:lol: I did the same thing with Koolada, Danny, I felt like I had walked outside in subzero temps! It was scary for a minute. I remember pouring that out and starting over.

I'm still testing that coffee mistake from the beginning of this thread, still tastes like cloves. Maybe I found a real easy clove cig recipe!

Well with so many people complaining about how difficult it is to make a decent clove mix I would say your ahead of the curve on that one then. If your mistake taste like a good clove vape maybe you should give out the recipe. Never know you could make a lot of people very happy.

I just had to revive this thread. I wouldn't call that what I did was an epic fail but more like breaking every rule in the DYI universe. As many of you may have read I was hell bent on cloning the perfect prime 15. I had made so many test batches and so many 30ml finished mixes that I had like 160ml of assorted products. Well last night I was board and decided to mix all of this together in one batch just to see what it would taste like. The result different but not bad. So I decided to try to improve what I had but was to lazy to do exact measurements. So first thing was I wanted to thicken it. I properly measured VG and NIC to maintain NIC level and give it a thicker body. Good this worked and now I have 200ml of mix. But the taste was off. So I took my tobacco bottle and gave it a good squeeze and though that should be enough. Then took sweetener gave that a good squeeze and though that should be enough. Then took some AP gave it a good squeeze and though that should be good enough. Shook it up really good and filled a clean clearo. Well I had a clearo with original prime 15 and compare it to that and dam it was almost exact. So the good news is I have over 200ml's of this stuff the bad news is. I'll never be able to reproduce it. Funny because I'm the one that always says to measure carefully and note everything.

:facepalm: Okay, we can fix this. How long did you squeeze, how forcefully did you squeeze, and did you do the same force/time with each new flavor?

I hate hate HATE it when I do stuff like this!

Yea it was my "I need to make room for some new stuff so lets screw around with this old stuff before I toss it" moments.

Well it's not a total disaster because as fast as I get tired of the same vape. By the time I finish up the 200ml I'll be good and sick of it anyway.

You can actually still manage to recreate that. Just figure how many mls of each recipe were thrown in together and the rest is a tad bit of trial and error.

10mls Recipe A
25mls Recipe B
18mls Recipe C

Then do the math on that, what % of each recipe was in the final recipe, and figure what that means for each flavor. I would type out a large example but I'm sure you follow so far. Last thing to do would be to start guess working the amount of AP, sweetener, etc. You should have a very basic idea of what you did, perhaps a couple mls each worth of squeezing. 3mls on a 48ml recipe = X%, and start from there.

I actually have all the recipes of all the individuals. And I can estimate the amount of additional flavoring used. If I needed to recreate this I'm sure I can do it. But as I mentioned earlier it's not that big of a deal as I have plenty and most likely will be sick of it by the time I run out. I just though it humorious that not even trying I came up with this.

I managed to make a "burnt popcorn" flavored vape.
I stopped using nic and when I did that I sort of stopped vaping much too.

Anyway, two years ago when i thought I was going to be vaping dusk to dawn I bought a bunch of flavorings and stuff.
Sunday I decided to clean it all out.
I made myself some cherry-limeaid with flavorings I got from Blue Mist. That stuff was great!

Tonight I get out the old Flavour Art, Catalan Cream. Mix up then vape, tastes funky. Decide to add some old Chocolate. Still tastes funky .
I open up the old Vienna Cream, definably smells medicinal. I shake it up good and add a couple drops anyway. Vape, vape, I'm thinking "god this really tastes familiar but not good" It finally hits me BURNT POPCORN!
I don't think Catalan Cream is supposed to tasted like burnt popcorn
I dumped it all down the drain, the flavoring and the juice. Guess I'm stuck with the lime-aid until my new flavorings arrive.

The whole apartment reeks of Catalan Cream/Burnt Popcorn
:blush:
