I dont have a lot of experience with chocolates, but through the years have gathered that AP(Acetyl Pyrazine) used in very small amounts(.15-.25) can significantly benefit chocolate flavors, and I think it's accurate for the most part based on the number of people to say it.

I haven't played with chocolates since my failures with FA Cocoa & Chocolate, but wanted to toss this out there.

I started planning a pecan & praline custard...so I vote for either of those.

FLV Chocolate Deutsch is a terrific flavor. u/cheebasteeba 's review is very accurate. Very moist German Chocolate cake with silky smooth chocolate.

I've also used it at low % to boost other chocolates. Here's an example.

Yay, finally a FOTW I can participate in! (jk /u/ID10-T, you're doing an amazing job at bringing this back and I'm just a picky lil' bitch). Unfortunately I have only tested and used TFA Double Chocolate (clear), but I do have INW Milk Chocolate on the wait list for testing.

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.

Hope others can speak more on INW Milk Chocolate and more, maybe hook us up with a recipe, but I now feel better for contributing lol.

Whatever you do, don't pick up Inawera Chocolate Mint. Shit tastes like straight up latex. I had to dump 30ml down the sink.

I'd like to throw in my spumoni recipe here. It makes use of the glorious INW milk chocolate at 2.5%

FA Cherry at 2%

TFA pistachio at 6%

After a two week steep this is a perfect spumoni flavor. The ratios of chocolate, cherry and pistachio are perfectly balanced imo. This is actually my first original recipe and I still enjoy vaping it all day!

[Brad The Vapist's Buckeye (Test)]

Ingredient|% :---|---: Cocoa (Jungle)|0.25 Milk Chocolate (INAWERA)|1.5 Peanut Butter (CAP)|3 Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA)|3.5 Vanillin|1

Flavor total: 9.25%

Ill throw one out I have been working on and testing for quite awhile. If no one knows what a Buckeye treat is, it is a ball of powdered sugar and peanut butter with vanilla dipped in chocolate that hardens around it to look like a buckeye nut. This is generally known by everyone in Ohio but maybe not so much outside of the state. These are extremely delicious and helps explain why it has taken me so long to make this, not to mention how crap chocolates are.

Not a super accurate chocolate per se, but INW Mocco (aka Mocca) is wonderful. It tastes like the chocolate aspect of TE Captain, but without the tobacco taste.

It doesn't really have a coffee flavor to it at all though, more of a smooth chocolatey spice.

It will be excellent to mix with tobaccos, although I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Mixed @ 4%

Woohoo!

Finally one I can add a little input to. TFA Double Chocolate clear tastes like a tootsie roll. TFA Dulche De Leche tastes about the same, but creamier. Hope this helps someone.

I recently received INW Milk Chocolate and TFA Bittersweet Chocolate Extra. Any pointers are appreciated, and I'll probably sample them at 2-4% unless I hear otherwise.

I'm actually looking forward to creating a Twin Bing candy bar type of recipe using my new chocolates, FA or INW Marzipan and some sort of chocolate, and an accent of nut. No pun intended.

Any good GWAR German Chocolate Beefcake clone recipes?

Chocolate Cream by Inawera
Tested at 3%
Coffee. This is a coffee flavoring, not a chocolate IMO. It's a caramel like, sweet, coffee flavoring with hints of chocolate around it. But overall I would say the caramel is secondary to the coffee here, and the chocolate is tertiary. It's a bit like a dessert syrup (syrup not cream- language is important and I don't pick up on any cream here although the caramel does give it some body) and would pair well in applications where a syrup is needed. The coffee here is a bit one dimensional though.
Thoughts
I enjoyed this and it was a good flavoring despite a misnomer of a name. I see myself using it in desserts or paired with a cream (a cream such as whipped cream, dairy, or fresh cream), or any application where you'd use a dark dessert syrup.

Note: I'm going to run through my flavors over the course of the day and make an overall comparison at the end! These are my opinions and, you might've heard, taste is subjective. These are my blooper notes- short and sweet.

Edit: desert, desert, desseeerrrrt

Looking forward to this one!

I don't really have formal notes written, but I'm pretty sure someone did some in the past, but check out HS Australian chocolate! It's a drier, dark chocolate and it's amazing!

Fantastic accent to sweeter, creamier chocolates as well as for tobacco's.

Strawberry Milk Chocolate by Inawera Tested at 2%

The strawberry is a light background note that has a toffee flavor to it. This flavoring reminds me of those chocolate covered fruit filled toffee candies. The chocolate isn't much different from their regular Milk Chocolate. It wouldn't surprise me if they used it for the chocolate base. Because of the extra flavors along with the chocolate you don't get much of that chalky note as some other chocolates provide.

2% seems to be a good starting percentage for a top note in a mix. It's not super strong or super light at this percentage but would allow some other flavors to round out the whole profile. As with most chocolates you need other flavors to back this one up. I think this flavor would be a great starting point for a strawberry chocolate flavored milkshake. I'm not a huge fan of chocolates personally but gremlin has this flavor for 50% off so I figured what the hell, I'll get some.

It's worth noting that this stuff is black. Could potentially be a coil gunking flavor. I didn't vape it for too long to find out.

I've tried so many times to do something with CAP Chocolate Fudge Brownie V2, at a whole slew of percentages. It tastes amazing at day 2-4, then it just tastes like burnt ass.

I'm hoping some day I can have it work right......

Recently picked up FA Chocolate & INW Milk Chocolate, hopefully I can use those together to do something interesting.

Really thinking I might have to get some FA Cream Fresh as a note for them though. Maybe....

Milk Chocolate

• FA Chocolate 1%
• INW Milk Chocolate 1.5%
• FA Cream Fresh 0.75%
• FA Yogurt 2.5%

FA Chocolate for wet chocolate, INW Milk Chocolate for chaukiness. Cream fresh for straight cream (I actually don't have this flavor and I have no real experience with it, total guess on how it works and percentage) Yogurt for dairy

I wonder how far off I am....

You on your period ;).. All jokes aside this is the push I needed to test MF white chocolate and FW White chocolate, side by side. Will update in a few days. From research I hear MF flavors need a pretty long steep, so hopefully it'll be g2g after 2/3 days

Hot Chocolate by Capella
Tested at 5%
This is a little weak at 5% IMO. You know those hot chocolate machines at gas stations? Where you press the square button and then you get a cup full of watery hot chocolate? This is it, spot on. It's not a natural or real chocolate, it's an artificial one that's slightly watery, but it honors its name sake. It registers as an actual hot chocolate- just not the rich kind you might like. Definite potential if you can manage to thicken it out (cream, custard, whipped cream, get creative) and add a bit of complexity to an otherwise one dimensional artificial chocolate flavoring.
Thoughts
Potential here- most of the chocolates I've tried don't even register as an actual chocolate, whereas this does. If you can deepen it and round it out in an interesting way I think you could have a winner on your hands.

This is my first time giving input into anything. I treasure the opportunity.

I have just coppied my notes on this as is due to time contraints. Ill do a proper format on the next occasion.

FW Milk Chocolate @4-8%

Shake and vape This is an earty milk chocolate with a very powdery cocoa profile. The flavor carries throught the vape (inhale, pause and exhale). the milk chocolate flavor can only e tasted as an undertone to to the cocoa powderiness that consumes the overall profile. It is bitter but not in a pleasant dark chocolate kind of way, more in a eating a spoon full of cacoa kind of way. It has a hint of sweetness.

At 10% the choc flavor becomes more prominent but the powedery taste becomes overpowering. The bitter taste is suprisingly subdeued.

One week steep The choc settles and the powerdiness disappates somehwat but still prominent. I can taste more milk choc but it is an artificial cheap choc milk nesquick kind of taste.

I would typically try harder to get better notes but apart from raping my coils, I really did not enjoy this flavor and I just dumped the rest of the juice without bothering to write up comprehensive notes.

I too have been scared off from choc after tasting this one, it it just a bad flavor. I was really disappointed... did manage to get a vapable recipe using it. chocolate milk using 4% TFA diary, 4% condensed milk and 3% FW milk choc. The condensed milk was one of the only ways I could tame the choc and powder and make it remotely vapable. I can say that I wont recommend it, I am just not using choc so I really have no way of contributing how this can be used in your recipes.

More than 6 months and 2 dozen versions in the making, the chocolate in my interpretation of Bowden's Mate was a problem until I discovered INW Milk Chocolate. Then only the percentage to use had to be established. The Mint/Menthol percentages below are the closest to the real thing imo, but can be adjusted for personal tastes. A mate (e.g.) uses 1 % each of FA Peppermint, TPA Menthol and TPA Koolada.

Matthee's Mate
INW Milk Chocolate 2.5%
TPA French Vanilla Creme 1.5%
CAP Vanilla Custard V1 1%
FA Peppermint 1.75%
TPA Menthol 0.5%

I have been starting in a different direction for chocolate mixes. I start with a milkshake base:

• 2.5% TFA Cheesecake (Graham Crust)
• 3.5% TFA VBIC
• 2.0% FW Vanilla Cup Cake
• 4.0% TFA Vanilla Swirl
• 1.0% CAP French Vanilla
• 1.0% TFA Vanillin 10%

Which is tasty by itself, too. I make a large batch, then use it to make 10ml testers. I add a few drops of different chocolates to each. It is surprising how little chocolate concentrate is needed to make the base taste chocolatey.

I'm aiming for a light chocolate shake. A Wendy's Frosty clone would be nice, but any good shake is a win. I'm not there yet, but I feel that this is totally possible.

I have vaped a bottle of Hot Chocolate by the Chocolatier. This proved to me that a very good chocolate mix is possible.

I've tried the cocoa and chocolate mixes with and without AP. In my experience, the AP doesn't really help.

Has anybody tried rocky road by flavour west? I'm only getting in on Wednesday and was wondering if it's worth it or if any flavour west chocolates are worth it?
