looking for some advice

[mchaggis79]

Here's what I have and I'd like some ideas for recipes. I just got some flavors from flavourart and 1 from capella's and I'm having trouble with them. I've had the ones from TFA for some time and I've always used tfa, but FA and cap are new to me so I'd love some help.

TFA vanilla swirl
tfa fudge brownie
TFA pistachio
TFA ry4 double
tfa grape candy
tfa blueberry candy
FA marshmallow
FA chocolate
FA cream fresh
FA pear
FA vanilla classic
FA vape wizard
FA flash eliquid
cap graham cracker v2

I'd really like a recipe for s'mores, but the graham cracker just obliterates the chocolate and marshmallow. Tried it even just at 1% and even with the marshmallow at 7.5% and chocolate at 5% I can't even begin to taste either the chocolate or marshmallow. All i get is this awful cinnamony flavor in my mouth. Thinking maybe putting 1ml graham cracker and then 9ml pg into a bottle a d then using that to flavor my juices will work, but I don't know. Any help would be great. Thanks guys

Man how I wish someone would nail a nice Smore flavor You'd be right in saying cutting the graham cracker with pg maybe half/half? One thing to know about marshmallow is that it can mute certain flavors so don't go overboard with it.

You think 7.5% is too much maybe? I'm still trying to get a feel for the strength of FA flavors

It's been a while since I've used FA flavors but I'm thinking they're pretty strong. 2 to 4 percent might be a good starting place for most of them. There's some good info in this thread plus a few good recipes. You can use the 'search thread' at the top, type in a flavor, and see if there's anything in the thread about that flavor. That might be a good way to see what percents others are using http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...pure-vapes-has-3ml-flavourart-flavorings.html

What are you using to test your recipes?

 

[mchaggis79]

I'd mix up 5 ml, give it a hot bath for a bit, shake it up, then vape it.

Marshmallow may not give you that "marshmallow" taste that one would expect from eating a "Smore". Its used more as a sweetener (from my understanding). You may want to experiment with adding a Vanilla or maybe even a custard to add that "Marshmallow-ness" to your recipe. Also, your under 10% flavoring. Try to pumping up your chocolate to maybe 8-10%, GC to 3-4%, Marshmallow maybe 2-3% and either a custard or Vanilla (or try both) each at maybe 5%. Start there, then adjust accordingly. Do small 3ml tester batches. I use GC from Flavor West and I think its amazing! I vape that as my ADV atleast 2 times a week! But adding it into recipes has been tricky trying to get it to NOT overpower the other flavors.

Yea like I said I had the graham cracker at 1 or 2% (can't remember which), chocolate at 5%, and marshmallow at 7.5% and the capella graham cracker just totally overpowered the marshmallow and chocolate :-/, but I'll try your thing and see how it goes

Hey Das I tried your recipe, but idk how I feel about it yet. I gave it a few hot baths to quick steep it, but I think it needs a few days of just sitting there to steep right. I used

.5ml vanilla classic FA
.5ml vanilla swirl TFA
.3ml marshmallow FA
.7-.8ml chocolate FA
.2ml graham cracker v2 cap
2 drops vape wizard FA

Made 10ml and it actually tastes pretty good. Nice slight graham cracker taste at first, but then you start getting a sweet aftertaste. Sadly I still can't really "taste" the other flavors besides graham cracker, but there is a sweetness to it that I really like. I've only been vaping it a few minutes now, but I'll let you know how it goes after I've vaped it awhile longer.
