DIY Enter the Dragon my way ejuice recipe

#1 by the-guitarist, May 28. 2016, 07:25

I've been trying to come up with this one for a while now. I just placed an order for some peach from FA, INW and FLV as juicy peach wasn't doing it. Any substitute for natural strawberry? Have strawberry from FA and FLV as well as TFA and Cap.

Thanks Amy, huge fan by the way

Your welcome and thank you. I'd try the FA red touch in place of the SB Natural LA-it happens to be a really nice SB and the reason why I went with it, is because of the color of the juice made me think maybe they used a LA's product that had food coloring in it so I chose the Natural variety for a cleaner product. Also, I read online an interview w/ this juice maker he stated in his interview it was a white peach and not a yellow one hope this helps.

Thanks, I was thinking about a combination between FA peach and white peach with a hint of INW peach. There's definitely a hint of koolada in there. Regarding the color, i don't think it has anything to do with the flavorings used. The entire line is colored. Anyway, this is my wife's all day vape and is burning a hole in my pocket.

I didn't put koolada in there I don't like vaping it too much

#5 by the-guitarist, May 28. 2016, 08:49

I feel close and with your strawberry combination I feel that it'll be 90% there. Next on my list would be a lychee, mangosteen combo kinda trying to get a Crack on vapegoons - orgasm profile

#6 by Amy***, May 28. 2016, 09:13

Never had that juice. Although I do like lychee !

#7 by the-guitarist, May 28. 2016, 09:21

Lychee was a stable in our house when I was growing up. I just ordered mangosteen by FA to try it and so far I've been hearing that Cap sweet lychee is the best lychee out there. Might add a hint of papaya to give it that Asian tropical flavor.

#8 by Amy***, May 28. 2016, 09:24

I have never ate the real lychee only vaped it. Sweet lychee Caps is darn good ! I like to mix different vendors. I have heard mixed reviews about FA mangosteen mainly bad ones hope you like it.

#9 by the-guitarist, May 28. 2016, 09:47

The only reason I got was because vapegoons description was lychee and mangosteen. I might mix the sweet lychee with some lychee from FA. Thinking some jackfruit too. Been hearing good things about it, never tried though.

#10 by Amy***, May 28. 2016, 09:58

Jack fruit is mild and will probably be taken under by the Mangosteen & lychee but hey it can contribute by adding an additional layer. I do like jack fruit too !

#11 by the-guitarist, Jun 3. 2016, 00:59

i just made this. i increased the white peach to 1.5 and added 0.5 FA Peach. i was afraid that the strawberries will overpower the peach. replaced the LA strawberry with Red touch FA as you suggested and added 0.3 koolada.

it turned out amazing. i feel that the original had more of a candy like flavor to it. i don't think the peach needs any modifications but the strawberries combo might need some adjustment not really sure. Shisha strawberry INW maybe ?

#12 by Amy***, Jun 3. 2016, 01:03

Yes Shisha INW will do it. The SB I used is a glycerin based one and it is very sweet even at 3% so shisha should be a great addition to your red touch probably around 2-2.25 % as to not distract from your liking the peach to be top note ! Glad your diggin' it ! The real test is to have the wifey like it since it's her ADV !

#13 by the-guitarist, Jun 3. 2016, 01:35

she liked it but she think it's a little bit harsh. i'll see if the harshness will go away in a couple of days. i don't want to mess up your percentages. i might just replace the strawberry ripe with TFA strawberry as it's more candy strawberry than natural strawberry. CAP sweet strawberry is definitely here to stay though.

it just occurred to me but damn, i have so much strawberry flavorings, it became too overwhelming.

#14 by Amy***, Jun 3. 2016, 03:03

Yea it may be initially that is why I steep the tar out of peach stuff for one I'm not real big on it and for two it takes down the harshness of the peach.Give it another 3 -5 days and it should see an improvement. I wouldn't say this is a SnV recipe by any means. However if you feel you now have added too much SB increase your batch size and stat back adding peach and the other flavors.

#15 by Amy***, Jun 3. 2016, 03:04

How are you liking the Mangosteen or have you played with it yet enough to say ?

#16 by the-guitarist, Jun 3. 2016, 03:11

not yet, I received the bottle today. gave it a smell and it smell awful. just realized that i'm out of VG today and i'm also out of vapeable juice! i had 20ml left and i made this recipe with it, lol. I smelled the Sweet Lychee and it smells exactly like how i want it. now after i've smelled it i'm not even sure that mangosteen was part of the recipe i was trying to replicate. it might even be just sweet lychee and sweetener and they mentioned mangosteen to make it sound more sophisticated than what it actually is. anyway, i'll make two bottles one without the mangosteen and one with like 0.5% and see if it makes any difference. i'm more leaning toward sweet lychee and pear though. i'll keep you updated.

#17 by Amy***, Jun 3. 2016, 03:16

You can get Vegetable Glycerin at Rite aid for 6.69 it's Glycerin Anhydrous USP 99.5% in the U.S. of course I really don't know where your located. But I use it when I'm in a pinch waiting on my professional stuff & it's never let me down. However, Wal-mart's Humco VG makes me nauseous and sick to my stomach it's weird because I hear tell these two are actually made from the same corporation. I just know Rite Aid's is no problem for me.

As for the Mangosteen sounds like whatever one else has said smells terrible & taste terrible...sorry. Yeah keep me posted I like Lychee Juice.

#18 by the-guitarist, Jun 19. 2016, 10:14

hi there Amy, first regarding ETD. i just had an epiphany lol. try FA Forest Fruit at 5% and White Peach at 1-1.5% and let me know what you think. i have a bottle of ETD and it feels that forest fruit is the candied strawberry flavor that i get from ETD. the white peach will add that tang and you can compliment it with dragon fruit which i haven't tried yet. waiting for your feedback.

still no luck with a successful lychee recipe. mangosteen doesn't really reflect in the vape and sweet lychee by cap fades away after steeping. still trying to create a lychee juice kind of vape and sweet lychee smells exactly like what i wanted to replicate. i don't know if i need to get another lychee and mix the two or what. so far i did 10% sweet lychee and 3% mangosteen and it's dry. i know if i added 2-3% sweetener it'll make it smoother but i'll make this my last resort.

#19 by Amy***, Jun 19. 2016, 12:23

It's funny how we taste things so differently in general speaking. I would of never of thought about the forest fruit and AFA the sweet lychee goes if I go past 0.75% it takes over the entire batch no matter which vendor I try this is quite opposite w/ you on the lychee. Try using a lime to boost its notes that tends to make that fruit pop really well & of course sweetener does help but ethyl Malto will fade it so don't choose that one. I'll have to give the forest fruit a run with white peach ! Thanks !

#20 by the-guitarist, Jun 19. 2016, 12:44

i was playing around with it and did a single flavor recipe with 10% forest fruit and it hit me. got my ETD bottle which had like 5mls left and it was really similar except not as strong. so i made 10ml with 8% Forest Fruit and 1% White Peach and it's almost identical. i'm afraid that the peach will fade away after a couple of weeks but we'll see. AFA the lychee goes, i think i overdid it with 10%. i'll try lowering the percentage and see what happens. so far playing with sweet lychee, mangosteen, cactus, and now i'll follow your recommendation and add a few drops of lime Tahiti to the mix or maybe some cap lemon lime. Thanks

#21 by Amy***, Jun 19. 2016, 12:47

Sure ! I know that using other fruits have helped me get a better tasting lychee mix as it's kinda harsh on it's own. Steeping is certainly a plus with that one. I usually steep it for a month.

#22 by Amy***, Jun 22. 2016, 07:50

I made the Forest fruit @5% and the white peach FA @ 1.25 % I can see what you mean after mixing it is really smelling good. I'm going to steep it at least a week !

#23 by the-guitarist, Jun 22. 2016, 09:33

let me know how it goes. so far i'm enjoying a single mix of Forest fruit at 10% with a hint of cactus and lime.

#24 by Amy***, Jun 22. 2016, 09:34

For me Forest fruit is my favorite at 8% with around 1% fresh cream. sometimes I put a couple drops of harvest berry with it. i'll let ya know !

#25 by the-guitarist, Jun 22. 2016, 09:36

ok that sounds delish. gonna do that right now :P and i thought i was done mixing for the day !

#26 by Amy***, Jun 22. 2016, 09:44

That's how it always goes too !

#27 by Alcheval, Dec 29. 2016, 01:23

Hi I've just read your discussion and not sure if you had replaced CAP Sweet SB with forest fruit or if you added it and reduced CAP sweet SB or if you just mixed FF with white peach duo as test. Lol anyway, I'll try mixing it with red touch as per your suggestion to guitarist. If your thoughts to now include forest fruit in the recipe, Could you post a quick one line saying either yea or nay? I would think if it were you'd have changed or updated this lol...now I really am confused :)

#28 by vapefiend, Feb 20. 2017, 21:38

Was the strawberry replaced by the forest fruit or was it added to the mix?

#29 by Amy***, Feb 21. 2017, 07:43

I believe the forest fruit replaces SB in his recipe.
