Mixing Tips, Tricks, Questions & Answers

[Perpetua]

You're most welcome J_Mac.

We don't have a DIY ' Swap Shop ' as it's against Forum rules to sell or trade home brews . . . with the scrutiny we're under, it's best not to court further unwelcome attention.

Ah yeah makes sense. Should I not offer to send samples out then, just share the recipe?

[Perpetua]

Sharing the recipe instead would be lovely J_Mac, thank you.

I have spent the last 2 nights reading this thread, all i can say is WOW! best mixing thread by a country mile, i have seen so far on any forum.
Just have to say a big thank you to Froggy, Perpetua and all the other posters for adding their recipes and all the other very helpfull tips contained in this thread.
Today i have recieved the last bits of my order for mixing gear, so come Saturday i will be trying out a few of these recipes, i am just kicking my self that i did not see this thread before i ordered my flavourings, as CCW seem to have most of the flavours i like.

But at least i know about them now.
I am just going to start with 5ml testers and progress from there

Hi everyone!

im a seriously new vaper! only been at it a few weeks, honestly wish id found it sooner! Im a chef by trade so naturally would love to make my own juices and share ideas with the wealth of knowledge to be found here.

Just thought id sign up and say a HUGE thanks to all you guys! This thread has had me engrossed for two weeks! (took me that long to get through it properly) and i have just spent a small fortune ordering all my kit!

thanks again for all the info and purchasing links, hopefully you will all come to know me as well as i feel i know all of you!

mcallister687 I'm looking forward to "professional" recipes as well, what's your preference with vaping flavours (tobacco, sweets, something else)?

[mcallister687]

i think ill start with just some simple fruit flavor, planning on steeping my own tobacco concentrates also.. what really excites me is the prospect of bringing some savoury-esk notes to vapes.. im thinking beetroot or fennel types. also thinking herb infusions or teas.. dont know how to go about it as of yet.. still need to find my feet!! Still, the sky is the limit!!

ive got some links to interesting reading on flavor similarity on a molecular level.. need to dig those out!

Savoury huh? You should give this a go then. It's kinda sweet and savoury at the same time. A bit like digestive biscuit tobacco, sounds rank but very clever.

[mcallister687]

Interesting definitely! Can't be spending any time soon tho!! My postie will have enough work to do in the next few days

Does anyone make there own flavour concentrates? For e.g. outside the tobacco steeps etc

[J_Mac]

I read a recipe for tea infusion, forget which thread now. Might be this one. Think it was as simple as tea in PG in microwave for 10 mins.

[mcallister687]

Yeh was thinking of teas.. a nice rooibois would be goooood

What I meant tho was more in the style of infusions with... say... basil or sage.

[Perpetua]

Ash tried infusing Basil leaves once . . . it looked gross and by all accounts tasted gross Maccallister.

[mcallister687]

Interesting... I have no idea how flavours translate in the vaping world! It's a whole new world! I guess I just assumed if it tasted good it would vape to the same flavour. Is that not the case?

[Perpetua]

Apparently not Macallister. . . although fresh mint leaves worked quite well as I remember, as well as a coffee concentrate someone made from ground coffee.

There are so many lovely flavour concentrates available it's something that's never appealed to me to try, like my cooking . . . I'm happy to let someone else do that for me.
