Troubles with cotton candy.

[magus7091]

I've used cotton candy flavors from lorann, and tfa at various concentrations, as well as some liquid sweetener from tfa that was mainly diluted ethyl maltol. Unfortunately I've yet to find a strength that will give me a cotton candy taste in my liquid. Usually I end up with a fleeting sweet background note, and not much else. So what I'm wondering is what would you guys recommend as to actually getting cotton candy flavored liquid.

Maybe TFA Circus Cotton Candy?

"Cotton Candy (Circus) Flavor
water soluble
This is a different style of cotton candy that is more similar to "Blue" Cotton Candy.
This is not a "strong" flavor. It is made with ingredients that are crystals/powders, and if we try to make it much stronger then these crystals will start to "precipitate" out."

What percentages have you tried. I've herd say upwards of 20% is needed. I don't use the stuff myself so my word is based on hear say.

My wife has been vaping cotton candy for prolly around 2 1/2 years now, its her one and only vape. I was buying cotton candy from JuiceMafia so I was under the gun to make or clone of a cotton candy for her so I could stop purchasing vendor juice. I have cotton candy from Loranns, Flavor Apprentice and Sig circus cotton candy. Started out mixing 5% standalones to have them turn into syrup within a couple weeks and not taste right... failures. To make a long story short about how I found out how Hangsen Desert Ship can make other flavors pop. My first go was 5% HS Desert Ship and 1.5% Sig Circus Cotton Candy....too sweet. 2nd attempt was 4.5% desert ship and 1% CC, lot better but still sweet. I finally came up with 4% desert ship and .75% Sig CC and scored a home run with the wife, she's been vaping this blend for over a year now and shows no signs of slowing down. This vape tastes sweet and candyish but on the exhale its like walking past the cotton candy vendor at the fair, she's had many compliments on how her vape smells like cotton candy.

edit...this has to steep at least 3 weeks to get the best out of the juice

TFA Cotton Candy don't really taste like CC at all IMO. Have not tried the other one but generally they are used as added sweetners in recipes. If you want strawberry CC use mostly strawberry etc. Same goes for gummy candy though gummy candy tastes like pineapple gummy bears on it's own.

TFA cotton candy is a 10% EM solution. EM is not sweet like sugar or sucrolose. It just gives the impression or sensation of sweetness which is what you are getting on the exhale. It needs somthing to bond to & make that fruit or cream "feel" sweet.

As others have said, you should look past any plain cotton candy from any vendor, most al are 10% EM Solution and used as a sweetener/enhancer/smoother. Look for flavored CCs, I have a Blue Raz CC, and have heard of a Circus CC that's supposed to be different. This thread has more input, but figured I'd share.

Yup, TFA CC Circus is the one I had. Says blue flavoured but it red and dont taste like either. I'd just use 4% CC and rest 6% or more raspberry, strawberry or banana etc. TFA generally uses more then other brands most of my recipes are 10-20% where other brands are 5-10%. Both are listed a not a strong flavour, think that means use a ton of it or add flavours.
