The "Concentate Combinations to Avoid " thread.

[boomerdude]

You know, someone suggested a recipe ( I think it was Hoosier.) with Hickory Smoke and Toasted Almond. I was skeptical but gave it a go. To my surprise it worked. Not an ADV but good. Just goes to show......you never know. Now where'd I put that crab juice & amaretto?

 

[luvinit]

I just got all my stuff today to start this DIY thing... (hi boomer!!!) I'm glad I found this thread!!! I have to say though, some of those combos.. I would NEVER think to mix together!!! I've got 7 or 8 flavors and another shipment from Flavor West coming tomorrow.. I'm all set to start, except I have to go to work I'm pretty sure tomorrow morning is going to be the day I get my own "toxic waste" mixed up.. I'll be sure to come back and let you know if I've had to make the crab juice face

 

[boomerdude]

Hey luv, let us know how you make out. There's nothing better than vaping your first successful recipe. So what are you going to try first? Tobacco, nutty, sweet or all of them together?

 

[luvinit]

Well, fruits seem to be my favorite. But I got some peanut butter, toffee, and chocolate. I want to try to get something out of those. Going to do a peach, pomegranate lemonade, key lime pie.... mmmmmmmmm! I hope to maybe mix a little something up tonight when I get home from work... I can hardly wait!!

Holy Moly! Cpt. Black & Cherry Blossom is bad enough, but when you add Mango & Menthol......well.....sorry you had to move so quickly. Hope the new place is nice.

LOL. No.. I didn't intend to mix them. I was dumping individual/failed mixes out.... and the smell mixed together in the garbage. LoL

I thought it was a good idea for a thread, but I quickly forget the combos that made horrible combos and I've had quite a bit to forget.

I haven't been able to find anything I can use TPA's Kona with because it just makes anything horrible. (Does that help?)

I bought some of Kona...hoping to make a good beverage vape. I think I'll try it by itself first. Now I'm wondering about it....

 

[Tish Talons]

coffee vapes are sooo hard to get right. Most vendors can't even do it. and I've tried a lot of coffee vapes. very few of them were even passable. mediocre at best, with the occasional one being delicious and worth vaping. I think I'll wait a while before I try making any coffee flavors.

 

[Constance Shutts]

I jumped right into this DIY thing with..yeah..Kona. Cause I happen to like Kona Cream. So I could find something to do with that Kona of Hoosiers As the week goes on I may have a disaster to post here....bound to mix up something even menthol can't kill.

 

[luvinit]

Did my first mix this morning... (I posted a thread with a question). It isn't bad.. definitely vapable, but a little weak on flavor. And it seemed to me that I put a LOT of flavoring in there. I mixed peanut butter, toffee, sweet cream and chocolate. Double the chocolate, compared to the others. I'm getting some sweetener in the mail today and I'm hoping a few drops of that might help a bit. If you can find the question I posted, you'll see exactly what I mixed.. come back and tell me what I did wrong!!

 

[boomerdude]

Well since it's not a tobacco mix you could have used 20% overall flavoring. Don't expect to taste the chocolate until it has steeped 10 days. Looks tasty. Should be good.

 

[luvinit]

10 DAYS???? Now, that truly sucks! It actually was decent right after I mixed it. If I can stand to wait that long, it should be fabulous!!

Vape some, steep some. See the difference in taste, make NOTES.

Oh man. I'm gonna need a bigger notebook

Boomer... I had a bit of success this morning.. I made a nice pomegranate!! I did 10mls at 10% flavor, which called for 1ml of flavor. It was pretty darn good! But even better with three extra drops of flavor. Totally vapable right now but going to let it sit for a week and see what happens to it. And yes, NOTES!!!

 

[boomerdude]

Betcha in a week you'll spit it out. Vape it now while it taste good!

Also, someone, can't remember who, suggested a Boba's clone recipe made with Dark Vapure. I only made a 3ml while mixing my goto Boba's. Let it steep 4 weeks. Gah! Taste like Precious Ghandan incense. Glad I only mixed 3mls.

Also II, A little tip for you young whippersnappers' - don't get old. Making coils is a ..... when your hands shake all the time.

I don't like flavorart tobaccos. My local b&m uses FA and I don't like any of their tobacco vapes. I've tried quite a few from them and they all have a weird taste to me. I don't like dark vapure at all, and I can't imagine making a boba's clone that tasted anything like boba's using a tobacco flavor from FA. I can imagine how gross that was.

 

[luvinit]

I can see that replicating my favorite vendor flavors is not going to be as easy as I thought! First off, the peach I got from Flavor West is not the peach I want. Wish I hadn't bought such a big bottle, but I'll use it in some kind of mixture. Somewhere out there is the peach flavor I'm looking for.. I'll have to get small quantities of all that I can find and hope one of them is IT. On a good note, I've used some of the flavors I got to "beef up" some of the vendor stuff I've had hanging around. I've got enough stuff to keep me in juice for about a year! I mixed up some peanut butter cup this morning.. it's steeping and I won't go back to it for at least a week. This is pretty fun stuff!

 

[boomerdude]

For other than tobacco flavors I would try, in order :

Flavor Art
Loran
Flavor West
The Flavor Apprentice

Hangsen Super Concentrates for tobacco flavors.

That said, I get some really good mixes from TFA. A couple are ADV's tobacco.

Almost forgot, Peach, Brown Sugar and Sassafras. Mmmm Mmmm good.

 

[luvinit]

Sassafras? Interesting! I can see my little box of flavorings is far from complete. I feel another order coming on.

Don't forget the molasses.
