The problem is REAL - Thats the DIY rack, then I have Hardware & Steeping rack also - "Hi my name is Chukin'Vape and shit is fkn REAL right now"

Haven't used FA Dark Bean, but if FA Italian Relax Cuppacino is anything to go by I would say that even at 1% it will be very strong if not overpowering. Unless they are going for that coffee kick.

Since I've been gone for so long I thought, I'd drop by and leave this awesome recipe here for my fellow DIY-ers

Its a spin off of Pecan Pie Filling from here - I call it: Heaven
FLV Macaroon 2%
FLV Pralines 3%
CAP Vanilla Custard 2%
FA Apple Pie 2%
FA Marshmallow 1%
TFA Graham Cracker 0.5%
1 drop MTS Vape Wizzard per 10ml

Steep Time: At Least 1 week, 2 weeks is best.

If its not sweet enough for you then add some sucralose to it.

I'm enjoying it, its really good - been vaping it solidly for the past 2 weeks. Has a subtle coconut and nutty chocolate flavour, its hard to explain - but I can assure you it is good.

"Hi Chuuuuucccckkkkmkk"

Impressive collection you have there @Chukin'Vape. I'm just as deep I stopped counting when I hit 100 different concentrates.
This rabbit hole your descending has no bottom

@NewOobY is back with a cracking recipe. I need to source those FLV concentrates and I'm good to mix.
It's always 1 or 2 that's your short, ALWAYS!

This one looks like a winner !!

2% Vanilla Cupcake v2 ( CAP )
2% Vanilla Custard ( TPA )
5% Vanilla Custard v2 ( CAP )
5% Vanilla Swirl ( TPA )

 

[Rude Rudi]

Mind you, this one looks pretty tasty too! Not sure about the 4.3%, but there you go - each to their own!

E Generation Black Label Nutty Nana
Banana Cream PA 4%
Bavarian Cream PA 4.3%
Marshmallow PA 3%
Peanut Butter PA 3%
Toasted Almond PA 2%

Mix the following last night:

150ml Nana Cream
150ml Strawberries and Cream
100ml HIC Lemoncello Torrone Parfait
30ml Peaches and Cream
30ml Pink Lemonade

The Lemoncello and Pink Lemonade are good right out the gate. The Pink Lemonade is exactly what I've been looking for. I love the fizzy citrus taste with the sweetness as an undertone. I was finding a lot of the fruit mixes too sweet and I might be starting a sordid love affair with citrus.

The Torrone in the Lemoncello gives an awesome nutty flavour. The Lemon Sicily and Custard make it VERY rich but it's a gorgeous vape. Not an ADV though.

Made the Parfait a few weeks ago = def not an ADV - It's good but not my "cup of tea" - the Torrone is like Gin and Tonic - you either love it or hate it..
Pink Lemonade - very nice but I find I cant vape more than about half a tank - the citrus in this one start to "burn" your tongue - like when you have too many oranges... Did you use the CAP Pink Lemonade?

For some reason the torrone just speaks to my tastebuds. Love the nougat type flavour, so very nutty.

I used the following for Pink Lemonade:

FW Lemonade 6%
TFA Raspberry Sweet 2%
TFA Strawberry Ripe 1%
FA Lemon Sicily 0.75%

30/70 PG/VG 6mg

It tastes like Gin and Tonic. I love it. Will let you know about the furry tongue after I vape it all today

Disappointed. That is what I am tonight. There have been a few issues casting a dark cloud as far as DIY on the forum goes. When I commented on this, my thread was made out to be a useless analogy. So disappointing when adults behave like bickering children, and just strengthens my view that South Africans don't want the sun to shine on their fellow man. So what if you posted a recipe on a public forum on a diy thread and someone used it for a commercial juice? Plus, can it be proven 100% on a mass spectrometer that it was "your" recipe exactly? While you market juice that is created in "collaboration" with someone else? Pretty much the same thing in my view. We as diy'ers have never asked vendors to not be allowed access to our diy section. We do not fear our recipes being stolen by the evil "monsters" for capitol gain. Now we have people deleting posts in diy threads where they simply made % recommendations. What a load of crap man. "I won't share anything with you because you might make more money than I do, or your juice might be better than mine".

I just don't have time for this bullshit mentality. I will from now on only be active on www.e-liquid-recipes.com as far as diy juice goes.
We call this a great community, and it is in most cases, but unfortunately it is made great by a handful of great people who help keep up the image, while in the background the children are bickering about unimportant shyte.

Rant over.

I will say this - in collaboration" means the creator got PAID. It means he was compensated and CREDITED for his work, and that it was used with permission.

To me there's a VAST distinction between that approach and straight up making a business out of someone else's work without credit, compensation or permission. If that's still the "same thing" in your view we obviously have irreconcilably different concepts of right and wrong.

One of the best loved and respected O.G DIYers - HIC - moved most of his content behind a paywall precisely because of these type of politics, deleting a lot of his content from where he originally posted it. Nevertheless people still "pirate" these recipes but at least he does get some compensation in the form of the original recipe purchase.

I really, really don't want this to become an argument, and I won't actually respond any further on this topic. I only did so this one time because it appears you have targeted me in your rant, despite me not being involved at all in whatever happened after making my initial post on the subject.

I simply mentioned my reticence to post recipes after what happened with one of them.
A purely personal choice which should have no impact or bearing on you at all.

Plus, can it be proven 100% on a mass spectrometer that it was "your" recipe exactly?

If it tastes like Chanel No. 5, it's probably one of mine.

 

[Deckie]

WOW, this whole thread went south on the first available high speed train. I was under the impression this was "share" knowledge forum, somewhere one can get help, share experiences all for the greater good of the community. Respect gentlemen, for each other & other's opinions.

 

[Shooterbuddy]

Stop messing with our thread. This is for us to help each other. Fact is if you put something out there on the net. It's out there. You can't expect it to be a secret. Or am I just being daft?

Let's keep the diy thread to just that and go open another one for complaining about business issues please.

What I love about the DIY community is how we share our experiences with one another. Whether that's sharing notes on flavours or combinations we've tried, or sharing recipes we like, or our own original creations.

When I first started DIYing I was amazed that guys like HIC actually shared what they'd made until I realised that they really enjoyed knowing that people were enjoying their recipes. And that was enough for them.

The simple truth is that if you don't want to get ripped off don't put something on the internet. But if you're happy to share and contribute to the community then post away! And posting a recipe isn't the only way to share - giving tips and advice is probably more valuable than just percentages

If it's a slight rubber taste with slight undertones of burnt wood it's probably mine

Being part of a community means sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree. It's like family.
In another thread I made a comment that upset a fellow member. We exchanged PM's and resolved the issue. We now agree but even if we did not, we have no hard feeling simply because we disagree.

Ive really noticed since this past December, i am seriously a 'seasonal vaper'.

Last December, hot holidays in PE, I couldnt get enough of Fruits, Menthol and mints.

I thought I had gone off bakery juices. This winter, I rediscovered my love for bakery, and hardly touched fruits.

These past couple hot days, my favourite bakery stuff is just not doing it for me, and fruits are back in fashion.

Just some random thoughts I thought I would share

When steeping a Cream and fruit.
Do you allow the cream to steep first or mix both and wait for the mix a week later
