Just got another order in, loving FA as I'm finding I like bakery-esque flavors more. This isn't a clone or homage to any juice I've ever had, just threw it together; first recipe is what I mixed second recipe is what I'm gonna try next after this steeps for a week or so right off the bat it's not quite what I was shooting for but I suppose only time will tell (mind you I wouldn't post something that wasn't delicious).
- 1.25% FA Bilberry
- 1.50% FA Cookie
- 0.25% FA Cinnamon Ceylon
- 1.00% FA Vanilla Classic
- 0.50% FA Meringue
- 1.00% FA Fresh Cream
Next: 1% Bilberry, 2% Cookie, 0.4% Cinnamon Ceylon and keep the rest the same because I'm using vanilla to smooth out the cookie which has worked for me before and I'm assuming still is as I'm not getting any bite from this at 70/30 VG/PG and i usually mix around 80VG. Dialed back bilberry as it was my first time working with it and it was surprisingly potent which I should've assumed from the bitter asshole smell with a hint of blueberry coming from the flavoring bottle (amazing flavor none the less but overpowering the cookie and only letting the cinnamon pop it's head out once every now and again). Raised CC because I am getting the slightest notion that it's there and I can just barely smell it from the mixed juice but I feel like 0.5 might be just too much to the point where it becomes a foreground flavor. Meringue is a staple in anything I'm shooting for a "baked" flavor with and even at this small of a percentage does the job fine. Fresh Cream to round out the OP Bilberry and just to add sweetness that otherwise I'm not sure I would enjoy this recipe without as I thought it would be dry but I probably should've tried without it first to see what Bilberry brings to the recipe besides the obvious Blueberry flavor. Also if I could ever get INW flavors to play nice I would love to dial back the Bilberry even more and add 0.25% INW Blueberry.
TLDR; Enjoy this blueberry concoction with mystery notes and a smooth finish.
EDIT: Always puffing thinking bout moving the Vanilla Classic -> 0.50 cause I'm not tryna taste it...how can I get the cookie to taste fuller? say Joy and I'll flood your inbox with pics of empty bottles cause you fuckers buy it out every damn week.
- ~1.5% Graham Cracker Clear
- ~.75% Biscuit
also ^joy
I just got Graham Cracker so I'll have to try adding that, Biscuit is in the same boat as Joy for me but I can't honestly say I've checked for that.
also I've exhausted my PM's on /u/tranceinate already tonight here's the album for any other fuck boys that enjoy watching me cry as they exhale Bronuts and chuckle while subtly tipping their wickless-claptons at the screen in disgust at my lack of Joy http://imgur.com/a/Q43oG
I look forward to trying this.
HIC's notes on Cookie include "For smooth, sweet, rich cookies, begin with 1-1.5% Cookie and 0.5% Vienna Cream, then add your flavors." so maybe try adding the Vienna Cream for your desired "fuller" flavour?
No vienna cream :'( I checked that exact note too before mixing and decided I didn't want the cookie to be sweet, I want the cookie to contrast from the rest as the grounding? flavor. It's just not as deep as I had hoped in this combination.
Ah bummer. Vienna Cream is a very popular flavour, I recommend it!
I'll try your version, then might try adding VC (and Joy because I haven't used it yet!)
I would say Joy plays no part in this recipe, maybe @ 0.25% as the "X-factor" so to speak but definitely not looking for any sort of cake/funnel cake flavor in this. Biscuit would be better suited. What does VC even taste like?
EDIT: In fact I think INW Biscuit is what I'm missing here precisely. Maybe I'll try 1% Cap Vanilla Custard v1 in the next rendition til I can find some moar Biscuit.
