Shake and vape or is there a recommended steeping time?

#2 by yetisuncle, Nov 10. 2015, 11:54

you can certainly shake and vape. its great right away. however I have found that, like most liquids, a solid 1-2 day steep and its spectacular. but yes you can deff shake and vape.

#3 by Johan S, Nov 11. 2015, 19:25

I would have gon down with the Strawberry ripe to 3% and let it steep for 3 weeks

#4 by yetisuncle, Nov 12. 2015, 13:11

by all means make it that way... if you do, let me know how it turns out. that's an awfully long time to steep a strictly fruit vape. its really a shake and vape, I always give the shake and vapes a couple days anyhow, but never more than 3 days, theres no reason for it.

#5 by ARTSLIQUIDE, Dec 19. 2015, 12:34

Hi can you tell me if i change the kiwi fa for double kiwi tfa... What you think about it, and sould i put more?

#6 by eFlavourFlav, Dec 27. 2015, 05:41

holy crizznap Yeti this is extremely delicious, almost spot on I think. mixed at 2% to try it and it's very Kanziesque. I can see why this would be an ADV for anyone. will be mixing a full batch or 5 with some sweetener variations to try out

#7 by yetisuncle, Dec 27. 2015, 10:32

franky05- I have actually been using the tfa kiwi double as of late, and I love it compared to the original. I really should alter the recipe. as I like it so much more than the o.g.

#8 by yetisuncle, Dec 27. 2015, 10:34

nigel- im so glad you think that. ive been wondering just how close it was, thank you for the heads up. ive also been toying with the sweetness level. personally I prefer using sucralose as oppose to e.m. in this recipe. it just seems to go perfectly with it.

#9 by eFlavourFlav, Dec 27. 2015, 18:16

Yeah, I'm gonna try a test batch with some E.M. I think but the 10mL batch I made last night only lasted about an hour so I feel like this'll be an easy one to mess around with.

#10 by James truelove , Feb 14. 2016, 01:25

I found this far to sweet after a day. I've removed the sweetner and it seems ok. Also I only had flavour West kiwi. I've only had a quick gp on the original so I can't really compare but this recipe is very nice

#11 by Dio, Mar 9. 2016, 22:32

The best juice ever!!! Thanks a lot buddy. 5stars 4you

#12 by yetisuncle, Mar 20. 2016, 06:15

thank you Dio. that means alot. it is a bit sweet. but if you can calm the sweetness down to your prefference then you really have something. ( thats why we diy right?)

#13 by Dio, Mar 20. 2016, 06:25

Absolutely!
Personally I like sweet juices...

#14 by KittyVapes, Apr 1. 2016, 02:57

This juice is awesome! I had to substitute TFA Watermelon for your FA and used 2% sucralose and 4 days later this is some really tasty juice. Thanks for posting this. It's nice to have something I can taste.

#15 by nexius, Apr 3. 2016, 18:37

Just thrown this together , used watermelon candy and E.M. , turned out very nice , not too sweet , cant wait to try it in a couple of days , if it lasts that long ;)
Thanks

#16 by sureal808, Apr 11. 2016, 17:01

yeti: what % of kiwi double have you been using?

#17 by MixMasterMatt, Apr 26. 2016, 11:37

awesome juice man!!!!
used EM instead of sucralose, strawberry ist a little dominating atm, but i hope after some steeping the melon will come out better.

#18 by Sumtingwong, Apr 26. 2016, 15:20

@yetisuncle Great recipe man! I'm probs on my 5th 30ml bottle of this clone!
Is there any chance you have a recipe for Twelve Monkeys Mangabeys?
I would love to get my hands on a clone of this!

#19 by MixMasterMatt, Apr 26. 2016, 15:24

@Sumtingwong check out my mangabeys clone recipe it's awesome!

#20 by Hoshi, Apr 29. 2016, 01:16

@yetisuncle Thank you man. Awesome juice. Shake & vape and the taste is delicious.

#21 by thierry, May 6. 2016, 17:31

This is really spot on! Thanks!! Made 30 ml.. then 150 more!!! used 2% sucralose and I looove it!

#22 by gazz, May 8. 2016, 22:00

NAILED ITS GREAT!!!

#23 by rindey, May 10. 2016, 02:57

This..is...AMAZING! Made it exactly as the recipe suggests, 2nd day in and my 30mL bottles gone.

It's not often I'll come back and write a review unless the recipe is OUTSTANDING but this is 11/10, would vape this again. 5 Stars buddy!

#24 by nuno, May 13. 2016, 22:52

made with double watermelon :) 30ml vaped in 2 days... now I'll make 100ml bottles of this stuff :) thanks

#25 by JuiceChu, May 31. 2016, 19:58

Love it! Just made a 10ml and reduced Sucralose to 2%. Can't wait to try it once its steeped.

#26 by Telmos, Jun 23. 2016, 22:21

Anyone tried this without sucralose.. trying to cut down on sugar haha

#27 by The_Ckemist, Jul 25. 2016, 02:16

Going to USA TPA kiwi double, also no fa water Mellon, so Capella honey dew melon it is ha, as TPA honeydew is far to potent as my other alternative lol, will also use 1% suraclose,

#28 by Ziala, Aug 5. 2016, 05:05

Just had to post here to say this is fantastic. Followed your recipe exact and I'm in love. Was impatient so I tried it 6 hours after making it, delicious, now 3 days later and its blowing me away. Never had the original so I cant compare on that. I have such a hard time finding good fruit mixes though so thanks so much for this!

#29 by The_Ckemist, Aug 26. 2016, 22:31

How much TPA kiwi double are you using ?, I'm guessing 2%-2.5% ?

#30 by Norseman, Aug 29. 2016, 17:51

I just made my second batch of this one and i didn't use sucralose in any of the batches and this is really good wihout it. Really nice juice Uncle.

#31 by Telmos, Sep 10. 2016, 18:25

Anyone know if TFA Marshmallow can be used instead of the sucralose? If it can, would the % be the same or need more/less of it compared to sucralose?

#32 by Dustin, Sep 15. 2016, 04:03

I used 3% Marshmallow and it turned out great!
I tried with Cotton Candy, Gummy Bear, and Marshmallow.
Marshmallow wins. I don't use Sucralose in my ejuice.
Awesome Clone!

#33 by Ansem774, Sep 21. 2016, 02:36

5 Stars. New favorite and daily juice thanks! 60ml and counting!

#34 by sz.liq, Oct 27. 2016, 10:03

yeti, or somebody can tell me which sucralose is OK for this? i have TPA Sweetener and Zydus Wellness Sweet Drops. TPA seems ok, but not the real thing. really good clone, looks perfectly the same than original Kanzi, but i have a little sucralose problem :) thanks.

#35 by DDrama, Nov 24. 2016, 15:38

I used kiwi double, straw ripe, and watermelon candy. For sweetener I used 1 drop pyure stevia per 10ml. Came out excellent! Reminds me of honeyberry from MT baker but this is better. These ingredients will be bought again and this will go into ADV rotation.
Great recipe!

#36 by Evex112, Nov 25. 2016, 00:28

kiwi double..what percentage please guys?

#37 by DDrama, Nov 25. 2016, 01:10

Same

#38 by Evex112, Nov 25. 2016, 01:21

Ah OK, thanks. Just thought as it was double concentrate I needed to half it. Still new to DIY.

#39 by Cloud Chaser, Dec 8. 2016, 06:22

Can't lie ... love my juices nice and sweet .. this one fit that bill ... also loved Kanzi when I tried it in the store ... found your recipe .. love it .. 120 ml bottle .. steeping as we speak!

#40 by PascalP37, Dec 19. 2016, 00:40

#41 by DDrama, Dec 31. 2016, 05:52

made first batch of this using TFA watermelon candy and it was amazing! everyone who tried it been bugging me for weeks to make more. This time I used the FA watermelon....It has more of an authentic melon taste but this weird mouth drying effect and feels like smoke not vapor. Very strange and hard to describe but never had this dry mouthfeel quite like this with FA watermelon. Its ok but was amazing with the TFA watermelon candy and a few drops stevia instead of sucralose.

#42 by geboy, Jan 8. 2017, 09:08

@DDrama what % of TFA Watermelon candy have you been using?

#43 by DDrama, Jan 8. 2017, 17:35

I have to check my notes and hope i wrote it down. I just made huge batch with FA watermelon and its good but people been saying its harsher. Im going to get some more of the tfa candy watermelon and play around with it

#44 by DDrama, Jan 8. 2017, 18:31

I have in notes for a 60ml bottle....
Kiwi dbl tfa.....3ml
Watermelon candy tfa....2ml
Strawberry ripe tfa......4ml
Pure stevia in VG........6 drops

Not sure if its the kiwi or watermelon but each variant ive made had a little harshness.... the FA watermelon version seemed to have it more plus that weird dry mouthfeel.

Im going to remake again with the candy watermelon and play around with adding EM, or a cream to smooth it out

#45 by MikeC, Jan 15. 2017, 22:09

Really liked this one, I did change it up a bit on the Strawberry. I put Strawberry Ripe at 3% and added Shisha Strawberry (INW) at 2% and the strawberry really popped nicely. Thanks for the recipes.

#46 by The_Ckemist, Jan 15. 2017, 23:38

I want to make this, but the amount of suraclose scares me lol, I just think it's too much, but I'm the type that will only use 0.5% max to enhance a flavor rather than make it super sweet

#47 by Ben100099, Jan 29. 2017, 22:22

I'm a Newb at all this and I chose this as my starter I couldn't find Red summer watermelon so substituted with a (vapable) watermelon and I used super sweet cap as the sweetener I lowered the sweetener to 1% and not gunna lie this recipe tastes awesome I've made 5×20ml of it so far

#48 by pinoyVaper, Feb 7. 2017, 14:54

i have candy watermelon and kiwi double can i sub with thosebon the recipe? Also gonna use 1.5% of tfa sweetener instead of sucra will its be ok?

#49 by xalBBlax, Feb 14. 2017, 06:59

Delicious recipe !!!
Sub'd Capella's Super Sweet@ 1%
This recipe knocks it right out of the park
Great work!!!

#50 by Wiingy, Feb 15. 2017, 18:08

I swapped out TPA circus cotton candy for Sucralose and it's tasty after an overnight steep. Thanks!

#51 by Hpatrik, Mar 4. 2017, 01:05

Very nice and balanced flavor! My first fruit juice and it tastes like I expected but better. Have not tried the original though, but this is good. Only used 2% sweetner and it is sweet! Will make more! Review made as shake n vape.

#52 by Morgo, Mar 10. 2017, 13:35

I'm getting a harsh taste from this, does anyone else. As anyone used tfa smooth with this?

#53 by Cloud Chaser, Mar 10. 2017, 15:22

It's the sweetener you are using most likely. The supersweet works well in this.

#54 by Cloud Chaser, Mar 10. 2017, 15:25

What I did that knocked this out of the park ... And I now make it for everyone is ... Add 5ml of cotton candy (the hype)

#55 by jordanlovesmari, Apr 6. 2017, 05:37

@yetisuncle Can this recipe be mixed upwards of half a liter size and it keep flavor after a 4+ weeks? I'm looking for good high wattage (90-110w) recipes I can mix big & not mute out or get funky. TIA

#56 by Dave X, Apr 13. 2017, 01:17

Are you diluting your flavors, before mixing? If so what percentages?

#57 by Fondle Rump, Apr 17. 2017, 02:15

This is heavenly... Wow I love it

#58 by Fondle Rump, Apr 17. 2017, 02:17

@Cloud Chaser 5ml in what size total of bottlel and what did you remove if anything

#59 by willem , Apr 17. 2017, 12:40

Thanks for sharing I only tweaked the sweetener I found m to 0.5 sweetner sweet I found more than enough for the rest simply perfect

#60 by Fondle Rump, Apr 23. 2017, 23:07

Anyone know how this would be at 50/50 for a coil saver ya know.... Can't get enough of this but it's going through my smok coils so fast

#61 by Simon133, Apr 30. 2017, 19:11

Taste too much kiwi in kanzi strawberry is more dominant

#62 by Simon133, Apr 30. 2017, 19:15

But it its the right kiwi for sure

#63 by K.L0v3, May 1. 2017, 18:39

I am the only one who think the flavor is a bit muted? I really cant get flavor out of this juice

#64 by Fondle Rump, May 1. 2017, 18:41

Did you give it 5 or 6 days...? Mines bursting with flavor

#65 by K.L0v3, May 1. 2017, 21:27

I steeped around 2 weeks :(

#66 by Emin, May 17. 2017, 22:39

70\30 ve 6mg yaptım. No sukraloz. Super oldu. Çok beğendim..

#67 by Lokando, May 24. 2017, 07:58

Amazing recipe. Did a 10ml 0mg blend at 75vg and its amazing even as a shake n vape. Gonna let it steep for a couple days and see how it is :) cant wait to try it out

#68 by Geb, Jul 18. 2017, 13:25

anyone know if CAP Super Sweet very different from TPA Sucralose? I generally only add 1% or less for any recipe that calls for sweetener.

#69 by Atchuu, Jul 23. 2017, 07:43

9/10 Made a base, not a huge fan of the sweetener. Gonna try the next batch without.

#70 by Lokando, Jul 23. 2017, 19:40

I follow this to a T, but found that sucralose mutes the flavours. I switched the 3% sucralose to 1% ethyl maltol and 2% erythritol sweetener and now its perfect and unmuted. Also, the Erythritol SW is much less heat sensitive and my cotton/coils last longer!! 10/10 yeti!! Come to Canadas con next year!

#71 by Geb, Jul 24. 2017, 09:05

Just mixed this up and tried as a snv - it's really tasty. before I went DIY I would never buy fruity juices - I vape a lot of custards and desserts. I'm finding more and more that fruity juices can be really good too. I would think after a few days steep this is going to be fantastic. 5 star juice for sure. thanks for sharing.

#72 by Geb, Jul 24. 2017, 21:51

Although I left a comment yesterday I wanted to leave another comment today. After just a short overnight steep this juice has blended nicely. I dripped some yesterday and had two tankfuls today (serpent mini so that only like 5mls). It's one of the few true snv recipes I've tried. Sometimes you can tell right after your first sample of a juice that it will be a candidate for a much larger bottle so it can go into daily rotation. This is one of the juices. I mixed mine without any added sucralose so an added bonus is this is a super easy juice to mix - you can whip up 120 mls in less than 2 minutes. If you like sweet fruity juices this one is a must try. again - thanks for sharing.

#73 by brushy, Aug 8. 2017, 14:09

Brilliant! This is very easily a snv, but a couple of days steep only makes it better. I'd say 3 days at the most is all you need for the strawberry to blend together, but at 0 days, or 3, this tastes amazing.

#74 by Tony R., Aug 13. 2017, 21:09

Very good, i love it!

#75 by vagdal, Sep 1. 2017, 21:36

Very good recipe i've made 120ml with few changes and taste good to me.
Strawberry ripe 5%
Kiwi 4,17%
Watermelon 3,33%
Sweetener 1%

Thanks a lot for the recipe!

#76 by oinn1993, Sep 17. 2017, 20:51

Thanks bud just made this up and shake and vaped it taste good well done 🤘

#77 by Dimitris13, Oct 11. 2017, 09:10

Hi guys! I noticed that with TPA flavors, coils are Ok, but with the ones in this receipe coil after 3-4 days is black & tastes awful... Do you know maybe which flavor causes this damage?

#78 by vagdal, Oct 15. 2017, 15:43

Dimitris it's because of sweetener mostly. Try to use 0.5 sweetener and maybe you can try to use lower percentage on all fruits.

#79 by strat, Oct 23. 2017, 17:44

saw this reviewed by chef John and he raved about it, so I just mixed some up, didn't have fa watermelon I used tfa and lorans colorless 2 and 2, didn't have kiwi fa either used double kiwi, lol, so it isn't exact excpet %s. I haven't vaped it yet but it smells great. I'll report back after tasting, going to let it steep and day or two.

#80 by vagdal, Nov 7. 2017, 22:24

Too bad is a coil killer :(

#81 by strat, Nov 8. 2017, 01:50

this is a great mix. I had a friend try it, he wanted a 50 ml. bottle, good recipe. I lowered the sweetener.

#82 by JohnnyBigodes, Nov 11. 2017, 18:44

This is simply amazing... And i am not a fruity guy, but vaped 120ml like there was no tomorrow. Thanks for this

#83 by Tinkeu, Dec 3. 2017, 10:47

I'm unable to find precisely "Red summer (watermelon) (fa)", I checked many supplier and only saw "Watermelon (fa)" with no mention of "red summer", is it the same thing ?

#84 by Tony R., Dec 3. 2017, 13:13

@Tinkeu, yes it's the same thing!

#85 by Marcil802, Dec 19. 2017, 18:50

I have kiwi double (TPA) can I substitute if so same ratio?

#86 by Jessske, Jan 27. 2018, 12:47

Wow, I love it! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

#87 by Suomynona, Mar 20. 2018, 11:05

This juice is good as a shake and vape, but after 2 weeks there's absolutely no flavor in it anymore (just a tiny hint of watermelon).
Don't make what you can't vape immediately.
Leave out the 3% sweetener and it'll be different, still not a juice that keeps for months without degrading seriously.

#88 by JohnnyBigodes, Mar 20. 2018, 12:23

@Suomynona the problem in this one is exactly the Sweetener. The Maltol in it destroys every fruit flavor... Have you tried it with CAP Super Sweet. There is no Maltol at all and it could hold the flavour better for a longer period. If using Super Sweet just put 1-1,5% instead of 3% Sweetener.

#89 by Zugmaschine, Apr 7. 2018, 23:05

There is stiil much EM in the Strawberry Ripe! I put 2 Drops CAPs Supersweet! Is very sweet, sweet enough fpor me. I hope it will not mute quickly.

#90 by Rena, May 3. 2018, 16:38

Very good recipe I used Marshmallow as my sweetener had a funny taste at first but after about a little over a week steep I tried it again and it’s great a tangy strawberry taste with hints of Kiwi and watermelon I could ADV this it’s not to sweet and flavors blend very well

#91 by Suomynona, May 4. 2018, 01:31

@Rena you can probably leave out the marshmallow and not use any sweetener. Strawberry Ripe is full of EM already. Marshmallow will give this a bit of marshmallow flavor and make it fluffier than it needs to be. Some marshmallows also contains EM and will help mute the flavors. If you need any sweetener, use sucralose (super sweet) or stevia.

#92 by Rena, May 6. 2018, 06:02

@Suomynona thanks I think I’ll keep out the marshmallow and sweetener next time!!!

#93 by Stoepa, Jul 10. 2018, 12:37

After three weeks of steeping, this juice turned into a miracle. Great mix, never tried the original, but if I ever do, I would sure come and comment again.

#94 by DeeKayNL, Oct 6. 2018, 14:32

Very good recipe!! I did adjust the sweetener to 2% and it's perfect for me!! Thank you!

#95 by SeldenScum, Oct 29. 2018, 22:52

I just adapted this to a 30ml as well as dropped the sweetner to 1%. Off the bat it tastes very Floral...I will give it a couple days and go back. For instance the WaterMalone recipe tastes Stellar after 2 weeks. Super smooth but off the bat the Nicotine is over powering...

#96 by MTL sLOVEnia, Jan 16. 2019, 19:33

e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/138151/Ice%20Ice%20Baby!

Kanzi clone exactly per this recipe just lowered the weetener to 2%: I would give it 7 out of 10. Good, smooth however mybe not bringing out all of the flavours. Then added some Aloe vera + mixed 50/50 with the above "Ice baby Ice". Now, that's a bomb for my meshed Freemax pro. A great vape realy tasty. Suggest to try especialy the Ice baby being SNV...
Thanks for Kanzi.

#97 by MTL sLOVEnia, Jan 16. 2019, 19:35

Gave it 4
🎆

#98 by DrejzLV, Apr 30. 2019, 18:56

Never tried Kanzi, but tried your recipe and adapted it to what I had in stash, keeping same % but replacing to:
Double Watermelon (CAP)
Kiwi (Double) (TPA)
Ripe Strawberries (CAP)

Shake and vape and really feels amazing, thanks for sharing this!

#99 by RobinRascoe, May 12. 2019, 04:25

Very good thank you very much

#100 by rooftop, Sep 15. 2019, 21:36

I vaped this right now, side by side with the original Kanzi and I really can't tell the difference. I think you nailed it. Great Job!

#101 by Akamir, Sep 18. 2019, 18:48

Absolutely spot on. Same exact texture as the original. Gave it a two day steep (not on purpose) and my sample bottle is almost empty.

Thank you!

#102 by vapingcatpiss, Nov 19. 2019, 22:26

1. if you want a kanzi clone, that's fine, this is as close as you can get... but change ANY of the ingredients and it won't be a kanzi clone... it'll just be another strawb, kiwi, watermelon mix. FA watermelon doesn't have a substitute for this recipe, but I'll expand on that later on after the numbermarks

2. this recipe is from 2015 when drippers/sub-ohm tanks weren't anywhere near as powerful as today. the percentages aren't set in stone, feel free to lower the kiwi % (or others) unless you find kanzi to be very kiwi dominant (people forget that peoples palettes are different. maybe you taste kiwi as the main note in kanzi, Idk, but I personally don't taste kiwi in the original kanzi, mostly matol and some strawb/watermelon)

3. don't use 3% sweetener. once again, it isn't 2015, you don't need such high %'s. I use 0.5%, 1% max. try it with 0.5% at first and then up by 0.25% til you hit the spot. if you drip, don't go above 2%, it's a waste of ingredients. strawb ripe is basically 90% matol anyway so I just use sucralose for the sugar lips.

----

I've tried this recipe using various substitutes, esp the watermelons (since imo there's tastier watermelons out there, such as wayne's watermalone or even Cap sweet watermelon), but changing the watermelon means that this isn't a "kanzi" clone anymore... the watermelon is this recipe's base

just buy FA watermelon, it's good, your "kanzi clone" will taste better. FA watermelon cuts through other flavours in the mix so you can actually taste it (well, under 3% matol)

the strawb is in this recipe is a back note, used to back up the watermelon. you can taste the same in the original recipe. strawb ripe is redic sweet, there's lots of lovely muting matol in it already. if you must sub strawb ripe, use a percentage of your chosen strawb that's more of a booster rather than a main note

now... the kiwi. the kiwi's way too high in this recipe, I personally lower it to 3%. I don't taste it in the original. 5% kiwi turns this recipe sour to me (using a hellvape passage, drop dead & wasp nano). FA kiwi tastes like an unripe strawberry and is very dry, it isn't like tfa kiwi (double) which is more like grass... if you MUST sub FA kiwi for TFA kiwi (double) use at 2-3% and add 0.25% matol.

Idk I hope I helped somebody with this tl;dr post, just getting triggered over here by the comments.

#103 by Goathoof, Jan 15. 2020, 02:24

Excellent recipe I used the exact recipe with super sweet at 1 %. Never had the original but this is dam good

#104 by Mssdor1, May 5. 2020, 02:54

I made a 60ml of this and Vaped the whole bottle. It tastes amazing. I have a 240ml mixed up now so I can have a bottle when I want it. I dropped the sweetner down just a bit.

#105 by Ahmed Sharaf, Nov 27. 2020, 10:17

Hello . I mixed this as described , put it in a warm water , shaked and steeped for 5 days

So delicious thank you .

#106 by Eliquid Remix, Jan 10. 2022, 18:40

Just made this with 2% sweetener and it is delicious of the shake, can't wait to taste it in a day or two.

#107 by VapeNation, Dec 27. 2023, 12:49

Is This the one that FB had before sugar lips
