Calling all DIY'ers

Yesterday Rob commented on wanting Halo ejuice, and I remember the awesomeness that was Twisted Java - a Peppermint Coffee

Found this now:

HIC's TWISTED JAVA CLONE: Hard to believe it's as simple as this, but it truly is.

10% Flavor West Candy Cane
2% Flavor Apprentice Caramel Cappuccino (WARNING: high in diketones!)
0.5% FlavourArt Hazelnut, totally optional

I'm surprised, and quite thrilled with how this turned out.

For once, I will not be tweaking an original recipe.

A mild tobacco with a kiss from the baker (she's a pretty baker to)

Van Gogh

FA Virginia 2%
FA Perique Black 0.35%
FA Oak 0.25%
Acetyl Pyraza....0.25%
FA Clove 0.25%
TFA Graham Cracker 1%
(This is my default mild/light Virginia tobacco base)

Then add:

TFA Vanilla Swirl 2%
INW Biscuit 0.75%

I have been working on the Tobacco base for quite some time. I was semi happy with it, but it was always not nicely rounded off.

I then thought of making Vanilla tobacco, so added the Swirl. The result was not a Vanilla bac, but it rounded my base off nicely. So I happily vaped 60mls just like that.

Only thing was, it gave me a little more throat hit than I like, so I decided to add the INW Biscuit, knowing its buttery goodness would probably do the trick.

Steeped it, vaped it and was completely happy FOR ONCE with my creation.

The sun shines on every dogs' ass someday.

Done, without the Biscuit (like my TH). Curing. Thank you.

Awesome, hope you like it

2 weeks is all it needs

@Andre , I tried that recipe with Ginger, and love it!

So if you do like that base, when INW Ginger comes in, I'd give it a bash

Just made this and everyone here at home says it tastes like cherry halls. Was asked to post the recipe in another thread so here goes.

Note it has not been cured but I had no menthols left so I did nuke it 5 times for about 4 seconds on high and shook between each nuking until it was cold again. Shaking done by attaching to jigsaw blade attachment.

12% Raspberry from Vape O Wave
1.5% Menthol (I use 5% in my portion)
2% Marshmallow TFA
1% EM

My menthol is DIY from crystals bought from the chemist, mixed with PG as per instructions found on this forum, mixed about 5 months ago so don't remember %ages. Start lower and add to get to your taste / tolerance. I like my menthols to burn, the rest of the family not so much.

No idea what it will taste like after curing for a while but everyone here has colds and menthols the only thing we can taste. I have only made Unicorn Poop (who makes up these names?) with the VOW Raspberry and after 2 weeks it was awesome. Been a month and a bit now now and it is even better.

I have tried a couple of menthol mixes from friends and it seems to be pretty much the same as mine but I mixed up a 100ml batch of Menthol concentrate so not had the need to buy any TFA or CAP. No experience there yet.

Hey DIYers

Any recommendation on a good raspberry to use? I have sweet raspberry TFA but it's just not working with the recipes I'm trying. I want to try a different one but would like to hear your opinion before getting some.

Thanks

 

[YeOldeOke]

I tried a Pina Colada mix and I call it Islands. (30ml)
8% Pina Colada (tfa) (84 drops)
7% Caramel Original (tfa) (74 drops)
0.5% Vanillin (tfa) (6 drops)
70/30 split 3 nic
I find that after a week of steeping the flavour comes through beautifully. The only thing is (and I can't explain this) that while i was testing the juice every 2 days, I get head hits, if thats what i can call it, developing into a headache. Should i replace the vanillin to sweet cream concentrate or decrease %?

That's mighty small drops. Most droppers produce around the 20 drops/ml mark. Only the INW I used way back when was smaller. Sure you have the drops/ml right? Else you may be mixing 30+% concentrate in there.

I have Inawera Raspberry, but am too much of a noob at DIY to give you an informed opinion. The review below (from ECF) sounds spot on for me:

Flavoring aroma in bottle - Strong fresh real red raspberry fruit scent

E-liquid aroma in bottle - light red raspberry, surprisingly light aroma for the full taste it delivers (This aroma note taken after 4-5 week steep, I do think initially it's aroma was more noticeable)

This one packs a decent TH, even after many weeks of steeping! The flavor reminds me of raspberry slushies, it's not overly sweet or candied drink like in that respect, but just tasting this flavor reminds me of a slushie in general. I always loved the blue raspberry slushies! To me this is a true to fruit flavor, not candy type and it isn't overly sweetened either. It's flavor is deep, yet can be soft and subtle at the same time somehow.

I'm sure this will mix great with many fruits, creams, and chocolates, and may even also create a pretty decent raspberry tobacco if you matched it with just the right tobacco.

I recommend 8-10 drops per 10ml as a decent starting point to see where you need to go next in your recipe.

Overall Rating - 8.5/10

I love INW Raspberry to.

A recent Raz Custard I made, which the 'Raspberry portion' turned out great used:

INW Raspberry 1%
TFA Raspberry Sweet 2%

 

[NnoS]

Thanks guys.

I'll give INW raspberry a go.

I'm going for Raspberry Eton Mess and looking for a more authentic raspberry flavour.

Here is a recipe for it I found on the Internet. I would add a bit a lime.

Cream Fresh (FA) 1%
Marshmallow (TPA) 2%
Meringue (FA) 2%
Raspberry (INAWERA) 1%
Vienna Cream (FA) 1%
Whipped Cream (TPA) 2%

Awesome! Thanks.

I was looking for a nice cream base. I only need a couple of ingredients to complete this recipe and will definitely be experimenting with this one.

BTW @Andre have you tried this Monster Melons clone?
I'm pretty sure you'll like it. The Mango and Cantaloupe just compliment the Papaya. Not overly sweet.

TFA Papaya 3%
TFA Mango 5%
TFA Cantaloupe 3%

I'm vaping some now - always puts a smile on my face. Good fruit joose.

No, I have not. I have the real thing and was not really my taste as far as I can remember. Maybe I should try it again.

Ye I wouldn't try it without having the exact ingredients. I decided to try out DIYORDIE's HoneyDew Bubble Tea recipe instead. I enjoy the original Dewwy Boba juice

 

[rogue zombie]

Oh really.
Well if the real thing is super-strong 0r sweet (as commercial juices often are), and thats the issue, keep in mind this version is more subdued.

Is that good? I've been curious about it.

Concentrates are arriving tomorrow. Will post my thoughts once its had a day or 2 steep.

Regarding the Mikes Monster Melons mix, do you think its something Koolada would work with ? I've been wanted to make a fruity koolada juice for a while now

Yes definitely.

I make a bottle without any 'cooling', and whats really nice, is it with a tiny bit on Menthol and 0.5% Koolada. Its just about all I vaped in the hot P.E December holidays last year.

Ok, shall give it a shot. Only have FW Papaya though.

Agg, I see TFA Papaya no more.

I haven't tried the FW one. The TFA was very accurate.
