Calling all DIY'ers

Here are two recipes I've just tried that came out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!

Tahitian Apple Cider

Cherry Sorbet

think "yeast" - it's good for supporting bakeries at very low %s

FA is releasing a re-formulated version in a while.. Joy tastes a lot like beer to some people ;-)

So I found an interesting recipe online using FA Joy and tried to adapt it to the flavours I have and add my own touch - it tastes almost exactly like Flying Fish Green Apple! Definitely a strange and different vape but I think it's growing on me...

looks interesting! Liquid Amber might be a good alternative with those other flavours, worth a shot anyway ;-)

Both of your Fuji Apple recipes look great! Will try them (will have to do a few subs) as soon as I get my Fuji Apple and Joy

I love Fuji Apple, best apple flavour I've tried and I've tried a few!

Go easy on that Joy, I used it at 0.5% and it is really strong, try it 0.3% maybe.

It really is fascinating how much Joy tastes like beer, actually made me feel for a real beer.

I quite like the effect but definitely needs toning down as it overpowers the cinnamons.

mmmmm beer :p

And yeah, I guess unless you're using it for the beer flavour, or as a support to a bakery, lower % is better - I like it around 0.25%
 
So I want to order some stuff from ValleyV and start trying my hand at d.i.y. read quite a bit and listened to what and how other people do etc. So I want to do aome fruity/menthol flavours. The Q is what should i start with. Obviously base pg,vg,nic. Was thinking jackfruit, dragon fruit, menthol, koolade, strawberry, vanilla swirl, smoother, sweetner, watermelon, kiwi, blueberry, raspberry, baverian cream, sours. Something in that line. But I want to thin out my selection for the start.
What do you guys suggest??
 
For fruity menthols, I'd say drop the creams/swirls. Personally I'd also leave the smooth, sweetener and sours until you get the hang of the flavors.. No need to try and add too much stuff on the first go. For Strawberry I'd suggest TFA Ripe Strawberry and for Raspberry, FA Raspberry.

I bought my first supply last week and had to get more things 2 days later. My advice would be to check the recipe's of the flavours you want to try first and then work backwards from there with your order. I went and ordered things I thought I wanted which is all good but then needed to get more things because the recipes I wanted to try needed other ingredients.
 
Hi @Ezekiel, was wondering have you tried TFA Banana Cream? Reason being that I want to try your smoothie base but it makes use of LA Banana Cream - so do you think it can be subbed for TFA Banana Cream? I've run out of Milk Dairy and have to make a run for some more - so at the same time I was gonna get some other ingredients but here in PTA I can only get TFA banana Cream.

ENYAREKLAW explains the difference between the two.
 
hehe same, freaking hate banana's :) - thanks for the reference man *sharp*. Placed my order gonna drive to sky now. Chat later.
 
Also LA banana cream has a high alcohol content - if that is of concern to you - whereas TFA doesn't contain any.
 
As all of the above! TBH the recipe will survive without it even, or you can replace it with 3 % TFA dragonfruit which also turned out ok.

Hey Guys,

Here is a simple marshmallow cookie recipe - it's decent. I'm not sure if it is a cookies and cream or a cookies and marshmallow - it all depends on the heat at which you vape it. Lower heat its more creamy, higher heat it is more marshmallowy - can't really tell.

FA: Cookie 3%
CAP: VBIC 3%
FA: Caramel 1%
TFA: Toasted Marshmallow 1%
CAP: Vanilla Custard V1 2%
TFA: Sweet Cream 3%
FW: Hazelnut 0.5%
TFA: Strawberry 0.3%
 
I'm quite enjoying this lately:

555 Cream

TFA 555 Tobacco 8%
TFA VBIC 2%
 
I haven't posted in awhile, because I have been making a load of sh.... as well as testing my flavourants in single flavour form.

I did however make this, and quite happy with it:

Mojito

TFA Mojito 4%
CAP Cool Mint 0.25%
INW Cactus 0.5%
Lime 0.35%
TFA Pomegranate Deluxe 3.5%


Breaking it down:

TFA Mojito 4% - perfect at 5% on its own. I wanted to compliment it with a bit more.

Mint and Lime added for complexity of each component, and spike these flavours already in the Mojito. You using a very small amount of Lime and Mint here, so I am sure you can sub it for whichever you have.

Pomegranate - Its not clearly noticeable that it is there, but I have had without, and its a more standard Mojito. I prefer it with the Pomegranate in.

I have already tried this with Raspberry instead of Pomegranate which was good to, but I wont do it again. But I think the Pomegranate can be replaced with many different fruits. The rest is a great Mojito base.

I will probably try this next with Pineapple and loose the Pomegranate.

Sounds refreshing.
 
U say u can vape the mojito by itself at 5% per 10ml? Does it give any throat hit or is that why u and menthol?

Well its 5% total flavour - so now matter how much mils you make, stick to 5% Mojito flavouring.

At 5% it does give a bit of throat hit. Which is why I lowered to 4% - I'm not looking for throat-hit. The small amount of additional mint I added doesn't really add much throat-hit. A little, but not much.

I also mix at 70VG/30PG to make it smooth with less throat-hit. If you are looking for throat hit, perhaps lower to 60VG/40PG and up the Mint percentage.

Man, this looks good! I have zero of the concentrates... but I've been looking for something in this line, so will probably add some with the next order.
