Grape Soda assistance?
submitted over 6 years ago by grabmyrooster

Hi all. I'm making a return to DIY juice, mainly because I like having more money and more freedom on what I'm vaping. I stumbled across a few different grape soda recipes, and they all seem to call for a champagne flavor. I'm not much of a DIY wizard when it comes to juice, so I'm not sure if there would be a good substitute for the champagne flavor or if that's a necessity in the recipe.

Right now I've got 4% FW Grape and 2.5% FW Grape Soda, and I'm not sure what I should add to sort of smooth it out. Any ideas other than champagne, or am I SOL without it?

I make this for a buddy of mine and I enjoy it as well sometimes.

Flv grape - 1.5

Fw grape soda 4

TPA dragon fruit 1.5

Vt fizzy sherbet 3

Wf sour gummy .5

Ws23 .25

Flavorah grape is a great grape , kind of Kool aid or popsicle grape.

The fw is for sweetness.

Dragon fruit seems to work well with grape , it was missing something before I added it

Vt fizzy sherbet , wf sour gummy and ws23 make up the soda base. The sherbet for fizz , the gummy for body and the ws23 for that burn.

It's sweet enough for me , I'd try it without ant added sweetener to start with.

Yeah diabetes runs in my family so I'm not about to add more sweetener to anything grape lol but that recipe looks sick. I'm taking notes y'all are a good group to learn from.

I don't think it will effect diabetes , I was just kidding. Lol Thanks.

I was kidding too lol but seriously anything too sweet just makes me want candy and snacks. Probably a good idea to shy away from adding sweetener to the recipe

Sure , it's just for body and mouthfeel you could leave it out , or maybe add .5% marshmallow , probably go with tfa marshmallow.

Great sounding recipe man! Don't have any FLV Grape on hand but have INW Grape - do you think it would work as a sub or better off getting my hands on the FLV?

I don't have inw grape but you could try it , flv grape is worth getting though.

Thanks mate, my supplier is out of stock of FLV Grape atm so am going to mix it up when I have everything else and see what it's like with the INW.

Champagne simply adds a little of that carbonation feel. it simulates the 'bubbly' in a soda, so you'll see it in many sodas,

Here's a video to my favourite soda, he has a link to his ELR recipe as well - very tasty.

Cap lemon lime works really well with grape soda stuff.

Interesting! Hadn't thought of adding lemon lime to it. I'm placing an order in a few so I'll throw that in the cart as well.

Could try adding 2% VT Fizzy Sherbet

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

btw the reason for the recommendations on this is..." Bright Lemon-lime flavored candy with a sweet, powdery, and yeah… a bit fizzy… back end." Also try adding .25% wS-23, gives it a little bit of a cooling effect that works well with soda's from what I've seen. So with this you'll get some sweetness, some lemon-lime, a tad bit of cooling and some fizz.

My gf loves this recipe

I’m not a fan of the sweetener, and haven’t tried making it without so I don’t know how it’ll turn out. It’s almost a perfect clone though (the DIY is a bit better than the original actually)

That's a pile of sucralose fw grape soda is just grape sweetener. I like sweet but that looks like diabetes ville. 🤣

I keep meaning to mix that. For fun.

Then I think of what it will do to my Coils and cotton, and how often I'll have to deal with it.

Holy shit, next batch I'm making that. My coffee/caramel/vanilla bean ice cream can wait.

Thanks!!

Have you the knowledge to replicate something like horny flava grape e-liquids "punch" effect. The flavour is very powerful and structured.
