Your top 3 DIY recipes of the moment?

[stayinwonderland]

I recently started a thread for people's top 3 'wow' vapes (vapes so good they make you dry hump your atty).

Thanks to those suggestions I've been learning more about Vaping King and got some Monkey Jizz.

But this also got me thinking more about DIY to see what I could come up with. As my experiments thus far had been hideous, I put it down to crap flavourings and I'm getting some capella ones soon. Also got me thinking that I shouldn't just go in blindly but rather get some tried and tested reciepes.

So... what are your top 2 or 3 home mades? Please include either a link to the recipe or the recipe itself (including flavouring vendor) plus a brief selling point/what makes it the shit, yo.

1. 2% Gypsy king, 4% gold Ducat, and 4% Nangka. (Very nice tobacco taste, with a bit of an aley finish) All inawera flavours
2. 10% Inawera Cappucino, 2% Ethyl Matol (Sweet coffee)
3. 5% TW Marshmallow, 5% TW chocolate, 10% Vanilla Cupcake (Forgot the brand on this)

Cool, I find a new flavour vendor every day! none of them from his country!

Last one sounds nice. What's TW? Totally Wicked?

Yeah, got them for free so no complaints at all.
They are a bit pricey normally though compared to inawera.

Well, there really needs to be a database of this but with a SOLID rating/review system. Otherwise it's somewhat pointless because it would mean spending a fair bit of dosh on ingredients. If you already have them in though it's good I suppose.

Taste is really subjective with e liquids, there are fb diy groups, stuff wot people here do and add to this forum, the vape book, google searches, what have you, and tons of advice, if it concerns you enough to look.

One handy hint is to make up initial test juice at say, 3ml, no nic (saving dosh), at very small percentages, increasing as need be, gradually.


Again, subjectivity will diminish the solidity of any ratings system, and you also get fads in particular juices or flavours, or brands. An example of this could be Capella, which are well respected and loved, but I find them a tad disappointing compared to the lack of percentages needed, and the flexibility of, Inawera flavours, as a whole, even though I do really like some of them.

I dont like anything I mix enough to tell someone else its better than something someone else mixed. Since taste is so subjective, it really doesnt matter, a recipe should be a base guide for someone to follow, they can always start off with less, work their way up, add more if they like.

Some people like black licorice, I dont. I would down rate a recipe like that and it wouldnt be fair to someone who does like it.

 

[stayinwonderland]

you wouldn't down rate it though, because you already know the subjective taste issue. I don't think anyone would make up a flavour they definitely don't like, vape it, then rate that flavour poorly.

if there's no point in rating recipes, then there's no point in doing juice reviews. It's not really about saying whether it's nice or not, just what the flavour tastes like. If enough people rated something, you'd soon get a consensus that say 75% of people thought it definitely tastes like roast beef, but the rest said otherwise.

But now I'm going to sulk because I wanted some good recipe suggestions, and now the thread has become about whether or not we should rate flavours

I could give a toss less about being able to rate or not LOL


Theres loads of great flavours out there and lots of wonderful suggestions. Right now, I am stuck on Caramel flavours and coconut.. 6 weeks ago Coconut was sickly and something I wouldnt touch


I have tried Pluid (i think) which is licorice (I think again) however at the time I didnt like it.. .last night my OH brought home some licorice candies covered in little sugary sprinkles. He knows I dont like licorice, but he tricked me... 2 handfuls later I finished the bag.
