This is the thread to share the mixes you're proud of and want other mixers to mix. If you want to share your recipe as its own post, it should have development notes, variations, and/or the thoughts that went into choosing the flavors. But don’t forget to share it here, as well!

We also have a Weekly Questions thread for new mixers or general questions that also has links to all the other weekly threads. Check it out if you’re not sure where to post.

 


If you need help formatting your recipe, choose one of the following:

<Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x%
<Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x%
<Flavor> (<Vendor>) @ x%

&nbsp;

Or if you'd like to use a "fancy" table format it like this:

Co. | Flavor | %

---|---|----

A1 | A2 | A3
B1 | B2 | B3  

To get this:

Co. | Flavor | % ---|---|---- A1 | A2 | A3 B1 | B2 | B3

Congrats to /u/kindground for having the top rated recipe last month. To honor his creativity and mixing prowess Flavorah will be hooking him up with some soon-to-be-released brand new flavors.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Here's a little something I've been working on for a few months now.

Holy Pistachio This came about from 2 things: My love of Charlie Noble's Pistachio RY4 , and my newfound love for Fear's Cardinal  Charlie Noble Pistschio RY4 was my first ADV. I loved it. When I started mixing I was stoked to find DiYorDie had a somewhat close clone of it. His one shot was my first foray into mixing. So this profile holds a special place for me.  Fast forward a couple years and I haven't messed with tobacco's much for some time now. Then do to popular reviews I finally pick up holy holy RY4 and some Flavorah Tobaccos , and try Cardinal. Blown away. Freaking delicious.  So now comes this, not quite a straight up Pistachio Cardinal, and not quite PRY4 with holy holy ry4 subbed. More of an inspired by: 2 greats situation. 

Company | Flavor | % :--------|:--------:|---------: FA | Bourbon (Vanilla Bourbon) | 1 FW | Hazelnut | .5 DIYFS | Holy Holy Grail Ry4 | 5 TPA | Pistachio | 2 WF | Pistachio Cream (SC) | 1.5 FLV | Red Burley | .75

Thanks! Hope you like it. Honestly it's pretty tasty after about 3 days but ive found 10-14 days really brings it to its full potential!

Berried Alive

A thick sweet cream topped by a beautiful berry blend.

|Flavor Co.|Flavor|%| |:-|:-|:-| |JF|Bavarian Cream|3| |FA|Bilberry|0.5| |FLV|Cream|1| |INW|Custard|1| |FA|Forest Fruit|3| |FA|Juicy Strawberry|2| |INW|Lemon Mix|0.25|

10.75% Total / Minimum 2 Week Steep

JF Bavarian Cream is super thick. It's sweet, creamy, and velvety with subtle tones of vanilla. This is the base for our cream that those berries sit on top of. This is hands down my new favorite Bavarian Cream.

FA Bilberry is a tart, wild and dark blueberry. It helps build some contrast between the creams and the fruits. It's that little extra accent that is so helpful in delivering a realistic berry experience.

FLV Cream helps boost the cream base. It's thick. It's pretty self explanatory when it comes to adding density and creaminess. It adds a touch of dairy, but nothing too dramatic.

INW Custard is basically king of custards. In this recipe it takes a back seat to the Bavarian Cream and helps boost the thickness and richness, without adding any of that egginess. It's an excellent accent flavor for creams.

FA Forest Fruit is my favorite berry blend. It's bright and juicy. Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries and Black Currants. It's an awesome blend that is the focal point of the berries.

FA Juicy Strawberry is so delicious. Easily my favorite strawberry at this point in time. It's sweet and ripe and really sits nicely with the other berries. This addition to to fruit combination really sets it apart from other berry mixes and keeps it fresh.

INW Lemon Mix makes the berries POP.

I'm giving this one a go, I only need the Lemon Mix.

I can't exactly keep to all of the flavours, going to use TFA Bav Cream, and I think this is the perfect opportunity to try out my FA Premium Custard.

&#x200B;

Sounds delicious.

It's going to be a while though. I don't speed steep anymore, so at minimum I will let it wait for a month. You buggers are all lucky to mix at 70/30 / 60/40. Shake n Vape and PG intolerance don't go hand in hand.

&#x200B;

I guess I could have an early tasty 24 Feb, I made this, the Berried Alive and the Holy Pistachio. Oh and the Monkey Cakes, below.

&#x200B;

I hope so, that Premium Custard is quite new to me.

I love the classic TPA Bavarian Cream. It's one of my favorite creams/flavors in general and I've heard that the JF version is potentially even tastier so I'm definitely excited to try it. Plus this recipe is using some of my favorite fruits!

by grettledudeover 6 years ago

This looks delicious, but sadly I'm missing JF Bavarian Cream, FA Forrest Mix and INW Custard. Are there any possible subs? Here's my ATF stash fwiw.

2 points
 
by xGRANITExover 6 years agoSilky

You could probably replace jf bavarian cream with flavor west.

Fa forest fruit can't really be subbed.. maybe cap harvest berry but it won't be the same at all..

Inw Custard is another must have.. if prob sub it with another custard you have on hand, but again it will change the profile. Maybe cap vc..

by grettledudeover 6 years ago

I understand. My current stash was all I got on my first order, I just couldn't afford everything I wanted all at once. But I'll definitely keep looking around for those concentrates you use for my next purchases. Thanks for the suggestions anyway! Maybe I'll try it just to have a good berry custard on hand.

This is a simple recipe inspired by u/vapedistrict in this thread.

Vendor |Concentrate | %
:-- |:--|:-- FA |Fuji |2.0% FA |Vanilla Bourbon |2.0% LA |Cream Cheese Icing |1 .0%

Fuji Sweet juicy apple, has a musky off note to some- I shake the shit out of this concentrate before I use it.

Vanilla Bourbon Not the best Vanilla concentrate out there, but it has an interesting wet mouthfeel where most vanillas are bone dry.

Cream Cheese Icing Forget the bun, just lick all the cream out of the little cup like a dog.

by RandallFlagg1over 6 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

This is insanely gross with a 10 day steep. Some hits taste similar to a cream soda, and others I get are some slight vanilla apple cream cheese mix that is difficult to describe. It's one of those recipes that sounds off but since I had them all I figured I'd give it a try. What does this concoction taste like to you?

1 points
 
by Prometheus_unwoundover 6 years ago

Hint of apple with cream cheese icing. I preferred it with 0.25% sucralose, but it was pretty good without; certainly not as vile as what you are describing. It’s interesting that you get such a strong Cream Cheese after a steep at just 1%, I wouldn’t even expect that from LA cream cheese icing at 3%.

1 points
 
by RandallFlagg1over 6 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

Vile might be an overstatement. I think it's the vanilla that is too much for me, I have some weird issues with vanilla candles. I should also mention that I can not vape any "baked goods" type of vape as it bothers my sense of taste so I am sure that I am not most people. Even though I do not like this one I really appreciate the recipe, I don't have time to make up my own and rely on others to find something I can vape. Thinking about dumping half to reduce the vanilla to 1%, and then re-testing.

This recipe is heavily inspired by this by DiscipleVapor on ATF.

It's a little thing I have been working on, seeing as I do love pancake flavoured vapes. I switched out a few of the original ingredients:

Banana Nut Bread by TPA with Nut Banana by MB cause I think it gives a great taste! Although lacking the cake part. But that I fixed - see below.

Vanilla Bean Gelato by TPA with Vanilla Swirl by TPA - Here I wanted something a little close to home, as Vanilla Swirls are a hit here where I'm from, and it does go good with pancakes.

CAP Vanilla Cup Cake with CAP Cake Batter - Lacking the cake flavour from the Banana Bread, I decided on Cake Batter for the taste. Also, the original recipe was focused a little bit more on the vanilla part, where my preference is more towards heavy buttery flavour, and Cake Batter to me adds to that as well.

It's still a work in progress and I'm still tweaking the numbers a little, but so far I think it's pretty gosh darn good.

I kept 4 of the ingredients from the original thus far and I believe they do their work to perfection.

&#x200B;

TPA | Banana Cream | 3%

MB | Nut Banana | 2%

CAP | Golden Butter | 1%

TPA | Pancake | 2%

INW | Shisha Vanilla | 0.85%

TPA | Vanilla Swirl | 1%

CAP | Cake Batter | 1.25%

&#x200B;

And happy new year to you all!

Ya might want to edit that last flavor ;) Cookie butter, I think you said Cake batter. TPA pancake was one of my first flavors. That stuff scared me lol. The color was a little surprising.

by Kittybit8over 6 years ago

Thanks for noticing! I shall correct it!

And yeah, TPA pancake scared the living hell out of me too when I first saw the colour of it. I managed to convince myself, that it possibly couldn't be wrong and I should just go with it. Glad I did!

Donut Lips

Bakery/dessert flavors are my kryptonite and I was inspired by CloudAlchemist's Festiva, but it wasn't "doughnutty" enough. Festiva is funnel-cakey and strawberry-forward; I wanted the sweet shock of a vanilla-iced glazed doughnut with a drizzle of strawberry on top. It's on the high end at 14% flavor but this is my first mix from scratch so notes are more than welcome if you decide to mix it.

&#x200B;

|Company|Flavor|%| |:-|:-|:-| |CAP|Sugar Cookie|2.5| |CAP|VBIC|3| |RF (SC)|Fried Dough|2.5| |FA|Meringue|2| |FA|Strawberry|1.5| |FA|Marzipan|1| |TFA|Ripe Strawberry|1.5|

I mix at 50/50, 6mg. Vape on dual Claptons @ ~0.55Ω in an Aromamizer Plus.

Just a thought as you mentioned it wasn't doughnutty enough - you could try removing the VBIC altogether and replacing with ~2.5% FA Zeppola.

|Company|Flavor|Percentage| |:-|:-|:-| |FA|Papaya|3%| |FA|Passion (Passionfruit)|2%| |FLV|Pink Guava|2.5%| |CAP|Super Sweet|0.25%| |CAP|Sweet Mango|4%| |FLV|Yakima Hops|1.25%|

This is a recipe that I made with Max Savage to scratch my itch for a funky fruit mix. My favorite part of this recipe is FA Papaya. It really does a fantastic job of rounding out the sharp edges of FLV Yakima Hops, FLV Pink Guava, and FA Passion. It ends up being somewhat of a tropical smoothie thing. Let me know if you give it a shot!

Ah man, I just ran out of that. I currently have TFA and FW natural to work with. I guess I'll have to get more but might try it with FW. This looks just my style. Thanks!

I've had to sub FLV Guava with CAP Sweet Guava. My word what an awesome recipe.

I made it 2 Feb, opened it about 3 weeks ago, nice long steep for maxvg, goes down beautifully.

&#x200B;

This tastes to me exactly like a mixed punch, and where it has just started to ferment and make bubbles, right there where the sugar is being used. If you've ever made pineapple beer then you'd know what I am talking about, just imagine making beer from fruit punch, this one here is right there just before it starts to bubble.

&#x200B;

Excellent ADV, there really is nothing in this recipe you can get tired of, this recipe is being saved. At 13.5% flavour it's not exactly thirsty on the budget, in fact I might even drop the total percentage to 12%.

&#x200B;

Well done!

This is Fig Newtons in vape form. JF Biscuit, FA Cookie, and CAP Sugar Cookie are the cookie base. FLV Cinnamon Crunch adds just a hint of spice. VT Red Dates fills out the inner diameter with fruit paste. VT Fig adds the quintessential fig. Let it steep for 7 days and you're good to go.

/u/Apexified, you asked for this, yeah?

#Blue Eyes White Dragon

I posted this in the blueberry FotW thread, but figured it might be worth throwing here as well. The blueberry and peach play off of each other well, sort of a bright and sweet sort of fruit medley, especially with the Dragonfruit pulling everything together. The cooling effect is just enough to sort of round off any harshness and make the whole mix feel a bit more refreshing overall.

Flavor Co. | Flavor | % ------|------|------- FA | Bilberry | 2.7% FW| Bluberry | 2.7% FA| White Peach | 2.7% TFA | Peach Juicy | 2.7% INW | Pitaya | 1.5% OTHR | WS-23 | 1.0%

Another mix in the same vein:

#Chase the Dragon

Cherry and dragonfruit frozen lemonade. It's not exactly a natural cherry, more of a cherry snow cone or sherbet type flavor, but coupled with the tart lemonade and being helped along by the Pitaya it rounds out to be a tasty sort of summery mix which might just be a hair at odds with the snow coming down outside right now.

Flavor Co. | Flavor | % -----|------|-------- LA | Lemonade | 4.0% TFA | Cherry extract | 2.0% INW | Cherry | 1.0% INW | Pitaya | 1.5% OTHR | WS-23 | 1.0%

TFA doesn't have a concentrate called just "cherry". Is this possibly cherry extract?

I thought I would bring in the new year with a simple yet very tasty 123: [Smoked Cream 123](http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2848541/smoked+cream+123) .

&#x200B;

  • Flv Smoked Butterscotch 1%
  • Flv Vanilla Pudding 2%
  • VT Vanilla Cream 3%

Its a very rich vanilla cream with a smoky sweet back note.

Yep. 1% is enough in any other recipe to get the Peach flavor. It's low here to boost the Apricot.

Yeah I usually use it at .5% or so to boost other peaches but I enjoy it a lot for that type of application. Never tried boosting apricot with it though, I'll definitely be mixing this up!

#GTKK 2019

Co.| Flavor | % ---|---|---- FW | White Chocolate| 3 FLV | White Chocolate | 2 CAP | Vanilla Whipped Cream | 2 FLV | Eisai Tea | 1 WF | Crispy Wafer | 1 FW | Sweetener | 1

10% total flavor, steep for a week.

Unless you’re a pepper taster who can’t vape TFA White Chocolate, there was nothing wrong with /u/ExclusiveGirl’s Green Tea Kit Kat recipe from October 2016. It was a great idea, well-crafted from the best ingredients at the time. But at the time was more than two years ago. We’ve got better tools for this job now. FE Green Tea is better than TFA (grass) or FA (ass) but it’s still too floral, thankfully we now have FLV Eisai Tea, which tastes much closer to the matcha flavoring in those Green Tea Kit Kats. WF Crispy Wafer also better job than CAP Sugar Cookie in getting that crispy inside. I’ve replaced TFA White Chocolate with a combination of FLV and FW White Chocolates – no more black pepper and a great combination of top and mid-range notes that I'm again stealing from Jbird– and added some sweetness. Earlier versions were missing some creaminess, so I carried over one ingredient from the original recipe, CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream, which fills a small gap in the white chocolate duo.

Been a pretty long time since I've had the time to put up some public work. Have a look if you're interested!

Castle Longer

  • 1% (TPA) Brown Sugar
  • 1% (CAP) Cereal 27
  • 5% (TPA) Coconut Candy
  • 2.5% (TPA) Kentucky Bourbon
  • 2% (TPA) Red Oak
  • 1.5% (TPA) Toasted Almond
  • 1.5% (TPA) Vanilla Swirl
  • 0.5% (FA) Whisky

Touching base with an old friend recently, he expressed his long love affair with Castle Long. It was an old profile that I hadn't visited in a very long time. Being who I am I couldn't resist a take on the old versions we've all tried and try to do something a bit bigger and a bit bolder with it.

The Coconut: While I'm fairly positive the original used TPA Coconut Extra, I feel like it goes too quickly to hand lotion without a ridiculously long steep, and it's just less forgiving. TPA Coconut Candy is creamier, sweeter, and frankly just better all around IMO. At 5% it's bold, bright, and doesn't fade behind the wall of other stuff we got going on here.

The Almond: It's two parts here, with TPA Toasted Almond leading the way, with some CAP Cereal 27 to back up the nutty background while also giving a faint bit of grain. The grain texture also serves to boost up the Red Oak in our Bourbon Layer

The Bourbon: TPA Kentucky Bourbon is still the most buildable bourbon on the market to me. At 2.5% it's plenty bold enough to come all the way through, with a little FA Whisky to give a fair bit of peaty bite to the top end. TPA Red Oak helps it hit those woody notes

The finisher: TPA Vanilla Swirl gives us a mild body at 1.5% and a fairly bright vanilla. Along with a healthy splash of TPA Brown Sugar we get a rounded sweetness without too much extra heavy background.

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating it! Cheers!

Just a quick, vaguely s'mores, simple recipe. I'm a big fan of short recipes since I'm lazy and it cuts down on time, so this one only has 3 flavors. I looked at a few different s'mores recipes on all recipes and ballparks these proportions and am quite happy with it. It's sweet but not too sweet, and has a distinct yet mild marshmallow and Graham cracker flavor.

Simple S'mores

Company | Flavor | % :--------|:--------:|---------: FW | Graham Cracker | 3.0 TFA | Marshmallow | 3.5 CAP | Super Sweet | 0.75

Also made a recipe that I want to share because I hate it and that I came up with it. Basically was excited to try some lychee flavor I just got and thought a lychee strawberry menthol vape sounded delicious. Probably would work great with different flavors or percentages but this seriously tasted like a light pickle flavor. It was oddly not the worst juice I've had, and was actually vape able. Something about the low menthol percentage manifesting as tang and muting the fruity Ness of Sweet Lychee, but not muting the vaguely pungent flavor of it.

hate pickles

Company | Flavor | % :--------|:--------:|---------: CAP | Sweet Lychee | 2 TFA | Strawberry | 2 Purilum | WS-3 | 0.5
