I am sure all mixers out there have had one or two recipes which they worked on, and which looked real good on paper but after you mixed it and let it steep properly and you try it out eventually you were like "Oh hell no!". Alas, I have one of those at work today - fortunately I have a backup flavour as well but I filled my tank with this one so I will have to suffer through it now.
I do not have that recipe with me now, but I have to admit this was not my first "uhm.... no" flavours. I once mixed up a Caramel Custard and it looked good on paper, but alas, it just wasn't. The recipe I followed was the following (30ml @ 3mg nic 70/30):
2.5% Dulce de Leche (TFA)
1.0% French Vanilla (TFA)
8.0% Vanilla Custard V1 (CAP)
3 drops Marshmallow (CLY)
Basic recipe, some really good qualities, or so I thought. Look, it probably was not all that bad, but I struggled through the last 29ml's, and I only made a 30ml bottle. My issue was that the combination of the Dulce de Leche, Custard and Marshmallow made this one so creamy that it almost tasted like someone took some Woollies Double Cream and threw it straight into my mouth. Also, the Marshmallow accentuated the Dulce de Leche so much it was a almost unbearable caramel flavour with a little bit of custard hiding in the corner afraid the bully might pounce on it again.
Looking back, if I reduced the DdL to say 1%, maybe 1.5% and use a single drop of Marshmallow (in my opinion CLY Marshmallow is awesome, just very strong), then I might have enjoyed this more. Alas, this has now ruined my thoughts of making a Caramel Custard vape, at least temporarily.
The one for today is a Vanilla Coffee Cake and I will post the recipe tonight some time. My opinion is that though the idea was brilliant as I love me some Vanilla and recently started enjoying playing around with coffees, the whole of the parts is just not combining very well. And yes, it is well steeped as I know coffee is special and needs time - I think it is standing on 8 weeks now - it is just that the
So, share your recipes, if you want, as a pre-warning to the rest of us to 'not try this at home' and why as well.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
