If you’re still buying store bought juice, I highly suggest trying Bobas Bounty and/or Gryphons Breath by Alien Visions. Super nice tobacco vapes with a cigar-esque quality to them. They were the main juices that got me off the stinkies; the only premade juice I buy and never without it!

Only ever bought 2 fully brewd juices - my first juices ever - Castle Long & Enterprise ( a lucky but expencive stab in the dark I reckon…$90 landed…eeek). I have bought some over here, but we gotta ad our own nic which changes the game a bit …which is why I got into DIY. Concidering I was 1/2 way there already…
I did check out BB after you mentioned trying to clone it. It does sound most inviting,… so, when my wealthy uncle falls off his perch…

…& I can understand why you had trouble trying to clone the BB…sooooo complex…
Enterprise, on the other hand appears way more straight forward…its just that cursed cedar note!!

I mixed up what I consider Castle Long to be a while back, made improvements along the way and am finally happy with my fifth iteration. Pretty much one of my ADV.
I’ll probably have a VI, VII and VIII! …never enough tweaking!

Yes, I’ve seen that…& I drooled. I’m missing a few of those ingredients tho, but I’ll be gettn to it after the nxt shipment arrives!.
Speaking of shipments, my new flavors arrived this morn…eeeha! My first mix? a Castle Long clone - 1/3 Johnhall2, 1/3 EWS, 1/3 vonTrueso. I thought the original was a bit sweet so Ive swapped the BS & vanillin for marshmellow at 2%, & gone 1/2 way btween the rest of the measurements jh2 & EWS used. shake n vape seems pretty good, but I might be upping the bourbons a little …& maybe the almond after it’s sat for a couple of days (…but I know full well it aint gunna last a couple of days!).

2nd tank, & the marshmwllow seems to be adding enough sweet, but the mouthfeel is glorious. Ive never worked with mm before - amazing!

Well, have a blast with your new flavors!
My CL clone is a bit hardy on the tobacco and liquors, but that suits my taste. The edition I posted above is not yet public due to the INW cocopilada as a new/replacement addition to the mix; coconut cookie of sorts. That recipe is still in the steep process.

Hopefully I’ll get something I can share - there’s a couple of maybe’s there…maybe. But, not really having the experience yet to know what to look for in a steeping juice,…well… dont be holdin ur breath.

[/quote]is this a ‘bakery’ kind of coconut? A little bit sugary sweet with, well, almost a pie crusty thing going on?

Exactly! I made a mix called Coconut Gold RSV (public) which is super nice! My youngest daughter made me make 100ml for her immediately after she vaped my test batch. Love me some coconut!

…And u still dont know what it tastes like. Right?
Needless to say, cocopilada is now on my shopping list
Haha! I was fortunate enough to have vaped on the test batch for an evening before it was whisked out of my hands and house! The 100ml is still in my possession, soooooo, you know, my truck is kinda dirty…and I know someone who would be willing to wash it in exchange for her favorite juice! I’m not above extortion and bribery! (I’m a parent, after all!)

It is now and I made it with INW coconut cookies, steeping now 
Now this doesn’t look like dishwater. This is my first extraction experiment. I just dripped some and it is not concentrated enough. I could just use it as a juice with other tobaccos. It is very mild and a little sweet. The next batch will have way more tobacco in it, cedar paper is in the mail.

Nice! I usually make it with FA coconut, but I wanted to see if I could add a touch more soft and round mouthfeel with a coconut cookie, as you have! Should be good!

I know, I have V2 and V3 steeping since last month so they are actually ready to vape. Hadn’t gotten round to V4 yet and went straight to 5. I remember being very impatient with all this waiting for stuff to steep but now I have more ready than I can vape. It will take me months
You left the cigar passion out in this version.

The cigar passion wasn’t worth the percentage points; went with a Virginia, something I can actually put my finger/tastebuds on, taste wise.

oh, yeah…! 100ml is EASILY worth a grass cut as well…assuming you have grass…or maybe 3 nights dishes. Its not extortion…merely a fair exchange of energy!.. (yep, I’m a parent too!)

The second experiment is going to look and taste even better. Cedar paper is going to be delivered tomorrow, I will pack it tightly and leave it for about a month and then…
