Recipes for discontinued blends -- Vapor Trails NW

submitted over 10 years ago by vapor_trails_nw

Hey, everyone! First off, mods, of this needs to be moved- go for it! I am not sure if it is cool to post this on the main page, so do what you need to do!

So, we have discontinued EVERY flavor that has known acetoin content, and as promised, we are releasing the recipes for everyone to enjoy on their own. My only request is that if these flavors are re-sold, please do not use the names that we had for them, or our company name.

Let's get to it!

French Toast

10% Waffle (TFA)
4% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
4% Cinnamon Danish Swirl (Capella)

Bananaberry Milkshake

10% Banana Cream (TFA)
8% Strawberry ripe (TFA)
3% Sweet Cream (TFA)
1% Dairy (TFA)

Kool Beans!

2 drops Caramel Cappuccino (TFA)
3% Vanilla Swirl (TFA)
3% Sweet Cream (TFA)
2% Caramel Candy (TFA)
3 drops per 10 ml Koolada

Goldilocks

7% Banana Cream (TFA)
5% Bananas Foster (TFA)
5% Banana Nut Bread (TFA)
1% Banana ripe (TFA)

Ciggy Marley

7% Banana Cream (TFA)
2% Coconut (Capella)
1% Banana ripe (TFA)
8 drops per 10 ml Tobacco Absolute (aged and diluted at 1% in PG)
2 drops per 10 ml M-Type (aged and diluted at about 1% in PG)

Have fun, everyone!

edit: forgot to mention, we use TFA sweetener and EM, so play around with the sweeteners if you are into that :)

edit 2: changed some redundant verbage.

edit 3: When I say "per 10 ml", I am talking about the size of bottle you are filling!

Really inspiring and gracious of you to divulge "actual" industry recipes ! This is a great incite and I really appreciate it as I'm sure all here will. I'm going to go check out your site now and if I can get it to New Zealand for a decent price I'm going to check it out.

As a juice vendor myself I am quite relieved to see the relative simplicity of a "premium" juice line. I was a little worried that I wasnt being complex enough having only 4-5 flavours per creation and its great to know that more isnt always better!

Cheers Bro!

Thanks for the kind words! One thing that may bum you out is that we do not do internation shipping :(

Someday! shakes fist.

Also, we aren't trying to use as little flavoring as possible, but we want recipes that contain flavors that synergize well. This usually leaves us at 3-5 flavors per blend, although we have a couple that are a little more "complex".

thanks again for the love, /u/rabidnz!

Thanks. It's awesome of you to do this.

What brand is your Tobacco absolute? Different brands seem to vary greatly.

Also, what drop to milliliter ratio do you use?

1 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

The TA we use(d) was from TFA. Nude Nicotine has some KILLER tobacco stuff that you might check out (although it is not cheap).

As far as ratios go... it is kind of up in the air. I think we used about 1% TA, and 99% PG, which was then steeped/aged. Play around with it- it was a pretty light flavor when we used it.

by SumDudeYouKnowover 10 years ago

Thanks for the follow up, though I was actually asking about your drop:ml ration in general. A couple of the recipes contain only a few drops and I was wondering how big your drops are?

1 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

Roughly 5-6 drops = .1 ml

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the recipes! You make the best e-juices! I was wondering what would you use to replace those cream flavors that contain acetoin?

5 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

We got rid of the cream, and subbed for vanilla swirl at a decent %. There is no cream flavoring that I know of that doesn't contain acetoin, sadly.

Hmm, interesting. Props to you guys for everything!

Does Bananberry Milkshake work without the TFA Dairy? (or can be substituted for something else, like a cream?)

1 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

Someone suggested whipped cream, which might work. Dairy has a unique taste, so I would encourage you to check it out and give it a shot!

1 points

by cencsorover 10 years ago

Thanks, this works well - really nice juice.

by senorchipover 10 years ago

did you steep these before you sold them? do you have a preferred steeping method?

3 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

No steeping required, but it mellows out the flavors. I would recommend trying the blends fresh, and if they "pop" too much for ya, let 'em sit for a week or so.

Thanks so much Matt. This gives great insight into the ratios and balance that are (were) actually working for production juice. Hugely grateful!

I hope that they helped. If you ever have any questions about %s, shoot me a PM- I have worked with a lot of flavors!

For Kool Beans!

Is it 2 drops caramel cappuccino no matter what size bottle or 2 drops per x ml?

5 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

2 drops per 10 ml (bottle size). That means...

15 ml bottle - 3 drops
30 ml bottle - 6 drops
50 ml bottle - 10 drops

...and so on. One thing to note, I suggest leaving the cap off of the caramel capp if you find that the flavor is too intense- it seems to calm it down a bit!

3 points

by bunkerking7over 10 years ago

Thank you very much for the quick response! Can't wait to give that one a whirl

Dayum. Goldilocks should be called Banana Buttfuck. That's a lot of banana!

Sweet, delicious banana.

3 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

Ha! It is a great recipe, and it was formerly called "Bananarama". I was PLEASANTLY surprised by this blend when I first mixed it up- it is really good.

2 points

by sliover 10 years agoTobacconist

It's definitely the first one I'm going to try. I've been a huge fan of banana ever since I got my Banana Nut Tobacco recipe just right (for me). Just know that I'll probably make a variation and call it Banana Buttfuck.

Thanks a ton for your contribution.

Thanks Matt! I hadn't thought to use Vanilla Swirl in French Toast! Goldilocks is a lot like another recipe I've seen floating around, going to mix it up tonight. Also...Damn you dairy for being the -only- one of these flavors I don't have! I'm looking forward to picking that one up now =)

Glad you decided to post these, I'm sure everyone appreciates it!

Glad to post these- you were one of my inspirations to do so! Have fun with Goldilocks and French Toast- I feel like they can be made even better with some tweaking.

Thanks for these!

Couple of Qs if you don't mind.

-Have you tried Belgium Waffle from TFA in French Toast? I don't have Waffle, but I do have Belgium.

-How crucial is the Dairy in the Bananaberry? I have all the ingredients except Dairy. :(

Mmm. Downvotes... did I say something wrong?

5 points

by on_a_mooseover 10 years ago

Try a little whipped cream instead of the dairy. I bet it'd work quite well.

4 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

The whipped cream would work well, good contribution!

3 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

I have a 16 oz bottle that I once accidentally ordered (oops). I haven't tried it, but it smells great. It would NOT be the same as the regular waffle, but it could probably be a tasty substitute.

Dairy is VERY crucial in the BB Shake. It doesn't taste the same without it. On the plus side, you only need to use around 1%, so if you grab a small bottle, it should last you a long time.

Also, have an upvote :)

Wow. I've been mixing DIY for over a year, and most of my mixes are really complex, (8-12 flavorings, I like subtlety.) I never would have thought that professional juice would be so simple and use so few flavorings in their blends.

3 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

Yeah, these recipes are on the simple-side, but they are still pretty tasty. Mix 'em up and see what you think!

way late in this, but thanks - have been lurking for a while and finally got most of my supplies in :P. Getting the EM, sucralose, and other sweeteners I will use is going to be a challenge me thinks.

Hey Matt! Are you ready to give up your 1992 v1 recipe? Please! Please! V1 was one of the only creamy/milky flavors I've ever enjoyed. And now it's all gone! 😟 myself and a buddy have been trying to figure it out, and we think we've come close a couple times, but not quite. Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Thanks Matt! Have you tried Banana Cream DX from TFA? Supposed to be a reformulated version, I was wondering if it was close enough to get the same effect - I am a huge fan of Bananaberry Milkshake.

3 points

by vapor_trails_nwover 10 years ago

I have a bottle of it, and it smells the same as Banana Cream. I know that the DX version of Hazelnut (both use Butyric Acid) has a kind of off-putting taste to it with repeated vaping, so I decided to not switch to it (since it is such a high % in BB Shake and B'nana Cream).

If you are trying to stay away from acetoin, it is worth a shot to grab a small bottle of the DX and try it out!

3 points

by LeGypsyover 10 years agoMixologist

Hmm. What do you mean by off-putting? Just curious. I've been experimenting with a lot of flavors based in Butyric Acid.

I found a slight plastic taste on a blend I was working on, but it could have just been me.
