One of my all time favorite flavors is Intercooler by Boosted, which is a cranberry-apple-cream juice. I'm having a hell of a time trying to make this work. There seems to be only one recipe on the internet for it, a post from five years ago on this subreddit, with a recipe- it doesn't claim to be a clone, but the actual recipe. That recipe is given as percentages of the flavor mix which to me makes things more complicated, but whatever. All capella:
Double apple 45% Cranberry 10% Sweet cream 23% French vanilla 9% Super sweet 9% Vanilla whipped cream 4%
Okay so I mixed that up at 15% in the final mix, 60/40 vg/pg like the original. And it is a mess. All I can taste is the sweet cream and French vanilla, which are almost entirely absent in the actual juice. I wouldn't even say I can detect vanilla at all in there. It's a sharp, tangy apple-cranberry hit with just a touch of cream on the back to smooth it out. Following that recipe above exactly is pretty close to just vaping straight sweet cream.
Does anybody here have any familiarity with the real juice, to possibly help me alter this recipe? I'm new to mixing myself so any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
I think a few people are confused by this recipe. It is NOT a recipe for juice. It's a recipe for a One-Shot. That's why the % look so high - it's 100% flavor. Here's the recipe with a bit of math.
|Flavor|OneShot|Recipe| |:---|:---:|:---:| |CAP Double Apple|45%|6.75%| |CAP Cranberry|10%|1.5%| |CAP Sweet Cream|23%|3.45%| |CAP French Vanilla|9%|1.35%| |CAP Super Sweet|9%|1.35%| |CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream|4%|0.6%| |TOTAL|100%|15%|
The flavor is rather high - but not too outrageous. You should try it at a lower percentage. Maybe mix up 10ml at 10% and 5%. Try that and see if anything comes close.
Did you try using those flavors at the proper average percentages?
Here's my recommendation for percentages. Total 12.60%
CAP Double Apple 6.50%
CAP Cranberry 3.00%
CAP Sweet Cream 1.00%
CAP French Vanilla 0.50%
CAP Super Sweet 1.00%
CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream 0.60%
Give it a try SnV but I'd recommend at least a week steep, more would be better. 3 weeks likely is best...
Let's assume that these are the true percentages of the flavoring.the easiest way to find out would be making a oneshot out of those and try different percentages in multiple testers
Well thats the problem, I'm pretty sure that it isn't the true percentages, because of how heavy that cream is. 23% of the final amount of flavoring being sweet cream...so for the final juice that was (if my math is right...) 3.45%
Please tell me those percentages are missing a decimal point...
They're percentages of the flavor mix? So I added them all to a container with nothing else to make the flavor mix, and THEN added that solution to the final juice at 15%
Just try using the flavors at the suggested average percents. The way you’re describing how you mix seems a bit more convoluted and error-prone than the usual route of adding the flavors, individually and directly, at the recommended percentages, to the same bottle you intend to fill with the desired vaping base.
So what volume container did you mix all those flavors into at the beginning?
What size size container did you mix that up at 15% in the final mix?
What's the link you found here?
Someone else just commented the link to that recipe, its the exact same that I mentioned in my post.
I made 30ml of the flavor mix, using the ratio from that recipe,
And then added it into the juice at 15% for a total volume of 30ml of e-juice. So I have a ton of flavor mix left over from that batch, I should've made less but I was hoping it was an accurate recipe..
I would start with the average flavor %’s and work on your own recipe. That way you can tailor it to your needs. This could be outdated and developed for a old school device or just a shitty recipe/clone attempt. There are a lot of bad recipes out there. Some People seem to think anything they make is a masterpiece worth publishing.
