Who's nic are you using Edd?

 

[Edd]

I got everything from ECX as in pg vg and nic

 

[Huckleberried]

OK, that does help. Some use VT and it makes a difference. I still have a bunch of WL nic to go through.

Thanks Edd!

I love the ecx vg and pg, it is super clean feeling and tasting.

You're very welcome! Has your son taken enough interest in vaping yet to start smoking less? He's lucky to have you as his personal vape-chef.

@Huckleberried , this is one of my older recipes, designed around the Wizard Labs nic I used at the time. It's great with ANY nic; I still use the same recipe with the Vapers Tek nic I have now.

At first he quit the smokes all together with me. He has cut way back I would go as far to say he's an occasional smoker. I tried to get him into mixing stuff up too and while he likes to vape I don't think DIY is in his immediate future lol.

How do you make 15mls out of this recipe? Does the percentages change? Thanks

 

[Ld3441]

Percentages are the same no matter how much you make.

 

[Zamazam]

What, no Girl Scout extract?

 

[cherrycakes]

Oh damn. Now I want Samoa's.

Thanks so much for the fast response

I copied this recipe to my JuiceMeUp calculator and saved it for my next mix. I have different brands of brown sugar and caramel, but FA for the rest.
I am in love with FA's peppermint. It is another flavor I should have bought long ago.

I'll let you know how my mix turns out. It will be some time as I mixed up a whole bunch of new flavors a couple of days ago. Sadly nothing worth sharing unless magic comes through the steeping.

 

[Tiny Yoda]

WOW!!! I've been wanting to try this for awhile, just got my FA peppermint today and Damn this is good... Thanks so much HIC

 

[DHV]

made this today 60vg/40pg, 6mg/ml nic. used 5ml of flavor in a 30ml batch for 16.67% total flavor. really really good but the mint about knocked me over at that high of flavor %'s I'll probably knock it down to 10-12% total flavor % for the next batch. will make again though! the gf and I both are loving it. thanks HIC! we cant wait to try some more of your recipes.

vape setup: subtank mini .5ohm occ coil on a mech tube

 

[DustinB]

Thanks for posting these recipes, really helps getting started. So I tried to make this as my second DIY flavor tonight and I'm not having much luck. I can taste the individual flavor types such as chocolate, cream, and mint.

The problem is I'm getting this horrible rubber taste. Not burnt, more like a powdered latex glove or a balloon. I did have to use a couple different brands, but I don't know where the rubber is coming from. I'm also getting the same taste in a slightly modified heart of andes recipe, though nowhere near as strong. Not getting this in other flavors so its not any of my bases. VT nic and ecigex pg and vg.

Thin mints
50/50 6mg
FA Cocoa 2%
FA Peppermint 1.5%
FA Cookie 1%
TFA Brown Sugar Extra .5%
TFA Caramel(original) .5%
FA Vienna Cream .5%

Heart of Andes
50/50 6mg
FA Peppermint 2%
TFA Vanilla Bourbon 1%
FA Vienna Cream 1%
CAP Sweet Cream 2%

Any ideas what may be going on?

When I taste burnt rubber (ewwww!) its nearly always my hardware, usually a bad coil.
Your percents aren't high, so it's not overflavoring.
Those two have only Vienna Cream and Peppermint in common. I've never heard anyone who though either of those taste like rubber, but maybe you want to try those two on their own to see if something weird is happening with your flavorings.

Oh yah - over 16% flavoring with FA is too much for most people! You could just add more unflavored nic base (vg/pg/nic) to that to dilute the flavoring.

 

[DustinB]

It's not a burnt rubber taste by any means. It tastes and smells like powdered rubber gloves or the inside of a balloon. I'll try and see what I can find out. Maybe it's my droppe bottle, though I don't notice this taste in other flavors. Thanks

what vape setup did this happen with? this can happen if you dont prime a coil well enough and the wick material burns some. there is probably zero chance its the juice and almost always its going to be a wick/coil/insulator type issue.

 

[Heabob]

Too much flavoring can cause a funny taste sometimes, although usually it's floral or chemical taste.

Rubber grommets, (in Clearo heads), can burn if you get a hot leg on the coil.
If you rebuild, you will see it on the rubber, but a lot of the new ones are using silicon instead.

 

[DustinB]

It's definitely not anything resulting from heat or my setup. You can smell it in the bottle.

Anyway, I figured out what it was. Apparently FA Peppermint smells like rubber gloves to me and my wife. You can smell it in the flavoring itself. My wife describes it as more of a black liquorice, but there is peppermint there as well. That's why the heart of andes had the same smell. It's new from ecigexpress, sealed factory red cap.

Going to try a batch with some FW Candy Cane instead.

 

[HeadInClouds]

Something is very wrong with your FA Peppermint flavoring if it smells like licorice and rubber gloves! It should be a very clean peppermint scent.

 

[TheVapingDevil]

Omg... just got my vape mail on today. Mixed this up and is pure bliss. Thanks so much HIC. You continue to amaze us.

I wanted to try HeadInClouds's recipe, but I didn't have all the exact flavors. I used FW Salted Caramel and Brown Sugar instead at the same percentages. It tastes pretty amazing. I bet it would be super great with the other 2 flavor brands.

 

[HeadInClouds]

Oh damn. Now I want Samoa's.

@cherrycakes it was long ago that you asked, but in case you never saw it, here you go: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-girl-scout-samoas.34564/

 

[cherrycakes]

Thanks!!!

 

[stateek]

I can't believe how good this is! Tastes exactly like the cookies. Thanks so much.

 

[VapingBiker]

@HeadInClouds The only ingredient I do not have is the coca. Any recommendations?

 

[HeadInClouds]

Yes - get cocoa. You know that chocolate flavor in the Girl Scout Cookies? And the chocolate of the cookie part of an Oreo? Nothing does that kind of chocolate like FA Cocoa. But it's not one to sub-ohm; like most dark chocolate flavors, it'll singe in too much heat.

 

[VapingBiker]

OK, gotcha. I have FA Chocolate coming but not cocoa. so I guess I have to wait

 

[misswish]

It is totally worth the wait! This is soooo good. You can get fat just vaping.....

 

[Frankm]

I made this last night and steeped it on my coffee mug warmer. Excellent recipe!

 

[Mykline]

HIC you are going to spoil us all. Those cookies are to kill for and you are making it to where we can vape it. OMG life can't get any better.

 

[misswish]

And no calories or cavities!

Maybe it can, if you're a GS cookie fan - vape this one in your other hand: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-girl-scout-samoas.34564/


Thank you everyone for all the compliments!

You are bad. Lol

 

[FL_David]

As a hoot I changed my Caramel to Capella, boosted the FA Peppermint to 3% and added FA Chocolate 1% with everything the same as HIC's.
Now it tastes closer to an Andes Chocolate Mint then a cookie. I like the extra chocolate flavor.

 

[Dan Knight]

I've been meaning to mix this for months now (too many recipes; too little time) and finally got around to it tonight.

I love Girl Scout Thin Mints, but they've been cut from my diet for years due to diabetes (along with all the other baked goods I used to eat without a care). This is a great, great substitute for those delicious little cookies. HIC, thank you so much.

Vaping pulls me through sugar cravings, too. I'm glad you like it!

 

[Shaner]

OMG HIC, I just mixed this up tonight and all I can say is WOW! Best chocolate vape I've ever had! Kick the temp down a little on the VT so it's a nice cool vape and it's amazing! Wonder what this is going to do to my diabetes ... lol.

Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes.

Edited:

Looks like me and Dan are in the same boat.

Any idea what causes the peppermint to fade?

time and heat

Does this happen with all vendors peppermint?

 

[HeadInClouds]

Every one I've tried, and I'm a mint fiend. Peppermint, wintergreen, spearmint, anise, I love it all.
You can just use more to begin with, if you're going to let it sit a long time before it gets vaped.
Keeping it cool helps a lot. Maybe toss it in the fridge if you don't have kids around?

I didn't have any Cocoa, so I substituted Cap Dbl Chocolate at 3%, and it turned out great. It may lean a bit towards a York Peppermint Pattie with the darker chocolate, but that was fine with me. I ordered some Cocoa, (and some others including Meringue), the other day so I'm gonna have to do your recipe up right and compare.

 

[scrappy]

This was my go to vape for a while. One suggestion is to add 1% fa chocolate and 1% acetyl pyrazine as used in some of hic's other chocolate recipes. To me this brought it even closer to the real thing.

Sadly and very regretfully, I no longer make recipes with fa cocoa. While it tastes amazing it absolutely destroys coils and those gritty pieces in it pop into the back of my throat like fireworks. Ouch! Wish they could make a cocoa that is coil friendly, and I dunno what's up with that gritty stuff they put in there, but they do ignite and send little fireballs into your mouth.
