ADHD? I have advanced CRS syndrome. It's not very helpful with diy. Which flavor did I just add? Did I add it or not? Where was I at? How many wraps was that now??I was gonna say "how did you accomplish that in 3 months" but I forgot because ADHD. Cheers
Well last night I mixed
Classic vanilla 5%
Vienna cream 3%
Fresh cream 2%
Trying to get a pudding. Flavor is right there! It was missing some sweetness and a bit of depth so I added .5% of supper sweet and .5% of meringue. It still lacks a bit on depth so I'm going to let it steep a few days and try it again. I may end up adding just a touch of custard to richen it up if it still needs it after steeping.

You and me both. I have this one food recipe that calls for 6 Tbls of milk. I can't imagine I've tasted the recipe as it was meant.ADHD? I have advanced CRS syndrome. It's not very helpful with diy. Which flavor did I just add? Did I add it or not? Where was I at? How many wraps was that now??

You know I use my scale. However, I could easily find the density. Excellent Huck!!!Use a syringe for measuring
Welp, Your main flavor isn't FA after all TFA Simply Vanilla has a warning on it for the bad stuff if you didn't know. I've read it's good but weak Another non FA option might be Bavarian Cream. I'm having some now stand alone.
Great! A bit strong at 5% for me but you are on your way. Keep us updated.

Mmm, maybe some vanilla custard.....you know I'm gonna try this! It stands to be a very versatile recipe, you could add any fruit or even chocolate and get a totally different vape. I like recipes like this, it's like having that one scarf that can change up any outfit.

Are you new here? You seem very nice....welcome to the forum!ADHD? I have advanced CRS syndrome. It's not very helpful with diy. Which flavor did I just add? Did I add it or not? Where was I at? How many wraps was that now??
That is a good enough reason to pull the trigger now instead of waiting for bergamot to be back in stock
Others are out too but w/e it's pretty easy to find $20 worth of goodies, restocking cream, and I'm trying the cherry pie and MJ4.

Hey, I've got one just to use the Smok Tek RBC's I'm in love with. Lol! Gives my nano a rest....
You can try some coconut & marzipan @ about .75% each, got idea from crampmolothew's white cake. I subbed out the caps custard with 2% fa Vienna & 1% fa vanilla classic and got a light cake...i used. Rest of his recipe as was written.
In case of zombie attack, Nic at $40/liter 100mg/ml. http://vapingunderground.com/thread...mg-nic-base-for-diy-juice-makers-40-00.70254/
You need one of these if you're fashion conscious with ego threading (the long ones are for cartos, I had the "wide" version and it looked great... no ego batts for a pic atm) edit: here's my rig with an ego adapter and the wide sleeve so you can kinda see.

Oh, I couldn't care less about fashion, I just love those little atties! To be so cheap they give a nice warm vape and a ton of flavor. I usually keep a few and an eGo for testing my juice when I'm mixing. But my nano is king! Lol!

You are truly one of us, aren't you......LOL!!
Does anyone happen to know CAP Hazelnut v2? I'm trying to replace it with FA hazel in a simple mix I've been coming back to for a few months:
The original post: (link to ecf, or below)
- 7% CAP Hazel v2
- 3.5% FA Cuban
- 0.75% EM
- (original is 8% and 4%, steep 3-7 days min)
- (not perfect but very exciting, enough to ADV variations in pursuit of progress - I was previously not a cuban fan)
- 3.5% FA Cuban
- 1% FA Hazel
- 0.75% EM
- 0.5% FA Caramel
- 0.5% FA Vanilla Tahiti, attempting some pervasive sweetness I taste in cap hazel

Awesome
Thanks I am planning to do a peanut butter and strawberry jam I want to get the jam right before I start trying to combine with the peanutbutter
Just mixed Mama J's Game Over Custard as a stand alone at recommended percentage and that is an incredible vape. I don't know if I want to add banana or caramel to this or just vape it all as a stand alone.
Ok so messing around trying to make a no bake pumpkin cheesecake in past with Hic's help. Below is a fabulous shake and vape @ 50/50. Right now it's more of a ginger with a hint of pumpkin no bake cheesecake, but it's fabulous imo. Hic suggested using 3% tfa cheesecake Graham crust flavor, but I don't like it so I slowly went up and am happy at 1.5%
2% fa Vienna Cream
1.5% tfa cheesecake Graham crust
1% fa vanilla classic
.5 fa cinnamon Ceylon
.25% tfa pumpkin spice or fa clove
.25% tfa holiday spice
.25% nf organic ginger "The Ginger"
Not too Spicy, the ginger really brightens it and the Vienna/vanilla give it a nice sweet vanilla taste. Let you know how it ages.

I gave this a try... sort of.
I too, do not like TFA Cheesecake with Graham Crust flavor, it tastes like dirt clods to me. So I made a substitution for it:
1% Hics Cheesecake
0.25% each of Fa Apple Pie, FA Honey, and TFA Molassas.
I also used FA Clove instead of TFA Pumpkin Spice. I didn't have any.
I mixed the flavors for 12ml, but so far have only added 6ml of base. I don't have the super taste buds you do. It could probably use a little more base, but I wanted to try it "strong" first.
It tastes good in my small dripper and I think it might be real good at a higher watt.
Thank you for the recipe.

I don't know what an Old Port cigar smells and tastes like, but if you are having trouble getting there with FA tobaccos, there is a cigar flavor that is so obnoxious (it smells like a cigar) that it is good. It is TFA's Cubano flavor.
It is an unusual flavor and there is nothing in FA's flavors that matches it, be that good or bad, and it is very strong. Assuming that the port in your request refers to a cigar flavor aged along with port wine, perhaps 2-4% TFA Cubano and 1% FA Red Wine might be a good starting place. I imagine it would need a sweetener of some sort also, as it is a very dry flavor.
I seen it used in a few recipes. Usually at 7%. To my mind and taste that is too much. But that is just me.
I have been scared to use my VG 100mg base just due to the viscosity. Do you buy the 100mg and dilute? Have you tested your nic chemically?I buy only their VG-base nic, both the throat-hit and premium stuff. I have no knowledge of their PG-base, so with that in mind, mycommentsrambling:
WL was some rough stuff, but I used it exclusively due to low price for 4-6 months. I've also used rtsvapes and Heartland (through a distributor), which weren't drastically different in my opinion, but sure didn't smell as frightening. Then I tried VT's primo stuff and could not BELIEVE how much better my flavors tasted. I've said before it was like upgrading my entire flavor collection in one fell swoop. All other nic went into the deep freeze! Then VT's TH nic was offered at a ridiculously low price, and I eventually caved.
I figured the TH nic would be similar to the other brands - and at least could stay in the freezer for a catastrophe. So now the comparison between VT TH and VT primo, both in VG base. I can barely tell them apart. My partner vapes unflavored a lot; I vape a small tank or two of it daily. We can both taste a little something-something in unflavored TH, but it sure as heck does not make us cough or get the sore throats & morning lung-ache that other brands often did. There's a little hint of (mustiness? not sure how to describe it, but it's not chemical) something in the flavor. I don't mind it at all, but partner claims to prefer the pricier version. Have I ever pulled one over and subbed TH secretly? Yes
With flavorings... Okay, some flavors taste so much better with VT than the other stuff that you'd think you were using a different bottle of flavoring. Cocoa and Espresso are hugely different. Flavors like that mixed with TH versus primo (VG!) - cannot tell them apart. Absolutely identical. Vaping light and creamy fruit flavors, especially early in the day, sometimes I can tell them apart, but after half a tank or so, I can't any more.
I recently got a second liter of the TH nic. I cracked it open to verify it's okay, and it's even better (less scent/flavor) than the first one. Great use of $45, for sure.
Summary (I saw that eyeroll): VT TH versus primo in VG base: slightly to noticeably stronger aroma when sniffing the freshly-opened, hot-from-the-mailbox bottle. Slight flavor difference some will notice if vaping without flavoring, fewer will notice with light flavoring, and I challenge you to tell the difference at all with bolder/tobacco/heavier flavoring. My partner and I are not super-tasters, so others may note more difference than we have. Neither has the "throat hit" or nose-sting or sore throat/lungs that we got with other brands.
Personally - I plan to hoard a decent supply in the next few months before the FDA can screw things up.
edit: PS - partner and I both vape between 15 and 20 mg/ml nic most of the time now. That's down from 24-36 a year ago. So we're generally using it mixed fairly strong.
I shake my pg but its typically frozen or cold. I bought a liter of VG from ECX just to have on hand if someone requests max but I have been using 50/50 for everything (make 300ml 25mg 50/50 from 100mg pg, then make juice from flavor, PG ,nic base, then VG in that order so that gravity does my initial mix).
In Indiana they are potentially going to beat the FDA. But their current legislation does have a 1 year date if passed to hoard but it is possible I would be a DIY criminal if I shared and potentially possessed. Sucks...
I premix unflavored nic base "in bulk" into squeeze-top bottles, just enough for a couple weeks at a time. The rest stays in the freezer. I've already made fill lines on those squeeze bottles. I add (100mg VG-base) nic to the first line, water to the next line (around 15% of total volume), plain VG to the top. I measured precisely to make the fill lines, so I don't have to mess with measuring again. I use a few different formulations, so each has its own bottle with pre-measured fill lines.
What type of nic test do you mean?
It's the CLOVE...just that small amount of TFA PUMPKIN SPICE that makes you think it's PUMPKIN. I was gonna try it w/o ginger as well and with cardamom in place of ginger to see what happens. That ginger really is yummy though.TY for sharing that recipe Daintanee

I tried it as I stated above with .5% tfa cheesecake Graham crust first, and slowly kept adding. Haven't tried it in dripper yet. I usually don't like that cheesecake Graham crust either...but it was good in this. I thought about trying it with HIC' s homemade cheesecake too. Man that ginger is good, totally not what I expected ginger to be like.

Yeah, you're right. I was afraid it would taste like gingerbread cake. It doesn't. I just tried you recipe again and it mellowed out nicely after sitting a day.
Ok I'm hooked. I got a pretty pink mailer in yesterday with Game Over Custard and HIC's Quickberry with a few fruity type flavors to try out. I mixed up the two flavor bases last night and they both just keep getting better. I know I need to steep my juice more to get the full effect of recipes but when they are this good fresh I have no patience Thanks to @HeadInClouds and @wllmc for the great mixes at great prices with OUTSTANDING customer service.

Yeah I'd second starting at a low percentage with this one. I usually use it at 2 percent in a mix with other tobacco or 3% standalone.
Hello everyone.
Thought I should introduce myself after stumbling across this thread during a late night search for inspiration. I'm from the Clyde valley in Scotland and have been vaping for nearly a year and Mixing juice for only a few months. I have found my way to FA flavourings via another forum but see that you guys have a huge amount of knowledge here and I have an awful lot of reading todo.
I'm currently vaping one of my own concoctions whilst getting ready to start at post 1 which is a cherry tobacco..
Latakia 3%
Black cherry 2%
Cherry 1%
Marshmallow 0.5%
Left to mature for 2 weeks or more and it's lush.
Now to find some recipes for tonight's mix session..

Hi and welcome to the forum. Yeah definitely a lot of information in this thread. Some posters have been very generous in passing on their knowledge to the rest of us. Hope you enjoy your stay here.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting the recipe. I have Latakia and haven't found a way to use it. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.
