Please Help with Recipe Ideas

[drewm]

The following is a list of flavours i own, and am looking for recipes to create with these;

Mango, Strawberry, Lemon Lime, Forest Berry, Cherry Cola, Ginger Ale, Grape Candy, Spearmint, Pina Colada, Orange Cream, and Menthol.

I am new to DIY ejuice so am looking for help it starting to create recipes. I understand ratios of VG, Pg, flavour, and nicotine, so that is not a concern

The only advice I can give is for the safety of yourself and your loved ones do not attempt to create a philly cheese steak flavor... ever. It’s been attempted, and Trust me, no good can possibly come from it. *shudder*
Some sort of orange mango pina colada might be nice though.

Well, it looks like you've got a lot of soda flavors and citrus flavors I tend not to do well with those. Might want to look around the DIY forum for some recipes or ideas, although I'm sure more folks will be along to help.

Have you tried just mixing these flavors as stand alones? Doing so will do a couple of things for you. First, you will know if you even like the version of flavor you picked. Trust me, not all same types of flavors taste the same. They vary from flavor maker to flavor maker. Just pick a couple to start. Like Grape candy or Spearmint. Check to see if the vendor you bought from gives a starting %. And read any reviews from others that have bought them. They can be invaluable.
Secondly, you will be more able to tell what flavors may go together better once you can actually taste them individually.


Let us know how it goes.

Strawberry and lemon lime would be good. Grape, lemon lime, and menthol mixed. Trial and error. Lot of recipes in diy forums.

You have all primary or main flavorings, except for the Menthol, which is an accent. Recipes usually also include other flavorings to round them out, make the primary flavoring smoother or less harsh, to make it sweeter, etc., so the mix as a whole will taste good. You'll need some secondary flavorings (sort of the blenders and/or smoothers in a recipe). Some of the ones commonly used in recipes include: Vanilla Swirl, Whipped Cream, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Sweet Cream, Bavarian Cream, Marshmallow, etc. You'll probably also want some accents and/or sweeteners, as many recipes use them. A few examples of those include: Sweetener, Cotton Candy, Brown Sugar, Sweet & Tart, Sour, etc.

My suggestion would be to check out a bunch of different recipes, to see how often those are used. You'll also notice that the % for the primary ones (like yours) is used at the highest % in a recipe, followed by those that are blenders used at a lower %, and then the lowest % are the accents or sweeteners.

The Diy E-Liquid subforum is a wealth of information, and there are even discussions with recipes there, too. You might want to browse one thread that's called Recipes for Dummies, which includes many many recipes that are easy to make and don't usually require as many different flavorings as others do. Many of us browse them even though we've been DIYing for awhile already.

Another thing to consider is you have zero 'helper' flavors. What I mean is these flavors are just flavors, but may not taste sweet or sour or creamy enough to really enjoy. Pick up some marshmellow or cotton candy to add a little something to help you like your juice better. ie. Strawberry and a little marshmellow. Cotton candy can add just a hint of sweetness to a juice.



eta. @JCinFLA beat me to it. lol

Hi and welcome,
What brand(s) are the flavorings?
What are you currently vaping?
Did you buy the flavors to make a recipe or just because they sounded good?

cheers

There are recipe websites available that you can log your inventory and it will recommend recipes based on other users.

As @Sugar_and_Spice suggested, mix each flavor as a stand alone, dial in the % to suit your tastes. Then you can experiment by mixing a few stand alone's together at varying %'s.

Nona Cake as a stand-alone or with blueberry cinnamon crunch... Awesome!

My freedom smokes has a great product call MTS Vape Wizard: I always use it in everything I make. It sure makes for a better "hit". Here is what they say about it:
"You can make it magic !! MTS stands for Mellow, Thick and Smooth, and it is a major breakthrough in taste technology for PV users. Based on our thorough understanding of taste mechanisms, we have developed a product which we believe will increase the pleasure of your vaping experience. MTS vape wizard contributes toward softening any acidic/sour perception, it assists in making vapour thicker, and it delivers both body and depth to any e-liquid."

Your post reminded me of my intense curiosity about TFA's Chicken and Waffle flavor concentrate. I just don't quite get that one.

 

[Letitia]

Yeah, vaping pepperoni doesn't appeal either.

 

[ScottP]

I will say when experimenting DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT what you put in each one and how much of each. Nothing sucks more than getting it right and not remembering what you did to get it right.

Can’t possibly be worse than that philly cheese steak. I might try it.

You need to live a state or two south .

FA does come out with some intriguing flavors.
