The Ringer
The Ringer is an ice cold tart Lemonade loaded with sweet litchi and watermelon (min steep: 4 days)
CAP Sweet lychee: 4% PUR Watermelon: 3% PUR Lemonade: 5% FA Spearmint: 2% TFA Cotton Candy: 1% WS 23 20%: 2% Link: http://tjek.nu/r/qw07 Development note: I wanted a cold and fruity lemonade, PUR lemonade is a lemonade that can take the abuse of other strong flavours, PUR watermelon doesn't disappear after a short steep and CAP sweet lychee compliments both lemon and watermelon, the Spearmint helps with freshness and the cotton candy makes fruits pop
Caramel Latte
Sweet and frothy caramel latte with chunks of nougat, whipped cream and rich espresso (Min steep: 2 weeks)
FA Dark bean: 1% CAP Sweet Cream: 2% FW Whipped Cream: 3% FA Meringue: 1% FA Torrone: 1% Link: http://tjek.nu/r/krqh Development note: FA Dark bean is tremendously strong, as is FA Torrone, both of these have some killer off notes but the meringue and creams help blend them together and mask some of the off tastes
Strawberry Quick
A popular brand instant strawberry milk (Min steep: 6 days)
FA Cream Fresh: 4% TFA Dragonfruit: 1% CAP Sweet Strawberry: 2% TFA Strawberry Ripe: 5% FA Meringue: 2% Link: http://tjek.nu/r/dYZJ Development note: TFA dragonfruit contains Triethyl Citrate, this helps stop your strawberry from evaporating from the bottle, FA cream Fresh always tasted more milky than creamy to me, FA Meringue helps with the sugar lips feeling of (popular brand strawberry milk powder) and makes the mix taste more authentic to the original product as opposed to an actual strawberry in a glass of milk
Mr Creamy
A Biscuit Base smashed with multiple sweet creams ( Min steep: 2 weeks)
INW Biscuit: .5% FA Cookie: 1% FA Catalan Cream: 1% CAP Vanilla Bean Ice Cream: 3% CAP Sweet Cream: 1% FA Marshmallow: 2% TFA Sweetener: 1% Link: http://tjek.nu/r/jRmt Development Note: FA Catalan Cream has a slight spiciness to it that elevates the taste of biscuits and cereals, FA Marshmallow thickens up the mix and places the cream up front on the inhale but still leaves a faint cookie crumble on the exhale
Cosmic
A melon bubblegum with a slight hint of fresh mint (Min steep: 2 days)
TFA Bubblegum: 5% TFA Honeydew II: 6% FA Spearmint: 2% PUR Watermelon: 2 FA Watermelon: 1% TFA Sweetener: 2% Link: http://tjek.nu/r/jRf5 Development Note: the initial recipe didn't have the watermelons and TFA Honeydew II was at 8%, what we noticed was that after a long steep the bubblegum became very chalky and the melon was lost in the mix, adding PUR watermelon for melon flesh and some FA Watermelon for a little bit of rind, the melon became more pronounced and held up a little better, it still becomes a little chalky but in the way you expect bubblegum to after you've been chewing it a lil while
I hope everyone has a delightful Christmas and New year and that if you mix up a recipe or two from this list that you enjoy it
I admit that I hadn’t even heard of this line, sorry to hear you’re closing shop. I understand how having side jobs along with another one can become difficult to manage both. I appreciate you sharing your recipes and I think I will give some of them a try. Thanks mate, and have a great Christmas!
Thanks mate! My personal favourite from that list is Cosmic if you like melons ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and bubblegum
I was actually thinking about that lemonade one, I want a lemonade flavor to taste good so bad, but never can quite nail it. Perhaps yours will fix that. 👍
There ya go.
Sorry to hear you've closed. Thanks for sharing. And happy holidays to you and yours ☺️
No worries bud! The business was profitable but with a full time job there just wasn't enough time to fulfill orders and still develop great new stuff!
So, are you going to spend time developing new stuff since you won't have to keep up with orders and all that?
I used to be be obsessed with Strawberry Quik. More than once I found myself wishing that the strawberry milk recipes that I tried were closer to that flavor profile. I can't thank you enough for sharing this, I'm itching to mix it up.
No problem bud!
Apologies to hear about having to shut down, but we do appreciate you sharing your stuff with us! These look really good, some unique usage of less popular concentrates always gets my vote of confidence. Interested especially in that Ringer, will have to pick up CAP lychee to give it a shot :)
I followed this sub a long time ago when I considered getting into diy but have never tried it myself. The ringer sounds absolutely amazing though, I wish I could’ve bought it! I’m sorry to hear you had to close and thank you for the recipes
Sorry you had to close your line. My wife and i had a small online vape shop for a while but closed it when we had kids and no longer had time for the side hustle. Thanks so much for sharing these, I plan to try several of them as they sound fantastic!
Hey man, I really appreciate you sharing these. The development notes and the thought process behind them really offer something extra for inexperienced folks like myself. Book marked this thread and will mix up a few as soon as I can get some of the flavors in, hard getting them in this area of world.
Thanks a lot I really love it when people allow the community access to their recipes once they are no longer selling them. I have seen so many juices that people LOVED just vanish once a company closed or they decided to retire a particular juice. I really do appreciate it!
You're spot on with your description of FA Catalan Cream:
>[It] has a slight spiciness to it that elevates the taste of biscuits and cereals.
I use it in the exact same way. In fact, your "Mr Creamy" recipe is basically identical to one of mine, except for using TPA Whipped Cream instead of CAP Sweet Cream, skipping the sweetener, and minor tweaks to the amounts of the other ingredients.
​
I'm late to the party. Thank you Voopies! I can make a couple of these and have added the flavors (I'm missing) to my shopping list for the rest. All of these interest me. Did you sell these at a B&M?
I will try the quik one, coz that's the only one I can lol but the ringer looks very interesting. How does PUR lemonade compare to flv or LA?
I'm a huge fan of it
I find the PUR lemonade takes abuse with adding flavours a lot more than loranns lemonade, I haven't tried FLV lemonade :)
Please let me know how you like the recipes! I'd love to hear your feedback
Thank you :) i want to try the straw milk, ive finally found a recipe that doesnt use bavarian cream which apparently contains a harmful ingredient (acetoin)? Correct me if im wrong please
Yes it is completely DAP free :)
Can you tell me more about acetoin in eliquids please?
https://youtu.be/VQWb0HiRXT8
Here's a nice video explaining it :) basically Diacetyl, Acetoin and some others are in a family of compounds that we collectively call DAP
Although your harm in vaping DAP is significantly lower than in cigarettes, it's still a better idea to try avoid them if you can
Thanks for sharing your work. On your Strawberry Quick recipe you have TFA Strawberry Ripe @ 4%, but on ELR you have it at 5%. I'm assuming 5% is the correct amount?
Thanks for this! The ELR recipe page for Quick says 5% Strawberry Ripe and your post above says 4%. Which percentage should be used?
Sorry you had to close. I am just getting going. People are always asking for my juice. Honestly none of those flavors are really my kinda flavors. I am gonna whip up the strawberry milk. I imagine it is on the lighter tasting side not as heavy as most which would be good. I made one a year ago with dragonfruit and it popped.
Any suggestions for someone getting started. I am gonna keep it quite small but any pitfalls to avoid would be good.
It very much depends on your areas regulation but here are some other pointers.
What I would highly recommend is getting active on your vaping community, make friends with shop owners and get a loyal customer base
The thing that killed my line was the time it takes, it ends up being a lot more than mixing, bottling and selling
Another big factor is making sure your line is approachable to newcomers, if you come into the market and you're trying to convince someone to buy your juice instead of say Ruthless or Elysian labs, there needs to be a sell as to why yours is going to make a difference to the customers vaping experience whether it be price, coil longevity or flavours that just hit the spot better than the competition
Your testing also needs to be spot on, test on some good mid range goodies (like say a drop RDA and a Zeus RTA) and some lower end prebuilt stuff, it doesn't help if you have a killer juice on a Hadaly but you can't taste the profile on a smoke V8 stick then it's not going to sell
Hope that wall of text helps!
