Looks yummy. I find the original bronuts to be a bit bready for me anyway.

I thought I was the only one. Taste like stale chocolate bread. Nothing like a doughnut :/

I dropped the yellowcake and used Cookie and Grahm Cracker. Definitely less like wayne's delicious cake donut; but I had been working on this for a while and saw plenty of people talking about "bready" harshness and felt the same when vaping it with a tank or rda that gave dense vapor. The jelly filling was something I specifically wanted around the same time

So adding raspberry is a good way to get a jelly flavor? I mixed Blackout from DIYorDIE last night, it's awesome as a peanut butter but it needs more IMO. I would love to make something similar to PB&Jesus from Cosmic Charlie, have you ever tried that?

Its really the INW tart complexity playing off the TFA sweetness. I also suspect that the FA Joy contributes. I have not tried PB&Jesus- what kind of jelly does it taste like? If grape- you may want to check out the INW Raspberry adding a tiny hint(.75%?) of FA Concord Grape(its like oversweetened grape juice) with maybe sub .5% of FA Black currant- those two flavors make a heavy dark grape/berry- it was posted a long time ago as the recipe for Catherine the grape from Velvet Cloud-

I don't remember it having a specific flavor, just really sugary and awesome. I've tried a lot of juice but I've never had anything like it. I don't have any of those flavors you listed right now but I'll get them if they make a good jelly. I'm not even sure if there are any flavors comparable to PB&Jesus but someone else might know, I think you should try it if you like jelly.

Just made this and did a shake and vape. Its pretty good. Very jammy(if that's even a word). Personally, the CGD can go up to 5% to give it more of a chocolate taste.

Can't wait to have this steep.

Hope you enjoy! Please give me any feedback after it steeps.

Nice, here's what I went with since I have all the ingredients for bronuts

  • 0.75% Biscuit (INW)

  • 4% Chocolate Glazed Doughnut (CAP)

  • 1% Yellow Cake (FW)

  • 1% Cheesecake Graham Crust (TPA)

  • 0.5% Joy (FA)

  • 2% Raspberry (FA)

  • 1% Raspberry (INW)

Tasted it as a shake and vape and the Raspberry hit me instantly. It might even be too much Raspberry as it seemed to overpower, but steeping may fix that. I also went with Cheesecake Graham crust to add more body and sweetness (not sure if that was the right move). I'm going to let this steep for a bit and get back to it. Next batch I might bump the Choc Glazed doughnut up to 5% and reduce the Raspberry combo by 25 to 50%. I have TPA Raspberry sweet on the way so I'll play around with that as well.

Interesting and different ideas-
The yellowcake I intentionally removed and replaced with the cookie and graham cracker, not sure you'd need the Cheesecake. I am curious what creaminess the cheesecake would add though(anything extra tasty?), as I tried several creamy revisions with Bavarian cream that were good; but didn't play nice with the original jelly donut destination. The TPA raspberry is a lot sweeter and less concentrated than the FA.

I'll do a test without the cheesecake graham crust and compare. It's definitely adding creamy sweetness to it, though. I am enjoying this more than bronuts at the moment. I also tried the bavarian cream version of bronuts and liked that better than the original. So when I made the recipe above, I made another 10mL with 1% bavarian cream added in to see what happens.

I tried to make a strawberry cream donut one day, needs some custard and jelly but this comes out pretty good too if anyone cares.

Ingredient|% :--|:--| Biscuit (INAWERA)|0.7 Cake (Yellow) (FW)|1 Chocolate Glazed Doughnut (CAP)|3 Joy (FA)|0.7 Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA)|4 Whipped Cream (TPA)|3

Oh, and on topic: Need to get me some raspberry flavors!

Strawberry Donut? Have an upvote

As promised I have come back to reply. I been away on a trip and have come back and have vaped it last night. I really do like this. Way better then bronuts. Sweeter and not doughy. Has been my adv yesterday and it like it will be for the time being.

I have made some modifications and will let it steep. I have droped the CGD to 3% and added frosted donut from FW at 1.25%. Then added grape juice from tfa at 2% The grape juice is to bring out a candy to the raspberry. Then the inw raspberry I swapped for flv. It's just a test lets see how it works out. I want more of a frosted donut then a chocolate donut.

Have you played with FA Raspberry at all? I'm working on a raspberry cake filling and have found FA raspberry to work well with INW raspberry in a 3:1 ratio. FA at 5% standalone is like biting into a freshly picked juicy raspberry, bursting with flavor. INW is a little more authentic, very tart and poignant but not very sweet. Still working on the cake component.

I don't have TFA raspberry and I'm not a big fan of Bronuts so I'll give this a shot with the FA raspberry :)

I do have FA Raspberry, but I honestly didn't think to use it here. Let me know how it comes out for you, and I'll try it this weekend. The TFA Raspberry (sweet) adds a lot of sugar and contrasts with that INW tartness. If you use FA raspberry, I'd suggest 1 to 1.5% maybe, but its definitely going a slightly different direction- more trader joes donuts than 7-11. Maybe try bilberry or blackcurrant even? I wanted something that tasted like that generic red filling you'd get from dunken donuts.

Awesome, thanks for the notes! I'm definitely shooting for a more exotic cake filling as opposed to a 7-11 flavor, it's ultimately going into a raspberry marzipan cake and the marzipan icing (also still under development) will have plenty of sweetness.

I tried 2 variations of your recipe leaving everything the same except substituting TFA raspberry with FA raspberry, one with 1% and another with 1.5%. Both taste awful lol.

I've yet to discover a combo of FA raspberry and INW raspberry that works right. FA and INW taste awesome as standalones and very unique and different in their own way, but I can't seem to get them to play well together.

Bummer =/ I will skip that mix then and keep working on my next creation. Thank you for the follow-up, it's more rare here lately but is very appreciated
