I recently cracked open a bottle of this after aging it for a month. Thought it be fitting to post as it's all I've been vaping this past week

Green Cream

Sweet and creamy pistachio and cookie layered pudding

• Pistachio (TPA) 5.5%

• Sugar Cookie (CAP) 4%

• Cookie (FA) 1%

• Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA) 3%

• French Vanilla v2 (TFA) 1.5%

• Optional Sweetener (TFA) 0.5%

Pistachio (TFA):

is the star of the show! I started at 5% and increased it as high as Wayne's recommended 7%. I felt 5.5% was perfect to take centre stage but still let the other flavour notes shine through. It's sweet and creamy and very spot on green pistachio tasting. I don't get any nuttiness, just a pillow of creamy and sweet green pistachios.

Sugar Cookie (CAP):

is the backbone of the recipe. It adds depth and body and becomes the foundation of this recipe. It brings that baked, buttery flavour note, and it really takes this recipe up a notch in the dessert vape category. I actually liked a version that was just pistachio and sugar cookie at 1:1 ratio. But I wanted more cream and richness that this recipe takes care of.

Cookie (FA):

is used to boost the sugar cookie note with an authentic cookie flavour. Cookie by Flavor Art is very true to it's name.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA):

is used to boost the cream note in the pistachio. It is very rich and can easily become the main note. My range was 2-5% and found that 3% was the spot. It adds a rich, buttery, slightly eggy, vanilla cream that really creates the pistachio pudding flavour I was going for.

French Vanilla v2 (TFA):

is used to boost the vanilla note without adding too much cream. This flavour can be substituted for another vanilla (ex. MF Vanilla, or Holy Vanilla would work well here, if not better)

Optional Sweeter (TPA):

i like sweet vapes, and without the added sweetener this is already a sweeter vape. Pistachio, sugar cookie, and VBIC are all on the sweeter side. 0.5% is more than enough to just take the sweetness up to the level that satisfies my sweet tooth.

Edit: If you don't like TFA VBIC or rambling barely coherent musing this comment isn't for you.

This isn't going to help anyone who doesn't care for Mustard Milk, but if you like it, try it with the percentages reversed. Did it by accident once, love it more than the original.

Frosted Lemonade: When Chick-Fil-A came out with "Frosted Lemonade," which is just vanilla ice cream blended with lemonade, I tried it and my first thought was, "I want to vape this."

And now I can:

• 2.5% "INW Lemonade Base"

• 5% TFA VBIC

• Koolada to taste

INW Lemonade Base is 75% Lemon Concentrate, 25% Lemon Mix. I can't remember which of you I got that that idea from.

First I tried it with 7% CAP Juicy Lemon and 7% TFA VBIC. My first reaction to that was Holy Crap That's Good. But lemon faded fast. After steeping for less than a week, it turned the same color of orange as an FA bottle lid and tasted like rich, buttery, vanilla custard. Tried various other lemons and combinations of lemons at various percentages and still found it becoming much too custardy quickly or being lemon pledge ice cream. But the combo of INW lemon flavors both tastes perfect as a shake-and-vape and holds up for a least three days. I haven't had the self-control to let a 30 mL bottle last longer than that yet.

Apple Cinnamon Danish: Seeing how buttery VBIC could become over time gave me the idea to use it a 1% in a a really good Apple Cinnamon Danish recipe, where it does double duty as additional butter in the pastry and contributing a creamier vanilla to the frosting than I could get from vanilla swirl alone. But there's no need to share that one again; if you're in the mood for a cinnamon apple pastry, /u/returnity 's cinnamon apple fritter is so much better. I'm just mentioning it because it's an example of how VBIC can be used in so many other ways that aren't ice cream, like it's used to make perfect cake frosting in /u/enyawreklaw 's incredible Funfetti.

Going to be watching this thread in hopes someone posts insights that can lead to a good Mango Custard like the ones at Rita's Italian Ice or a legit Apple Pie A La Mode or Peach Pie A La Mode, things that I need to check off on my DIY bucket list.

There's a split between people here who can taste and enjoy vbic and others who it tastes terrible to. I can't vape tfa vbic but capella is decent.

What I noticed is that if I'm eating a salty food or even just put a little salt on my tongue the vbic tastes way better. I usually don't get much from capella vbic but with the salt I get a creamy vanilla ice cream. Anyone else noticed this?

Has anyone had success making a cherry blossom ice cream? Or green tea?

Made this a while back. The FW Ice Cream is nice on its own but the blend with the gelato, tahiti, and swirl made a nice mix. I used the chocolates together as I was happy with white choc but the the blend of all the different chocolates made for a nice blend. The two strawberries together is my favorite strawberry mix. The sweeteners could be omitted, I am sure, as I made this for a sweet tooth vaper(as was the high %). Spot on neopolitan to my taste.

Ingredient|% :---|---: Chocolate Fudge Brownie (CAP)|0.25 Double Chocolate (Clear) (TPA)|0.5 EM|0.5 Milk Chocolate (TPA)|0.5 Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA)|2 Sweet Strawberry (CAP)|4 Sweetener (Sucralose) (TPA)|0.5 Vanilla Bean Gelato (TPA)|2 Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (FW)|3.5 Vanilla Swirl (TPA)|1 Vanilla Tahity (FA)|0.5 White Chocolate (TPA)|1.5

Flavor total: 16.75%

I seem to like TFA vbic at higher percentages. Just taste really smooth and creamy to me. No way in hell I taste pepper idc if u think taste is subjective
