DIY Recipes Needed for FA Co-op Flavors

[Lisa B]

Hi all, I got a ton of flavorings in the FA Co-op coming and I have never worked with them before, I haven't used anything but PA. I have Butterscotch, Cappuccino, Cookie, Hypnotic Mist, Oba Oba, Vanilla Tahity and Vienna Cream. Any recipes you have I would appreciate, I like my flavors strong and sweet.

What was the final list of flavors ordered from FA? I did'nt go in on the coop this time but I do a little Loranns and some PA flavors as I also use them in coolng / baking and such.Like you I lean toward strong and sweet.I love hazelnut but I don;t seem to see it used all that often.Let me know how the FA flavors are and Have you looked thru the diy threads? There are at least two in the entire ECF forum and maybe more in individual vendor forums.

Here's one that Lulu suggested with the ObaOba and Vanilla Tahity...

Oba Oba is from the new vape heaven flavors. the description is spot on. It is a very light fruity vanilla flavor, I am loving it. I mixed it at 10% Oba with 5% Vanilla Tahity and it is awesome!

I'm using the ObaOba with my BlackberryBrandy. NUMMY

Thank you Grama, I am going to go through the threads again, I just thought some might have some special recipes for what was ordered since most had used their flavors before and have said you need less then when you DIY with PA flavorings. I am not sure exactly how many flavorings there were all together but there were quite a few and at a very good price.

Thank you Leeane, I forgot I did see that somewhere from Lulu, will definitely try that one. Would the Oba Oba be good with other fruit flavors like blueberry or strawberry?

 

[leannebug]

I'm not sure.. but it is described as a light fruity vanilla taste, and I love it in the BBB. It's worth trying!

I think that the Oba Oba is supposed to have caramel undertones to it. Hang on. I will look.

catalan cream has the caramel undertones.

I also came up with a great vape that I am loving right now. I like it so much I made a 60ml batch to last me until the order gets here! I am going to try the whipped cream in place of the condensed milk when the goods get here.
10% Cocoa
2% Condensed Milk (I have also used the sweet cream and it works well too)
2% Vanilla Tahity
1% Caramel

My version of a "Hopscotch"
10% Butterscotch
5% Caramel
2% sweet cream (fresh cream)
This one needs to sit for a little while, I find FA butterscotch is a little bitter right after mixing but is yummo after about a week.

There was a thread in the tips and tricks thread about speeding up steeping.
I heat up a coffee cup of water in the micro and get it pretty hot. I put my freshly mixed bottles in the hot water for 20ish minutes and it really helps to mix the pg/vg and the flavors.
I usually mix my juices 50/50 so my juice is a little thick, but I can vape the Cocoa mix right away after soaking the bottle it in the hot water.

That sounds delicious. Maybe we should have had recipes for FA before ordering from the co-op. I didn't get the cocoa or whipped cream or consensed milk.

In concentration, is FA equally concentrated in flavor compared to other flavorings, or less or more?

I find that FA is more concentrated and uses a lot less in mixing. I wa mixing mostly with PA and Lorannns previously and found I was using 20-25% in all my mixes to get a good taste. With FA I find my self using about 15%.

Thanks for the quick reply Lulu (and good morning)! That's great news! What made me think of it was the lower percents you used in that yummy sounding recipe.

Pm me if you want to try it! If you like it, I will be happy to share some of the flavors you need to make it.
I think I ordered 100mls of the Cocoa

Thank you and hugs! PM incoming!

Yet another question that might be helpful here.
I notice that you don't have sweeteners in either recipe. Are FA flavors properly sweetened compared to PA? Thanks in advance!

I always added sweetener to my recipes, but I didn't to these and I find they are sweet enough for me.
I think the Condensed milk adds a lot of sweetness to the cocoa recipe. IMO the condensed milk tastes exactly the way it smells when you open a can of it for baking. Reminds me of my coconut macaroons I make at Christmas, yummmmmmy!

lol! Now I'm just getting plain hungry! I love coconut macaroons and make them with condensed milk too.

Thanks of course for your reply on sweeteners, that will be very helpful.

Great recipes and thank you for the info on mixing ratios, I would have mixed everything too strong. Lulu do you think the Vienna Cream would work in the hopscotch?

I used Vienna cream in the Cocoa recipe (in place of the condensed milk) and didn't like it. It almost tasted sour and that was the only ingredient I changed. I have never tried the butterscotch recipe with the vienna cream but I plan to. Its funny when mixing how the flavors have to mesh with eachother, they sound good together but it doesn't always work.

 

[Lisa B]

Yeah I have found that too, these are all new flavors to me so should be interesting. I have quite a few PA flavorings too that I can work with, just not quite sure what to mix with what.

 

[leannebug]

ooo.. that condensed milk is sounding good!!!

I had tried a cream or two months ago, and it was so sour it spoiled me on trying any. Now I'm wishing I had ordered some too!! Have to be stalking the DIY thread for a while I suppose!

I never got the reason for steeping until recently. I tried peppermint with cream from purevapes in an effort to find my creamy mint at a cheaper price and it was not very good. It smelled and tasted like the PA cream I had ordered and didn't like. Well I opened a bottle of the pure vape version yesterday and it smelled just like my favorite. Steeping must have done it.
