Did I over do it with the extra vanilla?
submitted about 5 years ago by Lacking_A_Daisy

I know that certain vanillas will mute everything, but I wanted to bring out the flavor of the NR Vanilla Milkshake a bit. The chocolate is a bit muted, but it's starting to come through after a day or so. Assuming it will get better with time but am wondering if this should be reworked.

Dairy Milk in there for extra mouthfeel.

Hi. Holy Vanilla V2 is pretty bad, which is why they reformulated the reformulation. Holy Resurrection is the better one and third (final) version.

True? I haven't seen this about? I've never tried the V1 and was slightly underwhelmed with the v2. So v3 is where it's at then?

If you want to bring out the vanilla note more give FLV Vanilla Bean a try. Here is a breakdown from Concrete River

+1 I've been playing around with flavours for a VIC base and this somehow ties it all in together. Very good :)

I was just putting it in there because I thought it would bring more flavor. Thanks.

Flavorah sent me a free 15ml of this and its awesome. When I first tried it, it wasn't what I expected its really soft and about as realistic as it gets.

I agree on using a better vanilla. I haven't had the nr milkshake yet, but I will recommend starting with something like inw shisha vanilla or cap French vanilla or tfa french vanilla deluxe - all go well with cream recipes. But with that cream aspect, particularly the dairy milk, it will be much better after a week or more. Dairy milk really needs to steep or you get a plastic-y spoiled milk, which I could see overpowering the other flavors. It's very true to name imo when steeped thoroughly (although after fa milk most of my others are gathering dust).

Otherwise it looks good. Just needs a little more time probably.

Edit: spelling

French vanilla deluxe is great

I'll try one of the ones you listed. Should I switch out the TPA milk with FA milk? Is condensed milk the same thing? I have that. Thanks for the reply.

FA Milk is supposed to be the best milk there is. Although it's not available in the US do to it's ingredients (diaceytl?) So you have to order it from Chef's Flavors in UK while there grab some FA Custard Premium. It's delicious as well and not available in the US... Here's a tip to save a couple $$ Flavor Creative IS FA just with a different name but it's the same EXACT concentrate... I just picked up WF Milk but I haven't tested or used it yet... I really like OOO Milky Undertones and supposedly that mixed with WF Milk is gooood! 🤤 I also picked up VT Vanilla Cream and it's real good for a nice vanilla thickener (nice vanilla taste and THICK mouthfeel) so that one is one to think of really addding to your mix... I think I've read somewhere that Fresh said that VT Vanilla Cream should be used instead of CAP French Vanilla in the Ice Cream Trinity.... Maybe someone else can back me up on that cause I'm trying to find it again to be sure and then mix it up... Good luck! 👍👊

I'd just give it a little more time to steep tbh and see how it is.

And fa condensed milk is pretty universally known as awful sadly (if it makes you feel any better I double bought it when I started. Have 24.8ml left lol), I think the only way to use it is maybe .25-.5% and a 3 week steep. But Purilum or NR condensed milk are much more accurate to name and steep faster. Fa is more like if you had powdered milk that somehow went bad. Regular fa milk is pretty much ** the** milk but it has to come from overseas (chef's, darkstar, etc) like custard premium, pandoro, butter and a few others. pur is used more used but I've tried both it and nicotine River brand and they're pretty similar. NR has a little more dairy I thought.

Jungle Flavors Bavarian cream is a nice one for thickening up\adding body if you want to add a dairy finish.

Nic River's vanilla milkshake is solid by itself at 3 percent. At about a week steep it starts to thicken and richen up.

It should still be a tasty creamy vape though

It's a bit creamy, but it's lacking. I think it does need to richen up. I'm going to remake it and cut the vanilla.
