Yes @Andre , that is the one.
Mmm that looper close looks good. I should really start mixing some of the interwebs recipes again. I only do my own nowadays

10ml "getting to know you" samples of my CLY fruit flavors. Most of them at 3.5% Flavor, 70/30 VG/PG and 3mg Nic. Really promising off the bat.

Been vaping Amkara since yesterday, @GregF. I like it. Brings out the best of the the 2 concentrates for me.What did you think of this.
I found the problem I had the other day. Was supposed to drop a few drops of Kentucky Blend and ended up squirting instead of dripping (settle down there @blujeenz). I figured it was about right....it wasnt.....
I took the long road with AM4A and settled on this recipe in the end:
AM4A++
INW AM4A 1.0 %
FA Perique Black 1.0 %
FA Latakia 1.0 %
FA Dark Vapure 1.0 %
INW Dirty Neutral Base 0.5 %
FA Bitter Wizard 0.5 %
FA MTS Vape Wizard 0.5 %
FA Custard 0.25 %
About a week ago I had my final crack at a litchie/mint combo... I opened it up last night and was not disappointed, it isnt the all day vape I was hoping for but I reckon it turned out quite well. The Lychee still seems under powered but everyone who has tried seems quite keen on more. The peppermint sits nicely in the background and doesnt freeze the back of my throat.
My next attempt will be with blackcurrant instead of harvest berry though (I reckon the change will make it a slightly more interesting flavor while removing the dumbed down sweetness of it and allowing for a 70/30 base).
it looks like this...
50/50 Ratio
1% Peppermint [CAP]
4% Harvest Berry [CAP]
10% Sweet Lychee [CAP]
3mg Nic
Thumbsucked a 7 day steep
#Edit: Litchie wasnt FA, its CAP

I will try that thanks. The only thing I will change for myself is leave out the MTS. Have stopped using it lately. Dont know if it was placebo effect or what but I found it was muting the flavour a bit.
The added custard will be new for me as well. Dont think I have added custard to a tobacco mix for a while.
Not bad at all - with all the orange type recipes around, this one is one of the better ones!
Mmmm... FA does not make a Sweet Lychee... Only Cap has a sweet Lychee as far as I know?
Thanks for pointing that out, I have Lychee [FA] and Sweet Lychee [CAP] - I wrote the ingredients without sources on the bottle, so I went off the top of my head (Definitely Sweet Lychee though, so must be CAP). I updated the original post.
Cool - got it.
I think that the Harvest berry "interferes" with the delicate notes of the lychee and would, personally, omit it.
I love minted/chilled Lychee and do FA Lychee at 4 with 1.5 Polar Blast - simple yet yum!
I am inclined to agree, I pushed the lychee to 10% in an effort to enhance its presence with only moderate success. Overall this one turned out alright... but not great (too sweet, the XXX flavor I am trying to replicate said something about berry - so I added it). I am however going to test out your suggestion... do you think peppermint could be used in place of polar blast? I just looked it up and it seems like it has the effect I am after without the menthol (hence peppermint) - I haven't seen Polar Blast available locally though, only alternative I could find involved licorice and/or eucalyptus which are both far beyond what I am willing to tinker with at this point in my DIY'ing.

I dont think Pepermint will deliver the same effect as Polar blast - the problem is that it will impart the peppermint taste, instead of the coolness.
Polar Blast is readily availble, have a look here.

The other option is Koolada, but it has a tenancy to fade... Perhaps make some small samples (10ml) using various "cooling" ingredients - you can then decide which one you prefer, ie Koolada, Polar Blast, Peppermint, Extreme Ice, Menthol, etc, etc.
PS - many have tried to replicate XXX and they have all failed miserably...(including myself)
Good luck & let us know.
Thanks, that's definitely worth keeping in mind. By local I was going more for "run out and get it" as opposed to buy+shipping though - I have however noted it as a must have in my next online order - thanks for pointing it out to me (I honestly had no clue there was such a thing).
Ah... but I have the benefit of never actually tasting the real thing - It was just pointed out to me as something similar to what I was trying to concoct (enter the berry), that being said, when I eventually put together the "that tastes pretty damn good for a Lychee Cooler" creation, I will not be proclaiming it a clone, but rather a nice new recipe to try out.
SIDENOTE: I apologize, I really shouldn't say "replicate" when I haven't tried it... I will endeavor to word that better in future. Its more the description of XXX and the impressions people have had of it that I am trying to replicate... "Trying to replicate the perception and essence of XXX" may be the better explanation.

Ooh, that Guava Lime one caught my attention
Please let us know how that goes @zandernwn when you get a chance
I've been a bit absent form the forum over the last week or two...but mixing never stops!!!
I whipped these babies up over the last week or so with a few superstars among them!
Dunkaroos - This is my favourite out of the lot - a stunning cookies and cream - better than Sugar cookies and Cream IMO!
Butter Almond Custard - I made 2 batches, one with and one without the optional yellow cake. Orgasmic...
Simply Cannoli - Restock on this absolute classic! 100mls steeping...
Melon milk - Simple and delicious - as the name says...
Pillow Talk - Finally got the Vanilla Bean Gelato to try this
God Milk - Restock on this (now) cult classic - 100mls blisfully steeping - i'm going for an 8 week steep...
Straws v4 - McDonald's strawberry milkshake vibe - SNV
Antares - Churro and Praline chunk ice cream
Awesome Apple Pie by Botboy141 - A top notch apple pie!
Elevenses - Honey snap (ginger) biscuits
Holy Vanilla whipped cream - An awesome base and a solid change up if you want to give your taste-buds a break
Banana Moon Pie - Fabulous banana cream and marshmallow "biscuit"

I have some TFA malted milk, CAP sugar cookie v1 and sweet creams that I want to play with today...
I love your posts @Rude Rudi ,I basically get all my recipes from your posts
I agree, that sounds really interesting... so does the melon one actually - I have 31 concentrates (designer vapes) of varying fruity goodness. Posts like this take the edge off the overwhelming "what to mix first" factor. Please keep us posted @zandernwn
I have mixed all of them before and they are all very highly rated recipes. The melons on I tend to scale down to 3.5 each. Too strong otherwise. But give them all a go they are very good

Thanks man, I try and mix it up as I hate to Vape/mix the same old same old.
I rotate 4-5 juices a day and will only ADV a single juice if I really, really, really like it. For me it is part of the enjoyment of vaping, and dripping - I can switch flavours in an instant and don't have to have rice crispies for breakfast every day for the rest of my life....
Enjoy em!

@Rude Rudi the Straw V4 made 10ml last week hopefully it turns out nice. I have high hopes for the Butter Almond
Anybody made Bust a Nut i made one still must go another 20 days
I've made Bust a Nut a couple of times - it's very good indeed. It is very nutty and took me a while to get used to. Just make sure that you do not sub or leave anything out as the recipe will turn out horrendously as I found out by subbing the FW Hazelnut with TFA...
This does not work with any other hazelnut....period.
Straw V4 is decent - letting mine rest a bit more - was still a bit 'rough' after one week.
