Ran out of my favorite flavors and need some help with some make do juices

[Abe_Katz]

As the title says: I ran out of my favorite flavors...namely TFA Apple concentrate and 555 DK Type tobacco (which I use in a mix with EM and Original Caramel [TFA]). Also it will be nearly a week before I can go and put some money on my debit card to order some flavors so I need some help with making some make do juices until I can order some more flavors from Wizard Labs or someone. (Gotta wait on the pay check and all.)

So to help out I've got just a few flavors:

RY4 Asian (TFA)
Caramel Orignal (TFA) [I also use this at 4% with 555]
French Vanilla (TFA)
Jamaican Rum (TFA) [I was planning on mixing this with a cola flavor but those seem to be hard to find]
Gummy Candy (TFA)

I also have EM at 10% solution in PG
Smooth (TFA)
and Sweet Cream (TFA)

I also have LorAnne Cherry (I bought it thinking I may like it--it seemed popular--but I found it to be gross).

Thankfully I have some juice stored by, so I have a little time and don't have to be in a big rush.

Any ideas of what I can do with these to tide me over until I make make a flavor order would be much appreciated.

Heck, as long as you've got an ry4, caramel and vanilla or cream I'd think you're good to go.

How 'bout a touch of rum in a ry4 mix?

Next time I make an order, I want to try an apple flavor with tobacco. I'm guessing your apple is not the green apple or granny smith? Which apple/tobacco combos have you tried?

No not quite. I've yet to try an apple tobacco mix myself. I use the TFA Apple concentrate at 17% as a single flavor. Its ready to go immediately, needs no sweetener and is a good all around apple flavor though perhaps a little on the "plain side". To me it tastes just like a fresh apple. I have tried the apple flavor with the gummy candy and it was "okay" but I plan on trying that with granny smith apple (I generally like apple and other plain fruit combos for some reason).

Either my palate isn't very sophisticated yet, or I just have simple tastes for juice. Generally speaking the simpler the juice the better I like it.

I'll have to try that. I made a RY4 Asian with it that was okay. It was 5% RY4-Asian, and 2 drops per 5ml of French vanilla. It tasted somewhat like a fortune cookie with soy sauce on it to me. Perhaps the cream and the caramel will tone it down a bit. Make it a bit more tobacco like. (that said that flavor did grow on me after a while but I only made 5ml of it and it took it about three weeks to be tolerable).

ETA: I'm not afraid to make something terrible though. (Not necessarily directed at you Michael.) There are no failures, only learning experiences in DIY in my view. I'll see about making a 2mL at 0mg of your suggestion to try it out.

I'm not afraid to make something terrible, I'll mix up a batch now (Spice, Rum and Coke).

Well my plan was to mix the Jamaican Rum with a cola flavor, in an attempt to make something that tastes like Voodoo Cola from Hooligan Vapes. However, the cola flavors are constantly sold out at Wizard Labs (where I buy my small bottles of flavors because they're cheaper that way for experimenting). I'm sure it will turn out good.

I just whipped up 5ml @0mg of the RY4 Asian recipe you gave me and threw it in the drip atty I have (I don't care what anyone says, if you're gonna DIY juice you need a drip atty) and it was okay. It tasted to me like it needed to get some age on it. In my experience most juices need between 3 days and 3 weeks to get good. The more complex the flavor the longer they take. I have only found one juice so far that I make regularly thats vapable immediately--a menthol only I call "Subzero".

Even my apple only flavor (which I vape a lot of) needs at least two days to taste awesome. Though one can vape it immediately its better to wait.

I put it in my juice journal. It may be a keeper.

The Cream will need two weeks of steeping.

Though I'm not sure about tfa percentages for those. But I would say equal parts caramel and vanilla, ie 3-5 drops each. 1-2 drop smooth, 1-3 drops EM, a needle drop of the cherry/ or 1 full drop.. Never tried loranns but cherry would make sense. If your feeling lucky it might work mixed really low with these.

Well after letting the original 0mg juice batch hand out for a week the cream was overpowering the RY4. It tasted like a caramel cream candy to me. So I reworked the recipe:

8% TFA RY4 Asian
3% TFA Original Caramel
1.5% TFA Sweet Cream

So far in the drip atty it has a truer RY4 flavor with just a hint of cream. I made a 6ml test batch @0mg and will let it hang out for a week.

That said I should be able to get some of my regular flavors soon.
