Yes, yes. I know that there are already several hundred Thin Mint recipes, but this one is mine. Also, I couldn't find one that used INW Milk Chocolate and I think it is the most authentic Milk Chocolate out there so that is why this made me want to make it that much more. My girlfriend has been begging me for a Thin Mint juice so this is my most valiant effort.
TFA Creme De Menthe 3% FA Cookie 3% TFA Graham Cracker (clear) 2% INW Milk Chocolate 4% TFA Marshmallow 1%
Creme De Menthe gave me that instant thin mint feel, that one is obvious, it is minty and it is the mint in Thin Mint. Cookie and Graham Cracker together give this juice a perfect crispy, 'thin' cookie. Inawera Milk Chocolate is the most accurate to flavor that I have tried. That is why I used it here to coat our cookie. Finally, Marshmallow adds that sweetness that is so common with Thin Mints. There you have it, a well sculpted Thin Mint with 5 simple ingredients. Good as a shake and vape, really rounds out in 3 days. Don't let this sit around too long or you will loose your mint. If it does sit around add in a couple drops of Creme De Menthe and it will bring it back to life.
Sounds nice, shall whip this up! Yea, Creme De Menthe just screams thin mint, After Eight. Interesting addition of Graham Cracker. Thanks for sharing, I'll report back :)
Edit: Yea I agree with Paleone123, I'd prefer a dark chocolate. I'll have to give it a few days to see what the Graham Cracker does.
I always thought HIC's Thin Mint recipe nailed it if you used it all in a few days, a steep changed it too much. Coil killer though, FA Cocoa will do that. The chocolate on actual thin mints is definitely not milk chocolate, more of a darkish flavor, or maybe that's from the chocolate cookie inside. In any case this looks good, FA Cookie is definitely the cookie you want here. This actually sounds like it would taste better than a thin mint.
I've got a similar mix steeping right now (slightly less cookie, bit of INW biscuit to flesh out the cookie notes a bit...personal preference, slightly less chocolate) :0
I'll whip up a 10ml of this too and give it a shot! Mine smells really good after just a few days steep. Wanna give it some time though.
> Inawera Milk Chocolate is the most accurate to flavor that I have tried.
I've put off messing with chocolate at all for a very long time because no commercial chocolate-flavored juice ever tasted anything but weird and gross to me. Just decided to dip my toe in at last and ordered INW Milk Chocolate as my first real chocolate flavor (unless you count CAP Choco Glazed Donut) two days ago. This makes me feel good about that choice, thank you for that and for the recipe.
Bit off topic, but did you know that if you stuff Junior Mints and Rold Gold pretzel sticks in your mouth at the same time, it tastes almost freakishly identical to Thin Mints?
Imo INW Milk Choc is alright but nothing to cry home about. I mean I'd feel sorry for you if you think that's what real chocolate tastes like and maybe send you a bar of Côte d'Or.
I tried the same recipe with 4% INW and 4% CAP Double Chocolate V2 and strangely, while the CAP concentrate is darker (basically black), the finished juice was clearer. CAP gave a darker but more satisfying chocolate taste.
I'm pretty picky about chocolate to the point that I can't even eat Hershey's, which is part of why I still haven't delved into chocolates after all this mixing. I'll try INW Milk Choco standalone at a couple of different %'s, try some of the recipes that have come out with it since Cuprian, and see if I can make it do what I want it do. If not, I'll be prepared for disappointment. It actually wasn't even my first choice for my first chocolate, but BCV was sold out of HS Australian Chocolate (1st choice) and I needed to re-up on some staples that Vaping Zone (home of BF Chocolate Truffle, 2nd choice) doesn't have and I didn't want to split orders. I suppose I'll make CAP Double Chocolate V2 a fourth option, but honestly the V2 at the end scares me a little, mostly because CAP Vanilla Custard V2 has that same vomit flavor that makes Hershey's bars completely unpalatable for me. Scares me away from anything with a V2 after it. Agreed, Côte d'Or is what chocolate is supposed to taste like.
I know what you mean, I only reluctantly grabbed the V2 because I couldn't find V1 and really wanted to try some chocolate concentrates. In the end I'm not disappointed, it's perfectly usable, but it's "chocolate" just like any concentrate out there I guess. CAP Hot Cocoa is another one that's not bad.
Thanks for the warning about VC V2... I grabbed a 10 mL of that in the same order to try it out. Bombies Kiss the Ring being my favorite juice ever, I'm still looking for anything that'll get me close to it.
Sorry for being off topic but there are a few threads on ECR asking for their juice (or lack of). Can you assuage their concerns? Thanks and nice recipe
