Nature's Flavors plays well with VG, they use Water/Alcohol/Glycerin based flavoring. They are slightly thin so you'll need to dilute the VG less if you use them. Some of them are a lot stronger than others, but I've only tried a few. There's a sampler pack that's well priced - Nature's Flavors : * Natures Flavors Sample Pack of Natural Coffee & Tea Flavoring Systems

Also if you look through Perfumer's Apprentice a few of their flavorings don't have PG, like the Cinnamon RedHots and Eugenol (clove extract). You can also try Menthol drops.

perhaps we could have a subforum for DIY recipes so we can separate each recipe?

i think it would be great for organization to find recipes to try, etc. if we could get the sub forum i'd even go through here and copy the recipes to their own threads if need be.

 

[Nikhil]

There is one, it used to under be in the DIY e-liquid subforum, but they separated it for some reason. Now it's under Tips and Tricks.

 

[DemonCowboy]

ah, ty that would explain y i wasn't finding it

Tiramisu

This is the recipe I use. There's a Flavour Art coop about to start so you can get in on it or buy it retail. This is the cheapest I know of:

Tiramisu 30ml [FA-TIRAMISU] - $6.99 : ecigexpress: Electronic Cigarettes | Electronic Cigarette Starter Kits | e-Juice | e-liquid

10 drops for every 5 ml of your base liquid.

That's all there is to it.

I'm working on a variation with coffee and chocolate added but I'm not quite satisfied with it yet.

 

[zbasspro]

well...TY Neo!!! Now i can master the art!!! bwaahahaha

Ok some of yall know him a whole lot better then I do....was about to order some more Nic from Levy.

Out of curiosity I asked what his standards were exactly...you know how everyone is always saying he has these "High standards" does all these test on his nic.
Now I've never had a problem with his stuff...this is just me being curious
Cant exactly know anyone has High standards..if I have no clue what anyone's standards are.
I was figuring Id get some examples what what kinds of tests he does or kind of list
this chem < xnumber ppm ect (Most of which I'd have to look up to figure out what he was talking about...but I like knowing just the same.)

Instead he gets irritated with me...Wants to know why any vapor would need to know that and if I'm testing samples from other suppliers. o0

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

Rose, he's always been very nice with me.

I read somewhere on here that his nic juice was tested extensively by someone ( i dont know who ) and it measured up. Plus , his juice is clear...which always is a good indication.

Other than that..i dont really know...But i do use his liquid and it's worked great for me.

Sorry you had a bad experience.

Unfortunately you can't read attitude or emotions in e-mail, so sometimes people just take things the wrong way. With the constant inquisition going on related to quality control, if a random person questions what a supplier's high standards are it could be misleading. I imagine the FDA would probably have anonymous people ask questions too, like secret shoppers.

Anyway, DVap did extensive tests on his liquid to make sure the concentrations were exact. See here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...xtremevaping-com-100-mg-ml-mixing-liquid.html

 

[UntamedRose]

So basically it's clear...and it doesnt taste bad at 30mg...thats the chemical standards?

 

[Nikhil]

Well, that's like asking about 99.5% pure VG or PG, which is the highest purity available. What's the other .5%? Usually VG or PG, but could have some chemicals used in the purification process. It's just not possible to detect some substances at that level. Levy's nicotine is 99.5% pure and then mixed with VG/PG also at the highest purity level possible, so the only remaining testable standards are exactness of nicotine strength in the mixture and the storage quality which you can tell from discoloration.

 

[UntamedRose]

Ya and the only way to know it's 99.5% and not 73.8% is to test it.
The companies I bought VG and PG from have lab reports.

I assumed with everyones talk of his standards that...he was testing it.

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

I have a suggestion.

Can we possibly make a new thread for DIY recipes only ?

It would be nice if we had it as a "sticky" as well.

I've got a few recipes that im making up and would love to share them, and there's a few here posted that are great , but it's hard finding them .

I love this thread..but its hard finding the recipes just when you're searching for them in here.

I know the forum has a diy recipe thread already..but maybe we should have our own ?

Just a suggestion.....whatcha think ?

 

[lilith79]

I like WaCG's suggestion.

I just made my first DIY recipe and it tastes LOVELY! Took all of 3 minutes and once I get some nic its going to be one of my main vapes! I only made it in a small quantity just for testing purposes...Here is the recipe

48 drops (2.4ml) of 80pg/20vg mix
7 drops of blackberry flavor (mysterious unknown DIY PIF origins!)
4 drops of PA malted milk flavor
2 drops of PA sweet almond flavor

This tastes like a blackberry smoothie that is heavy on the milk!

THANKS TO ALL THE DIY PIF PEEPS FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE! I'M HAVING A BLAST!

As far as DIY flavors go I have tried Loranne's and PA. I like being able to order small amounts so I can test things and then order larger the way PA does it is great. and Linda is beyond awesome, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything amazing.

Is there another flavor creator in the US that is good that I should give a try to?

Capella's is pretty good, but kinda expensive:

Capella Flavor Drops for e-Liquid (DIY) use

And they have just added new flavors - waffle & vanilla cupcake. Been wanting to try those myself. Make sure to look at the coupon code link on the left.

• Bananas Foster is a dessert dish that originated in New Orleans in the 1950′s and has spread across the country. The recipe I worked from can be found here: Brennan's - Banana's Foster Recipe
  This recipe uses the FlavorArt Banana Flavoring. The TPA Ripe Banana Flavoring can be substituted at the same amount. I used the TPA Caramel Candy Flavoring, but the regular Caramel should work just as well. Since one of the ingredients is Vanilla Ice Cream, use French Vanilla flavoring if you have it. Regular vanilla may take some adjustment.
  Do NOT over do the Cinnamon, in fact, start with just two drops and let it sit for a day.

  Since I check every week to see if Tasty Vapor has their Bananas Foster on as one of their flavors of the week, I just had to try this one! Mixed up a 5ml test batch. Initial first impression is favorable, but flavoring is very varied since it’s green, and the flavors are fighting each other for dominance. Will give it a few days to brew and then check it out once it’s had time to fully develop. Thanks for posting this one, I can’t wait to enjoy it!

  I’ve been vaping this recipe just a bit everyday for the past 5 days. Tonight I think the flavors finally settled into perfect harmony! And it is very tasty! Trouble is, I have maybe a 1/2 ml left after testing it for 5 days. Now I have to wait another whole week while the big batch I am gonna make up ripens!
  Thanks for the great recipe!

Are Lorann's Bakery Emulsions alright to use in DIY juice?

They will probably kill your atomizer, or at least shorten the lifespan, and they may not vape properly. They contain Acacia Gum and Xanthan Gum, which have very high boiling points, meaning they won't leave your atomizer.
