INW Custard + FLV Eggnog sit nicely together as the base for this recipe. INW Custard is a thick, rich vanilla cream custard that is very malleable. FLV Eggnog is a banger. It's creamy smooth and has wonderful cinnamon and nutmeg notes. I could vape this alone and be satisfied. But, let's bring in the support vanilla. DIYFS Holy Vanilla is something I hope you are all familiar with. It's a dark, spiced vanilla that really melds nicely into the creams and falls in line with our end goal. Spiciness+Custard. Next up a support cream, FA Catalan Cream. It's got a nice vanilla note, an almost caramel-like sweetness, it's bright and creamy, has some cinnamon spice, and a touch of citrus. This worked surprisingly well with the eggnog and custard base to accentuate what was already there. I used CAP Graham Cracker for a light buttery crunch and texture, and some more cinnamon. Lots of spices in this one. Lastly I added some TFA Kentucky Bourbon. This is a pretty obvious pairing for the eggnog. At this percentage it adds some maltiness, some warmth, a bit of vanilla, and really helps tie this whole thing together. Finito! Hope you guys enjoy this Spiced Custard, it’s a nice change from my regular bakeries and vanilla cream recipes.
This looks amazing! Might need to get some of these flavors!
FLV Eggnog is one of my favorites. I don't use FA Catalan cream a ton but it definitely has it's place and applications. HV is a must have if you don't have it. Kentucky Bourbon is awesome in tons of different bakeries.

Impropriety + Papaya + Tea
A refreshing iced tea with sweet papaya syrup.
SkiddlzNinja did it first. Check out his Tenacious T recipe. It was the inspiration for this though I haven't tried it yet; I just wanted to try a simpler mix of papaya and tea first. When I saw Tenacious T, the combination of TFA's Sweet Tea and Papaya looked like a stroke of genius, just imagining the way they'd taste together. But possibly a mild challenge to pull off, since one of those is a brutal bully that can easily get way too funky and the other is a shrinking violet. This is just a simple recipe that celebrates that combination.
I'm surprised there aren't more recipes using TFA Sweet Tea out there. Is my taster broken? As best I can tell, it does a fine job of emulating that sort of fast food drive thru sweet tea flavor. The only problem is that it's ridiculously weak in more ways than one. First, it takes about 6 or 7% of it to taste like much of anything at all. I could easily see needing 15% in a recipe. But at TFA prices, I'm not terribly worried about that. A bigger problem is that it can easily get almost completely obliterated in a mix. "I know I put a ton of Sweet Tea in here, where'd it go?" Accoutrements must be added carefully .
TFA Papaya is the opposite, much stronger in concentration than most TFA flavors and prone to pushing other flavors around. And getting violently FUNKY. Just like a real, ripe, papaya. Careful not to spill it on anything. Papaya for weeks if you do. Starting at 1% and working up 0.1% at a time until it's too much, then backing down, is my approach to taming this beast. Even at 1.4% it mostly overpowers the tea, but so would putting papaya syrup in a tea unless it's a hearty brew.
FA Apricot does a fantastic job of propping up the Papaya fruitiness without increasing the funk or calling too much attention to itself. FA Pear/INW Cactus 0.25% each just a touch of sweet and wet juicy goodness, but not too much of either.
Optional: Add Sweetener and/or Coolant to taste. I've been enjoying this with 0.25% FW Sweetener but I live in the southern USA where sweet tea is SWEET. Speaking of the South, WS-23. It's so hot and I needed another cool, refreshing recipe. I like it with this at 0.75% as an "over ice" type versus "frozen solid" amount of coolant, but coolant tolerance varies from one person to the next.
Give a mix and let me know what you think Or better yet, use a ludicrous-looking amount of TFA Sweet Tea and relatively small dose of your fruit of choice and make your own fruity sweet ice tea to help get you though the rest of summer.
I was looking for a really light tea to float some cherry blossom on. This could be it. I have a recipe that I did long ago that was good, but not what I was going for.
Even though it doesn’t have any actual cooling effect, it has the unique character of tea served over ice. I wouldn’t try to make something like a warm cherry blossom tea out of it. But if you wanted to make an iced tea with cherry blossom flavor, go for it. I’m curious how cherry blossom will be with some coolant as I’ve never tried that, if you decide to work it in.
This looks really interesting. I'm missing a few of the flavours but I'm determined to find a use for papaya where it doesn't taste awful.
As a side note, is there a papaya flavour that tastes a bit more authentic?
FA Papaya, I wouldn’t call it more authentic, but it is less likely to be offensive. Tastes kind of like a papaya cantaloupe hybrid and isn’t nearly as funky and musky as TFAs.
If authentic is what you’re looking for, avoid FLV Papaya Punch. I think it’s pretty yummy, but it actually tastes more like an odd take on peach rings candy than actual papaya.
looks great, man. I'm only missing the sweetener. I do have cap ss. should i go without or a recomendation on amounts? Would love to take this on vacay next week.
I made this one with Cap SS as well. I think I used one or two drops for a 25ml. That stuff is super potent for my taste. I alsofind it gunks up pretty quickly so I generally go very light on it, regardless of the recommended amount. You can always add more in later, but you can't take it out.
Try 0.2 or 0.15 SS. Or whatever you usually find yourself enjoying for a small and hopefully unobtrusive yet satisfying amount of Sucralose. Less than you might use in a candy recipe, for sure.
I only got the SS for my brother who's tastes are all in the Golden State Vapors Bananas Foster range. He calls my mixes "dirt". I have to mix at 2% SS for him to like anything. What's FW sweetness like? I'm not the biggest fan of the fake sucralose taste but I have to admit it does add something on occasion (at 0.1 - 0.5 %). I think I'm mixing up both of these yours and the tenacious T. I gotta try any drink that has CT shade in it.
So... duh, I realized after I mixed yours and was halfway through the Tenacious T mix that I have FA Papaya not TFA. So i guess I subbed 1:1 for yours and decided to scale it back a little for the tenacious T, just in case, down to 1%. From what I can tell FA is more authentic and TFA a bit sweeter and more powerful? Is that true? Plus, I heavy handed the T with base by at least 2g on a 30 so yeah. First world problems. I also want to note I mixed this with cap super sweet at about 0.3% (heavy handed again).
That in mind, I have to say, all of your mixes I've tried have been so wonderfully balanced. honestly, it's really amazing to see. Is it a combination of knowing your flavors and experimentation? anyway, the mango sits so perfectly in the middle here, it's unreal. I've had the mango now in a few mixes that were very different (abuela, mango blossom macaron, mango tea) and it always seems to 'pop' up at different times vaping it obtrusively. On this one, it literally sits squarely in the middle wrapped in an ice cold blanket of ws-23. Which is at the upper limit of how much I'd ever used for this coolant. The sweet tea is there, but not dry like fa black tea at even 1%. Like a good balance would strike, I keep pulling because I want more of it, not because it's not enough. Even with the mistaken FA papaya sub, the fruits blend nicely (so if that's all you have, dont be scurred). i like menthols and can see dropping the ws-23 a hair and adding a few drops of menthol instead for a minty version. Off the shake the cold is pretty cold for me. I've found ws-23 dies down a bit quickly in general so I'm curious of what will happen after a few 24 hours. definitely a good time summer vape. As for sweetness, the cap ss i think may have filled in the gaps if the TFA is indeed a sweeter papaya than FA. if not, it still blended in nicely to compliment the sweetness here. I love any mix that is playable and I think this one is like a strapon in that we'll see some versions that play with the fruits and flavors for a while. hopefully with a slew of clever names to boot.
Out of curiosity, how does TFA Sweet Tea compare to OSDIY Southern Sweet Tea, assuming you've tried it? (I have to dig through my collection and see if I have the TFA one, it's not something my usual places ever had in stock that I recall.)
I haven't. I've somehow managed to collect 1,100 flavors but my OSDIY experience is limited to just Blue Raspberry Slushie and Lucky Shot.
Update: tenacious T is slamming but a whole different beast altogether. First taste.
Edit: fantastic use of ct shade. Also, my bro likes the impapaiety. Which says quite a bit.

TPA Banana Cream @ 1.5%
PUR Butter Pecan @ 3.5%
CAP Cereal 27 @ 2.75%
FLV Cookie @ 0.3%
INW Shisha Vanilla @ 0.5%
I just want to say that I love PUR Butter Pecan. It's buttery and rich, and it blows FW Butter Pecan out of the water. Last winter was when I really started playing around with it, and my go-to recipe was PUR Butter Pecan @ 4%, CAP Cereal 27 @ 2.5%, and INW Shisha Vanilla @ 1%. It's a very simple, flavorful cereal mix, but I got bored with it. I'm not huge on banana flavors, but I have a soft spot for TFA's Banana Cream, and I had an inkling that it would go great with the aforementioned mix. I first added it in at 1%, and I dropped the Shisha Vanilla down to 0.5% to prevent things from getting too creamy. It ended up working out really well, and the end result reminded me of those sticky, baked cereal bars. It was lacking in body, though, so I increased the Cereal 27 to 3%. This helped, but things still weren't as dense or as rich as I would have liked. I know one of the biggest complaints about FLV Cookie and Cookie Dough is the maple off-notes, but I knew that quality was exactly what I wanted. I dropped Cereal 27 to 2.75% and added FLV Cookie at 0.3%. The cookie is faint, but it gives a perfect amount of a baked, dense type taste. My final change was dropping the Butter Pecan to 3.5%. It was just a bit too rich at 4% for my liking, and it was overshadowing the cereal element.
PUR Butter Pecan with Cereal 27 provides a very buttery, rich, glazed cereal taste. The Shisha Vanilla adds a really rich mouthfeel, and it keeps things from getting too banana-heavy. The banana taste is obviously present, but it's not "in your face" noticeable (it's definitely more of a subtle, baked banana note). Everything comes together nicely and is good to go after about two days.
I've fallen in love with TPA banana cream recently. I bought it for a milkshake flavor that I wound up vaping a 250ml bottle of in two weeks. I saw this while scrolling and was just hoping I could substitute some of the flavors I don't have. I think i can substitute butter pecan for FLV praline (maybe... I've barely worked with it, but I've got it), and cereal 27 with flv crunch cereal. But I don't have the shisha vanilla or anything I can really replace it with. I'll let ya know how the attempt goes in like two days, but I've got my doubts. I'll probably end up buying the missing flavors on my next order, simply because I want more recipes with that banana.
I've not tried FLV Praline, so I couldn't tell you one way or another how that'll work. I think Shisha Vanilla is a pretty distinct vanilla, but it doesn't sit in the forefront of the recipe so it could be subbed for something similar with success. Not having the Cereal 27 will definitely change it, but it's entirely possible that your changes will work out. Let me know, though! Even if others aren't crazy in love with a recipe, I like being able to at least provide a starting point for something of your own.
And boy oh boy, I feel ya on the Banana Cream. I'm not a huge fan of artificial banana flavors, so I stayed away from almost all banana concentrates until recently. Banana Cream is so good, though, and I've been throwing it in so many different recipes (it's amazing with Juicy Peach!). What's your milkshake recipe?!

This is a tobacco and cedar forward RY4 recipe. It ain’t the kind of RY4 that’s going to remind you of grandma’s cookies or anything like that.
EF Orient Tobacco Black: Strong cedar note. Like when you open an old cedar chest and breathe in that strong, musty cedar scent. It’s a taste I never realized I was missing in DIY until I got some of the Euro Flavor tobaccos.
Black Fire: Why not burn that cedar a little bit? Give it some bite.
Black for Pipe: You know I just gotsta throw it in there to up the tobacco and bring a less intense smokiness to it than Black Fire brings.
RY4 Double: Pairs well with a stronger tobacco to mellow things out a little, but doesn’t lose the bite. Using the JF here to get away with a shorter steep time, and also because it’s just a bit cleaner and works better with real tobaccos. Doesn’t seem as sweet to me.
Vanilla Ruyan Custard: Has a bit of bite of its own with some nice vanilla notes. Good body as well.
This one seems to be good to go fairly quickly. After about three days the Black Fire and Cedar mellow out a considerable amount, and it gets smoother from there.

I was working with another mixer, leptest, on a raspberry/currant profile. He went another direction. This is what I ended up with.
FA Blackcurrant is dominant here, turning the raspberries darker and highlighting the show. It sits on top here very well.
INW Raspberry/TFA Raspberry Sweet gives us a pretty potent Raspberry with a little bit of sweetness (EM) to tone down the floral notes a bit.
INW Shisha Strawberry brings more berry sweetness to the base and keeps the mix interesting, giving it that certain something.
FA Pear is here for juiciness and to lighten things up. I find that it keeps a leash on the syrupy side of Shisha Strawberry.
FE Lemon here in a tiny amount helps to lift and brighten the berries just a smidge.
I like this without sweetener and/or coolant. This mix is really great with a little koolada or WS-23 though.
This recipe is right up my alley! I've been mixing with CAP Blackcurrant lately... the smell is amazing and I knew i had to do something with it. Think CAP Blackcurrant would be okay here? As much as i love INW Raspberry, idk if i could handle 2%, that stuff has a very powerful note in it of some kind thats cloying for me. Lemon and pear are awesome additions too!
This looks awesome, I actually haven't used my blackcurrant since I bought it but I've been wanting to. I'm a berries fiend but a lot of concentrates can be overpowering, the balance here seems nice. I'll mix this up tonight to try, do you have any comments on the steep?
This recipe is already in the "What are you vaping?" thread but liked it so much that I decided to publish it. It's my newly found love of an old flavour, CAP Cake Batter. It sure divides opinion but am loving it at the moment. Might eventually get sick of it, you never know. Used some old-school ingredients to mix it up.

That's crazy. I've been out of work and supplies are getting low. So last night I grabbed what I thought would go good together with what I have left and every one of those ingredients minus Vanilla Swirl are sitting on my coffee table right now lmao.
Boo I don't have the cream cheese icing : / I've been finally starting to get some good stuff out of Sugar Cookie so I'm less afraid of mixing with it. I have been wondering about going in on a frosted cinnamon bun and I am guessing that icing would work perfectly so may have to grab a bottle.

A refreshing peach lemonade. This was inspired by DIYORDIE's Strawberry Kiwi Cucumber Lemonade recipe. I wanted something refreshing to vape during the summer time and when I saw Wayne's recipe I knew it had to be a lemonade vape.
CAP Juicy Lemon/FA Lemon Sicily: I used this lemonade base because I really enjoyed it in Wayne's recipe.
FA White Peach: I was originally using TFA Juicy Peach but I got too much of a gummy vibe from it, so I tried out FA White Peach. I found it was the perfect peach for this recipe, as it isn't overpowering and it doesn't distract you from the lemonade notes. 1% was enough for me to be able to taste the peach while not overpowering the lemonade.
FW Pink Lemonade: I wanted more of a "tangy" edge to the lemonade, and I remembered FW Pink Lemonade being a bit more on the sour side so I decided to try it with this recipe and I really enjoyed it. I find that at 4% it provides the tang I want but it doesn't take away from the other lemon notes.
TFA Dragonfruit: I wanted the peach and the lemon to taste like they were thrown in a blender, and TFA Dragonfruit does just that. .5% because I don't want any of the dragonfruit flavor, just the flavor mixing properties that it brings to the table.
FA Polar Blast/CAP Super Sweet: During the summer I enjoy a cooler vape, and for the most part I enjoy sweetened fruits. Feel free to skip these.
Holy Trinity Ice Cream
|FA - Bilberry|.25%| |:-|:-| |FW - Blueberry|1%| |TFA - Blueberry (Extra)|1.5%| |TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust)|.25%| |FLV - Cream|.5%| |CAP - New York Cheesecake|.5%| |TFA - Vanilla Swirl|1%| |WS-23|.5%| |INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|1%|
Notes:
The INW - Yes, We Cheesecake is the best cheesecake flavor available and creates the base for the trinity. Capella - New York Cheesecake is the first support flavor, bringing an additional note of caramelized sugar for the crust, adding some serious creaminess, and opening the bridge to vanilla flavors a bit more. Lastly, the TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust) completes the crusty undertone portion of the trinity and adds another hint of dairy. This trio can be used in any capacity to add an authentic and delicious cheesecake profile to a recipe. It's okay in a SNV, but I really suggest waiting about a week for it to come together.
This recipe was inspired by the MixenVixens blueberry ice cream recipes. It utilizes EdibleMalfunction's Holy Trinity of Blueberry. I specifically picked Rin's Blueberry Ice Cream recipe as the inspiration for this, because she mixes at low percentages, and it really demonstrates the versatility of the cheesecake trinity. My favorite ice cream base is a combination of FLV Cream and vanilla, found in both Rin's Recipe and Longing. FLV Cream is a bit hard for me to summarize, other than by saying it's an incredible cream flavor and should be added to everything. Vanilla Swirl is the most common vanilla, with a smooth and unobtrusive vanilla taste and a ridiculous amount of body. FA Bilberry adds an awesome depth and muskiness that helps combat the muting effect of vanilla swirl, and it should always be used at a low percentage if you don't want to end up in Funky Town. FW Blueberry brings the blueberry flavor to the top with a bold somewhat-artificial flavor. TFA Blueberry (Extra) is a natural blueberry that helps tie into the ice cream seamlessly. You can try this with or without the WS-23, it was added because ice cream is cold.
Waterberry
Profile: Juicy and authentic watermelon mixed with a combination of red berries
|Flavor|%| |:-|:-| |FLV Watermelon|4| |FLV Wild Melon|1.5| |TPA Dragonfruit|0.75| |FA Forest Fruit|1| |TPA Honeydew|0.3| |CAP Harvest Berry|1.5| |CAP Super Sweet|0.15|
Total: 9.2%
FLV Watermelon / FLV Wild Melon - I find FLW Watermelon a very forgiving flavour. It can be used at low percentages as an additive role or as the main role. At 4%, stays right at the front note without messing the overall balance of the profile. It's the only watermelon I enjoy because it's authentic, juicy and doesn't fade so much especially at this percentage. Next, FLV Wild Melon to give a little more body to the Watermelon itself.
TPA Dragonfruit / TPA Honeydew - Both flavours make this profile even juicier and TPA Dragonfruit helps a lot here creating a bond between the watermelon and the berries.
FA Forest Mix / CAP Harvest Berry - Both percentages for my taste are just enough to be present in this profile. If I go higher, I start to get plastic off-notes especially with CAP Harvest Berry. Combined, the blackcurrant and the raspberry are present while the blueberry and the strawberry note stays right at the back being slightly present aswell.
CAP Super Sweet - Optional here but in this case, creates a more full mouthfeel.
hey, this looks great. I've made similar juices trying to get close to a berry/watermelon/apple juice called hulk tears and I liked all of my misses since I enjoy this profile. For yours, i'm missing the star of the show, FLV WM, but have the rest. Well, I have tfa honeydew II. for WM I have: RF WM, CAP WM sweet, OneDrop WM, FA WM, and TFA WM candy. Had you tried any of those?
this looks really good but I also am missing the FLV watermelon. I do have 7 watermelon flavors: Flavors in stash: 243
Double Watermelon (Cap) Red Summer (Watermelon) (FA) Sweet Watermelon (Cap) Watermelon (LA) Watermelon (Purilum) Watermelon (TPA) Watermelon Candy (TPA)
do you think any of these might get me in the ballpark?
I want to try this but I'm scared of the Wild Melon, not all melons sit well with me but I love watermelon and I've had a handfull of commercial watermelon juices that I love so now I'm on the quest to figure out how the hell they do it... I picked up LA Watermelon and INW Watermelon recently and both disappointed me, resulting in juice that I had to dump half way through, at least it was only 30mL! I'm on the hunt to try more, I've been trying to be more selective with my flavoring purchases due to my overflowing stash but when you want something, you want something right? When you say authentic watermelon do you mean tastes like taking a big bite out of the pink center or some sort of combination of a bite right at the end of a slice with a bit of the white in there?
Hi, this is my first comment in this group, I am glad I found a chance to get maybe an idea from you, what I could change on your fantastic smelling recipe. So I mixed this a week ago on a 80%VG 20%H2O Base because of my PG Sensitivy (not sure, if this word Sensitivy even exists, hope you know what I mean though). I am vaping on a Innokin Ares MTL with 1ohm. I think the mixture smells so good but I can hardly taste what I am smelling. My thoughts would rather go towards stepping up all the flavours for about 0,5% ...what do you think? Can this work für a MTL Juice?

Coconut Rice Cream
Description: Coconut rice ice cream with subtle peach and strawberry notes.
This recipe was developed with a focus on contrasting the earthiness of horchata, coconut and shisha vanilla against the sharper flavors of peach and strawberry; an ice cream foundation serves to balance these two.
There is no mango in this yet is reminiscent of mango while not having too strong an emphasis on either the peach or strawberry. Good as a shake and vape.

Cap Sweet Strawberry / Fa Forest Fruit The Sweet Strawberry adds to the candy feel of the recipe and the Forest Fruit adds a little dark berry depth.
Wf Sour Watermelon A great candy watermelon and the main note here. I guess you could use La Watermelon here if you wanted , but I've come to prefer this one for a candy watermelon.
Tpa Vanilla Swirl Just enough to add a bit of creamy vanilla and round out everything.
I add a drop of Cap ss per 10 ml.

Canada.
I had this FW for a year lol. Wasn't my thing but was highly rated. Finally got a use for it!
The other highly rated FW was salted caramel which I got. Paired with TFA Apple decently. Have FA Fuji coming in this week and going to do a v2 with that and perhaps TFA brown sugar at 0.5%
Voodoo is a Jamaican rum and cola and it is just slammin'.
Voodoo started life as a cola base to which I could later use for 'whatever' but after tasting the cola I was immediately compelled to throw some FA Jamaican Rum and FLV Sweet Coconut at it and call it done - to have done otherwise would've been criminal.
The cola was built from the ground-up using only simple flavorings – much the same way as making a real cola drink from scratch – with the exceptions of CAP Horchata and TFA Orange Cream Bar; the latter being the only orange flavor I had available.
I spent quite some time researching the individual chemical compounds that, when combined, form a commercially available cola flavor product. The MSDS specification sheet listed each flavor molecule and it was this that I used as a template to build from and using this template as a starting point I then set about improvising with what I had on hand attempting to mimic each of the individual flavor compounds; e.g. FLV Fire Cinnamon used to approximate Cinnamyl cinnamate (3-phenylprop-2-enyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate), FA Cinnamon Ceylon used in place of Cinnamaldehyde (3-phenylprop-2-enal), and so on... I had no lemon (listed as Citrus limon (L.) Burm extract) so simply used JF Grape Super Concentrate as they share many properties of citrus fruits, though not necessarily flavor, but I was more after the tart acidic zing of citric acid, that in hindsight, I suppose I could have easily used instead. An ingredient that initially posed a problem was Eugenol (2-methoxy-4-prop-2-enylphenol) used in flavor chemistry to impart the woody spiciness of clove – I chose to use CAP Horchata for this reason and I think it works well. I did not add any caramel to the cola base however FA Jamaican Rum provides a certain caramel quality and this was both coincidental and fortuitous as it did not occur to me until suggested on a Reddit forum. If I were to use the cola base for something else I would likely add caramel or brown sugar and subtract the coconut and rum. But as it stands the cola base is still very vapable...
I'm sure rum and cola has been done to death but this is just next level good plus it was heaps of fun to develop; not including research time the entire thing only took a few hours before it was in a tank and I experienced the most exciting vape I’ve had.
Oh, and its a great shake-n-vape that becomes fuller after the first week.
I've been asked about JF Grape Super Concentrate*. I think it might be an Australian company and I do not remember where I got mine, but any standard good quality grape could be subbed I'm guessing.*

Lemon Curd Cheesecake
​
|TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust)|1%| |:-|:-| |FE - Lemon|3%| |CAP - New York Cheesecake|2%| |INW - Shisha Vanilla |.5%| |CAP - Super Sweet|.5%| |LB - Vanilla Ice Cream|2%| |INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|3%|
Notes:
The INW - Yes, We Cheesecake is the best cheesecake flavor available and creates the base for the cheesecake trinity. Capella - New York Cheesecake is the first support flavor, bringing an additional note of caramelized sugar for the crust, adding some serious creaminess, and opening the bridge to vanilla flavors a bit more. Lastly, the TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust) completes the crusty undertone portion of the trinity and adds another hint of dairy. This trio can be used in any capacity to add an authentic and delicious cheesecake profile to a recipe. It's okay in a SNV, but I really suggest waiting about a week for it to come together.
I used FE Lemon because I've tried various combinations of other lemon top notes that just do not work as well. This lemon flavor is a very sweet and non-invasive one that works in dessert applications magically. I originally purchased it to mix dazcole's lemon tart recipe, and after single flavor testing it I can absolutely see why it was picked. A lemon curd would not be complete without eggs and butter, so I decided to use LB Vanilla Ice Cream for this. Not only does it bring the egg and butter required for the lemon curd, but it helps to connect the lemon curd to the cheesecake with vanilla notes and creamy texture. Lastly, INW Shisha Vanilla was added to bring a more distinct vanilla note to the cheesecake trinity. Sweetener is always optional.
​
Looks good, love to try this but I need so many things for this recipe. :-/
A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a recipe for Atlantic Beach Pie, super delicious. It's a real pie though, I'd love someone to convert that to a vape juice.
What made it special was that the crust was made from Salticrax (mixed with butter only). The rest of the recipe followed the norm I'd say, and crushed sea salt was sprinkled on top of the meringue.
Now salt works in some ways the same as MSG: it opens a lot of flavours up, and I see Five Pawns already has a "salt infused" range.
I really have no ideas what they do - add saline solution perhaps? Dissolve actual salt? When I heard of this the first thing I thought of was a salty lemon meringue, and salted caramel fudge brownie.
​
It’s a saline solution made from sea salt. All of the information I’ve gathered on its use indicates that it’s probably not worth it. It will form residue on your coils very quickly, and the effect is negligible. That being said, you can absolutely try to make a recipe with it, most people use a sterile saline solution found at a pharmacy or elsewhere, just make sure it doesn’t contain preservatives. There are also flavors that are known to impart a salty effect: WS-5 (Cooling Agent), FLV Cucumber, FLV Beer Nuts, FW Salted Caramel, and peanut butter flavors are the ones I’ve found.
Co. | Flavor | % ---|---|---- FLV | Mango | 4 CAP | Sweet Mango | 3 OTHR | WS-23 | 1.75 FA | Polar Blast | 1.5 FLV | Heat | 1.5 FLV | Apple Filling | 1.25 CAP | Jelly Candy | 1 TFA | Sweet and Tart | 0.5 CAP | Super Sweet| 0.5
Had to get this one posted while there's still time to force /u/Apexified to try it.
It's modeled after the tangy, sweet, and spicy frozen Mexican confection. Doesn't taste quite the same, but scratches the same itch for an icy spicy treat. I used both WS-23 and Polar Blast for a well-rounded inhale and exhale cooling, and lots of it.. For the spiciness of chamoy, there's FLV Heat and Apple Filling. The cinnamon in apple filling doesn't quite taste like cinnamon used so low with other strong ingredients, but it gives some body to the heat so it's not just disembodied capsaicin-type heat. The gooey apple part contributes to Jelly Candy and Sweet and Tart creating something reminiscent of the sweet and tangy part of chamoy. Jelly Candy also helps clean up some of CAP Sweet Mango's overripe nonsense. Super Sweet, like Apple Filling, also does double duty. Besides the obvious sweetening, it helps drag that Heat onto the lips and tongue and makes it linger, resulting a long-lasting fire and ice sensation. Finally the mangoes. I was surprised how much how much FLV Mango and CAP Sweet Mango it took stand up to all this other stuff, but with each new version I kept adding more and more until it worked. I also tried using VT Shisha Mango but it was too piney that didn't play well with the rest of the mix.
I had to laugh - just logged on and saw this and was just about to post something very similar lol. This looks very delicious.
Island Pog @ummy Gum
I'm posting this with a "code name" title for those in the know.
Gotten from a foreign website posted by LDPLN.
I have both vapes continuously in my rotation. When I first found this recipe, I vaped it, along with the other in this post, none stop for two months. Got such a nice tart, sweet smoothie thing going on.
2 Passion Fruit fa
6 Sweet Guava ca
2 Sweet Tangerine ca
4 Juicy Orange ca
.5 Dragonfruit pa
.5 Super Sweet ca or 1 sweet pa. I use sweet because I heard super has preservatives.
This one is more of a candy type vape. It's just as good in its own right. More one dimensional but great for what it is. Yummy bearish.
1.75 Cactus ina
6 Green Goblin fw
2 Gummy Bear fw
2.75 Papaya pa
1.5 Strawberry Ripe pa
.5 Super Sweet 1 Sweet pa
Mixing notes. I use 100% VG and let the flavoring add the pg. 70/30 would probably bring out a bit more flavor but I get enough using what I use.
Nice recipes, thanks for sharing! These look to be right up my alley. One thing tho- I think the abbreviations you used for the flavor companies may be confusing for some, especially newbies who may not be familiar with the flavorings yet. For example, "pa" is usually "tfa or tpa". Changing them may save you answering a lot of questions. I'll try these recipes and let you know what I think. Thanks!
Interesting I never mixed this with Juicy Orange, I think it was with Passionfruit instead and I liked it a lot, I've been wanting to supplement my orange flavorings because all I have right now is Sweet Tangerine, maybe I'll have to pick it up and try this variant. Do you know if Juicy Orange has the same issue as some other orange flavors where they melt plastic tanks/orings?
I haven't yet decided on a name for this one but have really liked it so far. Its great as a shake and vape, I have not yet let a bottle last longer than a week so I am not sure of how it will taste after steeping. I'm open to name suggestions if anyone has one?

Chocolat Éclair
Sacrebleu!
This is my first attempt creating the custard-filled chocolate covered pastry loved universally - the chocolate éclair - and I think quite an accurate rendition considering it non-trivial in balancing the very different custard and chocolate fondant flavors with the unusual, almost stale, quality that is choux pastry, and without any of them clashing or becoming muddied into oblivion.
The chocolates I used are my least favorite flavors I currently have and have proven (on many an occasion) difficult to make anything half descent that doesn't end up being forgotten, nay neglected, in the cupboard of shame, but together with FA Joy, AP, and CAP Glazed Doughnut they take on an entirely new character that shouts "chocolate éclair" from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
And after being left to it's own devices for a week the only thing I feel missing is the soft crunch of the choux pastry... and the calories.

3drops in 120ml of my Stevia leaf extract
Would love to know your method of pre-steeping
I create a 20% flavor mix in an 8oz+ bottle. Usually at 3mg but that can over-complicate your final mix strength.
Label and date the bottle
After some weeks/months it will be ready for use. If a recipe calls for 2% VBIC, I actually add 10% v/v
Using a 5x ratio makes the math easy to do on the fly.
Trying to follow this, still a new mixer.
Are you saying you do 20% concentrate, nic, and remaining %, what, VG? And you mix in flat 2% or mix up to 2% of what the concentrate should be, factoring in the VG/nic from your presteep to the total VG/nic of the final batch? I've heard of similar strategies but usually not mixing the nic up front to avoid oxidation.
Presteeped?
I mix 240ml at 1:5 for my creams and flavors that mature well.
Then use 5x in my recipes for volume.
It's a trick I use to get shake + vapes with bright fruit flavors and not have immature underlying flavors
Simon's Almond Cookie Deluxe
This is a light and easy to vape almond cookie with vanilla frosting. Check out the DIYorDIE recipe review.

- 3.50% - CAP Sugar Cookie v2
- 2.00% - TFA Vanilla Swirl
- 1.50% - FA Almond
- 1.00% - CAP Vanilla Cupcake v2
- 1.00% - FLV Cinnamon Crunch

- 0.50% - FW Hazelnut
- 0.25% - INW Marzipan Yummy Classic
Mix it up here (mix button in the top right corner).
Flavor notes
CAP Sugar Cookie is at the heart of this recipe. I only use it at 3.5% to not overpower the rest of the flavors.
TFA Vanilla Swirl is the vanilla component, kept well below 3% to avoid an artificial/clinical taste. Complemented with CAP Vanilla Cupcake.
INW Shisha Vanilla and FLV Cinnamon Crunch give the recipe a delicious spicy note.
The almond component is constructed with FA Almond, FW Hazelnut and INW Marzipan. It's a great combination that works well in this context.
FA Meringue make the recipe light and fresh without using dairy. I tried the recipe without Meringue, and interestingly, it completely changes its flavor profile for the worse. It's essential in the mix.
Steep time
This recipe works surprisingly well as a shake and vape, but one week is suggested.

Good evening!
This is a v2 mod that was waiting for my INW Raspberry delivery. Main base is good, but needs elevation 😏
Red Velvet
TFA Ruby Chocolate 7%
TFA Acai 2%
FA Cacao 1.5%
INW Malina Raspberry 1.2%
TFA VBIC 1%
First got the FA and liked how it helped deepen the chocolate flavor. Still felt like it could have a better counterpoint, Acai helped a lot, but then I got mah INW.... Jackpot!
Hope you like!
Could we just sub some amount of FA Black Pepper (or maybe Perique Black) for the VBIC? What's it's purpose in the mix?
I am a vanilla addict :P
Think I also use it because it's a premix base that is quite mature now. So it's part of my experiment on 'adding a mature starter to fresh mix'
Dunno if it will help catalyze the steeping of the mix, but will see how it performs. Certainly difficult to quantify tho... Lol
Grand Marnier Mousse
- FA Brandy 2%
- CAP Custard v1 2%
- TFA Orange Cream Bar 2%
- TFA Honeysuckle 0.1%
- CAP Horchata 0.1%
- FA Fresh Cream 0.5%
Another TFA Orange Cream Bar styled recipe from the vault.
TFA Orange Cream Bar performs dual functions here - being the dominant flavor while simultaneously bridging the sharp acidity of the orange with the satisfying fullness of boozy cream custard. Cinnamon and floral honeysuckle brandy adds depth and a complex dimensional aspect that was otherwise lacking. My wife vaped the lot and I got none!
Today, I'm working on a menthol camel mix. So far I've come up with:
- HS Turkish Blended 4.5%
- FLV Oriental 1.5%
- FA Menthol Arctic 1.25%
- FLV Classic Cigarette 1%
- INW S'Camel 0.75%
- WS-23 0.5%
"A Camel Turkish Jade inspired mix, intended for a short-steep & MTL vape (Kayfun Prime for me specifically).
When you need a nice bacco vape quick, hangsen and FLV seem to be the ones to go for. I was considering HS Arabic but didn't want the fruity notes so much as just a camel-ish tobacco blend.
Opted for HS Turkish combined with a bit of FLV Oriental for a decently dynamic, leafy/spicy base to build around. FLV CC is bringing some of that ash note and adding a touch of a burley note to liven up the tobacco mix. A dash of menthol arctic and ws-23 for that nice mentholated effect. S'camel is simply an additive that brings some Ethyl Maltol and Acetyl Pyrazine here to subtly sweeten, soften, and add a touch of nutty/graininess to the recipe."
It's pretty good SNV in the KF. It's MTL so I'm not aiming for a super complex and nuanced mix. I just want a smoky, leafy, spiced tobacco base, that nice menthol touch, and the s'camel adds some sweet and nuttiness. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's a good vape and will get me through those times when I crave a smoke for sure. People tend to feel FLV tobaccos are best in the first few weeks, HS tobaccos are also nice early on but are definitely super-steepers and only get better in time. Hopefully that means this will remain pretty good in the first few weeks but I'm expecting the profile to change a bit as the weeks go on. I doubled up on coolant because I don't want the menthol to cover up the baccos and turn this into a "dirty mint gum", I wanted enough menthol to get that subtle flavor and let the ws-23 do the rest of the cooling. Worked out well.
Made my first mix 50/50, 8mg nic from Vaperstek. Phenomenal vape, perfect throat hit, little nose tingle and then a bit of a chill. Sometimes I taste dry tobacco, sometimes I get a touch of sweetness, sometimes a bit of nuttiness from the AP. It's a good profile, hoping time lets it meld together a bit more.
Hoping this one earns another /u/ChemicalBurnVictim seal of approval.
I’m liking how it looks besides the menthol part. The chillies give me the willies. Though I have always figured it’d be easier to get an authentic tasting menthol cigarette than a regular because all I ever tasted with menthols was the menthol. So I bet this would be pretty satisfying for someone that used to smoke menthols. I might give it a go with some tweaks because I don’t have ws23 or that menthol flavor, but I’ve got INW Tobacco Menthol and Polar Blast. Maybe HS Reno would fit nicely as well. That’s a pretty interesting menthol tobacco that I didn’t find too cold.
Luckily Arctic Winter/Menthol Arctic isn't too cold in comparison to what I usually vape. But it's a real clean and mellow menthol flavor IMO, so it fit right in. I guess the ws-23 is optional, but I didn't want the menthol high enough to blanket the whole thing so just used ws-23 to make up for that. On a nice and warm coil build it's performing pretty well, the tobacco and cigarette note comes through loud and clear and there's just a wisp of menthol taste and the tingly sensation at the end.
Not sure what you typically vape on equipment wise though, so might be a completely different experience for ya lol. I know at cooler power ranges/on coils with less heat the coolant can be way more powerful than on hotter ones.
Here's a simple one (in concept, anyway) that I'm not sure if I consider done, but what the hell.
-
TPA Berry Mix 1.0%
-
LA Cream Cheese Icing 1.0%
-
FA Custard 0.3%
-
FA Forest Fruit 0.75%
-
Cap Juicy Lemon 1%
-
INW Lemon 1%
-
CAP New York Cheesecake 5%
-
INW Shisha Vanilla 0.5%
-
CAP Vanilla Custard 0.5%
I've been working on some variation of this since I started mixing. I recently tried Simply Cheesecake and I like it better than the other cheesecake bases I've tried. So I added the lemon and the berries from another recipe and here you go. FA Forest Fruit is a nice berry flavor, but I think TFA Berry Mix hits similar notes and that they work well in combination. Meanwhile I like INW Lemon for a pretty straight lemon flavor that doesn't give me Lemon Pledge, and Cap Juicy Lemon gives a more juicy less sour lemon. All of this blends pretty well with the sweet, creamy cheesecake base.
There's stuff that might get tweaked here after I mull on it a little more. The lemon mostly just enhances the berries, which is what I intended. I debated only using FA Forest Fruit instead of both. I'm not entirely decided if I think the ratio of fruit to cheesecake is perfect here, but I think it will take longer steeping to be sure. Feel free to tweak to your own taste. Regardless I do really enjoy vaping this as is.
Something I've found useful for getting that cheesiness in those types of recipes beyond just custard or cream or icing is TFA Sweet Cream. If you go too high it's a full on cheese, but it can help accent the cheese aspect
I did a few tests with TFA sweet cream all the way up to 3% with mediocre success. How high were you bringing it to get that cheese note?
Sxool
Here is a variation on Xool using two strawberry flavors instead of the lime and dragon fruit. Quite delicious if you like strawberry and are not yet sick of it...
- TFA Caramel 1.5%
- TFA Coconut Extra 0.5%
- TFA Vanilla bean Ice Cream 4%
- FLV Sweet Coconut 0.5%
- FA Strawberry 0.5%
- TFA Strawberry Ripe 1%
- TFA Koolada 1%
First attempt Dreamsicle
OD Orange %7
OD Vanilla %4
TFA VBIC %2
The One Drop Flavors are very weak. It is actually ok though.
Bonus Loop da Loop
CAPSL Fruit Circles %5
FW Fruity Rings %1
FW VBIC %3
TFA Lucky Leprechaun %5
Is that FW Fruit Rings or FW Fruity Flakes? AFAIK they don't have one called Fruity Circles.
Haven't tried the orange or vanilla but I agree with the One Drop flavors being a bit weak.
Not sure about those two, but for the berries, they need some time to come out. They aren't SnV friendly. You might only need 5% orange if you give it a couple weeks.
A remix of DB Liquids Black Blossom Tea and my attempt at a Cherry Blossom Iced Tea. Don't be alarmed by the flavor percentage. The TFA I'm using here is super weak (especially Sweet Tea).
- TPA Cherry Blossom @ 4%
- CAP Hibiscus @ 1.5%
- TPA Honeysuckle @ 4%
- FE Lemon @ 0.25%
- INW Natural Mint @ 0.5%
- TPA Sweet Tea @ 10%
When u/ID10-T turned me onto TFA Sweet Tea in his Impropapiety I knew that I had the base for this remix. It's really weak and you can probably push it up to 15% solo. The generic watered down restaurant iced tea it pushes is light and doesn't bully a mix like FA Black Tea would here.
TFA Honeysuckle/Cherry Blossom brings the cherry with some floral brightness. The Honeysuckle pushes it a little sweeter and adds some depth to the florals. I tried it without the Honeysuckle but something just seemed to be missing.
CAP Hibiscus is here to add a bit of it's renowned sticky mouthfeel and add to the sweetness.
The small amount of FE Lemon brightens things up just a little bit and isn't really noticeable in the recipe. Can't have iced tea without just a little lemon.
INW Natural Mint adds just a touch of cool natural mint to the profile. It's sits way on top and is just noticeable.
Add coolant if you wish. I like this with just the mint. It's a pretty delicate vape even with the high flavor percentage.
This is definitely a shake and vape.
I <3 all these flavors, can't wait to find out what they're like combined.
Hell, yes! This is exactly what I hoped would happen when I posted that Impropapiety. This made my day, even without trying it. Just knowing that this is a thing that a serious, skilled mixer actually created and deemed worthy of sharing, I will smile for the rest of the day. Thank you.
Glad to put a smile on your face! You inspired me for sure.
I thought about this mix for about a week and started throwing it together this morning. I know these flavors pretty well (except the sweet tea and I started at 7% to be safe). It came together pretty quickly since nothing really needs a steep.
Creamy Hazelmond
CAP VBIC 6%
WF Hazelnuts & Cream 2%
CAP Whipped Cream 1.5%
FA Marzipan 0.75%
FA Almond 0.5%
I stole the VBIC % from u/ID10-t's Swashbuckle Shake. I don't find CAP VBIC to be exactly like ice cream...but it's good. The marzipan really helps to connect the nuts with the creams, especially the almond. Whipped Cream adds some fluffy mouthfeel.
Mango & Cardamom Syllabub
NOTE: I have edited the original recipe containing the cardamom seed extraction and instead have updated it using FA Liquorice. It is much the same!
A mango and cardamom syllabub dessert that I believe to be an Indian/English fusion pudding (though I may be wrong about that.)
I found a recipe online and thought it'd make a nice vape so gave it a shot. There's not much I can think to say about this because I simply tried to reflect using flavorings the real ingredients of the actual recipe. I vape it and it's very nice - sweet, slightly spicy, with a cream and meringue base.
- INW Mango 3%
- FA Brandy 0.4%
- INW Lime 0.15%
- TFA Peach 0.15%
- FA Meringue 2%
- TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 2%
- TFA Koolada 0.5%
- FA Liquorice 0.75%
It would be a whole lot easier (and safer) to just buy FA Cardamom.
Orangutam Slam
This is an older recipe from last year that I remember being quite tasty based around TFA Orange Cream Bar - one of the first ingredients I bought early in my DIY-ing. I don't often see this ingredient and others have pointed this out too. I think TFA Orange Cream Bar to be quite delicious and versatile.
Orangutam Slam is an orange and berry syrup drizzled over spiced coconut and vanilla bourbon ice cream. Rich, creamy, sharp and refreshing with just enough spice and booze to keep it exciting.
- TFA Orange Cream Bar 4%
- TFA Raspberry 2%
- CAP RF Sweet Strawberry 1%
- FLV Fire Cinnamon 0.5%
- TFA Bourbon 1%
- TFA Vanilla Swirl 2.5%
- TFA Cotton Candy 3.5%
- TFA Sweet Cream 2%
- TFA Coconut Extra 1.5%
Xool
A deliciously cool coconut lime ice cream just in time for always, which is just around the corner.
This recipe blew me away enough that I had to create a new Reddit account only yesterday in order to share it here (my previous Reddit account was canned several years ago when I impulsively deleted my linked email account, lol).
Anyway, Xool has a full flavor on both the inhale and exhale, with a particularly nice exhale via the nose. It has a quite thick and creamy mouth feel thanks to TFA VBIC and TFA Caramel, while simultaneously managing to retain a delicate tartness from the two fruits. The Koolada adds a pronounced dimension of crispness that I feel works well here; and that's from someone who once hated anything slightly menthol... I've previously had trouble using both the coconut flavors but here it is just magic... well, I think so anyway.
Do let me know what any of you think, and I welcome all criticism.
Note: I always mix 100 ml batches and scale up or down using percentages - I find this to be the simplest method. For measures below about 0.25 ml I measure drop-wise using either, clear plastic disposable pipettes for the flavors that my vendor ships in screw-lid bottles, or I simply drip from the flavor squeeze bottles. By my calculations there are approximately 40 drops/ml for the pipette, and about 36 drops/ml from the squeeze bottles; I just call it an even 40d/ml for both as it's easy to scale. 'd' denotes 'drops'.
- TFA Caramel 1.5%
- TFA Coconut Extra 0.5%
- TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 4%
- INW Lime 5d (= 0.125%)
- FLV Sweet Coconut 0.5%
- TFA Dragon Fruit 4d (= 0.1%)
- TFA Koolada 1%
Is that TFA Caramel Original or FA Caramel? Just asking because FA Coconut Extra has to be TFA Coconut Extra.
I have it labeled as just 'TFA Caramel' though it may be 'FA Caramel Original'. FA and TFA are, to my knowledge, different companies whereas TFA and TPA are the same company just different names.
Edit: My apologies. It is TFA Coconut Extra - I made a mistake and will edit the recipe. Thanks.
Watermelon Kooli
For the past month or two I'd been quite bored and uninspired with vape flavors; don't know why - it just happened. For the last week, however, I kinda feel like I've rediscovered the flavorful world of vaping once again - and that is thanks largely to one ingredient alone: Koolada! So I'm on a huge Koolada kick ATM and can't seem to get enough of the cooling freshness it imparts... in fact, most juices I've vaped lately without this ingredient seem rather lackluster by comparison. Anyway, here is another Koolada heavy juice I made: Watermelon Kooli.
It is lovely and refreshing.
The base is comprised of Bavarian cream with a slight hint of coconut that I feel compliments the watermelon, kiwi and cactus fruits very well.
- TFA Watermelon 2.5%
- TFA Kiwi Double 1.5%
- INW Cactus 1.5%
- TFA Koolada 1.5%
- FLV Sweet Coconut 0.5%
- TFA Coconut Extra 0.5%
- TFA Bavarian Cream 2%
Very nice as a shake 'n vape with a good ale.
Any good without coconut? Replacements?
I was longing for a smooth cream with a slightly cool and very minty exhale.
- Bavarian Cream (TFA) @ 2.5%
- Sweet Cream (TFA) @ 2%
- VBIC (TFA) @ 0.5%
- Koolada (TFA) @ 1%
- Cool Mint (CAP) @ 1.2%
- Harvest Berry (CAP) @ 2%
The Bavarian and Sweet Cream Combo is heavenly smooth but lacked some mouthfeel for me, in came the VBIC to the rescue.
Koolada and Cool Mint giving it the cool minty exhale I was searching for, i started with 0.5% Cool Mint but quickly went higher with the next batch.
When this was done, steeped and tried it lacked some unintrusive fruit but I was unsure what, so I made 5 iterations and Cap Harvest Berry was the clear winner.
The Berrys blend in so well, sometimes I taste them and sometimes not, for this recipe, I think this is a good thing.
Needs a 3 day steep only, nice for scorching hot days.

I’ve messed around in the past with a Red Man chew flavor, but could never quite get it. It’s always involved the RF Molasses, but the rest of it was always a bit tricky. Red Man always tasted like molasses and raisins to me, so Raisin Rum started making its way in to my attempts. It’s not a straight up raisin, but the raisin that is in there is pretty good, and the rum aspect of it isn’t totally out of place in a recipe like this. While I don’t really get a whole lot of chewing tobacco from Tatanka, it does have a really nice, full mouth feel to it, which is important if you want to make it seem like your mouth is full of delicious and thick spit (have I sold you on this recipe yet?) Red Oak is here not so much because I ever got an oak taste from the chew, but I just wanted something a little earthy to go with the tobaccos, and Red Oak also has a thick sweetness to it for me. Gold for Pipe was an idea that came from /u/ebc88. He thinks it tastes like chewing tobacco, so I threw her in, and it came out quite nice. I was a little worried about it bringing some smokiness to this smokeless tobacco, but I think with everything else it does more for body than anything else.
Pack your cheek with some Kiksuya Chew today!
I’d also suggest going with at least 70% VG to help with some more sweetness and body. Get thicc.
/u/Apexified I imagine you’ve got these flavors, so I’m taking it easy on you... this time.
This is a solid tobacco recipe if you have the ingredients mix it up and give CBV some feedback
I was going to wait until I got more feedback from Mixers Club, but I feel like you’ve got the credentials to give it the go ahead.

Recipe by Tootall on all the flavors but I had to share. Very simple shake n vape. Add sweetener if you wish but I didn’t have any and it’s plenty sweet as is. I’ve had these flavors on hand for a while don’t know why I never thought of this.
I happen to know Rory (Tootall) and I'm glad you're excited about his recipe but I'd prefer you share this in the "What are you vaping?" thread and stick to posting your own creations here in the monthly thread. My fault for changing the intro and not making that more clear, though. :)

I used to post here quite frequently, but I haven't posted here in quite some time. This is a 4 flavor mix with a distinct layer for each flavor. Each flavor is very detectable in this mix without enhancers or boosters to make any 1 flavor shine. IMO accurate flavors make for a more accurate mix. Any and all comments are welcomed.
I love MF flavors especially their lemon. If I ever get the $70 to order the rest, I'd love to try this.
Yep... Lots of people will not buy MFs because of the steep price. I totally understand. I've got a lot of free 3.7 ml samples by requesting certain samples when I order directly from the MF site.
I took a shot at a few when ECX branded them as Lotus and offered them in smaller, affordable amounts. The ones I grabbed impressed me enough to buy larger. Caramel, Lemon and Wild Raspberry just off the top of my head. I think I have some others that I don't have cataloged.
Day-O
I wanted an horchata banana malt smoothie and am particularly proud of this creation because it practically built itself, required no iteration, and is a kick-ass shake 'n vape straight out of the box. It'll be interesting to see how, after some time homogenizing in the cupboard, the flavor might develop but I can't comment on that yet 'cause I just mixed it a couple of hours ago.
Anyway, I'm not big on chai or horchata however I just love CAP Horchata! It's one of my favorite flavors. It is earthy, yet subtle, with a complexity reminiscent of a cigar stall smack-bang next to an horchata smoothie van at some trendy market in gentrified modern Havana.
I'd never used Purilum Banana until now and from what I could tell (with a dab on the finger) it seemed to not be a taste-bud-blowing thug - fortuitous, as I most definitely did not want any sort of candied banana flavor nullifying all other flavors. I took a punt and arbitrarily started with 5%; a good call because that's where it stayed. Regarding the PUR Banana, it is clearly a robust flavor yet manages to also contribute a delicate top note that balances beautifully with the INW Shisha Vanilla, CAP Horchata and TFA Malted Milk base ingredients. The malted milk works in synergy with the horchata, and vice-versa, each accentuating the other. FLV Sweet Coconut completes the banana top end and adds dimension to the banana. The final ingredient is 30 drops (0.75%) of Saline (0.9% solution) to help enhance flavor.
- PUR Banana 5%
- CAP Horchata 2%
- TFA Malted Milk 0.75%
- INW Shisha Vanilla 3%
- TFA Sweet Cream 1%
- FLV Sweet Coconut 0.5%
- Saline (0.9% solution) = 0.75%
NOTE: I have deleted the step to make saline - it's simpler to just buy small medical-grade vials of Saline (0.9% solution) available from any pharmacy/chemist (e.g. my local pharmacy sells them as 'Sodium Chloride Injection BP (0.9%)' 10 mL vials and cost a couple of dollars each.
EDIT: The coconut is FLV Sweet Coconut not Purilum as originally listed - apologies!
I was looking into saline, since it's so cheap and if I can throw another additive into my collection I'd be happy, but the information I found was quite dated. Would you reccomend it? What uses does it have? Some popular uses I found was in old "Nana Cream'' clones, but they seemed to have moved past it in recent years.
Yeah it's useful as a flavor enhanceing agent - just be sure to, either make it properly (i.e. sterile, distilled water, non-iodized salt, etc...) or purchase medical grade saline solution (usually marked as 0.9% saline). Some eye lubricating vials can be used and are small and disposable, IV saline, home-made, etc... JuYou only need a few drops to make some flavors reallly rise. There's lots of reliable info online, as well as the stock propagandised psuedoscience (e.g. popcorn lungs). If you make it yopur selkf be sdure to observe best practice with regards basic chemistry - sterilized vessels, glass, pure distilled water, and pure NaCl (not kosher, iodized or anything with any other additive) It can gunk coils a little, however with regards the production of chlorine gas the heat and currents involved are not sufficient to produce electrolysis of any concern. Just a couple of drops...
[Puddz Puller] (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/115182)
It's been a while since I've lurked on the DIY_ejuice subreddit and God have I missed it! I've been mixing quite a bit but I've been keeping the recipes mostly to myself, just due to the fact I've been quite busy lately and haven't put any thought to posting on here, ATF, or ELR.
This is my idea for a rich, creamy strawberry cheesecake pudding. I know everyone, their cousin, and their dog has a fucking strawberry cream/cheesecake/whatever recipe, but it's hard for them to not be at least halfway decent. I'd say this is more of a dessert-style vape than a light, creamy strawberry vape. Give it a shot! 70/30 VG/PG and 3 days steep minimum to let the berries simmer down and the creams to really come forward.
FA | Raspberry | 0.25
CAP | French Vanilla | 1.25
CAP | NY Cheesecake | 3.5
FLV | Popcorn | 0.3
VT | Pudding Base | 3
INW | Shisha Strawberry | 1.75
TFA | Strawberry (Ripe) | 7
FW | Tres Leches | 0.75
CAP | Super Sweet | 0.2
Strawberry Yogurt
I've tried a couple of strawberry milkshake recipe, but it always comes as a super sweet candy shake, and of course because any vape is hot, it comes out as a milkshake left in a car in the parking lot, hot sun, for a few hours. Gross.
Here's my take, and something a bit less candy-ish, and my preference to rather have it slightly tarty by using Greek Yoghurt. The Black Ice I feel is a must with any milkshake/ice cream type profiles.
I mix this as high VG, if you are going to do this in say 70/30 or 60/40 perhaps drop the total flavour percentage a slight bit. I like drinking beer a lot, and I find specifically with strawberry it completely mutes that flavour. White wine has the opposite effect of course. Adjust the percentages accordingly, many will say the total is too high.
Comments would really be appreciated.
TPA Caramel @ 0.5%
CAP Super Sweet @ 0.5%
TPA Greek Yogurt @ 5%
Black Ice (WS23) @ 0.3% (or FA Polar Blast)
FA Meringue @ 0.5%
TPA Raspberry (Sweet) TPA @ 2%
TPA Strawberry (Ripe) @ 4%
CAP Sweet Strawberry @ 2%
Edit: added name
Edit2: Changed description of Black Ice, added substitute
Well, after jerking around with the cat, I managed to make it. I have a problem with it - you didn't name it so I don't know what to label it as (I have a fancy label maker). I say this because whenever I make something I don't like or I think odd (odd in the bad sense) it gets tipped straight down the sink - unworthy of a label.
Considering I've just mixed it (it's still warm) it is very good. Don't know if I'd say milkshake - for me it's more yogurt than milkshake, but hey either way it's good.
I love the fruit but am not mad on strawberry vapes mostly because I've not had one that didn't just reek of strawberry and nothing but strawberry. This is different, refreshing even - nice work.
I ended up just using the same amount of Koolada as you had listed for Black Ice and the only thing I'm going to do is up that because I am mad on Koolada - nearly everything I make has it so...
Anyway, very enjoyable. Nice work and thanks :)
P.S. What's it called?
Edit: I've said it before and I'll say again - I really need to check what I type before hitting that button!
Oh wow! Thanks I am so glad you tried it, and of course for the big compliment!
I'll amend the original post quick. You're spot on the description would've simply been "Strawberry Yogurt", I'm not feeling particularly creative today so will keep it like that.
I'll make it now but will have to sub Koolada for Black Ice so going off of Wilkinson Sword data from the paper I mentioned to you earlier I'll reduce the Koolada by half and let you know what I think. Do you have a recommended steep-time - I'm usually too impatient and just go for it?
Most of mine is 80/20, I find most of my mixes only shines after a month, some even 3.
If you do 70/30 I'd say a week at minimum. Your problem here is the Strawberry Ripe TPA, personally I'd say compare with your own mixes that contains that flavour.
I know my answer is pretty much no answer at all, my apologies. I'm just plain jealous, I'd love to mix at 50/50 and experience a shake'n'vape. Nothing worse than finding inspiration and only able to experience it 2 months later. I've tried speed steeping, even wrote an article about it, it just doesn't work.
TPA doesn't have a flavor called Black Ice... so what is that, actually?
Seems it is WS-23. When I ordered it, it was listed under TPA. It seems my supplier changed it now, I will update the OP. It doesn't seem to be from a specific supplier though.
Sub it with FA's Polar Blast. The trick here is just to cool it down a bit, it is not supposed to be icy. And no menthol.
Daveberry Cheesecake
​
|TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust)|1.5%| |:-|:-| |CAP - New York Cheesecake |2.5%| |TFA - Pie Crust|1%| |FA - Red Touch (Strawberry)|1%| |INW - Shisha Strawberry |1.5%| |JF - Sweet Strawberry|.75%| |CAP - Super Sweet |.5%| |INW - Yes, We Cheesecake|4%|
Notes:
The INW - Yes, We Cheesecake is the best cheesecake flavor available and creates the base for the cheesecake trinity. Capella - New York Cheesecake is the first support flavor, bringing an additional note of caramelized sugar for the crust, adding some serious creaminess, and opening the bridge to vanilla flavors a bit more. Lastly, the TFA - Cheesecake (Graham Crust) completes the crusty undertone portion of the trinity and adds another hint of dairy. This trio can be used in any capacity to add an authentic and delicious cheesecake profile to a recipe. It's okay in a SNV, but I really suggest waiting about a week for it to come together.
Full credit goes to ID10-T for the groundbreaking and delicious combination of strawberry flavors used in this. His description is more than sufficient: A unique strawberry syrup (INW Shisha Strawberry), a realistic freeze-dried strawberry (FA Red Touch), and a candy strawberry that puts CAP Sweet Strawberry to shame (JF Sweet Strawberry). This was used to create the semi-artificial strawberry topping for the cheesecake recipe. I decided to add some TFA Pie Crust to bring out the graham cracker crust a bit more, and deepen the profile to balance with the strawberry's tartness.
Royer-DK
(I apologize from the outset if this is too sprawling, but here goes...)
Royer-DK is an RY4 inspired dark tobacco juice with a mild caramel and vanilla body that subtly balances the acidic spicy top notes of cinnamon and bourbon. It is quite robust but it manages to retain enough elegance of flavor to keep you guessing what it is that's so familiar yet foreign.
This following may sound cliché but since I made Royer-DK I've become quite aware of a significantly twofold nostalgia - one is the memory brought on from the smell of this juice as it is very reminiscent of the thick pungent pipe tobacco smoke that would creep and cloak my grandfather as he sat in his armchair reading of an evening. And the other is that my grandfather was a tobacco farmer in Motueka, N.Z and grew exclusively for Phillip Morris. This farm is where my mum spent her entire childhood and she would often climb up on top of the tobacco bales in the drying shed and just lay there in the warmth with her cat and the smell of drying tobacco; her childhood was a carefree one. She died 12 months ago from smoking-related illness...
So... bit of a backstory to give context to this juice; it's relevance to me because of the aroma, but also the irony of it all... Life can be funny sometimes and you can either choose to laugh, or just become more entangled and neurotic...
Anyway, back to the juice: I'm not big on tobacco vapes and admit to knowing shit-all about them, and I never really understood their attraction. However the flavor profile of tobacco vapes, particularly RY4, seemed to exhibit a certain sophistication that I'd, either not experienced, or was willfully ignorant toward such that I might never have understood the attraction - an attraction that most certainly goes far beyond simply being a replacement crutch for the real thing.
But in all honesty, I'm new to this so really have no idea if this is a good tobacco vape or utter crap! I really like it and haven't been able to vape 'normal' juice flavors for about three days now so make of it what you will... I will say I this much though: I do know a bad tobacco vape - I've made quite a few - this is not one of them, plus I now know more than the 'shit-all' I did before I pegged this one. I think I have done that so if any of you make it please tell me what you think.
I know, I know, TFA DK Tobacco @ 5% may seem high considering it's a dark and strong tobacco flavor but there is no RY4 here to provide the main body with stronger tobaccos added as complimentary flavors. Furthermore, that there is no RY4 premix to provide the other two RY4 components (i.e, caramel and vanilla) the ratio of flavors have been adjusted such that the whole thing provides a well rounded flavor profile, but also tweaked to prevent the DK from exerting an overpowering boldness. At 5% the DK Tobacco really does sit well (originally it was at 5.5%, but I cut it back thinking it a bit too excessive to post). I imagine less DK will change the profile completely and it could risk just tasting like over baked sweet bread.
Steeping: In short, I'm a non-believer and think it (with a few exceptions) an immeasurable tradition based on foo, but to each there own and I'm not criticizing anyone who does steep - I've simply found no real evidence for the benefits of steeping (or otherwise for that matter) that does not have a glaringly inherent bias of some kind. So to anyone who wants to down-vote me based on that comment, knock yourself out: I don't give a shit!
Anyway, I microwave all my mixes for 5-7 seconds then shake the living shit out of them before repeating that two more times and letting the contents settle somewhat. Forced homogenization done this way works well because both VG and PG become much less viscous with increasing temperature and this allows all the liquid components to properly amalgamate while also evaporating some residuals like ethanol, etc. Do let this one sit for several hours to a day if you've added the vinegar because PH sensitive reactions occurring so some things may need a little time to stabilize; just don't add vinegar then leave the mix for months as this is likely to kill the flavor due to severe and prolonged oxidation.
PG/VG ratio: Best at 50:50 (the less VG the better here) because;
- the PG throat hit feels more realistic and is a nicer experience, and
- with less VG to compete with the PG is better able to act as flavor carrier.
- TFA DK Tobacco 5%
- TFA Acetyl Pyrazine 0.7%
- INW Shisha Vanilla 0.85%
- FA Vienna Cream 0.7%
- TFA Caramel 0.7%
- FLV Fire Cinnamon 0.7%
- INW Nougat 0.35%
- TFA Bourbon 0.17%
- Apple cider vinegar* 1d/10 ml
Note: *The apple cider vinegar may be left out if desired.
Edit: I mistakenly said Philip Morris when I thin I meant Rothmans, but either way they are all the worst that humanity has to offer - this applies equally to the subservient scientists who work for them (monkey blast).
The tobacco plant has much to do with life, not death and most people don't know this: the tobacco leaf is used as a culture medium for growing deadly pathogens: the Ebola vaccine was cultured on tobacco leaf!
- Jamaican Rum (FW) 5%
- Hongtashan (HS) 1%
- Holy Grail RY4 (DIYFS) 7%
- Shisha Vanilla (INW) 0.5%
Delicious but could be more tobacco-ish. Maybe I'll add some Kentucky Blend or up the Hongtashan next time.
Don't be afraid by the high percentages, these flavors are pretty weak.
I can't say I made this as written it but I did mix a variation last night using TFA DK Tobacco @ 5% and it was very nice.
I have an order due in hopefully tomorrow with FA Glory and TFA RY4 Double so may be able to get closer to your original. But either way, I liked the rum content and thought it worked very well.. and I thought it fitting to name it 'LaCuenta' seeing as you didn't name it.
Thanks.
Haha no worries. I didn't name this one because I just quickly threw it together and mostly posted it for inspiration, so I don't mind one bit that you're playing with it. Thanks!
Standard month steep?
And I think I may try this. Subbing FLV Milk Chocolate for the vanilla of course. Because chocolate is always superior to vanilla.
DK-421
Another tobacco mix inspired by Boba's Bounty.
Having never vaped it or seen the actual recipe I could only guess from the many clone recipes that BB was based on several tobacco blends, cinnamon, Graham Cracker (or cookie?), and possibly Irish cream, I could tell it was a popular early tobacco vape and I have no idea whether or not it is still available. Irish cream is a strange one that I've been wanting to use a bit more of, however most of my attempts have resulted in disgusting failure (apart from an Irish cream based ginger kiss) so from what I could determine and seeing this was a bold tobacco recipe I figured it probably more forgiving than say a delicate dessert so thought I'd give it a shot and hopefully put my own twist on the theme.
I wanted this to be more spicy than my other attempts so opted to use FA Cinnamon Ceylon and FLV Ginger Snap for a spicy top end. The remaining part of the recipe is simply a nutty almond-heavy crust. It may lack some depth though due to having just the DK Tobacco instead of the three or so that Boba's Bounty (and others) seemed to have (however the clones varied wildly so who really knows - maybe someone does?)
It's quite a nice tobacco vape but probably needs a day or so to settle down a bit with the added vinegar.
...and the name DK-421 was a cheesy word play/nod to Boba's Bounty.
- TFA DK Tobacco 5%
- TFA RY4 Double 2.5%
- FA Glory 2.5%
- FLV Ginger Snap 2%
- FA Marzipan 2.5%
- FA Irish Cream 1%
- TFA Graham Cracker (Clear) 3%
- FA Cinnamon Ceylon 2%
- FA Walnut 0.5%
- PUR Fresh Coconut 1%
- Apple Cider Vinegar 1 drop/10 ml
Mixed it at roughly 50:50 PG/VG it seems quite good.
Edit: I have added TFA RY4 Double and FA Glory since first mixing this. It has a fuller and more complex tobacco emphasis - definitely positive additions.
Edit 2: I'd mistakenly listed two ingredients incorrectly:
- TFA RY4 Tobacco should be TFA RY4 Double
- FW Walnut should read FA Walnut
I have since corrected this. My apologies.
Mother of Buddha's Milk
In the spirit of skiddlzninja and ID10-T, I came up with my own variation of (Mother of) God's Milk.
I'm an atheist and the only religious thing that went through my mind when thinking what religious figure possibly has "melons" was Buddha himself.
I could have called this Maya, but Mother of Buddha's Milk sounds wayyy better.
The Cantaloupe goes extremely well with the creams and the strawberry takes it to the next level and also sweetens up the whole mix.
Although not very creative, I think this is my best recipe to date and I already vaped 120ml of it.
- Bavarian Cream (TPA) @ 2%
- Vanilla Swirl (TPA) @ 3%
- Cantaloupe Melon (FA) @ 3%
- Strawberry Ripe (TPA) @ 2%

Steep Time: 7 days
RF French Toast is doing all of the heavy lifting in this recipe, the rest of the concentrates are just there to boost the flavour, hence the name. This is my second iteration on this recipe, I swapped out TFA Toasted Marshmallow for Vanilla Swirl. It's a decent SNV/24h-steep but tastes better after a week. RF French Toast is awesome, enough said!
What percentage of RF SC French toast would you recommend? I bought SC and realized no one actually uses the SC so it's hard to use for other recipes haha

Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey tea is black tea flavored with bergamot oil; bergamot has a somewhat exotic citrus flavor. I always thought it would make a good vape, because plan tea can fall a little flat, but with the bergamot, you get a balancing acidity and a bunch of nuances in the right spectrum to come across in a vape.
I tried a very well done mix of commercial flavorings from a professional mixer, and while it was brilliantly done, it merely proved to me that I am a natural flavors vaper. So I set out to make a juice from the tea itself.
First, I bought a highly-rated Earl Grey tea from Amazon. Freshness seemed like a good idea.
Then, I packed a 4 oz jar with as much tea as it would hold, without packing it down, filled the jar with PG, labelled it, and forgot about it for three months.
Strained the liquid with the lab equivalent of a coffee filter, and then mixed as follows:
For 60 ml of juice:
5 grams of weighed Earl Grey in PG extract to 60 ml container
3 drops Liquid Splenda
Fill with your favored VG/PG/nic
That's it, and it's absolutely awesome. It really captured the essence of Earl Grey tea, and I could vape this for days. The bracing and subtle nature of tea makes it a very nonfatiguing flavor. My normal ADV is 2 grams of VapersTek German Flavors Eistee in 60ml of VG/PG/nic. This is more intense, and has more character. Check it out, if the idea appeals.
Um... so basically a NET using tea treated with a oil. So, particulate matter and lipids being inhaled.
So much easier to do something like:
1% FA Bergamot
.75% FA Black Tea
.1% INW Lemon Mix
Nice one. Quite a while back I watched several videos made by an LA cop (I think) who was making tobacco infused e liquid similar to your tea - you know, steeping for several months. I'll try that (your tea that is).
Actually I've just finished something similar using, not tea, but cardamom and coriander seeds. A single 24 hour PG infusion was all that was needed and it is way strong, i.e. straight-up tongue burning strong! I named the concoction 'Karha' after the Asian chai spice-blend and I'll be posting a couple of recipes soon, one of which 'Melange' is pretty good.
This is the kind of DIY I really like most - cheers.
I'll be very interested to see these recipes. The cardamom and coriander sounds like something I might enjoy, or that might form the base of something I would enjoy.
I've done cold, lengthy PG extraction of tobacco, too -- pipe tobacco, and it certainly worked to capture the flavors. But there's a bunch sugar in pipe tobacco, or at least in my pipe tobacco, and I got tired of the flavor of that, and of the short life of my wicks, so I'm pretty much off of it. I still like natural cigar extract, though, and my first try at that is currently steeping. It was painful, putting an expensive cigar into a food processor, but I hope it pays off.
Yeah I bet that was a tense five minutes blending. I've never bought cigars so had no idea of their cost until browsing online for mods and such when I discovered that some cigars cost more than a small (Cuban) car. Anyway, I'll try to post one or two cardamom recipes today sometime, or at the very least I'll post the cardamom Karha infusion that I've been using.
