What did you Mix today?

So today was experiment day....

Using diyordies lemon lime recipe

V1= straight copy
V2 = added some dragonfruit
V3 = inspiration from another recipe using mangosteen and a lick of sweetener

May the best one win :CHUKKLING:

Raspberry Ice Cream didn't take the optional sweetener addition (35/65)

And the one im looking quite forward to HIC vanilla lime cheesecake (35/65)... did double the percentages due to my very challenged taste buds

Also tried another ice cream using berry cereal

Still searching...looking for something with a good Grapefruit hit, like Emissary's Tempestus (which I think is super fantastic :-D)
I mixed up a cap pink lemonade, with clyro grapefruit, clyro litchi, and clyrocool. Was delicious!

Oh, I chose to add grapefruit cos the pink lemonade isnt too great on its own, only slightly better with litchi.

Ever since @Jengz let me try his elements pink lemonade, and I recognised a strong bitter citrus note, I was inspired to try pink leminade and grapefruit!

Was so good

My all time favourite juice that is still to be beaten IMO

I seem to have a bad run with clyro concentrates, mixed a basic citrus mix a couple months and it's still perfumey today:-(. Pink Lemonade is next on my to mix list though!
 
Tweaked the XTC recipe a bit to see if I can get it more to my liking. Will post if it turns out decently!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good as is, but that’s the fun of DIY, we can change it to our own tastes :)
 
A Sunday afternoon quicky:

SMK
CLY Watermelon @ 2.5%
CAP Supersweet @ 0.3%
Koolada @ 0.25%

SNV after 7 minutes in the Sonic Cleaner.

Not to shabby, room for improvement but that would be fixing what is not exactly broken and totally acceptable as is.

Regards
 
You are a vape teaser mate - still interested to know what tweaking

I wasn’t really getting good flavour out of the original even on different setup, coils, cotton, watts etc etc blah blah.

I’ve dropped quite a bit of flavour out cause I had the thought that perhaps there was too much in there.

Dropped the dragonfruit completely, reduces the berrymix from 4% down to 2% and the menthol got reduced from 2% to 1%. Litchi remained at 7%.

Thanks for sharing mate. If I change anything, I would maybe drop the menthol slightly - maybe just by 0.5%. The rest however suits my vaping.

That’s what I love about DIY, can tweak and change to suit our own unique style of vaping.
 
Had to get another mix in for today. I have been wanting for a while to do a mix with a guava profile - so along came LGBT. More than just guava, but the guava tone that comes through is of a slight green guava (defenitely more tart than sweet). Another winner for today.

Sounds like something I'd wanna have a go at. One question though... what exactly is TFA Smooth ?
I have an idea but I'd like confirmation? ;)

It is supposed to "smooth out" harsh notes in your mix. I have not tried to experiment with it - it just happened to be in this recipe that I mixed. I'm sure one of the more experienced mixers will be able to explain in more detail.

The best explanation is by Wayne here, in essence:

“The best way to use this tool is when you want a more "blended" flavor. So say you have a blueberry banana smoothie recipe where you can completely tell the differences between all the flavors, but you want those ingredients to taste more if they were one flavor. Adding MTS VW or TFA Smooth will help you out a bit. It's akin to throwing all your ingredients into a blender rather than layering them in.”

BUT, “These are definitely for more advanced mixers and honestly, you can do without them.“
 
Thanks @RenaldoRheeder ,@Rude Rudi

Asking because my diy tends to have a slight "rough edge" to it and was wondering if Smooth was the answer. Looks like I'll have to do some more research then

Any recommendations?

Rough edge for me has 2 solutions;

Mix proper, known recipes, using the listed ingredients. Recipes by know/renowned mixers are well balanced, formulated and tested.

Steep. Steeping is key in DIY no matter what bull you read on Google. Steeping juice will generally smooth out harsh edges as this is its purpose - to meld all the various flavours with the base ingredients. If you are not steeping to the reccomeded steep times, your juice may be harsh.

Also have a look at @RichJB DIY Primer

Nice on its own , nice with some WS23 in as well, but good on its own. I had the first part neat and busy with the second part cold.
