Vaping my 1st ever home brew

[Roger]

Well done toots welcome to the dark side

Thanks Fred I have steeped some in water just a little bit thought nothing to lose it is 100% pure stevia. I. Then strained it through muslin it's very sweet so should be ok to use a drop or 2 till I get some white. I did buy sweetener but it's not very sweet. I've got a very sweet tooth lol

Mine's just a fruit mix Toots Orange/Pineapple/Peach it does go down well lol. If you buy stevia don't get 100% pure stevia it's green but it does the job and I can use it in my coffee.

I've got ethyl maltol in liquid form instead of stevia. Was going to make up a mix with it to get cotton candy flavour but don't know what percentage to use so haven't attempted that one yet.

Your mix sounds nice but probably a bit too tangy for my liking, I seem to prefer creamy dessert flavours. Must invest in some cream concentrates me thinks - now which cream/s would be best to buy

I wish I knew what cream goes into Papillon's caramel & cream e-liquid, coz I just love that one and have used it tons of times to make my pre-existing liquids taste more creamy

Nice one, toots! It is enjoyable vaping something that you've actually made, very satisfying.

I'm at the: I have everything..... nic base, pg & vg, empty bottles, syringes etc so I am officially primed, ready and looking at my concentrates list and thinking "wtf can I make out of them?" stage

I haven't picked my gear up yet... but already decided to have a go at applemint (apple/spearmint). Disaster or delicious, soon see!

[Pepperty]

sounds a very nice combo

Posted this on your other thread Toots, but you might find Vanillin Crystals are useful for adding a creamy flavour . . . I also like Cup Cake World's Cream, but it is very intense. Literally a couple of drops in 10ml is all you need.

First couple of mixes, and (subject to steeping) the results are in : Applemint (10% apple 10% spearmint, 67/33 PG/VG) - spearmint overpowers this a lot, very clean vape, bucketloads of cloud. Espresso Virginia (10/10) - yum, this one is a keeper for me, being a tobacco flavour. Great throat hit, touch of coffee tops it off. Yum.

Both of these sound ideal for me Perpetua I think I will have to invest in both and see which one I prefer. Are both of these a sweet enough type of cream so I won't need to add sweetner to them?

I like fruity flavours but not on their own, they just have to have a nice sweet creaminess added to them. That's why I've been using that Papillon's cream so much, but that is pre-mixed and I'd like to move completely away from pre-mixed now that I've started mixing my own.

I'm vaping a right 'ol mixture at the moment. I made up 2ml of blueberry, 2ml of cinnamon danish swirl and 2ml of vanilla custard, then steeped. Tonight I put a little of the blueberry in my tank first and vaped, then added a little custard to that and vaped, then added a little of the cinnamon danish swirl and vaped, then added 2 drops of ethyl maltol and am now vaping all these as one mix and getting some weird results from the flavour, sometimes the blueberry is stronger and sometimes the cinnamon danish swirl is stronger and then sometimes they all seem to be the total mixed flavour - it's weird but it's ok and quite pleasant, you just don't know with each vape which flavour is going to come through next
