    I have them both on my list to order over the next few days... Per the discussions here on your thread. Looking at the 2nd linked recipe using sesame dough, Dim Sum Sesame dessert Ball. I’m curious about a few of it’s flavors but don’t really wanna purchase to only use in 1 recipe. Have you or anyone used any of these?..
    WF Banana Puree
    WF Sesame Candy
    FLV Kinako Soy
    FLV Sweet Dough
    Not a one

    Morning flavorers. LOL I do have "buy flavors" on my to do list but it's low on the list. Sadly. There are many more (unfun) things to do first. The good news is, if I DO them, well, I am more likely to feel okay buying flavors, even without July 4th sales. Have many delicious ideas but I WILL be limiting myself to boozy unless I throw in a Purilem Sweet tobacco or something.

    Also good news, mixing MORE is low on my list, too. I just mixed. LOL.

    Have you tried the sesame dough?
    No and hadn’t planned on it until your comment about @DancingHeretik WF selections being good. Starting thinking perhaps I could use a bread type maybe, especially if it’s good. I’ll have to look it up first though.
    These are different and use WF sesame dough. Might be too sweet for some...
    (WF) Sesame Dough SC
    I chose the Sesame Dough in an attempt to find something similar to Sesame Sticks that I buy in the bulk section of the grocery store. I love those things.

    No recipe yet. But high hopes.

    That's 308mL for that $50.23, including S/H...so only $.16/mL for flavorings to make a ___load of eliquids.

    People who are hesitant about getting into DIY really need to see how cost efficient it actually is! Add approx. $.05 per mL for nic base (if $50/L), and at the most approx. $.005 per mL for the plain PG and the same for the plain VG = very inexpensive, custom-made, DIY eliquid!

    You can't beat that buying eliquid anywhere, AFAIK! :thumbs:

    I think I originally spent $220. If I could get just one ADV it would only take 10 weeks to pay off. I think I did. Although I needed another small order to get flavors to mix with what I got. I had my first order figured out with nicotine, VG and flavorings to make Xml of liquids. (Changing mg and bad flavors had that not work out as planned.)
    I average around $1/30ml vs <$20/30ml. Then a long time of ordering nothing has me so far ahead I've stopped counting my vaping costs vs smoking costs. If I want something now I just buy it.

    The problem I'm seeing with new DIY'ers now is thinking a recipe online means it will be good and not need any tweeking, so they take almost everything they have and make one huge first batch (>100ml). Of course it sucks and they're trying to save it so they're doubling and tripling that bad batch instead of trying to save a small portion of it to test. Pretty soon they end up with $20 or more worthy of dumping.

    Question. How long am I steeping this CCI? Been 15 days now.I think it's 30 days or longer?

    :shock: I'm a patient ager but wow!


    (missed the 4 ingredient part until now, oops)

    I can't be constrained like that. Plus I seem to either go 5 or 2 flavors.



    I need help with an experiment. I want to see the effect that Liquid Amber has on Plum. I have TFA and INW Plum. Which would you use and at what percentage and how much Liquid Amber?

    I'm going to start small on Liquid Amber when I try seeing what it pairs with. It's pretty strong as in distinct (but the normal FA trend of 3-5%).

    I thought I had some recipes figured out but if they made it to my fingers I forgot to mark them new. I planned on 2% to keep it from being in front.
    When I have mixed it I recall 4% being very in front of everything.
    Plum sounds like a good mix with it.

    Interested in how that works out.

    I just want to do a simple plum/liquid amber mix and then a plain plum mix. I know nothing about the Liquid Amber though.

    My only experience in a mix is 4% stood out enough that it got me using it as a stand alone. And that was against some strong flavors (at smaller percentages).
    Alone I use it at 5%.

    After another cup of coffee I think I'm going to try
    INW Plum 3%
    INW Smoked Plum 2%
    Liquid Amber 1%

    Then if I need to add more Amber to move it up I can.

    Hello DIYers! Hope y’all have a great day!
    Too hot n humid to do anything outside so I’m planning on making a lot of mix bases and a few juices that I can put away in the steep closet.
    Stay cool and enjoy a smooth vape :vapor:!

    I forgot to order Irish Cream!

    Well, I already have a cart started at ECX for INW Smoked Plum, FE Lemon and JF Dulce de Leche. I might as well throw in some Irish Cream, but which one: FW, FA, Cap?
    FA

    The Plum or the Amber?

    I had Pumpkin Spice in my cart but dumped it

    Now I wish I hadn't :(

    Couldn't even tell you what it tasted like
