I'm sorry my Waffle Flavor of the Week titles give some of you the Crepes!

submitted about 8 years ago by ID10-TWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!

Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

This week's flavor is: Waffles/Pancakes

How did that get to be the FOTW?

It was requested. If you're not interested in this FOTW, please take this opportunity and comment to suggest one that interests you (or send me a PM to do that).

FW waffle: Heavy on the maple syrup, with a backnote of bakery type aroma. Its hard to use this as a standalone waffle flavor because its really unbalanced. Sort of like having a nibble of a waffle with a shot of syrup as a chaser. Def usable and works nicely as the maple syrup in waffle mix. I'd go with some CAP sugar cookie, FA cookie, or maybe some graham crackers or cereal flavors to try and get that waffle part more up to speed. This could work anywhere you need a maple flavor and I think it should be renamed to maple syrup! Recommended usage range 1-3%, its pretty strong for FW.
LB Belgian Waffle: This ones a keeper. Very nice waffle/maple syrup flavor. More balanced with the bakery/waffle notes than the FW offering. I like this one alone at 4-5%. I used it as the main note in a waffle recipe right at 4% with some FA maple and a couple other things thrown in for good measure. Very easy to work with and just does what you want it to do. I wouldn't go past 5% because it can get harsh but at 4% there's little to no throat hit. I have a 60ml of this now and would definitely buy more when I run low. Recommended usage range 3-6%
have not tried either of the tfa waffles because I've read hit and miss stuff about them. I could be missing something but I really think LB Belgian waffle is where its at.
INW waffle: from what I remember it tastes like a hot iron skillet. Even a 10% dilution at .25% was too much for me and it ended up being all I could taste. I know many out there enjoyed this one but I hated it. I don't miss it at all and whatever was in there was fuckin crazy.

Weird, I've tried using the LB Belgian Waffle @ 4% and it gives me this funny burnt taste, have you ever run into that?

Kind of off topic but I went to go mix Dutchie as I just got the final ingredient in today and my INW Waffle completely evaporated from the bottle that was in a sealed bag.

Good thing I made a dilution of it but now I wont have a bottle to last the rest of my life.

That's so sad.

Their Shisha Orange does that too. Just disappears out of the bottle.

My heart is broken. Now I have 9mls of a 10% dilution to last me till they come out with a less awesome version of waffle.

One of the mysteries of life. Where did the flavoring go? Why did it leave me so suddenly? A question that will go unanswered but I'll ask God when I see him with that free question they talk about. It's a tie between why does it take so long for people to accelerate at a green light and what the hell happened to the waffle?

I need to visit Waffles/Pancakes again. I only ever tried TFA Waffle and it tasted like runny low-quality maple syrup to me.

That does not sound promising at all.

I hear LB Belgian Waffle is pretty good.

I have FA Maple Syrup, however I don't have any waffle or pancake flavors. Anyone care to weigh in on FA Maple Syrup? I have yet to try it...

I just got it recently myself, still haven't done the single-flavor testing, though I have someone's recipe with it steeping right now. That one won't do you any good, since you don't have any waffles, much less a discontinued waffle, but this one looks right up your alley.

I don't know what the hell is going on with those "flavor notes," but this one looks interesting too.

I'm missing FA Banana for the one, and I'm missing FLV Cream for the other. Not big on bananas, but that FLV Cream seems to be making its rounds in the recipe world.

Is there a valid substitute for FLV Cream, or should I just bite the bullet and spend the extra cash on FLV? On that note, is there any other over-priced FLV flavors I can't live without? Plz advise...

I've heard of CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream at about 2x the amount working as a decent stand in for FLV Cream, but I recommend going ahead and getting it. It's one you'll use at 1% or below anyway so it's not super expensive.

Obviously FLV Mango! Worth every penny. All of their tobaccos, but if you're skeptical just start with Red Burley and Cured. Rich Cinnamon, one bottle is a lifetime supply and it's one of a kind. What else besides those four that you CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT? Depends entirely on what you're into. I think you personally would like Bourbon and Butterscotch, Sweet Coconut and Guanabana and Pink Guava could change your life, Frosting is awesome, several others are super neat... but "can't live without?" I'd start with Cream, Mango, Red Burley, Cured, Pink Guava, and Rich Cinnamon. Maybe some Peanut Butter and Grape while you're at it, Goober.

That last recipe is a real wtf to me. 0.1% of some of those flavors has to be pretty underwhelming. Combine that with the notes and its just funny

The notes are some kind of bizarro world haiku but that's a solid % of Banana, I'm guess the mixer just wanted to alter the Banana just so without anything else being identifiable.

> a discontinued waffle

So has anyone developed a decent sub for the YC Waffle in Dutchie?

3 points

by HashSlingingSlashurabout 8 years ago

It's solid. I love this flavor.

You need to bump it up to 2-3% for it to really stand up to other aromas but when you need maple, look no further. Very authentic maple , I made a mix for someone whos family owns a sugar house. They said it was the best maple vape they've had.

Note: I also used FA honey + FA caramel to complete the burnt sugar aspect of a maple sugar dessert.

Give it a go where you need maple or try it alone at 2% and see wusssup

Thanks for that, this was one of those 10mL flavors I ordered to get my order into the free shipping range at BCF. I have some others that I ordered and have not tried as well, but I will take heed to your suggestions and figure out a recipe where I can use it! Thanks again.

Any decent recipes you can throw out for inspiration?

When I was buying juice I was a big fan of French Dude- waffle with maple syrup sprinkled with blueberries. I recently found a very good clone recipe for this juice which is: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/27262#french_fellow_remixmonth_by_method1

However, I have also taken a look at the remix month recipe by diyordie: https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/52276#french_dude_remix_remixmonth_by_enyawreklaw But I have not mixed it myself.

Is there anyone who has tried both or has any feedback on how they fare against each other?
