About to make a Black Cherry Cream. What are your thoughts?

[WubTastic]

Hi all,

I'm doing DIY 1 week now and I'm loving it. My recipes are not really that good so I figured I ask the more experienced guys for some feedback.

My goal is to make a Black Cherry Cream like vape.

The recipe I came up with:
Black Cherry [TFA] - 10%
Raspberry (sweet) [TFA] - 2%
Bavarian Cream [TFA] - 6%
Vanilla Swirl [TFA] - 3%
Marshmallow [TFA] - 2%

Total flavouring: 23%
VG/PG - 70/30
Nicotine - 6mg/ml

The Bavarian Cream + Vanilla Swirl + Marshmallow to make the "Cream". The Raspberry is in it to support the Black Cherry and make it a little more sweet.

Other flavours I have:
Strawberry [TFA]
Watermelon [TFA]
Blueberry (Wild) [TFA]
Lychee [TFA]
Cotton Candy [TFA]
New York Cheesecake [CAP]


So, what you guys think?

If it were me, I'd start with a lower % of almost everything listed. You can actually do more harm by over flavoring than under flavoring.,

I'd start with this:

Black Cherry 4%
Raspberry 2%
Bavarian Cream 3%
Vanilla Swirl 2%
Marshmallow 1%

Just my

I have to agree, especially with TFA. To much flavoring and you wont taste anything. Its always easier to add.

Since you have mostly TFA, you might check out this thread. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread.html It is very long but you might just find some helpful hints there.

As Rickb mentioned, that is a Lot of Flavoring.

Hard to know what you might like. But based on those Flavorings, I know that I would Add some Sweetener to it.

I've made two bottles. One with the original recipe I've posted and the second with the recipe Rick posted. Just to experiment and taste the differences.

Came to the conclusion that I hate this cherry flavor. Flushed the first bottle. The Black Cherry has a realy strange (cheesy?) taste on the exhale. The cherry taste is also realy strong, even in the second bottle.

I'll let the second bottle steep for a few weeks to see if the cream flavours get more on top.

I'll probably use Rick recipe with some other fruit flavours, that I do like. Lol.

Trial and error .

I was in the understanding that the flavours that I've used are already pretty sweet. Don't see the point of adding a sweetener (Cotton Candy) to it?
