I think i have to give up on DIY

Hey @Samsound How does the FA coconut compare to the TPA and CAP? To me the cap is sweeter than the TPA and mellower as well. Sometimes the TPA seems a bit harsh in my recipes

Yeah Iā€™ve done that a lot when creating. Rule of thumb is 20 drops equal 1 ml. but there are so many variableā€™s itā€™s not super to rely on. I actuall use a 1 ml syringe now itā€™s marked for very small amounts and itā€™s easier to get say 1/4 ml than with say a 5 or 10 ml syringe.

Mine is out there and I just added a new recipe today, itā€™s pretty simple and I love it. I have about 30 active vapeable ones, I donā€™t know why I put off adding them. Iā€™ll get em on here sooner or later.

Be right back I gotta go burn some chicken titties*

*BBQ some chicken breasts.

Iā€™ve used the Cap more than the FA, and even that was a bit of a struggle. So, I canā€™t really compare the two.
However, one of my new recipes Iā€™m still cooking up has the FA, so maybe Iā€™ll be able to get a vibe about it.

@DrizzleDrops
First of all, are you only trying to make a menthol flavor?

I just got my first bottle of it and am going to use it in probably 3 to 4 weeks. Iā€™ve got a 240 of MF Smoothie steeping and a 100 ml in use so itā€™ll be a bit before I do another batch and figured that one is so good I canā€™t screw it up by swapping the coconut. So Iā€™ll do a small test batch and then go from there. In the beginning I tried the FW and immediately tossed it out it just wasnā€™t my cup of coconut. then the TPA Coconut ex and found it to be good but strong. Then the Capella and it was perfect, but NR was out of it so I decided to try the FA.

i love menthol and i only smoked menthol cigs but menthol is very powerfull so i was trying to mix with out it for a while

just to get a base then add menthol latter possibly

I had a lot of difficulty with coconut at first. I was still fairly new, and couldnā€™t get the flavor to pop in my Blue Tropic. Tried both, and eventually went with a typical percentage of the CAP and just left it alone for a while. I can taste it now, lol.

Nude nicotine is another fine premium nicotine vendor. itā€™s expensive but good stuff. you can get a small bottle to sample for free, I suggest you go to https://www.nudenicotine.com/nicotine-sample-request/ and get a bottle of 100mg/ml at your desired PG/VG mix and just pay shipping. Then when you get it you can dilute it down to a usable strength (I do 36mg/ml). shipping is about $2.75.

@DrizzleDrops ā€“ Since I donā€™t think anyone has suggested this yet, have you tried mixing with just single flavors? You might find something you like that way. What I would do is look up your flavor and see what the median % of single flavor recommendations is. So for example, this is TPAā€™s coconut extra:


Mix that up at 4% and leave it alone for a week. Do that to all your flavors if you have enough bottles. :wink:
Then you can start tasting each one, mix two together, three together, etc. Go slow and see which combos you like. For instance, say you mix up strawberry ripe at 10% and coconut extra at 4%. You might mix half and half in your tank and think itā€™s pretty good. At that point youā€™d know you could make a mix thatā€™s somewhere around 5% sb and 2% coconut.
Good luck, and donā€™t give up! Like someone already mentioned, $100 is the cost of just a few bottles of ā€œpremiumā€ juice from a vape shop. Youā€™ve got the potential to save tons of $$$ if you stick with it. Everyone here is always eager to help!

Donā€™t give up dude! If I can do this then so can you :smiley:

From the tiny bit of experience I have so farā€¦ I only started mixing last night! I found a single flavour worked wonderfully well. Just look for some single flavour mixes and adapt them to suit your nic/vg/pg.

I used the vanilla bean ice cream from CAP. perfect shake and vape. Had people at work asking if I would make it for them already today.
