LOL I am there too with my own Game of Thrones Vape Line - totally unofficially of course and for personal use.

It all started way back when I found I recipe online which was called Claim Your Throne Clone. I never tasted the actual Claim Your Throne juice if it actually exists. I've perhaps bought 8 to 10 premade juices since I've been vaping.

Anyway I mixed up this Claim Your Throne recipe and I liked it. So from there I went on to think of some of the characters and their personalities or preferences. First came Jon Snow, then Daenyris, Aria and Tyrion and finally Sansa. A couple of the recipes are purely mine. The others are adaptations of some of Bill's Magic Vapor or other people's recipes. The main tones of these , amongst several other supporting flavours , are:

Claim your Throne - Butterscotch
Daenyris , the Mother of Dragons - Dragonfruit
Jon Snow, frozen sweetness - Mint Toffee
Aria, mischievous and fresh - Banana, rum and Koolada
Tyrion - naughty but kind - Absinthe, licorice and raspberry
Sansa - naturally, Lemon Cake.


All the juices are quite complex.

I even created Labels for them for a laugh :) I couldn't use it of course for copyright reasons.

I know exactly what you mean! I have 4 that are complete and 2 more that are in the tweaking stage.
20150612_071143_edit_1434107608783.jpg

from left to right:
Moo-Moo Milk - Awesome strawberry custard! Took a while to tweak.
Fallout - Absinthe (about as close to Pluid as anyone's going to get!) Took FOREVER!!
Punch Out - Dragon fruit custard with a sour zing! Mmmmm!
Yabva Dabba Do - A Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA type. Really good

I'm trying to get a line of 6. Not to sell or anything, I'm not interested in that just for fun. I'm having the hardest time trying to come up with a tobacco liquid, and I want one more bakery.

So much fun!

I am no where near where you guys are. I've gotten into this pattern of mixing something and I think "this is the shizzle," then a few months later with the same recipe I think "I liked this?" Still pretty much a novice at it when it comes to blending flavors to make a masterpiece.

Do you want to post your recipes? I promise not to steal them lol.

lol it's taken me a nearly a year to get to the point where I can comfortably create my own recipes. I'm still learning new things every day about flavors and how the change over time.

I've posted a few of my recipes over in the recipes forum. ;)

ckquatt, willing to post that strawberry custard recipe?! ;) Have you already?

It's a play on Friscoweather's Moo Milk recipe. I took a couple of ingredients out (I HATE cheesecake flavoring!! It makes everything taste like salty cheese!) and changed the percentages around.

It was bad to me with the cheesecake in it, so I removed it. I also used Graham Cracker Dark and regular French Vanilla. All are TFA except for Vanilla Custard and Bavarian Cream (Capella). I want to say I also adjusted the percentages on the Ice Cream, and Custard to take the place of the missing percent of Cheesecake, but I can't remember. My tablet, were I keep my recipe app, is at home. When I get home, I'll check it and see.

It turned out REALLY good!

Let me know when you try the Strawberry Custard I posted. Its more of a strawberry milkshake. Its quickly turning into another ADV for me!

BTW, the other %'s were right. Just took the cheesecake out.

I'm a purist - one flavour, two at most.

Think it's easy ?
It's not.

Waded through a dozen different suppliers just to find the right watermelon flavour cuz every supplier has his/her own idea of how watermelon s'pposed to taste. Had anything from ho-hum down to sewage line.

As Oscar Wilde once said : I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

I'm going to! Ive been slaving over a Vanilla Custard the past week trying to get it right. Once I nail it down I'm going to give it a try!

Dude, please share that when you're done. Lol I have basically given up on making a VC that I like. I don't understand what some of these commercial juices are doing differently. The only commercial juice I still rely on is Renegade by CJMR.

Why are your juices so dark? How much flavoring are you using?

They have been aging "steeping" for well over a month. They were almost clear when I mixed them. Just normal juice darkening.

It has nothing to do with my flavoring percentages.

Also I see you are using higher nic, which might contribute to that I suppose. I only vape 3mg, so my juices always seem to stay relatively clear.

Seriously man. I truly believe a good vanilla custard juice, beyond just 20% Capella's, is one of the hardest juices to create. So I'll be excited to see what you create!

I only have 2 recipes that I actually created, my strawberry & cream (which is ever so slightly custardy, but doesn't really qualify as strawberry custard), and another called "Smocha," which started its life as an attempt to clone Pipe Sauce's Long Bottom Leaf; it does have some of the same flavors as LBL, but I dunno if it ever quite got there; I finally stopped worrying about it and just enjoyed it for what it is -- smoky and sweet cafe mocha; tobacco, TA, coffee, cream, chocolate, vanilla, malted milk, and sweetener.

Another couple of recipes, both using cherry flavors, are currently in the testing-steeping stage, a sweet cherry pipe tobacco (which currently smells more like dessert than tobacco! :lol:), and a cherry soda/Code Red flavor; testing to see if the TFA Cherry Extract or Lorann Cherry gives me more of the cherry taste I want.

Good stuff, curious, I've been looking for a good sour additive, what do you use in Punch Out?
