Lemon Sugar Cookie - my first recipie, critiques wanted

[absoluttalent]

So i made my first recipie, without really looking at similar and based on what I had on hand.
Looking for any advice/tweaks to bring it full circle

I put it in a few cycles of my UC, with and without heat. And let it sit for about 6 days, with shakes every day

nic 3mg
PG 30%
VG 70%
Cookie (FA) 1.5%
Custard (FA) 2.5%
Lemon Sicily (FA) 3.5%
Ethyl Maltol 0.3%
Brown Sugar DX (TFA) 1.0%
Sugar Cookie v2 (CAP) 5.0%
Marshmallow (TFA) 0.8%

I was trying to go for that lemon creame from those Girlscout cookies.
My initial impressions of it was it was really on the weak side of flavor. On the tounge, the liquid was ok. But the vapor (using a Theorem with a notch coil and rayon) was the lemon was lacking. Should I increase the Lemon Sicily to maybe 6.5% and remove the EM? Maybe add some sweetener?

Lemon Sicily (FA) 3.5% This flavor tends to fade a bit. I personally would use ecigexpress Flavorexpress lemon if you need to adjunct the lemon notes. You might want to bring the cookie percent down as well. Good luck in your recipe.

Go out and buy some lemon sugar cookies and compare them. It is really all about how your taste buds "taste" it.

I don't see a significant reason to steep it. Shake well, though. Adjust and make another tankful.

I noticed that my sense of taste changes throughout the day so I vape the tank on and off. I get a better reading on the flavor accuracy.

I will have to check that flavor out. I am going to place an order with Bullcity soon, too bad they dont carry it.

Been trying it off and on, so far been through 10mls (i know norm is small batches to try, but I figured why not give a 30ml a go for the first one, didnt think it would be completely unvapable and wasted). Its not bad, just still missing that lemony punch i remember the girlscout crack cookies having.

And as much as I would love to buy the cookies for tasting purposes, that would not be an option here. Already down 50 lbs by not having sweets in the house. I dont want this to be a gateway of "its for my liquid recipe research" as I scarf down a box and head right back up the scales

Okay, I can see the point. Congrats on losing 50lbs. BTW.

I guess I do 2.5ml testings. It generally doesn't take me 5ml, or more, to determine if a recipe change is needed. I just copied someone's Lemon Meringue Pie a couple of days ago. They had mashed or crushed lime to give the lemon a tart/sour feature. Well, like it just being about individual taste, I just added the same percentage of TFA Sour. Its really good. I think it was on another forum, though. For me, it needs a touch more lemon so I will add that. But, I am going to add it to my recipe book.

I guess I could go out and buy a lemon meringue pie to compare it, but is there an actual required recipe?? I guess it is the same with the lemon Girl Scout cookies.

I re looked your recipe and wasn't sure what the brown sugar was for. For sweetness, doesn't marshmallow work? But, I have brown sugar, too, and I use it if a recipe says so. Am going to go smell both . Just thought to ask.

If it is liked, vape it.

thank you. its been a long journey. Thats why I have been loving nothing but dessert and cereal flavors, i dont eat them anymore

Yeah, my reasonings were to add the brown sugar for a little sweetness more. I guess it could be eliminated. I think i ended up turning it into more of a jambalya by tossing a little bit of everything in there for the first one. I will have to go through the tweak it
