Anything like castle long?

[D Persimmons]

Do you know of anything like castle long? Specifically i'm talking about the harshness, though i'm not looking for anything like peppery nic, i want the flavour to be harsh but also smooth. I think the closest i've found is a chai tea latte flavour here in canada by a company called churchill. Any suggestions for things with that bit of oomph that castle long has?

Folks that like Castle Long generally like Bobbas Bounty also. Might want to give that a try. That has that kick you spoke of

Harsh and smooth is contradictory, don't you think? Polar opposites.

Higher Pg (propylene glycol ratio would result in a more harsh vape if you don't want to increase the nicotine strength.

Bobas Bounty tastes nothing like Castle Long. I have read that Gentleman's Reserve tastes similar to Castle Long.

What attracts me to Castle Long is the bourbon flavor. I currently have Custer's Last Call from Brewmous which is a whiskey/custard flavor that is my favorite flavor. "A creamy and indulgent flavor. Strong custard and vanilla notes that are followed by a subtle parting shot of brusk Kentucky Bourbon."

I was given a clone recipe for Castle Long if you DIY. I haven't tried it yet, but look forward to.

As opposed to the itchy, scratchy sensation of peppery nic. And ya i know pg helps but its not enough by itself. And i've made castle long clones but they don't have the same throat hit.

Unfortunately, I can't really recall the feeling of the TH for CLR. But I will second Jonner's suggestion for Gentlemen's Reserve in terms of a pretty close taste match.

 

[Jonner]

The Castle Long clone is pretty spot on for taste but not for throat hit, the Gentleman's Reserve has the taste and good throat hit, if not quite as "strong" as Castle Long.

Now I have to try that Custers Last Call, sounds right up my alley.

These are the next two I plan to replicate. BB and CL. Links won't work on ecf due to nefarious reasons.

Okay. Here's a CL that's safe and I've seen more that once. This is what I plan on using. Castle Long.

BTW - BB is no longer available unless some third party has it.

Bobba's Bounty hasn't been made for some time now.

Update on BB, GJ & GB

Took the words out of my mouth. I've vape literally thousands of MLS of both castle long, gentlemens reserve and hundreds of MLS of castle long reserve.

Gentlemens reserve from steam Co is the absolute closest thing to castle long I've ever found. Gentlemens is maybe more vanilla centric, where castle is maybe more coconut/almond centric. Both excellent choices. Very comparable! Quality Vapes both juices.

I've tried countless DIY recipes for castle long and have never gotten anything even close. Of The DIY recipes I've made, some of decent juices and plenty vape worthy, but NONE have been even close to a "clone" of castle long. Not to me.

If anyone reading this has actually made what they consider to be a true comparable clone of (taste wise) castle long I would love to try the recipe.

I'll be trying the one posted above... But I've been disappointed so many times... I think (to me) the key is coconut, or the missing link is the coconut. I've tried tfa coconut, coconut extra, coconut candy and flarourart coconut... None have reproduced the coconut flavor present in castle long or gentlemens reserve for me.

Try replacing the vanillin in the above recipe with Madagascar vanilla.
