I also find Hic's recipes taste best with slow exhales. It really awakens the flavors.

That's an interesting observation! When I was new to FA I noticed some flavor(s) taste a little different if you exhale sharply. If I recall correctly, it was recipes with FA Walnut, and they tasted sweeter that way. In general, I guess I usually exhale slowly. I smoked like that, too.

I think fa coconut really comes out with slow exhales.

So I ate a peach pie the other day and there was a layer of flavor above the crust and below the peaches. It was sweet, maybe an almond back taste and buttery. I was wondering if 0.5% marzipan, 0.5% coconut and 0.5% walnut could create the same affect? These are all FA.

There would still be peach, white peach, cinnamon Ceylon, Vienna cream, Apple pie and cookie for the rest of the recipe.

I was thinking the walnut would contribute to both the crust and butter with maybe Vienna cream helping smooth. I debated on cream fresh but I thought that was dry (?).

I considered throwing a little brandy in there.

Can you get the recipe for that pie you tried, or at least find out if they used almond paste or marzipan? I wouldn't be surprised - they go well together.

As far as vapes, everything you described sounds good to me. If not Brandy, maybe Liquid Amber? Fig, Pear, Jamaican Rum can all sweeten something like that, if Marzipan isn't enough. Have you tried Flavorah Rich Cinnamon yet? A tiny bit of that would sweeten a lot; it's good with peach.

I just got some and put one drop into 30ml and it's amazingly good and powerful. It's the best tasting cinnamon anything I've vaped.

I can't get the recipe, unfortunately. They agree known for their pies. I don't have Amber or rich cinnamon, I almost bought it last time. Funny, I did consider pear and fig, just a touch. I also considered rum. Just have to try something. Thanks.

It reminds me of cinnamon frosting, very good in sweet bakery-type mixes. It's a good addition to recipes that use FA Cinnamon; just a very tiny bit gives you the sweetness of Flavorah. Keeping FA Cinnamon in the usual quantity makes Flavorah taste more realistic, in my opinion. I mixed a little bottle of 10% Flavorah Rich Cinnamon to use as flavoring/sweetener, so I can easily add very tiny amounts to recipes. As long as FA Cinnamon is in a recipe, adding a drop or two of that dilution just makes a recipe sweeter. Sweeter=tastier to me, almost always!

Yes, that's what I tasted as well. I just couldn't put it into words. I'm working on my culinary vocabulary.

I want to make sure I understand how this is done. I mix 9ml of PG and 1ml of RC?

 

[joeyboy]

Well, here is peach pie v1. Now to let it sit due to the coconut. It smells like peach. That's a good sign.

Sure, PG will do just fine - or VG or whatever combo you usually vape.

I bet you'll be pretty happy with that!

 

[joeyboy]

I bet you'll be pretty happy with that!

I do like it and I do get the almondish rich background taste. I know it's only been one day. I do have to put a different coil.

It may could use a tad less peach but I'll wait and see how it all comes together.

Thanks for your help. It's plenty sweet.

Edit: I used a pharoah rta.

New today at HIC's Mixes : Tiramisu Wafer Cookies

"This recipe duplicates the flavor of an Italian brand's tiramisu cookies. It's the sweet flavor of malty, creamy tiramisu frosting and airy wafer cookies - a creamy, malted mocha treat. This recipe requires Nature's Flavors Malt flavor extract (may contain diketones) and FlavourArt flavorings."

A few of you might remember MamaJ's sold this as a premixed flavoring. Now you can make it yourself!

 

[joeyboy]

@HeadInClouds I wish you could come up with a sugar wafer recipe, maybe it doesn't need to be as sweet. I can eat those things by the bag. Also, voortmans sells a coconut sugar wafer that would probably be a variant. That thing is to die for.

I can chomp through those, too. If you have a Cost-Plus World Market near you, you really gotta try Loacker wafer cookies. My Tiramisu Wafer Cookies is their tiramisu flavor, but they have several others. Theirs beat American wafer cookies by a mile. I recommend their lemon ones, coconut, and of course tiramisu. Oh heck, just get 1 of all you find in stock. Lol! Scroll down this screen and droooool: http://www.loacker.com/en/products/product-category/relcategory/world-of-wafers/quadratini/

The only reason I suggested sugar wafers is I don't have the malt flavoring.

 

[Huckleberried]

GET THAT RECIPE!!!!

I tried it when Mama J's sold it, and manohman is that a good vape.

No malt.

That's a bummer.

OK, so get some?

I desperately miss the peppermint mocha tiramisu. Was my adv for almost a year. Used to get the premixed concentrates from mama J's

Tomorrow is the first day of summer! Time for a whole bunch of fruit smoothies!
New today at HIC's Mixes : Tropical Smoothie Factory

"This isn't just a recipe - it's a recipe factory for transforming strong and distinctive fruit flavors into juicy, sweet smoothies. Just choose one of 8 different main flavors, and the simple base recipe transforms it into a premium, fresh-fruit smoothie. Will you begin with Papaya, Guava, Pineapple, Passionfruit, Mango, Pomegranate, Raspberry, or Mangosteen? Instructions include advice on selecting other main flavors, too. This recipe factory requires only diketone-free FlavourArt flavorings, including Oba Oba and their new Royal Orange."


This was weeks in development as I experimented with dozens of fruit flavors to find the tastiest main-flavor options and a smoothie base recipe that complements the widest variety of fruit flavors. If you like fruity vapes, you will love your DIY results with this!

 

[Heartsdelight]

Of course I don't have Oba Oba

 

[bobnat]

Of course I don't have Oba Oba

Who does? I just looked in HIC's notes and it's not there. I think he just makes these things up to play with us.

 

[Huckleberried]

LOL, mine's pretty old. I'll need to get that one out and see how it is.

Your old Oba Oba should be fine, Huck! My 3-year-old bottle tasted no different than a brand-new one.

@bobnat - Oba Oba is in my flavor notes (5/25/2017 is the current version), but d'oh - it's out of alphabetic order. It's right before Oak Wood, instead of right after where it belongs. I'll fix that on my next edit.

 

[Huckleberried]

LOL 3 years old. Yep, mine too. Pretty sure it's in a PV bottle, but I might have the 10ml one from ECX, too. BCF wasn't around, yet. Very good info, thank you much

Yep, I had the older version. Got the new one now and Oba Oba sounds good. What a weird name though, somebody was high when they came up with that one.

 

[mecocina]

It's a good thing I saw this before I placed my flavor order. I added Oba Oba and Royal Orange.

 

[Heartsdelight]

How is Mangosteen? What does it taste like?

 

[Heartsdelight]

I goggled, Mangosteen, I got the recipe so now off to order the missing flavors!

 

[HeadInClouds]

How is Mangosteen? What does it taste like?

I think every time I described it, I describe it a little differently. FA Mangosteen really does taste like the real fruit, if you've ever tried it. It's quite sweet, smooth, with elements of ripe pears and tropical fruits like pineapple/guava. They're an exotic tropical flavor - so delicious! Asian grocers sell it canned, but fresh are much better if you can find them.

 

[HeadInClouds]

If you Little Debbie's, this one's for you!

New today at HIC's Mixes : Peanut Buddies

"This is the flavor of the American treats shown in the photo: a sweet peanut butter mixture is layered with light wafer cookies then coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate. This recipe requires TFA DX Peanut Butter (must be the DX version), TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, and FlavourArt flavors including Apple Pie (yes, really!) All flavorings used are diketone-free."


TFA pleased me by making their diketone-free DX Peanut Butter taste and work better than their original version. I'm excited to finally vape the flavor of Little Debbie's Nutty Bars - and I'm honestly surprised that eliminating diketones was the key to getting it to taste right!

 

[Heartsdelight]

My flavorings just came in the mail! I can make Hic's Tropical Fruit Smoothie now! Yay!

 

[Heartsdelight]

I tasted a drop of Oba & Mangosteen on my finger & it's yum!

 

[Teresa P]

I'm familiar with oba oba, but mangosteen will be a first for me - if I ever get a minute to mix. Got called in to work Saturday and busy with my mom today. I told my husband the only way I was leaving the house tomorrow would be if it caught fire, I plan on having many bottles of smoothies in many flavors!

HeadInClouds,

Big time props to you on the "Kaktus Collection".

I made the Kaktus Melons and am truly blown away at how it has changed - specifically from day one thru day five (for my taster any who).

I dig how varying the power and/or temperature changes the dynamic of the flavors.

Kaktus Melons is so smooth, sweet and juicy - it's just a phenomenal vape.

Desert Julius = an excellent kind of 'maybe' smoothie tasting vape for me.

You also hit it out of the ballpark with the "Orange Sherbet and More" collection.

I am a huge fan of FA's new Blood Orange and Royal Orange. For me those two are spot on for being the most realistic out there.

I can vouch for the "Fresh-Squeezed OJ". Just get some Tropicana OJ (or your fav brand - but it's gotta be real) to drink while vaping "Fresh-Squeezed OJ" and you'll see just how authentic of an OJ flavor Blood Orange and Royal Orange combined are. I just love it!

Creamsicles --- the new recipe is 'HeadInClouds' above the old one!

Sherbet = simply heaven. Wowza

Ok, I confess, I am an orange fanatic...my day starts with a big glass of Tropicana.

Thanks man and again huge props to you!!!

Wow - thank you for such detailed descriptions! FA's new orange flavors blow my socks off, too. I need to buy the BIG bottles of those. Try some in hot chocolate when it gets cold out.

I love real crunchy (European) peanut butter. Unfortunately I've tried them all and have been disappointed with the chemical and unrealistic taste I get from them. I'm pretty sure I've tried DX peanut butter but maybe they've changed the formulation. Guess I'll have to order a new one

No - DX pb is not the flavor of freshly-ground, good-for-you, health-food-store peanuts. But it's the only flavoring that worked for me to make the very American flavor of Little Debbie's. They're totally unhealthy junk food...totally addictive, too.
