Almond Banana Bread - My first proper 'recipe' I guess
submitted about 10 years ago by arpzilla

So this is the first proper thing I've made up, it's not complex and it does use TFA Banana nut bread as a base so I haven't exactly invented the wheel, but it tastes good and reminds me of Gemini Royalty which was something I bought a few times at £8 for 15ml which now, thanks to this sub and /u/enyawreklaw, seems absolutely absurd.

  • TFA Banana Nut Bread - 7%
  • TFA Brown Sugar - 1%
  • FA Almond - 2%

Would be interested to hear any views or suggestions! Thanks for all the helpful posts everyone :)

This looks awesome! Tfa banana nut bread is delicious, i bet fa caramel or hazelnut would go teally well with this as well! And although the prices for "premium" ejuice absurd, not everyone is willing to diy. Kinda like the when yoi pay money to go out and eat, the prices are typically 3 to 4 times higher.

Made some with 2% FA Caramel and it's also good, i think it serves to make the flavour more rounded, previously I think the brown sugar stood out as a separate entity within the mix and the caramel seems to bring it together more, nice one :)

Awesome! Caramel really adds that sweet baked taste Im always tempted to use it in all of my dessert mixes lol

In hindsight I think when making it again I'll drop it to 1%... I quite liked the 'sparkle' of the brown sugar and I think it muted it a bit, maybe at 1% it'll be perfect

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to make some up with FA Caramel and see how it goes :)

I just mixed this up. Pretty darn good. Probably costs you $0.50 to make as well, welcome to the club m8

Great, thanks :) Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with - it's difficult to imagine doing the balancing act with multiple ingredients myself but I've got a scale on order so it's about to become a less painful :)

Did you order Botboy's scale? If you did you will be o so happy. Mixing by weight is so much easier than by volume imo.

No, some cheap crap from Fasttech, it's only temporary, will order that American Weigh one after next payday - spent too much on concentrates this month :)

Looks tasty, I love me some banana nut bread from TFA. Heads up, if you are like me though, this will generate a lot of congestion in your chest if vaped regularly. Not sure if it's diketones or what, but Banana nut bread is a flavor I can't use on a daily basis or I spend all morning coughing like I am smoking regular cigarettes.

Happy cakeday btw.

edit: here's my Stawnana Nut bread recipie

Flavor | % ---|--- French Vanilla(TFA)| 4.33 Bavarian Cream(TFA) | 2.67 Marshmallow(TFA) | 1 Sugar Cookie(CAP) | 2.67 Sweet Cream(TFA) | 1 Strawberry(TFA) | 1.33 Vanilla Bean Ice cream(TFA) | 1.45 Banana Nut Bread(TFA) | 1.33

Either that or just drop it and add a little extra Sweet Cream. When I first whipped this up I didn't use Vanilla Bean at all(didn't have that flavor yet).

Thanks for that :) I try to vape a different flavour each day because I tend to suffer with vapours tongue after any longer.

I'm missing too many of those flavours to think about trying to do any substitutions but I like the sound of it so I'll save a copy and visit it later.

love the username, btw :)

If you see it on any site(with the misspelling) you'll know its me. It's my username everywhere, has been for almost 10 years now.

On the vapers tongue problem,I've found that a little acid, either via a citrus drink or something similar really helps me out. It might just be me, but if I am getting vape tongue I drink some Mountain Dew and it magically goes away. I've had a similar effect from Orange and Cranberry juice as well. Again no idea why, I don't understand the underlying chemistry of vape tongue.

As an aside if you like bakery flavors, Sugar Cookie by Cap, Cookie by FA, and Biscuit by INW are absolute must haves.

I haven't managed to find anything to get rid of it other than a different flavour, yet, but I've never got anything acidic around so I'll give it a try. I've come across one juice where the issue doesn't happen so far and that is 'Viennese lemon whirl' from Triphammer so maybe the citrus/acidic thing is the key.

It's only the Capella one that I'm missing :)
