She shoots! She scores!

I received my packages from Xtreme vaping and Perfumer's Apprentice today, so I sat down tonight to play and made some 3ml batches.

I can't believe I was worried about being able to do this. TH wasn't that great, but it's not that great with most of the liquid that I've purchased, either. OTOH, this is about the best flavor and vapor I've gotten so far. [I can't find a smilie for it, so insert Snoopy dance here.] I made a bananas foster in both 18mg and 0 nic, an 18mg chocolate, and a 0 nic cinnamonny flavor. I'm not sure how the chocolate came out because even after blowing out my atty, I could still taste banana. I'll grab a different atty and try it tomorrow. Tonight, I'm enjoying the bananas foster too much to bother.

My percentage of flavors was a little high because I got all scientific and decided to eyeball it in the bottle. When I *thought* it was about a quarter of the way full, I added 1.5ml of 36mg PG nic and .5ml of glycerin. That filled the bottle, so apparently, my juice is 33% flavoring. Not sure whether or not I'll bother to get that down to 20-25% the next time I make this up.

vaping rocks with good juice.

BTW, does anyone have an opinion on the best milk chocolate flavoring, in case mine doesn't work?

if you want more th just put in a few drops of alcohol..
i just eyeball all mine too.. only problem with it is.. that if you make a real good batch its harder to remake it.

i have not tried to make a plain chocolate.. i use the chocolate to mix with other flavors

 

[Guineahill]

I haven't found a good Milk Chocolate flavoring yet.

 

[~Jo~]

I counted drops of flavoring while I was adding them and wrote the amounts down. I've learned that lesson too many times. I was eyeballing what percentage of the bottle the flavoring filled. Thanks for the alcohol tip. I'll try that next time.

*sigh* I'm afraid I'll end up trying every chocolate flavoring out there until I get a really good chocolate flavor to vape all day.

Everclear ... the magic ingredient!

 

[stroh22]

Jo, when you do find that perfect milk chocolate flavor, pm me and let me know where you got it. I'm still trying to find one myself.

 

[Lab]

i think to get close to a milk chocolate.. i would try a chocolate base and add a bit of marshmallow.. that should give it the sweeter taste and tone down the chocolate some

i use lorann's chocolate to add to mint and fruit flavors and it comes out good..

Everclear ... the magic ingredient!

I was just wondering, can you add a drop or two of this to juices that you bought pre-made?

Yes you can. Be careful as it will thin them out quickly.

I just started DIY, and finally got a bottle of Everclear last week ... provides just the right TH for me and thinned the juice perfectly. And it didn't take much!!

Sure you can, I have used a good quality tequilla also on premade juice.

 

[thelook]

Ohhh! thank you, I will have to try this!
I actually have everclear on hand, I use it to make Homemade apple pie (the drink)

I usually order all PG juice, so do you think maybe 1 drop per 10 ml?

hummmm, might have to try the tequila too!

Stroh, since you're in IL too, when/if I find it, you'll probably hear me singing the recipe from my rooftop. I tried some of the V4L premium cartos in milk chocolate, and I like the flavor, but they seem a little harsh on my throat sometimes and I don't get enough vapor. Not to mention that they're not selling the liquid yet anyway. But it was good enough to make the search for the perfect chocolate my personal Holy Grail. If I manage to come up with a good one, I'll be sure to let y'all know on here.

Thanks, Lab. I'll see if I can pick up some marshmallow flavoring locally or with one of my next orders.

If I don't avoid the flavoring sites, it's going to be hard to convince my husband that I'm saving money by doing this myself.

 

[Lab]

i use about 5 drops everclear for 10 ml..

tequila would work but you would pick up some flavor from it.. might be alright in trying to make some drink flavored juice..

yeah shipping is what kills you.. i have not used it as far as liquids go.. but as far as real cooking goes if you have a bitter chocolate marshmallows work to level it out to taste better..

Did you get the nicotine from Xtreme Vaping? I've noticed that their bottles are about half the price of nicotine from myfreedomsmokes. Wonder if there is any difference and if there are other places to get nicotine from?

Yep, and some PG. His prices are so low that I would have been scared to order from him if it hadn't been for all the excellent reviews here. This is the first time I've ordered anything like that, so I don't have anything to compare, but I can say I'm a satisfied customer.

It seems like just about everywhere I've seen juice for sell, I've seen an option to buy DIY liquid, but most times, the price was so high that I didn't see the point.

 

[sandyk]

Jo, what is your recipe for the Bananas Foster?

 

[~Jo~]

Jo, what is your recipe for the Bananas Foster?

Just keep in mind that I'm not saying this is perfect. I just kind of played it by nose, and compared it to some bananas foster eliquid that I have and unfortunately can't use. I also haven't tried it after it's sat at least 24 hours, either, since I tried to dilute the flavor this morning and mucked it up.

All flavorings are Perfumer's Apprentice.

6 parts banana cream
5 parts bavarian cream
3 parts caramel
2 parts rum
2 parts cinnamon

I think it needs slightly less cinnamon, and slightly more caramel and banana. So next time, I'll adjust each of those by one part. (Well, either that, or I grabbed that cinnamon atty again. I'll try this in a fresh atty before I change it.) And if anyone plays with this and makes it better, let me know, please!

BTW, Sandy, love your sig.

We can't buy Everclear here in Calif so will regular Smirnoff work?

I've been on the proverbial search for the perfect milk chocolate, too. I'll have to try it with marshmallow. Capella's definitely isn't it!

yes any high proof vodka will work too.. you can even use that dark eyes crap but atleast you can drink the smirnoff that is left over

 

[MaxUT]

Jo, I see that you use PA flavors so I assume you've tried their Milk Chocolate. Is that right?

Perfumers Apprentice - Chocolate Flavor

If you have, could you describe it in comparison to others such as Capella?

Thanks!
