Ah yes... the elusive Mountain Dew flavor. With some help from other forum members, we'd had a thread going on the juice recipes forum. I checked, and the thread is still there, but it's gone WAY off-topic.
I'd dropped the Mt. Dew flavor for a bit. It's good stuff, but circumstances made it easier to stick with clove and menthol.
Well, I'm back to mixing flavors again.
I know.. there's all kinds of cool and awesome flavors for DIY juice out there. I could spend hundreds of dollars (that I don't have) on all those flavors. I feel like such a loser (ha) when all I have to work with is Lorann flavors. Some do, indeed, suck. But... they're available locally, and relatively cheap.
(Spoons N Spice, for those of you living in the Salt Lake Valley. 2 - 1 dram bottles cost $3, and they're available all year 'round. They have a pretty good selection - I'd say 30 flavors +/-.)
So.. back to Mountain Dew.
Last weekend, when I was picking up some flavors to replenish my stock, I stumbled across some Lorann's Lime Oil.
"Hmmmm," said I, "perhaps this is the missing ingredient?" I'd tried some orange oil, and it was clear from the first vape that orange was NOT the missing ingredient.
So I spent the few bucks to pick up the bottles of lime oil.
I just now mixed up a batch of Mountain Dew, tweaking the ingredients slightly to make room for the lime.
My conclusion is lime oil IS that missing ingredient I've been looking for. The blend tastes just about perfect, and is probably about as close as I'm going to get without spending more time and $$$, both of which are in short supply.
Here's my revised recipe for 6 ml, 20 mg Mountain Dew (all flavors Lorann), to be added to the syringe in this order:
2.50 ml glycerine
0.30 ml key lime
0.50 ml strawberry
0.05 ml lime oil
0.05 ml lemon oil
0.30 Everclear
2.30 ml 48 mg unflavored base
Shake, shake, shake, pour into bottle and vape away!
