Adirondack Vapor: Algonquin (another retired flavor)

submitted over 9 years ago by AdirondackDave

By popular demand, we are throwing out to the community another of our retired flavors. This one had a fairly short run and, IMHO, met an untimely death. However, there are still some die-hard Algonquin lovers (cough /u/vapemuscle cough) that would not let me rest until this was up.

Description:

A very earthy, dark berry combination. A slightly tart note from the Acai is blended in with the sweet notes found in Lychee. Other notes round this flavor out to truly provide something different from many other juices. This is a new personal favorite of those here at Adirondack Vapor!

Without further delay, I present Algonquin:

TFA Acai - 15%

TFA Lychee - 5%

TFA Plum - 8%

Ethyl Maltol - 3%

I don't DIY but the fact that one of my go-to vendors publishes their recipes when they retire the flavor just makes me dig them even more. Way to go, ADV.

How 'bout a vendor retired recipe sticky in with the juice recipes?

These are great, they are very encouraging and serve to remind us that yes, sometimes it is OK to use way more flavor than you think you should. I think a lot of us shy away from going over 15-20% flavor "just because" when there is nothing that says this should be a strict rule.

you realize this is a retired flavor, meaning, it didn't sell well enough to keep around.

I do, it still opens the door for experimenting outside our comfort zone though.

I think it's more relevant that it is an old flavor for old equipment. Older vapes didn't have as much flavor as our current setups. I'm guessing the percentage is more relevant to the fact most people used this flavor in ego pens.

Down below Dave says "... I have no clue what the mad scientist is thinking sometimes - it just works.". That makes me think there are more popular juices that have high flavoring or something else out of the ordinary.

> sometimes it is OK

If you know the consumer is using a CE4 then I could probably agree.

You're completely overflavoring. Don't you know that less is more with DIY you noob? /s

Seriously though thank you.

Fine - you wore me down. Here is the recipe for Placid:

3% FA puppies and kitties

7% TFA hugs and kisses

3% CASAA/SFATA support

12% Reddit love

1.5% Ethyl Maltol

Dang, We have LOTS of Reddit love in stock, plenty of hugs and kisses, but I'm going to have to re-order the puppies and kittens. Do they HAVE to be FA? The export from Italy on puppies is really high right now.

We tried using the CAP version, but it ended up giving more of a Tiger Pups feel. Unfortunately only real Italian animals will do.

I can't find any TFA hugs and kisses, would INW Coke and Hookers be an alright substitute?

5 points

by Jackrareover 9 years ago

If you don't mind the slight earthiness it adds, then yes. Personally I prefer INW Coke and Hookers. It reminds me of my childhood.

2 points

by AdirondackDaveover 9 years ago

Most likely an acceptable substitute. PSA: Using INW Coke and Hookers flavor will cling onto your coils and require frequent washing.

That's a recipe they won't release while they're still in business.

Acaí is slightly tart & very full-flavoured at 5% standalone....i can't even imagine 15% but I guess I might make a 10ml of 15% acaí in an hour or so...

thanks for blowing my mind again with your crazy looking recipes <3

Not my recipies (well, I guess 1/2 by ownership, not by creation). I have no clue what the mad scientist is thinking sometimes - it just works.

lol you guessed right, 1/2 by ownership xD

but hey, yeah, if it works, it works

This is an old recipe probably intended for use in ce4 clearomiser or similar ego pen. RIP taste buds if you vape flavours this high in a modern tank or dripper

have you found anything interesting to do with acai?
I mean, other than this recipe :D. I bought it as it sounded interesting, but it just tastes like grape.

I mixed some with cactus (INA) both at 1.5% 30/70 pg/vg. It has not even steeped yet and it's amazing. I cannot wait to see how much better I could get after steeping.

1 points

by mechchic84over 9 years ago

I just made a bottle of juice last night that included acai as one of the flavors. I only used 1.5% and it was more than enough. Granted it has not had time to steep so things might change a bit once it does but I still cannot imagine using 10x what I did.

Out of curiosity what device are you using for that flavor? 31% flavor seems like it'd blow up your taste buds in something like a TFV4.

Vaporshark rDNA40 with either an Atlantis or a Subtank Mini (w/ RDA deck when I feel like futzing with making coils)

See the whole "no more then 20% flavor" goes out the door! thanks to /u/AdirondackDave for sharing. I hope that most vendors will do this as well (cough /u/zerotoleranceftw cough) give the community where they get their ideas and inspiration from something back by sharing retired recipes. /r/DIY_eJuice rocks!

I never put any stock into and flavor caps, you use as much flavoring as it takes to make a liquid taste the way you want it to. Of course you can over flavor using individual flavorings. Consider for a moment that many DIYers got into it because they use high powered devices and purchasing enough liquid for ones needs was cost prohibitive.

Now consider that up until now the vast majority of vapers were using low powered starter kits and us high powered users have been in minority, we probably still are. Making liquids for evods does require a bit more flavoring, some of my early recipes for my wife, from almost 3 years ago, were pretty flavor heavy and had to be modified when she finally made the jump to RDA's from her ego/protank minis. None of them ever hit 30% but they werent that far from it @ 25.5%.

I dont have any of these flavorings, well i have plum and EM, but were i to mix this up for my devices i think that i would play with the %'s.

Thank you for sharing this. I ordered 30ML some time ago and by the end of the bottle I really loved it. Wanted to order more and found it gone. Glad to have the recipe. Thank you very much!

Wow these are very weird percentages. Just goes to show it's good to experiment with all sorts of stuff. I wonder how the creator of this even thought this up??

I have acai, and I am not a fan.
Tastes like a nasty grape.

But, perhaps I've been using it wrong.
I will have to get some Plum, and try this out.

Many thanks :)

Yes! I will finally get to try this and make some tomorrow. I've got all the flavorings listed. Although, I may make 2 versions and try the second one with half the flavoring.
