Best Mountain Dew

Thank you Jo-Jo, … :frowning: the baja is unfornately my least favorite dew flavor haha… My pilgrimage continues. It’d be interesting to see what the senior mixers would come up with if they threw the dice.

Northwest VG also has a dew with good reviews on ECX I think
They say you are supposed to mix the two apparently

I was looking at the wrong website… more to ponder… mix several MT Dew flavors… hmm, this is gonna fun
Champagne
sour
key lime
citrus punch
mountain dew VG
Sweetner…
i’ll get my labcoat

Liquid Barn also sells a Dew flavor, sadly i cannot tell you much about it as i am unable to vape Dew flavors in general. They all make me cough horribly, the very first flavor i bought was a Dew flavor, it was 36mg and nearly killed me. Ever since that day, around 4 years ago, i have been unable to vape the stuff. Sad as it is my all time favorite soda.

Dew Mountain

BTW, LB makes some incredible cream flavorings and some good tobaccos as well. @LiquidBarn

Well, it has been some time, but has anyone had any success with a good Mountain Dew? Whether it be a combination of flavors or a flavor concentrate, this elusive concoction is hard to mistake.

Getting the base down as once a good Mountain Dew base is created/ found, flavors can easily be added to make it Code Red, Baja Blast, Livewire, etc.

Are any of the concentrates good? Or has someone had better luck making it from scratch?

Lol, I think I found it :joy::joy::joy::joy:

As an update, they have a lot of baja blasts, but the citrus punch by itself isn’t very convincing to me. I had settled on a citrus freeze, a neon green slushie.

I tried Citrus Punch from 5% to every level to 15%, I couldn’t find the sweet spot and delved into other juices. Thanks for bringing me back to this.

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone had had luck. All Pepsi gives us for a hint is the word ā€œcitrusā€ and that is super vague. Every time I make a Mountain Dew attempt, it’s always lemon, lime, and a tiny bit of orange which comes out tasting like Sprite.

Maybe I’ll give some of the other concentrates a try, I know LB is now at BCF so that’s one that may be worth a go.

Add TFA Lemon Lime for a true MDew taste. I would say 75% to 25% Of your flavor base.

By what brand Is Max Dew? Flavor express?

Max Dew was the name of the concentrates by both FW and TPA, but they have both since, been renamed. TPA has Citrus Punch and FW has Citrus soda. I am very close to ordering both as well as Dew Mountain by LB.

I have to get to the bottom of this Mountain Dew investigation; as soon as I have a good base, I can make any flavor of Mountain Dew.

I have made ALL my recipes from scratch. Example, a coconut cream pie has no coconut cream pie flavoring. I have drank Mt. Dew for over 40 yrs. the past 20 yrs. Diet Dew. My Wife HATES the taste of it! Now to My point… I mixed RF SC MTN Juice @ 4%, 1% Super Sweet (PUR) and had her try it. She spit and sputtered for 30 seconds, she said this tastes just like Mt. Dew… and it does. So far of the 39 RF SC I have, I’m not real impressed yet, but the MTN Juice is really good.

I might have to try this on my next real flavors order. I have the Baja Blast SC, but it failed to impress so I assumed it was using the MTN Juice as a base with a bit of Blue Raspberry. Perhaps it is better than the Baja Blast…

Every attempt at making Mt. Dew from scratch just turns into Sprite, lol.

Well you are definitely found it wrong then.

well, baja blast appears to be the crowd favorite. I posted a Pitch Black few months back, that was with a lot of assistance. I intended to not make it with one shots or a lot of sweetner. Now-a-days, its convient enough to make it with one-shots like grape soda and energy soda and whatnot. I’ve been mixing for about 3 years, and I don’t remember nearly as many one shots. I tried that new Dew-S-A flavor soda, tastes pretty good. I’m on this journey to find a substitute for the soda so I can stop drinking it

Which one shot flavors of regular Mt. Dew have you tried? I have FW Citrus Soda, TPA Citrus Punch, and LB Dew Mountain on the way, hoping for something comparable.

I tried Citrus Punch TPA, Mountain Dew Type by Delosi (I bought it a few years ago with a few other concentrates, I wasn’t pleased with any of them so I never bought from them again)… and that’s it really. I have few very one shots of anything. I think I have jungle juice, Shirley temple, and forest fruit, (all for my wife’s juice)

So after buying the FW, TFA, and LB versions of Mountain Dew, I have figured one thing out for sure; the FW version is gross. It is still between TFA and LB, but just going by smell, the TFA smells closer. I even had multiple people smell the concentrates to tell me which smelled more like the real thing, and every time, people told me TFA.

I did also notice that OoO has a Mountain Dew flavor, so I cannot help but try it. Has anyone around here tried that one?
