I really like coconut vapes, so this is very strong on the coconut. Hence, it will take about a week for the coconut to settle - until then it will not taste particularly nice. The main coconut is the FLV one - and I don't think it is subbable. Coconut Extra (or regular TFA coconut at ~4 %) is mostly there for the extra coconut aftertaste - but any higher and it will taste like sunscreen. Coconut extra just has a better coconut aftertaste if you can layer out the basic taste of it. You can remove it totally if you want - the main note is really the sweet coconut. The addition of Oak helps the coconut's texture, I've found - but again, it is quite low, so you won't notice a big difference if you don't have it.
Apricot (TFA) is the only Apricot that I have, but I quite like it. It is a bit like dried apricot pieces, so to get more juice out of it you can add some Dragonfruit (TFA) - 4%, or Jamaican Rum (FA) at 0.5 to 1%, or Mango (TFA) at ~4%. I've tried with Marzipan, and although it adds a lot to the texture and sweetness, I don't think the almond necessarily works here. In the present recipe, the Meringue helps apricot slightly, and the Torrone adds a little bit to give a taffy-ish texture.
Finally, Cookie (FA) is the perfect base for this. Cookie also blends well with the Meringue and Torrone, and of course, the AP.
The final result, after steeping, is a almost crunchy coconut cookie with a strong apricot undertone. The aftertaste is mostly cookie and coconut.
- Sweet Coconut (FLV) - 4 %
- Coconut Extra (TFA) (optional) - 0.4 %
- Cookie (FA) - 2 %
- Apricot (TFA) - 9 %
- Torrone (FA) (optional) - 0.5 %
- Oak Wood (FA) (optional) - 0.75 %
- Meringue (FA) - 1%
- Acetyl Pyrazine 5% - 0.5 %

OMG I can't believe he posted a Hertzog recipe. Has he no shame...
Thank you very much for this
I only need the coconut...
Just a quick flavour note, been playing around with the TFA honeydew II and it's a huge let down compared to the v1, but then when has a v2 ever been better?
I've been trying to make a "locally available version" of the dewwy boba a la diyordie, this is as close as I've come so far:
Cap Honeydew Melon 5%
Cap cantaloupe 3% or FA Cantaloupe 2%
TFA Gummy candy 0.5% (imo this is closer to the original "candy" vibe than the circus cotton candy)
TFA VBIC 2% (or 2% FA whipped cream if you have it)
Sucralose 0.5-1%
I've tried subbing honeydew II and it totally sucks in this recipe.
This is a WIP, I'll update it if I don't forget about it or die from honeydew II poisoning.

Pinch My Rum:
TFA Jamaican Rum 3.5 %
TFA White Chocolate 3%
TFA Pear 3%
CAP V. Custard V1 3.5%
CAP Apple Pie V1 1% (trust me on this bit)
FA Sweet 1%
Optional for more juicy mouth feel EM 0.5%
Took me many mixes to get to this one. I really dig it. Custard with pear liquer. The V1 Apple Pie and Pear work together otherwise the pear is just... weird.

Thats helluva interesting.
This is what I love about this community and sharing, you get ideas that you would never have thought of before.
Some recipes I tried out this morning. Have made them before, just some tweaks and testing done now.
Please feel free to comment, especially if something doesn't seem right.

That fresh apple pie sounds delicious, but the only comment I have is that you need to charge your phone
If your battery dies, you can't share anymore recipes with us
I got my girls, and had a bite of, those Rice Crispy Treats.
It's gooey Rice Crispies, Marshmallow and maybe Syrup or Honey... Bloody nice. I want to try one of these Crispy Treat recipes now.

To me it tastes like a sugar coated fruit roll.

Any of you guys know where I can get TFA Key Lime flavor?

TFA KEY LIME is on the no fly list so no longer available in SA from the various vendors, but Valley Vapor has FW key Lime which is the only Key Lime available at this stage - but I can always possibly be wrong.
Hi Guys. I think I am ready for the DIY game. What software /apps do you use for your mixing / calculations? Do you mix your concentrates by drops or do u use a scale. Is the scales from Valley Vapour good? Help please. Thanks.
Hi, the experts mix by weight but I mix by volume wih insulin syringes. I use e-juice lab on my android but I am looking at All the Flavours from DIYorDie.
Last week had my first few toots on diy thanks to the mod I bought which still had some residual juice in the bottom feeder. Man o man where was I all this time. Will be placing an order soon but will still support local juice as I had tasted a few which I love a lot

I got one of the scales from VV and I'm very happy with it. My previous one was limited to 100g only. For calcs, I use e-juice-me-up and find it very simple to use.
Can anyone recommend a decent Apple flavour, currently have Fuji Apple but looking for something a bit sweeter, more a of golden delicious apple than a tart apple. Don't want a candy or artificial tasting apple.
