Some state they can taste a touch of chocolate in this recipe. I as well as my partners do not taste any. So I wouldn't add any in but if you think there is some chocolate then I added an optional ingredient that will give you that slight chocolate taste. This is not part of my recipe though, so mix at your own discretion.

(Optional) TFA Double Chocolate Clear - 3%
 
Just made my version of nonuts, changed some flavours. Shake and vape its actually tasting very very nice. Will update in a couple of days after some steeping
 
The My Man clone is delicious, spot on neopolitan icecream. Haven't tasted the original though. The wife practically drank the bottle.

On the Nonuts, wife tested it and first thing she asked was how much cinnamon I put in. Crazy how tastes differ

I've used it at between 3% and 6%

In general the flavour doesn't really shine for me. It seems quite muted. It might be the combination of other flavours I use or my setup etc. I'll give it a single flavour mix and see at what percentage it becomes more prominent.

Are you vaping it as a single flavour or a mix?

No in a mix, a raspberry ice tea. I have not tried it with creams yet, but want to do a raspberry milkshake, maybe over the weekend.
 
Anyone have any experience with INW sisha range? I know the sisha range has been around a long time but never tried it. How is it different.

This newcomer is enjoying the DIY scene immensely. Puttering around with clone and others' recipes (even tweaking a bit in round 2), reading and learning a lot. Really satisfying.

Made @Papa_Lazarou's Ginger Black Tea (recipe below) on 5 May 2016. Shaken daily. Into the Reo Mini for a first taste this afternoon (17/5).

A glorious juice imo. Sweetish, but nicely counterbalanced by the Lemon. The Black Tea is the canvas and the Gingerbread the painting. Do not let the "Ginger" in "Gingerbread" mislead you - it has a whole array of spices in there, with no one spice dominant - certainly not the Ginger. And the spices hits you well on the exhale, with a good tingle in the mouth and tip of the tongue on the aftertaste. Perfectly reigned in by the "Bread" part of the "Gingerbread". It has a lovely full mouth feel.

With my rudimentary DIY skills I do not think I can improve on this one. For my own personal taste maybe a bit less sweet (how?), but probably perfect for most other vapers.

Certainly going from my 10 ml tester to a vapeable volume shortly.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe @Papa_Lazarou, much appreciated.

Is FA Honey supposed to smell like a craft beer brewery (granted better than TFA catpiss)? Sure hope it tastes like honey, although a beer juice could be interesting.
 
I must say I am already hooked to DIY. Got my goods from blckvapour yesterday and already have 5 different recipes in my cupboard steeping.

I mixed up one of DIYorDie's shake and vape recipes (Wild Berry / Candy) but had to modify it somewhat as I could not get all the brands he used, have been vaping it the whole day and it is very tasty!!

This has already got me thinking of new recipes like a good old south african desert (peppermint crisp tart)...
 
I also realised how subjective taste is. Had everyone taste my 'own' mix at work and everyone identified a different flavour as the main profile and my wife also taste something different to myself, but regardless all concur that it is tasty...

Inawera shisha is designed to resemble the taste from a hookah flavour, to have those floral notes lingering behind. Personally I find them to be stronger than the standard Inawera flavours, so I use less in my mixes.

I missed this recipe somehow.

This is what I love about DIY - being able to make unusual.
I've had this chat with local retailer (juice makers), they can't really make too unusual because it won't sell volumes.

Yet a Ginger Lemon Tea sounds awesome to me.

@Richio Thanks. I know it's supposed to emulate the hookah taste but never having tried a hookah I'm a bit lost as to what that actually means. You say floral notes.

I suppose the only way I'll understand is if I try it.
 
Just mixed up my first batch of DIY from a recipe I got from the Internet, a take on the "Mother's Milk", 20ml, so tempted to try it out already, need to resist, need to steep......

I forgot about this mix..... :p, damn, wish I mixed more than 20ml's of this, definitely going to mix up some more!
 
Did some 200ml in various mixes today. In the old days that would last me a month. These days maybe week and a half. :(

Found 50ml of DK, the TFA variety, still standing in a corner. Wanna add something to it to make it more palatable, DK is not bad as a base for something, interesting flavour but not interesting enough on its own. Any suggestions what I can chuck in there? Not caramel, I have 2 caramels and I aint got the hots for either.
 
So I mixed up 100ml today and after a shake and hotwater bath this stuff is GOOOOOOOOOOD. Damn good. Would definitely recommend trying it

Good to hear,
But do you know if the recipe calls for the old TFA Honeydew or the new one? Which did you use?
Because I believe they're different
 
I never look for recipes really, mostly coz I like to do things the hard way - there's some serious psychological implications there - but for DK I dooded dat just now, and hey voila, a recipe.

Caramel Candy (TPA) 3%
Dairy Milk (TPA) 2%
dk tobacco TFA 4%
Double Chocolate (Dark) (TPA) 2%
Fruit Circles (TPA) 2%
Peanut Butter (TPA) 1%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA) 2%

That sounds seriously fdup.

After vaping the juice today I'm noticing it has quite a throat hit, something in it is a bit harsh I'm thinking it might be the Cantaloupe ?
It also dries out my mouth more than usual. Maybe a steep will help it

I hated FA honey at first but it's growing on me (especially in tobacco recipes). Fierce strong through. Start at 0,5% and adjust to your taste. It fades appreciably after the first week steeping. I'm using 1% in tobacco mixes and aging for a month.

Agreed, I got the same message.

What I also love is being able to tweak a recipe to my personal taste. I love far less sweet than most of the juices on the market. For example, I took @Papa_Lazarou's Blackberry recipe here, left out the honey and followed @Christos's advice here, by adding 1 % Sour and 1 % Marshmallow. Perfect!

Nice to read!
I've been playing with milky and cakey stuff recently.
Think I need to go back to my fruit mixes as I haven't had a fruity vape for quite some time.

Hmm, I haven't really won with Blackberry, but I may give that I go.
