Weekly 'Suggest a Recipe for my Flavors' Thread - Week of August 19, 2016
submitted about 9 years ago by AutoModerator

Got a bunch of flavors but not sure how to make them work together? Post your list here, and our team of semi-professional mixologists will make suggestions for you! If you are impatient and want to do this on your own, here are a couple of good links:

  • /u/daath has a nice website that has this functionality, but you will need to register to make it work. It is not very intuitive but if you work with it you can input your flavors and get a list of recipes that you can make. IMO this is the better site if you have the patience to make it work for you. Edit2: to get this to work, first set up an account. Then add your flavors to the stash (under my page / my flavor stash). hit save. Then go back to the front page and click the link next to the search field, "Search by flavor stash". You can select a couple of your flavors and recipes that have those will pop up.
  • This site has a nice big search button with just what you're looking for.

Happy Mixing!

So do I, but I haven't managed to get TFA Sweet Tea to work well for that yet. You might have to find a different tea flavor.

Well damn, that's the only one I have for now.

I have CAP Sweet Tea too and it's delicious, but it's being discontinued, so that's why I've made a few (unsuccessful) attempts with TFA. You might try this: 10% TFA Sweet Tea, 1% FLV Peach and see how it goes. The problem I had is that while TFA tasted like Sweet Tea standalone at 5%, it completely hid behind other flavors when mixed that low. Haven't revisited that profile in a while but when I do, I'm going to try something like that, TFA Sweet Tea at a ridiculous high % to see if it will not go into hiding. If I don't just buy a different tea first. If you do decide to go shopping for teas, stay away from TFA Black Tea and FA Green Tea. I know one is disgusting and have heard from several others that the other one is as well.

Hi

I've added a little to my flavour collection lately. Although I'm still quite new to mixing so feel a bit lost sometimes when I sit down and try and come up with a recipe.

I've made a strawberry cheesecake and a peach yoghurt with recipes I found on the ELR website but everything I've come up with myself has been either bad or just ok, with the exception of a Summer Berry Cheescake which I found quite nice. I will share it in the recipe thread.

Any help and advice really would be very appreciated

Thanks

My flavours are -

  • Chai Tea (CAP)
  • French Vanilla v2 (CAP)
  • Juicy Peach (CAP)
  • Orange Cream (TFA)
  • Greek Yoghurt (TFA)
  • Raspberry Sweet (TFA)
  • Blueberry Wild (TFA)
  • Mango (TFA)
  • Cheesecake Graham Crust (TFA)
  • Strawberry Ripe (TFA)
  • Dairy Milk (TFA)
  • Bavarian Cream (TFA)
  • Whipped Cream (TFA)
  • Cherry (Vapable)
  • Forest Fruits (Vapable)
  • Lemonade (Vapable)
  • Raspberry (Vapable)
  • Cinnamon (FW)
  • Sweet Cream (FW)

Thanks. I'm gonna mix some of this up tonight. Will a 2 week steep be required for the creams and vanilla?

2 points
 
by thedirtyprojectorabout 9 years agoMixologist

Rule of thumb is that creams and custards need to steep for at least a week.

I'm running low on juice that is ready to vape. Will my fruit flavours be ok to shake and vape? Either on their own or combinations of fruits.

groovyvapor got me thinking: Recently got me some Green Tea (FA) and would love using that for a smooth "green tea"-ish liquid with a fresh fruit note.

Some flavors I have that I could see in there (here's my full stash):

  • Fuji (FA)
  • Apple (TPA)
  • Apricot (FA)
  • White Peach (FA)
  • Watermelon (TPA)
  • Pear (TPA)
  • Dragonfruit (TPA)
  • Lyche (FA)
  • Cucumber (TPA)
  • Lemon (TPA, FA)

Have you single-flavor tested FA Green Tea yet?

Nope, I have a sample steeping for another week that I have yet to try.

Hate to say it, but I predict you're going to be horribly disappointed.

by thedirtyprojectorabout 9 years agoMixologist

Sorry to disappoint you but FA Green Tea won't give you that matcha green tea taste that you like. It's wayyyy to earthy tasting. You need TFA Green Tea for that.

Looks like it's "buy a different tea day" in the Suggest a Recipe thread. Have you tried FE Green Tea?

3 points
 
by thedirtyprojectorabout 9 years agoMixologist

Nope, but if you're looking for a "tropical" green tea, INW Green Tea with Quince is promising.

So, I found this Lychee- and this Apple-Lime Iced Tea-Recipe and they both taste quite nice as a Shake'n'Vape. Adapted them for FlavourArt flavours below:

Lychee Tea v2 with FA Flavours:

  • Lychee (FA) @ 5%
  • Green Tea (FA) @ 4%
  • Ethyl Maltol 10% (INAWERA) @ 0.5%

Very sweet tea, could use a sour note, but potentially an ADV for me.

Apple-Lime Iced Tea with FA Flavors

  • Green Tea (FA) @ 2%
  • Fuji Apple (FA) @ 1%
  • Lime Tahity (FA) @ 1%
  • Arctic Winter (FA) @ 0.5%

Very interesting combination, very fresh with the numb taste of Green Tea. I'd probably multiply the percentages (except for Arctic Winter) with 1.5x to give it some more flavor.

I want to make an " I Love Cookies" clone. I haven't been able to find one online that I thought looked good.

I have: Double Chocolate Coconut Extra Peanut Butter Sugar Cookie Graham Cracker VBIC V. Custard Bavarian Cream Sweet Cream Vanilla Deluxe

I don't know what companies made what. I'm not home and I don't think it even says on the bottles. They're mostly Cap and TFA. I know it's tough without knowing but what would you do with these?

Hello all, I am pretty new to mixing, this is like my 4th order of flavours, I started off with the "10% of this and 10% of that will make a perfect 2 flavour vape" mentality, but quickly learned that is not the case at all haha.

I have the following;

Apple Pie (V2) - Capella

Banana Cream DX - TFA

Banana - Inawera

Banana - TFA

Caramel - FA

Cinnamon Danish DX - TFA

Green Apple - TFA

Sisha Strawberry - Inawera

Strawberry Ripe - TFA

Strawberry - TFA

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - TFA

Vanilla Custard - TFA

I bought these with the following recipes in mind and have this morning made;

Banoffee Custard.

3% Banana Cream - TFA

3% Banana - TFA

1% Banana - Inawera

3% Caramel - FA

4% Vanilla Custard - TFA

This tastes ok straight away, pretty much just a sweet banana, the caramel and custard need time to come out I think.

Strawberry Ice Cream.

4% Strawberry Ripe - TFA

4% Strawberry - TFA

1% Sisha Strawberry - Inawera

5% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

This tastes pretty damn good straight away, I am thinking off pinching a few drops of Koolada off a mate to make it cooler, more like ice cream.

Apple Pie.

5% Apple Pie (V2) - Capella

2% Green Apple - TFA

1% Cinnamon Danish DX - TFA

This one is ok, just tastes like apple with a bit of cinnamon really, not a massive fan of it, but it is vapable and definitely not nasty in anyway, will wait and see what it is like next week.

Does anybody have any tips on other creations, or tweaks to what I have done that may make them better?

I also have some super sweet, but haven't used it in any of these yet as I haven't tasted them steeped so don't know if they will need any added sweetness.

Thanks in advance.

That strawberry ice cream looks yummy!

Try lowering the amount of TFA Banana in your Banoffee Custard to let the Caramel and Custard not be overwhelmed with banana.

Add some Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (1% or 2%) to your Apple Pie and let that one steep for two weeks.

Thanks for the advice.

Just out of curiosity (Not questioning the advice, just want to know your train of thought/learn why certain flavours are used and when) is the VBIC added to the apple pie to help blend it together, rather than giving it additional flavour as such.

Also a little confession for the Strawberry Ice Cream I "borrowed" an Elements - Strawberry whip clone recipe I found on here somewhere, it is not an exact copy/paste but it is very close to that recipe I found ;).

Both the Apple Pie and Cinnamon Danish are dry, adding a nice buttery creamy element will help give it a richness that I imagine is lacking, and I imagine the vanilla won't hurt. If it comes out too vanilla-tasting, though, the custard might be a better choice than VBIC. Basically imagine a baked good without enough butter. Not good right? Just think of it as adding butter to your pastry. Oh, and don't forget those V2 and DX versions need a really long steep.

Here is a list of my flavors:

  • (Mango) (FA)
  • (TPA) Cheesecake (graham crust)
  • Blueberry Wild (TPA)
  • Caramel Candy (TPA)
  • English Toffee (TPA)
  • French Vanilla cream(tpa) (about 2 ml left of this maybe less)
  • Greek Yogurt (TPA)
  • Sweet Strawberry (Cap)
  • Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA)
  • Vanilla Cupcake (Cap)
  • Vanilla Custard v2 (Cap)

I have already made these plus a Blueberry Custard.

I would like if possible to make some sort of strong blueberry ice cream thing or a mango one :) Any other combinations are very welcome!

I'm not a very big fan of FA Mango at anything more than 1%, and pretty much only use it to add another height of flavor to other brands' mangoes. But if you're enjoying it in that Fruit Punch recipe, you should also like this simple mango ice cream: FA Mango 3%, TFA VBIC 4%. And if you like that, Blueberry Ice Cream would be just as easy: TFA Blueberry Wild 5%, TFA VBIC 4%. You can shake-and-vape either of those, no steeping required.

These should also be fun recipes to play around with, as I can't imagine adding 1 to 2% of any of the other flavors you have on hand would hurt either of them, for example, you could a Mango Cupcake Ice Cream (3% FA Mango, 4% TFA VBIC, 1 to 2% CAP Vanilla Cupcake) or a Blueberry Cheesecake Shake (TFA Blueberry Wild 5%, 4% TFA VBIC, 1 to 2% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust).
