Only thing I could find was:
(sorry; we can not link or name the recipe site this is from; though you may recognize the format)
I am afraid I have tried neither the original, or this recipe, so I can offer no opinion to its accuracy.

Yes, sir, I'm very familiar with the site. [emoji4]I've searched before but hadn't found anything (granted, it's been a while since I searched). So thank you times a million! I can't wait to try it. I just dropped $20 on a 30 ml bottle and would really like to clone this. Cheers!

Glad to help. Wish I could give some worthwhile feedback on it.
I hope it works for you!

I'll definitely report back! It looks like it may be it. Those are flavors I definitely taste in the real stuff

Nice! I am so glad it is working for you!!
It's now my #1 favorite recipe

My opinion (and mine alone) is that all three of the contributing flavor concentrates (key lime, pineapple, and raspberry) have fairly significant aromatic notes (affecting the sense of smell as much if not more than the sense of taste; so this may be susceptible to flavor "fading" over time.
Aromatics can be susceptible to rapid evaporation (when made up of volatile compounds) and can cause the flavor to go away as they evaporate. One way you can kind of get an idea of how much aromatics play a roll in a particular blend is to hold your nose shut (like you had a cold) and take a puff or two (holding your nose shut throughout both inhale and exhale). Does it still taste pretty much the same? If so; then the flavor profile is not very aroma-dependent. Does all, a lot, or key parts of the flavor profile go away? These are the aromatic parts that you can no longer detect with your nose pinched shut.
Now the question becomes how much of these aromatics are likely to evaporate or fade over time? Some, like citrus-based flavors (lemon, lime, and occasionally orange), fade pretty quickly (at least for my tastes). Others, like light berries (straw, and rasp) and lighter fruits (mangoes, pineapple, melons), not as quickly. And others still; little to not at all. Then, if I haven't confused you enough
, add in your own sensitivity to these losses. AAACCCKKK!
How you choose to store it will also influence its longevity. Plastics can allow flavors to fade faster than glass. Lots of headspace (air) in a bottle will cause flavors to fade more quickly too. So are you willing to re-bottle to smaller bottles as needed? (Again, all of this is based on personal preference, and what each of us wants/expects from our mixes long-term.)
So I say all that to suggest that you may want to move into larger batches slowly. I might start by mixing no more than what I could reasonably vape in a month. If remains good to the end then I might mix up a month and a half's worth, then two, then three, and so on.
Some recipes can do six months without batting an eyelash. Others won't survive 2 weeks (lemon is a big one for me on this end). It just depends on what you like. So I would start off slow and increase as I see how a specific recipe performs.
I would also ask you to think about how often you change flavors. Not just rotate through them but actually move on to different things. I have had some recipes that were my all-day-vapes (with others rotated in and out) for about 6 months and then I find something I like better. I know of others who have vaped one single recipe, and nothing else, for the past four years and are still happy as clams. Nothing would be sadder than to mix up a year's supply only to get bored with it in three months.
At least that has been my experience.

This is true. Of course, it's impossible to move on infinitely, but if you have a large enough selection in rotation you'll be constantly discovering stuff you forgot you had. It makes revisiting that much more pleasurable.
When I'm feeling burned out by what I have on hand, I go back to basics. CAP VC1 or menthol for a few days. Everything tastes better afterwards.
Also, re: large batches...If I have more than 60 mls of a flavor, even a flavor I'm truly fond of, the sheer quantity imposes a mental block to my enjoyment of it. It becomes more of a task..."I have to vape through 120mls of this stuff, or it'll go to waste." That's not fun, especially when I have 30 other flavors I love calling out to me.
