Please share! my search for the correct chocolate is in circles.
I don't mind sharing, but it is not a simple recipe that I could convert at this point to a small batch. With that being said here is the mondo size 17 chocolate. This is a cadberry or nestle type milk chocolate flavor...I'll happily vape this 100 ml but I am sure I will continue to tweak the complexity mix in future batches.
Mondo size 17 Chocolate:
30 ml 60 mg PG nicotine
30 ml VG
25.5 ml PG
14.5 ml of flavor as follows
Base Notes:
4% vanilla PG extract ( 4 ml of fluid from a 120 ml batch of PG I steeped with 6 cut up Madagascar vanilla beans-- I added 1 tablespoon of everclear and let it steep 4 days)
4% cocao nib PG extract ( 4 ml of the fluid from a 120 ml jar I filled half full of organic cocoa beans then filled to the top with PG and steeped about 30 minutes)
2% double chocolate clear TFA
Middle or heart notes:
The next three items I feel are best mixed together first so their flavors blend together before you add them to the batch. It doesn't need to sit for long just a few minutes. If you add them separately I find the banana is evident in the final flavor
1% (1 ml) banana cream TPA
.5% cinnamon McCormick
1% sweet cream TPA this one smells and tastes like butter by itself
Now here is a bit of odd complexity...
I used a small glass dropper from wizard labs... I measured it and 40 drops equals 1 ml...knowing that I created 1 ml of complexity with the following recipe:
1% complexity =
4 drops peppermint McCormick
15 drops vanilla pure extract McCormick
5 drops rootbeer McCormick
15 drops imitation maple McCormick
3 drops raspberry TFA
3 drops coconut extra TFA
Now that should have equaled 40 drops, but it doesn't it equals 45, because you can never get it all out of the container you mix it in.. so anyway that is what I did. I did mix this 1 ml of complexity separately and then added it to the mix after the banana cinnamon cream addition
Top note
1% double chocolate dark TFA
It was batch 15 that lead to this and it is a simpler recipe:
Batch 15:
2% double chocolate clear TFA
1% banana cream TFA
.5% cinnamon McCormick
1% sweet cream TFA
( note with this recipe I add 2% chocolate and .5% cream first...then I mix in a separate container the banana cream cinnamon and the other .5% of sweet cream or the banana is a noticeable flavor in the final batch.... I know it sounds odd but the banana, cinnamon and cream become its own flavor which works a bit like cocoa butter in a real chocolate recipe... ironically it is a great flavor and I was testing it as a separate flavor when I accidentally put my chocolate taste test sample in my banana test carto ... happy accident type thing)
If those sound daunting another recipe which is simple and good, but I think lacks the complexity of good chocolate.. still it is a nice vape
2% whipped cream TFA... note this is not the same cream as above
1% double dark chocolate TFA
add 1 drop 10% stavia in PG per ml
( I get my stavia from nuts.com they extract the essence of the leaf and dry it. It comes in a white powder and is pure... it is not just the crushed ground green leaf. They sell it in 2 oz increments... I bought 4 oz which I didn't need. 4 oz of stavia powder has the same volume as 1 pound of coffee beans. So 2 oz is more than enough. This is the same place I buy my cocao nibs and vanilla beans. They have amazing products and excellent customer service)
I think batch 15 is pretty good, but the banana peaks through a little I think... maybe it is just that I know it is there. I had a stranger I met at a vape shop try it the other day and he said wow that is the creamiest chocolate I have ever tried... he didn't seem to notice the banana....however if you drip it the banana is going to come through in batch 15. That was the reason I created a 1% complexity flavor to help disguise the banana without loosing the creaminess it adds. I really think the banana gives that melt on your tongue sensation. Mondo 17 is good dripped with no banana peak through.
