Vanilla Bean Ice Cream FW

Rda/ Velocity

% Used/ 5 mixing % 2-10

coil/ Clapton w/ 45

Steep time/3 weeks Wicking/ Full

Mouth Feel - Smooth heavy and very dense I would give it a 9 out of 10. No throat hit.

Flavor Properties- Creamy and rich super smooth icecream with the the perfect vanilla. Not artificial Not spicy moderately eggy, heavy on the dairy, fairly sweet, and that super rich butter & cream you expect in an ice cream or custard.

Relatable Flavors - To me this is I like eating a spoon full of blue bunny vanilla ice cream, or a vanilla buttercream.

Off Flavors - I'm not finding any faults here I have heard people say that VBIC can be peppery. I have had what I would describe as spicy vanilla before but I'm not getting that here. (I'm assuming it's the TFA)

Position in the recipe - With its super-dense properties my opinion is this is best in a base, could also be used to Accent other creams.

Pairings - Other creams, berries, fruits, tobacco's, bakeries, and beverages like Cola or root beer.

FW VBIC contains acetoin, TFA's contains acetyl propionyl.

TFA's VBIC is the one people consider peppery -- the only thing I've been able to discern with TFA's version is that it contains quite a bit of water which might be added to a slight harshness that's associated with pepper.

i beleive this could be an extremely complicated subject and i dont claim to know much other than anecdotal experiance. but in my case i never got the pepper taste until one day i vaped sum mustard milk not too long after tokin up. it alwayd ruins my vape so i waited but not quite long enough. i didnt have any resin taste but i still had dry mouth and it was straight pepper taste comin thru. now i can kinda taste hints of it every niw and then even completely normal. weird i think. and if i dont wait long enough its always straight pepper

u should have replied to abdada not me... but imo no it doesnt. only sum ppl get it but if u do ur stuck with it. i only get it when other things interfere with my taste buds (ie pot smoke). after that it goes away.

I'm one of those pepper tasters and I can assure you it's not due to harshness.. It literally tastes like black pepper freshly ground from a mill. :(

I don't get it with VBIC though, I only taste it in TPA Vanilla Custard

I always said tfa vbic was peppery. Recently mixed it up and better described the taste as "dirty". Idk if that helps.

Love your flavor descriptions!! Thank you for your time invested in doing this proper!
Can you compare this to TFA's VBIC? To me, it has a dark flavor, dense as well, almost custard-y, not too heavy on the cream. Curious how this compares.

To me they are very similar, except FW's is crazy sweet. I've used it twice so far and each time the resulting juice was way to sweet for me. The only time I will use it again is if I want to add sweeteners with VBIC in which case I would just use FW's VBIC.

Thanks for the extensive flavour notes as always!

For people saying they taste pepper in VBIC, I have the same issue, doesn't matter what concentration, nicotine or PG/VG ratio. However steeping really does remove the pepper, for me at least. It needs at least a week of normal steeping to settle down and blend well. I noticed it first with mustard milk, and again with my own variants, and steeping fixes it entirely. Speed steeping with heat and/or cap off makes little to no difference. Have to be patient unfortunately, but it turns amazing if you steep it for 2-3 weeks.

I might look into FW's VBIC once I run out of TFA's. Seems promising.
