I just did some more whipped cream testing on three Cly flavours I hadn't tested yet: Ice Cream, Butterscotch and Pear. The Ice Cream was a typically sweet and creamy vanilla without being anything special or different. The Butterscotch had an excellent authentic flavour (as distinct from Caramel or Toffee), the Pear was creamy but quite bland. However, with both the Butterscotch and Pear, I detected a sensation that I am starting to know all too well: the sharp chemical/perfume note that permeates Cly flavours if you use too much.
I don't know if I'm projecting or imagining things but if I was, I think I'd have picked it up in the Ice Cream as well. But it wasn't there. The whipped cream method doesn't give you a pointer on percentages to use. But, based on my cream test today, I would use Cly Ice Cream at up to 3% but start Butterscotch and Pear both at 1%. I'll be interested to mix these flavours up and see if my perceptions in the cream test hold good. If it does, I'll be seriously impressed at how accurate the flavour representation is.
I did get some hot spots in the spoonful of cream today. I'm not sure how to eliminate that. Stirring will cause the whipped cream to lose a lot of aeration, which is what you don't want. You want a full mouth feel but with no weight. It has to be very light and fluffy and weightless to simulate vapour. I'll experiment with some stirring methods and report back.
Edit: and there it is now - the headache I get when I vape perfumey flavours. FFS, there is nothing else that bothers me in vaping. But these perfume headaches drive me up the wall. Anyway, it will pass shortly. I think it was the Pear that did it. I can tell already I'm not going to smaak this flavour.
