First Mix coming up - would appreciate any input

[28if]

My favorite vape is High Caliber Blueraspberry. I just cannot get enough of this stuff. As DIY is the next logical step in my vaping career, I have decided that this is the flavor I will concentrate on forming.


I did some searching here in the recipes threads and found one from Boomerbude (Thank You!):

7% Sweet Raspberry
6% Natural Blueberry
6% Vanilla Bourbon
1% Bavarian Cream
1 drp. per 5mls. Lemon Juice

Steep at least 24 hrs. the longer the better it gets.


This sounds good to me – so I went out and bought just the supplies required to start sampling this recipe, all TFA flavors.


Below is my game plan for this coming weekend:

All 50/50 mixes as that is my fav, starting with 5 ml samples mixed in this way:

1^st - 7% Raspberry Flavor (TFA) – speed steep and vape to judge.
1^st - 6% Blueberry Flavor (Extra) (TFA) – speed steep and vape to judge.

2^nd – take my 1^st Raspberry sample from above and add 6% Vanilla (Bourbon) – speed steep and vape.
2^nd – take my 1^st Blueberry sample from above and add 6% Vanilla (Bourbon) – speed steep and vape.

3^rd – take my 2^nd Raspberry sample from above and add 1% Bavarian Cream Flavor (TFA) – speed steep and vape.
3^rd – take my 2^nd Blueberry sample from above and add 1% Bavarian Cream Flavor (TFA) – speed steep and vape.

If all goes well I will end up with 2 small samples of flavors that I appreciate. If I am content with the mixes above I will mix boomerdude’s recipe in a largerml sample.


Being a virgin mixer I am concerned with the percentages in the sample mixes? Do I need to reduce the vanilla and cream amount due to only using one of the Fruit flavors at a time? Am I way off to do it this way??

I haven’t thrown the samples into ejuicemeup as of yet.


Any input from you folks would be very valuable to me.

If I were me, I would just mix the recipe as written in a small batch (2-5ml). Then you could adjust from there. I like to keep it simple.

If you want to try the recipe as written. I agree with Dirk, I would just make a small batch, 5 to 10ml and give it a try.

The problem with doing as you propose would be if you make 7% raspberry and mix it half and half with another ingredient (mixture), you will be down to 3.5%

I hope you'll come back and post your impressions once you've tried it. You might find it a little strong so I too recommend you start with the smallest possible batch...in case you need to dilute it some.

Thanks for the replies guys!!! I have an issue of over thinking things. I will definitely come back with my experiences after the mix.

I am really excited to be able to try this.

It has to be a good feeling to be able to vape what you mix.

Till Later.... Thank you again!

Yes let us know how it turns out. Remember to write down your mix, so that if you need to make changes or like it as is you have a reference. Also HotRod19579 has a great calculator here in the DYI which can combine recipes (like you originally wanted to do).

Here is a simple recipe.

7% TFA "Blueberry Extra"
5% FlavourArt Raspberry
4% Cotton Candy

Good luck to you. It is a lot of fun to mix. Just make small batches and keep good notes and don't forget to have fun. You may want to take a look at Vaping Zone gourmet and super concentrated flavorings. You use drops compared to mls in a recipe and I think it makes it more economical. I have been completely satisfied with everything I've tried so far.

Thanks rat2chat2. I will look into the vaping zone.

I think I'll try your above recipe first, looks more to the point.
