cream caramel flavour is my latest combination. 60/40 pg/vg ratio , 12mg/ml nic and flavour 14 % cream 6% caramel. hmmmm yummy. didn't steep it or anything, just mixed up and straight into the protank

trying to find that personal sweet spot for myself where i get enough nic to not need to chain vape and just enough of a throat hit to make me feel i've inhaled something. also mixed up some coffee with 70/30 vg/pg , less flavour as the coffee is quite strong and less nic. this should help me compare throat hit, vapour production and nic twitchyness :)
 
30ml "Irish cream" that is actually irish coffee. i was expecting something like that whiskey liquer.
30 ml revised marula.
10ml banana caramel& cinnamon
then ry4 and a bottle of base. problem is, i mixed them up, so i don't know which one is which. one has flavour, and the other does not. my nose is not telling me which is which. so I'm gonna steep them a bit, then try to smell again.
 
drop a few drops of one onto a coil. that should release any flavour?
 
just tried my 70/30 coffee mix i made last night, vapour much more, less throat hit, the less coffee flavour also makes it a nice gentle very much still coffeeish vape. yum

and now for the weird bit. my current long term experiment is you know that little bit of eliquid left at the bottom of a bottle or carto? those little drips and drabs we are so often left over with. i've been taking those bits and chucking them all into one bottle. got almost 20 mils now of various flavours all fighting it out in one bottle, slowly steeping and mixing together. will it taste good? who knows but its worth a try
 
I mix with flavors all the time. Still haven't found anything mind blasting just yet. But taking key note of your mixes :)
 
and now latest that's been mixed up is 5ml each of red bull, berry, pineapple and cola
all at 20% flavour, 9mg/ml nic and 65/35 vg/pg
now it sits in the cupboard for a day or two or untill i break down and grab one of them
 
mixed Mt baker Vaper cherry and mango this morning - super yum!! Gizmo made on the other day with their lime and something ese - tasted just like lemon twist
 
ok so i broke down and tried all the flavours one after the other. vaped real thin, was starting to depress me as the taste was nice but it just didn't feel like i was inhaling much. dawned on me maybe i had mixed in a little bit too much water with my vg. so in goes another few drops of vg into each test batch and the difference is remarkable. for me that is. seems i have a certain vaping comfort zone that i'm getting used to :)
i don't think the flavours are very overwhelmingly strong but this was batches mixed this afternoon. so i'm just going to let those little test batches sit in a corner for a bit more and see how they develop

ps. berry nomnomnomnomnom

pps. thinner mixture was actually causing the coil to heat up a lot more than it normally did. tested it by vaping the pineapple last after some more vg added and protank base has stayed within normal heat tolerances.
 
Not us but one of our customers mixed a toffee and menthol flavour with a hint of tobacco - sounded horrible at first but tasted amazing, waiting for him to send us his recipe so we can share it with all of you
 
just to get back to my mistakes i made. all my last stuff i used too much flavouring and it all came out tasting like not much at all. should have followed these steps. also if your mixed ejuice doesnt taste right, chucking it in a bottle with other failures wont make it magically better. i know that now. my brain should have told me that chucking a whole bunch of broken car parts in a garage will not get me a working car, just a whole pile of rusted junk. also i think my "salad" mix managed to fudge up my taste buds to such an extreme that i couldnt properly taste the stuff i mixed after that and so i wasted another bunch of precious nic juice

Hoosier's levels of flavoring from too little to too much:

  1. Nothing (Did I forget to add the flavoring?)
  2. Something Odd (This does not taste like the flavor I put in there.)
  3. I Can Taste Something Kinda' Like It (I can detect the higher or spice notes, but not the actual taste)
  4. Hooo, It's There, but Real Light (Getting close now, let it steep before adding any more)
  5. Bingo (Duh, we have a juice)
  6. Hmmmm, That Is Close, But Has A "Je Ne Sais Pas" of Oddness (Dang didn't let it steep and I overshot)
  7. Kinda' Close, but the Perfumey/Chemically Kills It (Going into the too much realm here and may be due to ignoring the steep part of #4.)
  8. Whoo, Did I Forget to Put the Flavoring In? (Too much flavoring can actually make things impossible to taste.)
Note that the first tier and last tier are much alike, the only difference is the way the unvaped juice smells. If it smells fairly close, but has no flavor then it is usually too much. (Usually, not always as there are exceptions.)
 
Okidoki.
Just made
30ml 555,carmel, cream. Nice and suttle 555 tobaco taste. Very nice for now. (steeping) Will give more feedback later.
10ml peach,cream, hazelnut. Peach on inhale and peach/hazelnut on exhale. Very nice for now. (steeping) Will give more feedback later.
10ml amarula, brandy, cream. Very nice drink with amarula ruling. (steeping) Will give more feedback later.

Tested with 0.5 ohm Igo-w on KTS with efest 30A battery.

I will give it a week to steep and give a new look on them.
 
Sounds very tasty Tyler. Where are the flavours from? Vapour Mountain?
 
Ok cool. Enjoy it
 
so lets explain that i have a VERY limited selection as there is no body actively trying to supply juices here at the moment , so i have become creative -
i have got 0 nic - grape , blueberry and rasberry
and twisp 0.9mg apple and vanilla

Mixtures of those are getting a bit tiresome !!

SO the booze cabinet is the next stop - my first attempts were bad , did not leave the booze out to evaporate and tried them mixed with the vanilla or apple for the nic .

Until tonight , i left out a tequila coffee liqure last night and this evening after rebuilding a CE5 clearomiser i mixed a few drops of liqure to a few drops of vanilla and some rasberry (no flavor) for thickening .

Its not the wow of juices , but to have a flavour that is so different to what i have is just magical . if i go for the long hit it gets a burnt taste as i presume the alcohol is burning to quickly but if i get it just right its a coffee vanilla chocolate hit that is just full of promise .

I just can't wait for the 5th January !!
 
Hehe Rowen. That is some hectic stuff. So when vaping alcohol do you feel the effects onset quick?
 
Gizmo , i would have to say i found the experience a bit dull maybe it was the vodka mix i was trying but all i got was a heavy burnt taste and bugger all else , i would have like to get a hit of booze but there was nothing to speak off .
I really think the coil is burning off the booze quickly and going to burn that flavor straight away . I think it would be way better to mix the booze with a plain PG/VG , and let it rest / steep for a day or two , then see what you get .
 
So my lab is finally churning out some decent juice. I've been playing for a few days and came up with.

Banana, caramel and cream tart. :)
7% banana, 8% caramel and 5% cream. 12mg nic at about 50/50

Its so good nice and subtle favouring, smooth decent th and good vapour.

I tell you what after having my taste buds assulted by a certain commercially available juice for the past few months this is almost vaping nirvana.

Next up is Cool caramel
had to tinker a bit and best guestimate is 12ish% caramel and add a few drops of menthol just till you get the menthol coolness on the throat. Never liked menthol stinkies but enjoying this. 9% nic.

and 18% nic 50/50 unflavoured to give the tastebuds a rest. This and VM4 is what I'm vaping the most.

Most of the ingredients are from VM. Thanks Oupa. :D

Hang in there Rowan keep experimenting

Admire your determination Rowan. I can only just imagine what you'll be mixing after you have stocked up with supplies when you come to SA.
 
oh it's going to be hectic and brutal on the plastic ..
