All recipes here make a 12-14 mg/ml strength solution. Unless otherwise stated, all are based on eastmall's 36mg/ml unflavored niquid, Now Personal Care's vegetable glycerine (a USP brand) and a USP preparation of Propylene glycol. I use the hacomatic formula for a 15ml batch. Flavorings defined in recipes. Feel free to ask me questions.
Tea-Rose
Tastes like Rose Congou tea, or Republic of Tea's Queen of Hearts (or any rose-scented black tea). Very smooth inhale, moderate throat hit, some tingle on the tongue. Tastes like sipping a cup of tea. Relaxing blend. Minimal atmospheric scent release, but mostly rose.
6 ml 36mg/ml black tea flavored niquid
4 ml Propylene Glycol
1.8 ml (36 drops) vegetable glycerin
EDITED TO CHANGE RECIPE -- 1.8 ml (36 drops) rose flavoring (Viola brand, purchased at my local Indian grocery.) Make this .9 ml (18 drops) rose flavoring -- or less!! Rose intensifies in a matter of hours.
.75 ml (15 drops) alcohol (I use Everclear; vodka or Bacardi 151 will work, too)
.75 ml (15 drops) distilled water (just to keep things clean)
Vanilla Rose
This tastes like a pastry I had in Spain, years ago, sort of like baklava -- lots of filo soaked in a rose-scented honey syrup -- but filled with this amazing vanilla cream. It's a soft inhale, quiet but sustained throat-hit, with a burnt sugar finish (that's the vanilla, not the cart...) It's better than dessert and my husband says it makes me very interesting to kiss...

4 ml Propylene Glycol
1.8 ml (36 drops) vegetable glycerin
EDITED FOR CORRECTION: .9 ml (18 drops) rose flavoring (Viola brand, purchased at my local Indian grocery.) Make this .45 ml, 9 drops. Rose intensifies!!
.9 ml (18 drops) Penzey's double strength Vanilla extract (best on the market)
.75 ml (15 drops) alcohol (I use Everclear; vodka or Bacardi 151 will work, too)
.75 ml (15 drops) distilled water (just to keep things clean)
Orange Pineapple
A citrus experiment. The pineapple is really upfront on this one, so if you prefer more citrus, you might want to change the flavoring proportions. Sweet inhale, tingly throat hit, some astringency on the exhale. For a sweet-fruity, this is more sophisticated than I expected -- it's not a candy orange-pineapple. More like Orange-pineapple sorbet, or either a 57 Chevy or a Bahama Sunrise (for you drinkers out there...)

.9 ml (18 drops) Nature's Flavors Organic Pineapple flavor concentrate
.75 ml (15 drops) alcohol (I use Everclear; vodka or Bacardi 151 will work, too)
.75 ml (15 drops) distilled water (just to keep things clean)
Pink Grapefruit
As I've said elsewhere, this is like vaping my childhood -- we often had grapefruit trees in the backyard. This is a perfect sweet grapefruit. Not bitter, but with a bit of a bite on the tongue and at the back of the mouth. Just a little astringent. Sweet and citrusy over the tongue, with an old-fashioned Fresca flavor on the exhale. Great tingly throat hit.
