The peanut butter with RY4 has become an adv for me. I tweaked it a little:
7% peanut butter
6% ry4
2% cotton candy

I mixed up a 100dt of the peanut brittle about an hour or so ago and just loaded it into a clearo for sampling. It's really good. I was going to try the other recipe but am missing one ingredient. I thought I had every vanilla flavor but found that I don't have vanilla custard. One more to add to my next order.
One good thing about that peanut brittle recipe,if you like it when you mix it,you will like it a month down the road.This is one of the only juices i have ever had that does not change over time.I have been working through a 120ml over the last month or so,and it still tastes exactly like the day it was made.
That's good news. I'm going to work thru this first sample and then make a 30ml bottle for starters. I'm not a heavy user so 30ml of any one flavor lasts a while. Especially since I keep at least four flavors going at a time.
That's the same as i do,especially since alot of flavors change over time.Like you,i usually have 3 or 4 juices that i rotate through,so i alway make smaller batches first to make sure i will still like them after they have had time to steep.I went through 4 30ml bottles of the peanut brittle before i commited to making the 120ml,but through all of them,never had any change at all.
I've been stuck on Bill's lemon meringue pie for over a month now. I made some of the lite strawberry Cheesecake too but it seemed like the strawberry faded some after a few days.
Jackfruit. I have been vaping this standalone at 15% for the last several days and am quite impressed with the flavor.
Jackfruit descriptions from the web - I have never eaten the fruit:
1. tastes like a cross between a banana and a pineapple and is quite sweet
2. similar to a mango and includes notes of peach and pear
3. somewhere between a pineapple and a banana, with hints of mango.
To me it is somewhat of a cross between pineapple and sweet mango but not distinctly either. I don't taste any banana notes.
I have never found a pineapple or mango flavor that I liked - or banana. I never liked any pre-mixed or diy liquid that had any of those flavors in it.
I am now going to try some of the recipes like the beetlejuice clone with jackfruit instead of pineapple and mango and see how I like it.
Anyone else tried this flavor?

I haven't tried it,but i also never knew what it was haha.Now that you provided a description,it sounds like something i may like,so next flavor order i make,i'll add some on and give it a shot.
I make a pineapple at 14% with 4% each of French vanilla, vanilla cupcake, and vanilla bean ice cream. I like it pretty well.
Yep ordered 2 bottles with first flavor order, I get a pear-pineapple-slight juicy fruit gum taste from it.....it is a nice fruit flavor, pretty versatile. I like with some cream and coconut personally. I don't get banana either but it might mix well with dx banana cream, watermelon(I'm currently on a tfa watermelon kick lately...juicy, sort of bubbaliscious watermelon gum with a mild rind taste...I Like it a lot! Perfect for summer) So do share, I like jackfruit too
one of my first posts here was jackfruit mix actually.Been mixing for others which is challenging since tastebuds are unique, getting close on mom's coconut, one more rendition might result in a share here....I am thinking adding some coconut candy next in version 4 to give that nice toasted coconut taste...using Graham clear and toasted marshmallow with bavarian cream in a lot of mixes lately(my bottle must be bottomless, I want to switch to dx but still finishing regular after all this time!)
Got my Greek yogurt, will start trials soon, again on watermelon kick currently...think tfa has best watermelon for my tastes so far, actually I prefer over caps sweet version...I do want to make some lassi mixes with the yogurt...love ahlusions papaya lassi...Yum! Thinking of bases, yogurt and vanilla swirl or horchata smooth or bavarian cream???
on the edge of my seat for this. Love Papaya Lassi too and all new yogurt vapes that are popping up
Quick question guys..I am adding 0.5% of coconut extra to an already steeped juice ..can anybody tell me how long should I let it steep again (it has RY4 in it BTW, the rest is caramel, and a bunch of creams and vanilla).
If I can even get somewhat close....I'll be happy, ahlusion makes amazing juices!!! The base will be the challenge for me at least.....need to get started soon...
If you share them I will be extremely happy! I feel my bases may be off because of the three I have made I taste that TASTE that I detest in some other vendors juices (not Ahl) in the Gourmet thread we refer to it as BUT (bad unidentified taste) and I taste in in a few popular vendors juices and I taste it in mine. Maybe a waxy, plasticky taste. Makes me feel like I am not up to this DIY.
I don't know if anyone else has tried Tribulation from Agnostic Brews but I liked it but it only comes in 3or 6mg so I'm doing a trial mix to see what I can come up with. The description says honeydew, peach, and strawberry. I started with those three and some vanillin. Just not sure on percentage. The most up front flavor to me is honeydew.
Hmmmmm, 0.5% doesn't seem like a whole lot to change the juice. I'm just now getting into tobacco juices, and with my existing stash, it's easy for stuff to sit for days/weeks before I get back to a flavor. I'd say give it a day or two - coconut (extra) can have a "chemical/perfumey" taste to me right away.
Morning! Ok here's the coconut recipe I made for my mom, she doesn't want any toasted coconut notes, apparently she hates toasted coconut due to marshmallows my gram used to buy her as a child(???!!!!), another funny thing about unique tastes, mom's and mine are almost oppositional lol...I have not tasted since mixed hers at 16 nic, I vape 3
I need to come up with better name but it's "coconut 3" in my notes, might name "dynamo' s creamy coconut"
Coconut 5% (if you sub extra, cut down %)
Bavarian cream 3%
Caramel candy 3%
Graham cracker clear 2%
Marshmallow 1%
Toasted marshmallow 1%
Sweetener 1%
Adjust as needed to your tastes, preferences,...Yes this contains diketones, I plan on reworking a "free" or "lowered" version eventually. Cured for less than 24 hours and she likes it so far, my first 2 versions were weak according to her feedback...I would have added 1-2% coconut candy, but she doesn't want it, so....like I mentioned, mixing for others not just myself has proven to be more complicated at times...pulling teeth to get feedback too
Chanel, I think I'll start later today or tomorrow mixing small base trials to get started..have many ideas, been doing research on %'s and seems many use/blend with bavarian cream...curious how this will go, might be challenging...my pumpkin roll never really blossomed and has long been not revisited due to sheer frustration in taste issues, maybe in fall, not now. You tasting "b.u.t." might be beneficial in your mixing, just gotta nail down what flavor causes it...fails/mistakes help too, remember that when you feel like failing/struggling with diy, use these fails to find and fix what is causing the yuck tastes...eliminate it or adjust or try another to say good riddance to "b.u.t."( heard you all mention before, yes I read gourmet thread and ahl thread to keep tabs on new stuff and sales)....Lol, I get "b.u.t." from cap vC2, used to call it "cheap Chinese dog toy plastic", "b.u.t." is much easier

actually at 0.5% it tastes like shampoo to me even after letting it steep in the UC for 4 hours and then taking the cap off and letting it sit for a day...I am now experimenting with 0.25% ..will report back
Hopefully the reduction in % will help and cure time....but I have heard some DO get shampoo or suntan lotion taste notes from coconut extra, so you are not alone...as with many flavors, ymmv and another brand or maybe regular coconut or coconut candy may fit your tastes better....coconut is almost a difficult flavor, imo....good thing for multiple versions and brands here to try and mix....I started with extra and went to regular, I like the candy too...that's just me though....have capellas and maybe some flavour art in my box too.....and have fw creamy coconut on my wish list... I am not done trying out coconuts.
