I've looked through this thread like 6 times over a few weeks for the great receipes. Is there a place that has all Capella recipes? Or can maybe a mod clean up the spam/chat on this. I think this is a great resource but it sucks having to read through all the chat every time instead of receipe related things...

all the positive recipees should be added to the first post and updated reugulary

Ralikar, most of us experienced DIYers have a separate MS Word file (or some similar text only file) on our hard drives, and we just simply, easily copy the recipes over. That way we have our own recipe database so we don't have to read through a thread 6 times like you did. Also we can search for specific recipes, or recipes from a certain person, or search for a key word like "espresso" to see what everyone is blending with their "espresso." Just a suggestion.

Congrats on your new Vet status!:)

p.s. - mods don't clean up threads.

Ny, as in "Ny cheesecake" (New York ???)

was bored and playing around....had a weird craving for a desert/sweet vape today. I have been on a tobacco kick lately, and when i opened my mixing bag the aromas of the desert flavors hit and stuck with me.....so I decided to mix up a little sweetness!

Using Capellas flavoring @ 15% (could probably gotten by with 10%)
mixed in 10ml bottle
100mg nic (PG based) cutting down to 18mg
based on 20 drops = 1ml
50/50 target mix

PG Nic - 1.8ml (36 drops, 18%)
PG - 1.7ml (33 drops, 17%)
VG - 5ml (100 drops, 50%)
Flavoring - 1.5ml (30 drops, 15%)
Capella Sugar Cookie - 15 drops
Capella Vanilla Custard - 10 drops
Capella Cinnamon Danish - 5 drops

5 minute soak in HOT water, shook well for 2 minutes, filled and vaped!

The flavor feels a little on the strong side, and I think I should up the drops/ml to 25. I think next time I am going to try this without the cinnamon Danish to see how it comes out. Its almost like a Snickerdoodle taste with the cinnamon though. Been enjoying this vape all evening. Any pointers or changes for improvement will be very much welcomed. Something is missing/lacking. I never really tried to learn mixing....didnt have the patience. I just throw some stuff together....and try to vape it...lol Just go by what sounds good.

When I mix batches I mix enough that will let me to drip once in awhile for taste as well as enough to let sit for a couple weeks to a month. I would say let it sit and steep for a couple of weeks and come back to it. You will be surprised how well stuff blends together and even some flavors get stronger the longer they sit.

Yeah, I know they change....and I know I'm supposed to let them sit....but that is the one part of DIY I have problems with....lol

I never make it in enough time to do that, always right before I need it. :blush: I do give it a couple of days steep time though, but no juice stands a chance around me....especially not for a month....lol

Sounds like a very good recipe, will give it a try once I get all the ingredients.

It's actually been really good, been an all day vape since I made it. I will say I have tried the 10% flavoring in both 25 and 20 drops per ml, as well as 15% both ways, and IMO after a couple of days, the 15% at 20d/ml has been the best result. Those figures are from the juice calculator app I have on my iPhone, so other calculators may be slightly different, maybe even more accurate for fine tuning...but I am happy with my results. :)

Let us know how it turns out for you, and any tweaking you do.

Since this is supposed to be recipes...I have a few to throw in.

Whoppers (malted milk-ball candy - took 4 tries to get it close to right)
Mixed at 3ml
1 drop FA Malted Milk (VERY strong)
1 drop Capella Cotton Candy (used as sweetener- can be substituted)
2 drops Capella Vanilla Custard
5 drops Capella Double Chocolate

Peppermint Mochaccino
Mixed at 3ml
3 drops FA Peppermint
3 drops Capella Cappuccino
3 drops Capella Double Chocolate

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Mixed at 6ml
10 drops Capella Sweet Strawberry
8 drops Capella Double Chocolate


That Peppermint Mochaccino recipe is very good, one of the first I tried and one of my favorites. Based on how good that one was I mixed up the other two just now and am going to try them soon.

I would very much like to know that French Vanilla Cappuccino recipe you hinted at.
