Does this recipe look right?

[JCinFLA]

Are the 2 vbic in question known to be different, or is it just me?

To ME, the CAP VBIC seems sort of slightly "peppery", whereas the TFA doesn't. I've seen others post the opposite though, saying in their opinion...the TFA is the slightly "peppery" one. So, it's not just you who notices a difference in them.

Yup, I get the same peppery thing from CAP's. TFA is my go to VBIC.

Can't speak for Either one of them Specifically.

But buy Caramel from a couple Different OEM's and you will see what we mean.

Or Watermelon.

Interesting....I have yet to try the TFA's VCIB. I have used the CAP's VBIC @6% with TFA marshmallow @2% and get no peppery taste at all. Just a good ole ice cream flavor.

I didn't get a peppery taste, it just wasn't as flavorful or vanilla-y

Perfect example of different tastes. And why there are so many different companies with their versions of the same flavor.

Trying to come up with more recipes that use coconut and I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this and seeing if it looks right (yes, I know I could make a small batch, but wanted to run it by you first).
TFA coconut 5%
CAP sweet mango 7%
CAP sweet strawberry 4%
Alternatively, do you have any good coconut/fruit recipes?

Hi, I here's my Coconut recipe:

Pineapple (FW) 6%
Coconut (TFA) 6%
Bavarian Cream (Cap) 6%
Vanilla Custard (Cap) 3%
Sweetener 2%

It's actually good to vape right away if you like.

@VapeLuvr all can be different like night and day. Look at simple fruits, is their concentrate like a fresh fruit, or a candied version. And even worse, you think you like 4% (pick your fruit here) from company A, so you'll pick some other fruit @4% from the same company for a nice balanced flavor ...... nope, or should I say good luck. Their potency can be all over the map. Add in all our taste buds are different, you're better off doing your own flavor testing, and using published recipes as a juice to mix and adjust to your taste buds.

PS. Is that you at FT?

That looks yummy, Mary Lynn! I will have to try this one, too!

And even worse, you think you like 4% (pick your fruit here) from company A, so you'll pick some other fruit @4% from the same company for a nice balanced flavor ...... nope, or should I say good luck. Their potency can be all over the map.

Here's something that I do when I have to substitute one brand for another, or when I switch to a different flavor even from the same company: I check what the average or recommended single flavor percentage is for Flavor A (original), and also for Flavor B (substitute). Then I adjust the recipe percentage if necessary for the sub, Flavor B.

So, for example, let's say the recipe calls for 2% of Flavor A, and the recommended single flavor percentage of Flavor A is 10%, and the recommended single flavor percentage of Flavor B is 4%. I use flavor B at 40% of the amount called for in the recipe, so .8%.

Of course this isn't a foolproof replacement scheme because the author of the recipe is weighing the influence that unique Flavor A has on the other flavors and the overall mix, etc., but it gives me some sort of idea how much flavor relative to other ingredients my substitute should account for.

@tazzle so long as Flavor B has a somewhat similar description in the notes, I prefer using the Median value. Some of those values are just right off the wall. I've seen some flavors where the 'Maximum used quantity' is North of 20% which skews averages. We all get there, one way or another.

good point!
