Hello everyone!

I recently saw a thread wanting more reviews on recipes. And to be honest I had been meaning to get around to doing this much sooner than I have. With that being said, let us get to the main chunk of this thread!

All juices made at 70/30 VG/PG 2mg nicotine unless otherwise noted.

Recipe - [Mango Sticky Rice by shyndo] (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/56405#mango_sticky_rice_by_shyndo)

Shake and Vape - I absolutely despised this juice at first taste. All mango and a bit of a harsh throat hit from the Rice flavoring. My initial impressions left me disappointed.

1 week steep - This juice changed entirely. For me the sweet spot is a week steep. This turned into a delicious and very well balanced fruity desert flavor. The mango takes a bit of a backseat after a week and the sweet rice comes through nicely. This has earned itself a spot in my rotation. I've been making a 240ml bottle every 2 weeks so I always have some steeped on hand. Top 5 ALL time in the recipes I've made in the past 3 years of DIY.

Recipe - [London Haze by hashslinginghashur] (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/39169#london_haze_by_hashslingingslashur)

Shake and Vape - Decent tea flavor. I went into this one with high expectations so this again left me a bit disappointed as a fresh juice. The lemon and cream was there, but the tea seemed lacking.

1 week steep - Steeping helped this juice, but not as much as I had initially hoped. The tea comes out but still (for me) seems lost behind the lemon and cream. That being said, it is a great flavor when I am looking for something a little more mild or neutral to step away from my normal bakery vapes.

Side note - The lemon and cream note here is fantastic. I plan on implementing this combination into a lemon pudding/custard at some point in the near future.

**Recipe - [Tiger's Blood by jyroe] (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/45957#tigers_blood_by_jyroe) *Note - Added 2% FW Extreme Ice at request from my wife for a fruit menthol blend

Shake and Vape - Pineapple menthol. This is all I got from this recipe fresh. Every other bit of flavor was lost behind the overpowering pineapple.

1 week steep - YET again the steep makes the juice. Fresh strawberry, watermelon, and pineapple blend that is balanced with a light touch of coconut. The added menthol also adds a freshness to this juice that has earned it a spot in my permanent rotation.

Recipe - [HiC Apple Almond Tart] (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-sugary-almond-apple-tart-simple-variations.13178/)

Shake and Vape - Mostly taste Apple Pie. Pretty one dimensional and pretty understandable considering it's a 2 ingredient recipe. Not much to say here.

1 week steep - Almond is more apparent for sure, but still pretty boring. This is the only recipe I didn't bother making more than once in this entire list. Not a fan personally. I feel like this would be a good base to expand on a true Apple Pie flavor though. Perhaps some added INW Biscuit and FLV Rich Cinnamon (1 drop per 30ml on this flavoring) would bring it more into its own.

Recipe - [HiC Limoncello Torrone Parfait] (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-limoncello-torrone-parfait-lemon-liqueur-mousse.1839/)

Shake and Vape - Light on flavor, but from what I could taste this is very well balanced. The lemon and parfait blend well.

1 week steep - Flavor has definitely developed. Getting a lot more from this flavor and is exactly on point with the description provided by HiC.

Note - I increased the flavoring by a total of 25% across the board on the second batch I made. I would highly recommend doing this as it makes the flavor stand out much more if you vape at a higher wattage.

Recipe - [HiC Lemon Meringue Pie] (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-lemon-meringue-pie.9895/)

Shake and Vape - Straight up lemon pie. Good crust flavor and good lemon but not noticing the meringue unless I specifically look for it. Not bad, but not great.

1 week steep - The meringue has come through and blended into the lemon nicely. The crust has dropped a little more into the background to really round off this flavor well. No complaints here.

Note - On my second batch I increased each flavor by 25% across the board (from 10% total flavoring to 12.5%) and it made the flavor "pop" a lot more. I would say this recipe benefits from the increase in flavoring.

Now onto my own personal recipes to share with you guys. I'm super excited about these because I truly feel like anyone who enjoys bakery flavors with fall in love with these.

Recipe - Strawberry Cake

Ingredient|% :---|---: Biscuit (INAWERA)|0.70 Cake (Yellow) (FW)|3.00 Cream Whipped (FA)|0.20 Joy (FA)|0.70 Marshmallow (FA)|0.25 Strawberry Shisha (INAWERA)|2.00 Vanilla Shisha (INAWERA)|0.50

Flavor total: 7.35%

I was originally intending to create the shitty Strawberry Cake you find at a cheap Chinese Buffet. Instead I ended up with some more akin to a Strawberry Shortcake Little Debbie snack cake. You can sub the FW Yellow Cake for JF if you'd like (and I would recommend it. I just haven't had any on hand since creating this recipe).

Yellow Cake/Joy/Biscuit - This forms what ends up being a shortcake flavor. Solid combination for a start to any "cakey" recipe.

Shisha Strawberry/Shisha Vanilla/Whipped Cream/Marshmallow - This forms the filling of the Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. Shisha Strawberry is quickly becoming my favorite Strawberry Flavoring. Shisha Vanilla/Whipped Cream/Marshmallow all come together to give us a light and fluffy filling. Do note that this combination also softens up the "Cake" portion of the recipe, turning it from more of a straight "cake" into a shortcake texture.

Note - Add 1 drop per 30ml of Cap Super Sweet if that is your thing. It's fine without the added sweetness but it is also very good with it as well.

Recipe - Snickerdoodle Cookie v3

Ingredient|% :---|---: Biscuit (INAWERA)|1.00 Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP)|1.50 Cinnamon Roll (FW)|2.00 Cookie (Biscotto) (FA)|1.50 Joy (FA)|0.70 Rich Cinnamon (Flavorah)|0.08 Super Sweet (CAP)|0.08

Flavor total: 6.86%

This is my third and likely final iteration of my own Snickerdoodle Cookie flavor. I believe this recipe to be finalized to my tastes.

I'd break this down but all this comes into making a single cookie flavor. The CDS provides a solid base and the joy/cinnamon roll/biscuit bolster it to perfection. FLV Rich Cinnamon and Cap's Super Sweet are used at 1 drop per 30ml. I would say these are 100% required in this recipe but you could drop the sweetener if you really want to. FLV Rich Cinnamon is unmatched though; it's a super potent flavor and added a really solid element to this recipe overall. You can drop the Cinnamon Roll and go up to 2% with CDS alone or drop CDS entirely and use Cinnamon Roll at 3%. However I like my version with the two combined the best.

I know this is a long post but I really enjoyed typing this all out for the community. If you would like anything expanded upon I would be more than happy to respond and listen to any comment or criticisms.

Cheers!
