Dark Ages of Vape DIY recipes

[jambi]

I may have misunderstood you but there are several Red Oak flavorings:
Red Oak Flavor Concentrate by TFA (0.27oz)
Perfumers Apprentice - Red Oak Flavor
red oak flavored concentrate

I believe the TFA are from TPA if I remember correctly.

I know it exists, it's just not stocked by the vendors I use. Anyway, this one's great...
Vanilla Bourbon TFA: 2%
Brown Sugar Extra TFA: 0.5%
Coconut Extra TFA: 3%
Kentucky Bourbon TFA: 6%
Oak Wood FA: 0.5%
Toasted Almond TFA: 3%
Vanillin TFA: 2%
AP TFA: 2%

I have another one, that only uses 10% total flavoring, but it's not so great.

This is a fantastic thread! Keep the recipes coming, please! I'm gonna embark on DIY-ing soon!

Any idea how the recipe should be tweaked for a 0nic juice? Without any nic, the juices tend to not be as rich.

Maybe more flavor?

I'm working on a lemon vanilla cake, it is close so will post when that is ready

Flavor is best without nic,, unless you are wanting a tobacco flavor. most vapors start at a higher nic level and as their taste buds heal,, they drop the nic.. ie,, I started at 24mg,, I spend most of my time at 0 now.. with visits to 1-2-3 nic. ======= I stopped smoking via vaping,,,,,,and became a flavor chaser

Oh sorry! TFA cranberry & White chocolate, sweetener I use EM, ethyl malto, Cookie Dough is Nature's Flavors and that is found at Highdesertvapes.com

Thank you for the clarification!

it looks really good,, and i am very impressed you pulled off a recipe of less than 1% total. you must have very healthy tastebuds! so far the lowest I have been able to settle on is 7%

---------correction,, as it appears I was typing in the wrong values and didn't notice (old brain lol)

Does this have a name? It looks familiar as I had some of these in my cart and/or wish list.

Yep, very similar (looks like same flavors, different percents) to the one I bookmarked on ELR when I was looking for recipes to use my Vanilla Bourbon flavor with. Added some more flavors to my cart, my credit card company will love this thread.......

 

[jambi]

It's Castle Long V2, taken from a clone recipe document I got from another site. V3 is the one earlier posted that uses Red Oak.

Thanks for the conversion! I don't like heavy flavors for all day vapes, but this could have another drop of lemon for more of lemon blast But I do like subtle

I dont have any of those branded flavors,, but I do have other brands of those flavors.. or at least most of them. your recipe has inspired me to try something with what I have.

Let us know how it turns out! I use what I have too, and I don't get too worried about brands, just what I have on hand I wanted to try yours but I have no apricot, thought I did! Need to shop

the FA Apricot will be part of my reg stash,,,,,,peach and white peach get all of the attention as well as lime tahity,,,,but apricot actually shows up nicely and sticks around. it helps other citrus flavors show off too.... a good supporting flavor.

I'm curious how you arrived at your percentages. Are you basing this on the common average of 20 drops per milliliter? Because with that math my numbers look like:

• 200 drops/10mL total (20 drops/mL average) Total Recipe
• 5 drops Vanilla Cupcake - FW
  
  • = 5dr/20dr per mL = 0.25mL/10mL = 2.5%
• 3 drops Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - FW
  
  • = 3dr/20dr per mL = 0.15mL/10mL = 1.5%
• 5 drops Yellow Cake - FW
  
  • = 5dr/20dr per mL = 0.25mL/10mL = 2.5%
• 2 drops Whipped Cream - FW
  
  • = 2dr/20dr per mL = 0.10mL/10mL = 1.0%
• 5 drops Lemon - NF
  
  • = 5dr/20dr per mL = 0.25mL/10mL = 2.5%
• 5 drops Cake Batter - NF
  
  • = 5dr/20dr per mL = 0.25mL/10mL = 2.5%
• 2 drops EM (cotton candy/EM 10% dilution)
  
  • = 2dr/20dr per mL = 0.10mL/10mL = 1.0%

  
  
  

  • 27dr/200dr per 10 mL = 1.35mL/10mL = 13.5% total flavoring
  (sorry for the silly formatting; I was trying to make my thoughts understandable)

Or am I all wrong and you are working on a 40 drops per milliliter premise (in which case your percentages are correct)?

I guess what is most important is how many drops per milliliter is @bnrkwest working with? We need to know that to have any hopes to replicate her recipe.

And I apologize in advance. I am NOT trying to be contentious. You and I are both correct because drop size is dependent on fluid temperature, viscosity, and drip tip size. This is why I prefer "percentage" for sharing recipes; it doesn't matter whether I measure by volume, weight, or drops. I can convert the stated percentage to my desired method of measurement.

Sorry I only use the drop method and not %'s, I just started doing it that way, way back when about everyone used drops and never changed. I suggest try 10 ml by drops and see if you like it, if yes then convert to the way you like by % or by weight for bigger volumes I keep my juice making so simple and just mix in the bottle too. I add my drops, then half the Nic PG/VG mix I use and shake well then add rest of base and mix again. Pretty easy! LOL
