Hello fellow DIYers, Justin here from Crown Clouds. I released a list of retired recipes from my company earlier (hope you've all had a chance to check them out!) but I also wanted to make a post on a flavor I've been working on for a long time myself and have finally gotten down (at least to my tastebuds). This isn't something I plan on selling via my company, as jolly rancher flavors are popular, but there's so many bad ones out there I'd rather not even try to market it. At the least I figured the DIY community here could make some use of it!
One main thing that sets my company / myself apart from most, is I really don't like to use artificial sweeteners in my flavorings, I think most of us can agree we like our coils to last longer than 3 days. For a candy flavor however, that's obviously a difficult task, but I think I've finally found the solution by combining several fruits to create a mock "candy" taste w/o the typical "hard candy (FW" route so many try.
Without further a do, the recipe for
Green Apple Jolly Rancher
2% Juicy Peach (CAP)
2.5% Double Watermelon (CAP)
5% Double Apple (CAP)
2% Juicy Lemon (CAP)
Using Juicy Peach & Double Watermelon together in small percentages gives that light background candy taste, the lemon of course helps with the sour note. You can use these bases to create other variations of Jolly Rancher fairly well.
If you don't care about sweeteners, a little bit of (TFA) Sweet & Tart or Super Sweet (CAP) might make it even better, haven't tried adding those myself though.
Decent shake & vape, but after about 10 days of steeping its phenomenal!
I've made a couple variations of the recipe for the Blueberry & Watermelon flavors as well. After trying out a couple more of variations over the next few days I'll release those as well if anyone is interested.
Enjoy guys!
Thanks for the great notes with the recipe. Little tidbits of information like this are gold.
This is more Capella that I don't have. I see a shopping cart filling up.
Do you normally mix all Capella?
Glad I could be of some help! I don't usually use all Capella, I usually mix various brands, it really just depends on what flavor I'm going for. I had actually just noticed earlier this recipe was all CAP and surprised myself. Check out my other post in the sub reddit where I released a recipe dump for my company's retired flavors if you'd like, perfect example where I'm all over the place with different brands at times lol.
Weird, didn't know CAP made a Juicy Peach.
It's delicious. Way better then TFA IMO and doesn't have the harshness you get from TFA
I'll have to check it out. The TFA version is pretty tasty, I don't think I've used it at high enough percentages to experience the throat hit from it.... but I'm always looking for more good peach flavors. Peach and Strawberry are my favorite vape fruits; well, blueberry is starting to become one as well, lol.
