Regardless of what anyone else says or problems they want to see here, allow me to thank you for releasing these recipes free of charge and show my gratitude for releasing your life's work and condolences for losing your business.
Agreed. Eliquid companies closing down always get the "will you be releasing your recipes for the community" messages, then get a ton of criticism afterwards for doing just that. Fair play for making your recipes available /u/HabuVapor-Nick and I hope things go well for you from here on in
Holy fucking sweetener.
TIL that the key to getting in stores is sweetener. I stopped using the stuff a long time ago.
Oh, you have no idea. Some of the retail stuff I have seen from other companies is up to 25% sweetener. Remember, a massive amount of this was never retailed. Some of it I made at request, some of it is random stuff I put together, it's just a bunch of stuff. Most of this list never saw retail. It's just a list I have compiled over time. I still haven't touched the surface.
I'm gonna play devils advocate here, and I know I will rile some folks by saying this, but these are 4 and 5 year old recipes here folks. I'd caution new mixers from mixing any of these up. Especially the ones with FW Yellow Cake.
Regardless, thanks for releasing these OP.
All the retail juices that people are vaping are 4-5 years old and have the same type of percentages. Nothing retail is made with 14 flavors totalling 3.17%
Whose making a recipe with 14 flavors and a total percentage of 3.17?
Browsing through those recipes, most of them are around 20% flavorings or higher. Being new to DIY, I try to follow well tested recipes and keep flavorings under 15% if not under 10%. Are those high percentages a red flag or is that just how commercial liquids do?
Common with commercial and mixer recipes old like those. It's not really necessary today and is a sign of a failure to adapt to changing market.
No that's just how commercial juices often are.
And I'm pretty sure this whole "use ad little flavoring as possible" idea that this sub has is sorta nonsensical
This sub doesn't have a "use as little flavoring as possible idea."
The idea is to use what works in order to create a good recipe. You don't need to use flavorings so high and if you do, you're likely to introduce off-notes that will negatively affect the recipe and then you'd need to use 10% each of triacetin and ethyl maltol to cover it up. Back then this wasn't an issue because lower power devices were common and they couldn't as easy pick up flavor, off-notes included. So you need to/could use more before breaking the concentrate and introducing off-notes.
Now that we have higher power devices, they pick up more flavor using smaller amounts of concentrate, and therefore we need to/can use less. (which saves us money) This is also why recipes for lower powered pods typically use simpler profiles and/or higher flavoring %, generally speaking.
So you see, it isn't nonsensical. It makes perfect sense that as the gear we use changes, so must our ejuice to change along with it. If you're still unsure, feel free to mix up one of his 40-50% flavoring recipes of your choosing and put it in a modern tank or dripper around 60-80w and see for yourself.
You mean because of the diacetyl?? I mean you could just change them out for v2. Sure it will taste a little different, but new mixers wont know the difference anyway
Diacetyl? No. High percentages/older defunct flavors for normal gear we have available today. And Yellow Cake.
Its why we always caution against mixers finding recipes on ELR that old.
Pineapple Cream
- TFA Whipped Cream 15%
- FW Sweetner (sucralose) 13%
- TFA Pineapple 10%
- TFA Bavarian Cream 4%
- FW Flavor Toner/Enhancer 3.4%
I'm a little shocked. What an incredible concoction.
holy shit 13% sweetener? Is this common with commercial e liquids???
Hey, thanks for stealing my recipe! I'll be expecting a check for a percentage of your sales on that. Coming from a guy saying "fuck the system", you should really know better than doing shady shit like this. Thanks for posting all of these recipes, but stop stealing others' hard work for a goddamn quick buck.
That Strawberry Shortcake is literally NotCharlesMansons recipe. I thought these were yours?
Edit: Pardon me, you upped the biscuit by 1%...
The original entry had 2% biscuit. Soooooooo nothing was changed.
The Fruit Pebbles are the same and it does say “adapted from recipe”. If you go through them, it’s a mix of his saved recipes and his business ones.
So you're gonna tell me I spent months trying to clone stargazer, and you ain't gonna show me how far off I was?
RIP
Which is weird because he said ALL of his recipes.
Thanks for the release, a bunch of diy snobs here at times. 20%+ Sweetener Not with the times... Bah... Ignore it and thank you.
Thanks for the effort but I think the game has changed - rendering these recipes a bit out of date... For me anyway, there's no chance I'm putting that much PG, Sweetener, or overall flavor % in any of my recipes.
As a new mixer thank you for this ❤️ I was hoping some companies would do something like this if they had to close up but most I feel would be stingy (rightfully so) with their recipes . Thanks for being fucking awesome 🤘
Check out FAQ Friday: Finding Recipes I have a long list of recipes released by vendors in that post :)
Could you toss a friend a link? I'm having trouble finding it.
How about a link to all the FAQ Friday posts? It's the second one down ;)
Also, if you need to find anything in the sub just check out the first post in the sub, that one stickied at the top. It has links to everything.
Thank you for your service. What were your most popular juices, so we know where to start?
Stargazer, Creme Celeste, Habu (the only tobacco'ish flavor), Adder and Dark Chi. Stargazer was hands down, by about 100-1 the highest seller. We sold tens of thousands of bottles of it, nothing too awe inspiring but still damn proud of it.
What’s toner?
jaysus croist.... some of my flavors have less total flavoring than just the sucralose in these.
Don't judge me for my personal love of sweetener, anything on file at our manufacturer has 5% or less sweetener in it typically speaking.
