@Andre, i missed your return to DIY
Am so excited for you
And looking forward to hearing how this Peach iced tea turns out for you
Have you decided yet what device will be taking the honour of its first vape?
Cautiously - only using tried and tested (even tasted if possible) recipes. Have bought just the ingredients for the Peach Iced Tea for this round after having tasted @Ernest's. Next probably a Castle Long clone recipe, which I have to ask from another member and which I have tasted too. Shall try not to lose my head.
Reo Mini shall have the honour of course.
Ready for some serious DIY
Slow mixing at 30 degrees Celsius
Peach Iced Tea bottled!
Awwww I want that Kenwood
Not for making juice.
Made a batch this morning. Gave it a hot water bath before adding nic as I couldn't wait... tried it earlier and it's amazing already! I'll let it steep a few days and see if it gets any better.
It will get better, give it a week.
Thanks, please post the results
Thanks for this. I will be adding this to my flavors to buy next month. I need to try this, it sounds delicious. I am also trying to stick to tried and reviewed recipes but I do lose my head sometimes and go a bit nuts lol
I have made a Strawberry and Banana that's steeping in the cupboard right now. Initial taste test was very good. I made a Strawnana before but this one is better. The banana flavour is really strong much like a ripe banana. I did an even 5% Tangy strawberry and 5% banana in an 80/20. Being a KZN bloke you must know I LOVE banana.@Greyz any chance you had some time to play with those pirate groggs flavors?
I have a few bottles of just single flavour mixes that I'm not touching till they have had with weeks in the cupboard. I did not try to speed steep these at all. Thanks to @Stosta I have tons bottles!
Pirates grog concentrates most def going into my flavour buy list.
I actually sent them an email enquiry regarding their gold concentrates because I want to try them out too.
So many recipes too little time

So my 3rd month of concentrates yay.. Have about 30 in total now and it will just keep growing.
So this month I made some of that peach iced tea, must say its pretty good. Tomorrow will be a week of steeping and its very good. The lime is very overpowering for me, so I might leave that out next time and up the peach a bit as I am missing that hit of peach, also I will add a bit more koolada, will keep vaping it and see how it steeps before deciding.
Made some Bronuts from DiyOrDie and its simply awesome, a nice fresh chocolate doughnut taste, its certified shake and vape, and its really good right off the bat, but it tastes a little bit like the dough isn't cooked through right after mixing. After a few days though it just mellows out and tastes awesome.
I made a chocolate custard also
10% Double Chocolate Clear TFA
2% Capella Vanilla Custard V2
This needs at least 3 days of steeping to taste right. After about 4 to 5 days it tastes like Ultramel chocolate custard, its very very good, but strange thing though, after about 5 hits, the chocolate disappears. After much googling, I found out that some people have this with the chocolate, the solution is to add 1 or 2% of sucralose to the mix and bam problem should be sorted. I will be trying that out soon as I have some TFA Sweetener which is pretty much sucralose.
Plain Menthol
TFA Menthol
This is an odd concentrate. Initially I made a straight 6% of this in my test batch and it was amazingly menthol. A simple great menthol, add 1 drop of koolada per 10ml and you are good to go with a nice cool menthol, BUT the menthol is insanely strong and almost instantly started eating away at my syringe.
So I made a 10% PG dilution and use about 5 - 8% of it in plain mixes, and its just about perfect. I am really into menthol ATM and am loving the plain menthol taste. A 6% (10% dilution) menthol works great for me, and strangely enough, it doesn't taste diluted at all. Tasted almost the same as the 6% plain. I reckon the menthol has a 'menthol threshold' where it just doesn't get any better after a bit. A very nice strong menthol.
I am trying to find the perfect peanut butter recipe and will update here once I found anything that tastes decent. Currently I have a peanut butter and bavarian cream mix and its okay, but needs more work.
Monster Melons Clone (I forget the exact recipe, but it's here on the forum), simply amazing. One of my ADV's now. Already killed 100ml of this lol. Not much more to add here. Give it a try if you like simple 'breakfast fruit' flavors, just hits the spot for an ADV for me. A nice fruity vape, I'll probably add menthol to it lol..
A very good month so far this month.
I found sticking to recipes are a great way to get started, I had 2 bad(ish) months on DIY and learned that I know nothing about how flavors will blend. But I am learning fast and am learning to not be hasty and give it time.
All tests were done on
Tsunami RDA @ 0.3ohm dual SS16L coils
Magma Reborn Clone @ 0.5ohm single Clapton (24AWG SS16L wrapped with 28AWG Kantha)
Griffin @ 0.28 ohm dual SS16L coils.
Vaping at 40 - 45 watts.
I'll be mixing up some Golden Ticket Remix from DiyOrDie also tomorrow night, but substituting the CAP Vanilla Custard v1 with v2.
