Second paint your syringes with clear fingernail polish!!

VFC-DRY4 20mg 50PG/50VG 15ml

Nicotine ejuice 4ml 26.67%
Target PG50% 5.31ml 35.4%
Target VG50% 3.5ml 23.33%
VZ Virginia Flu Cured 0.24ml 1.6%
TFA Double RY4 1.5ml 10%
TFA Cotton Candy 6 Drops 2%
TFA AP 3 Drops 1%

sampling method:Evod
steeping time:5 second nuke
notes: great throat hit and plenty of flavor
Taste: great taste, gets a little closer to tribeca as there is a more prominent tobacco flavor with the addition of VZ SC VFC, it's still not tribeca but three days ago I tried the original tribeca that I have (used to be my ADV) and couldn't keep vaping it, I poured back into the bottle, for me this is better
Smell: this really smells like tribeca and that is the best part about the original for me at this time, great smell

Toffee Tobacco 20mg 50PG/50VG 15ml

Nicotine eJuice 4mls 26.67%
Target PG50% 6.56ml 43.73%
Target VG50% 3.5ml 23.33%
VZ Virginia Flu Cured 0.3ml 6 Drops 2%
VZ Real Cig 0.045ml 1 Drops 0.3%
TFA Cotton Candy 6 Drops 2%
TFA Graham Cracker 3 Drops 1%
TFA English Toffee 3 Drops 1%


sampling method:Hebel V3 Rebuildable Atomizer (Phoenix V3 Rebuildable)
steeping time:5 second nuke
notes: Impressive taste and flavor deepness but tends to get muted after an hour or so of vaping it this is definitely a keeper
Taste: this is a really impressive taste, it get's that HHV's floral tobacco base tipe due to the real cig and has a small note of the graham cracker on the exhale, I think the toffee is just adding deepness to the flavor profile without tasting like toffee (i would love to add some cherry or a dark fruit to if but don't have fruit flavors)
Smell: I can't quite put my finger on it but a strong complex tobacco

NEC #1 20mg 38PG/62VG 10ml


Nicotine eJuice 2ml 40 Drops 20%
Target PG38% 3ml 60 Drops 30%
Target VG62% 4.2ml 84 Drops 42%
NEC (Natural Extracted Coffee) 0.5ml 10 Drops 5%
EM 0.3ml 6 Drops 3%



sampling method:Phoenix Rba
steeping time:5 second nuke,
notes: I usually make 50/50 but as this was my first try to extract coffee I started with a 50/50 no nic 1ml solution to try to determine the strength needed for the coffee and then once I got it right I added the 9ml to mix a good 20mg batch and use vg instead of PG then had to recalculate...
Taste: with the nic less version and no EM it tasted just like it smelled, pure great black coffee, after the whole mix was ready it has a good strong sweet coffee which I like! I'm going to mix this batch with some tobacco as my original goal was to make a smooth coffee tobacco but wanted to taste the clean coffee as standalone first... I used 2 drops of this mix with 2 drops of my VFC-DRY4 in the Rda and it's tasting great!! I'll still probably lower the percentage of the coffee in this mix to 25%
Smell: like a freshly brewed french pressed strong coffee.

i've been making this recipe that was posted to the fb diy group in May 2013. to me, it's a great take on the halo tribeca and so simple.:

Jeromiah Emanuel in DIY RECIPES

TPA RY4 Double - 9% (Yeah, it's a little high but it turns pretty mellow thanks to the next ingredient)
Acetyl Pyrazine - 1 drop per 5mL

No sweetener, no speed steeping. It will taste similar to the "other" stuff pretty quickly and smells exactly the same after it is mixed. After about 5-7 days, rock solid and spot on. Big disclaimer though: It tastes exactly the same TO ME! lol. I don't want to see a bunch of people saying "Nah, doesn't taste like it to me. You're a smelly hobo guy." To all of those that try it, enjoy and I hope you like it as much as I have!

The new one that I'm vaping I think works really good
DRY4 10%
EM 3%
AP 1 drop per 5ml

I still have half a bottle of tribeca sitting in the pre-DIY drawer, the last time I tried to vape it didn't like it as much as this mix

arabic indian parliament tobacco 18mg 50PG/50VG 10ml

Nicotine eJuice 1.8ml 63 Drops 18%
Target PG 50% 4.11ml 41.1%
Target VG 50% 3.2ml 32%
HS arabic 0.2ml 7 Drops 2%
HS indian 0.25ml 9 Drops 2.5%
VZ Parliament 0.06ml 2 Drops 0.6%
EM 0.3ml 10 Drops 3%
AP 0.08ml 3 Drops 0.8%

sampling method:IGO-W 0.4ohms
steeping time:7 second nuke
Taste: great taste,
a little bit of nuttiness (from arabic, AP and parliament)
a little bit of moistness/creaminess (from EM and parliament)
a little bit of sweetness (from EM and indian)
notes: At first try I think the nuttiness/moistness/sweetness combo really compliment each other and make a really round vape that doesn't let any of the 3 individual profiles stand out more than the rest. this is a not really sweet nor nutty smooth a bit moist genetic tobacco
Smell: not sure how to describe it yet but a mild creamy tobacco
