Update on the previous recipes and a few new ones.

Peaches n Cream - Peach flavor is a little light. Few more days to let it round out, Probably play with ratios in next batch.

Melon Balls - Fairly tasty overall, mixed a new batch upping flavor percentages by 1% , 9% per flavoring. (steeping)

Bananacco - I don't think it has enough Banana, and i'm im not sure i like the tobacco flavor. Work in Progress

AppleBacco- Same as Banana above. Work in Progress.

RWhy4 by tc1 - Make it and Vape it. Period. It's great! (link in original post)

If you're a peach fan, it goes pretty well with the RY4D.
RY4D 9%
Peach* 5%
EM** .5-1%

*I used LA peach for the first round, but have bought Juicy Peach (TFA) for the next batch.
**I bought the TFA Cotton Candy 'cause they were out of EM. Everyone says they're the same thing, though I can't figure out why they'd market the exact same item with two different names. 1%EM is a little too sweet for me, but my wife really likes it. Next batch will be 1/2%, and I'll see if she notices a difference

 

[Proetus]

Thank you!

Bananacco- The banana has come out alot more today then it was yesterday. The jury is still out on the tobacco flavor.

**I bought the TFA Cotton Candy 'cause they were out of EM. Everyone says they're the same thing, though I can't figure out why they'd market the exact same item with two different names.

Cotton Candy is just 10% EM. EM at 1 to 2 % is an enhancer/sweetner. I used it in my French Pipe/Apple mix at 1 drop per 5 ml and it smoothed out flavor and just a hint of sweetness. A little goes a long way!

Cabana Bread (recipe by sturat5150)
7% Caramel Candy (TFA)
7% Banana Nut Bread (TFA)
3% Ripe Banana (TFA)
3% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
2% Eythl Malto (TFA)

This is a good recipe! Recommended!

If you end up not having much luck with the tobaccos that you got, I'd recommend trying out some Hangsens. When I started out on DIY I was just using TFA and FA tobaccos, and it was an ongoing struggle... many more failures than successes. For me, the super concentrates from Ecig Express (called Tobacco Express there) and from Vaping Zone, and the Hangsens have worked out much better. Overall I like Hangsens the best (especially T5 and RY1). The only thing from TPA that I use now is the RY4 Double. I don't get much tobacco taste from it on its own, but I really like it mixed with other tobaccos.

Glad to see you startin' your DIY adventure, probably 80% to 85% of our (better half and I) staple juices are my own, I am at the point where I don't need to buy from others, but the few I do are awesome and I haven't worked out a clone yet, Grant's for example or I go on a sample buying spree for new ideas. Tobaccos are, as stated earlier, tough, I also use flavorings from Hangsen, best results for me out of many other brands. Looking forward to checkin' in

 

[Proetus]

Thank you both!

Try this for Banana tobacco
4% Black honey tobacco TFA
4% Captain ECX
4% Banana nut bread TFA
2% Ripe Banana TFA
5% EM
1 Drop per 5ml ACV
Good after 3 days best after 2 week steep

 

[Proetus]

Ty sir!

Gotta pickup a few more flavoring a this week anyway!

 

[Proetus]

Soooo i have decided i don't care for Hype anymore after vaping My Melon Balls recipe for 2 weeks. I like the Cabana Bread and Rwhy4 recipes above, I make them in 30ml batches now. Mixed up a new one tonight, simple Vanilla custard 5% Vanilla Custard and .5% Ethyl Malto (same as cotton candy?)

Citronut - letting it steep a little while longer before more testing

Melonballs - Still tinkering mostly happy tho. Might up the %'s a touch. Maybe a touch of cream.

555 - Might have to fill up a PT2 or Mini, now that i have em. Should make tasting easier. Dripper otw soon.

Tracked these down for you...

Orange Creamsicle

Peachy Glee

I don't really post my recipes too much anymore, think you might like these

 

[Proetus]

Thank you sir! I'll add whats missing flavoring wise to my next order!

 

[Uno mas]

I have a modified RY4 with Hangsen Deluxe or Havana, either for me are vaped 5 days a week (M - F) for the first 6 hrs at work, usually how long it takes to empty the ProTank, guess that could classify as an ADV,

I currently mix for roughly a dozen friends/family/coworkers and have probably 45-50 recipes that I've worked on and tweaked to my (our) taste over the months, had at one time delusions of actually goin' pro

Peachy Glee and orange cream supplies as well as restocking of supplies on the way!
