I need help with a recipe

[6steelstrings]

I am looking for an all day vape juice. The flavors I like are sweet, vanilla, pralines, butterscotch, the inside of a pecan pie kind of flavor. I say the inside of a pecan pie because most of the time that is the only part I eat.

If I could get a vape that tastes like this, I would be in vape heaven. I did a mix with half and half vanilla and butterscotch. It is good but somehow it is lacking something.

Can someone help me work up a recipe for the flavor I am looking for?

Sounds delicious except for the mice part. I think I will leave that part out.
Thanks. BTW, what is AP?

AP is Acetyl Pyrazine. It adds a nutty flavor but it is a mean bunny rabbit and you have to use the stuff real sparingly. A couple of drops in a 15ml bottle is more than enough usually. Perfumers Apprentice - Acetyl Pyrazine 5 PG

Just to clarify with the AP that's .3 percent (1/3rd of a percent) and not 3 percent. As the capt said that is some powerful stuff.

It's pretty much a requirement for me with any nutty mix. CS is right, it is super strong. Too much turns the taste to fritoes. Shay's recipes are good, go for it!

The Vanilla Custard, Bavarian Cream and Vanilla Cream combination looks like it would be a great base for many different recipes. I am going to try it and sub English Toffee for the Butter Pecan. Because, well, I don't have any Butter Pecan.

One of my classic bases is VC, BC and Sweet Cream all ~3%. I felt like 6string was looking for a little more vanilla though.

Saw a recipe. I was going to suggest it, but it lives on that website.

Caramel (Flavorah) 1%
Macaroon (Flavorah) 1.2%
Pralines (Flavorah) 2.25%
Vanilla Custard (Flavorah) 1.5%

TFA Vanilla Cream 2%

Sorry @Capt.shay . Don't mean to pick on you; but is that supposed to be Vanilla Bean Ice Cream? I couldn't find "Vanilla Cream" on TFA's website. I think I have all the ingredients and I'd like to give it a try so I just want to be sure I am mixing correctly.

I was guessing French Vanilla Cream.

Good suggestion. I missed that one. Thank you!

This is my favorite recipe of all time:

Bavarian Cream (FW) 3%
Butter Pecan (FW) 4%
Hazelnut (FW) 7%
Sweet Cream (FW) 5%
Sweetener (Sucralose) (FW) 1%

That's the one I was thinking of. I don't use it enough for some reason. I drink French Vanilla Coffee and FW French Vanilla at 12% has been an ADV for me from the beginning but the TFA FV Cream seems to get lost in the back of the cabinet for long periods of time. To many flavors and not enough time

I love VBIC but I don't think that would be quite right for the profile the OP was requesting. He was asking for more creamy - more vanilla. VBIC has that kind of little bit, I don't know, "scratchy?" on the exhale, almost a tiny bit like a touch of light cinnamon that wouldn't be quite a filling taste.

I have never made this recipe before, I was just responding to the requested profile. But, I bet it comes out pretty darn good. I have worked with the Butter Pecan a lot and it is an excellent and versatile flavor. The Base is a known solid and the AP rounds out the nutty flavor so really, it's just a matter of balancing the percentages to taste. AP is a fickle mistress and working with it is always an adventure. You might want to go lower if the first try is to strong. The recipe could probably stand without it and be quite yummy but again, I was trying to hit the requested profile.

Please let us know how it comes out

No worries. I wasn't "suggesting;" only guessing as to what you might have meant by vanilla cream. For the benefit of anyone else who might be reading this and want to put it on their shopping list, or check their inventory: TFA lists it as French Vanilla Creme.

I have a pretty abused palette so I tend to start AP at 0.5% so I don't see an issue (for me personally) with your posted 0.3%. On rare occasions when I have other really dominant flavors I might bump to 0.75 to 1.0%. I've never had the guts to go beyond that. I agree that it probably could be considered an "optional" addition for those that don't yet have it but it sure does bring a lot of extra goodness if you do.

Thanks for sharing! It looks like it is right in my wheelhouse. I'll let you know what I think when I get the FVC (I need it for a couple of other recipes I want to try too). Unfortunately it is going to be a bit; I just had to pour $600 into a water heater replacement today that I hadn't planned on. I'm gonna need to replenish the treasure chest first.

BTW Does this recipe have a name and author I should credit in my recipe file notes? Thanks again!

This sounds fabulous! I am completely into flavorah flavors. I find that the macaroon is very aggressive but with all these other flavors...it sounds like it would blend perfectly. Do you get a taste of separate flavors or one solid flavor? @smacuser
