Ecto-1 (a new all day vape)

[tc1]

Ecto-1, named after the famous license plate number of the Ghost Buster's EctoMobile.

All flavors were TFA using the boiling water quick steep method and leaving the cap off the bottle for around 24 hours.

8% Lemon Lime (You may reduce all the way down to 5% if you want to lessen the lemon lime and increase the punch flavors)
6% Hawaiian Tropical Punch
3% Tutti-Fruitti
2% Cotton Candy

Smell: A delightful lemon lime fruit punch. You definitely smell more than lemon lime but the mixture of fruits blend into one outstanding aroma that makes it very hard to distinguish between each fruit.

Taste: No surprises here ... it tastes like a sweet (not overly sweet) and juicy lemon lime punch. A very fruity and citrusy blend that arouses my taste buds to utter pleasure. Take a 3/4 glass of tropical punch ... now squeeze some fresh lemon and lime juice into the glass until filled ... stir ... drink. You now know what this juice taste like.

Well, this is my favorite fruit-based blend so far. I find it very refreshing and tasty. It's one of those juices that's hard to put down. You may have to lower your normal voltage or wattage to get the "sweet spot" of this juice. It's well worth it!

Sounds awesome, wish I had the flavors to try it lol. I have lemon lime cooler and hawaiian punch though

I like it so much that it might be the only juice I vape for awhile. I love using my genesis atomizer with this blend, as I can vape it at higher watts.

Going to mix up a batch of lower nic because I dang near chain vape this stuff and a geny delivers more nicotine to begin with.

I wish they had a save post function so I could start a convenient file of ideas I want to investigate more

Hmmm...this juice sounds really good. I don't diy but may have to give it a try. Does it taste anything like Juicy Vapor's Ectoplasma?

Unfortunately I have yet to try JVs ecto but I did try to form this blend based on feedback of flavor profiles found in it. Its been forever since I've had a hi-c ecto-cooler as well so I can't say how it tastes compared to that.

If either tastes like a lemon lime citrus punch (and you definitely taste the punch in my blend) then it is probably very similar.

 

[tricci]

Thanks. Yes, JV Ecto tastes like lemon lime punch, much more like a green freeze pop than the Hi C cooler. I think I might have to put in an ordered at Wizard Labs and give your recipe a try.

 

[tc1]

Yeah, I've heard about the lemon lime freeze pop taste. I personally don't get that taste out of my blend, but it's possible others might. Like I said ... Lemon lime fruit punch. To me, that's exactly what it tastes like. With the lemon lime @ 5% the lemon lime is much less intense and you get a little more "punch" flavoring. I really like the lemon lime taste so I'll probably stick to 8% which is somewhat "in your face" but not "holy cow! in your face".

I don't want anyone to assume this tastes exactly like JV Ectoplasma because I honestly don't know. I would doubt it's a clone to their blend but the flavor profiles are probably very similar. It REALLY is a nice and tasty vape though. It's very refreshing, not overly sweet, and the combination of fruit flavors is so complex that it's hard to describe outside of "punch".

This is the blend I'm most proud of to date. I love it and find that I can vape it anytime. No "novelty" flavor for me with this one ...

Recipe sounds tasty, may need to add some flavors to my next TFA order.

I started a page that will make that much easier once users upload recipes

 

[tc1]

I've been vaping this blend @ 1.2% for the past few days. What can I say? I'm just proud of this blend. Man ... I mean honestly folks ... this IS tasty.

If you like fruit type juices ... I wanna know what you think. Personally I think this is "sell' worthy.

By all means ... I urge feedback. I think a lot of folks will enjoy it. Can't wait till someone mixes this and tells me what they think.

Taste is subjective but danggg ... this stuff is so tastey.


I wanna give a tip too. I found that if I put this blend in boiling water with NO cap it steeps pretty quickly. Atleast to the point of no overwhelmingly taste or perfume.

Longer steeps will cause the color change. It goes from a milky white to a pinkish color with longer steeping. It rocks either way honestly.

Mmmmmmm

 

[Denin]

Sounds awesome! Needed to place an order with TFA anyway...

 

[tc1]

Just let me know .... cuz others enjoying it makes it that much rewarding.

I hope you enjoy it.

I did not try your recipe, sorry I don't have the flavors. But you gave me an idea for making an ecto plasma clone. I do not have a final recipe yet, but initial reports are promising.

Thank you for sharing your recipes with us tc1 =D

If you ever find something nearly identical to JV ectoplasma let me know so I can compare to this blend.

Glad this recipe helped you spark some ideas. To me, that's the whole point of this subforum.

Good luck!

You know how when you mix a batch and you smell it it smells great, and then after a day or 2 of steeping it smells like nothing. Until finally it it ready to vape after the 3rd or 4th day. I'm in the no smell phase LOL.

I will definitely post my findings after Chirstmas,

 

[Skoad]

This does sound good. I have everything but the lemon-lime so I will have to add that to my next order so I can give this a try.

It's after Christmas. Just sayin....

Seriously, I'm curious to know if you've managed it. I've tried and tried and I've gotten close, but never close enough.

 

[nickgonzo]

Here is the batch I am most happy with currently, I do have ideas on making it better once I can get some more flavors.

Ectoplasmo (10ml batch)
5% FW Ecto Cooler
8% TPA Lemon Lime Cooler
2% TPA Hawaiian Punch
1 drop TPA Sour
1 drop 5% sucralose

Notes: I definitely think that the lemon lime cooler needs to be apart of the recipe, however it has a carbonated feel to it. In the future I would like to do 4% Lemon Lime cooler and 4% Lemon Lime (and I probably recommend this if you are going to make this recipe). I am also curious how it would be if it was just 8% lemon lime and no cooler. I'm sitting here Vaping them side by side and it's like comparing Coca Cola to a store brand cola. Ectoplasmo is my generic version of Ectoplasma.

Thanks for the idea of using hawaiian punch tc1, I think it is almost spot on for the punch portion this recipe. Let me know what you guys think.

 

[nickgonzo]

I just got my TFA Lemon Lime in, you might not even need Lemon Lime Cooler for this recipe, they seem real similar.
