Sup everyone,
If your reading this post and are a hardcore DIY'er who knows there stuff, I could really use your help.

But before I go any further let me just mention I am familiar with DIY, safty, and all that jazz problem is I really, really , really suck at flavor combos. I mean horrible enough that I tried a year ago and scared myself so bad I haven't touched it since LOL!

Anywho this is where you come in if you so choose to help :)
I need 2 or 3 top notch juice recipes that I can make to keep me forever out of the "out of juice and money" cycle I'm always in :(

My preference for recipes are:
-A papa smurf clone recipe
Recipe aquired
Still no takers on the making of said recipe

-Any top rated all day DIY vape clone (flavor preference depending)


-A top rated peach recipe


Now with that said there is a BIG, BIG CATCH!
I would like to try the 2 or 3 recipes before I attempt them :/ I know! I know! I'm ashamed just saying it :(
Respectfully I am willing to pay for said bottles and/ or do anything I can to make this possible.

I don't really have a extensive line of juices I buy and or have tried really in the 2yrs + I've been vaping but my all time favorite is Upstomps- Waffle bomb. Which you can't get anymore other then through a vape meet :( Totally worth it though :D

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for puuting up with my long winded post.

Here is Smurf and it's probably a good idea to cut down the EM but the rest looks good. I would take this as a base and tweak it to your liking if it's not good enough already.

Smurfberry / Papa Smurf

Thanks Crunktanium
This seems to be the most common recipe I've seen also so awesome, thanks again.

I like TFA Peach Juicy by itself at 10%. I've added a little cinnamon to it & that was good, too. Ginger would also be good.

I'm not sure a 1 flavor blend would work for me, I'd be afraid it would be to blained. I've never been a cinnamon fan but to eaches own, right :) Either way it seems like a fun combo for the right person.

I'm not a cinnamon fan either, but a bit of Horchata (I've used TFA) is really nice with Juicy Peach. It's a bit creamy, mild cinnamon, a bit of clove-like spice.

As far as flavor combos go, look at (bar)drink sites or baking recipes. They translate pretty well.

Horchata sounds complex lol not sure how i'd feel about it me no likey clove.

I wouldn't be able to translate them at all which is the reason for my post. I know it sounds awful but I am looking for established recipes because I don't intend on experimenting with flavors. As I do want to be a DIY'er I'm ashamed to say that but at the same time it makes more sense, for me personally, to do it this way rather then not try at all. Long wind, sorry

There are LOTS of recipes listed on this forum. Only you know what you like or what you would like to try. All the recipes list here are ones "someone" has liked so it would be worth a try if you see something that appeals to you. Good luck in your journey.

Thanks Ld3441

I am sure you being an ultra member and being around for a while have checked out e-Liquid Calculator

I find the joy in attempting my hand at DIY and at times I fail (coffee flavors are brutal if you mess up). But with those failures comes the discovery of new and interesting flavors. I got curious and tried the DIY route and I have enough to make about 3 years supplies for my wife and I, But I have almost 100 different flavors around just to experiment with, I make these without nicotine just to see what I can make in 3ml batches. The flavors offered are continually being updated and upgraded and new flavors are added throughout the year and I keep adding to my flavor lists just to try. I am the adventurous type.

But yes I would love to find a good solid recipe for the Boba's Bounty & Gorilla Juice. The bane of my DIY juice existance is the coffee flavors though, no matter how hard I try, my coffee profile is to the point of deadly. And none of my juices ever have more then 20% combined flavor. Most coffee recipes call for very little flavor, yet after steeping they are still murderously strong.

Yep I've been there and there's a lot of good stuff . Again though I'm afraid if I buy the stuff try a bunch out over and over it will never end LOL and thats just money in the tube for me. that's why I'm limiting myself to 2 or 3 only. Plus the opinions of you DIY'ers is priceless in my opinion. Plus DIY'ers like your self have made the purchase of probably most flavors I need for those 2 or 3 recipes. So the opertunity is there for me and the person making them :) It's like a PIF partnership :D
OMG 3 years of supply! That's awesome.
That's really strong coffeee LMAO!

Was going to post the same Papa Smurf recipe, It's tasty & easy. If you want creamier, add Vanilla Swirl or Bavarian Cream, even Marshmallow would work.

Take a risk.... Try Juicy Peach with Horchata! Match made in heaven. To start go 10% Juicy Peach & 1% Horchata. Again another juice that can have a creamy note added. 3% Yellow cake would mix nicely with JP & Horchata too.

There are various recipes on this forum (there is a recipe board somewhere) although the DIY masters many have gone on to be vendors and don't share their recipes on this forum. Vendors read here too I am sure and thats why some don't post their more complex recipes. The main thing I have to say about clones is---you will never get the exact concoction the vendor does but as long as you accept that and are willing to experiment with what flavors you think are in the juice you are trying to create you will have fun. I think alot of people who successfully DIY have a handful of simple but tastey to them recipes they pegged out from trial and error or from helpful hints on the forum or elsewhere. I personally only liked a very small number of juices I tried from outside sources before I started DIY so I had nowhere to go but up. Good luck to you!!

When it comes to the peach flavor I just want a nice goergia peach sweet and sour vape :) Nothing fancy just yummy peach.

I agree that I'll never be able to duplicate a exact flavor I'm just looking for something in that ball park. I figured it better, for me, to start with a established DIY juice and move from there. I really, really don't want to go through the disaster of making my own flavors :( It's very discouraging and there's no way I'd be able to keep up with the funds and stick with it. It all comes down to being perpared when buying what I need and using it as planned.
Thank you though I definitly appreciate the encouragment we as vapors are fantastic in that regards :) 2 years no stinkys 100% proof right there :D
