Ok I don't diy juice...but all your recipes look so damn good!!! Right up my alley!

DIY is easy - why not give it a shot? That one is really good, and you won't find any vendor juice that flavor... c'mon and try - I'll help with anything I can.

 

[cheetodog]

I wouldn't even know where to start!

 

[HeadInClouds]

Tell us what you vape

I wouldn't even know where to start!

Tell us what your favorite vapes are, your preferred PG/VG ratio, and nic strength, and how much juice you typically use (per day, month, whatever). Then I can better tell how much you'd need.
I'll happily help you track down needed supplies at the best prices I know of. Sort of a hobby of mine.
You would need nic base, PG/VG, bottles, a syringe or dropper, and flavorings.
If you'd just like to dabble and try, we can figure that out, too. Let me know!

 

[AmandaD]

This is my absolute favorite HIC recipe. In fact, it's my favorite DIY recipe! I always have it in a Reo - other Reos get varying flavors, but this one is amazing! I make all mine at 50/50, but I know HIC uses max VG. VapersTek nic also makes a difference, although I make it with both VT and WL and they're both good.

cheetodog, DIY is just like cooking: take a recipe (particularly HICs where he uses drops from the Pure Vapes bottles), put your desired nic strength in ejuicemeup calculator - and voila - great juice!

 

[HeadInClouds]

Yeah, it's sort of like cooking - but you don't have to be a good cook to make great vapes. Ask anyone who has eaten my cooking Hopefully my vapes are better than that.

 

[FL_David]

This recipe looks so yummy it makes me mad that I have put a freeze on buying anymore flavors until I can clear out quite a few, or until I need refills of my most used ones. While getting refills I always like to get something new. I'll have to check back later for this one.

But it's better to have as many different flavors as possible. Then you make more of a variety, and that's what keeps you vaping instead of smoking, right? You can rationalize it. I always do.

 

[FL_David]

I do have over a hundred flavors, which isn't really that many for hardcore DIY'ers, but I'm running a bit short on space. I'm so over smoking. Now when I come in contact with smokers I feel sorry for then rather then share or bum a smoke from them.

I wouldn't even know where to start!

DIY is totally better, so much cheaper and way easier than one thinks. lots of us are more than willing to help and share ideas

 

[Huckleberried]

I didn't care for the Torrone flavor........ made this recipe anyway. It's really good! Creamy, bright, yummy.

 

[FL_David]

You can rationalize it. I always do.

You got me thinking that my creamy flavors could be improved. I have to go flavor shopping, thanks.

 

[AmandaD]

I tried this with strawberry instead of lemon yesterday - it's particularly strange (not in a good way)!

Mandarin or Apricot - maybe. Strawberry, not so so much. (oh, just get the Lemon Sicily!)

 

[AmandaD]

LOL you misunderstand - with the lemon it's my adv, in fact I have it in both a Reo AND a Kayfun. I make 30mls at a time, but that's not enough, so I'm going to start making 60mls!

I was just trying to change it up to see what else might be as good

See last line of the recipe for the 'authentic Italian' version. There's an annual Torrone festival in Italy, and that's the popular flavor in their contests:

I wonder if torrone vapes are available, made with Italian flavorings by FA, of course.

Mmm....mandarin. reminds me of your mandarin walnut torrone...which is also good.

 

[downInTn]

After reading AmandaD's praise I had to give this a try.... YUM... this is a very addicting vape. (putts dripper down, looks for tank to fill)

HIC, I am using eliquidrecipes.com and I can change the drops per ML.
If I am using the same FA bottles as droppers, it will be the same?, 33 drops per ml? Thx

Give it a try! Should work out tasty for you, if they're the standard size dropper?

 

[SusanP4]

I got the lemon & torrone in the latest flavor delivery. I mixed some up this evening and will vape tomorrow.

Watching Peter Pan. C Walken as Capt Hook is rather strange.

 

[Daintanee]

HIC this is real good! Your Limoncello torrone parfait and your lemon meringue pie are GRANDE vapes! Yesterday I made the mandarins torrone with brandy & oh my gosh! I am in heaven! Thank you so much for sharing!!! This is my FAVORITE yet! Keep warm...freezing here!

Ahhh, you have Italian taste buds, D! If you ever get the chance to try the real thing, leap at it - delicious dessert!

I guess I do! I'm loving liquor as well! Loving that ky bourbon and your brandy recipes! If I mix something up and I don't like it I just cover it up with ky bourbon and brandy!

 

[UncleIronLungs]

Just tried this. It's had a days steeping so far.
So far from my diy journey I have to say this is my favourite. I'll be mixing up a 30ml bottle soon.
I found my sweet spot for flavour on my setup to be 18w. I have a 3ml diameter, 24 awg kanthal coil rated at .7 ohms.
Well done again with this HiC, it's brilliant.

This is still my partner's favorite all day vape (using cheap tanks and eGos), so it's one of the few I make by the bucketload. To me, 30-60ml is a bucketload. It tastes the same fresh as it does weeks later, so I don't have to mix it often.

 

[UncleIronLungs]

Good to hear the flavours don't mellow any during steeping.
It's strange because the 1st flavour I get vaping this was lemon, then the nuttiness of the Torrone. I let my better half have a try, she loved it but didn't get the lemon flavour at all! Funny how everyone's taste buds can be so different.
Our taste buds are pretty much spot on again now to, we've been vaping since 2012.

 

[SusanP4]

I happened to have mixed a 30 mil bottle of this yesterday. It is a goodie.

 

[FL_David]

HIC's Limoncello Torrone Parfait recipe:

I'm vaping this right now, well my crappie version of it. I was mistaken that TFA's Lemon would be good enough and adding 0.5%
of TFA Key Lime would help.Wrong.
Now I can taste why I need Lemon Sicily and maybe have to spring for the Custard too.
I did use the Vienna Cream since I have that along with the Torrone and Meringue.

In the mean time, maybe I can fix this with another flavor and push the lemon into the background. As is, it's not horribly bad, it's just not a real HIC tasty recipe.
I like the mousse part.

 

[FL_David]

I am happy to say I'm now vaping the HIC's FA recipe and it is nicer then my wing it version. Then I had to mess with it. I thought with my 40+ years of muted smoking tongue it could use a tad more Lemon Sicily. I bump it up to 3%
That added a tad more lemon taste at the loss of some of the creamy nougat-meringue. It may settle back after a couple days of steeping, but also made a note not to go over 2.75% and set the recipe card back to 2.25%.
I'll wait a couple of days and see if the lemon settles or if I have to tweak the creamy side back in. Messing it up a bit was a learning experience for me, so it was worth it.

 

[Serenity]

I did it! I did it! I finally made one of HIC's recipes using all of the flavors as listed. I didn't have to find a substitute for anything. Ok, I'll be a grown up now. I made the traditional version with the Mandarin and Brandy option. I also made the lemon version, but haven't tried that one yet. I literally just mixed it up a few minutes ago, I shaked and vaped.

This is really good. I can definitely see why there is so much hype surrounding HICs recipes. To me, it tastes a lot like one of those Terry's chocolate oranges that you buy at the store (minus the chocolate). I usually buy them around Christmas. It pairs quite nicely with Blue Moon Honey Wheat Ale...just throwing that out there.

Edit: Oh can someone point me in the direction of a good nicotine that won't leave behind a peppery taste to my flavors?

Vaperstek.org regular nic, or even the throat hit nic (nic with bite) The throat hit is very mild, imo and still tastes clean.

 

[MistyMe]

I've had this recipe on my "make soon" list for a while now and I finally got around to trying it. This is the first recipe I've made with FA Torrone and Wow!... I really like this! I plan to try the orange/mandarin version when I get some FA Brandy and I'm sure I'll like it just as much.

 

[joeyboy]

Made this the other day. I really like it. One of my favorites, but I seem to say that EVERY time. My son, who is my DIY tester, thinks it tastes like cream cheese icing. I don't get that flavor but really likes it and wouldn't give my vapor back to me unless it needed more.

 

[Snowy]

Mixed this up a few minutes ago, vaped it a bit. And made 10ml more right after (using 50/50 base, 6mg nic).

This is amazing, not a sickening creamy juice but a fresh juice with a hint of a creamy undertone. HiC, you know your aromas for sure!
Can't wait to try it with mandarin and rum*.

Edit: If you arent a nougat fan, don't hesistate to try this one. I'm not much of a nougat fan, but this one

I'll second that! I do not like real torrone at all, but it's a fantastic flavor in vapes. Same with marzipan.

For traditional orange, use FA Orange or Mandarin instead of Lemon Sicily, and add 0.25% of FA Brandy.

@HeadInClouds I would like to try this recipe with some slight variations and would like any feedback before I mix it. I am thinking the following:

1% FA Lemon Sicily from 2.25%
.75% FA Mandarin addition
1% FA Orange
1% FA Walnut

I am looking to try the Orange variation but with a little nut flavor added.

Torrone IS nutty - it's almond nougat. Walnut isn't sweet like torrone.
Plus 1.5% or so Custard? As you posted it, I think it would taste like slightly nutty orange juice, if that's what you're after.

If the Torone has a nutty taste anyway I can drop the Walnut as that is what I am after. I don't want Orange juice flavor but just a hint of orange instead of a stronger lemony taste.

Maybe then cut down on the Orange to .75% and leave the Mandarin to .50%? Will that give me what I am after? I don't have the Brandy.

This would then be the mix:
1.00% FA Lemon Sicily
1.5% FA Torrone
1.5% FA Custard
0.75% FA Meringue
.075% FA Orange (or just leave this out)?
.050% FA Mandarin

 

[Huckleberried]

Granted, I'm not HIC, but HIC also made this one. I wonder if it would suit your taste more? http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-mandarin-nut-torrone-orange-nut-nougat-candy.1825/

As far as this recipe goes, the lemon is really nice in the parfait. It's not at all over-bearing.

 

[JimScotty0]

Ohhh! Thanks @Huckleberried, that does look yummy too. Now the question is... Which one to mix up first!

I'm addicted! My first deep inhale of this made my eyes pop in surprise and brought a huge smile to my face. This is an amazing recipe, sweet yet a hint of tart. Fresh, uplifting lemon smoothed into creaminess with a luscious rich yet subtle nougat exhale. I'm addicted, thank you HIC!

You're very welcome! I think this one's a good example of FlavourArt's Italian flair. I don't like real torrone, but what a great vape it makes.

For all those of us who are FlavourArt users and fans, Phil Busardo just posted his 1st of 2 videos of his tour last week of the FlavourArt facility in Italy. I haven't seen it yet but I am sure it will interesting to watch. He is expected to post the 2nd one tomorrow.
