Seems like everyone's talking cereal vapes lately so after breakfast this morning, I decided to have a little fun. This is still in the early stages of development but very vapeable as is and should be a good launching point for most of you interested in creating a Honey Nut Cheerios type of vape (more a creamy nutty vape, not dead on the cheerios but damn good). Scary thing, this was my first iteration...i know right?
- 1.5% FA Nut Mix
- 0.5% FA Almond (add some creamy sweetness)
- 0.5% FA Hazelnut (earthy)
- 0.5% FA Jamaican Rum (background love)
- 1% FA Vanilla Tahiti (helps to balance the nut/milk mixture)
- 0.5% FA Oba Oba (just cause...try it)
- 1.3% FA Vienna Cream (sweet/spicy vanilla cream)
- 1.5% FA Meringue (sweet milk)
- 0.5% FA Caramel (sweetness and 'bakedness' to the nuts, could sub brown sugar instead)
- 0.1% FA Honey (DO NOT USE MORE)
- 0.1% Acetyl Pyrazine (usually against this stuff but threw it in there and it worked well)
- 2% Distilled Water (wicking purposes)
Mix with 90% VG and enjoy.
Like I said, first iteration but quite enjoyable after a shake and vape. Despite the praise I usually get here, those of you that have been around long enough know that I'm no super taste tester/chemical junky or genius. I just have a basic understanding of what I want to make and have tasted enough flavors to throw stuff like this together. This is super smooth, super creamy and yummy, the nuts could use a little more pop though. Will obviously make adjustments as I tweak it but for now I'm happy to vape this for a few days (yes as always, I made a 100ml batch as a tester...)
Have fun everyone.
PS - I don't use FW Yellow Cake in my cereal mixes as it always tastes burnt to me @ 0.15ohm on my mech. If you want to use it, feel free to make the necessary adjustments, once again, this is just a good launching point for those of you looking for honey nut cheerios.
Edit: Just realized I used 100% FA flavors for this, not sure why, they were just the ones that I thought would work best as I was going along browsing the assload of flavors I have at my disposal.
Just want to add FA caramel is essential to the honey nut cheerios flavor. I tried my version without it and it just didn't work. Also acetyl pyrazine definitely helps the cheerios pop.
That is a really interesting idea, I'm surprised I never thought of it. For what it's worth almonds actually are the "nut" in Honey Nut Cheerios, there are no actual nuts in it (almonds aren't a nut).
But, but....almond joys have nuts. Mounds don't. Don't tell me that jingle isn't scientifically accurate.
Haha, I know, right? Almonds are actually the hard center of a piece of fruit, like a peach pit. The almond's fruit is a drupe. fruit with a nutlike "meat", the seed, in the center. The fruit itself is green and sour when young and they do eat it in some places dipped in salt (to take the edge off).

####	 Drupe:
>In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is an [indehiscent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehiscence_(botany)) fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin; and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a shell (the pit, stone, or pyrene) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. These fruits usually develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries (polypyrenous drupes are exceptions). The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower. In an aggregate fruit composed of small, individual drupes, each individual is termed a drupelet.

Well, now I have another mix to put the Oba Oba in. Curious flavor, don't ya think? I have Summer Clouds that I got on a buy, haven't even cracked the shrink wrap. I'm lacking Almond and Jamaican Rum.
Botboy, have you ever experimented with Anise in cereal mixes? I just picked up a bottle of Looper recently and I swear to god I can taste a little bit of anise/black licorice in it. Once I knew it was there, it completely changed the way I tasted the juice, but beforehand it added to the creaminess in such a mysterious way. I don't personally have any to try it with but if you do, I think it could be an interesting addition. Let me know if you try it.
I have not tried anise in cereal mixes. Will maybe throw a drop in a small batch and see what happens. I don't think it'd work too well in this particular mix (too heavy of a top note) but I could see it working well in Cereal Killer or Looper.
It's just very interesting to me. I was trying to clone looper, was missing one element of the cream, when i dripped them side by side the only thing i could taste all of a sudden when i dripped looper was.... black licorice? I was like wtf they put black licorice in here? lol
The recipes looks solid, mixing this tomorrow but... no FA marzipan? Did you omit that one, cause it almost looks like you are mixing around it... I think it could practically be the base of a honey nut cheerio.
My 2 cents aside, I'm really excited about this, thanks for sharing. Diketone-free ADV's are valuable :)
Marzipan could definitely be added in based on your preference here. I didn't even think of it at the time to be honest lol
The fact this is an all FA honey nut cheerio with no marzipan is itself an accomplishment lol. I read of a few people on VU who hate FA marzipan (I think they're crazy, shit is delicious) so this may have some unintended niche value for them too
