So I've made 4 of them so far - the Orange Cream, Tobacco, Fried Ice Cream, and Strawberry Milk.
The Orange Cream came out as "ok, I see the direction" but the rest have been crap (with the Tobacco, it was hard to tell because of steeping.)
BUT I just whipped up the Strawberry Milk and it tastes like puke, and the Fried Ice Cream tastes like re-puke.
I'm measuring using weight, and I have my VG set at 1.2, PG at 1, and flavorings at 1. The ratios are really there regardless. I'm very precise when measuring.
Do they simply need to steep? Have you got good results from any of these? I haven't in terms of shake'n'vapes at all.
I was just at the Vape Shop trying out some E-Liquids, and I tried a delicious line called TearDrip. There was a Caramel Pear flavor, and to my tongue, it tasted as though it was packed with either a burnt-sugar caramel or RY4, with a simple, candy pear. There was really only two distinct flavors, but those flavors were crystal clear with a tremendously sweet moisture to the liquid, which I assume may be sucralose. It had that moist flavor of candy, like a wet lollipop, and lollipops aren't too complex, just sweet and clear-cut.
I'm starting to think that so much of DIY is based on flavors that must do well with Protanks because on drippers, any recipe I whip up has a neutral dryness (like, imagine Vape Wild) and no matter how complex the recipe, it's either puke or just so muddled that it tastes like crap anyway. It could be simply the steeping process, I'm going to let these two batches above sit for 3-4 days as recommended, but I don't see them changing *that* much.
The "style" of dripper e-liquids has come so far, and in so many juices I sample, I sense such a sweetness, a moisture, and a clear-cut "style" - not so much of complexity, but rather "strength" in what is there, the authenticity of candy or food rather than what old-school vapes try for, and again, a sweetness that I associate with ice-cream topping syrup (again, I assume sucralose) rather than powdered sugar (which is at best sort of what other sweeteners have done for my batches.) There's a certain result that I'm just not getting with any of my DIY and I just don't know what it is.
I just know that the LOWEST standard you should expect with DIY is Vape Wild standard, and I am not even getting that. And that's low IMO. Some of these should really be decent straight out the bottle. I haven't found one yet. I even tried my hand at the Cuttwood clone, and got close, but without a certain ingredient (butter cream) things weren't as tied as they should be and the flavor went akward. Idk what gives. But that one has been the closest to anything vapeable for me.
