DIY questions and answers

[CarrieM]

You can tell I am new at this can't you?

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Carrie.

You aren't much newer than I am... I just check out the descriptions of the flavors and see what I have that can be used instead. That's where the mad scientist part comes into play :lol

Actually, I am not new at all. lol. Just very new at DIY.

 

[CarrieM]

I've been DIYing for a couple of months.. mostly just single flavors though...

 

[brandeeashlynn]

i diy all the time now once in a while i might get some premix but diy has served me well since september

 

[CarrieM]

I thought DIY would save me money.... but nope... to many flavors to try.... lol

 

[TJVapes]

Ha, I don't tell anyone they can save money vapin anymore. They always ask how much I've saved... pfft.

I'm such a dummy. I ordered malic acid crystals. I meant to get it prediluted. I have a big ol vial full of it ..look for some of that in PIF. I did the same thing when I first started DIY with the ethyl maltol. What a pita.

 

[CarrieM]

the malic acid a sweetener also? I have just a bit of EM left. It works, but not quite what I was wanting

 

[TJVapes]

malic acid is for sour. The EM isn't as sweet as I would have thought, and I really don't get the cotton candy flavor everyone says it is either. I use it at 10% dilution so maybe I don't make it strong enough, but I have seen it recrystallize in purchased juice so I don't want to overdue it.

I used to DIY until I found TV and now I am hooked. However at the price I need to find my own recipe for Banana Cream Pie. I am going to try the one CassieM mentioned....

I use Sweetez to sweeten and it's worked - a little aftertaste if you put to much.

 

[pm2006]

I like sucralose.

Has anyone tried FA Bilberry? Dirty socks or a nice blueberry taste?

 

[candy_93454]

Neo bilberry is nothing like blueberry .. im not sure what it they say it taste like because ive never heard of bilberry but when i mixed it all on its own to get a feel for the flavor it took my back to the good ol days of flinstone vitamins i hear its pretty good to mix with other flavors I just havnt gotten around to playing with it yet

 

[Cassie]

Hey all, I need a recipe for a juice that resembles Kool cigs, making some for a relative of an ECFer, PIF style =) Any help is appreciated!

Hmm...interesting because in real life bilberry is closely related to blueberry. Well, vitamins is better than dirty socks.

Anyone have suggestions as to best cream flavor and at what percentage? Im looking to get a full mouth creamy feeling in one of my concoctions. I have Bavarian cream from Mad Vapes, but its...pineapple-ish?! Have TPA Bavarian cream which smells promising but isn't delivering the mouth feel....or maybe Im using it at wrong percentage...

Doing mostly aqueous VG stuff....

Also wondering about a very light grassy / hay tobacco that delivers that and that only - no pepper, just fresh cut grass or hay.

TIA if anyone can help

 

[pm2006]

Sorry . . . . . . but fresh grass/hay sound terrible.

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

I dunno, I'd vape grass/hay flavoring...

 

[bigtimeweb]

HAHA! Dont judge me!

Got some honeysuckle on the way based on one review it was like clover. I'll let you know if it's close.

What is ya'lls favorite chocolate? TPA's bittersweet extra is so potent. I'm @ 5% and still getting a chemical taste. Needs more dilution. Maybe choc is not my vap???

Did a mix in my eGoT tank last night I like. Sounds really weird, but I have been having a ball tank mixing up 1ml of my premixes for tast testing.....

RY4+rum+cranberry. Try it, you might like it!

 

[daisyd]

Sorry to barge in but could someone tell me what company TPA is? TIA
