every time I try I get way carried away
I was doing good the other day I was on the right track then it went south. I started with 4% caramel, 3% asian ry4 about 10 drops of AP and 3 drops of DK tab (because it will over power if you use to much and I just wanted a hint of the flavor) 1% vanilla swirl 10 drops of hazelnut 5 drops of FA peanut about 10 drops of EM mix in a 60 ml bottle it was pretty good it wasn't a true Chinese 555 (you can get that flavor form health cabin if you like that which I do) it was more of a backwoods brew style 555. I kept thinking it need something else and that's when I lost control of my recipe. I added 4 drops of RY4 double ( because I really don't like it that much so I used it sparingly ) and 1 drop of m-type because it's way strong. the last 2 ingredients just totally changed the taste of it. so it's steeping in a cupboard but I'm thinking I got carried away.

Kabonk - that is a lot of flavoring. I'm hoping it will be easier than that. I use to vape BWB 555 and really liked it. I'm sitting on 3 recipes and just waiting on some input before I start this quest. Please let me know how it comes out.

fan & jee - I have not tried any super concentrates. I heard several people talk about them. next time I order flavors I will check them out.

Well, what I do is take a recipe like I posted as a "base"/guide. I know that I don't always have the exact flavor or brand that a person who posts a recipe uses. Like for instance, someone posted a clone for Boba's. He used 6 drops of Black Cigar (fka Black n Mild VZ) 2 drops coconut (VZ) and 2 drops cotton candy (flavorwest or some odd brand) (he also used all VG) (5ml total product)
Well, I didn't have any of that LoL. However, I have Cigar from VZ which is supposed to be identical to Black N Mild but w/ less of a chocolate note (which is why I got it), coconut extra (TPA) and my own E.M. mixture (most if not all cotton candies are just ethyl maltol in PG, which is what I did).
I have no idea what Boba's is supposed to taste like but if it tastes like this, it's good. It's a light coconut tasting cigar flavor. I just made it yesterday so it may get even better as it sits.

I just posted a reply in the Boba's clone thread asking something similar to what Rin13 stated here. I would like to make a 555 just to try it. I've never had it before, but would like a description if anyone would offer their taste impressions. I'll probably start with TFA's 555.

Not to get this thread started in a different direction, but could you offer a type of chocolate (dark, bitter, milk, etc.) that B&M might have in it. I'm going to try to use Captain Black and some additional flavor to get close to B&M for my Boba's clone.

thanks, I'll add that to my list. I also need to track down someone here who has posted several versions. I think the last one was try #15. i'm hoping for a flavor like bwb 555. I vaped it regularly a couple years back. fairly sure dk 555 tab and AP are in there.

That was me (Taste just like halo's prime 15) look above.

If you need a slight sweet note add 1% sweetner.

My ADV

Hangden T5 7 - 8%
AP 1%

Remember to steep the mixes or they may be tasteless or taste like crap. Mine should'nt take much steeping time. In fact the first time I reached my successful % with this mix I steeped it in a thurmus cup filled with really hot tap water until it cooled to room temp. I did this 3 times shaking the bottle like crazy between each time and it was ready in just under 3 hours. Now I do all my steeping in a heated ultrasonic cleaner.

Where do you purchase your hangsen t5 and acetyl pyrazine from? Also can anyone provide a link to ethyl maltol/cotton candy flavoring? Ecigexpress has a bunch of cotton candy flavors and I'm not sure which one to order.

Here's where I purchase AP..... One Stop DIY Shop Store - Search Results for "acetyl"

Go to this page and select Cotton Candy from the drop down list (do not select Cotton Candy Circus) ..... The Flavor Apprentice Professional Flavors - One Stop DIY Shop Store

I've made several purchases from One Stop DIY Shop and been pleased with the shipping speed and products I purchased.
