DIY Fruit Recipes

Icee Grape
An unashamedly fantastic chilled grape vape...

This is a continuation of my Icee range and compliments the rest of my chilled fruity range magnificently. Grape vapes are often taken for granted as they seem to be a ‘common’ fruit... BUT, when used correctly, it pays homage to the magnificence that is the humble grape.

Inw grape celebrates the grape, in its full glory, with a master stroke. Inawera has a nack for creating the most authentic fruit flavours and this is evident in INW Grape. It is a well balanced authentic grape with no profile dominating (sweet or acidity) which creates the most incredible, busts in your mouth, true grape flavour. This beauty does not contain the skin nor pips, which can often bring an unwanted bitter element.

The Fuji and Cactus provides a little juicyness and prevents linearity, often present in simple fruit vapes.
The cream adds a touch of mouthfeel to provide a bit of body and adds a little intrigue.
WS23 (or cooling agent of your choice) can be omitted or altered, depending on your taste profile.

Give this one 3 days to settle and she’s ready to go!

For the first time EVER, a recipy where rule no1 is not prevalent.:D
 
This is the king of grapes and underused, hence this recipe...
Well, at least I now have one recipy to start off with, and will hopefully be able to play with going forward. Thanks for the recipies you post, they are keeping life interesting and ensures I have my variety in the rotation.
 
FIESTAS and FIASCOS
NxDkl6K.jpg

The album Fiestas + Fiascos was Lifter Puller's rock-opera grand finale. And defined them.

The juice is as distinctive. Cult-distinctive! Find the original recipe here.

It has been on my list since it was published in September of 2016, but alas FLV Yakima Hops only became locally available recently. It was worth the wait. Get it!

ConcreteRiver, the creator, describes it perfectly: "Sweet Guava with tart grapefruit and hops bitterness. Thick, dense, and juicy.". The interplay between the sweet, tart and bitter is amazing and has me wanting more and more. Read the many 5 star reviews to get a sense of the juice.

Fiestas and Fiascos
CAP Sweet Guava 5.0 %
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.0 %
FLV Yakima Hops 3.0 %
LA Cream Cheese Icing 2.0 %
FLV Pink Guava 1.0 %
INW Cactus 0.5 %

Total flavour: 15.5 %

This sounds fantastic @Andre !
 
This sounds a lot like a local juice I've had recently. I tasted something I didn't recognise and now I know what it is.

Something I have been working on. Mango Juice.

Don't have a imaginative name for it, sorry. It is what it is. Similar to Henties Mango and Orange juice mix, just without the orange rind. Conjured together by studying and combining Mango recipes posted by various members combined with my slowly improving mixing skills.

It is not an "in your face" mango but intended as an ADV it can not be as one would tire of it very fast.

Dragon Fruit (TFA) 2%
Mango (CLY) 3.5%
Philippine Mango (TFA) 0.5%
Papaya (TFA) 1.2%
Cactus (INW) 0.2%
Super Sweet (CAP) 0.4%

My explanation of each: (Open for correction)

Dragon Fruit (TFA) 2%. This is the base of this recipe. It is the prepared canvas the other colors are applied to setting the underlying hue of the final result. In this case a generic tropical fruit hue not noticed unless known to be there.

Mango (CLY) 3.5%. The front and center topic being depicted. CLY concentrates (I find) are pretty potent so this percentage may be deceptive. CLY Mango is more of a Mango on the cusp of becoming ripe with a touch of green still present in its taste. A taste of the pip is also present and needs just a slight push into ripedom. Hence the Philippine mango.

Philippine Mango (TFA) 0.5%. Charlie Noble describes this as "Real Mango" and I add it here to give the CLY Mango just the slightest of bumps on the ripeness level. I do not like mushy dumpster mango so this kind of gets it where I want it. Ripe but still firm. Ahem.

Papaya (TFA) 1.2%. Adds softness to the mouth feel while enhancing the tropical undertones. May I risk saying a solid softness and not a pulpy powdery goo which I suspect would be the result had I increased the Philippine Mango.

Cactus (INW) 0.2%. When testing the initial version right after mixing I really regretted adding this. However after a week steep the pip taste it created gave way and all that remained was the juiciness making this a true Mango juice with the slightest intangible whisper of citrus somewhere.

Super Sweet (CAP) 0.4%. Well, self explanatory.

Add Coolness and Menthol as per personal preference. I am actually exited to try it with some with the next batch.

Constructive criticism most welcome as I still have a lot to learn.

Regards

EDIT: Tag @Dietz, the recipe mentioned earlier.

Thanks @Raindance! I am definitely going to give this one a bash.
 
So Perfect melons @Andre and awesome 4 some @Rude Rudi I will be attempting this month. Should be ready after a 3 to 4 week steep, Gona give the deserts a break now and changing my DIY supplier.
 
looking at buying a scale as the 200g scale i loan from my mates cant even mix 100mls of juices then resets due to overload.

Looking at purchasing one of these 2.
BLK Vapour has a 500g scale for R240 and Papi jos vape has a 3KG scale for 175.

Any thoughts/suggestions/tips.

I am currently using the top scale of the 2 you linked, from blck.

Haven't had a day's issue with it

I've used the bottom one for the last 2 odd years and she never skipped a beat until she fell (on my tiled floor) on Tuesday this week and met her fateful demise.
I received the R240 form Blck yesterday and must say that is definitely better then than the R175 jobbie ITO looks, size, etc.

If money is not an obstacle , I would sped the extra R65 on the bigger one. They both do the same thing at the end of the day...
 
Flavour World Sa
Malaysian Double Mango 8%
WS23 20% 2%

Capella
Supersweet sucralose 1%
 
anyone know what size bottles are the concentrates from Papi jos? Their website doesnt state...
 
Oh crap my post was supposed to be on my personal DIY thread, sorry all. multi taskin with too many ecigssa threads and tabs aint working LOL.
Thanks none the less for the feedback. @Rude Rudi the bigger scale is cheaper not more lol thats whats puzzling me. worried about the quality of the bigger cheaper one

I see - bigger in terms of what it can handle.
The Blck one is very good and better than the silver one IMHO.

You want the top one (500g) as it gives you 2 decimal places. Many recipes require that. The bottom one only has 1 decimal place.
