Orchard Cream

When I vape this juice I imagine, a woven straw basket, lined with a checkered red and white cloth, and filled with freshly picked peaches, sweet robust apples, cinnamon sticks, and a bowl of vanilla cream.

Development Notes

• Peach (INW):

Inawera’s Peach is a very versatile peach. Anything above 2.5% gives off a very spot on peach ring flavour; without the over the top sweetness. It’s sweet but peach sweet, not candy sweet. It tastes like the juicy flesh without the skin. My favourite peach concentrate. At 1.5%. it’s a going to add a sweet, fresh tasting, ripe peach.

• White Peach (FA):

Peach Fan’s should all know this flavour by now. It’s less sweet than Peach (INW) but is a very true tasting peach. Used at 1.5% will add body, a little tartness, and boost the intensity of the peach note.

• Passion Fruit (FA):

Passionfruit has a friend and his friends name is peach. They mix so well together! But be careful, because FA's Passion Fruit is very potent. I have found that at 2-3% it can easily over crowd your mix. At 1%, it’s there, and brings its flavor notes but doesn’t take away from the peach, only adds to it.

Side note: Passionfruit is one of my favourite fruit flavours to with mix vanilla custard

• Fuji Apple (FA):

Ah, the god of apples. What’s not to love. Using it here to add its juiciness, sweetness and tartness. I had to play around with this flavour's percentages to not over power the peach but still notice there’s an apple in my vape. I found at 2% to be the sweet spot

• Cream Fresh (FA):

I want this vape experience to be mostly fruity and to have just a lick of cream on your palate. So nothing heavy would work here, even at low percentages. Light, soft and creamy was the criteria. I tried a bunch of different creams, enjoying Meringue (FA) the most. But I wanted the sweetness of the fruit to shine and the cream to be well creamy. Cream Fresh was my next thought after. This was what I was looking for. Fresh Cream, is the perfect match on the criteria. It's soft, creamy, and very light. I played around with percentages starting at 2% and finally finishing at 0.5%. Low enough to not be in your face creamy, but just enough that it carries the fruit, on a velvet pillow, of light cream.

• Vanilla Tahity (FA):

I designed this recipe around this flavour. I have it but haven’t used it in a recipe to really utilize it. Until now. It’s tropical vanilla qualities accent fruits beautifully. Used at 1% and in combination with Cream Fresh, Vanilla Tahity (FA) creates a velvety, light, soft, vanilla cream.

• Rich Cinnamon (FLV):

Ahhhh I love this stuff and I get to actually use my non-diluted solution. At 0.1%, you’ll notice that rich cinnamon taste but it’ll be more in the background. The sweetness of the fruit take main stage, then the vanilla cream and finally, that cherry on the top note, Rich Cinnamon. I used it in my last rendition of this recipe and walked away. Vaped it a month later and here I am today.

• (Optional) Sweetener (TPA) 1%

I sometimes do enjoy sweetener and this is a recipe that works well with it's use. It brings the sugar in the fruit out a bit more without imparting any additional flavours.
