Been Vaping For a few years jumping into DIY... Need some advice on Flavorings.. Maple and 555

[heliguy]

Hi ECF -

I got quite a bit of supplies going on. Tons of TPA flavorings, Seedmans Tobbacoos flavorings, and varios other flavorings from Vendors. Im having a hard time getting something that I like. So far the only thing I have come up with that tastes ok is a Peanut Butter tobacco Flavor. Its actually pretty good but not great.

5.5ml 48mg VG nic base
5.5ml PG
Seedmans Com 35 large pipette drops
TPA peanut butter 35 large pipette drops
TPA Cotton Candy 10 drops
TPA - Smoother 10 drops

This is all I can come up with that I can at least vape. Its not to bad. None of that nasty chemical taste in the peanut butter which seems to plauge alot of TPA flavorings.

What Im really looking for is a Maple Tobbacco or Light 555.

For reference I really love Goodjuices M-Light flavor. Its has a light maple/555 taste and its really easy on my cartos and atties.

I also enjoy Halos Freedom juice, and Ave 555.


What Im looking for is some recommendations for 555 flavoring and Maple Flavoring.

TPA Maple does not have that much flavor to it although it smells great. Its tastes very perfumey if you add a lot and it still does not have that maple flavor.

LoriAnnes - Maple is just way to dark for my tastes. I dont like juices that dark as they ruin cartos/Atties super fast.

Anyone have any suggestions for these two flavors from somewhere. I would really love some help.

Thanks

Hello Heliguy !

Not a big 'bacco' flavor guy myself, but I happen to like TFA Maple.

I use 10% Maple and TFA Sweetener, 1-2 drops per ml, (usually 1)
This probably means 11% flavor...not exactly accurate, but works for me.

This must sit (and shake) for a week to 10 days- then it's good to vape.
Too much EM or Sweetener will wash out the base flavor- i have found.

Best to You !

Okay, re: 555.

TPA from Wizard or wherever- 2.5%

It's hella strong so don't go beyond that much. Mine is perfect at 2.5%.

I am a 555 lover as well and I have been trying a few variations with the wizard labs 555. So far I have not come up with anything good. It is very strong. I have been mixing it at 8%, so I will try it at the lower % and see how that goes. My favorite 555 juice was from Smokeless image. Wish I knew those ingredients.... If I come up with anything good, I will post back here.
In the mean time I have found a good mix (from another thread -Ohio Points) that I have been using as my basic go to vape. You may want to try it. It's double RY4 at 10%, caramel at 5% and Bavarian creme at 3%. It's pretty good especially after a one week steep.

I might have to try your ry4 recipe, Bill. I'm waiting on my vapemail and am looking for a good ry4 to start out with. I'm a total diy noob so I'm looking for some good recipes to wet my toes with before I dive in.

I never tried a vendor 555 before, but i got some of the dk 555 from wl yesterday and went with gr8scotts 2.5% and i honestly have no reason to change the ratio. I made there batches last night, one strait 555, one with 3% captain black and one with 1 drop per 10ml acetyl pyrazine, and i love all 3 even without steeping.

I agree with the 555 and AP.

Try
5% 555
1% ap

Found it to be a lot like halo's prime 15. Good TH good vapor at 75/25pg/vg and not to over powering with a slight nutty flavor. You must let it steep for at least 2 weeks. It's my goto vape

If you want to sample it fast mix a 5mil test batch and steep it in hot (Not boiling) tap water in a thurmal cup shaking the bottle occosionally while waiting for it to cool to room temperture. This will give you an good idea on the finished mix.
