Not sure about diy juice combos for chocolate yet, but as someone who plays around in the kitchen I can tell you this, couverture chocolate (your higher grade choc, lindt, godiva etc.,) has a minimum level of cocoa butter of 32%. There are usually also milk solids, other oils (the more of these the further away from couverture chocolate it gets) and varying levels of sweetener. The cocoa butter gives it the "body" and richness that spreads like silk on the tongue. (Chocolate by itself is flat and bitter.) Not sure you can get that exact flavor with just using chocolate flavoring even with the addition of vanilla. Flavor additives (to my palate anyway!) tend to be 2 dimensional by themselves but when combined with other things like fats and sweeteners develop a roundness that's tastier. With that in mind, I am def going to try to mix some vapable chocolate concoctions. I ordered some flavorings from WL and hopefully I picked a workable combination for chocolate. We shall see... :unsure:

I'm hopeful and determined! I envision (perhaps too optimistically?), flavors like chocolate covered caramal with marshmallows, See's Bordeaux truffles, butterfingers... :p chocolate is my friend... It would be dreamy if I could vape my choc fix instead of eating it...:hubba:

I'll post my attempts be they somewhat acceptable or absymal failures.. At least then we'll know what kinda worked and what didn't right?

That sounds good. I have a premade that kinda taste like the choclate junior mints but the chocolate isn't a full flavored choclate more of a fake chocolate. maybe the butter tfa flavor? has any one tried that?:smokie:

With all of that jibber jabber being said, who's got the chocolate mastered?!

LOL! I Spent Monday afternoon with Mr. T for Make-A-Wish. Now Shut Up Fool!!!

I haven't come close to mastering chocolate, but I'm loving small amounts TFA Bittersweet for chocolate undertones, it's a good background player, but does not like the spotlight. Having some luck mixing TFA Double Dark with Vanillin, Bittersweet and a hint of Cinnamon Natural.

I have tried to solve the chocolate mystery and to date not found anything that comes close. It ends tasting 'fake' if that makes sense. What I have found that does make a huge difference and makes for a most pleasant combo is the addition of 'Marlybro'. I seems to enhance the chocolate component without killing it.

I have tried 48 different variations of chocolate + vanilla, chocolate + vanillin powder, or chocolate + sweetners. And varying combinations of those to no avail. I have had some "okay" tastes and some "dear God what did I just subject myself to" moments. I still have more formulations to try. I will figure this out x)

I think it probably needs a "fuller fatter" flavor so butter is on my list of things to try along with the french vanilla ice cream, brown sugar and then go from there with maybe a few others

I'm with you guys on this quest. Actually, the Capella "Chocolate Fudge Brownie" (recommended by "Levitas") is pretty good by itself and I've also come up with a "creamy" version of it using TFA "Whipped Cream" in the mix. And the Capella "Double Chocolate" I've used with some LA "Marshmallow" and TFA "Graham Cracker" to make a pretty tasty "S'Mores" recipe, but alas I don't have the secret to a very good straight up creamy "melt in your mouth" chocolate like a "Hershey's Kiss", etc.

chocolate is whats called a faker

to bring out chocolate you need
you wont believe it but eucalyptus

a needle, a pin head minute addition to 100+ml

you cannot work it in small batches

then after thats steeped you can cut it with a coffee

which will burst the chocolate molecule and overwhelm ya --wow thats chocolate

its so hard to master without chocolate education

gonna give it to ya
go get a dark chocolate candy bar eat it and vape str8 vg/pg
vape and reach out for the flavors make sure your drinkin water too --
it will give you the secret :toast:

This sounds interesting; I can't help but feel like you didn't type this, but discovered an ancient scroll written in some long-dead tongue, and what you posted is simply a direct translation of that.
