Yes, I was thinking you might like it turned into a choc-mint cookie. Girl Scouts sell those here - Thin Mint cookies - and they're very popular.
Let us know how your mixing goes - have fun!

Hi Head in clouds

So I mixed up 10ml 3% Custard and 1% Tiramisu 6 days ago, which i will be hitting probably Tuesday, maybe Wednesday (depending on when my kayfun flavour rig runs out of Custard.

I have just made up a batch of 3% Custard, 0.5% Maple Syrup and 0.5% Marzipan to hit in a couple of weeks time. Both mixes are 50 / 50 PG / VG.

I must say they smell rather different - I think it's the Marzipan that makes the second mix smell different.

Hmm, custard-maple-marzipan is a combination that never occurred to me. Sweet, nutty, maple, cream - it sounds good!

Hi Headinclouds

So i tried vaping the 3% Custard with 1% Tiramisu and it's not too good. No custard flavour, tastes a bit chemically and harsh on the throat...not sweet either. Any ideas on how to modify?

Tiramisu is a strong flavor...

I used at 1% but added another 10% in other flavorings.
3% TFA Vanilla Swirl (could use others)
3% FA Vienna Cream (could use others)
3% CAP NY Cheesecake
1% TFA Marshmellow

My notes say I added a 3 drops of FA Caramel too.

Was better after steeping 2 weeks, I was afraid to try it again

Hi Headinclouds

(Keep in mind I have a big sweet tooth!) I would imagine that tastes like lemony-chocolate-coffee. Tiramisu is strong and not very sweet to me. I use 0.5% as the coffee bit in dessert coffee flavors. When I use it as a main ingredient I use 1%, but I add plenty of other sweet, creamy flavors - or else it would be harsh to me, too. Custard is an Italian slightly lemon custard that I often use with fruits.

Thinking out loud about how to use what you've got mixed. Cheesecake flavors all have a little lemon in them, and you already have a lemon from the Custard, so Cheesecake might make it worse. Torrone can sweeten, but it also has lemon. Marzipan (almondy like Amaretto) or Meringue (like adding sugar) could be used to make it sweeter. I think Marzipan wouldn't go so well... Meringue would sweeten, but you also need some cream. hmm

Before you add anything, take some out of the bottle to play with instead of adding to the whole bottle.

Believe it or not, 4% with these two flavorings might just be too much flavoring, so you might try adding a little nic base to bring down your total flavoring. I would do that first, starting with a small bit from that bottle.

I use Vienna to fix all kinds of things. If you like Vienna, try adding 1%. This would give you the sweetness, creaminess, and add vanilla flavor that would cover up most of the lemon.

Or you could try adding .5% Meringue for a good shot of sweet, and .5% Fresh Cream to lighten it up.

OH - I'll bet Butterscotch would work with just .5%. It's very sweet, creamy, heavy enough to cover a lot of lemon, and it goes well with both of the other flavors. Yeah - that's what I would try, after probably adding a little nic base to bring down the total flavoring of your little sub-batch.

I'll leave my rambling here in case any of it gives you an idea you'd prefer. If there's a different flavoring that you like with Custard AND you like with Tiramisu, consider it instead. For me, it would definitely be FA Butterscotch. Tell us how it goes - hope it becomes good for you!

Hi

Thanks for the advice, but I don't own any of the other flavors you suggest bar Marzipan, and I think I have some Butterscotch from another company. So I guess I will thrown in some of that. Not sure 0.5% will fix this though, even with some dilution with some more VG.

So I only had Buttermint (from totallywicked). I have thrown in an extra 15% VG to dilute, and 2% Buttermint. If it's still rank i will bin it.

Not a fan of Italian Custard.

If you have fruits, FA Custard is ideal with many of them. Strawberry, lemon, bilberry, Forest Fruits, etc. - all excellent with the flavor of Italian custard.

Hi RE Fruits i have Totally Wicked concentrates of Kiwi and Lemon & Lime.

The buttermint and VG dilution helped the previous batch, but to be honest it still sucks ... - so i think it will be going down the drain.

I plan on making a new batch of juice - 3% FA Chocolate, 2% FA Cookie with 1% FA Uber Menthol. Do these %'s seem ok? I plan on using max VG, and want lots of flavour. Maybe also add 0.5% FA Maple Syrup...or too much / too many flavours?

Phil

 

[Ambassador]

Oooookay

So I made up a 40ml batch of Max VG for me to hit while on break from 3rd July. I will sample it before and make small adjustments if deemed necessary.

5% FA Chocolate
4% FA Cookie
1% FA Uber Menthol
0.8% FA Maple Syrup

3% Nicotine (PG)

Hope it's ok! Might want to increase the Uber Menthol, seems a bit weak from using it previously.

Oh and being steeped in a 50ml bottle of Devilicious Vanilla Custard which i purposely didn't wash out.

Phil

 

[HeadInClouds]

I use FA Menthol for a friend, but can't stand any menthol myself. Your percentages look fairly reasonable to me; I'd personally use about half-strength on that menthol-chocolate-cookie, but I know many people like stronger flavorings than I do.

 

[Ambassador]

Thanks HeadinClouds. I will let you know how it goes!

Oh and I've thrown in some lemon & lime into my dodgy batch to see how that goes (3%)

Is there any difference in taste, apart from possibly strength, in the FA menthol than in the crystals you make yourself?

Excellent flavors - you can mix with those for sure! A couple quick ideas:

3% Custard with 1% Tiramisu (for very creamy tiramisu; simple recipe but would have great, complex coffee-coco-custard-cake flavor)

2-3% Custard, 0.5% Maple, 0.5% Marzipan (for sweet maple-amaretto custard, mm!)

2% Custard, 2% Cookie, optional 0.5% Marzipan (sweet cookies with amaretto flavor)

Don't go 10% on Cookie! Try it as an ingredient like this first. Add it 1-2% to anything you want to turn into a cookie (After Dark?)

And I thank you, too. I am rereading some diy posts before I start my venture this weekend and this type if info is wonderful.

i've been messing with Strawberry and Peach as standalone flavors and i can't seem to get any flavor out of them. I've mixed the Strawberry at 10%, 15%, and 20% and still there is just no flavor. I've mixed and the peach at 10% and 15% and the same thing is happening. i use about a 60/40 pg/vg mix at 12ml nic. with FA Cola and Lychee i can mix them under 10% and the flavor is strong and really good. i see that people are mixing strawberry at 2% and getting good results. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

 

[AmandaD]

I suspect you're starting mixing at too high a percentage. I'd start strawberry and peach at 3% and then go to 5% if that doesn't work.

 

[GaryInTexas]

I'm using the strawberry at 5%. It's nice but not an overly strong flavor to me.
