My last post was on creating the perfect roll base and stated a lot of failures and realizations where this one realizes the better parts of my newest attempts (being the cinnamon).

It all started with wanting to create a cinnamon roll as my all day vape. A local shop created one that I loved before I started DIY and lately I wanted to revisit re-creating it but I think I'm creating something better.

So, with that said let's get the recipe.

Flavor|Percentages| :--|:--| Sugar Cookie (Cap)|4%| DX Hazelnut (TFA)|2%| Joy (FA)|.75%| Cream Cheese Icing (Lorann)|1.25%| Rich Cinnamon (Flavorah)|.25%|

Steep Time: 4 days to a week tops (crucial), this is not as shake and vape even though I did. I think I notice what notes will come out over a good steeping. A 10ml bottle of the recipe without the Rich Cinnamon tasted the closest to a roll with icing than you'd think. Though, I may revisit this with part 3.

The thought (my thesis):

• Sugar Cookie I originally got this idea from Wayne's mix of Funfetti where he uses Cap's Sugar Cookie to give off this moist cake-y taste. I lowered the percentages because I wanted a little bit rougher of a taste, a roll instead of a cake. Sugar Cookie has a history of being a flavor everyone should have and I agree. I originally wanted to stay away from this with prior recipes because the other cinnamon flavors used would draw my recipe too close to a Sugar Bear clone, which is more of a Cinnamon Sugar Cookie instead of a roll.

• Hazelnut This flavor kicks ass, I used TFA's flavor on this one instead of my normal Flavor West because of the recent problem with them. I hoped it would come out right but this is just an added nutty taste for the roll along with the sweetness that comes from it.

• Joy While deciding on mixing, I thought that Sugar Cookie may steep into a cookie without the right flavors backing it up. Joy was used in recipes by Wayne (again, big influence in making this recipe) in Funfetti and Bronuts. Here, I decided to use it to get a pastry type feel from the Sugar Cookie in hopes it would stay a roll type flavor.

• Cream Cheese Icing The icing on top, obvious choice and I lowered it due to my taste of it. I didn't want the cream to be overpowering in the recipe but be dominate on the inhale while the cinnamon was the exhale. This flavoring is a bitch to work with in my experience but I decided it would be best to try before expanding into a three cream flavor combination that would create the perfect icing.

• Rich Cinnamon Holy shit, I just got this flavor today and it exceeded my expectations from the smell to the taste. It is a true baked cinnamon and the percentage I used it at was based on other people's recommendations.

The outcome (the taste):

• Sugar Cookie/Joy Definitely a steeper for 2-3 days, by then the Cinnamon should mellow itself out as well. The roll was presented by these two playing with each other. Joy added the dough-y taste while Sugar Cookie provides the buttery, flake-y taste.

• Rich Cinnamon/Hazelnut This taste exactly like the cinnamon my local B&M had on a line. I don't think they would be using it since it's such an expensive flavoring but nothing else comes close... Definitely a keeper because it gives off a true cinnamon-baked taste when vaping, beautiful and tasty. Highly recommended in any arsenal when DIYing. Mixed with the hazelnut it gives a better taste when thinking that it's an actual roll, plus they got hand-in-hand.

• Cream Cheese Icing I taste hints of it at the percentage I chose, which is what I was going for so it will come out more as it steeps. A practice with this percentage seemed to create the best icing on top of a pastry than anything else.

Overall review and concept:

Definitely my new ADV (or the start of), the problem is the steeping as I'm a big "make when I'm out of things to vape" type of person but I'm getting better with ridding myself of the habit. In the meantime, my Honeydew/Cactus mixture will get me through. Though, I will update as the steeping occurs.
