###Congrats to /u/bigtidder for somehow having the top-rated recipe last month: Liquorice Milk (I wouldn't have guessed there were enough licorice fans to pull that off)
Co. | Flavor | % ---|---|---- WF | Ripe Pear | 2 FA | Pear | 2 JF | Fuji | 1 CAP | Kiwi | 1 TFA | Honeysuckle | 0.5
A long time ago (2016, which is like decades in vaping/mixing years), I tried to make a pear recipe that captured my favorite type of pear, the Nashi pear or Asian apple-pear. I did the best I could with the ingredients I had at time. Here it is again, a little better. I've not eaten one of these pears in some time, but this is closer to what I remember. Here's what I used and why.
WF Ripe Pear is the foundation this whole thing is built on. I used TFA Pear before but it's really too sharp and strong to easily bend into one of these sweet and mild juicy delights. WF Ripe Pear is softer and sweeter but still has the body. FA Pear makes it juicy. A touch of TFA Honeysuckle gives it just the right kind of sweet florality, it's that lovely speckled skin of the apple-pear and part of the sugary juice at the same time. I used JF Fuji instead of the FA Fuji to get the appleyness right this time - the old recipe used FA Fuji but that kinda spicy skin too much and it was way too sharp. I smoothed it out with TFA Marshmallow before, but that pulled it off target a bit. Tasting the old recipe again, I get a hint of vanilla and creamiess from the marshmallow that just doesn't belong. Adding a bit of Marshmallow to sweeten, smooth over, and fill out things is so 2016, anyway. Just use better ingredients to begin with and you won't need to do that. JF being softer and not having that hard apple skin eliminated the need for all that mess.
CAP Kiwi is a terrible kiwi flavor. Don't buy it to mix this, it's not worth it. It's not offensive, it doesn't even really even taste like a kiwi. But it's very sweet and just a touch of it makes this taste more like the the Nashi pear than the Ethyl Maltol I used to try to blend with Honeysuckle to get the flavor right four years ago. I'm pleased to have finally found a use for the stuff, and if you have it already, maybe you will be too.
This is not a boldly flavored recipe. It's not meant to be. It's aping a fruit that has a pleasant mild flavor and is meant to be an ADV that doesn't stress the palate with intensity. I'll make a blow-your-face off recipe next, maybe.
I don't have Cap Kiwi already, do you have any suggestions of what to replace it with?
Do you have TFA Pear Candy already? That might work.
This is right up my alley. One of the reasons im getting into DIY, other than affordability and the flavor ban is to start understanding and enjoying REAL flavor profiles. Subtle All Day vapes that are well thought out and blended. Not loaded with sweeteners to mask the fact that its just another mass produced e juice.
MOTHERS MANGO MILK
Something I've been working on and getting around to cracking the first bottle now. I think recipes like this will always be changing and improving batch by batch. The backstory is I loved the Mothers Milk clone from the net and it was my first DIY mix so I've always kinda loved it for the fact it was the flavour that convinced me DIY can work. Since then I've made a lot of other flavours and tried a lot of other people's recipes, I especially love God Milk by whom I cant remember and the Mother of God Milk that came as a remix of that and Mother of Dragons Milk. I go through a lot of my personal take on those type recipes probably 60mL a week at least, so wanted to mix up something else for incase I ever run out of Strawberry.
CAP Sweet Mango 6%
CAP Bavarian Cream 3%
TPA Cheesecake Graham Crust 3%
CAP Vanilla Custard 2%

You can also mix this mostly TPA if you feel the need, I just used CAP as the flavours were less of a dig through my stash (and taste better in final product). Can go TPA if you want more of a Suicide Bunny style flavour but then again this an original recipe not a clone or anything so can do whatever with it. Been thinking about trying the Buttercream in it as well. Might pop back with explanations on each flavour added after work tonight, but for now here is the recipe :)
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been playing with mango a lot lately but still trying to figure out pairings and levels of the different mango flavors I have. I’ve so far been messing with mango and creams with other tropical fruits but have not (and with just a hint of menthol or mint). So far I have not messed with crust type flavors at all. Except that I got VT Lemon Meringue Tart a couple days ago and love it. Will crusts help add some “bottom” or depth to the overall mix?
No worries. That's the great thing with DIY E-Juice you can make whatever you want. Could do a Mango Custard Tart or something like that, or Mango Cheesecake with extra Crust. Endless possibilities but yeah I definitely find having Mango mixed into things makes it more of a Star, I like Mango by itself but needs multiple different Mangos to get a real Mango flavour. Where as with a Mango Cheesecake or something you get your Mango Fruit flavours, your creamy Cheesecake filling and your crust all as kind flavours you can pick out of the mash.
What I’m finding is that with mango mixes and with lemons, I’m wanting something else either to add juiciness (have been trying cactus, pear, and dragonfruit) or creaminess and fullness (so trying different creams and marshmallow). That they seem a bit thin or one dimensional on their own. I have been trying different combos of the same flavor (have about 6 different mangoes and same for lemon, some just came in). But I need to read up more on pairings that will really help make these main flavors pop—without just going in for sweeteners etc. But I get that some of this is just a matter of trying different things and seeing what works. And maybe I need to start trying some crust flavors to see how they play with those two fruits...
Getting my first batch of flavors in soon, if I were to sub out CAP Sweet Mango for either FLV Mango, TFA Philippine Mango, or EUR Yellow mango what % should I try any of those at? I love mango and definitely would like to try this out for one of my first mixes.
I'll have to have a look into them, I haven't tried any of the above yeah but would say TFA Mango at around similar % or FLV Mango at like 1-2% as FLV is very strong, that may even be too strong. I'll have another look into them and try reply back later with a solid answer.

This is my cannoli recipe. I might rearrange some things and test it with a little OOO Powdered Sugar, but this is nice. The first few tests were all missing something and almond wasn’t working. Then I tried the macadamia and it all came together.

This is one that got lost in the mix with my testers for about 2 weeks. Cones across to me like a tropical juice mix except you put your house up for collateral to sell it so there might be an ingredient or two that aren't technically tropical haha.

This recipe is an homage to Inaweras Sesame, the flavor that kept me off cigarettes when I started vaping.
A sweet and fluffy bakery profile with just the right amount of crusty spiciness and fresh apple slices inside.
INW Biscuit, OoO Yellowcake, CAP Sugar Cookie and FA Custard Premium build the bakery base of this recipe. The yellowcake tastes amazing but lacks some creaminess which is why I added the one and only premium custard. Biscuit and sugar cookie take care of crust and delicious sweetnesses.
FA Fuji Apple is amazing on its own but gets some help by FA Lime Tahity adding a little sour juiciness and TPA Dragonfruit which helps the apple flavor not to get lost between the bakery flavors.
And then there is the star of this recipe. INW Sesame is a strong concentrate that gets far too little attention. It’s toasted, nutty notes are the key to make this recipe what it is. Get your hands on this flavor if you don’t own it yet! I know you will like it.
Give this mix at least 10 days to steep because that’s when the sesame will start to kick in!
I mixed this for my dvarw and vapefly holic mtl attys but please let me know how it performs on a DL device.
I've walked a while now down the Berry Path. This recent combination turned out pretty well so I thought I'd share.

#Strap-On, Eh?
All-Wonder Flavours (WF)
Flavor | % ---|--- Sour Watermelon Candy | 3% Strawberry (Juicy) | 2% Thai Apple | 1.5%
Welcome to Canada! Right over here is our favorite pub, the Woozy Moose. Hockey is on 24/7, except on Boxing Day. They only serve Labatt beer, but they've got 35 different flavors of maple syrup on tap. And over here is the Silky Beaver, the neighbourhood Canadian ballet, or as you folks might call it, the strip club. It's all above board, the ladies who work there make a decent wage and get free healthcare just like everyone else, but feel free to toss them a toonie or loonie for a job well done! And then, everything else is just ice: icicles, snow, and a big frozen lake. Throw on your best flannel, light up your legal cannabis, and mix this ode to the maple leaf, the proud and majestic moose, the Royal Canadian Mounted police, a bunch of hosers going ice fishing, hot tubs filled with sticky hairy men, and polite, apologetic sex.
TLDR: Made a Strap-On (Strawberry-Apple-Watermelon) out of Canada-based Wonder Flavours for all you hat people and it is delicious lung candy. Sorry.
I didn't bother trying this with the WF Strawberry Gummy Candy or WF Baked Strawberry. I was afraid the Gummy one would be weird with Thai Apple and the baked one would be weird with the Sour Watermelon Candy. The Juicy Strawberry, I thought, would fit with them both, and it tastes like I thought right this time. This is only V2 - the first one had a little too much watermelon at 4%, but at 3% is better balanced and still plenty of flavor. This does not need sucralose. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Sour Watermelon Candy already has some in it, and regardless, the recipe is candy sweet without it. Kinda tastes like a Capri Sun that doesn't exist, but should.

I was going to add creams to make a rice pudding, but found that just the rice and nuts make for an incredibly delicious combination...so I'm keeping it vegan for now. The next thing to try would by adding a floral like jasmine or honeysuckle to this.

Steep overnight, use up within 2-3 weeks before the lemon fades too much.
This recipe is all about showcasing FLV Basil, I tried quite a few lemon combos until I found one that works to provide a nice clean, fresh, juicy citrus background for the basil to shine on. Remember to rate it at e-liquid-recipes.com!

Finally made my first juice that I liked!
I tried for a while to make different juices. Pretty sure my first batch was 3% nic on accident, my next ones were flavorless, and after that they just didn't quite taste good.
I realized my issue was that I actually wanted sweetener in my juices. Finally made my first juice that tastes awesome and it was just shake and vape. I hope it gets even better with steeping.
Tastes like a sweet blue raspberry candy. It was people from this subreddit who convinced me to try DIY and I am gonna mix up a bigger batch of this stuff and enjoy the savings from buying big name juice!
I’m going to mix this tomorrow.
It's really good! Hope you like 'em sweet
Right now I'm totally in love with my latest creation, though I'm sure it could be further improved.

WS23 (30%) @0.5-1%
Using forest fruit as a building block will get you a 'decent at worst' result 90% of the time. With as much as it has going on, I only needed a couple berries to push into a new flavor direction but still keeping the heart of the vape distinctly 'forest fruit'. Wanting to get a little more darkness up front, sweet currant was an easy grab. Blueberry juicy ripe is a flavor that I've beeen digging for awhile and it pairs nicely with the sweet currant. The dragonfruit is used at a 1 percent to add a little background note while also blending this whole thing into a tasty but nondescript berry profile. I like it with a quarter percent sweetener and mix every other 30ml with 1% ws23 but feel free to dress it up how you like.
This can be vaped off the literal shake and you will get a bit currant and blueberry forward vape but delicious none the less, 24 hrs and it starts to meld together.
Real Deal: Chocolate Milk
- Cap French Vanilla 3%
- FW Hazelnut 0.75%
- FLV Milk 0.45%
- FLV Milk Chocolate 0.60%
- FA Whipped Cream (Panna Montata) 1.5%
Firstly i wanna say hello to my new community, the aim of the recipe is full boddied, dense chocolate milk with whipped cream.
Cap French Vanilla mainly base of the recipe but for me a little away from being densed full fat milk , to gave it that milky aspect i used only 0.45% FLV Milk. To me it has marshmallowy, dense texture more than milk but it is bold enough, so it fits perfect as a supplementary element . To add more DA:AP goodness and milkify our base (thnx to diacetyl) FA Whipped Cream is another key element. It could be easily get sour above %2 so %1.5 ideal to me, you can obviously lower it down to %0.75-1 range. After all to add little malty taste FW Hazelnut comes to the area as a swiss army knife.
The Chocolate Part!
I don't have enough experience with chocolates but FLV Milk Chocolate mostly compansate my expectations from chocolate part. It is chocolate syrup ,with out band aid, and more than being a plain chocalate bar but fits the scenario. It could easily overcome any other compenents so it needs to be used low.
​
TL;DR it is fluffy chocolate milk with whipped cream on top. Give it a try.
Just got the rest of my stuff today, made my first recipe with what I learned from this subreddit!
Sweet island ice
FA Mango 8% FA Dragonfruit 6% CAP Sweet Lychee 4% WS-23 .5% TFA Sweetener 2% TFA Smooth 1%
Not sure if I like FA Mango, it's good but not the mango i would look for in premium juices, any suggestions?
First and most importantly: Congrats!
But where on the sub did you learn to use FA Mango that high?
> FA Costarica Special (Mango) Yeah, it’s special, like Special Ed. It’s a very complex flavor at 2%. Top notes dry, green, a little tart, underipe, rindy. Body just a bit of odd underlying creamy mouthfeel with some musky funk to it so it’s not thin but the body is not even remotely like a natural juicy ripe mango. No juiciness here at all. Think green banana wrapped in a mango peel.
You can also read about a bunch of other mangoes in that thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/b4bmu2/mango_megareview/
I didn't specifically search for mango recipes, i probably should have done that haha. I just saw some recipes with 5-8% of the main couple flavors and started from there. I'm gonna try copying some recipes next, just wanted experiment on the first go lol.
Experimenting is a definitive perk of DIY but your experiments will be a lot more interesting if you look into the flavors first. Flavor Facts is a good resource for researching flavors.
Co. | Flavor | % ---|---|---- TFA | Pear | 4 TFA | Honeydew | 2 TFA | Honeysuckle | 1 JF | Sweet Strawberry | 3 INW | Prickly Pear | 2 Othr | WS-23 | 0.5
It's that old Honey Pearry by the Vapor Chef profile - honeydew and pear with a hint of strawberry, with some new twists.
TFA Honeydew is already outrageously juicy, and I've enjoyed recipes that use INW Cactus to make it even juicier. But if you do that, you have to deal with the taste of INW Cactus. Enter the new INW Prickly Pear. It's almost as juicy as Cactus. I don't think it actually tastes like prickly pear fruit, though it might if mixed with something like CAP Sweet Guava. But, I digress. It really tastes like some kind of juicy, sweet apple/melon blend. Which makes it a perfect complement for honeydew/pear. Next, cooling. The Honeydew-Pear pairing was already a fantastic summer juice because it's so juicy and refreshing, but I never thought to add cooling to it because Koolada/Polar Blast never seemed like it would be a good fit. Add some WS-23, though... wow.
APE BUTTER
Recently got some TFA DX peanut butter and wanted to make a kind of peanut butter, jelly sandwich without the bread interfering with things.
Somebody mentioned that FA Blackcurrant helps get most fruit flavours tasting jammy hence the addition at 1% I made a quick batch of this and it's already delicious as a SNV, so I thought I'd share it.
TFA DX Peanut butter 3.5%
FA Apricot 3.5%
FA Blackcurrant 1%
Here’s a Butterscotch RY4 I’ve been working on for a bit, and this has been my favorite variation:
TPA RY4 Double 5%
TPA DX Butterscotch 2%
FW Natural Butterscotch 2%
TPA Dx Bavarian Cream 2%
INW Shisha Vanilla 1%
FA Marshmallow 0.5%
After 1-2 weeks this comes out creamy and sweet with a nice full mouthfeel. Trying to start mixing more so I can give these longer steeps. I’ve been rotating and trying those two butterscotch flavors as well as FA Butterscotch (at 1%). FA has a “darker” profile but isn’t quite as sweet. Tried adding 1% FA Butterscotch to the recipe above, but I think it’s not quite as good (maybe I’ve hit the saturation point?) and would have benefited from a slight reduction of the other butterscotch flavors.
Been DIYing for almost 6 mos and this is the one basic recipe (in its different variations) that has become a staple for me. Trying to figure out mangoes and lemon forward recipes now (which are nicer for summer).
First recipe I’ve shared. Thanks to the community for all the info I’ve gotten here!
