Does anyone have a good recipe for an almond horn type jooose?

I just made an "Almond Cookie" would that work? What IS "almond horn"??


Has anyone tried PA Koolada? How much do you use?

I use it all the time.. about 1-2 drops for 6-10mls. It's one that will also increase after steeping... so less is more in this case.

(and Paula.. didn't I send you some??)


anybody make there own flavoring?? I looked it up on line and it said you could steep fruit, tobacco, or whatever in distilled water for 5 days then strain it and add it to your PG or VG?

Yes, I've made my own Vanilla. It's similar to making your own vanilla extract. However, it's made with alcohol, and takes much longer than 5 days. Also note: even though its stronger than say, regular vanilla extract... it's still weaker than the drops made by FA, TPA, etc.
PM me if you'd like to try a little and get a recipe.

Leanne, I've made my own vanilla extract for years using vanilla beans and vodka. If I wanted to make a vanilla flavor juice using it, what percent would I need and how much sweetener?
TIA!

That's how I make mine. I don't add a sweetner, I just make sure it's marinated good (3+months) and then I run it through a strainer (coffee filter) oh, 4-5 times, and use it straight. As I said, it IS weaker than the vendor drops, but it's stronger than the store bought extracts naturally. Plus it adds a bit of TH because of the vodka!

(the longer it sits, the stronger it is. My first batch was a few years old, so it was pretty good.. SO I bought a bunch of beans off ebay, and have been making more.)

My current batch has been brewing for about 6 months. With ebay beans! lol!
I'll start experimenting! Thank you!

You may find some good hints at this thread.

I have experimented with various teas and coffees. I prefer to let them steep for longer times than mentioned in this thread, usually 3-4 weeks, but I like mine very strong.

Brightest Blessings!

1 ml vg to 4 ml 30 mg pg yields 5 ml of 80% pg 20% vg, 24 mg.

Adding flavorings, of course, means the resulting eliquid will be lower mg. I often work at up to 20% flavoring, which would mean 19 mg liquid.

That would be fine with me! Thanks!!

One more question if I'm not pushing it- can I use a flavor doubler instead of flavorings? So how much flavoring would I add?
N/m I can check the calculator.

That would be pretty economical then, right? I have that big tub of VG that I got from P&G. nhaler has flavor doubler for $5.00 of the juice I usually buy.
