Good morning

When I woke up it was a wonderful 55 degrees out. We got our walk in very early this morning. Currently it's 80, in a couple hours it will be 90+.

My good summertime buddy, AC, is doing its thing.

Ordered more bottles yesterday from Amazon… they’ll arrive today!! What you bet I find the ones I “put somewhere obvious” while I was reorganizing about the same time

Wouldn’t be surprised at all

Good to know.

Specifically, with PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake, I'm looking for its toasted coconut note. Per my research, the toasted coconut note will stay in place even after a 4 week steep. The cheesecake is supposed to take on more of a creamy vibe at 4 weeks. Combined, that is exactly what I am looking for.

Both the PUR Cheesecake and NY Cheesecake never had much of a taste of "cheese" to me at all. They do make a lovely creamy type of vape, very smooth and good taste for creamy . When I tried the PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake, i also got the taste of burnt. Guess I never allowed it to steep long enough. IIRC I mixed these around 3-4% probably should have gone a bit higher but at the time really didn't want to mess with it since there were better cc out there.

FA Custard Premium is a really good flavor. It's nothing like CAP Vanilla Custard v1. CAP VC1 has more sweetness and has a heavy eggy vibe.

In my guava pastry recipe you will not taste the custard. The custard is not meant to be seen or heard. But, it is a key ingredient for what it brings as an additive to support the croissant base.

It's kind of like using a very small amount of coconut to help a vanilla, a cream or even a chocolate to better shine. You will never taste the actual coconut in the mix but the coconut will improve it.



Custards as a forward note don't do much for me. I don't like custards used that way. I prefer what they bring to mixes when they are sitting in the background or well hidden.

I too do not have the FA Custard Premium, but do have the FA Custard. Its said that FA Custard has a slight lemony taste to it. Think I can make the sub and still get close to your final result?

I actually have both of those! I’ll be awaiting %s preeeeety please.
On the guava pastry… I have neither that guava or lemon. Have you tried the MF guava? It’s my only one (besides pink guava aka fab grapefruit)

Of your 3021 flavors you don't have those???

Haven't tried it with MF guava yet, it's on my list of to-dos. I was thinking of starting with 2 drops in 30ml and adjusting from there.

Ya know all these receipts got me thinking ( that can be a real disaster depending on how far it gets )
There are very few things in the food category that are not greatly improved by the addition of hot peppers of one kind or another.

I don’t like guavas , or papayas, irl, so I’m short on flavor options for both. I’m open to trying them in a vape… if I can talk myself into it lol. I think most of my dislike of the “live” ones is textural.

That's why I think you'd like one of @Shadav's recipes.

Yes, I do think that would work. That's a good idea for a sub and it really shouldn't change up the mix much, if at all. I don't think FA custard is as strong as their custard premium is. With that in mind, if I was using FA custard as a sub I would go with 0.5%. You could then skip SC lemon because FA custard does have a lemon note. The lemon in it should do exactly what SC lemon is doing. FA custard also has a nice vanilla.

Oh boy .......Chocolate Jalapeno Cake with Habanara Horseradish glaze ..........

Good to know. Thank you. I'm mostly curious to know if using PUR Toasted Coconut Cheesecake at a lower percentage, like 0.75% or 1%-2%, would give me the toasted coconut I'm after for my cookie idea. The added creaminess it's supposed to have will be a nice benefit and would mean one less flavor I would need to use.

Thinking of a cheesy croissant base that will stand up to dark berries. My idea is

VT Croissant 3%
WF Croissant 2.5%
FLV Brie 1%

whatcha think?

 

[Shadav]

Nope, never ordered Custard Premium. I haven't had the best luck with custard vapes, so I was thinking maybe I just don't care that much for the custard profile.

yeah custards are...I don't know....I think it's a language difference there, what british custard is as to what american custard is

while it's not a custard, vt pudding base is nice
I'd think probably vt pudding base with some condensed milk or maybe even mascarpone cheese would probably be more the kind of custard you're looking for....something more like a thick milk rather than an eggy flavor

not sure about that but I did make a Watermelon Chutney

That's how it always works. Not long ago I needed to replace an AC outlet in my kitchen. Couldn't find any in my work area but I could have sworn I had some. I went and grabbed a couple from Home Depot. Then I found the ones I had in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Good place for electrical supplies.

I really did not play around with these flavors to be able to tell you. I was still working so my mixes were limited to 1 day a month to mix type of thing. May have to do a sft to find out.. Sry about that.

There must be a reason I did this .............if you figger it out let me know!!!!!

That sounds good. I will be interested to know how the croissants are at 3% and 2.5% and also how they are with the Brie.

ETA: I think that would stand up to darker berries depending on your %'s.

so I got all these new flavors and a new display to put them in but I just haven't had the energy to actually put them in it
need to reorganize everything that I have because it's gotten a bit out of hand and hard to find things and think I've lost a few, couldn't find my madagascar vanilla bourbon the other day
so I think I'm gonna reorganize things to match my spreadsheet so it'll be easier to find everything
