I have discovered something amazing. Do not quite know which way I will go if Valley Vapour does not start stocking Loco concentrates...

Shall index as soon as we know about the Loco concentrates if ok from your side?
 
Im very happy with this.

Im not sure about the curing time as I had the Extreme Ice curing for 2 weeks, then a few days ago I added the rest. Left till today... love it:

Bruised Berry Ice

FW Extreme Ice 4%
TFA Cotton Candy 0.5% (I like adding this to Menthol as it smoothens any rough edges)
TFA Koolada 0.6%
FA Bilberry 0.8%
FA Black Cherry 0.5%
INW Raspberry 0.5%

Its light on the Fruit, but the Menthol is clean, so the fruit comes out nicely.

It tastes like an easy going Mild (but defintely cold) Menthol with a touch of Dark Wild Berries. Its not Blueberry, but defintely dark berry tasting.

You get a hint of Dark Cherry on the exhale, which is a nice contrast.

It will defitely be a summer adv for me.

Im very happy with Extreme Ice. Ive always wanted a Menthol with a touch of fruit. But Menthol usually kills anything... so I would have to go heavier on fruits or too light on menthol.

But Extreme Ice works the way I wanted.

Ah, I like the look of that. Is Dark Cherry and Black Cherry the same thing?
 
Hi guys, im looking for a peppermint/menthol concentrate that is mild. You can taste the peppermint and you know that it is there but it is not overpowering the rest of the recipe. All the mixes I tried came out as cold and as powerful as an avalanche. So looking for something mild a menthol that hits all the peppermint notes. BTW anyone tried Inawera Peppermint shisha?

Maybe CAP Cool Mint - https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/5dz19n/cap_cool_mint/

Personally I like INW Eucalyptus & Mint, if that might be your taste: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice...calyptus_w_mint_what_to_vape_when_youre_sick/

Hi

Have you made headway with steeping on this? A new batch yet or just the one mix?

Just keep in mind, it's light on fruit - the way I enjoy Menthol.

So if you want more fruit, of coarse go higher. BUT all those fruits are strong, so do so gently.

Already tested at your pc and its fantastic. Cant wait for steeping. Low on juice.

100ml made and on to another Xtreme ice standalone.

I can't seem to find the Bowden's Mate clone @Andre recommended.

It is one of my new favourites. Better that Cuprian for me. Just perfect Peppermint/Choc/ Vanilla.

Top recipe!

Thank you @rogue zombie, glad you like it. We discussed it in another thread. Shall post it here shortly. Here you go:
Andre's Mate
TgxP4OA.jpg

5 Pawns Bowden's Mate has been an ADV for me for a very long time. When I started DIYing, one of my goals was to create an interpretation worthy of the real thing. I tried every clone recipe out there I could find - none came even close. More than 6 months and 20 versions later, the one below ticks all the boxes for me - a really simple recipe compared to some of the others tried. A thank you to @Patrick for getting me to lose Acetyl Pyrazine completely and use FA Peppermint and @method1 who first alerted me to INW Milk Chocolate.

The Peppermint, Menthol and Koolada percentages below are as close to the real juice as one can get imo, but feel free to play around with these to suit your personal taste. I know @rogue zombie uses 1 % Peppermint, 1 % Menthol and adds 1 % Koolada.

Steep: INW Milk Chocolate starts coming into its own from about 10 days. EDIT: Some members have reported here that anything from 2 weeks to 1 month is optimum.

ANDRE'S MATE
INW Milk Chocolate (old formula) 2.5 % [EDIT: The old formula of this is now scarce. JF Milk Chocolate at the same percentage works perfectly.]
TFA French Vanilla Creme 1.5 %
CAP Vanilla Custard V1 1.0 %
FA Peppermint 1.75 % (anything from 1.5 to 2.0 % will work, depending on your taste)
TFA Menthol 0.5 % (increase or decrease to suit your taste)
TFA Koolada 0.5 % (increase or decrease to suit your taste)

Total flavour: 7.75 %

EDIT: Now on ELR: http://tjek.nu/r/8DHB

I was thinking, maybe, some sort of 'Ecigssa DIY recipe of the year' comp would be cool... since the scene has just exploded this year.

That recipe would get my vote

Of course I don't have TFA French vanilla creme. I wonder what I can sub it for, the recipe itself looks awesome. Maybe some normal TFA French Vanilla might do or maybe even FA Madagascar

I reckon French Vanilla will do just fine.

But imo TFA French Vanilla Creme is an underrated Vanilla. I'm surprised to not find it used more.
