from what others post that seems like very low percentages. Take a look a few posts up where someone posted some peanut butter recipes and check out the percentages there

thank you I have looked and it appears the percentages are quite a bit higher which I am okay with regarding taste BUT I am wondering about the wisdom of such high flavour concentrations - I prefer stronger flavour I guess I wonder if I can get the stronger flavour by letting things sit for awhile heavens knows I never spent much time getting bent out of shape when it came to tobacco but I knew loads of folks who rolled their own and lived to their 80 s my grandfather had a gizmo that rolled a long tube and then he would cut them with a razor blade it is all he ever smoked I am not sure tailor made were even available to him most of his smoking days
This was the first recipe I ever came up with, and it is still a ADV for me, I have never posted it here before.
KAS's Brown Car
4% TFA Caramel Original
3% TFA Caramel
1% TFA Caramel Candy
6% TFA Peanut Butter
3% TFA vanilla Swirl
1% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine
1% TFA Brown Sugar Extra
1% TFA sweetener

can you tell me what acetyl pyrazine is and what it does?This was the first recipe I ever came up with, and it is still a ADV for me, I have never posted it here before.

It is just a additive for nutty bread type flavors, I use it a lot in certain mix's but very low %, if you mix it too high it tastes like fritos, but I never do that, I have read that some people dilute it but I have never done that. I am sure some others can give you more input about it, but I really like it with Peanut butter and caramel.

High Flavor Mixes (HFM) will get you great tasting juice immediately to perhaps 24 hours. Low Flavor Mixes require steeping, often one or more weeks to find out if you have a good mix. I almost quit juice making waiting for a decent juice to arrive, before discovering HFM. This thread, at least for a year or more, has been often about HFM, of which I am a fan and a proponent. I have a number of blogs on the subject if you are interested.
That being said, vaping is an at your own risk kind of activity. If you are not comfortable with HFM, then, by all means, go low and slow. They both will get you to the same place, it's just much harder, and certainly much longer, to mix low. and slow compared with HFM. To each their own. Do what feels right for you. There's no right or wrong way. Good luck to you!
Sure. I like the reagent bottles for several reasons. First, they are wide mouthed enough to mix juice in (like a beaker). Second, they are wide mouthed and so they aerate better and faster than smaller mouthed bottles because of greater surface area. Third, well-made reagent bottles seal better than most other bottles. Finally, it's easier to stir the mix!
Now, I'm referring to larger batches of mixes. Just last night I made 300 mils of Jo's Peach Cobbler, and 500 mils of my Cinnamon Danish. I mixed, aerated, sealed and stored the juices in the single container. If I were to want to transfer them to another container, I would use either the reagent bottles of a beaker for the same reasons. Most of my juices will fully aerate in two hours or less. This is about three or four times faster than in a boston round bottle because of greater surface area. Now, I do move the stored juices to 30 mil plastic containers for daily use.
Bottom line: It's easier and more useful for me. No other containers to wash out, dry and put away. Efficient way to go, as far as I can tell. YMMV!
Actually, allowing our juices to breathe too much will have a dilution effect on the nicotine, and there is also a good chance of flavor loss. I typically use only 250 and 500 mil reagent bottles. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Not to mention the he reagent bottles look cool
.Been looking at glass bottles to store nic in. I just purchased 1liter from heartland Vg based and thinking pouring this into Boston round bottles for storage might be a pain in my ..... I am assuming a 240 ml glass bottle has the same size top as a 120 (reminds self to check that out
)Getting ready to make a bottle order. I wonder though if the seal is secure enough on the regnant bottles for freezer storage? They look like a plug type top. If nothing else I can get these for freezer storage. I am assuming storing nicotine in the plastic liter bottle it comes in is not the best practice.
Got some more tfa flavors today and trying to tweak one of my custards. I will have to post the recipe tomorrow. I want more richness to it and I am open for suggestions from you all. Going to let it sit for another week and hope the flavor will pop.

I wouldn't recommend raising the percentage of that capella vanilla custard v2 -- unless you like the taste of plastic, or something equally artificial. For a good custard flavor, try TFA Vanilla Swirl. Even better, mix some Vanilla Swirl with TFA DX Bavarian Cream, some Capella Sweet Cream, and some sweetener. Yum.

Been working on a fruit loops juice and need some suggestions. It is pretty good but is missing something, I like that bottom of the bowl taste with it.
I can't seem to open the zip files to get the fruit loop recipe so until I can I wanted to get some Input and ask someone to post it
Here is what I got. Also I labeled it fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA but in reality I was going for fruit loops. I accidentily did it on the first version so kept the name for consistency. That or my brain knew I secretly like fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA Either way, would love some input.
Oh and just a note....I tried dulce leche to give me that bottom of the bowl taste but even at a small percentage I got caramel and just did not taste right.

Berry Crunch 5%
Cotton Candy 4%
Sweetener 4%

Thank you, that looks just like the first recipe version I tried from a Fb group (below) but was titled fruit loops with the exception of me using dairy milk instead of dulce leche. I actually had a v1.5 where I used the dulce leche instead of dairy and it just did not taste right to me. Had more of a caramel undertone than milky sweet. Hmmm maybe I should revisit and reduce the dulce leche to 1 or 2
cotton candy 4
Fruit circles 8
Sweetner 4
Bavarian cream 3
Berry crunch 5
Dairy/milk 3
Vanilla swirl 3

As mentioned yesterday here is my first try at a custard mix. I will say that it is good but just not strong enough or rich enough for my liking. Maybe higher percentages, maybe more steep time, maybe different flavors etc....?
Vanilla custard V2 4%
fench vanilla deluxe 3%
Cheescake (graham cracker) 2%
Vanilla cupcake 2%
All TFA except the VC v2. Going to order the TFA version of that.
I am a custard junkie so I want to get this right
What percentage of overall flavorings were you using? And, please, what percentage of Dulce de Leche were you using? My cereals die without my Dulce de Leche.
Of course, taste is so specific and unique for each of us. Also, the bottom of the bowl sugary sweet milky flavoring is only one way to make a cereal....just my favorite way!
Good luck to you!

You may want to increase your percentages to 20% or higher. Unless you plan to steep the juice for days/weeks, you need more flavoring percentages. This could easily be why you don't taste a strong enough flavoring. In the case of the dulce, it could be why you feel it is overwhelming the mix. Dulce at 2% of a 20% mix does not overwhelm the mix for me. For a 10% mix, it most certainly would. Double up, maybe?
I will try a higher percentage on the custard mix and see what happens. I like as high Vg as I can get so was going lite but then it certainly sacrifices flavor. I have a bad reaction to PG at higher percentages but will be fine with anything less than 30% or so.
For the fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA I was using the same percent of the dairy milk, only I replaced it. So 3% Maybe I will try 2 and see what happens. that one is more than a 20% flavor mix. Could just be the flavor and my taste buds don't mix as well. Also could be it will take a few days for it to subside a tad.

Yes, I think you may have too high a percentage on the dulce. It's strong stuff, but delicious when it's dialed in right. My cereals MUST have my dulce de leche. These stronger flavorings can cross the line and dominate, killing the nuanced flavorings of something like a Fruit Loops, where you're trying to nuance three, four, or even five different flavorings. It's hard to do, but it can be done. I won't bore you with my version, which uses neither fruity circles, nor crunch berry. Good luck!
Edit: That wasn't up there when I posted this.
Happy belated Mother's day! And good morning
Sgt. Rock, we did stop at Dietrich's, slammed those 2 #'s mild beef sticks in 3 days
My mom asked for vanilla recipe, this recipe is not final it's a trial
6% French vanilla cream
5% vanilla swirl
2% bavarian cream
1% sweetener
I wanted to mix fruits this am, but when asked, well it is mom, so....I would have liked maybe some white chocolate in there, but I'm out... She wanted a plain, simple vanilla, fingers crossed...hope it comes out good for her, she's branching out a bit more from lime vapes at least. I hope to be mixing fruit recipes soon, later today or in next 2 at least.
Nice to see nic-holio drop by briefly, miss that enthusiasm, and capt hook, I like strawberry ripe too, your recipe looks good, I'll have to try out soon, thanks for sharing here.

Bill, I'm a little confused about the aeration/breathing thing. If I shake up a bottle then the bubbles will dissipate overnight with or without the top off. It's not like Injecting CO2 under pressure into soda. I always thought the reason for "breathing" is to let volatiles like alcohol bases from the flavorings to dissipate, in an effort to get rid of various chemical notes and smells.
It's sort of a moot point, at least for me, since I let my juices breathe for at least a few hours, and usually overnight (in a narrow mouth boston round of various sizes). But I don't always do the breathing right away so in many cases the bubbles are gone by the time I do that (in the case where I might not breathe for a few hours).
One more contrarian thought... in terms of breathing it seems to me that the rate of evaporation of the volatiles would be based on liquid surface area (container diameter squared) , not the bottle neck area. As an example, if you put carbonated soda in a boston round and shook it with the cap on, then released the cap, and did the same with a reagent bottle I don't think you would see an appreciable difference in the rate of bobbling. As long as the neck is wide enough to allow any excess gas pressure to release, and a boston round is far more than plenty for that.
That could be easily tested by placing an equal volume of isopropyl (cheap) alcohol in equal volume containers, and leaving it for a week (or however long it takes for appreciable evaporation to occur). Then measuring the remaining volume.
