#7 by HarrySmooth, Sep 11. 2015, 16:28

Ahh Dont Bash yourself Spinneroo.....we ALL had to start Somewhere!! And Trust me, Darth is a PLETHORA of Information, that he is NOT Shy about Sharing!!! You have but to Ask!!!!

#8 by DarthVapor, Sep 11. 2015, 16:54

Nah don't put yourself down spin! Once you get familiar with your flavors, personal taste and %s you will be able to create your own stuff in no time! If you need help or suggestions, ask away!

#9 by Elites, Sep 15. 2015, 21:03

@DarthVapor First of all thank you so much for sharing your great recipes; I am going to make tonight (will post the result later once it done steeping) by any chance do you recommend steep time?
Also could you please recommend any of yours Strawberry/Blueberry Custard recipe? Thanks a lot.

#10 by DarthVapor, Sep 15. 2015, 22:39

Thanks Elites! This was the only juice I can actually stand TFA's Blk Berry in!
I didn't come back to try this mix until 2 weeks after I made it but you may be able to get by after a week? I like to steep any of my cream juices for at least a week. Even if you use water baths, mixers, spinners, etc IMO there's nothing that beats good old time, especially on creams.
As far as the recommendations I have a lot on here with 100s yet to post when I find time but people seem to really like Red, white & Blue, Dragon whip, Albino smurf, French smurf and blood red dragon to name a few?

#11 by SthrnMixer, Oct 23. 2015, 19:45

I'm surprised at this one @DarthVapor. Until I made this I had never found much use for TPA's Blackberry. It tastes like grandma's bath soap or something. But in this recipe I really quite like it. And it inspired me to give BB another try. I'm releasing Crema Mora tjek.nu/r/2hFn which your recipe inspired me to make. I love Dragonberry though, very nice Darth!

#12 by DarthVapor, Oct 23. 2015, 21:00

No shit right!! I can't stand the TFA BB but I gave it one last try with this recipe and I was surprised at how much it worked!! Even after I made it I could still smell the crap and figured it was going to be a dud but it wasn't!

Thanks Southern! I'll check out your recipe when I get home because I have 4oz of that BB crap and any chance I have to use it, I will!!
Thanks brother

#13 by espkh123, Nov 5. 2015, 04:26

Hey I ended up making a lot of your recipes lol!

I really like the flavor of my dragon fruit so I cut the 7% Ripe Strawberry to 3%. The flavor is excellently balanced at this blend for me.

Also, I used Vanilla Swirl TFA instead of french vanilla.

Once I get more flavors I will try it your way, but for now, thanks for the great recipe!

#14 by DarthVapor, Nov 5. 2015, 05:04

No problem! Doesn't matter how ya mix it, just as long as you like it!
Cheers

#15 by MASOXIZT, Nov 9. 2015, 08:54

What does th SG stand for?

#16 by DarthVapor, Nov 9. 2015, 16:05

Specific gravity

#17 by Tank, Nov 28. 2015, 23:12

Was it mixed by weight or mLs? If by weight wouldn't the mLs just need to be adjusted slightly to do the correct mix?

#18 by DarthVapor, Nov 29. 2015, 00:33

The SG of most flavors are 1 anyways +/- .05 so it really doesn't make a difference. There are a few flavors like CAP's yellow peach that are 1.48. So if you mix by weight 3% yellow peach is really only around 1.5 if you follow me. I personally make all my recipes by weight and just leave the SGs at 1 because for 1 there isn't info on ALL flavor's SGs and 2 like I said the differences are so small you wouldn't notice.
If you mix by volume it would still come out to be the same, with the only exception being rare cases like the yellow peach.
I sign all my recipes with "All flavorings at 1 SG" for those people that take the pain staking route of using all their flavor's SG to mix.

#19 by Pat_P, Jan 11. 2016, 10:55

Amazeballs!! Made 50 ml to test, barely steeped as i watched it dissappear. Maybe a large batch next time. Keep the great recipes coming Darth. Strong with the cloud side are you! 👍

#20 by v8taz, Jan 11. 2016, 23:07

Tried this after an initial hot bath (had to substitute French Vanilla V2 tpa) notice a floral hint so waited a week and still taste the flowers. Do you have any tips? I'm fairly new at mixing but have had some success thanks to this source thank you for posting this.

#21 by Sean C, Feb 17. 2016, 17:13

Great vape! Tastes just like one of my favorite juices from a B&M. I didn't care for it as a S&V but after 10 days it's delicious.

#22 by DarthVapor, Feb 17. 2016, 17:21

Glad you like it sean! Thanks! This was one of my first mixes ages ago!

V8taz, strange? Do you mix by weight or volume? Are you subbing any flavor companies here?

#23 by v8taz, Feb 17. 2016, 17:36

Darth, I had to sub Vanilla (Cap) with vanilla 2(tpa). I have since gotten some Vanilla Cap in and going to mix a new batch when I get home. As a note the floral is pretty much gone now. Also I was mixing by volume have switched to weight. Lol live and learn all of you on here have helped improve my juice a lot. Thank you.

#24 by DarthVapor, Feb 17. 2016, 17:49

I'm guessing you are getting that floral from one of those flavors, maybe the tfa. I'm only guessing, since I don't have those but not every flavor is a "good" flavor and can get chemically/floral at different levels.
I have around 80 flavors that I don't use and have learned the hard way.
Not every strawberry is a good strawberry type of thing.

Again that's just my guess and if I had those flavors I would be able to help more. Trqil and error and don't let it get your spirits down ;-)

#25 by Kris-p flavour, Mar 15. 2016, 07:10

I'm looking forward to trying this, but I'll swap TPA Blackberry for FLV Boysenberry, let's see how it goes!

#26 by OrganicCloudz, Mar 18. 2016, 20:04

I knocked up a small sample of this about an hour ago. Is it just me or is the hardest part of DIY knowing that you have a bottle of tasty juice that you can't touch for a couple of weeks! Lol

Has anyone tried this S&V? I'm vaping some old watermelon at the moment from my early days and it's really boring me...

#27 by OrganicCloudz, Mar 18. 2016, 20:06

Oh also I forgot to mention... My Nicotine is PG based, will it make much difference on the flavour?

#28 by SS, May 7. 2016, 03:05

Great. I've been trying to think of what i can do with that Blackberry...lol..Perfect, will make some up tomorrow. Thank you

#29 by DarthVapor, May 7. 2016, 04:07

Sorry for the delay Organic. If your nic is PG based and you are using straight VG for the base. Nah. If anything it may pop a bit more but I personally don't notice that drastic of a difference in juice, until you get 50/50 or higher
Thanks guys! Don't let the blackberry bring you down!! lol

#30 by COFMixture, May 21. 2016, 18:47

Made this yesterday and substituted raspberry for blueberry, also added 1% koolada for a nice cooling effect

After a shake and vape the flavours seemed a meddled, but after just an overnight steep it's very very nice. Well done

#31 by The_Ckemist, Jul 7. 2016, 12:58

TPA blackberry, it's like the only flavour I don't own out of hundreds lol, so I'm thinking I might try 2% fa Fuji instead,

#32 by QB's, Aug 11. 2016, 14:19

Well said Darth about blackberry tpa, its damn shit stuff. I will be trying mixing it today with butter cream and cake batter dip and some other sweet stuff @ 1 % and see how it goes with this failure flavor or rat poison one lol. I will try yours too.

#33 by The_Ckemist, Aug 19. 2016, 12:43

DarthVapor. Do u have any other recommendations instead of blackberry ( as I don't have it lol ) I mean I don't have any blackberry period lol, I have plenty of other fruits though lol

#34 by DougC, Sep 4. 2016, 23:16

Very nice! They said it couldn't be done, but you took the TPA blackberry challenge and nailed it! Well played sir.

#35 by The_Ckemist, Jan 9. 2017, 18:11

I want to make this so bad, but I'm so tempted to make it without the blackberry lol, I may make two batches and compare them, I hate that blackberry, is it good in this recipe, I mean normally it sucks right lol

#36 by DarthVapor, Jan 9. 2017, 18:16

Yeah the blackberry is rubbish, haha. I made this recipe in the hopes I could make it work and possibly "disguise" that nasty flavor. I must say I was suprised that it actually works here. Would I buy the blackberry again? Hells no! But at least it wasn't a total loss. I say if you have it, it's worth giving it a try, just don't bother buying it because I wouldn't use it again.
It's been ages since I have had this juice, I made this recipe for those whom have it and can't use it in anything else.

#37 by DarthVapor, Jan 9. 2017, 18:21

To captian vapor or anyone else that want to sub out the BB for something else..
Personally I haven't made any variations of this, but if I had to swing a guess, I would play around with some other dark fruits, ie blueberry, currant or any other fruits you like. It's a quite simple recipe, so it should be forgiving with whatever you add to it.

Thanks to everyone, I appreciate the comments and glad we found a use for this rancid flavor, besides rat poison or killing a small village ;)

#38 by The_Ckemist, Jan 9. 2017, 18:24

Think I will try 1% blueberry Wilde with 1% blueberry extra, as blackberry scares me massively after the last time I tried it lol

#39 by DarthVapor, Jan 9. 2017, 18:26

Well if you are feeling ambitious, I would give it a try with the BB too. You will find yourself suprised and may even be able to use it elsewhere, knowing it can be redeemed lol

#40 by The_Ckemist, Jan 9. 2017, 18:33

I will try both ways buddy, as why not ha, cheers

#41 by Ponduzn, Feb 19. 2017, 18:39

Really nice vape, thank you!

#42 by Josh's2hi4U2C, Apr 29. 2017, 01:34

will dragon Fruit by Flavor West work in you recipes instead of DF by tfa?

#43 by DarthVapor, Apr 29. 2017, 02:31

I would have to say no, if you want the same taste as this. It may be a completely different juice you like, but personally I don't use FW flavors. I find most of them to be too candy-like/artificial for my taste. If you like FW DF, then by all means give it a try!

#44 by Josh's2hi4U2C, Apr 29. 2017, 15:08

I trust your Judgment, thats why I just ordered some Dragon Fruit TFA, so many people had bad things to say about FW. thanks for responding, im just going to have to wait until it comes in....., I made 2 recipes with the DF FW and Im gunna let them sit for a week or 2, then Ill try them and let you know, what I think, but your the DarthVapor, master of mixes, from what I hear and see. I just have to play the waiting game.lol

#45 by DarthVapor, Apr 29. 2017, 15:23

Haha thanks man, but alas...just a mere mortal ;)

#46 by Josh's2hi4U2C, Apr 29. 2017, 15:49

I know Cuz, that was my way of giving you props : )

#47 by stastny, May 23. 2017, 20:34

gooood stuffff!

#48 by enjoilife823, Jun 6. 2017, 00:22

Great recipe man, easily makes my top three.

#49 by Aunvik, Jun 20. 2017, 20:46

Do you think this will work without the blackberry? Maybe use 3% blueberry cinnamon crumble instead?

#50 by VClapper, Dec 7. 2017, 23:36

Hey man what website do you get your flavors from?

#51 by DarthVapor, Dec 8. 2017, 00:39

Typically, Bullcity, but occasionally Poland for INW

#52 by Beret, Jan 1. 2018, 21:56

Can I swap out the Bavarian Cream (TPA) for (FW)

#53 by DarthVapor, Jan 1. 2018, 22:44

I have no idea what it will be like, I don't use FW. Sorry

#54 by Hop2jr, Apr 27. 2018, 07:03

Did have French vanilla used vanilla swirl tpa came out great it is now my everyday vape! Thank you DarthVapor for the awesome mix! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#55 by Jayhuz , Aug 4. 2018, 21:44

Want to try this think my blackberry is super concentrate try and cut it in half i gues

#56 by SnakeGB, Dec 13. 2018, 11:02

Really love this it's like smooth jelly

#57 by Stoepa, Jan 17. 2021, 16:41

Damn, this is really good. We'll done even 6 years later.

#58 by DarthVapor, Jan 21. 2021, 05:35

Wow, this one brings me back to the old days!! Glad to hear people are still getting use out of this mix! Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback!!
