First time with VZ super concentrates

[dannyv45]

Hi all

Decided to dive into the world of fruits and placed an order over at VZ for some super concentrates. I've been mixing tobaccos for the past few months and decided I would like a change of pace. I know how to mix and know the super concentrates are used at 2.5% so I'm not looking for advice on how to mix I'm pretty good at that already. I'm just looking for some good receipes. At this time I don't have anything in particular in mind and I'm open to any ideas. I'm thinking on the lines of banana cream pie, chocolate cream pie, coffee mixes, bakery goods, some creamy fruits etc.... Heres what I ordered:

I mix my base at 75/25 PG/VG 2.4% NIC

Super concentrates.

Coffee Super Concentrated Flavor (Coffee-Flavor)
Cream Super Concentrated Flavor (Cream-Flavor)
Peach Super Concentrated Flavor (Peach-Flavor)
Double Apple Super Concentrated Flavor (Double Apple-Flavor)
Strawberry Super Concentrated Flavor (Strawberry-Flavor)
Banana Super Concentrated Flavor (Banana-Flavor)

Already have some standard concentrates (not super) as follows:

Vanilla
Caramel
chocolate
AP (Nice nutty stuff)
Sweetner
hazelnut
Deluche de leache (Nice vanilla/caramel cream)
Graham cracker
Peanut butter
marshmello
irish cream
honey
jamaican rum
black cherry
kentucky bourbon
toasted almond

Would love to here some ideas.

Peach and cream
graham craker,carmel,cream,bananna,bourbon?

I haven't worked with these super concentrates, so I guessing based on food flavors

Seriously, just go ahead and play with it.

I got my supplies today. I had a couple of recipes that I had collected and meant to try but realized I didn't have equipment (syringes) small enough to measure stuff out properly. So I decided to experiment.

First try - took 6 ml of my base (40/60 at roughly 16%) and added .4 ml of double chocolate and .4 ml creme de menthe. Shook it up and tried it. Heck, it was better than any of the juices I've bought!! Downright delicious!!

Then tried the same thing with Bavarian cream (.5 ml) and creme de menthe (.25 ml). It was good! Basically tastes like a mild mint so I'm going to add more flavoring and I'm sure it'll be even better.

Heck, this is fun.

Those combos look great Since I wanted to try a coffee I think I'm going to start with

Try for a cafe mocha

2% Coffee (Super con)
2% Deluche,
1% honey
1% chocolate

May need 1% sweetner

What do you think? Not sure about the honey. Maybe substitute the vanilla for the honey.

May also try:

2% Coffee (super con)
2% Deluche,
2% hazelnut

May need sweetner at 1%

It is a great feeling when your mixes turn out great and you can't beat the excitement it brings. And now the experimenting begins... great job

Your not going to want to end up much higher than 2.5% for total of all the flavors. Another way maybe is to make up single flavors at 2.5% and then mix those bottles together

Just a lil' caution I learned via da ECF, be very careful wid da honey! Supposedly, it's not da most friendly of da flavs.

Last year at VapeStock, someone was braggin' 'bout his honey 'bakky DIY. My gawd, I spent most of da afternoon doing laps around da genre and taking breaks outside to avoid his vapor!

I know for the super concentrates I should'nt go over 2.5 and I'm starting at 2%. I'm only using one super concentrate per mix for now and the rest of the flavors are standard concentrates. You think thats to high for the supers? The other flavors are standard concentrates and I thought 1 - 2 % would be good on thoses to start. But I certainly would like to here your thoughts on that.

Also if I'm understanding you correctly your recommending if all the flavors I'm using in a single mix are super concentrates then don't go over 2.5 total for all super flavors combined?

Good to know I'll start real low like a half percent if I decide to use honey. I always start with 5ml test batches

Maybe, but you can always add the sweetner if you need it after you tested it.Yes, I think Vannilla will work too,

good luck,let us know what you think

I like a little irish creme in coffee too

That should work alright. Just when using the super concentrates keep the total at about 2.5% of those flavors. When I mix flavors I make single flavors first and then combine them to end up with a mix. Never took the time to figure out a little of this and that.

Let us know how it works out

Newbie question: what is VZ?

Got it. when using more then one SC premixing them seperatly then using 2.5% of that is a great idea. For instance

1.5% coffee (SC)
1.5% Sweet cream (SC)

mix them together then use 2.5% of that combination.

 

[DeeDee1234]

If they are really that strong, maybe, shuuush Don tell anybody.... a drop or two

 

[mgmrick]

Or mix up a bunch of single flavors at 2.5% say 10ml bottles. Then take those bottles and combine them. Or say 7ml of one premade mix and 3 ml of another flavor for a total of 10 ml of juice. I always have a bunch of flavors premixed then combine them up. Example cherry cigar for me would be.... 7ml of cigar flavor and 3ml of cherry flavor

If you are using ejuice me up calculator change the drops to 45 drops equal 1 ml
