Mouth Feel - Heavy on the tongue light on the nose. Moderately dense would give it 5 of 10 with a Very slight throat hit.
Flavor Properties- Smooth rich chocolate, halfway between semi-sweet milk chocolate and dark chocolate.
Relatable Flavors - Chocolate syrup you put on ice cream with a hint of cocoa powder mixed in.
Off Flavors - Almost none of the chalky flavor you get with most chocolates, does have a slight aftertaste.
Position In The Recipe - Due to its moderate density I'm thinking top note, could also be used as an accent for other chocolates to move it into the base.
Pairings - Other chocolates, creams, tobacco's, dark berries, bakeries, coffee flavors, coconut flavors, and a couple of the spice flavorings.( such as cinnamon or anise for a chocolate black licorice. ) My preferred chocolate at the moment is a 2:1 TFA Double-chocolate clear / HS Australian chocolate
Since you already did this review a while ago, I'll just leave this here.
TFA Double Chocolate (clear) Flavor Review
Setup: Velocity mini clone; dual Clapton (26/36) coils; .3 ohms @ 65W.
Testing: TFA Double Chocolate (clear) @ 9.4%; Aged: No steep - 2 weeks.
Flavor Descriptions: Let me start off by saying this is NOT the milk chocolate flavor you are looking for. A much better comparison of this flavor would be to Hershey's Chocolate Syrup except it is more bitter/dark and lacks some of the sweet notes. If you have not had Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, correct that fucking mistake and try that shit now - but until then, I can relate it to you as a semisweet, with an emphasis on the 'semi', chocolate cocoa powder (including that weird powder/chalk taste!). Speaking of that, the chalky note is most noticeable without a steep and at the start of the vape, and while it faded for the most part there was still a slight presence of it after two weeks.
Off-flavors: As just noted, there is a 'chalky' taste that fades but still sticks around.
Throathit: My notes say that it was smooth but slightly dry (from the chalkiness), so i'll give it a 4/10.
Uses: I do not think that this flavor would be okay on its own, but maybe with the addition of some creams and sweetener it would be an okay simple mix. As far as recipe's go, I absolutely love the use of it in /u/Enyawreklaw 's Golden Ticket Remix . I know Wayne has since revised his choice of chocolate for this recipe, but I still feel TFA Double Chocolate (clear) works in a pinch.
Pairings: Creams, bakeries, and while not my thing I think it could work in tobaccos.
Closing Thoughts: An ok semisweet chocolate flavor, but it lacks the sweetness and warm, all encompassing, almost buttery feel chocolate has (yeah I know its from the fat in it). It has its uses, but many mixers have recently been toting INW Milk Chocolate as better for many situations. Overall, I would give it 5/10.
Glad you're liking the TFA Double Chocolate Clear / HS Australian Chocolate combo :D
I get dusty cardboard from chocolate clear lol
