I have concentrates, base, VGPG, bottles, etc... Help!

[tomj777]

 Well folks.
 To preface: I tend to get carried away, especially when my mind isn't the most rational (which, alas, is frequent but not really for this thread). Although saying that, I'm currently ruled by a chaotic and anxious mind... Hence taking action by reaching out here. I guess this is a continuation of a thread in Members Only but that's more about mental state.

 I have various recipes that I've gleaned from here and elsewhere.
 I've mixed a couple of juices.

• A Granny Smiths Apple Pie and Custard variant - coming on nicely - two weeks steeped and custard is developing. 
• 15ml of Fluid - terribly sweet and as bland as a very bland thing, a milky lime green in colour. Also two weeks into steeping but probably prepared very badly (perhaps even missing something key).

 And I've four others to try (the first I'll perhaps attempt today, because I have the requisite flavourings)

• Cocconut, Caramel, Hazelnut, Honey
• Fairy Blood
• Peach & Rasberry Melba
• Strawberry Cookie

As per title I've a bunch of concentrates

 Where I'm stuck is pointers for other recipes - My mind is not in a place where I can realistically be creative (and I think I need more experience) 
I can not spend more pennies (financially I really shouldn't have started this) and fear I'll be running out of vape-able juice before the month is out.

Please can some kind soul make some recommendations....

Oh - I'm not terribly keen on tobacco flavours (they were chucked into a UKV purchase).

Help.

PS - this link gets you to a read only Excel file which includes both my concentrate / recipe xref and a set of formulae to construct the big table above.

Case of doing a mad hatter cook book,little bit of this ,that looks like it might go,starnger conncotions have been made,for instance accidently half filled redastaire with colonel custard....now before you reach for a bowl i liked it lol

[tomj777]

I wondered about doing that but confidence and creativity are and absent right now, whereas bewilderment I have aplenty.
Hence looking for pointers like ooh... you've got all that, I would try something like...

No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted

Why don't you just do some straight single mixes of some of those concentrates tomj777. Once they're mixed up you can either just vape them straight or have a little play about mixing the juices. At least you would have something vapeable (is that a word?)

This. Make small amounts then bang some together and see what happens. I'd have a go at caramel, banana and peppermint, and anise and apple. If the result is horrid, you can always rescue it with some menthol crystals (£1.49 a tub from any pharmacy).

I agree with this, some of them are nice on their own, and can also be mixed together to make something else, let me take a closer look at the list -

[sammy13]

These are worth a try on their own -
Apple pie
Cake batter ( I mix this at 16% )
Peaches and Cream
Apple
Coconut
Granny Smiths Apple
Hazelnut
Raspberry
Real Banana
Strawberry
Tutti Frutti
Peppermint

These are all vapable alone, if you don't like any of them then you could then afterwards add sweetner, or mix them together.

[tomj777]

Wow - lots to play with - thank you. Hadn't even thought about single mixes.
+ caramel, banana and peppermint,
+ anise and apple
Thank you all.

So out of the garden I go to find all the bits and bobs....

Shall report back.
More ideas welcome
Thanks folks.

If you use Carpe Vapor website you can enter your flavours and it will give you mixes using only those.
Heres a link to it eliquid-recipes.co.uk/

Edited to add - If you look at reply number 8 in the thread that I have linked to below it tells you how to use it.

As has been said, some of those are good standalone, but if you fancy just having a play with your flavourings, tomj777, (and you have a lot to play with lol) then mix small quantities, but leave out the nic liquid, then if they really are rank concoctions, you've only wasted a few mls of the cheaper ingredients.

And for a couple of suggestions.....strawberry/vanilla ice & banana/vanilla custard?

[tomj777]

My goodness - you folks are stars.
So... mighty distracted (because that's part of the problem) I mixed myself 10ml of Banana Custard and 10ml of this:



I'm guessing the custard needs 28 days steeping or there about.

I'm wildly guessing that the Peppermint / Caramel / Banana experiment is worthy of testing / tweaking after a week?

Hopefully the Chef's Vapours package will be delivered tomorrow - I'm inspired.

[OliverB]

I've just sampled a liquid I made a couple of weeks ago out of the dregs of banana, hazelnut and coconut concentrates and it is very nice indeed. On the other hand, the walnut, irish cream and butterscotch mixture is a bit blahhhh.

[Perpetua]

Some other ' standalone ' suggestions from me:

Cinnamint
Vienna Cream
Tutti Fruity

A little more adventurous brews:

Custardy Lovechild ( using the VC, French Vanilla, Vanillin & Sweetener )
Raspberry Marshmallow

I was just about to say, you have all the necessary for Custardy Lovechild tomj777.  It's the first recipe in the Vanilla Custard thread

[ronaldo]

I haven't though
