I have added over 25 flavors to my flavor stash and most of them have not came in the mail yet, right now i have
TFA- Vanilla bean ive cream, cap- butter, TFA- strawberry, TFA_ bavarian cream, TFA- DragonFruit, TFA-Watermelon, TFA- Ethyl Maltol, and lastly TFA- banana cream. Here comes my question though, is there a way on the flavor stash I can look for recipes that i can make using just some of these flavors? I have tried What can I make and also Search but anytime i choose more than one flavor the recipes disappear because I think it is looking for a recipe that contains all of the flavors I checked. Anyone know how to fix this or know any good recipes with the flavors I listed?
I made Nana Cream 15% and also I made Strawberry ice cream
Thank you!
If you search by āWhat can I makeā it will search the data base for recipes that only have the exact same flavors as you.
If you do a search and say you check CAP butterā¦it will bring up all the recipes that have CAP butter.
If you check CAP butter and also check TFA watermelon, it will search for recipes containing CAP butter AND TFA watermelon.
It is very specific and by vendor onlyā¦it wont show you all the recipes with any watermelon, only TFA watermelon.
Hope that makes sense
Also, make sure youāre entering your flavors in your stash correctly. For TFA/TPA flavors, the most common (ie ācorrectā) way to enter them is Flavor Name (TPA)ā¦so itād be Watermelon (TPA). Most of the flavors are listed this way. If in doubt, when it pops up with options, just make sure you pick the one that has the most recipes with it (the number in green).
I checked out your stash, it the names look good. āWhat can I makeā should give you all recipes that you can make with those exact flavors. There might not be many, because you donāt have many
I added my shopping cart to my stash, thought ok now I should get some resultsā¦ Naā¦ My stash of 30 flavors yields 8 results that arenāt what id put as a recipe, and more of just your basic combinations
Ill be adding to my cart though now that Iāve started Iām hooked on trying everything
Have a few blends that Iām working on that have been able to reach that month+ steep so hopefully Iāve got recipes to add to the mix soon
Every recipe I tried tastes terribleā¦ Made it exactly what the recipe called forā¦ Not really sure why
Could you post one or two of your mixed recipes with %'s and batch size etc.?
Do you use nicotine? If so, where do you buy it from?
I am on my phone right now so I cannot provide links. I bought my nic from MFS. I only made flavors with very good reviews that had at least 30 rating on them. The flavors are
Unicorn milk clone
Bust a nut
Sucker punch
Third world custard
6% tigers blood
And some lesser known recipes were strawberry ice cream and also nana cream 15%
I made them exactly how the recipe stated and they all just do not taste even remotely good.
How long they steep for? Not familiar w the recipes off top but imagine at least two need a couple weeks. The milk and custard, no idea on the 6%, punch, or the nut recipe
Iād check steep time, and how did you measure your %?
Have about 5 ml of unicorn milk from April one profile I havenāt had the urge to make but love the unicorn milk
Let another companies āVersionā of this flavor profile sit since Feb and still tastes the sameā¦ 8 months later SMH
Unless theyāve changed, MFS Nic is usually pretty good. Iāll echo what @TRisin said, creams and custards typically take awhile to develop. I tried the Tigerās blood myself and didnāt care for it, but thatās just me. Are you measuring by weight, syringe, or drops? What is your PG/VG ratio? Any chance you can explain WHY they donāt taste good to youā¦like what about them isnāt good? Too much of a certain flavor, not enough flavor, too dry, sour, harsh, etc.? Do you have any store bought juice that tastes good to you?
I would suggest to start by vaping your PG and your VG all by themselves to make sure theyāre okay. Then do an unflavored mix with Nic and PG/VG. Then start by doing one flavor mixes to see if you even like the flavors you are using and to get a feel for what flavor % you like. Then, start combining two flavors you think would be good together. It sounds like a lot of work and time, and it is, but it is worth it.ee
I just shook them with a skil saw and vaped them. No steep time. Iām letting them steep now
steeping is essential for most flavors even when they are "shake and vape "steeping will make them even betterā¦
My ratio on most is max vg but 2 recipes they are 70 vg 30 pg. The reason why they donāt taste good is they almost all have a bad aftertaste and while āpuffingā they all have a bad flavor. I can not distinguish between any of the flavors.
I have bought some store liquid from a company in my state called " ecig crib" the flavor was pinĆ colada. It tasted SOOO good. I bought a 0.01 scale and do all of my measurements with the scale.
When I get home from work I will mix a batch up of some vg and pg and nic. It just hurts my DIY spirits because of the 7 recipes I made, 7 of them didnāt taste good even with very good reviews.
My goal for this was to find one or two recipes that would be daily vapes and just vape on them for w couple months until I got bored of the flavor.
Yes I know they will make them better but literally I do not think any of these flavors could be any worse. Maybe my taste buds are shot but Iāve had to resort back to my ego style battery thatās pushing out 3.7V with store bought menthol flavor sadly.
idk itās strange that they all taste the same. maybe itās something thatās common in all of them??
Just the after taste but when I bought some liquid from a website called āvapewild.comā it kind of had the same taste. So maybe I just donāt as much VG in my liquid?? Could the majority of VG in my liquid cause a bad aftertaste?
Try making a batch without flavoring - and try one without nicotine as well - see if you can pin-point the culprit.
PG is said to be better at carrying flavors than VG. Personally, Iām not a huge fan of high VG, but I seem to be in the minority. I feel like VG kinda has a weird soap taste. Maybe itās my VG or maybe itās just me. If ALL the flavors youāre trying have the same effect, than Iād definitely take a good look at the common element in themā¦PG, VG, and Nic unless thereās a certain flavor that you used in all of them. You can vape straight VG and PG. That should give you a good idea if itās one of those. Then, if you donāt think either of those are what the problem is, make a 50/50 VG/PG blend with nicotine and see if that still tastes okay.
I understand how frustrating it can be to have nothing turn out, especially when youāre first starting. Donāt give up yet. Iād say that maybe one in ten of my mixes when I first started actually tasted good. Now, I get closer to 50-75% good mixes, but I still have days where nothing seems to be going well.
Also, try to test at different times of the day or on different days. All sorts of things can affect your tasteā¦being sick, what youāve eaten, being dehydrated, being flavor/scent overloaded, even your pH.
In addition to checking your supplies maybe try some single flavors?.. Havenāt used any of those TFA but couple I have really donāt taste right for a couple days, and not familiar w CAP butter either.
If your pg/vg/nic doesnāt taste ābadā then id check your flavors, again some of these mixes NEED to steep or isnāt going to be very tasty. Tobacco seems popular on here and theyāre waiting a month in a lot of cases for the right vaping experience
