JustStayHereAndDrink's Gambit-like recipe
submitted almost 11 years ago by captaincannibal

I was searching around recently through some old posts and came across something posted by /u/JustStayHereAndDrink in a random thread. He says it is a Gambit-like recipe. Just gave it a try the other day and it is really nice. I haven't had real Gambit so I can't comment on the accuracy but either way it is a really great Apple Pie a la Mode. Just thought it was deserving of a post since it didn't get much attention when he posted it and he hasn't been around in a while.

It's pretty close ingredient-wise to the one I tried: http://www.e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/37210/GAMBIT+2

I taste tested this the first time I made to, to the real thing - it's 98% there, it's just missing the spicier vanilla that 5 Pawns has.

I have a bottle steeping right now. :) Takes about a week or two to mature into something really good.

I also mixed this Castle Long recipe: http://www.e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/37215/Castle+long+clone+2+%2528TFA%252FTPA%2529

I've never had the real thing, and this one took 3 weeks to start steeping into something that didn't taste like brown sugar, but a month later, it's amazing in my Kayfun, been vaping it all day. It's sweet, and I get all the flavors - the first thing I thought was "Almond Joy with bourbon". Amazing. I'm really glad I made 60mls. :) It's sweet and candy-ish, but it's not overwhelming like a lot of desserts. Great with coffee!

I've heard a "spicy vanilla" mentioned before. I'd guess it is Vanilla Bourbon? But if spicy means cinnamon-y it could be something like Catalan cream. I'm tempted to order some of the real deal to try and get closer. Think I might do that soon.

Keep us posted if you get any closer on either Gambit or Castle Long. I love these flavors but can't bring myself to shell out the money for a full size bottle.

FA Vanilla Bourbon is the real deal if looking for spicy vanilla. You won't get much Vanilla out of FA Catalan Cream at higher power levels, it becomes overwhelmed by the cinnamon and spice in it over ~30 w in my experience.

Sounds yummy but would be lacking the apple bite that I enjoy so much. Much closer to gambit than my apple pie, that's for sure though.

Mine isn't served a la mode but you get the perfect combination of apple IMPO at least.
