What percentage did you use the milk chocolate? Burnt flavor seems to be an indication of over flavoring and the chocolates are prone to it happening. Chocolate also likes some steep time.

I haven't mixed any of that flavoring yet. The burnt taste was from a juice a friend sent. That's why after reading this thread, I'm doing a lot of research before I attempt to try the milk chocolate as a stand alone flavor, which after reading this thread seems like it might not happen, but I'm going to try and see if I can do it!

I don't recall this being mentioned on this thread, but after looking at some sites about making milk chocolate, the product lecithin is mentioned in almost all that I've found, along with vanilla or vanillin. Also most mention butter or cocoa butter (looks like if I'm gonna try this I need some butter flavoring).

Lecithin is an emulsifier which means it has oils (fats) in it. I wonder if this could be a key ingredient to use, however, with it being an oil based substance, I wonder if it would be water soluble? Common knowledge would dictate that it would not since water and oil don't mix, however, I wonder if there's a process to make it soluble in ejuice?

Here's a few links I've found on making milk chocolate and about lecithin:

Any thoughts on this?

If you want my thoughts on Chocolate here they are

Chocolate is hard and since we don't know how much Cocoa Butter we have it is even more difficult.
If you don't have a real good feel for Creams forget it.
If we can't find a really good Vanilla forget it.
Then there's the Flavors we want to add that will possibly get buried.


After saying all that I mixed Chocolate with a Orange, I haven't so far been able to get the Orange to sing I put a lot of Orange in my last attempt and couldn't even taste it. Oh the pain!


I'm glad this is a group effort I don't think I would want to tackle this on my own. ;)

I just mixed the Chocolate Orange hopefully this one is better than the last attempt.

Tried mine after a 2 day steep and lots of shaking. Not quite happy so I bumped the chocolate up to 3%. Much better now.

I haven't so far been able to get the Orange to sing I put a lot of Orange in my last attempt and couldn't even taste it. Oh the pain!

I tried a chocolate orange from a local B&M and it was good but difficult to discern the individual flavors. It's more of a melding of the two into a whole new yummy flavor, but then again maybe my taste buds are weird. I give my concoctions to my girlfriend to sample for her opinion and more times than not she tastes the flavors that I don't and I taste the ones she doesn't. It's no wonder I don't care for a lot of the foods she likes :laugh:

I thought Chocolate needed a long steep.

I hope I will be able to discern the individual flavors that's why I know this is going to take many attempts unless I just luck out.


Has anyone tried the TFA White Chocolate?

I'm a chocolate lover as well, from the kisses to shakes, puddings, cakes and bars. The main reason is because of the way it disassembles in my mouth. Melting away, coating my tongue, the roof and sides of my mouth, seeping ever so slowly down my throat. Lusciousness! After numerous attempts, I figure it's impossible to get THAT from vaping it! But it certainly never hurts to keep trying. :)......don't mind me, carry on you chocolate freaks :D
