Need Help with a substitute for marshmallow (TFA)

submitted about 9 years ago by colby2992

I'm trying to make a milk and honey clone but I do not have TFA Marshmallow, or any marshmallow flavor. I was thinking of adding brown sugar for the sweetness? I've read notes on marshmallow flavorings and I'm not sure what I could use to add a similar flavor in this recipe. If anyone has vaped Milk and Honey by Cosmic fog, throw me some recommendations please. Sorry If this post is breaking any rules.

To be honest, most marshmallow flavors are pretty similar. I would honestly just pick one up - be it TFA, CAP, FA, or whatever.

I know that doesn't answer your question, but, really, Marshmallow is basically a staple.

brown sugar and marshmallow are not even close, different ballpark, different game, in a different city all together.

Get some marshmallow. any brand will do..

I find brown sugar adds a more molasses type flavor. Marshmallow definitely is marshmallow, as well as a different texture/mouth feel.

Here is Wayne's comparison of the different marshmallows available.

I also recommend picking up a marshmallow flavor or two. I think the two most popular are probably TPA and FA. That being said if you are trying to add sweetness FA Meringue at 0.75-2% always works for me

I think Marshmallow of all companies are undetectable with anything.

All it does it add a 'tiny' bit of texture. Just add EM and the same effect occurs.

Exactly. I would just omit the marshmallow in the recipe completely, if I don't have a marshmallow concentrate. Marsh typically doesn't add flavor, but rather, mouthfeel and sweetness. Your EM recommendation is sound.

Ethyl Maltol

Fa marshmallow is the best one for that IMO but it still isn't a strong flavor.

IMO, there is no flavor other than marshmallow that is going to taste like marshmallow. You can try a mixture of ethyl maltol and light vanilla. Other than that, I would just buy the flavoring. They are cheap.

Brown sugar will actually work here because I know it worked when I tried to clone it. Here's what my attempt developed into: Nancy

You could get away with removing the marshmallows and FA creams and still be fine and close to M&H.

I wish you luck on any honey adventure my friend. I fail at honey quite well. I just can't get anything to taste like real honey.... Only floral honey notes. But what I'm really looking for is the taste you get when you turn that bear upside down and squeeze that motherfucker all over your food. That's the kind I honey I want.

I just mixed up a Milk and Honey clone and added some Brown sugar extra and caramel, and it tastes like a mouthful of honey. Very sweet.

Graham cracker clear (TFA) 8%
Vanilla swirl 2%
vanilla custard (CAP) 2%
Peanut butter (TFA) 1.5%
Caramel (FA) 1.5%
Brown sugar extra (TFA) .5%

It's not exactly what I wanted, but it may change for the better with steeping.

Glad you ended up with something you like.

What's the peanut butter for? I've never owned any brand of PB before, so I'm not quite sure what it tastes like or what It can do to a mix.

Vapeing peanut butter just sounds kind of weird to me for some reason, but I'm assuming it's used as some kind of back end note supporting flavor that adds certain properties but doesn't sit up front on your palate as the main flavors would?

Kinda like banana cream at 0.5-1.0% in a mix that you don't want to really taste the banana, you just want the sweetness, texture, mouth feel, creaminess, and body it sometimes brings to a fruity cream or yogurt kinda mix?

Yeah TFA peanut butter is a really dry nutty taste. In my experience, to get a well rounded peanut butter taste I mix it half and half with CAP peanut butter. CAP's is more creamy and sweet. And in this recipe its mostly just a nutty undertone.

possibly whipcream or bavirian cream could work. i know alot of the mixes i make have one or the other in them and ill exchange marshmallow as needed.

Yeah you can do so much with marshmallow you just need to get some. I usually end up using FA the most, but you'd be surprised how handy it can come in. At 1% in fruits will cut down some harshness and give some better mouth feel, a little higher in creams adds a bit of sweet and fullness. Its so useful, and I can't think of anything you could sub it out for.
