Substitute help

submitted over 6 years ago by Gamblor19

I'm having some difficulty determining if I can sub out FW - VBIC for .....something..

Here is the recipe I am after but I have all but the VBIC:

FLAWLESS – AFTERMATH

TFA – Berry (Crunch Cereal) – 1% TFA – Blueberry Extra – 6% CAP – Glazed Doughnut – 3.5% TFA – Sweetener – 2% FW – Vanilla Bean Ice Cream – 3%

I have TFA Vanilla Swirl, TFA Bavarian Cream and TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato... would any of these or combo of these get close to FW- VBIC?

Probably Gelato, but it's definitely not the same.

Thanks I think I will make a 10ml and see what happens.

Maybe 1% vanilla swirl and 2% gelato. Like the other user said it won't be the same, but it shouldn't be bad in that recipe (imo anyway). Only thing I would suggest is trying it without sweetener first, or way less. I never use more that 1% with TFA sweetener. I prefer Cap super sweet at .25-.5 if I'm gonna use sweetener at all

Hey there, maybe I'm not of any help with the substitute of your vbic, but I also like blueberry. For months I've been mixing stuff from ELR, and almost all of them were not good, but I found one that was delicious

TFA Blueberry Wild 7% TFA Peach Juicy 5% TFA Strawberry Wild 7%

I think percentages are a bit too high ant they can be adjusted, but it is a very nice blueberry tasting juice.

Percentages definitely seem too high but might be worth a shot with a tester

I love that recipe. I would recommend buying the flavors you need, it'll be worth it.

Thanks it's already on order. I needed 18 flavors to complete recipe list and this was one of them.

I make a version of this recipe at least once a month. I sub Capella VBIC instead of the Flavor west and I use 2%.

I only selected it for a co-worker who loves Blueberry but as far as the ratings online it sure seems like it has quite a following. It is a clone of a B&M juice by Flawless from what I have read. I will never know unless I mix it up.

2% Gelato, 1% Vanilla Swirl for the 3% FW VBIC.

You're both right. It doesn't matter where you found it and you never really know unless you try it.

But also it doesn't look good.

I have the proper flavor on order already but I was antsy to get something going. Off topic have you ever tried the ELEMENT Pink lemonade clone? What are your thoughts on it if you have before if you don't mind. I already mixed some Mama Melons recipe which has a long list of reviews on that dastardly ELR so hopefully it turns out as well.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say you found it on ELR. And it's a few years old

Not sure how that applies to overall flavor or lends a hand to the original ask here. I wasn't aware that if a recipe is posted on ELR, it's automatically not worth discussing.

I haven't seen any positive/helpful input in your replies so far but thanks for taking the time to type things.
