Green apple candy, really simple.

submitted over 8 years ago by fireraiser77

Little story on the front here, my buddy has been trying to nail this flavor for ages but was getting more and more complex. He sent me recipe with 8ish different flavors asking if I could place the off flavor. This is probably the 5th time he sent me a variant to try, so I figured I would try from scratch.

10% green apple (TFA) 1% hard candy (FW)

sent him back a bottle and he was ecstatic. I figured I'd share it here as a reminder that sometimes you really don't have to over think all your ingredients and using something simple cab work out great.

NOTES: Solid juicy green apple candy. Not really sweet or sour, very much like a green jolly rancher just not as sweet.

24hr steep helps a lot but can shake and vape, flavor just won't be as strong.

Mixed at 20/80 pg/vg. 0mg nic.

This is my first post on this sub so absolutely let me know if I've done something wrong!

I actually just made a post before I saw this releasing my recipe for a Green Apple Jolly Rancher, give it a try if you'd like! I've tried recipes similar to yours, there not half bad per say but not quite as authentic tasting as I personally desire.

2% Juicy Peach (CAP)

2.5% Double Watermelon (CAP)

5% Double Apple (CAP)

2% Juicy Lemon (CAP)

I'm not a fan of Hard Candy by TFA, I feel like the chemical taste is a little too prominent for my tastebuds. Combining Peach & Watermelon I've found is a pretty good solution to the candy taste minus the sweeteners and less than favorable alternatives (This is just my opinion!)

Interesting combo right there I'd like to give this one a whirl eventually.

I have a similar recipe here's mine if you want to build onto it. At first I thought it was a bit off, then I was at the bank and noticed a giant bowl of jolly ranchers so I took like 3 of the green ones and it turned out it was pretty close.

(TFA) Green Apple - 7%

(TFA) Sour - 2%

(FW) Hard Candy - 0.5%

Sweetener - 1%

Damn! I don't have hard candy. Maybe I'll just make it with the other 3.

I don't know how important the hard candy is tbh. More recently I came to the conclusion I really dislike the flavor and may discontinue using it myself.

I imagine swapping out the green apple for tfa watermelon would get you close.

Apparently I have all the wrong apples... I need green. All I got is Double Apple, and Fuji apple. I've got hard candy though. Which I've tried to make mixes with, but none seemed to turn out all that good.

Try adding a little pear to the Fuji helps it taste a little more green.
