Best DIY Recipes 2018

I've got others, but seeing as I just finished mixing another 50mls of this I'll post it here:

Strawberry Crunch Custard

Delicious textured vape blending Custard and cookies with a sweet strawberry syrup. I'm no fan of strawberry vapes, but this one is an exception for me.

I've been working on a coffee variation for weeks now but just can't find a good enough coffee yet (and still no VT Arabica in stock )

I suppose I’m a bit biased to the tobaccos since I discovered it, but here are ones I thoroughly enjoy.

Coming from you i'm just blown away with the shout out of Missionary - one of my first recipes I was proud of getting some love at the end of the year. Thanks @Andre

Some of my Favorites this year

Kawayan - RuntDastardly
Daveberry Cheesecake - AlfredPudding
007 Cola - AlfredPudding

Having only starting with DIY this year, I unfortunately don't have too many recipes to post - I have mostly been mixing adaptations of recipes or older recipes made in 2017, etc. I do however have one to vouch for:

Pink Cloud - By Statch

At the start of DIY mixing I made some easy beginner mistakes - added too many flavorants to a recipe, too high percentages and not following recipes with the actual flavorants from their respective brands. This recipe made me see the light! It was the first mix that me and my friends wholeheartedly agreed upon being as good as the commercial eliquids we were used to. Needless to say, my next order of concentrates was based 90% off of recipes I wanted to mix, instead of just ordering concentrates randomly based on what sounded good like the first time.

It's pretty simple flavor wise, and there are more impressive recipes out there, but it's a very tasty litchi vape - akin to a glass of Ceres litchi juice. CAP Jelly Candy & Sweet Lychee work wonderfully together.

Edit: Prickly Victory - hashslingingslashur is definitely also one of my favorites for the year. Had completely forgotten about it until I read Theo's post above. Unbelievably simple and easy to make, while still being super delicious. INW Cactus & CAP Sweet Guava are winner concentrates!

I still say prickly victory isn't a 2018 recipe, was mixing this last year, but hey man, it is awesome, still vaping it

The problem is a lot of us only started mixing this year. So all the recipes ar new for us.

prickly vicTory gets my vote then (for fruit)

I'm on the fence for tobacco

You are right, it was only edited this year - i'm not sure if the edit was only text, or an actual recipe edit. But its ultimately a 2017 recipe. Thanks for this - editing my post!

I think there are threads for every year - so with a bit of search work you should find them.

Andre does the St. Louis cake need sweetener or ethyl maltol? Will 0.5% of either be ok?

You have all convinced me. I'm going to make it right now.

With such a simple recipe rule 1 doesn't apply.

seriously do it.

Done in 12 minutes, including typing in the recipe etc.

Going to drip a bit now.......

Had to re-wick to give it a fair go....

Really good, especially as it is hot off the scale. Plain and simple Guava. I'm going to like this one a lot

You mean in place of the CAP Super Sweet? Yes, 0.5% of either should work.

@Rude Rudi
007 Cola
A true masterpiece bar none... This represents the pinnacle in DIY and a top contender for recipe of the year. This perfectly creates a cola profile without using cola. It tastes like a Wilson's Toffee to the tee and is absolutely spectacular.

It needs a steep of about 5-7 days but already one of my favourites for the year. And perfect for this time of the year.

Yeah, it's a pretty special recipe. I'm not a fan of cola and while I enjoy this recipe it's not my favourite, but just the fact that it captures the cola flavour using no cola concentrates is super impressive. And it produces a better vape than the actual cola concentrates!

Another one I'm enjoying from 2018 is Four Coco. Although for my personal tastes I lowered the FLV Sweet Coconut by 1%.

Same here. I haven't had a Coke in 20 years but as @Dietz I think mentioned, it tastes of those old fashioned homemade (or artisanal, as is the current turn of phrase) colas. It is, in all senses, an inspired recipe because it surprises and delights in equal measure*.

* Sidebar. I always remember that line from Sam Johnson: "The essence of poetry is invention; such invention as, by producing something unexpected, surprises and delights". I see that Google apparently thinks it comes from a marketing model.

Poor Sam would be horrified.
