Diy juice nothing like local store - First timer

[Arriss]

Hi Robert, I thought only 2 ounce, converts to 60ml's, my mistake, sorry, decent price. I've used Stevia before with no problems, I have had problems with certain sweeteners affecting my nervous system in the past. Thanks for suggest, got em bookmarked. I'm sure I'll like it to. All flavors on the way, spent more in shipping, then flavors, Lol !!!

$12 for 2 oz and lasts me 6 months. I like sweet. I consider that a good deal.


High desert vapes has flavors and the CAP sweet cream has no diketones and Andria and I like it.

 

[AndriaD]

Hi Andria, thanks for all your feedback/help, I read to stay away from diketones, so I'm with ya. Will order TFA flavors next week, instead of Capella. Here's Lorann flavors I have on the way, Bavarian cream (vanilla), Strawberry, Banana cream, Pina colada, apple and Cappella sweet cream.

I like ordering from Wizard labs, but shipping takes forever for some reason, not the fault of WL company, postal service is very slow from Fl to Tx. Also WL is alway's out of stock on popular brand flavors.

Oh man, ECX has Shisha strawberry but no TFA, WL vice versa. Now, I need to figure all this out for next week order. Oh bummer, I love cinnamon.

I noticed for awhile, I couldn't taste any flavors, no matter how strong stores made juice, menthol flavors work'd really well during that phase, but had to take Zantac, specially vaping wintergreen. Now my tastebuds are back in action. I love french vanilla mixed with banana.

Have you tried any other flavors aside from fruits, was thinkin of soda & desert flavors, for the future.

I need to learn how to re-wick. T3S is simple, but Protank 3 (bdc), I have no idea.

Everything takes longer from FL, their USPS is pathetic. I think they're all out workin on their tans.

I don't recommend the Inawera flavors from ECX, because they rebottle, and the quality is sometimes questionable -- bullcityvapor.com has the Inawera flavors in the original Inawera bottles, so it's worth the higher price to me -- I know what I'm getting is 100% as Inawera intended.

Haven't tried too much other stuff; TFA's Banana Nut Bread is good, though it needs a bit more sweetener to my tastebuds. I tried several different things with blueberry and some baked goods flavors, but nothing ever really took off; I've been thinking lately of trying that again, maybe a blueberry-banana nut bread mix? I was mixing ejuices of those flavors, back before I really started in with the DIY, so I might see what I could come up with, now that my 'buds aren't used to that amazing Blueberry Muffin ejuice I used to get from Sweet-Vapes.

Hi Andria, thanks for all your help, I've learned alot from you. Oh, that's the reason juice delivers from Fl already steeped, Lol !! Cool bcv has all brands. That should save on shipping.

Thanks for your flavor reviews, very helpful. I love blueberry, I munch on blueberry muffins often. I tried banana nut bread from local store, I'll have to agree with you, it was good, but not sweet enough. Appears we have similar taste buds. Very cool, let me know how the mix goes, share recipe when your satisfied. So far shipping is on time, so should be able to test out strawberry recipe you shared on saturday. Change of pace is alway's good.

You mentioned soda... one of most recent projects is to try and come up with a good Code Red/cherry soda type flavor, but my first effort in that direction isn't promising; I let the 2 test bottles steep for a week, because the amount of flavoring was much lower than I usually use, but the first test was kinda icky, tasted like CAMPHOR of all things! I decided to give them 1 more week just to be sure, but I'm not optimistic. I'll probably try to work on the recipe some more.

Another project still in progress is a sweet cherry pipe tobacco, and it seems much more promising. I gave it a couple hours heat-steeping, then a week's steep; one of the test bottles is pretty dang close to what I'm after, though not quite tobacco-y enough, more cherryish. Tobaccos do need pretty considerable steeping usually, so I gave that one another week too, and I feel a lot more optimistic about it; I've also got one other sweet tobacco that I may add a bit of, if it's still more cherry than tobacco

Do any of you use ethyl maltol as sweetener? I like that better than nude nicotine's sucralose.

 

[dannyv45]

Hi Danny, thanks for info/tip, I ordered liquid sucarlose sweetener from Ecig, is that ok ? I can order TFA brand in the future.

I prefer TFA but that should work fine

EM is more of an additive that adds body and thickness. It's not really a sweetener. To much will mute flavor it's better to go with stevia or sucralose if it's sweetness your after.

Just a warning about TFA Ripe Banana...it's a great flavor but a little goes a LOOONG way. Try it at 1 drop per 10ml at first just to be safe. If I added it at 5% I would hit the floor, and I love me some nanners.

@AndriaD - if you ever have any luck with a blueberry muffin recipe, I hope you'll share! I've been working on one... I now have a blueberry juice that isn't quite a "muffin" but I still like it. I've dubbed it "blueberry something" lol. Would still love a blueberry muffin...

Heh, me too... I never could zero in on anything that seemed remotely muffin-life. However, TFA's Banana Nut Bread *is* very good, and I was using that to mix with some of Sweet-Vapes' Blueberry Muffin, so maybe I could figure out a "blueberry-banana nut muffin" sort of thing.

Sounds like racing fuel for my race car, Wonder if vendors have nitrous flavor, Rofl !!! Good question, read EM is very popular.

Hi Andria, I enjoy drinking Dr. Pepper chew on ice while vaping, thought if I can vape soda flavors, don't have to drink it. Hopefully I can come up with a decent vanilla DP flavor. Sorry, not a fan of cherry soda. Never like cherry much. That sucks, I'm sure you'll figure out a zippy cherry flavor recipe.

Hmm, tobacco flavor. Never thought of trying. Keep me up to date, how flavors are workin out for ya.

Awesome news ! All my flavors came in today, to my surprise. Wasn't suppose to get here till monday. Now, I can try your recipe this evening. Took tops off flavors for a few hours now. All smell good cept Banana cream, smell's like model glue, Lol ! no joke.

Quick update, tried Strawberry recipe provided by Andria, I can sense very delicious flavor, it's there but one of the flavors I added causing slight soap dish taste, or maybe new coil I added not saturated after 5 minutes, will let sit over night try again. I had to bump Strawberry from 12% to 14%. Didn't add any sweetener. Will remake next week with TFA flavors/sweetener, when order comes in.

My French vanilla recipe has improved drastically, more delicious. I added Banana cream 5%. Strawberry 5%, sweet cream 2% and 1ml Koolada, 30ml mix. Improving to perfection

Just as an FYI you can find TFA flavoring branded under 'signature' on ECX!

Except for TFA Sweetener -- ECX sells only their own-branded generic sucralose, and it totally sucks. Also, with ECX's Signature "blueberry" -- there's no way of knowing if it's Blueberry-Extra, Blueberry-Wild, or what. And they don't seem to have any of TFA's DX flavors.

Ugh sucralose tastes so bad, as does stevia.
