When a flavor is seeming to "mute" the entire mix after curing, what should I do? Should I increase the other flavors by equal factors, or decrease the "muting" flavor?
Thing is, I really like the overall taste of the mix, shake-and-vaped. I would like to retain this overall flavor after long-curing.
Recipe:
Ingreient | Percent ---|--- Double Apple CAP| 0.8% French Vanilla CAP| 2.3% Harvest Berry CAP| 2.6% Marshmallow CAP| 1% Vanilla Swirl TPA| 1%
So, which do you recommend I do? Should I overdrive the non-muting flavors or reduce the one that is muting everything? I think the muting flavor is French Vanilla by CAP and it adds such a rich creaminess to the mix which I don't really want to lose.
Thanks all!
All of the percentages look a bit low. An additional 80-90% should be helpful for this mix.
Wow, so almost doubling the volume of flavoring will help? Okay, I will try a test bottle and age it for a while (maybe 3-weeks, if I can keep my paws off it).
So, is that the typical workaround when using flavors that mute? Just crank the percentages up? Not being snarky, honestly wondering.
I've been trying to keep my percentages low, as I've had instances where I really over-did the flavorings. I will keep in mind that Capella flavorings are pretty weak.
It depends, for this recipe and these flavors at this low % then definitely. But others you won't be nearly as lucky. For instance TFA Pear... you might find it quite weak at 4%-6 and at 7-9% itll be quite powerful, too powerful for my tastes actually. .. it'll go from being a tease to completely dominating the whole juice. Or inawera chocolate cream... I find it light and decadent at 3% but at 4% it loses the addicting teasing creaminess and becomes something else entirely.
So TL;DR: it differs flavor to flavor and company to company, some you can just crank up but mostly they require testing which is why its important to record everything you make and write notes on what worked at how much
Those are pretty low percentages for capellas.
Yes, as /u/redhotmonkeyluv suggested, I will crank the flavorings. Thanks
Maybe try something like 4% french vanilla 5% harvest berry 1.0% double apple 1% marshmallow 2% vanilla swirl. It might end up being a totally different vape though it'll be a lot richer. What are you aiming for a fruity vape with a hint of richness or a rich vape with a hint of fruitiness? I've never used harvest berry wish I could help more.
Hmm... I will try your suggestion on the bottle I have ready to mix in right now! And I will do the additional 80-90% that was also suggested in a different bottle. Yours looks a lot more creamy than my low percentage one. Thank you!
ps - Harvest Berry is a very nice blend of, what tastes like, strawberry, blueberry and maybe blackberry. Very sweet, a good combo of fruit in a single flavoring.
