A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to order a DIY starter kit. I found the sidebar here and learned everything I could.
Now, I've got a shake and vape recipe that's awesome (prickly victory). I've got a bottle of simple sugar cookie steeping, and it smells delicious.
It's not just the recipes and results that are great. I learned which tools to avoid, which vendors to order from, which flavors are versatile and "must have" depending on your profile, and countless other details I'm forgetting.
You folks saved me a ton of frustration and likely a small pile of cash. Thank you all.
Cap Sugar Cookie is such a good flavor. Here's another delicious recipe that uses it, if you don't have the rest of the flavors they're definitely worth picking up Sugar Cookies & Cream. Also, if you like the Prickly Victory, I followed a tip from one of the OG mixers and added 0.75% FA Passionfruit and I think it's even better.
I'm going to have to start keeping a list of flavors I need to pick up. I've a pretty limited number at the moment, but I've got a few recipes covered, and a couple flavors to experiment with. Both of these are interesting. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure that just about everyone here has a list of flavors that we need to pick up.
Cap sugar cookie and Fa meringue is something wonderful. I First learned about it here: Tootsee Roll Ive since stolen it so many times over, I’m headed to flavor fricken prison.
Edit: and welcome to the fold!!!
Ive only been mixing for about a month and a half. Reddit has been a lot of help. But if you haven't checked it out the diyordie website and youtube channel is priceless. wayne rarely puts out a meh recipe. they are more often than not amazing. i've learned so much from him and his channel. i've learned about base notes and accents. ive learned how to create different effects and mouth feels. ive learned some basic combinations to create certian archetypes. his material is extremely informative and entertaining. He's one of the few youtubers with a bigger following that will take time to answer questions and interacts with chat. he is such a humble and terrific guy.
There is a company in Canada called www.driphackscanada.com and they sell the Drip Hacks Hack Shots. These are a 250ml bottle with the perfect amount of flavoring in it 50mls and all you do is fill the bottle with your VG and PG and shake and steep its that simple and will save you lots of time on mixing.
