submitted about 6 years ago by AutoModeratorBootylicious

Got a bunch of flavors but not sure how to make them work together? Post your list here, and our team of semi-professional mixologists will make suggestions for you! Don't forget to include manufacturers' names for all of your concentrates, and make your list easier to read by using bullet points or at least listing each of your flavors on a new line by hitting return twice after each flavor.

There are also a few resources in the sidebar where you can register a free account, input your flavors, sort by rating, and either mix something up or be inspired to make something with your ingredients.

Happy Mixing!

by juthincabout 6 years agoI improved Grack and all I got was this lousy flair

3% Cap blueberry
2% fw lemonade
1% tfa honeysuckle

Should be a decent floral fruity candy kinda thing.

also, /u/id10-t may have some use for that mango thing...

Always nice to get feedback. Glad it worked out for ya, even without me including the standard disclaimer (ie: cooling and sweetener to taste, percentages are given as a starting point - you may enjoy a different balance more) so whahey.

I’m blurry eyed with exhaustion now but I’ll try to come up with something mango for you in the morning

bless you! I do love your mango blossom macaron, it’s the first actual recipe I’ve used

If you're looking to acquire more flavors, I think you should consider the ones you need to make this: Mango Beauregarde. But in the meantime, how about a nice mango cream tobacco?

  • 2% FLV Mango
  • 1.5% FLV Cured Tobacco
  • 1% FLV Native Tobacco
  • 2% TFA RY4 Double
  • 3% FW Butterscotch Ripple

Or Mango Iced Tea?

  • 10% TFA Sweet Tea
  • 1.5% FLV Mango
  • 0.5% WS-23
  • 0.25% TFA Honeysuckle
  • 0.15% INW Cactus
  • 0.15% CAP Super Sweet

TFA Peach, TFA Apple, TFA Lychee, TFA Watermelon, TFA Mango. Looking for good fruity combo :)

2 points
 
by noccy8000about 6 years agoMixologist

Stone fruit usually pairs well; try peach and mango and maybe add 0.5% or so of the lychee for some extra sweetness. For a second combo the apple should be able to elevate the watermelon, but personally I would add some honeydew to that mix as well. Hope this helps :)

Thank you! Sounds delightful, I'll definitely give those a try!

  • TFA Peach Juicy
  • TFA Orange Cream

  • Jamaican Rum, Honey, Caramel.
  • Cake Batter, Blueberry, maybe White Chocolate.
  • Peach Juicy, Jamaican Rum, Coconut.
  • Orange Cream, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
  • Cereal 27, Honey, White Chocolate, maybe Caramel.

What do you say? Do I've got something going with these ideas? Thanks in advance :)

Your stash is pretty good. Let it fly around 2%. 3% for main notes. Save for the caramel and rum,1%.

Glag, I just dumped a batch of too high FA Caramel in a mix, gave it four months.

by Unoerroabout 6 years ago

Good tips, thanks! Think I went a little bit overboard yesterday with like 11-12% total in flavour, with 7 ingredients haha, tryna be a pro too quickly.

2 points
 
by beleniakabout 6 years ago

11-12% total is pretty normal for a finished total %, so no worries on that.

If I'm experimenting, I'll stick to a two or three flavour base that I know works well, then add something. This is about 60% "not too bad", a third of those "ding!". The other 40%? A flavour I'd hate anyway (1st time test), or percentages of it way off for the mix.

Make notes on what went wrong for round 2 :)

I used to vape 4% orange cream 6% vbic alot when I first started wasn't great but was pretty good.

Just made this and I'm digging it. You can make a similar recipe with your flavors.

Cereal 27 CAP @ 3% Caramel TPA @ 1% White chocolate TPA @3% Almond FA @ 1% Coconut FA @2% Sweet cream TPA @ 2% Super sweet CAP @ 0.5%

1 points
 
by Unoerroabout 6 years ago

Oh thanks I'm gonna try that! I actually made a similar one yesterday with:

FA Honey 1%, FLV White Chocolate 3%, CAP Cereal 27 5%, FA Caramel 0,5% and FA Coconut 0,5%.

It actually tasted pretty good, but it was a bit light/hollow flavour (maybe just lack of steeping?), so I added 1ML Blueberry and 0,5ML Sweet Cream, which made it worse (to note, the juice is 40ML in total + Nicotine).

1 points
 
by Morgan_Druryabout 6 years agoCoil Sauce Sommelier

You said what you made was a bit light/hollow, what exactly are you looking for in terms of this combo?

-Main profile -Secondary accent

From there it can be built off of.

I'd try:

Rum 1.5

TPA VBIC 3

fa caramel 1.5

i usually use caramel at 2 but playing it safe here.

You’ll probably have to tweak it some but should be a start.

I am brand new to DIY and I have mixed a few bottles while playing around but I would love some suggestions. I ordered a Liquid Barn DIY kit and I don't know what to do with these flavors. Any recommendations would be nice.
LB-Peach
LB-Sour
LB-Sweetener
LB-Belgian Waffle
LB-Blue Raspberry
LB-Coconut Milk
LB-Cherry Blossom Tea
LB-Cream
LB-Strawberry
LB-Pink Lemonade

> LB-Peach

Pair that with a toxic waste dump. Even people with the questionable taste required to not despise peach, despise that i believe it was described as a bad peach candy that had been regurgitated. And not even wiped off.

1 points
 
by CultureVioletabout 6 years ago

Try something like 5% Pink Lemonade, 3% Blue Raspberry, 2.5% Peach, 1.5% Strawberry. You could try 0.5-1% of the sour if youd like but I havent a clue how potent it is.

No problem! Just tossed those together, haven’t tried them myself, but they should work as a start! Might have to tweet the %s a bit after you try it

by mcriddyabout 6 years ago

Also just started this week, this is what I have:

Flavor Apprentice - Apricot Flavor

Flavor Apprentice - Green Tea Flavor

Flavor Apprentice - Honeydew

Flavor West - Blood Orange

Flavour Art - Cucumber

Flavour Art - Grape White

Inawera - Cactus Flavor

I made a mix with green tea (14%) but then I learned that's probably way too strong. I put a splash of cactus in there also and I think cactus should probably only be used very sparingly. So that mix was pretty much a fail.

My next batch was 3% Cucumber, 2% Honeydew, 2% Blood Orange, and that was pretty good, though perhaps a bit light. So, just figuring out the right proportions of things still..

Any tips on making something go well with Green Tea? Or other suggestions?

I don't have a lot of experience with most of those flavors, but there are a few things you can do to make your life a bit easier.

Instead of ordering random flavors that sound good, look up highly rated recipes on ATF and/or ELR (just be careful with ELR, they have a lot of old and outdated recipes on there), and then buy the flavors needed specifically for those recipes.

Also, on ATF, if you click on a flavor, it will tell you what the average % used is. This will prevent you from going way over or way under the amount needed for each flavor.

by mcriddyabout 6 years ago

Thanks! I haven't seen ATF yet, currently looking through. My problem is I really don't like sweet vapes, and a lot of recipes (and commercial juices) tip in that direction, so I thought I'd experiment myself. Turns out its a bit difficult to do that so I'll pore through the recipes before my next order.

by juthincabout 6 years agoI improved Grack and all I got was this lousy flair

Research individual flavors, then. Certain flavors are just not worth buying (even tho any number of people bought them because they sounded interesting, or they meant to buy FLV Sweet Cream but the vendor onlybhad the TFA version and they mistakenly believed that was what they were supposed to get, or whatever it was that happened. But there's no reason to suffer through trying to test and use TFA Cat Piss or FA Tire Fire or FLV fungus cereal, etc... Just got through the flavor reviews, the FotW discussions on flavors you think you'd like to try picking up some version of, and even the quick&dirty flavor notes from the weekly thread. Find whatever info you can about what you want. If you can't find anything, check the flavor on atf and see if it is used much at all. Check recipes that use tje flavor to see what they say the flavor does for the recipe. If it isn't used much, there are three possibilities:

  1. The flavor is tough to obtain.

  2. The flavor sucks.

  3. Nobody has taken a chance on it yet and it is the best version of the flavor ever. Or at least it doesn't suck. Or whatever in between. So maybe four possibilities, meh. Could also be that there's a well established 'best' version of the flavor that nobody has seen a need to try other brands...

Not a lot there. I'm thinking a orange/tangerine-pineapple blend, maybe. Don't have access to my full records to suggest that tho...

Currently on some Tropical Freeze. Interested in some dessert recipes, also would like to make use of the LA Lemonade. I know I probably need some more flavors to make use of the RY4 double, but if there is anything I can make with that, that would be great. Also putting in an order soon, so if i'm missing a few flavors that would help, I would love some recommendations. Thanks in advance!
