How long do you let it steep? A day, 2 days.
If I were to mix it today. I would go up 1% more on ripe strawberry and add 0.5 fresh cream. If I didn’t add any cream and wanted to vape as is I would steep for one week. I always find pinnapple to have a bit of bite.
cool, I just added 1% more ripe strawberry in. I’ll have to get some fresh cream FA. Do you find flavour art to be better than TPA?
As they say there is no one true king.
Haha. Fresh cream FA. Vienna cream FA and marshmallow FA are my three best mixing friends. If you add a little they hide there doing magical things without seeing them there. Add a bunch, yeah they try to take over the throne.
My kiwi recipie.
2% kiwi FA
2% kiwi double tpa
1% fresh cream
2% marshmallow FA
You can’t really taste the cream. Kiwi sits at top. Use 2% fresh cream the kiwi flavor drops…but you don’t tast the cream but yeah it’s trying to take over. The above is a recpie in progress and may swap out toasted marshmallow tpa in the future.
Since you don’t have the FA I’m guessing. In some ways just 1% Bavarian cream or malt milk tpa or other cream can come close to the effect…but the beauty of FA is if you don’t want to taste the milk but want the fuller effect FA is where it is at for me.
Many fruit flavorings use some amount of alcohol. Warm the mix bottle a little (just some warm tap water, keep under 120F to make sure flavors arent damaged) and leave it uncapped for at least a few hours and squeeze the air out of it once in a while. This should help speed up evaporating the alcohol out of the mix.
Thanks! I’ll get some FA to add to my increasing stock of flavors.
I’ll give that a shot on my next test run. Hopefully, that will work too. I ordered some FA a little while ago. I’ve seen a lot of recipes on this site for jade tiger using TPA in high percentages, they must be heating off the alcohol or I must be sensitive to it. My tastes buds seem to go dead and I get a sore throat at 20% flavor mix, jade tiger, using TPA and a few other brands. Seems like one or two of the fruit flavors have a chemical in it that isn’t suiting well. I’ve never seen this with Mr E Jade Tiger. Never have this problem when making a fresh batch of peanut butter vape. Thanks for the tip.
I’ve really only had one fruity vape make me cough and that was mixing with pina colds tpa.
As for airing out. To each there own. Never hurts to try since the end result just needs to make your self happy. Personally I guess I air them out for about 29 mins or so because I mix 9-12 or 11 bottles at a time. So they all sit until I add nic to all of them at one time.
Outside of that I personally don’t air out my mixes. The second my nic is added I close them up. They only get opened if I randomly want a snif test because I’m excited about a mix (Pistacio is my new love ). Then again I wait two weeks before I vape (even though some are good I’m sure at three-five days).
every flavor manufacturer has a purpose they all have their best and all work well together try not to get stuck on one , i did that with capella when i first started and realized id never come up with the juice i was looking for at the time have fun its an addicting thing this DIY my flavor stash is coming up to the 200 mark lol
whats a juice without diketones lol
Hey Chris, I was looking to see if I can check out some of your recipes, your favorites that is. I only see one posted. Can you share a few that I can try mixing? I’m going to try mixing the fruits without the warnings on them like TPA pineapple and coconut. Looks like FA coconut and pineapple have no warnings. The FA “msds” sheet checks for Diacetyl but Acetoin doesn’t appear to be tested for. Will wait till FA package comes in to mix again.

I know I only got one and it’s a wacky one. Most of what I have mixed are adaptations. They generally belong to folks like amy2, Lars, and provapes and like 5 other people.
The kiwi one is my main starting point for fruits because I can’t do stand alones.
I have one recipie almost ready to post…but the concept is close to many others posted. But it has a mix of watermelon INW, watermelon FA, ripe SB tpa, cucumber FA, koolada ecx, and so on.
As for fruity vapes…I have been playing with cats blood and tigers blood…I think those are the names.
Typically I pick the main flavor I’m looking for…like in your case strawberry ripe tpa. Then I look at 20 that has it in there. Then I pick a recpie that I have close to enough of the flavors an adapt from there. The biggest key is reading up on each flavor and building from there.
This one is one of our all day vapes

Recently updated to this for the following reasons:
Added Coconut Extra (TPA) for a more pronounced flavor profile & Cactus (INW) to bump up the fruit flavor.
Replaced Whipped Cream with Pyure for sweetness. Bumped up the watermelon flavor %s while dropping the coconut and strawberry %s.

Yup, on TFA and Capella especially, gotta steep em for at least 10 days after an hour in the UC they’re even better after three or four weeks.
My tigers blood is much simpler and super good I use it with a few other flavors like peach, nectarine, or apricot. Have even used it with peach and bourbon makes a very nice vape.
CAP Coconut 4
CAP Sweet Watermelon 6
TFA watermelon 2
CAP Strawberry 4
Mine was an exact clone originally that I improved with better flavor combinations. I worked on them for months and still tweaking. Not because it’s not right or great but always shooting for the best.
I think I made mine without then banana and used orange FA as a hidden element.
The banana cream in mine is very subtle. I can really only notice that it is there when I remove it.
Just checking back in - I got my package from Flavour Art and replaced the TPA coconut and pineaple with FA coconut/pineaple. There is no perfume or chemical taste even after vaping 5 mins after mixing! I’m sticking with this brand for a while. It’s a little filmy on my tongue; however, it’s hasn’t even steeped yet. Also, I mixed it at twice the flavor on my first run. FA is awesome. Thanks for all your help!
Pretty sure it’s the TPA Coconut… I went through the same exact issue… wasn’t until I tried the recipe without coconut that I realized it was the culprit! I see you have found the solution… real interesting how different everyone’s pallet is. Someone posted a recipe with 7.5% TPA Coconut and I was like repulsed. lol I even dialed it down to .25% and could still taste it… that’s when I tossed it down the drain!
I’m having a similar issue with raspberry flavors… so far I’ve tried both TPA and Inawera Raspberry and even at low percentages still perfumy!
same for me all my recipes are has perfume after taste even if percentage is low and after steep 3 weeks or 4 weeks
