Peanut Butter, Coconut and Chocolate Troubles

[Lexibiscuit]

I've been DIYing for almost 2 years and I CANNOT make peanut butter, or coconut, or chocolate taste good. I have tried different brands at all sorts of percentages, but they all seem to have either no flavor or come out perfumey. What am I missing? Does anyone else have trouble with these particular flavors? My favorite flavor vendor is TFA, but I've tried Flavor West, Signature, and Cappela. I would love a juice that has all three, but haven't even attempted that yet! Help?

I've read all Bill's Magic Vapor logs, as well as many, many threads...I've steeped and not steeped...I'm baffled...

I like coconut. In my country we use coconut milk in most of the dessert. For vaping, I add around 2% in all my dessert recipe, my Unicorn Milk clone, English Toffee,...I use LA coconut. It is creamy. I never try other brand yet.

Peanut butter: This and Cheesecake mixes is a "expected taste perception problem". I been at it too for 2 years. The best I can come up with is a mix of TFA and CA Peanut Butter. The mix is still is missing something in my book.

Chocolate: The best flavor I can find in the readily affordable class is CA Chocolate Coconut Almond which comes close to real chocolate heaven. The down side, it is a very weak strength mix at 8%. Need new wick and clean coil to really get the taste. High end premium chocolates are out there and I have a few written down such as:

VZ-SC GOURMET CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE FLAVORING--Google
Molin Berry Glamour Chocolate --Google

All pretty pricey, but have read good things about each.

Coconut: Here again this is one of those "expected taste perception problem" things. You have probably tried the CA and other cost effective flavors for this. Might see above sites/blenders for Coconut at the high end.

So far, I've been almost completely unable to taste chocolate in a vape at all. I've tried chocolate pre-made juices, no taste; DIY flavor chocolates, no taste.

I recently got some Molinberry Glamour chocolate, but haven't yet tried it, as I have a cold, and nothing smells or tastes quite right, but that's my next one to try.

I'd try a small bottle of Massacre from Casey Jones.

I have a smores I found on here that uses tfa chocolate. After a hot bath it's good but as it steeps the chocolate fades to just not there. My only solution has been to add more chocolate after a week or less to keep the taste.

Peanut butter I find works wells at about 4% and is best with something sweet like Bavarian cream @ 6%. I would start with as little as possible as far as mixing in flavors.

Well, a) nothing like that seems to be available, and b) if it's not 85% PG, I couldn't vape it anyway, which is one of the main reasons I DIY. Since nothing like that seems to be available, I also have no way to know about the presence of diketones, which is another big reason I DIY.

@Lexibiscuit Seems Peanut Butter and chocolate needs a little extra something in the mix. I am going to tweak it a bit but I found Peanut butter v2 CAP is good at 1.5%. I have a good recipe with PB, Chocolate, and Caramel. Try this Caramel Candy (TFA) 1.5%, Dulce De Leche (TFA) 1%, Malted Milk (TFA) .5%, Milk Chocolate (TFA) 1%, Peanut Butter v2 (CAP) 1.5%, Super Sweet (CAP) 1%, and Whipped Cream (TFA) 1% Comes out almost like Reeses peanut butter cup with slight caramel flavor. Strong PB taste. I'm going to tweak it by changing PB and Caramel to 1%, and Milk Chocolate to 1.5% and see how it comes out. Hope this helps. Sometimes you need less flavor to get more out of the taste.

I haven't even started DIY yet, so obviously I have no idea, but I have had PB vapes that thought might be good -- IF they just had a little salt. I've read in the DIY threads about folks using a bit of 0.9% saline, and I wonder if that might help.
