My GRY4HAM Cracker Combolicious Vape

[Calivapr123]

After some experimentation and noticing that I keep reaching for this combo I made, I gave some to a couple of friends, and now they keep coming back for more. Maybe I made something people will like, so I'll share it here.

The original idea was to add an equal measure of Graham Cracker taste to the RY-4 Double from TFA. But this came out way too dry, and bready. The sweetener in the RY4-D didn't cut it. So I started out with 5% Honey (as in "Honey Grahams") but Honey just doesn't do it as good as other sweeteners, and the other sweeteners just didn't do it as good as the Brown Sugar did. I tried 5% of each flavor, was still a little too dry and bready, so I double the content of the Brown Sugar.

So here’s the recipe (all TFA Flavors):

5% Graham Cracker
5% RY4 Double
10% Brown Sugar Extra

Instructions:

Mix all the flavors first. Give them a 5 minute Hot Water steep and make sure it’s warm before giving it a vigorous shake. Then add your base. Give the complete concoction another hot water steep for an hour, one last shake and it’s good to go.

Hope you like this as much as I do!

Q: Is it overly sweet with the RY4 D against the brown sugar?

Q: Is it overly sweet with the RY4 D against the brown sugar?

I can't say it's overly sweet at all, and neither is there much tobacco taste, as RY4-D is quite light on the tobacco. It's the Graham Cracker that takes the starring role in this juice, the rest are supporting roles.

Addendum to previous post:

If you are not a sweet tooth, then an 8% mix of the regular Brown Sugar is also very good, which I'll call "semi-sweet."

8% is actually the first sample I gave to my friends, and then later I bumped it a tad to 10%, which for me was perfect, and they seem to agree.

Sounds delicious. I just need to order TFA Graham now.

How does steeping effect the blend?

Although it's very vapable and actually pretty good right off the bat, it doesn't feel as well "blended" I guess. There is somewhat of a difference if you put a little heat to it, and that difference may not be a big deal to others, somehow I taste it though.

Just mixed this up and its rather nice , I can smell the Ry4 not overpowering but just right, Sweetness is spot on so is the GC.
Could someone enlighten me on the benefits of warming the flavours up first.

Very nice Calivapr.

I may try this with RY4 double and Asian as i just love this combo.

* TFA's Brown Sugar is barely a concentrate. This is probably why TFA followed up with a new Brown Sugar Extra flavor, stronger than the previous one, which I no longer see on their website. So if you're using the "Extra," (which I haven't tried yet) I suggest to start out with 5% of it first, instead of the 10%.

I have a report in http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-recipes/343181-tpa-tfa-recipes-only-7.html#post10078438. Do you want this included?

@paddy - go for it!

-------------------------

Today I edited the OP to indicate that the Brown Sugar I was using was in fact the Brown Sugar "Extra." It seems I received the Brown Sugar Extra in my latest shipment and it's this one that I used to fine tune the taste.

Was the graham the 'clear' version? They have a regular version and a clear version, and all I have on hand is the clear version.

AFAIK the Graham Cracker Clear Flavor (TFA) is only available at WL. TFA doesn't have a Graham Cracker Clear only a Graham Cracker Flavor.

Its still a TFA flavor,but, only available from Wizzard Labs.

 

[Calivapr123]

I used the regular version of Graham Cracker, which is the dark color - this will also produce quite a dark colored liquid.

@paddy -- Wizard Labs does provide a clear version of the Graham Cracker by TFA but it is not listed as available on the TFA website.

Making this tonight. It wasn't until this morning that I noticed I'm down to only 10mL of my RY4. Panic ensued. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I'm confident enough in this recipe to make 50mL right off the bat.

 

[grm]

I made a 5 ml last night and tonight.......its gone!!

 

[vapero]

this are the only TFA flavor that I have! I just mixed it up and will report back probably tomorow

thanks OP!

 

[Ohio Points]

Sounds very good, now I have to order Brown Sugar!

 

[vapero]

this has a sweet semi-Idon'tknow taste, not for me really I'll probably mix it with a strong tobacco and see how it turns out

Yup, since it's an all TFA ingredient, it will have some of that perfumey character which is common to so many TFA flavors. I, for one, and beginning to move away from those, as I'm beginning to dislike the perfume taste. In fact, I have on order now new Tobacco flavors, as well as other kinds of flavorings from different makers such as FA and Cappella, and I plan to make these same recipes using other providers. I will post the results, if you do get around to making your variation, please post your observations too! Thanks ...

I decided to drip a few drops of this as well as a few drops of my tribeca clone, for me it's a bit better as it reduces the perfume a bit.
then added a few of my "just tobacco" recipe and it tasted a bit better... but still prefer my tribeca clone and my just tobacco without this one
a dripper is an amazing tool to try out mixes if your mixes on the go (dripping is my new found love!!)
