@finrott hope you like! It's a good one

I do like this alot. Made up 30ml at 1mg and it's sweet and smooth with the cactus really juicing it up. Really great shake and vape. Appreciated.

#4 by Finrott, Jul 3. 2017, 13:26

Works as a max vg too I should add. Still has flavour.

This is great. My adv was just standalone sweet guava at 10%. But this just rocks. I use less flavor but get amazing ejuice. 5/5

Just came across this and 10 mins later I’m loving it. Two flavours that really complement each other. Might try increasing the guava by half a % but it doesn’t need sweetener for me. Thanks 🙏

#7 by Jellybean, Dec 31. 2017, 17:53

The original percentages were the best 👌

I actually really enjoy cactus at 2%, sweet guava at 1%, inw melon at .5%. The melon really rounds all the flavor out. It's great.

Thank you so much @hashslingingslashur, recipes like this have kept me off of cigarettes for 4 months now.

This is a seriously beautiful recipe. It's hard to believe that a simple (simple compared to some of the abominations on this website) recipe can pack such a punch. This works well with MTL + nic salts.

The actual flavour is hard to describe and as soon as you taste it you'll 100% understand the name. It's the perfect blend of sweetness and sharpness.

I'm vaping at 8w .80 ohms MTL and this is in my top 3 recipes of all time (right up there with coop34's kiwi cheesecake and his raspberry custard).

I did triple the flavouring percentages to account for low power/low airflow with MTL but have tried dripping this with the recommended percentages and it's divine.

This is good. Gonna try it with some grapefruit to get it close to the original. But this is amazing by itself.

I'm shocked that it's so unknown here. This is an all-time classic recipe. Throw some WS-23 in it too.

#12 by Bgnagn1, Nov 5. 2018, 01:04

I'm pretty new to the DIY scene here, but I tried it and it's pretty good. Thanks for sharing. Makes it easier for beginners like me to find something we like. :)

Yes, It's pretty sweet. Tastes like a guava marmalade. It's good to rotate it with other e liquids, because in my experience it can be a bit strong for an all day vaping.
I will keep using this recipe for those moments when all the eliquid is steeping and I haven't anything good to vape. This delicious marmalade will save me then.

(spot on guava with floral notes, sweet)

Simple yet yummie recipe with only 5% flavor. Pretty amazing. Good job and thanks for sharing!

Wow, I have had these 2 for awhile but never thought about this combination. Two great solo flavors create such an amazimg recipe. Have enough complexity and flavor for ADV. I use 6% SG and 1.5% Cactus for pod and mtl.

#16 by D00m, Sep 21. 2019, 00:42

Sweet and juicy, mmm mm.

#17 by RedNez, Oct 12. 2019, 23:24

I made this half a year ago and i forgot it, i tried it today and it's really smooth and nice, thanks

#18 by Woodsxdragon , Oct 29. 2019, 21:56

I added a couple drops of ws-23. Totally awesome.

#19 by skruball22, Nov 21. 2019, 17:52

Nice simple recipe. Hadn't thought to add WS-23, I'll give that a go next time!

#20 by Monkeywrench , Mar 4. 2020, 04:37

I’m New to diy, and I’m so glad I found this recipe. Super simple and oh so tasty!

#21 by kamanza, Mar 27. 2020, 23:14

Very nice. Thanks.

#22 by Myke, Apr 2. 2020, 02:16

Nice mix. Enjoying it in an Profile RDA.Thanks.

#23 by Steve TC, Apr 6. 2020, 00:33

Nice recipe! Thank you for sharing.

#24 by Nishidake, May 30. 2020, 05:47

This was really good right off the shake. Perfect for summer. I'll definitely mix it agan. I think next time I'll try it with some Koolada or WS-23 for a little ice.

#25 by Soilent, Jun 2. 2020, 11:47

I adapted this one and going to try it with 0.5% of Spearmint (Cap).

#26 by Brumsfinest, Jul 4. 2020, 14:33

2 flavour banger!! Great recipe mate! Bit much on the Cactus at first but after a couple of days...amazing!!

#27 by pointless, Aug 8. 2020, 15:00

It's good, but in my experience doesn't work well as an ADV as it can be a bit heavy on the throat after a few tanks. Not sure if it's the cactus or the guava. Will probably work better after some steep to get rid of some of the harsher notes.

#28 by Wolffy, Sep 13. 2020, 22:08

Really enjoyed this recipe. Has a nice throat hit to it even at low nic %. I cant stand smooth recipes with zero throat hit, always makes me hiccup.
Even did another mix with 2% Cap pom
=^>

#29 by Euklid, Oct 8. 2020, 14:22

not bad. after shake and vape it tastes 'green'

#30 by jbitts, Oct 14. 2020, 05:18

good recipe for both DL and MTL but when making it for MTL you need to double the flavorings for sure.

#31 by MysteryGame, Jul 14. 2021, 20:52

Pretty good, i might up the flavors a bit and I think the favor fades with time

#32 by domino, Aug 3. 2022, 10:51

Thank you for sharing. Tastes awesome, mixed a batch, added some cooling to help with the heatwave. Getting ready to mix a new batch.

#33 by lemonhaze, Oct 29. 2022, 17:48

Swap the Sweet Guava for Flavorah's Pink Guava - even better.

#34 by Harlots_hello, Feb 23. 2023, 19:54

my 2nd mix ever. Full on guava, cant taste cactus much, but guess it adds the juiciness. A bit of a harsh throat hit after 2 day steep, gonna let the rest sit more.
