes the world taste good

This week, I actually feel like a mixer again, and I've finally gotten around to mixing up some old classics.

First up, I needed to revisit a banger from my dude /u/shyndo and mix a bottle of Cantrips. I remember the first time I vaped on this, and was absolutely blown away by how well TPA Honeysuckle can add a level of complexity and depth to almost any fruit you throw at it. Being a pear-forward vape, this one has always been right up my alley. Also great because it's crisp and refreshing, perfect for how hot it's been lately.

Next up is Pillow Talk by /u/enyawreklaw . I talk a lot of shit about Wayne being the CAP Super Sweet cuck, and I also will continue to argue that personally, most of Wayne's recipes don't entirely strike my fancy, but at the end of the day, dude does work. And this recipe was always really pleasant for me. I've been dealing with a shit ton of allergy-related sickness lately, and the constant sore throat and congestion has just been hell for me. This recipe is perfect in it's simplicity. Just a simple vanilla mint, but executed flawlessly. I love it for it's creaminess, complete lack of any offensive or harsh notes, and being a lovely vape for the end of the day.

The last recipe I've been vaping on is one of my own, and something I thought I'd tire of quickly, but still have not. Simply called The Mess, I just threw a little something together that was intended to be similar to Strap-On by /u/ID10-T in it's ability to be manipulated and turned into whatever you want it to be, this recipe is just bursting with bright flavour. FW Beetle Juice is such a wonderfully complex concentrate, with notes of citrus, berry, and generalized fruit sweetness, it just allows any other fruits to have fun and create something ambiguous and enjoyable. This beautiful disaster of fruit, candy, and sweetness is perfect for me, because it's potent in its flavour, yet doesn't seem to fade too bad on an extended time of vaping.

It is hard to just name a few things I have been vaping this week as I change flavors so often. These past few days I have been vaping my Raspberry Cookie Bar and Wayne's Quikk one shot from liquid barn and a bunch of cantaloupe single flavors getting ready for Noted next week.

Watermelon Lemonade and my next attempt at Cool Mango clone.

Watermelon lemonade is suuuper simple which shouldn't really be a shocker... http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2410447/watermelon%20lemonade

As far as the Cool Mango clone is concerned I am still working on it, it has a lot of Jackfruit because that is definitely the predominate flavor in the original rather than mango but still trying to figure out how to balance out everything else that goes with it. I am guessing I need to tone both the jackfruit and mango components down a bit at this point and figure out some other tropical fruit that the mix is missing to balance it out... http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2383044/Cool+mango

I’ve been vaping Strawberry Marshmallow Cereal by ELaw and these 3 different variations of

sucker punch clones I made ( I adapted ). Sorry I’m link challenged so here they are:

p.s. I let SMC steep a few wk and the 3 sp steep a month as was recommended so I can’t say how they are SnV...;)

Strawberry Marshmallow Cereal by E Law

FA

Almond .5% Vienna Cream 1% Meringue 1%

FW

Yellow Cake 1% Capella Sugar Cookie 5% Vanilla Custard 2%

TPA

Strawberry Ripe 4% Vanilla Swirl 4%

Inawera

Marzipan .5%

Sucker Punch clones V1

TPA

Bavarian Cream 2% Dragon Fruit 14% Vanilla Swirl 4%

This is the original and I made it for making its sake even w DF @14% because the amount of positive reviews could not be denied. My other variations I do prefer but they’re all tasty. Yes tasty, 😩😂, unfortunately is the best it gets as I have no biz reviewing recipes where words are required because I taste “good”, “bad”, “ yuck”...and shit like that unfortunately so I can’t tell u why I like the others better specifically, ...cuz I just can’t.

My V2

Purilum

Bavarian Cream 4%

TPA

Dragon Fruit 7% Vanilla Swirl 1%

V3

JF
Bavarian Cream 2%

TPA

Dragon Fruit 5% Vanilla Swirl 1%

Purilum

Marshmallow 1%

That’s not all I’m vaping but when I figure it out I’ll edit this and post the recipes....and who the clone recipe came from on ELR. p.s.s. I don’t format worth a darn, I tried to edit and it looks different than what I see. WFE...haaa I’ll try to fix it later when I have another hour ...😩😂

Pineapple cheesecake

7% Cap New York cheese cake v2 3% FW pineapple ( just what I have on hand)

Steep for two days and the pineapple is shining through but not getting much cheesecake. Gone through 30ml in 2 days...

What can I make with cap sweet strawberry without hanging around strawberry ripe... Since I am low on that.

Waiting for sydneyvapour to have a bloody sale so I can get more flavor concentrate...

4 points
 
by MasterBeernutsover 7 years ago

All these recipes contain CAP Sweet Strawberry

If you're not getting much cheesecake out of CAP NY CC, try these others you can get in Australia: LA Cheesecake, TFA Cheesecake (Graham Cracker) or FW Cheesecake.

Another method is to use TFA Cheesecake (Graham Cracker) at around 4% combined with LA Cream Cheese Icing (anywhere between 0.75-1.5%).

Or, what I like to do is use CAP NY CC @ 4%, LA Cheesecake @ 2%... and then think about adding things like LA CCI @ 0.5%, FW Graham Cracker @ 1% depending on whether you'd like it more bitey/biscuity etc.

JuiceFactory is another very good Aussie concentrate seller.

by propouover 7 years ago

Thank you, I will try and learn how to use that website.

Gone through and see alot of great recipes but they use way too many flavors haha.

Think I will go and try this one first : CBD Strawberry Custard

Don't have much concentrate with me yet(just started diying). Will have a look at juiceFactory but sydney vapour Cap flavor seems cheaper and buying from 1 place saves shipping.

1 points
 
by juthincover 7 years agoOne of "The Damned"

Remember, tho... flavors you use @1% and flavors you use @ 8% aren't reasonable to compare price per.ml of concentrate. Compare prices at cost per.ml of mix of that concentrate.

I can't stop vaping the Virginia Blend by Oil4Vap (Spanish brand) at 3mg nic. And this week I bought from the same company the ry4 flavor because I NEED to know how it tastes! I'm running out of bottles so I have to make something with the chocolate (too...parfumey) and the coffee one too. The coffee isn't a big problem, as stand-alone is tasty, and hubby and I we love coffee.

I have been vaping a lot on a recipe that I morphed from an ELR recipe called Strawberry Lemonade by JohnMc. I added CAP Double Watermelon which I find is a good middle of the road background Watermelon flavor, WS-23 (ECX 30&#37; concentrate) for icy coolness, and little CAP Super Sweet because I like a sweet lemonade. I posted the recipe on ATF: Strawmelonade

I’ve been vaping a nice papaya lemonade I am working on. When I develop recipes, I usually mix several variations at once, but the base is essentially this-

FLV Papaya Punch 0.5-1.0 LA Lemonade 0.25-0.5 LA Key Lime 0.25

Some of the directions this recipe has taken involve FLV Lychee, Wild Melon, or Berry Blend as accents.

Never used LA Lemonade at such a low percentage, does it still have that lingering lemonade-ish taste when used that low?

1 points
 
by Prometheus_unwoundover 7 years ago

Yeah, that “let’s see what happens if I just eat this CountryTime powder” sensation. It’s still really forward at 0.5, but not nearly as cloying. It mates up really well w/ LA Key Lime to make a juicier flavor, imo.

by thascarecroover 7 years ago

3% TFA strawberry and 3% TFA honeydew with a hint of 1% marshmallow and 1% cantaloupe. I'll probably add some pear and key lime next time since i think it needs some tart to be an A.

I grabbed the Jungle Flavor sample pack from EcigExpress during their last Black Friday sale which included Honey Peach - Peach being a flavor I never thought about trying. After a few experiments I've come up with what I'm currently calling "Peach Thing", which I'm really loving.

Flavor | % --------------------------|-------- JF Honey Peach | 4.5% CAP Sweet Cream | 2.0% FA Honey | 1.0% FA White Grape | 1.0% FA Ylang Ylang | 0.5%

I've been going back and vaping some of my older recipes that I haven't had in a while. I'm falling in love all over again with Dragon Cream. As you might expect it's mostly dragonfruit and various creams but with a splash of ripe strawberry (tfa) and pineapple (also tfa).

Edit: spelling

can you give me the recipe?

1 points
 
by BurtMaclin11over 7 years ago

It was the very first recipe I ever finished with the tfa starter kit I ordered so all the flavorings are Tfa.

Dragon fruit - 6% Strawberries and Cream - 4% Bavarian cream - 2% Pineapple - .5% Coconut fruit - 2%

One day I might get around to tweaking this since I've only ever tried making it with the tfa flavorings. Plus since this was my first ever "successful" recipe I also might have over flavored it. I've gone back and reduced %'s on some of my other recipes and it really breathed life into them. Hope you like it!

Edit: formatting on mobile is a pain. Sorry in advance.
