Happy Vaping!
This is just my second week of DIY, so all those flavors I made last week are ready to vape!
I've mainly been copying flavors online, so far. I've been vaping DIY or DIE's Bronuts, NotCharlesManson's Strawberry Shortcake Bar, HippyVape's Ande's Mint, and CharlesJV's S'mores. The Ande's mint is the household winner, my girlfriend LOVES it. I like it, but find it hard to vape all day.
I can't believe I ever paid for eJuice when there's so many good DIY recipes all over the place.
Get FLV Creme De Menthe which people refer to as Ande's Mint anyways that would take that to the next level.
Ooooh nice, I'm gonna check that out. With each company having their own version of most flavors, it's kind of a pain starting out, but I'm glad that there's all these options to nail the flavor just right. Thanks for the advice!
TPA is crazy strong, it's made with menthol, vanillin, and peppermint so it's not that creamy and basically a mint that's not that good.
FW is more creamy and not as alcoholic but more peppermint forward and a better version than TPA's.
FLV is a not in your face, but a soft creamy mint but when you push it higher you get a chocolate big time, way more than other people I think. I get it at 1% easy instantly.
If you want more peppermint get FA's version but for something more soft CAPS would work. For more chocolate you can push this up more but you don't have a lot of options. HS Australian or MB Glamour would be your best bet.
If you want more mint, not a peppermint/spearmint but a true mint then INW natural mint is the way to go which is by far and away my favorite by a mile. For Ice Cream I'd go with LB Vanilla Ice Cream.
FLV Creme De Menthe is a lot of people's ADV because it is complex. You can work in creams, malts, ice creams etc... Also easy to use it as an accent in the background for fruits etc.... FW is cheap so you might want to check that out too on your next order.
https://alltheflavors.com/flavors/flavorah-creme-de-menthe --- look at FW/TPA's versions for other ideas to sub in FLV.
Congrats and welcome to your new obsession. I vape most other peoples recipes as well and I have plenty of flavors to make my own, but it’s not as easy as it sounds 😂😩...as long as you’re vaping and not smoking stinkys who cares. Have fun and thanks for sharing....;)
I'll follow up here with the different questions. I tried a few of my different batches and have a bit of a different opinion now than what I remember, plus the steep time helped a bit. It got thrown in the background with working on my other mixes but I need to work with this more because I'm trying to think out of all my flavors what would I rather single flavor vape than this and I can't think of anything, maybe INW natural mint but that's about it.
My first thought was wow, this is way too chocolate forward, which people would die for with the lack of good chocolates out there but it's not as strong as I remember. I'm not a big dessert guy at all but can work with IC's in stuff but I just can't do thick heavy too sweet flavors. as long as its not too sweet so I tend to bend it in the middle somewhere with fruits and or mints thrown in which is my favorite profile. If you want to take it to a desert level then follow the Mixin Vixens girls on ATF and their youtube channel because they are the best in the world when it comes to desserts:

I'm not going to throw in TPA Vanilla Swirl, TPA VBIC, Marshmallow and maybe some CAP Vanilla Custard and call it a day which I bet almost every ELR recipe is some form of that.
The one iteration I made was a Mint Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream.
The menthe was at 1.5% which is the middle ground I think, 2% is normal and 3% is pushing it, but I went low because I added another chocolate on top of it that worked out well. And the recipe was pretty good for winging it and I forgot about it because it's been steeping since 6/23
- MB glamour Chocolate @ 1%
- LB Vanilla Ice Cream at @ 3%,
- INW Shisha Raspbery @ .75%
- INW Natural Mint @ .40%
- FA Meringue @ .50%
- FLV Cream 1%
I'd do things different like maybe throw in INW Rasp (malina) to combo, take out Meringue because that sweetness takes away from the Creme De Menthe which I'd up the % because it deserves to shine. Maybe lower FLV to .50 to .75 or throw in .50% FLV Vanilla Pudding to make it into Fresh03's LB IC/Pudding Custard or the other LBIC/HS FVIC's combo. FLV Vanilla Custard would probably be the way to go if you wanted to use a custard.
Obvious other things are a vanilla like Shisha/Holy,, TPA/CAP/FA/FLV Marshmallow all would work something like CAP Vanilla whipped cream etc etc.... Endless really because you can use this as an accent or a primary so easy and work around whatever your aiming for.
Then personally, as a mint fan, I'd either up the Natural Mint (must get flavor), however INW Mix Mint wouldn't work, or add Peppermint but I only have FA's which is 100% accurate but I'm go ing to get CAP Peppermint because that's a way better fit. I can't see how Caps Cool Mint wouldn't play well either. Or maybe just some WS-23 would unlock it, as it's Mint Ice Cream at the end of the day.
TimNAchogrl: The beauty of the FLV's Creme, compared to others, is you can use it in so many directions. Working it with biscuit like JF or INW, FA Cookie, FW Graham Crust, with cookies and cream, throw in your Milk Chocolate to make it to an oreo type cookie to a peppermint patty using TPA malted Milk, Peppermint, Chocolate.
Ice Cream works, but no HS FVIC isn't better than LB and you use HS low and it's a massive steeper. LA's Icing/FLV frosting would work. Irish creams, coffee and variations of those drinks would play well.
I can't keep up with Chocolates but glamour works fine, HS Australian I think is king right now, some people love LB Lava Cake, and I think there are a few other good things out there like malts and other notes, but I'm not the one to ask.
Funny you mention White Chocolate because I have LB's WC peppermint in my mail box as we speak and I'm interested how that will work with it and I'm also going to pick up PUR Butter Mint which besides the name is more a peppermint based mint and pretty good too.
To sum it up, get this flavor.
Currently vaping on two juices I recently made- {3% Cap Golden Pineapple, 2% TFA Jackfruit, 2% FLV Wild Melon} and a altered mix of it {2% FW Blood Orange, 2% CAP Sweet Tangerine, 2% TFA Jackfruit, 2% FLV Wild melon}. I started this recipe by getting golden pineapple in the mail. My first taste of it immediately wanted me to use the fleshy pineapple vibe I got from it similar to the "side flavors" of TFA Papaya. I mixed it with my newly acquired jackfruit in a attempt to not only give the pineapple more strange tropical flavors, but to help with the fruity mix of the juice. FLV Wild melon was kinda a random toss in to add in more dimensions of fruit- plus that shit is DELICIOUS. The other version I pretty much just swapped the pineapple for my go-to orange duo, I feel like something is missing on this version but I am happy with both and uhh... excuse my reddit formating...
Both of these sound summery as all hell. You try mixing is some cooling for the something missing?
Yeah I love some (a lot of) cooling! I haven't mixed this recipe up with cooling but I oughta do that soon. I normally try to fiddle with my recipes before I add cooling in an attempt to create a better juice, and not just subpar flavors with cooling to mask- if that makes any sense.
It's been 4 weeks already again since I posted in this thread, so I guess I have to follow up on some things I mixed:
- My twist on Arctic Queen without INW Natural Mint, with INW Frost @0.5%, Menthol Crystals in 50% PG @1% and INW Vanilla For Pipe @1% turned out really amazing, resembling a West ICE cigarette a lot. I'm thinking about adding 0.25% Super Sweet to boost that Spearmint taste a bit.
- Adding TPA RY4D to /u/goldfish18 's excellent Apple Buttah didn't turn out to be a lot, might have to push RY4D a bit and lessen the apple. It's good, but nothing special.
- Sour Apple Cheescake by Philben29 was a great recipe to switch with Apple Buttah every once in a while
- Awwww Sheeeeiiiit by /u/philosaphucker was a really pleasant vape. Just a really pleasant nutty vanilla caramel vape.
- Black Currant Ice Cream by ruinate worked really well because of OOO Milky Undertones. I usually can't stand VBIC recipes, but I enjoyed this a lot.
Apart from that, I ordered a couple of Rhubarb flavors and hope to mix up something decent together with the cheesecake base by /u/chink_t
Please report back with that rhubarb experiment it sounds so amazing!
Sooo, right off the scale, 3% VT Rhubarb Compote is very sweet and dessert-like, not getting a lot of Rhubarb as I would've wished for.
Second mix is 2% VT Rhubarb Compote and 0.5% INW Rhubarb, plus I lowered CGC to 6%. That one has a good sour/fruit note and little tartness.
Looks like Greek Yoghurt and Rhubarb Compote don't work too well together.
Whoa! I never thought I'd see someone else try one of my recipes.
How did you like it? Any thoughts?
(I'm philben29 on ATF/ELR)
Hey, congrats to the great recipe! Like I said, I switched between yours and Apple Buttah and enjoyed it a lot. I don't have the original to compare, so this is without any reference.
If any, I'd probably drop the AP just to reduce the crust a bit. You got CGC in there, so some nuttiness is still there.
I mixed up u/Enyawreklaw's New Pistachio Ry4u, but I made some adjustments. I never really liked tpa vanilla swirl, it's always felt too top-heavy and artificial to my pallet. So first thing I did was substitute FW Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and INW Shisha Vanilla for Vanilla Swirl. Both of these give me a deeper richer vanilla, though not necessarily darker, so it stays within the profile. Feel free to keep the original VanillaSwirl, this is just my preference
Next thing I did was look to make the pistachio more prominent, as it was getting lost in the mix for me. When I have a pistachio ice cream, I want it to have chunks of pistachio in it, not just pistachio/almond (most American pistachio ice creams use primarily almond essence) extract blended into the ice cream. I accomplished this with FA pistachio as FA's offering is hyper authentic-like a fresh raw pistachio not salted or roasted. FLV Pistachio was also a consideration but it's fairly creamy and buttery - and TPA was already providing that. 0.5% was just enough to give the distinct pistachio note without going overboard, any lower and I just got a nondescript nuttiness. It is a bit prominent right after mixing but it mellows with a steep.
Next I wanted to bolster the tobacco in the RY4D as I've been getting into a tobacco craze lately, and the mix as is was just too dessert-y for my taste. I used FLV Takanka for this as it has a toffee-esque quality that blends well with desserts. .3% felt just right for this mix, I wanted to keep it a dessert vape just with a tad more tobacco, and tatanka is pretty forgiving in desserts.
I also switched out the sweetener because TPA's makes mixes watery for me
Below is the final recipe, give me your thoughts and critiques!....(please)
(I didn't make this it's own post because DIYorDIE did most of the work, I just adjusted it a bit).
FW Butterscotch Ripple 3%
FA Pistachio .5%
TPA Pistachio 2%
TPA RY4D 3%
CAP Sugar Cookie 4%
FW Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 1.9%
INW Shisha Vanilla .35%
FLV Takanka .3%
CAP Super Sweet .15%
EM (10% SOL) .25%
Been getting pretty buck wild on my Cinnamon thing lately, which is really odd because I don’t usually get down on Cream/milky, cereal, or cinnamon things. Went a little crazy on all the creams because I really wanted to soften the Rich Cinnamon and kind of mute it on purpose because even at .1% it would give me a harsh chemical off note. Turned out pretty good.
Over the weekend I was getting cozy with my Black Cedar RY4. Most RY4s end up tasting like a muddled sweetness to me, but that one kept its edge pretty nicely after 10 ml or so. So that’s nice.
I kind of accidentally fell in to another Boba’s Bounty clone trap a week ago, so I’ve been testing all those as well. Eventually I reckon I’ll just get sick of not nailing it, and just throw out the best I can do. Did end up with a pretty interesting thing that kind of tastes like if you were making Boba’s, but instead of the raisin note you went with more of a sweet, almost watermelon type of thing. Might explore that direction a little more as well.
Other than that, I got VT Red Dates and went a little wild with it because I was excited with how much it reminded me of the old version of INW Fortuna Strike. Roaring 20’s is an old ADV I used to have before I fell in love with Black for Pipe, and I mixed it up with the Red Dates and it tasted just like I remembered. Also threw it in this spiced apple recipe I’m working on that is supposed to taste like the little shop of this apple orchard I go to every fall to pick apples. Got some INW Spicy Biscuit, FLV Sweet Coconut, INW Two Apples, FLV Apple Cider, and some other little guys in there. Pretty excited about that one, but it still needs some proper all day testing and probably some tweaks.
Oh generous benefactor, Lord of tobaccos. This is definitely not the right thread to ask this in, but I had a question and u/juthinc said you were the person to ask, so if you wanna get mad at anyone for derailing the post.... (Just kidding).
So I have Gold Ducat and I'm SFTing it at the moment, but I'm not sure what version it is, and I'm not sure which versions any of the flavor reviews of it are for, so I really don't know what to look for (it also seems to be a subjective flavor that many people interpret differently).
I was wondering if you could give your thoughts on the differences between the versions, which you like better, etc. Or perhaps direct me to a post/comment where this was already discussed, as I seem incompetent at using reddit's search function and couldnt find one.
I’ve got a bottle of both, but I’m still working off of the old one, and haven’t single flavor tested the new to compare them side by side. I have, however, had a couple of juices that I’ve tried through Mixers Club that were mixed with the new version. One of those I mixed up a bigger batch for myself using the old, and there really wasn’t a huge difference. The only thing I noticed different between the two mixes was that the newer version seemed a bit smokier, but for the most part there wasn’t a huge difference.
But it does seem to still be quite the subjective flavor. In /u/amouthforwar’s Tütün recipe, he uses the new version for smokiness, spice, and nondescript fruit note. /u/ebc88 uses it in Smokin Hibiscus for a toasty coconut vibe. /u/limedrive used it in Hipster Coffee for butter (along with all the other notes that come with it.) I personally mostly get a smoky honey flavor. Best I can describe it is maybe a honey Cavendish. But I have had these three recipes, and they were all pretty great, even if I didn’t quite get the same notes from the Gold Ducat. From what I can tell, it is the one flavor that got reformulated and stayed equally as good as the old.
Thanks for the shoutout c:
just to add to the convo, since gold ducat is by far my favorite tobacco I own (although I think I use red burley more, I just fucking love ducat)... /u/DreadPirateSnuffles what notes do you have so far? Mine:
old formula: noticeably "wet" to me at 2-3%, with that sticky honey vibe, sweet, and I think the gooey raisin note is much more upfront. some cocoa/smoke notes in the background if you can taste iot through that super in your face honey/raisin body.
new formula: much more dry -- which for a tobacco vape isn't a bad thing mind you, more of a cocoa or coffee note, more smoky, still a raisin flavor in there somewhere but not so much of that honey IMO. At least in the batch I got. Because of that it pairs excellently with INW Gold For Pipe or Dark Fire to sort of bring it back to where the old version is at on the spectrum.
of course these notes aren't universal, its good to compare with everyone else! Shit, even just changing drip tips on the same atty with a flavor in it I get a completely different taste some times.
Many thanks! I mixed some up with stixx mixx's butter rum Cavendish and Oriental 456 and I'm enjoying it, it pairs quite well. But I just mixed it and it definitely needs to steep.
EDIT: mind if I bug you for another quick question about how long a steep NETs usually require? I've heard that they can be SnVaped but I've also heard the opposite
Your cinnamon thing is on the list to mix. I'm looking forward to it! Unfortunately it's behind my recipe iterations and testing a few others' recipes to get some soda inspiration. I'm trying to learn more about the new VT Fizzy Sherbet and Lemonade's possible role in it all.
Back from vacation visiting my brother last night and I'm assessing the damage to all the mixes I made.
- I killed the 30ml of Impropiety by u/ID10-T what can I say, I was in the North Carolina heat and it hit the spot with fruit flavor and coolant and sweet tea goodness. I look forward to some variations on the sweet tea as I have a large bottle of it.
- I mostly finished a 30 of the Impropiety inspiration, Tenacious T by u/SkiddlzNinja I'm into FLV CT shade and I loved the weird things it did in this mix. I'm enjoying it for now but want to deconstruct this a bit.
- I was very on the fence about u/ConcreteRiver's Fiestas and Fiascos. I described it as though pink guava got drunk and decided to drop some acid at a party. That's how I feel about it. It's an experience but I'm not sure yet how I feel about the whole thing. Maybe this combination of mixology just didn't land with me. I felt like the guava rubbed up against the hops and started hitting on LA CCI's girlfriend, Vanilla Swirl and a fight ensued where no one came out the winner. I'm hoping that a little more steep time might settle them all down or I can just wrap my head around what was real and what was all just a part of the trip. Noteworthy: room note got everyone's attention and not a soul could place the smell.
- I got back to a few I was looking forward to including Hop Spit by u/philosaphucker. After the fiascos weirdness I was expecting less than I got. It's weird all right, but it seems to strike me as a good weird. Best I can describe it is like a fermented Aloe tea. I barely taste the tobacco in there which is weird when the cactus to everything else ratio is basically 1:10. The cactus is super prominent and strangely dances across the mouth. It's strong. It's astringent to me which is odd since it's used so often to add juiciness. Next comes the hops which gives a fermented taste that to me seems more like an herbal tea made from aloe than a cactus beer. I find I really like it. Like a lot. Strange how the tobacco notes dont even factor in for me. I barely taste them which is what makes it all so strange. This is a very unusual mix that I very much enjoy using cactus forward strangeness to make something bold and yet strangely addictive.
- Another decent wait was u/KindGround's Dune. I subbed FA Clove because I didn't have FLV and I think I bumped it up a hair because I find it fades a bit after a week or two. I've never had Arrakis but this is a really a great spiced tobacco vape. It plays pleasantly on the tongue with unusual spices. I had most of these 'spices' but this shows me what can be done with them. the tobacco and the flavors do some druidic dance in the deep of the forest with the effigy burning here. I'm curious to try the original, but I can totally see this taking it's place next to brigade in the permanent bottle collection.
- and, yes, good people of reddit. A long 30 days has passed until today. I have been flirting delicately with Apricaught me Slippin by u/ChemicalBurnVictim. It's much more subtle than either hop spit or Dune so I'm holding off for maybe a bit longer before I start to describe it fully but by comparison alone, the DNB stands out and makes this more of an authentic smokey tobacco than the others. The apricot to me is subtle and I like that (especially after the strength of the cactus in hop spit) but it's there and it seems to bring out the GFP notes that brighten the heftiness of the BFP.
that's all for now. I've still got more on the way and will have to catch up with the actual reviews on atf.
I had to scramble to make some juice, I’m going on a trip tonight until Sunday, and I didn’t have much flavors left, just some old Liquid Barn extracts. I actually ended up blending a pretty decent juice with 6% LB Vanilla Ice Cream, 3% LB Baked Cinnamon Roll. I was surprised how good it turned out. I also had enough banana to throw together a good banana and cream mix for the weekend.
Been enjoying this mix , nice caramel and tobacco and a bit nutty.
Wf Ruyan Custard 3%
Wf Tahitian Vanilla Cream .75
Tpa Pistachio 2
Fw Caramel Candy .5
Might try adding a little sugar cookie or maybe a little brown sugar? It's good as is though.
Also some different mixes with Wf Watermelon candy. I love that stuff.
Getting Pistachio tomorrow. Pumped to make some recipes, will post my experiments. CAP sugar cookie, various creams, brown sugar, AP, almond, honey and meringue will be the main players.
VBIC presteeped and a homemade torrone recipe will be primary
I love the Pistachio.
If I'm honest, I've yet to do much with it beyond just vaping it at a moderate %, with touches of other stuff like marshmallow, cotton candy (em), vanillas, creams, etc. I'm sure it has some awesome uses, I've just gotten lazy with DIY past just making the "greatest hits".
But, I like it as a standalone for the most part. Just gotta watch, it doesn't tend to get "better" or fuller as you raise the % past a certain point...it kinda just gets harsher.
Prickly Victory all day and all night! 4% CAP Sweet Guava and 1% INW Cactus
No WS-23 in it? You monster.
I still don't have any but I keep hearing about that. I'll have to add it to my next order, thanks for the tip!
I'm vaping recipe iterations for a top 15 ATF flavors S&C. Also Burley Scotch by sejouced. What a great tobacco forward recipe. The Butterscotch layers well with the chocolate note in Burley and is a great tobacco accent.
I've been mixing and messing with this Earl Grey tea for a while. I usually would never do tropical flavors but I drunk order a big tropical flavors spread late one evening. I was worried at first but when I started adding small amounts, in no-sweetener juices, they worked alright sometimes. I stopped measuring this particular juice so I can have a variety but I'll give my best estimates. Still haven't found a use for feijoa...
TFA Earl Grey ~3-5%
FA Passion Fruit ~1-2%
TFA Dragon Fruit ~0.5-1.5%
The Earl Grey is at the forefront but the tropical flavors add a nice tang.
I'm sampling a few INW tobaccos: dark for pipe, black cat, desert ship, nutty princess and classic smooth leaf. Any ideas how to use them in a simple 2-3 ingridient mix?
Have you tested them all yet? Curious what you think about the Black Cat and Smooth Leaf. Black Cat was super strong berries for me, and I think I only ever tried one mix with it, and it just wasn’t very good to me. Smooth Leaf tasted like a BBQ potato chip flavor with maybe a bit more of a liquid smoke vibe. Also never had any success with mixing it. Nutty Princess isn’t horrible for me, but it’s got some chemical funkiness to it, and I’m not too sure how well it would mix with the others.
That leaves Desert Ship (it’s the TDM version? Not the S’Desert Ship, right) and Dark for Pipe. I think those two could be interesting with each other. Maybe like 2% Dark for Pipe and 1% Desert Ship. Probably gonna give that a try myself. Maaaaaybe could be ok with a super tiny amount of that Black Cat. Like .2%. But I’d keep that one separate in case it’s too strong.
Edit: mixed that little recipe suggestion, and I am actually getting more put off by the Desert Ship than the Black Cat. If I were to try again, I would at least cut the Desert Ship in half to .5%.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried mixing desert ship with dark for pipe, but I went 2% Desert Ship 2% (NOT S'desert... ) and dark for pipe 0.5%, tried with 1%. It's not half bad. I'll try it the other way around, but I find dark for pipe very strong already.
Black cat is, indeed, fruity, but I smell dark plum in there, maybe with a small hint of berries, tobacco in the background. Strong as hell, but I enjoy the flavor and can vape it solo at 1%-1.5% after a few days of steeping. So far I find the Smooth Leaf unvapeable. Even at 1% it's just the smell of smoked ham. In the mix, at 0.5%, it's still strong and rather overwhelming, but could fit some profiles, I guess.
Honestly, I'm looking for something cigaretty, smokey (not smoked ham, cigarette smoke), like burned tobacco, to mix with those tobaccos for a more ashy, dry vape experience. I had some german-shop-label RY4 and worked well, but I'm out of it, and have access to it no more. What flavors would fit that profile?
> I find dark for pipe very strong already.
It is a pretty strong one, and 2% is probably about the max I’d ever use it at. I went that high just because the desert and Black Cat are also strong as hell to me and I didn’t want them to overpower the whole thing. Desert seemed to win that battle even at 1%, but I also don’t particularly love that one so I can probably pick it out of just about anything. There’s some interesting qualities to it that in theory I think I’d like in a mix, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to blend it in a way that I get what I want, and cover up the rest.
> Black cat is, indeed, fruity, but I smell dark plum in there, maybe with a small hint of berries, tobacco in the background. Strong as hell, but I enjoy the flavor and can vape it solo at 1%-1.5%
I think I tested it around the 1% range, and it was a bit too strong on the fruity notes for me. Kind of dry and fruity like I was chewing up some kind of powdery almost sour fruit candy. But since I don’t mess with a whole lot of fruity things I think I’m more sensitive to those flavors.
> Even at 1% it's just the smell of smoked ham. In the mix, at 0.5%, it's still strong and rather overwhelming, but could fit some profiles, I guess.
If you find that profile, let me know. I’ve mostly tried to make some bold Pipe mixes with it. It seems like it would work with FA Black Fire to create a pretty decent Latakia tobacco, but I could never tame it enough. I’d either use it so low that I couldn’t taste it, or as soon as I tasted it, it was smoky BBQ sauce. Very odd flavor.
> Honestly, I'm looking for something cigaretty, smokey (not smoked ham, cigarette smoke), like burned tobacco, to mix with those tobaccos for a more ashy, dry vape experience.
Do you have access to FLV or FA flavors? I’m guessing from the flavors that you already have that you aren’t in the US, and I know FLV are kind of tricky to get in some places. Though I think you can probably get where you want if you stick with INW. DNB Flavor is going to be your best friend to add some dirty ash to the mix. Black for Pipe has a similar smokiness to the Dark for Pipe, but it’s more mellow and has some dark fruit buried down deep and a really nice tobacco taste. Tobacco Absolute Garuda or Tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar will probably be pretty crucial as well to add some more authentic tobacco notes. My ADV is 2.5% Black for Pipe, 2% Tobacco Absolute Cuban Cigar, 1% DNB Flavor. The Cuban Cigar helps keep things feeling dry, so it feels a little more like smoke. From all of my searching for a burning cigarette taste, I think the best you’ll be able to come up with is an unlit cigarette that you can add some smokiness and ash to. It’s always going to be lacking that burn. But it can still be pretty satisfying. FLV Classic Cigarette is a good one that adds a little more dirty and almost chemical funkiness that you would expect from a cigarette. If FLV isn’t available, FA Cam Blend Ultimate tastes pretty close and seems to have maybe a little more smokiness to it. I’ve only single flavor tested that one so far, but I’m pretty excited to mix with it. FA Black Fire tastes like a fire place. It doesn’t scream cigarette, but it does provide a little bit of that burnt mouth feel you get from actually smoking tobacco.
Mixed this up today. Super tasty.
Still don't know much about mixing, so it's just a result of concentrates I had on hand and good ol' novice intuition.
Suckleberry
- 4.50% - (CAP) Sweet Strawberry - I've got the Rf version. No idea if there is a flavour difference.
- 2.50% - (INW) Shisha Strawberry
- 2.50% - (TPA) Honeysuckle (pg)
- 1.50% - (FA) Cream Fresh
- 1.25% - (INW) Shisha Vanilla
- 0.50% - (CAP) Super Sweet
I'm currently going through some DIY "Strawberry-Banana Pudding"
I don't have the recipe on-hand, but it's something like:
- 8-9% TFA Strawberry Ripe
- 5-6% Banana Cream
- ~2% TFA Marshmallow
- ~1% TFA Cotton Candy (em)
- If I'm feeling frisky, sometime I toss in a little (like a few drops per 100mL) of another creamy or dessert flavor.
The percentages are a bit higher than I usually make it, as I'm on 100% VG right now. On my usual ~70/30 VG/PG split, I'd probably knock 2-2.5% off the Strawberry and Banana.
I've also been vaping a Melon Boba Clone and a DIY Watermelon Chill (which is just some TFA Watermelon @ near 5-6% and a bit of Koolada).
