With 2017 drawing to a close, I thought it would be apt to post the BEST DIY mixes we mixed this year!!

It does not necessarily have to be a recipe released in 2017, as some classics are timeless...

Post your absolute best and favourite TOP 3 recipes which you mixed in 2017, with a link to allow others to try them out. These recipes must be one of those scenarios where if you were stranded on an island, which 3 DIY juices will you take...

This is going to be hard as I mixed just over 300 juices this year and to narrow it down to 3 is challenging to say the least...

I'll kick it off with my top 3:

Creme de Orange - I love this stuff and use the base for various adaptions. This demonstrates that simple 2 or 3 ingredient recipes can kick ass and wins my vote in my top 3. In addition, this stuff is ready to go after 3 days - winner winner!!!
KIWANA U WANA CUSTARD!!! A kiwi banana custard, masterfully crafted by Tootall. This recipe blends 2 opposing and contrasting flavours beautifully into an oral orgasm of epic proportions... Make it and see for yourself...
Strawnana Custard - an absolute classic. A simple combination, perfectly balanced to create one of the best recipes around. Many have tried to adapt, improve or alter this one and they have all failed dismally.

I spot a pattern...
 
Awesome thread @Rude Rudi! Challenging for sure.

My top three:
  1. Guitari by our own @Patrick, a awesome peach lemonade with real fizz. For HRH is has dethroned VM Berry Blaze as the one and only juice she vapes. Always in my rotation too.
  2. Rhubarb Brûlée. I just took @rogue zombie's tasty base and added a bit of INW Rhubarb. All credit to @rogue zombie. Something different with the sweet and the bitter, and I never tire of this juice.
  3. Perique Vapure, with some adjustments over time this has become my top tobacco juice. Dark and bold with just enough sweet added by the FA Caramel.
 
Oh wow! Only 3???

OK... Top 3 would be... in no particular order...
Banana Moon Pie - Just seriously delicious Banana
Jungle Cookies - A brilliant Zoo Biscuit by @moonunit
Boosted - A brilliant Strawberry Cheesecake by MrColdOne

But I also have to give honorary mention to:
Groolberry Creamcake
Nutterz - by @KZOR
Peanut butter Ice Cream - by MrColdOne
Raspberry Cheesecake - by MrColdOne
Tony's Revenge - by Steamroom

Ok wait... I am noticing MrColdOne in here quite often... never realised that to be honest... I'm gonna have to look at more of his recipes... we clearly have the same taste!

I absolutely agree! I'm gonna have to jump out of my comfort zone and try some of these weird and wonderful recipes that I could never have imagined myself vaping...

Then again... I never thought I would enjoy banana vapes either... I don't even like real bananas!
 
I go through most of the mixes listed in the tobacco thread but these stand out I would guess

Athos by @Viper_SA - A simple three part recipe. A gentle salted tobacco taste with a hint of sweetness with smoke and fire.
Perique Vapour - With @Andre special additions for some in your face tobacco
and lately Dark Latakia Vapour less the menthol - more in your face tobacco less the peppery Perique from the one above.

Just goes to show that it is the simple stuff that works.

Those are the tobaccos but I must post this here as well as it is the only non tobacco that I vape
Andre's Mate - Nice cool and refreshing mint chocolate

Not easy to choose only 3, but somehow I always have these ready (in no particular order):
Cinnaple Fritter, can"t get enough of this one, very accurate and entirely enjoyable. Good SNV, best after a week.
Full recipe and flavour notes: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/248629/Cinapple Fritter [DIYorDIE: returnity]
Ella's Shorthbread Biscuit, most versatile recipe I've ever tried. Great on it's own, but also as a base for various nuts, creams or fruits.
Unlimited possibilities. Good fresh, but gets better with time.
Full recipe and notes: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/550035/Ella's Shortbread Biscuit
Rhodonite, definitely not forgiving as the other 2. You have to be very accurate with measurements, or delicate balance of flavours gets easily broken.
Absolute heaven if you make it right. Good after a week, best after a month.
Full recipe, notes and video: https://diyordievaping.com/2015/08/17/rhodonite/

Full credit and many thanks to the respective creators: DoD returnity, Ella Robinson (Betamax) and DoD Enyawreklaw.

For me the three I would choose if I where stranded on an island:
Awsome strawberry my own mix:
3% tfa Bavarian cream
3% tfa cheesecake Graham crust
1% fa Vienna cream
1% fa marshmallow
2% tfa strawberry
2% inw shisha strawberry
2% tfm cc sweet strawberry
2% tfa vanilla custard
Tigers blood: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/45957
Think this one is my most mixed one for this year just love this stuff.
Pebble cream bronut:
https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/26478

On a side note think I would go mad if I only had to vape three juices.
 
I continued making my Simply Cannoli, Funfetti, Sugar Cookies and Cream staples. I tried a lot of new recipes but nothing really hit the spot for me. Imo it seemed a quiet year for recipes, although that perception is influenced by me hitting the Back button every time I see a Flv-laden new recipe on ATF. If you didn't have lots of Flv, there wasn't much to make in 2017.

I guess that Mango Sticky Rice, In A Godda Da Vida, Longing and Cardinal or Abuela will all feature in Wayne's list. I had First Rule on all of them so haven't made any of them.
 
My 3 favourites for 2017 - most DIY'ed (in no particular order as all three are awesome)

1. Aloha by @KZOR - https://www.ecigssa.co.za/kzors-juice-recipes-custardo.t30395/page-6#post-507597

Super cold , awesome tasting locally made recipe - This is one of my ADV's, I love it

2. Raspberry Custard by Coop34 - http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/287875/Raspberry Custard

I loved this recipe for about 5 months, it was literally my go to everyday , over vaped it and giving it some rest, but will always go back to this recipe

3. Clone of SICBOY's M.B.Y.C by Alisa - http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/142712/Clone of Sicboy M.B.Y.C. (adapted)

If you have ever tasted Tinroof Ice Cream by Woolies, this is like vaping that to me and a few of my friends, it tastes like heaven and has been a regular in my DIY arsenal

----

Looking forward to see the other DIY'ers favourites and to mix them up

I really dig the Funfetti but for me flavour notes only come through if a take a pause after inhale nd then exhale, it is so strange

I was lucky enough to get some of that Abuela. Lovely stuff.
 
Well I've only been doing DIY for 2 weeks so I don't have much to add :-D

From the 4 recipes I made, Cuprian is the best Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream I have ever tasted, I have bought a few local ones which I never finished.

Will definitely tackle a few on this thread in the coming week.
 
I truly believe that this is the best place to be and to get recipies so here goes with what has been keeping me going:

http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/136743/Seven Seas Clone - by Jdowns77 - Cool watermelon and strawberry, current daily rotation

http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1313632/Strawberry kiwi white grape - bi Iliaas - Cool kiwi taste, wanted something more in line with Trinity Ice, but added some WS23, enjoying this one, current daily rotation.

Steeping : The wait is killing me, all from this site,
Groot, Tropix and Cinnister by @KZOR
Banana Moon Pie and Guitari as per @Tanja (with a j, not a y, got it right this time)
Simply Cannoli by @RichJB
Tomorrow's mixing will also include Hertzoggies by @Rude Rudi,cannot wait.
Have been sneaking in and out and gained immense knowledge from all on this thread. Thanks for the recipe suggestions and the detailed discussions, that dug the hole for me! See you all at the bottom, if that exists, and looking forward to great mixing for all.
 
Well I've only been DIY'ing a short while so haven't really got that much experience, but my favorite 3 finds have been:

Creme De Orange
Simply Cannoli
My Dude

Same on this side, just starting but have to agree on the simply cannoli, done 25ml since last night. Will have to fit in a mixing session tonight as well to do some more and wish the days away while steeping, Creme de orange, waiting for vape mail as rule 1 applied. What is the my dude you referring to, if available where can I get the recipy?
