well......updated milkman news
VZ vanilla ice cream is still out of stock. I do have a working facsimile that is nearly spot on. I have used FW vanilla ice cream in place of it. YES...there is a place for meringue in the recipe. Thanks to the suggestion posted above.
I continue to work on proportions but will share my latest....best rendition.
I NEVER post my clone or my own recipes. I am not a lover of argumentative discussion. This is my work after a month of trial and error. If you mix it and dont have anything constructive to say please don't' say it. If you never clone a recipe yourself and are lurking for a recipe to save yourself some money and don't think my recipe is close, save your words as you will not be constructive. Remember....I am old as dirt, been vaping since the stone age and I really don't care what anyone thinks. I am posting this to be nice. I am not satisfied as yet that it is a 1:1 but it will be very soon.
note: I use mls. anyone that counts drops, weighs grams or uses percentages please convert yourself
These amounts are for an ounce bottle and seek to replicate The Milkman by vaping rabbit not onehitwonder
Bonnies Milkman Test 10/12
VZcream .5ml
TFA milk .75ml
NF marshmallow.5ml (I used this for that overt sweetness and full mouth feeling)
FW Vanilla Ice cream 1.5ml
FA meringue .75 (I find it added that smooth finish compared to a test without it side by side)
VZ vanilla bean 5 drops
VZ crunchberries .25
note: I am presently deconstructing to determine exact proportions and try the elusive VZ VIC. The alcohol in the flavoring requires a good breathing and I found a 3 day steep in a cool dark place smoothed the creaminess out. Like most cream based flavors, the freshly made flavor is not the end result. Do bear in mind that a week of steeping is ideal. That is my experience with this bugger of a clone.
Any input or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Negative thoughts not helpful unless they contain a solution by an experienced DIYer.
my thoughts......
- I had a whimsical thought of adding a tiny (ie:.2 or .3) condensed milk to add sweet full creamy note but have been tweeking the base cream.
-had another thought to add a tiny amount of plain crunch flavor to add that exhaled toasted cream note. Tried toasted marshmallow and it was dirty sock yuck.
-I am not committed to any one brand, I tried to use VG to replicate the original VG percentage (still unconvinced about "in house flavors) I do feel the alcohol lends a flavor note that is needed in the recipe.
- I am certain of VZ cream, crunchberry and milk. I preferred the recipe with LA marshmallow myself.....just tried to be true to the blend numbers.
-the minute I added the meringue I KNEW it was an ingredient or replicated another ingredient(s) 0f the original
Good luck and I await suggestions
Vape ON!
