Random DIY mixing and More

[stols001]

These were the other flavors:

Choco-Yum Cake blend 5% ( I added dbl chocolate clear FA (2) and CAP butter crème (1.5%) I like it, it's chocolatey and sort of cakey at the same time. The butter cream I like for something richer. It's sweet but you could certainly play with the percentages.

2. Carmel Butter-- It tastes like kind of rich and meaty. I think I added a bit of mouthfeel type stuff IIRC. I was sort of thinking it faded out but I was taking a break from it, and it looked like my wick was probably the issue. I like it, but in small amounts I probably mixed too much of it. It's just like, rich,I guess. IDK what might go well with it.

Pink Lemonade-- Only mixed a small tester so far,. I have a mix with it steeping but IDK. Me and citruses. It's not terrible tasting but any citrus I sort of have an issue with.

I'd say I like the choco yum cake the most, the Caramel butter I have to figure out what to do with, you might actually like their pink lemonade a fair bit.

I finally tried the mix I made from HIC's Vanilla Chai Latte recipe and it is surprisingly good.

1% - 2% FA Black Tea (from barely there to definite tea)
1% FA Vienna Cream
0.5% FA Vanilla Tahiti (other FA vanillas will also work)
0.5% FA Cardamom
0.5% FA Cinnamon
0.5% FA Anise
0.5% FA Clove
** 0.15% FA Honey - measure carefully, but definitely include it! **

Per HIC's suggestion, I added .5% FA Black Pepper. He also suggests adding NF Ginger at .25%. I decided to use my VTA Ginger Root at .5%. I used 2% FA Black Tea.

It is perfectly spiced and not sweet. I fully expected this to need a lot of work to suit me, so am pleasantly surprised. I will compare it to the VTA Chai Masala when I mix up a sft. Apparently, it is spice only and no tea so maybe I will mix up something similar to HIC's recipe using the Chai Masala for the spices if the sft tastes spice only to me.

Thanks! I've had this on my to be mixed list for a long time. It just moved up the list for when I can get back to mixing. An easy way to tell I wanted to make it -- I have all the flavors. LOL.

Yes, that definitely changes everything. I figure that people who don't have the ingredients probably won't buy them just to try this recipe. I love Chai Masala tea and have known for a long time I wanted to take a stab at it, so I bought the ingredients I didn't need for anything else along the way. I do highly recommend the addition of the FA Black Pepper and the VTA Ginger Root. In my book, it isn't Chai without black pepper and ginger. The VTA Ginger Root is impressive!

DIY Flavor Shack doesn't carry those 2. OSDIY does, so maybe that's where you got them. The Choco-Yum Cake is a proprietary blend of OSDIY and Pink Lemonade is one of their proprietary One Stop Flavors. Only OSDIY and a couple vendors they sell them to for resale overseas (1 being CF) are allowed to sell it. Several vendors may have a version of their own Pink Lemonade, but I bet since you have the Choco-Yum Cake, it's OSDIY's PL, too.

Does anyone order from DIY Flavor Shack? I won a gift certificate and holy vanilla is the only flavor I've heard much buzz about. Going to check out ELR and reddit for info too. Curious about their jasmine tea.

I found this thread with quite a few flavor reviews. Maybe it will help you decide how to spend that $25.

Of course, instead of .............. it is . e-liquid-recipes . com but without those annoying spaces. I really, really, really hate having to type in not so secret code.

Thanks @JCinFLA that's really odd, they were labeled that way, but perhaps I they have the manufacturer's name on there in small letters. I will have to check. Sorry, @Letita

So glad you posted this, thought I was missing a page somewhere on the sight.

I tried 2 different boozy tobaccos today and while both were good I just wasn't in the mood for baccy.Solved that by taking my tank of cheesecake back

I finally got around to trying the vt lemonade clear. It’s got a more pronounced lemon taste than my usual lemonade. I dumped the white chocolate and smoked butterscotch cheesecake. It was just too much flavoring and too sweet.

I mixed 240ml of Meg's favorites today and 2 new orange mixes + another mandarin cream version for me. Paired blood orange a passion fruit, also an orange lemonade. Desserts are up tomorrow, all new mixes. I also have to mix some more tangerine pineapple. Went through that faster than expected, 60ml this time. Think I'm falling in love with WF tahitian vanilla cream.

I'm having a bit of a love affair with WF TVC too

Thought hmmm until it hit 2 weeks. Now it's added to half my recipes. Perfect for fruit creams, haven’t tried in a dessert or nut yet. Wondering how it does with a cookie, like a glazed icing with ooo powdered sugar.

What tangerine are you using? The pineapple mixed with it sounds like it has a big bite to it....

HS pineapple 1.13
SC(BCF) pineapple 1.81
Cap sweet tangerine 2.26
WF(SC) tangerine 1.81
Okay in a few days, better at 2 weeks.

What is your usual lemonade? I LOVE the VTA Clear!!!! I usually use LA so I made a new SFT of the LA to compare with the VTA Clear and the VTA Clear wins by a mile to me. It is brighter, more tart, and very fresh tasting to me.

Oh thank you.....are these % or mls.

 

[Letitia]

Oh thank you.....are these % or mls.

Apologies. Always %. Numbers are odd because original was 7.75% flavoring and a touch too strong as it aged. Let the calculator reduce the % for me. Pretty happy with these numbers. Pineapple may be more forward than some would like, after the 2nd week the tangerine catches up.
