first time diy coffee/vanilla

[wllmc]

gonna venture out and start doing my own juice for my wife and i . played a little bit with zero nic stuff a couple times but i just got my order in today for the nic juice. was hoping someone could share with me a simple sure fire recipe that taste good. not looking for your secret recipe just something good and easy for a guy that cant afford to waste any juice lol. i know everyones taste if different but im sure also delicious is delicious no matter what ha. any input would be greatly appreciated. so its basically all coffee and vanilla forgot to order a few things im sure. wanted marshmallow and a couple things like but here is what i have . all are tfa flavors

coffee
cappuccino
cinnamon danish
vanilla swirl
vanilla cupcake
bavarian cream
smooth
sweetener


thank you for any help or advice

I think cinnamon danish is good on its own at 10-12%. I also like cinnamon danish at 6% with vanilla swirl at 3%. YMMV. What might taste good to me, might taste terrible to you. Good Luck with your DIY.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit I don't have a good Coffee recipe for you, but here is a thread that shows what seem people think are good percentages for TFA flavors (these are for single flavor mixes, not multiple flavors). See post 1671

The flavourart cappuchino is nice. Also with a bit of menthol crystals in it.

I just DIY'ed a Cinnamon Bun flavoring and I was pleasantly surprised, tasty stuff. I've been going high on the PG ratio w/ my latest batches, but for this one I did a much more even 60/40. The higher VG % works well w/ the Cinnamon.

i just did a few , so obviously hasnt steeped yet , kinda swirled it in a glass bottle over steam for a few seconds at a time for about a minute. did them all 50/50 6mg .. did c roll at 20% . pretty strong lol but good to vape. did vanilla swirl at 10% mixed with cappuccino at 2% and that was good. think ill kick down the vanilla swirl a little add a pinch more cappuccino and add a little bavarian cream. and then did a coffee at 8% mixed with the bavarian cream at 6 % and a few drops of smooth and sweetener . wow not good ha. still going to vape it tho lol... hopefully these get better with time having alot of fun already imagining so many things . was pretty intimidated at first but really wanted to do it, glad i did . its a whole new world

DIY is def awesome. I got my 1st package on Saturday and made a 15mL batch of 1 of my favs (blueberry / vanilla cream), and the next day said I was probably gonna chill out a bit on making new stuff. The next night on Monday I made a small 6-7mL test batch, and I've been repeating that exact routine every night now since then. I have 6 diff bottles made up now, and all 8 of my clearos currently loaded up w/ something. I'm expecting 7 more clearos in the mail tomorrow, I think the CE4's are great for DIY, I'm gonna have all 15 in rotation w/ all new combos. Nothing like putting a new flavor in a brand new clearo, and for about $1 a piece you can't beat it w/ the CE4's, ha.

haha heck ya. that was my mind set also for about 5 mins. was just going to do one little test batch now im sitting on 30 ml thinking about what ill do tomorrow . built some coils and just changing cotton over and over trying these . got my vape cost down so much. spent alot getting here. between the wife and i we have alot of stuff mods, rbas, kayfun . but now the coils cost pennies. ebay is great 120 feet of kanthal for like 5 bucks and the cotton, well its cotton lol. giant bag for like a dollar . now doing diy at like 88 cents per 10 ml im looking good for 2014 . last year was expensive but i figure the more i save ill just spends on mods ha.

I thought for a minute DIY was going to be cheaper that was before I became a Flavor Addict!

 

[wllmc]

haha thats probably whats going to happen . all ready adding stuff to my cart probably do another order in a few days. juice was getting expensive tho dripping but its the only way lol. been rationing 5 ml a day. my local Jvapes is going to miss me ha

 

[wllmc]

and the wife wasnt even a smoker , she is vaping zero nic . she started vaping when i did to support me kinda and was intersted in it. so now with the both of us I always have something fun to do like build coils or charge batteries or make juice now , ha

lol, I hear ya! I started out only wanting to create a good coffee vape but ended up buy LOT's more flavors. I'm a relatively new vaper and it's turned into a hobby now.

I also bought a bag of cotton balls and a roll of Kanthal. DIY is fun!

I'm just a few miles north of the springs, what shops have you been to in the springs? So far I've only been to Rad and Jvapes.

Meh, my wife is an ex-smoker and is really leery of being exposed to ANY levels of nicotine so the chances of her trying it or helping me mix are 0 to none. At least she doesn't try to limit my vaping anymore.

lol ya the wife says vape away now , she hated my stinky cigs. ive hit a bunch of them here Jvapes is my favorite spot. customer services is great and the prices are fair. the rest just dont cut it for me , super high prices or terrible serice. I strated my vape adventure at colorado e smokes.. worst ever flavors are crap and freaking 20 dollars for a cheap iclear 16 ! they warrenty for a year but forget that. the next best place is this old cat on platte and circle.... master vapors . they are getting more and more stuff and the dude is super cool . even has different stuff for us colorado vapors also but i he has nimbus rba clones for like 15 bucks pretty sweet deal.... glad to meet another colorado vapor !!!!!!

[crxess]

WHAT? No fruits?

Vanilla Cup Cake 8%
Strawberry 3-4%

Excellent cupcake
Chocolate Clear 2-3% is okay also for chocolate cupcakes

 

[wllmc]

I want to go sometime tho and meet some people and learn more stuff. learned alot down at jvapes and here and you tube but would like to see some of peoples stuff in action. ya them nimbus clones are ok. 15 bucks so you get what you pay for but i do use one everyday for work. hes getting alot of stuff fast down there and some better quality stuff to all the time
