My Adirondack's Cascade clone (V1). Help me elevate it to V2?

submitted about 10 years ago by 0158014

Firstly, mad love to /u/AdirondackVapor for creating one of the most amazing flavor profiles in existence. Here's my take, feel free to critique/tweak. :)

7% Banana Cream (LA)

6% Strawberry (TFA)

2% Apple (TFA)

.5% Pear (TFA)

1% Quince (TFA)

2% Whipped Cream (TFA)

1% Fresh Cream (FA)

I don't have FA Fuji, but the TFA Apple works well. YMMV.

Definitely whipped cream. The original Cascade is pretty thin compared to other eliquids, so I'm guessing they're running closer to 20% than /u/mayor-of-whoreisland 's 13%. Big shoutout to him/her for the basis. Hope this helps!

I have limited experience with the original but based on my spotty memory, I'd say the fa apple is a must, then drop the pear, lower the Quince to 1%, up the marshmallow and whip cream to 1.5 or 2% - thoughts?

This definitely makes sense. I subbed FA Fresh Cream for the marshmallow because the cream notes are a closer profile to the original. I'll make another batch and report a side-by-side once my cream order comes in!

I use FA fuji in mine. I believe at 2%. I would use quince at 1% or less, otherwise it will overpower your other flavors.

Thanks for this, and the head's up on quince. I'll try these ratios when it comes in!

No problem man, what good is the experience if I don't share it.

Been months since I had the original, but it definitely has TFA Apple and not the Fuji. Could be another Red Apple flavor, but TFA Apple is close. I'll have to do more sniff testing, but a lot of Adirondack's juices have that floral smell to them. Could be a touch of Honeysuckle, or maybe it's in the Pear.

That was my initial thought once I opened my bottle of TFA Apple. The floral may be TFA Pear/Quince--I'm going to play with some ratios once my order comes in.

I've never had the OG cascade but why dont you try it at..

5.0 Banana Cream

7.0 Strawberry

2.0 Fuji

.5 TFA Pear

1.0 FA Fresh Cream

The pear rounds out the apple and gives it a nice boost (I use this in my apple pie) and the Fresh Cream gives a nicer brightness to the LA Nana Cream and gives it a straight cream flavor, it being more concentrated you can remain hovering just above 15% and still get that nice cream kick without muting flavors

If the original cascade is creamier than this, trying going for even ratios of strawberry to nana cream, say 6% of each. and do the same to follow. Don't increase the fuji past 2% unless you like more apple.

Thanks for this. There's definitely at least 6% Banana Cream, more than 'Nana Cream. I upped mine to 7% because I felt it had a little more in the original. I'm going to try quince instead of dragonfruit and I plan to buy FA fresh cream (have heard good things).
