Are there any simple shake n vape recipes out there? Preferably with 1-3 ingredients. I have a bunch of flavours such as: strawberry cream, bavarian cream, sweet cream, french vanilla, cheesecake, cotton candy, cinnamon roll, fuji apple, custard, vanilla custard, sweetener.

Just looking for something simple that i can vape now.

Thanks

You could probably mix up some fuji apple with a bit of cinnamon roll. Most of that other stuff might take a few days.

Thats one of the juices I had attempted previously, it was muffin man with cinnamon roll, fuji apple and marshmallow. I think I added too much flavouring since it didn't really taste like anything when i tried vaping it.

Well hey! I do that! I mix my 3 ingredient juice which is my ADV in 100ml batches and just start vaping it. I don't shake it, but I do put the old turbo-stir on it, then decant it into 100 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, 6 of them, and I'm not waiting for it to steep, I just start hitting it. I'm happy with that :D

I wonder why mine turned out crappy. It was my first attempt at Diy.

Oh sweetie, you are going to make some crappy juice at first, everyone does, so just accept that and keep at it. Do not give up. I won't tell you how bad my first batch was, but I kept at it and came up with a juice better than what I had been paying $80 a week for. I've not vaped anything but my own juice since. Just keep at it and you will arrive. Mix the flavors that seem good to you and work from there.

Ill give it a shot. I've seen some interesting recipes online for creamy vapes which is what I prefer. I was trying to clone muffin man and Congo custard but they both taste like nothing. I think I'll try making a strawberry custard this time.

You probably don't want to hear this but... you really need to start by taste testing the individual flavors you have and finding what percentages you like them at. This will also give you a pretty good idea of what each flavor's "profile" is like.

@Bill's Magic Vapor has a good work sheet here that uses straight flavoring and PG (no nicotine solution and no VG) and will take you from 5% to just under 25% (if necessary) in no more than 9 steps.

I tend to like my flavors a little lower so I adapted his method to this chart which runs from 1% to just over 9% (if necessary) by using a small amount of pre-diluted amount of flavoring.

Either way, the method is the same; add drops (ALWAYS from the same/same sized dropper/needle) as indicated by the charts to a container, mix, apply the indicated number of drops (3)(again from the same/same sized dropper/needle) to the atomizer of your choice and taste/vape, note what it tastes like, add the next number of drops to the remaining mix as directed and repeat. Continue until either the flavor begins to diminish or funky notes start to come out (chemically or the like). Then STOP.

The last mix BEFORE the flavor started to go "off" or diminish will give you a pretty good idea of where you want to start with a flavor. IT IS NOT PERFECT. It will vary a bit with the addition of nic and VG and more accurate measuring techniques. But it WILL give you a good idea of where to start.

I know it sounds complicated but it really does go pretty quickly. I can generally "tune in" an new flavor in less than 5 minutes.

It does NOT take into account what aging/steeping might do; but it will give you a good idea of what a shake and vape will be like.

AS others have already said; making good juice takes practice, and most (if not all) will make some pretty bad attempts to begin with, UNTIL they understand the specific flavors they are working with (and how they taste to YOU). Until then, recipes are at best suggestions.

Also, just because the flavor name is the same (between vendors), does not mean the taste is the same! A Capella Vanilla Custard is not the same as a TFA Vanilla Custard, or a Flavour Arts Vanilla Custard. And none of it will taste the same to you as it does to me. BUT if you include a manufacturer name of the flavors you are working with/asking about it might help us point you in the right direction.

Just my two cents worth (and you probably owe me a penny).

I hope you find what works for you! :toast:

I find I can shake and vape single fruit flavors. My fav if I'm in a hurry is TFA Strawberry Ripe. It's good on it's own--great if you mix it with other stuff. Go light on the flavor at first until you figure out the right level for you. You can always add more flavor if you need to.

IDJoel's advice is great! Everyone likes their juice a bit different, and it takes time to figure out.

Another tip: To make fruit flavors pop, add just a drop of lemon juice (from the grocery store).

Keep at it, you will be a pro in no time at all!

I haven't been able to do a successful shake and vape yet, though working on it. I do best if I'm following a recipe. I have a couple clones steeping that smell just like the premium stuff :banana:, and a couple that I threw together with a couple flavors that really don't smell like anything :(. Most of the stuff I like include some type of creaminess that always seem to need steeping. My first mistake in trying DIY months ago was adding to much flavoring and they weren't named brand. This time I got the good stuff and taking my time using much less flavoring to start.

I don't know if this is true for everyone, but I think as a beginner, every "clone" juice I tried to make turned out the worst.

Conversely, just putting together flavors that I liked, and seemed like they would work well together, yielded my best ADVs.

I like coffees and minty vapes, and have made some really good ones. Banana cream and banana nut bread ones are very easy too.

I too like simple recipes,, (and stronger flavors). my diy has been very hit & miss,, mostly because I was reading the names of the flavors but not tasting the name all of the time. (FA Raspberry refuses to be my friend). that said,,,I keep ordering flavors and am finally finding stuff I do like. instead of being 'brand loyal' to FA,, I decided to try out other brands. and have found I reallllllllly like Inawera Lemon Cake (it tastes like those little lemon cookies)........which lead me to start buying bakery flavors......FA cookie, Cappella Sugar cookie. ---I think many flavors will go nicely with the Sugar Cookie,, it has a buttery and sugary flavor with a touch of vanilla. I mixed some with FA Lemon Sicily and FA Custard.......very nice (3/1/1%) may need a bit more LS,, but overall its nice. to make it more bold I am thinking 5% SC. and maybe toss the custard and use meringue instead. point is,, I don't think I will be disappointed with any of the combo's listed.. the base is very good.

good luck on your journey,, I made around 30,000 left turns to make a right turn :)
