I call it cool summer days or at least that's what I just came up with. wife loves it co workers and new people I meet love it.

30ml

30% flavor (I have no nic to add so nic free)
3ml strawberry
3ml watermelon
3-5 ml mint
19-21ml of your choice of pg or vg mix

First you taste watermelon or is it strawberry? but the end is a nice cool throat :)

I have had to let this mix sit for about a week to get the real flavor of it, at first the watermelon is over powering.
I have only used 100% vg and the flavoring thins it out ok but still kinda thick.

I know next to nothing about DIY, but I do like to play with flavors when dripping :D So this is what I came up with from two different juices that I Love!! I'm putting what I actually do in parenthesis, but the %'s should translate nicely as a flavor base.

Chocco-colada
33% Chocolate (in my case, 1 drop of chocolate cake juice)
33% coconut (1 drop coconut rum juice)
33% pineapple (1 drop aroma pineapple juice)

I had something similar in a special edition candy bar once, they had tropical mounds candy. I tried one, then went back to the store, bought the whole box, stuck them in my freezer and they lasted a year because I loved them so much I would only allow myself one a week :D Very addictive, and now I can duplicate it in vapor!!! WOO! :vapor:

This is my favorite diy mix, I call it -- Fruit Bazooka

I start out with 100% vg @ 24mg and add equal parts of banana, apple, strawberry, and grape, till the total amount of flavoring is somewhere between 10% to 20%(sometimes I like it stronger). And then I use my 'secret ingredient' to thin it out to my liking.. Crown Royal! I love the taste crown royal gives when vaping. Hell, that could be a flavor by itself! This is my evening vape. I like a sweet vape after work, it keeps me from shoveling down the junk food. :)

It has been brought to our attention that some of your might feel like the prizes chosen for this contest seem to be inadequate compared to other vendors similar contests. I am sorry if you feel this way, please try to keep in mind that we are very new and this company was founded with limited resources. And our contest prizes reflect that. We have an obligation to work within our means in order to be able to continue providing competitive pricing that we are offering.

What we lack in substantial capital we hoped to make up for with low prices and superior customer service and grow the company that way. I know the competition is steep out there and there are still a few excellent vendors out there who care more about their customers than they do making huge profits. We are trying to craft an image that directly reflects this type of business attitude.

I very much appreciate everyone's participation in this contest and I know that we are all working with limited resources. We ask that you do not go out of your way or waste any of your own resources for this contest. The primary reason we started this was to get an idea of what our customers and potential customers want, while rewarding as many people as possible without breaking the bank. You do not need to post exact recipes if you do not know them, your general ideas and rough estimates are fine as well. I hope you all understand and again I apologize if the prizes for this contest do not meet your expectations.

Best Regards,
~Brewtus

The way I see it, this contest will serve two purposes. First, it will give you a great resource to know what vapers want, whether they have tasted the flavors they are suggesting and know them to be good, or they are dreaming up what they would like to taste and haven't found yet.

Secondly, it provides a wonderful format of feedback for those chosen, so that the "creator" of the flavor is also involved in the fine tuning of its perfection.

It's win-win! Why was there any squabble over prize amount? I would think the best prize has not been mentioned here yet - that of conversing with a vendor and possibly getting your choice vape perfected! If you look at it this way, I don't feel the prize is small at all. :)

This is indeed an excellent way of looking at it, and I hope that most will agree. To answer your question, yes, I did receive a couple of PM's from members who mentioned that other vendors had offered much more substantial prizes to the winners of similar contests.

I hope I have not offended anyone, just wanted to explain the situation and hope we can move past it. And I do appreciate everyone's feedback and suggestions. So with that being said. Let's keep the suggestions coming. :toast:
