Just looking to make some 90vg 10pg blend of any kind of vanilla juice. Vanilla custard/ vanilla caramel/ vanilla with anything else you recommend?

been having a really hard time finding a good vanilla blend and im giving up so I can make my own already, Anyone have any good recipes?

sources to get flavorings from? would love it to be organic or as clean as possibly could be.

Me too, kinda.

I've been trying to duplicate a store bought juice called Killa Vanilla™. It has a rich vanilla taste. I've tried many things - nope, not the same. So, one day I took every vanilla flavoring I had and started adding:

Into 10mL of 50/50-1.2% base, I added the following:
.3mL TFA Vanilla Swirl
.3mL TFA Vanilla Cupcake
.3mL TFA Vanilla Custard
.3mL TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
.3mL TFA Vanillin
.3mL Vaporshot Vanilla Cream
.3mL Hang French Vanilla
.3mL Hang Vanilla
(Sorry, but that is all the vanilla flavorings I had at the time.)

Notice I threw the kitchen sink at it. Did the 150° crock pot steep for about 4 hours (shaking about once an hour), and let it sit overnight. The next day, it was "OK". But, in a week it tasted pretty good. Still not quite like the storebought juice, but pretty good.

I think I need to add something other than vanilla to get the full deep flavor I am looking for.

Good Luck!

What??? Only 1 vanilla??? I own about a dozen...

Sounds good to me. Will you (please) suggest ratios? I'll mix 15mL to start. I'm finding that with all the "sampling" I like to do, there is not enough to last 3 weeks when I make only 5mL. I have a boatload of brown 30 mL bottles from our favorite girl (Bri).

Haha, I have many vanillas (not as many as you), but I like the vb. I find adding too many flavors just mutes 'em all. What if you mix 15ml and it's terrible? I've never mixed those flavors in one recipe, so I don't want to give yucky %s.

I'm not a recipe creator. I'm the one who steals recipes from others.

Btw: You might like FA's Vienna Cream. I LOVE it.

Its in the UC now . will update whenever I vape it. should be pretty good lol. I read where HIC did this with coffee. have been thinking about it but your post made me think what the heck lets do it. :vapor:

well Im surprised , was hoping it was good but didnt really have alot of hope but its not to shabby lol. cant really pinpoint any specific "vanilla" flavor and say it taste like vanilla bean or vanilla ice cream but very vanilla-y and smooth for sure. probably wont do it again for awhile because going through everything and pulling out 13 vanillas was a pain . but it is good :vapor: man i really wish i knew what this killa vanilla was. maybe next time every vanilla and caramel lol

OMG, Killa Vanilla is delicious. Closest mix I got was 8%Vanilla cupcake, 5%vanilla custard, then just a few drops of each - brown sugar, whipped cream and graham cracker.

The Reign, I just use TPA/TFA but I hear good things about Nude Nicotine for clean/organic flavors.

I use Flavor Shack's Holy Vanilla in just about everything. Very smooth and creamy.

How do your coils like the Holy Vanilla? I rec'd a sample a ways back and was wondering because it's so dark in color. Haven't tried it yet. Smells great though.....TIA

I use it at about 3-5%, so the finished product isn't very dark, the finished product is about the same color as Black Jack at 10%. I haven't noticed too much of an impact on the lifespan of my coils. I am really picky about vanilla, and most things with artificial vanilla flavor I simply can't take. Holy Vanilla is more like real vanilla. It's real smooth, not overbearing at all.

I found adding a tiny bit of maple made my juice taste like the store bought juice. It adds a lot of depth and richness. It is really easy to end up with Aunt Jemima though...
