Hello all! 
I started DIY mixing to try to make these two flavorsâŚ
The most recent bottle of coconut bay I purchased definitely has a pronounced banana flavor. It is described as a fresh coconut dipped in strawberry. But, the strawberry is not very strong, it was always coconut dominant. I liked it better without banana, but it is still ok, just makes it even harder to compare flavors since I dont necessarily want the banana. But if I can figure it out with banana and go from there, it is a start. I donât know if they changed the recipe, or if I got a newer bottle than those in the past and the Banana had faded out? Actually, I think it probably is the difference between using a beginnerâs set up with the rechargeable battery base and small tank on top, compared to my newer Kanger kbox 200 and crown tank. It probably is pulling out flavor notes that I did not notice before! I literally just thought of this!
The Carolina Menthol is described as being close to an analog menthol. Also, It is described elswhere as Carolina Red infused with Carolina Ice. I have 15ml of carolina ice juice. I bought the menthol sample pack (no nicotine) with a 25% off coupon. I added my own nicotine. I would gladly sacrifice the bottle of Carolina Ice to turn it into Carolina Menthol if I knew the right tobacco.
My crown tank uses juice so fast! And at 9.99 for 15ml or 19.99 for 30ml, I canât afford to keep these on hand. I emailed and begged for them to sell me the premixed flavor concentrates, but did not get a response.
I know these are not very popular flavors. I donât know how a small company like this ended up being sold in my local vape shop in a very small town in NE Pennsylvania. But, I am so glad it did! The Carolina Menthol tasted so good that I was able to easily switch to vaping. If I hadnât gotten the right juice that night, I might not have quit smoking!
I didnât realize all that went into cloning a flavor when I set out to clone these. But I am so glad that I tried it, because I have found a new passion in mixing flavors! I have not come up with anything on my own yet, but in time, I canât wait to be able to offer my own recipies to all of you as a thank you for all of the amazing recipies I have found here. 
I am proud to say that 90% of what I vape now is mixed by me! I love to cook and bake, and I havenât been able to do so in several years due to several pain issues that have caused me to have to leave my amazing job as well. This is my new form of cooking! I love it! Instead of an oven, I use a dark cabinet for steeping. Instead of measuring spoons, I use syringes, bottles instead of bowls! Lol!
Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated!
I have 10ml bottles of most of my flavors premixed at the recommended single flavor percentages so I can play around with flavors and learn their tastes. I had put together a recipe to try, I put it in my cleaned tank, and vaped a little. I used two drops of mixed up flavor with pg/vg per each percentage. So if itâs 3%, I used 6 drops. I added and adjusted the flavors as I vaped, and then I just got it. I vaped actual coconut bay after. Once the overlap of flavors passed, I thought that my mix tastes just like it. I know that the flavors I was using were diluted in different percentages. So, I have to see how my percentages work out mixing it all together then diluting them. But, now, I at least know all of the flavors that I need to mix. It is now posted for anyone else to try as my first public recipe. (Maybe I should actually wait until I mix it as a flavor and see how my percentages work)! I will warn you that it is very sweet. I have always enjoyed it mixed with the Carolina Menthol, this combo was my first ADV. I still need to figure out the carolina menthol. I am not planning on making them together as one recipe, even though I put them both in my tank at once. I know itâs weird, but I like the taste of them kind of being seperate flavors in my tank. I like the taste of them freshly combined. I dont want the 2 flavors to sit and completely mingle together, if that makes any sense! Lol! So, I made the flavor in an unconventional way, but, there should be a math eqation I can use to figure out how much of each flavor I actually used. For example, if I used 5% of a flavor that I had premixed at 3%, I should be able to figure out how much that actually is if I just think about it enough and do some different math equations to come up with the numbers I need. Thank you all so much for your help and inspiration!!
Youâre one of the lucky and talented ones!
Thank you again!
