Calling all DIY'ers

@Andre - I've been wanting to make a clone of Five Pawns Symmetry and on ELR a guy called Beaufort Batches gave me his version. I'm ordering the rhubarb specifically for this. Herewith (and it's a monster):

Symmetry clone

0.5% Brown Sugar (TPA)
0.5% Butterscotch (FA)
1% Catalan Cream (FA)
0.5% Coconut (FA)

0.5% Crunchy Berry Cereal - TFA

1% Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) (FA)
1.5% Red Touch (Strawberry) (FA)

Wow, thank you for sharing @Patrick. That is a monster. Missing some of those flavours, but some good ideas there.
 
Just made up a new variation of Mustard Milk. Viper-and-shake-and-vape certified!

4% FA Strawberry
6% TFA Ripe Strawberry
6% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

30/70 PG/VG at 3mg.

Thank goodness I made 100ml from the get-go. Love it
 
Thanks, I thought as much. Will just up the ratio as much as I can. Currently at 70/30 (VG/PG) and see if that makes any difference.

Hi @Dane , if you are sensitive to PG, why not try and only VG and the PG based flavors? That way your PG is very very little.

Should you steep this at all bud? I tend to mix 80/20 or max VG (basically only PG is coming from the flavours and nic)
I have done a few variations on the Mustard Milk and one I have steeping is almost identical to yours except I got VBIC at 7% and SR at 5%. It's been steeping for almost 2 weeks now and I'm so tempted to vape it.
I decided to let them steep 2 weeks as the first MM I did at the recommended 6% Strawb and 8 VBIC was good as a shake and vape but I'm vaping on some now that's I made nearly a month ago and it's better than ever.
Mustard Milk has now gone into my monthly juice rotation, I make at least 100-150ml of the stuff. It's so simple and tastes great.
 
A steep never hurt a juice IMO, but I will undoubtedly have enough left to taste after a week or two. :D

Yeah, mixed some up at 90VG this evening with 1.5mg nic will see how it goes tomorrow. Mixed this:

Fw boysenberry 1.5%
Inw shisha strawberry 2.5%
Tfa marshmallow 1%
Tfa sweetener 0.5%
And then 5 drop Inw fresh mint per 10ml

Must say it tastes great for a simple mix.

Please keep us in the loop on how steeping affected the juice. I have still got a little strawberry that I can mix with Strawb Ripe I think I'll try your version out. I prefer MM with a mix of the 2 strawb more so than just either one straight.
I get a bit of a harsh TH from the VBIC (my juices are 2.5mg nic). Lowering the VBIC to 6-7% helped, also a 2 week steep seems to also have helped. I'm planning on using FW VBIC in future juices.
 
So being a new DIY'er it is impossible to let anything steep. Decided to give the deep fried icecream balls a try, and my goodness is it tasty! A touch harsh on the throat but damn after 2 weeks it is going to be delish with some time for the VBIC, VC and butter cream to develop. Only potential improvement I can think of at this stage is maybe a little EM or smooth to round it off.

Will report back after it has had a proper steep though.

Yeah that steep is crucial, a lot of my initially tasty recipes have gone into the "can only be vaped fresh" pile after steeping turned them into mush :p

I'll try your recipe soon, looks good ;-)

Do you think the TH is from the VBIC? I get TH in anything I add TFA VBIC to. 2 week steep seems to cut the TH out.

EDIT: I hear ya on the failure to steep part. I found the best thing to do is go out and buy some DDD and Smackeroon. 60ml should see me through the week and give my juices a rest to steep.

@Viper_SA, I don't have FA Strawberry, can I substitute with TFA Strawberry?
 
Any suggestions for TFA Belgian waffle, seems like it has such potential, has very a good depth of flavour for a single concentrate but just can't seem to make it work?

Also remember to mix at 50/50 for the full 5pawns experience :p
 
@moonunit
I've had some decent mixes with Belgian waffle particularly because it has such awesomeness in a single flavour
Belgian waffle -TFA - 8%
Vanilla swirl -TFA - 4%
Cinnamon Danish - TFA - 4%
Caramel Original - TFA - 1%
Or
Belgian waffle -TFA - 8%
Strawberry - TFA - 4%
 
@Richio thanks for the feedback, I find it too over powering, even at 5%.

Think if I drop it to 2%-3% it might give the other flavours a chance.

I personally don't like TFA Strawberry at all, but many do, so I suppose it's worth a shot. FA strawberry is like a nice ripe strawberry to me, before it goes all soft and sweet. Almost with a bit of 'zing' to it. The TFA ripe strawberry is like a soft, almost over-ripe strawberry that is very smooth and sweet. The two just mix well for me.
 
Hi guys, i'm quite new to the forum. Recently purchased an ijust2 device and have quickly realized that making my own juice is going to be the way to go. Just a quick question, what is the easiest way to get my hands on flavour concentrate? I stay in Cape Town. Do i Have to order it online or are there shops where I can just walk in and buy it. Also, where can I get my hands on PG and VG? Please let me know! Would be much appreciated. Thanks!

www.valleyvapour.co.za (online) is in the Cape Town area and their courier charge for CT and surrounds is but R35.00. They stock PG and VG as well.

Hey bud, so firstly welcome to the forum. Easiest way to go is probably valley vapour as they are in C.T. They are a online site but have the biggest variety of flavours. They also have PG and VG so it's a one stop shop for everything. My suggestion is figure out what profiles you like to vape. Desserts, Fruits, Etc then find recipes online here on the forum or on eliquid calculator. once you figure out what recipe's you would like to make then order concentrates. Also check out mixing with a scale if you have funds to get a scale as it makes life a lot easier.
 
Thanks so much guys! Which sort of scale should I look to purchase and how much would it be? Also, is it really as simple as just ordering the ingredients and getting the ratios right? Is there anything more to it? I'm aware of steeping, and also I won't be using any nicotine base so there is very little danger involved I would presume? But yeah, any tips or tricks I should know about? Let me know! Thanks
