Been working on this recipe for a couple weeks now... I think I'm on the verge of perfecting it. All TFA flavors. Peppermint Peanut-Buttercup. Would love to hear feedback from anyone else who tries this one out. I could vape this all day.

Looks really nice. I can't imagine how peanut butter and peppermint would taste like.. 21,5% of flavoring is also a bit steep, no?

Also it's a very "peculiarly perfect" flavor, I got the inspiration for it from Here. It's lip balm made by these guys who run a really popular YouTube channel called good mythical morning, you may have heard of them. Here's the video where they first brought it up, in case you're curious. I watch their videos every morning with my cup of coffee + vape I'm hand. https://youtu.be/OlvLMcYCAS0 (it's at the end of the video)

I was wondering if this recipe was GMM inspired! The lip balm is surprisingly tasty, maybe I'll give this a try.

The idea of peanut butter peppermint instantly sounded perfect for an e juice.

Wow I didn't even realize I was using 22% flavoring lol but it still tastes great! Maybe I'll readjust it accordingly to get it down to 20% and see how that turns out... Must've made a mistake somewhee between v1 and v3 with the numbers, but this batch was still amazing despite that. Not too sure how I'll keep this exact ratio of flavors but down to 20%. But hey if it ain't broke don't fix it as they say

If it tastes good then great! Don't change anything. Let it steep and see if it still tastes good. If it tastes good after a steep then don't change the recipe. 21.5 is a fair percentage. 20% isn't a rule and I wish people would stop preaching it and act like something bad will happen when you go over 20%.

Preach it brother. I hate it when people do this too. If it tastes great at 20% then hell yeah. I mean you could try to bring it down percentage wise to save on cost of flavors, but it doesn't always work out well.

It's only getting better and better as it steeps.

21.5% is fair with an all tfa recipe. On the high side but nothing to fret over.

I find TFA Peppermint to be pretty wintery. How's your cool factor?

1 points

by SuckMyJagon_almost 10 years ago

Pretty mild at 3.5%. The recipe originally had 9% and holy shit was that too much

Hahaha, that'd grow icicles on your nose hair!

At 3.5% with the other flavors and sweetener it's really delicious though. I really wasn't expecting it to have that genuine minty feeling on the throat. It's really Really nice to vape

I just got TFA Peppermint in and already I have some ideas for recipes with it. Testing it at 3% right now but I may see if I can try to do a peppermint sugar cookie (tis the season) or maybe even a peppermint cheesecake (I dont know why but since I have a cheesecake base I like Ive been trying out so many cheesecake recipes)

TFA cheesecake? I hate it. Lol. But yeah I'm surprised there aren't more peppermint inspired e juices out there. I was surprised how much the peppermint flavor really comes across like a real mint in e juice. This recipe honestly tastes like a peppermint malt milkshake. So delicious.

I've gotta say I really enjoy the handwritten percentages instead of just a text post. I'm going to start doing this when I get my new fountain pen soon

In stone. Because mistakes don't happen. You just discover a way of not making it taste good.

Well yeah gotta keep a journal to document them and take notes on how to adjust the flavlors for the next batch lol

I just do that in one of the recipe apps on the sidebar.

One thing I wish it had was something that let me make different iterations of a flavor. That way I don't have to make separate v1, v2, v3, etc in the list. I guess all it would do is make the list cleaner but it would be nice.

haha that surprised me too. not mad. but maybe OP should post a text version and maybe link to ELR so people who want to make it don't have to transcribe the recipe from imgur.

I'm going to buy a leather bound journal and a calligraphy set to start documenting my recipes.

Hey guys, I i've gotten the flavoring down, but its not as sweet as I would like, I know some use sucralose, but this has ethyl maltol. Is this for sweetening?

1 points

by SuckMyJagon_almost 10 years ago

Yeah ethyl maltol sweetens

0 points

by Towerfulalmost 10 years ago

above 2% it will start tasting like cotton-candy (TFA Cotton Candy is just 10% Ethyl Maltol).
Below that, its a nice clean sweetener, that doesn't clog the coils!

Try adding a single drop of TFA lemon per 30mls. That's what I have in my PBC recipe and it really adds to it.

Good thing I have that flavor on hand lol

I already take notes, just via Microsoft word haha. It's just nice to see a hand written recipe instead of the usual format

I don't know about the 3.5 % of Peppermint. For me it could be a tiny bit to much.

But everything else sound good.

If you like, you could try a bit of citric acid(10%), from 0.25% to 1%. It helps a lot with peanut butter cup juices.. :)

1 points

by SuckMyJagon_almost 10 years ago

I think the 3.5% is good for me but I could see some people thinking it's too intense. It tends to tone down as it steeps, the other flavors begin to take over a bit more. After a few days.

If it were me I'd get rid of the dulce and make the graham a little higher and add a little vienna cream.

The dulce is what makes it great though lol
