Recipe mega thread

[Colonelboom]

The idea of people trying to emulate recipes is one thing. The attitude of 'sorry but I'm just compiling recipes and will continue to do so if the thread is taken down' is what I object to.

That is where my issue lies as the forum staff have requested that recipes are left alone if they are requested to be removed and the OP basically said piss off I'm hosting them elsewhere.

I have no issue with you personally, I have issue with that attitude you clearly displayed to the forum staff.

And again. It's not even close to trying to teach how to cook from a recipe. Recipes have techniques, times etc that are intended to guide a user into learning.

If any of my recipes pop up I will have a look to see how close they are and ask them to be removed as I have enough grief with IP protection without having to fight other companies making 'StopFire' or 'Blacqourice Powder'

And for the record there ARE other juice makers that know some of my recipes because I trust their moral compass. I also want these people to have access to materials I find that they may not know of.

Is it too late to ask whether anyone has a recipe for GVC?

Yes, I know, shut up Dave.

But I think the list is a worthwhile endeavor that I have spent a fair bit of time on, and think is overwhelmingly helpful to the vape community, rather then detrimental, so of course I'm going to work on it regardless of what happen here on POTV.

That is not disrespectful to the forum or its staff.

If it is, please explain it to me rather then assuming I mean malice.

I think it's part of today's society, why pay for someone's hard work when you can get it for free?

It's the same with any creative endeavour, the original artist puts the time and effort in (backed up with experience, skill and judgement) and should be compensated but there will always be those who don't value those things.

It's the same with anything, if everyone ripped off music and films then no artists would get paid and there wouldn't be a business model, they simply wouldn't bother (to the same degree) and there wouldn't be any blockbusters to fill the screens.

That aside, there are plenty of 'colas' out on the market, every supermarket has its own version, all containing citric acid and sugar. Is having branded 'Coke' important? You know what? Not really.
There are many strawberry concentrates so if you're making a strawberry cheesecake, which ever one you use will affect the final outcome, will they all taste like strawberry? Pretty much.

Any vendor of juices is simply mixing up food flavourings, it's not beyond the average person. It does take time and dedication to hone a recipe though and the chances of someone getting the exact flavourings and the exact percentages used is pretty small.

The long and short of it is if you like a particular juice then support the vendor, it ensures they stay in business and will create more things you might like.

I've created my own coffee, custard, doughnut and I'm perfectly happy with all of them. How do they compare to other juices? I don't know. Do I care? Nope!

I think peps made a wrong turn somewhere in this thread, which is a shame, nobody likes aggro.

I think someone needs to learn to wind their fucking neck in when speaking to the admins of this site. Just my tuppence worth.

Yes, and it seems have been the off the cuff joke:

Guess we will find out if any of these clone are exactly right when the maker asks for it to be pulled

I thought the use of the at the end would show it was a joke, but seems to have been taking in a way not intended.

I didn't stat this thread to troll or get aggro, I was trying to contribute to POTV.

Perhaps working with the team rather than as an individual would benefit your efforts (based on the fact that out of all the contributions to this thread it is mainly you that seems to to be in disagreement). I am not here to argue with you but merely pointing out that the way forward is maybe not antagonising the the moderators whom do their pretty much thankless job for the good of the POTV community for free or long standing contributing members for that matter. Comments such as you will carry on regardless if it's here, there or anywhere is clearly not helping your cause. Maybe a change of tactic could be employed that will gain you the end you desire.
Not sure if you are aware or not, but what keeps this forum a float these days is largely revenue from vendor advertising. If they do not like the idea that a recipe that they have worked hard to achieve (however close or far from the original) is being touted around the forum and want it removed that should not be questioned as it those very vendors that ultimately bring the funds to enable us all to benefit.
Like I said not here to provoke but hoping to get a point across that I think you would do well to consider.
All the best

I can see why you say that, but getting the backs up of both the site admins (who voluntarily put a considerable amount of their time and effort in to the running of the forum) and the vendors (who support the site by giving members special offers, discount codes, freebies, and contribute to the cost of running the site through advertising) is definitely not the way to go about it.

Please take this as a non-confrontational post, and one that I should have posted before my blue period...kinda like Picasso when he was using crayons.

Juice makers and the vendors that sell them pay for the forum to remain free for us to use. It's not that they probably don't appreciate the love their juices inspired so as to make people want to recreate them...but I believe they also have a reason to feel aggrieved. Whether or not you, I or anyone else has an opinion about the thread is irrelevant. If them who pays the bills object on this small matter then is it worth kicking off about?

I'm certain that if you choose to you will make your list available elsewhere, and maybe that might be a better option so save people getting riled or having noses put out of joint? Maybe this just isn't the place for it?

I don't have answers for the questions. I have to go cut my ear off now and post it to my friend.
