Excision paradox is supposed to be a pitch black Mountain dew. I can't believe it is this simple to make . if I was blind folded I couldn't tell the difference from the clone to the authentic lol. 0.6% of super sweet is more authentic to the original, but can be lowered to 0.5% if you don't like sweet vapes!
For a paradox remix substitute Citrus punch with CAP lemon-lime. I personally think its better but the original is more accurate to the actual e liquid
You are genius! I swear. I mixed 15 ml and shook it and put it in an ultrasonic device for 20 minutes. I waited 2 hours. OOOOO Myyyyyy Gooood. This is my all day vape. I just ordered the ingredients that would last for 4 months. They are mixed in a way that makes you think it is all an awesome piece of candy. You have no idea how much happy I am. I have been looking for this a long time ago. MY SALVATION. Really really really Thank you so much! I believe you recommended this for me and another recipe. I forgot the name of the other recipe. I appreciate it if you remind me.
Oh my god!!! I just started DIY not even a month ago and I was just thinking that right when I went DIY excision paradox was my ADV. Decided to search to see if there was something similar and this came up and I swear there not a difference at all to the real thing. This has to be the exact recipe!! Thanks man I'm about to make 250mls of this and it will barely last me 2 weeks!!
Is there a steep time on this? I just mixed a batch and feel the grape flavor isn't quite as strong as Paradox. I'm vaping them side by side, and the batch I mixed seems to be lacking in the grape department. I've never used this Grape Soda FW before, and am wondering if it requires a steep to open up a bit.
and you are welcome! glad to share! if you like grape you should get wonder flavours sweet and sour purple drink . They carry it at gremlinDIY. I do 10% s&s purple drink and 4% grape soda and it's amazing!
Mate this so good. Mixed it today and I cant put it down. Gone through 30ml already. I've never had the the drink because we cant get it here in the UK but this is so tasty. Cheers for the recipe
Mixed my first batch today, I mean wow. Good fresh out the gate, Could only get better with time! What is the recommended steeping time for ultimate perfection?
I must admit, this is pretty good. However I am vaping both the original and this and I feel that this is missing something.... on their website they say "dark fruits", but I can't pin point it. Even the smell of the original point at some missing fruit they are using.
This juice is one of my all time favourites, but I do agree that it’s missing a slight menthol/koolada/cold hit. The original has that cool medicine-y touch, but I can’t identify what it is.
Its probably just me and the flavor is great but I get a metallic after taste which is a bummer
I taste this in the juice on exhale in the moisture on my lips
Maybe someone can explain why lol
Great work mate I wish i could enjoy it 100% but like i said I'm sure its something with me
I made this about 3 weeks & it is really good. Thinking of trying it next with the Lemon Lime sub for the Citrus Punch you suggested. What percentage of the LL did you use when doing that? Still the 3%?
I don't know. After mixing this up twice - less SuperSweet second time, it was still too sweet. I finally tasted the original, and it has a much darker, richer taste - not as sweet and bright as this. I added to the bottle a few drops of Cap Blackberry, and one drop of MTS Vape Wizard, and I think it's definitely much closer. I'll let you know what I end up with.
I made it again, this time subbing in the lemon lime for citrus punch & it's still really sweet, but I like it better. I believe I will make it again with less sweetener & maybe even try to come in around 18% on total flavoring. I DO like it or I just wouldn't make it again (or the second time either).
Absolutely delicious! I was looking for a new recipe after making the same thing for about 2 years and just kinda gambled on this one thinking it would maybe suck (there was still hope though). Boy was I wrong! Obviously taste is subjective, but this one really seems to hit the bill for me. Already re-ordered concentrates to make 2L. Will most likely cut down of sweetner though... Thank you!
finally got round to making this after waiting for my ingredients seen all the hype on this and thought id jump on the wagon ill leave this to steep for 2 weeks and leave another comment cant wait to try it though
Love this!! I’ve made it many times now and it’s one of my favorites. I did sub LB Dew Mountain for Citrus Punch and I like it better with the LB Dew Mountain. Also tried adding blackberry and mts vape wizard from a previous comment. So good!!
I recently ordered some Paradox to see if I would like it before ordering the flavors to make this recipe. To me Paradox tastes exactly like Ruthless Grape Drank, which really just tastes kind of like a slightly sweeter grape juice-ish flavor. Not even close to Pitch Black Mountain Dew imo.
For those of you that have made this recipe would you say this is identical to Paradox or does the Dew flavor stand out more or less in this one? I would really like to get more of that Dew flavor with a good grape balance to mimic the pitch black flavor better, but I've never used mountain dew as a flavoring so I'm not sure the nuances of it. I imagine like most citrus flavors it doesn't take much citrus to dominate an entire recipe so I don't know if it would be as simple as adjusting the percentages to boost that Mountain Dew.
to everyone asking if you can lower the grape soda, yes. I mix this up with Puilum grape soda at 6%. I like this one over FW. It is very good with the 6%. FYI I never made it with the Grape soda at 16% so I can't compare it to the original recipe.
Just wanted to say that this recipe is absolute awesome. Been trying out a lot of grape recipes lately and so far this is the best. I did drop the Citrus Punch (Mt. Dew) (TPA) down to 1% to remove the Mountain Dew flavor a bit, while maintain some carbonation. I did that to bring the grape flavor forward even more. Well done!
some modern mixing tips if you're looking to mix this in 2021 forward/answering some questions asked later on:
1. FW grape soda is 30-40% sucralose already... use some logic and don't waste your super sweet.
2. as for the 16% flavouring, since this isn't 2016, you likely vape sub-ohm, rd(t)a or POD... if you use pods, meh, do whatever you want... but if you vape using anything that's more modern, drop that 16% to 8% (or lower) and see #3
3. take out TPA sour completely. it's useless in this recipe when you adjust %'s, it's the reason why FW grape soda needed to be 16%. there's much better ways to make the grapes "pop" (google "diyordie stop using TFA sour!" for full details)... try adding 0.75% FA Lemon Sicily or really any lemon flavouring at a low %... you get the Citric Acid without the muting, yay!
4. you're an animal if you're not using ws-23, get some and become cool
^^ to post #70
This has been my ADV for the past 2 years. For my next batch I will try with your changes. Since I have never used WS-23 before, how much would you recommend?
I will also attempt the recipe from post #71 to compare.
