Has anyone tried making their own "hot" whiskey flavour?

[Twiggy1995]

So,

I was looking at some flavorings, and I saw that The Flavor Apprentice has a burbon flavour, a cinnamon flavour, and a red hot cinnamon flavour.

I was thinking of maybe mixing the burbon and cinnamon red hot flavours together, and making a spicy whiskey flavour.

has anyone done this before? and what percentages/ratios of burbon to cinnamon would you recommend? I am originally thinking 80/20, 80% burbon, and 20% cinnamon red hot.

From my experience, the Red Hot Cinnamon from TFA is quite strong and can easily overpower other notes. 20% might be a bit too much you could end up with mostly cinnamon and hardly any bourbon. I’d personally start lower, maybe around 5–10% cinnamon red hot and the rest bourbon, and then adjust depending on how strong you like it.

Way back in the day I delved into Cinnamon Mixes using Water Based Cinnamon flavorings. StiffJiff is absolutely Correct. Cinnamon can Easily Overpower even Strong/Dominate Flavors.

I would start using Low Single Digit Percentages. Or perhaps even Drops.

Once again, I'm talking about Water Based Cinnamon Flavorings. And NOT Oil Based Cinnamon. Which I Wouldn't consider Safe to vape.

BTW - If you haven't Purchased any Flavorings yet, when you do get a bottle of Flavor Apprentice or FlavorArt Cherry and TFA Sweetener also.

With it you can make Cina-Bomb and Atomic Cinnacide. Both are a Must for any Cinnamon Lover.

Fireball:
Bourbon(Kentucky)-fw-3%
Cinnamon red hots-tfa-1.5%
Milk flavor-fa-2%
Rum(Jamaica)-2.3%
Sweet cream-fw-2%
The first time I mixed this, I used 2.5% cinnamon red hots. It was too strong for me, maybe start cinnamon red hots at 1% and go from there.

Thanks.

I will be holding off on the hot whiskey idea for a while, so I can calculate a good percentage.

I like strong flavors though, very strong.

I did buy this off amazon last night, lorann oils super strength cotton candy.

Amazon.ca

To test, I will just make 4ml worth, so I am thinking 1ml flavoring, 1ml pg, and 2ml vg. for a 50/50 mix to use with my MTL nautilus 3 tank and coil.

Does anyone know how long I should let it steep for, or is that not really needed with a super strength?


P.S: I don't use nicotine, so thats not an issue for me.

When I started doing Cinnamon recipes, I hadn't done DIY for at that long. I kinda struggled finding the right Balance between Mixes that were Ho-Hum and something that was Overpowering the other flavors.

I would Mix something, Write the Percentages on the Recipe Card, then put the bottle in bottom drawer of my desk and wait 5 Days. Seemed like it was taking Forever to makes Changes and having to Wait while it steeped.

But then it Hit Me. Why Mix One at a Time? Why not just take Five 30ml bottles labeled 1 ~ 5, fill each with 20ml of Unflavored e-Liquid in the PG/VG Ratio and Nicotine Level I wanted to end up with (Pre-Mix), then put 2 Drops of Cinnamon in Bottle #1, 4 Drops in Bottle #2, 6 Drops in ... and 10 Drops into Bottle #5.

This way they ALL Steeped at the Same time. So in Five Days I would have a Range of Strengths to Test.

When you Find the One you Like, you can do a Little Math to Convert the Drops to Volume. Or just use the Same Eyedropper you used in you Five Bottle Test to make Final Mixes. Or use a Scale.

And if you find that Cinnamon is becoming more of an ADV (All Day Vape) and really want to get Hi-Tech, instead of Doing Individual Recipes, you could make Cinnamon Pre-Mix . Then all you have to do is add Whatever Flavoring your in the Mood for to some Pre-Mix. Like Half n' Half Strawberry/Pineapple with a big Glug of TFA Sweetener.
