To those people asking how they can tweak/modify/etc to a higher VG, you can't. If you try to, you will unbalance the flavors. This recipe is 25% pg minimum. If these vendors offer PG free alternatives of the same flavor, you can use them to minimize PG usage, but you will still only have 75% VG max.
Very good recipe, one of my favorites, but not an easy mix! I used a 1/2 ml and 1ml insulin syringe with the needless cut off to mix a lot of the flavors.
You've got that right! I made a 10 ml test batch that was gone in a couple of days (bit that was hard he he) / then made a 30 ml batch that is almost gone! I guess its time for a 60ml batch now to see how long that one lasts! Guys, if your on the ropes about making this one, it is well worth it! One of my favorite diys!
so Shaky, what did you think? Eternity (I know you dont have to slap me for the spelling) is an awesome mixer.... going to have to try all of his concoctions/recipes at some time or the other!
Thanks for the kind words matt. If you try more and improve on the recipes, I'd love to know. Some of them have been abandoned in the R&D phase but all the publics ones are listed as "good enough" in my book haha.
Et3m1ty this is a lovely mix at the moment it's still steeping but it smells awesome I've added it to my recipes hope you don't mind, also had a look at your other recipes witch look very interesting
Matt can't wait to start vaping it lol
It's not just about profit. It's about reach. If we can reach 10,000 of thousands with your recipe instead of a message board it would beneficial to everyone. Profit isn't a bad thing :) Well, anyways. If you reconsider and want to develop eliquids for us and make some money doing it you know where to reach me. Cheers.
why do I think making this without a single drop of Orange Cream is gonna suck? lol, the only flavor I don't have!. I'm getting too dementedly obsessed with DIY. Oh wait! and I have TFA Pear instead of FA Pear! and Toasted Marshmallow instead of Marshmallow! Gonna just pull a Robin Williams, fuck it ;)
It probably won't suck. But the orange cream provides an essential flavor component. Also, I'm pretty sure tfa pear sucks, and toasted marshmallow has a flavor where marshmallow just tends to provide mouthfeel/density to the vape.
You're a genius... anyway you can help me with a booster anti-lag clone.im totally baffled and cant afford $30 a bottle. Thanks in advance. waycoolvintage@Hotmail.com
Thanks a bunch for posting this recipe, it looks deliciously amazing!!! I just ordered everything to make it from Wizard Labs ($1.49/ea flavor).... I had to get (LA) Marshmallow since they were out of the others, so fingers crossed it won't make too much of a difference. Gotta figure out how to tweak it to 15/85 PG/VG using 36mg Nicotine at 4mg overall. I can't wait to try it! Thanks again!!
Holy Moly!
i just made this yesterday, and i couldnt let it steep more than 1 day, then i had to try it, and omg my mouth got blowned.. this taste just a little bit like mothers milk, and that was my adv, but from now on i will defiently make this instead and saving money.. Thank you so much..
I've made this recipe 5 or 6 times now, recently in 60ml batches at a 50/50 PG/VG level, and even though I'm sure the different companies will give an optimal result, I only have the TPA versions of the flavours listed and it's still a fantastic end result.
et3rn1ty is a brilliant mixer.
I vape so much of this I now have it steeping for a month as I make so much and I can tell you it just gets better the longer you leave it
I make 100ml at a time so I'm doing about 300ml a month I also vape custard witch I don't do so much of
Et3m1ty you need to make a custard because if it's as good as this wow
Its good but nothing has been able to beat out or compare to the honey peary clone, its easy, simple, spot on and everyone loves it around me. Including me but it sucks being stuck with one flavors. So this is a good side vape but its not quite good enough for a real adv
This juice is AMAZING. It makes me feel better about investing in DIY eJuice. It tastes delicious right off the bat, but it gets even better after steeping (5 days thus far). Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
I'm still amazed at the popularity of this recipe. I feel like I could almost start a premium juice company and people would actually pay premiums for this haha
Really good custard/cream vape. Made it as instructed and I like it a lot. It has a slight dry note/tingle on the exhale as most creams and custards do. It is a little costly to mix but totally worth it if your looking for something like this.
Just curious if you can sub out TPA Coconut for Coconut Extra? I don't have the extra but heard you can just the % and it should be the same. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Just finished making it. Look forward to trying it out. I feel like I've been waiting ages for all the ingredients to get here, now finally!! How long do you recommend it steep before trying it out? Thanks for the recipe! Made 100ml based on all the great reviews! C:
Awesome recipe! It's a good shake and vape but after about 10 days steeping it turns a golden yellow and its mind blowing. Thanks for the share and look forward to your other creations as well
@juiceologist no, strawberry ripe is a completely different flavor from CAP sweet strawberry. You can try it out but it will taste much different than the intended recipe.
Thanks. I have 15ml of this mixed up and the only thing it's missing is the strawberry. Since you're an expert, could you please take a look at my stash and recommend 3 flavors you think this would work with? I'd make a 5ml bottle of each and would let you know how each one tastes. I haven't tried 80% of my flavors since I only got them a couple of days ago. Here's my stash - http://i.imgur.com/MK0larm.png
@juiceologist lol good luck making a 5ml with some of these flavor percentages (.2% is basically a quarter of a drop in 5ml). I also have not tried 80% of your flavors haha. Try it with the TPA strawberry, it'll probably come out good.
This is a good mix and I enjoy it as well as several of my coworkers. I made 500 Ml as its a pain to mix. It turned orange color in a little over a day and I let it steep for a week. It has a interesting inhale with fruit and a little tang to it and then a smooth fruity exhale with notes of honey. I will probably make this again down the road. Thanks for the mix!
Ive waited nearly a year to get the goods to get this together, never thinking that i could and wow this is just beyond belief. Words cannot express how good it is. Thank you very much mr Eternity. I will see you at the end :) (with my tank full of zoochberry cream)
Is the fa pear sweet? Im going with caps pear with stevia..should i dial back on the peat? Also i dont have orange cream, but i do have some rainbow sherbert will that be zoochberry enough? Lol love the starwars references throughout your juice recipes :) when will you make a zoochberry pie? ?!?!
@danbrochill thanks for noticing the theme hahaha. The pear isn't noticeable but it adds a slightly earthy undertone and meshes well. The orange cream is essential as it adds a tartness to the custard flavor. I've never tried rainbow sherbet but I don't think its a viable replacement
@et3rn1ty so cap pear it is, the tfa rainbow sherbert has a nice mix of smooth/tart sherbert citrus notes with a decent creaminess. Im going to acuire the orange cream eventually thinking next month and ill compare the two. From the effect you described the orange cream giving i think it will fair nicely in this application, ill let you know monday !
Been steeping for a week as well and it still doesn't taste quite right ,I notice on vapecrafter it has this same recipie naming you as the creator but it calls for 1% Ethyl maltol and here on ELR it does not ... I'm wondering if I should add that to my mix ?
Now listen to this folk, this recipe was not vapable after 20 days, but after 30 days i see myself making more of this. It has something refreshing on exhale.
I love this, I haven't had to pear so I have been using juicy peach and it works fine. I ordered the pear so can't wait till I get it. My adv for over a month now. Thank you eternity!
This has become a great vape. This is the first time I've used Dragon fruit. It's different from what I'm used to which is great when I need a change of pace. Nice recipe.
im gonna give this a try. have all the missing ingredients in a cart ready to purchase on payday. ill be subbing the cap v1 vanilla custard with tpa vanilla custard cus i like that one more and ill give a hoot next week once its done with my liking/disliking
Originally i created a 50ml bottle of this as per original recipe, tbh wasnt overly impressed to begin with (after a 7day steep) so put it away , pulled it out again after 2-3 weeks and it tasted much better , so much so i have just knocked up a 100ml and put it away for next months supply
Big thanks to the O_P , very nice of you to spend your time sharing your discoveries , mucho appreciatto !!!
I will need let this one steep. I don't see many answers to the steeping question. Freshly mixed this tasted like cut grass that's been sitting in a bin for a few hot summer days. Don't know if this is what custard tastes like fresh or what but it almost makes me gag.
How long are you folks waiting before this turns into the magical mix represented by the 60 or so reviews?
mine was good right from the get go. i get a fair bit of the coconut extra at first but i let it steep for a week and it smoothed out. the nasty taste youre getting may be from a bad batch/expired flavoring. it may even be from the bottle itself being cleaned the wrong way or many other things. just my 2 cents. i could be wrong
All the the flavors were newly opened. I had to piece together my last order from a few suppliers. TPA, Wizard Labs and Bull City Vapors. Not sure how I would know which flavor would be bad. I had a couple people try it and I got the same response.
Was kinda hoping it just needed to steep. Didn't know what the custard should taste like as I've never used it but have always heard long steep times were necessary.
I mixed this up yesterday exactly as stated apart from I used TPA Pear. I'm getting cut grass too, tastes absolutely rank at the moment. Hoping after a few weeks steep it comes to life.
Not sure how you guys are getting a cut grass flavor... The most dominating flavor in the mix is the Custard. The custard is pretty sweet and a little sickly at first. Make sure you're using high quality PG/VG and fresh nicotine. I also haven't purchased any of these flavors recently so I would check with your vendors to see if they've changed them at all.
iCloud - Did you by chance get your CAP Sweet Strawberry from Wizard Labs. Smell it and tell me if it's the culprit in your mix.
I've narrowed down the cut grass flavor and aroma to one specific flavor. It's without a doubt the Capella Sweet Strawberry. I went through each of the flavors one by one and got to Sweet Strawberry and gagged on decaying grass. It's an unmistakeable smell and dominates my Zoochberry Cream mix at the moment.
My order for the CAP Sweet Strawberry was through Wizard Labs. It's the only place I've ordered through that appears to buy the flavors in bulk through the distributors and repackages them in plastic bottles. The bottles at least are different than I've received from TPA directly or othe suppliers so I'm making the assumption that they're re-bottled.
Has anyone ever received bad flavoring from one of the suppliers? I assume it's one of those scenarios where it's hard to prove the issue exists since tasted is so subjective. But having read all the reviews on the CAP Sweet Strawberry it's really hard to believe this is the same flavor people rave about. It's really, really, really bad. That or my taste buds just take major exception to the flavor somehow. That and the taste buds of the 3 other friends that have tried it.
LOL. Anyone want 120 mls of my creation? I'm calling it Raunchberry Cream. et3rn1ty, no offense made towards your recipe. Something has to be off on the flavor I got.
wrxified, I would order direct if I were you. I will never order from wizard labs again after multiple bad flavors and stale nicotine orders when I first started mixing. I got my cap sweet strawberry from capella. It smells REALLY good and tastes even better.
Bahhhh. Dang. Live and learn. Thanks for the heads up. I am a couple weeks into this and loving it. This mix was my first bad encounter. I picked up all my nicotine, PG and VG there as well. Don't know that I could pick out or notice the stale nicotine but now you got me wondering.
I'm going to go place an order through Capella. For some reason I didn't and can't remember if they were out of something or what. So far I've placed orders with Wizards Labs, E-Cig Express and TPA. Wizard Labs got most of my VG, PG, and Nicotine business plus some CAP flavors, any in stock TPA flavors went direct, and my Flavour Art order went to E-Cig.
Where would you recommend I order the Nicotine, PG and VG through?
I can't buy direct as I live in the UK, I think all our stuff is re-bottled. My CAP sweet strawberry smells fine. I think I might just have to steep this one for a few weeks at least. I've heard a few people say when they made it that they couldn't vape it until after a few weeks also. I'm hoping that's the case anyway as I've made 100ml of it up. I will report back in a few weeks, hopefully with good news :)

Well I contacted Wizard Labs. They were super quick to respond and said they'll be sending a new bottle right away. They are going to grab it from a fresh supply and see if that is any better.
Super nice guys there and they've been quick to ship and respond.
Just wanted to circle back on this. As I mentioned above Wizard Labs sent me a new bottle of CAP Sweet Strawberry in response to my inquiry about the grassy undertones of the first bottle. Night and day difference!!!! This flavor is amazing on its own and made a world of difference in the Zoochberry cream mix.
Amazing recipe. Kinda scary for me being a newbie DIY mixer though. With so many choices, and so many vendors it's definitely hard to know if you truly don't like something or if it's just a bad ingredient.
I was very pleased with Wizard Labs response. This would've been such an easy situation to say "taste is subjective" and I would've probably chalked it up to not liking the recipe or flavor. They were very professional with the way they addressed it.
Wrxified, I too ordered CAP sweet strawberry from wizard labs earlier this year (before they started selling their flavors in bulk). I stocked up on a bunch of the 8ml sample bottles. Well, I just got around to opening them last week, and they're definitely bad. They all have a pungent "skunky" smell and taste to them (even after steeping 1 week). I am not sure what they did, as my first order of CAP strawberry from them was spot on. I am not a happy camper. I can't Vape this, it seriously tastes like I am inhaling funky skunk fumes. There goes my mix for this amazing recipe. Wonder if I should even attempt to Contact them since its been several months since I ordered :/
Jason - I would reach out to them. They were very accommodating and said if there were any others that ran into the same issue I encountered to have them contact them for a replacement. You could probably have them reference the notes on orders 283995 & 285996 and they should be able to see what transpired on my order and the notes with customer service.
I mixed up a second batch with the replacement CAP sweet strawberry and it was a whole different recipe altogether.
Well I've given this more than enough time to steep. A friend has even gone to the trouble of making it getting his concentrates from a different supplier and we both can't see what all the fuss is about. It's barely vapable for us both until after a month. Even after that the flavours seem muted in the custard. Not something I would make again. Big thumbs down and a disappointment from me unfortunately.
Mine turned out incredible after making it with the new CAP sweet strawberry that WL sent me. Kinda funny though. My brother-in-law got hooked on the Raunchberry batch. It mellowed out quite a bit after the grassy strawberry settled down. He wants me to make him another batch using the first CAP strawberry I received.
Wow! Thanks man! I've been trying to find a strawberry cream that I actually liked. Screw it. This is it. Though I did drop the strawberry a scoche and replaced it with some FA Forest Fruit. This is an awesome shake and vape. Now I just have to restrain myself and let it steep. Cheers!

This is my first DIY flavor. First puff and "this tastes weird", second "ok", third "not too bad", fourth "yum", one hundredth "excellent". Cant wait to see what it tastes like after a good steep. Well worth the effort, cheers et3rn1ty.
The only flavor I don't have is coconut. I'm not usually a fan of coconut and was wondering how important it is? Should I leave it out or substitute it with something else? This sounds awesome and I'm eager to make this! Thanks!
Not too zingy, sweet or sour like a pure fruit vape can be, and not heavy like a custard vape. It's complex, smooth and right down the middle - just right.
Thought I got all the ingredients for this, as this was one of the recipes I chose as a guide for my first flavor order, but it seems I have TPA Pear, and not FA Pear. Has anyone found a workable percentage for this, or should I go ahead and sub it out altogether with, say, FLV Peach or something? Because this recipe sounds too incredible not to make.
Mad but happy. Was mixing up this recipe as well as another one and I accidentally put .3ml of ethyl maltol in my zoochberry bottle by mistake. Still pretty happy with it though. I must say I've been looking for a recipe to really makes things up I've been stuck with strawberries and cinnamon for a while so this one is exactly what I needed thank you very much for your time and effort in creating this and thank you for posting!
Ctrl + F and search pear bro! It's been answered about 20 times already in this thread.
Here is your answer though =)
"The pear isn't noticeable but it adds a slightly earthy undertone and meshes well. The orange cream is essential as it adds a tartness to the custard flavor. I've never tried rainbow sherbet but I don't think its a viable replacement"
Well I mixed some of this up but left out the coconut and pear as I didn;t have them . It was pretty fing tasty . My first 30ml batch lasted oh about 18hrs. So I went out and found some coconut and pear . Can't wait to mix it with all its intended flavors. Thanks for sharing!
Unfortunately just too much going on for me. Props for using all this and it not tasting like shit though...still a good recipe. Just not my personal taste.
Just tried this out, used 100 VG no PG and swapped a few TPAs for Capellas, and Orange Dream Bar from FW instead of Orange Cream. Tastes kind of like a very fruity unicorn milk with a more tropical taste. 5 stars!
Ok, this is one bloody complex recipe to mix and you have to be careful while mixing it to get the mix%'s in correct proportions....then you have to let it steep for 3-4 weeks at least.....however, after that...it is heavenly bliss. This is one hell of a tasty vape. So different than any other I have mixed, and I have been DIY'ing after my one and only order of vendor juice. This is something very different, very tasty and will stand out in a crowd of e-juices. Absolutely love it...You need to mix it carefully and steep it enough though.
I don't have strawberries and cream. I have the cap sweet strawberry. I also have ripe strawberry. Do you think I could substitute with another cream and ripe?
I am a huge fan of the cream flavors. I had about half of these ingredients. I decided "why not" and popped for the rest. I am so glad that I did. We put it in our ultrasonic for about an hour, then I let it sit for a week. And WOW! It is Delicious! thank you!!!
Tried this one after perhaps a two week steep and it was just "ok". After a 6 week steep it has really come together. Thought it was just another strawberry cream at first. With a good steep it's much more complex.
You have some really interesting recipes posted - going to mix up the Vagnerian Canape next - that flavor profile is right up my alley. Trying to find some good fruit mixes - you have several I'll try. Thanks for posting!
I've just mixed my first 120ml attempt at this mix because the comments are so good from everyone trying it. I'm just gutted its going to take a month to be at its best .... I'll let you know how it turns out (if I haven't vaped it all beforehand :)
Just mixed this without the pear as I have none. I'm completely *shocked* at how a drop tastes. Van Custard always tastes like poison to me on Day 1 but this tastes fantastic. Gonna let it steep a few days (maybe) before vaping. Very excited to try it. Thanks for the recipe.
