Ok!

I need help here guys, hopefully someone can assist me with this. I don't know if anyone has tasted "Why so serious?" from Banzai Vapors, but it is a delectable creamy grape flavor. It does not have a dimatap(sp?) taste nor jolly rancher heavy grape flavor. I've also tasted something similar, but it was a blueberry pomegranate from a local vendor. I'm actually trying to create something similar, however, I want to stay within the realm of Capellas flavorings. I have about 15+ flavors, to include VW, EM (which I don't like using), and Sweetener. Out of the flavors I think are somehow involved would be Strawberries & Cream, Blueberry, Pomegranate, Grape, Whipped Cream. I am contemplating butter flavor for the creaminess, but I haven't played with it too much to know.

I would rather ask first before ending up throwing bad juice away. I would take any recommendations that come my way from the pro's. I am all about supporting my favorite juice vendors, I'd just like to make a similar variation with a twist. Times are rough and I have the resources in front of me to make a try at it, don't hate me. ;)

Hmm. I haven't tried it, but I'd be willing to attempt and clone it lol.

So far, I've been able to turn just about anything creamy with one/a few of the following:

TPA Sweet Cream
TPA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
TPA Malted Milk
TPA Bavarian Cream
TPA Whipped Cream (not alone though, ends up making it a little acidic IMO)

I'm not a fan of EM either, but I feel like it's necessary in "heavier" flavors just to give it some body. I'd go with a grape, sweet cream, touch of EM, a touch of malted milk, and let it steep. You might also benefit from upping the VG percentage a little.

Me too, I haven't tried it,

Keep in mind that creamy flavors benefit from steeping, a week minimum, 2 weeks good, 4 weeks would be perfect,
I had good results mixing Capella Vanilla custard with FW grape, also TFA Bavarian cream mix's well with fruit flavors,

So you could start making small samples 3ml or 5ml with your favorite VG/PG and nic base,
5% Sweet Cream with 5% of the Grape concentrate you have,
another sample with 7.5% each, a third one with 10% each,

Try them after a week, and see which one is close to your target,
and tweak the %, and see if few drops of sweetener are needed,

I also heard that adding few drops of some fruit flavors (example: Raspberry) to another Fruit mix,
could bring up the target flavor,
So when you get close to your target Creamy grape mix, try adding few drops of Pomegranate for example to a small sample,
and see how it goes,

Good luck
