Just mixed this up , only first tank with no steeping it is real good. Will give more feedback once it’s settled a bit.

Well done on this one.

Icee Apple
A refreshing, chilled Apple trinity which makes you come back for even more, and more...!

People have asked me for a follow up to Icee Lychee which I gladly present as an Apple version:

Apple Triad
FA Fuji is the obvious BOSS in this recipe and lays the foundation for this Apple trio but needs a little help to flesh it out:
FA Apple stark gives a mild, realistic apple-juice flavor without being too sweet nor tart and bolsters the Fuji nicely.
Cap Double Apple provides the juicy, sweet and crisp red apple and completes our threesome

I felt the Apple on its own can be a bit linear and it needed a little something to keep the taste buds yearning for more... The obvious choice would be a spot of pear or even quince but they did not quite do the job. I opted for FA Peach White which is a delicate and complex fresh peach with just a tad of tartness to round out the recipe.

The FA Cream provides the necessary body to avoid a "flat" feeling in the mouth, synonymous with many (single) fruit vapes

WS23 cools everything down without detracting from the star of show. Feel free to start the WS23 off at 0.25% and adjust up if required.
Sub WS23 with Koolada at your preferred % if preferred.

Give this one 2 days and she is perfect!

This sounds fantastic @Rude Rudi
Thanks!

Love your descriptions of the ingredients

More concentrates needed :D
 
Icee Orange
A delicious, chilled, fresh orange: no more, no less...

This is a further adaptation based on my Icee Lycheee base employing a ripe orange to provide a refreshing and 'clean' citrus vape.

INW Shisha Orange is a phenomenal orange... It is a full, juicy, fresh orange with ZERO artificial notes. This is straight up orange juice without the acidic notes or annoyingly sweetness present in most orange concentrates. There is a fabulous zesty back note which emphasizes the authenticity perfectly. Best off all, this baby does not fade - ever!

The cream provides a bit of body and mouthfeel to avoid the 'linearness' often present in simple fruit vapes.

A dash of WS23 provides just the right amount ice to make this one a winner!!

3 days rest and she's ready to go!!!

Sounds so good @Rude Rudi
Thanks
LOVE your descriptions of the ingredients
(This has gone onto my "to mix" and "to buy" lists)
 
So my favourite juice since I switched to vaping is GBom's Moondrops on Ice. The ice just hits right on this.
I've started on the DIY route, so here's a challenge: how would you mix up a menthol/ice base to match Moondrops on Ice?
I'm not sure I'm even allowed to ask such questions.

I also like SNLV 18 Ice, but it's a lot softer on the cool portion.

I’ve never tried moondrops on ice so I can’t comment on that but I’ve found the Vapour mountain menthol the best for me so far in the sense it doesn’t kill the other flavours even at higher %’s. TFA menthol for example for me at 0.5-1% is the only thing I can taste in a recipe.

Just my 2c but I’d recommend it as a menthol any day!!

I haven't tasted GBoms Moondrops on ice but I Agree with @Paul33 ,Vapour mountain menthol is the best to use. Combined with some ws 23 will give you a faceplant of note. I think @Friep uses WS23 black ice at 2.5% in his recipy at the top of the page, and I think that must be really cold. You will have to play around a bit with the %of each to find the sweet spot between the cold and the menthol.
 
Yeah, I picked up some TFA menthol couple of weeks back from Juicy Joe's. I did a 1% and it was awesomely ridiculous, but very strong on the menthol flavour. Then I made up a mix and decided just 0.1% of TFA menthol. Even at that percentage I was hit with menthol. It's super strong. On the bright side I'll be keeping this one for winter when all the stuffy heads arrive. It sure clears up the sinuses.

I'll get some VM menthol when I'm back.

I don't know what Moondrops on Ice is, but it's pretty pleasant. I keep going back to it when I can't make up my mind on trying something new.

Wow man, just Wow!!! I have been reading this thread for a while and THIS orange recipe had major influence on my concentrates purchase for yesterday.

I mixed up this one last night but amended it to my taste and I have to say this is Delicious!!!! I made 4 experimental Mixed and this was the one I thought I would be the least happy with (as its so simple) and this is definitely one of the best ones of the 4!!
By Faaar the best Orange I have ever used, Ever!

My adjusted version of this joose:
2.5% INW - Orange Shisha
0.5% FA - Cream Fresh
1% BV - Black ice
.25% CAP - Super Sweet

I think I am going to add .10% Cactus next time.

This was a winner thanks @Rude Rudi

Some may want to stay the hell away. Some might find it very interesting (not like that mediocre candy nonsense I posted last month :( )

TFA Menthol 1.5%
FA Polar Blast 1% (or adjust accordingly with your favourite "cool additive")
INW Cactus 2%
INW Juicy Lemon 1%

Very smooth, and freekin cold, at 70VG.

I leave it for a week. I smashed 60mls after a week. Might do more with more time. I don't know.

The Menthol can't bully the force that is INW Lemon. The Cactus makes it wonderfully strange and juicy. We know Lime and Cactus is great. Why wouldn't Lemon be to?

This is for 'Strong Menthol' lovers. An ADV for me.

I suspect @Silver @Andre might enjoy this.

Oh boy @rogue zombie
This sounds fantastic
I most certainly will be adding this to the 'to mix' list
Thank you
 
While we're on the topic, mixed anything lately Mr Silver ? :D

Sad to say no Sir Llama
My to mix list is rapidly growing and my to buy list is out of control.
But I will get there ;-)
 
Can I sub CAP juicy lemon for INW?

I'm not sure hey. I have my doubts.

Usually, even at low percentages, Menthol kills the rest. INW Juicy Lemon is potent.
I also find many Citrus flavours very insipid. I can start tasting the wick with them, because they're not "full bodied" tasting.

Maybe try it at a high percentage (I'm not sure about the CAP one). The Cactus is a great smoothing flavour, so it will round out any unwanted sharpness at 2%, that may come from the Lemon.

But seriously, if you like Lemon, INW Juicy Lemon is a must. No wannabe Lemon. Easiy to make it sweet or tart. It's a bit of both on its own. Great concentrate.

Sold. It’s on the shopping list for next month.
 
I shall call this: Peppermint Crisp Chocolate Bar Clone

EDIT: went back to my original recipe as the updated version was too overpowering with the mint, not being able to taste the chocolate or the cream. Two critiques commented on not being able to taste the chocolate so that has been updated.

ok so you are bringing inw raspberry and inw cactus to the braai then?
 
Here is the 1st of my Own Recipes. Its still under development and needs a tweak, just cant nail it yet. This is just the 1st acceptable version that I feel is worth sharing. I have been searching since last year's Vapecon for a Decent watermelon joose.
Te me Most of the watermelons have a very artificial taste or its just Waaay to overpowering and sticks to my wicks, So I decided to make my own.

Deez Melonz
This is my take on a ripe Summertime Watermelon that borders that Fresh Fruit flavor but still maintaining a trace of that Candy feel without being too overpowering or too Sweet.
This also goes a bit deeper getting that real 'Moist' taste followed up by a Cool frosty exhale laced with some Raspberry sweetness.
