Nicotime posted this recipe... so here's one.. lets keep them coming pls.

I love 555 also. The mix I make for a 30ml bottle is as follows;

3ml of Lorann Peanut Butter
1ml of FlavorArts Virginia/Burley mix 50/50, or your favorite tobacco flavor
.1ml of Lorann Chocolate
.3ml of Lorann Caramel
1 drop of FlavorArts Peanut...which is RAW peanut flavor very potent...not required though.

Then add your PG/VG/PGA and unflavored Nicotine base mix to the top.

Mine is approx;

12.5ml of 60mg/ml unflavored Nicotine
10ml PG
2.5ml VG
.5ml PGA

Makes a nic level of 25%

I have to say that I just mixed this recipe up and you could save a lot of hassle and just get some of the FA Turk & USA blend tobacco flavouring as it tastes almost identical.

Another attempt. Another failure.

All my attempts are using 3ml bottles. Mixed 80 drops 25mgVG(50mgVG+VG+PGA/DW) with 30 drops loranns Peanut Butter, 5 drops Loranns Vanilla Butternut, 5 drops TA.

The Loranns PB, while very strong to the tongue, is a very weak flavor when mixing. It takes a ton of it to get peanut butter flavor. The Vanilla Butternut on the other hand is VERY strong and the 5 drops outweighed the 30 PB in this mix. The 5 drops TA didnt do much.

Back to the drawing board.

Resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has made progress here. So, did ya? :D
Dunno. It would be interesting to know though as that mix has 35% flavouring, way overboard IMHO.

Taste being very subjective....and my tastes buds really alive after no analogs for almost 2 years......I quit with 555. So, it is the holy grail IMHO for menthol light smokers to get throat hit without that nasty minty menthol. (we didn't have menthol drops back in the ole days..LOL)

Here is my 555. The ingredients are quite different from the others:unsure:...not sure why. The amounts of flavoring can be adjusted as I have doubled up the drops for a new vaper with success.


Any comments appreciated....unless they are non-constructive:p

Mix your nicotine and pg/vg to your specifications and use 5% as the flavor amount on the calculator...may be shy of 5% but that is how I do it.

the flavoring amounts are in drops, as the amounts are too small to measure without a micro syringe

3 drops TA/EM( as mixed by scuba in a 10ml batch)..(TA and EM from PA)
3 drops of FA marlboro flavor
3 drops of PA caramel
3 drops of FA Tahity vanilla
3 drops FA chocolate.....If you use PA decrease to 1 drop
3 drops Capellas toasted almond

I am not sure why, but the omission of the marlboro flavoring does make a difference and the brand of toasted almond is very important....(to me)
This is the result of about 3 months of trial and error and is my go to vape when I crave an analog to this day. Otherwise, I vape PA caramel candy all day.

Happy mixing...hope you like it:)

Switched - Did you order? I was thinking about it too. My problem at the moment is that I've got way too much liquid as it is. On the other hand I would love some 555 concentrate, and likely won't be able to resist ordering.
Nah this friggin joint is running me in the poor house :(

Got the flavours in today 555 and RY4.

Both are crystal clear. They seem to be held in suspension in VG. RY4 is subtle 10% too mild, even at 20% it is a tad too mild. I made some 30% and it just started to come around. Same for 555. I will try them again tomorrow, and see how they fair out and then again in a week or so.

Switched... thanks a ton for taking one for the team. I got a similar experience with xtreme's 555 flavoring. But no matter how much I added I got no flavor. They offered me a credit but I still havent used it.

Let us know if anything changes after a week or so.

I posted it by itself in the DIY section as it would get buried here.

Health Cabin Tobacco flavours - E-Cigarette Forum

These are spot on as far as flavour goes. I'll be given RY4 a test at 50%, but 555 at 22% should be bang on as 20% too weak, 30% too strong and 25% still a tad strong. So I would start at 20%.

Maybe thats my problem. I didnt realize the flavors had to be that exact. If I told you what I had and I ordered some of the HC 555 could you tell me how I should mix it to receive the "spot on" 555 flavor ejuice?

Im using 48mg VG and cutting it with straight PG to bring it down to 24mg VG/PG I do have Distilled Water and PGA to add as well.

I am using 3ml, 6ml, and 10ml bottles to mix

How should I mix this?

Thanks.

Ah, I see your dilema. I thought I had posted it. These flavours are spot on wrt the Dekang liquid flavours. What other liquids taste like is insignificant to me as I do not use those liquids.

So if you are trying to match some other vendors liquids, then you will have to experiment. Sorry.

When these came about, I was a happy vaper, because of the commercially bought liquids I use. Now my DIY flavours are complete :)

To answer your question:

to make 10ml 24mg 555 with an 80/20 base:

5ml 48 mg = 50%
2ml VG = 20%
0.4ml H2O = 4%
0.4ml PG = 4%
2.2ml flavour = 22%
