Questions regarding base flavor and" dryness"

[Heabob]

You would probably want a good Bavarian Cream as well but the one I use from TFA has diacetyl in it. Maybe someone can chime in with a good BC with no diacetyl.

TFA DX Bavarian Cream is a good one.

Spot on list BTW.

Adding INW Biscuit to the list, and INW Lemon Cake is yummy even stand alone.
INW Peach, Mango, Pinacolada, & Coconut Cookies too.
CAP Sweet Tangerine is my fav. Orange.
CAP Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
TFA Blueberry Wild & Blueberry Extra are both great.
FE Lemon & FE Blackberry are both good/strong ones but only available at ECX.

Compiling a list now gonna ad some vape wizard MTS and some sweetener to the list as well, and man I these last few days have really put this into perspective for me anyone making good diy e juice has some mad skills, and I'm also wondering if the nice vape I've been getting is due to the not so friendly additives and chemicals used in some flavors

Most likely...
Even using tiny amounts can really make a difference IMO.
But using other additives like Stevia/Sweetener/EM, or MTS can also help.

400+ flavors now just to find the Strawberry I liked best.
Well, plus a few others along the way.
When I started vaping 2+ years ago I hated Strawberry with a passion.
But after finally trying the INW Shisha Strawberry last, now it one of my favorites, go figure.

Still searching for a good Cherry tho, must have around 10 of those.
Had high hopes for the INW Cherries but no joy yet, lol.

Really wanting a good honeydew as well that milkshake flavor with the honeydey is like liquid crack, I will clone that recioe , one day

 

[Dripboxsaga]

And ended up with some liquid pyure stevia only one with no other chemicals in it just apple vinegar and citric acid

I been using this one...it's VG based, on Amazon.

 

[Dripboxsaga]

[Dripboxsaga]

So the next border is as follows
Cap sweet cream
Cap sweet tangerine
LA banana cream
Cap vanilla bean icecream
Cap Bavarian cream
Cap blue rasp cotton candy, for the wife, lol
Cap v2 graham cracker
Cap sweet watermelon
Cap vanilla whipped cream
Cap sweet mango

Tfa graham cracker crust cheesecake
Tfa smooth
Cap sweet strawberry
MTS vape wizard
Cap vanilla custard

Hooefully with the fa flavors I have these should satisfy my sweet tooth I'm hoping, Monday my scale will get here so at least mixing will be a little faster and more precise, I really don't like using syringes.

Nice list

I think Smooth and MTS do the same thing dont they? I have both but hardly use either. Right as I say that I take a vape of a juice that might need a little smooth

I would recommend INW Shisha Strawberry over Cap sweet strawberry. It is a little more expensive but it is more concentrated and tastier.

Cap super sweet is good but powerful, I would recommended using that at .50% to start. It is not just sucralose but citric acid as well and another ingredient, can't remember the last one.

Haven't paid yet figured I'd wait for some feedback, so out of smooth and the MTS which is better, or is it another user preference type thing

 

[Dripboxsaga]

If this order doesn't cover my sweet creamy needs, I will be forever cursed with vaping storebought juices lol. Again guys I really appreciate all of your time and input

 

[mjag]

I am not really sure which is better, from what I remember people like MTS for tobacco vapes, if that's the case then I would guess Smooth would be the better choice. I haven't really looked much into it though, both are products that rarely get used for me, only used when a mix just tastes off, a couple of drops of Smooth might help.

Don't give up on DIY, I had a rocky start at first too but am so glad I have stuck with it. There is just a learning curve and it can take a couple of months but once you get it you will love it.

One thing that helps for me is to smell a flavor first to gauge the strength. Then it is a good idea to make a small sample and start at the low end % wise, easier to add more. With more experience it gets easier to smell a new flavor and figure a starting %.

If your trying mostly CAP flavors I can also recommend:

CAP Apricot
CAP Jelly Candy
CAP Golden Pineapple
CAP Juicy Orange
CAP Juicy Peach
CAP Blueberry
CAP Blackberry
CAP Creamy Yogurt
CAP Greek Yogurt
CAP Cereal 27

And FA Coconut cause it doesn't have the baddies and is quite good.
I get mostly a buttery taste but it does work well adding some butter to recipes.
Some taste the Coconut just fine tho.

+1

Thanks guys, I'm definitely gonna stick with it I just had my sights set way too high, and I've been doing 10 mls of straight VG since my pg is not agreeing with me,( tried it at 80vg20pg) and I got a lot of the dry feeling, straight VG is nice though. Tried the Fuji apple cookie at 2% Fuji 2% cookie and 1% marshmallow with 1 drop of stevia it wasn't too bad but not good either. And I've been trying all of them at 1/2/3/4/ % starting low like you all have said and seems like it gets drier and drier as I go up. And I'll have to hold those other cap flavors for a future order the one I posted hit my 60$ limit for this pay period lol

 

[Dripboxsaga]

The wifey sometimes has trouble seeing past the initial cost

Mine sees all the flavors I have already and can't understand why I need more, lol.
But at least its taken me 2+ years to get them.
Always seems to be a next time tho.

 

[Dripboxsaga]

Yup its like that with all my hobbies but I figure the 150$ I've saved not buying cancer sticks should cover my supplies for sure. And quick ? Should I be taking any special measures with mixing in straight VG iv been popping in the crockpot for a few mins and shaking vigourously any other tips for working with VG since I'm not digging my pg

I always add 5% distilled water to my 100% vg mixes to thin them out. I just started doing 100% vg mixes and so far the results have been very good.

Try some of @Squonk's recipes. He uses a mix of INW, CAP, and FA. I don't get the dry mouth from them. I think he is my brother from another mother... LOL

Thanks for the info gopher

That's freaking hilarious I love those movies

 

[ResIpsa]

I am new to vaping and DIY juice as well so I can't give much advice. But, I will say that I have the same problem as you. I have a bunch of FA flavors and have tried several recipes on this site including those from HIC's. I get the same dry throat feeling after mixing even shaking the sh!t out of it. However, after steeping (time) for 3-10 days all that I've tried seem to smooth out for me except those with citrus fruits. It may be the citric acid causing the problem for me.

I'm still trying the different flavors including some from different companies like TFA, FW and Cap.

[Dripboxsaga]

I'm wondering what's actually the cause of some people getting these sensations of dry vape when using fa flavors
