This is great right off the shake but it improves overnight and keeps improving from there......
If you like bakery flavors and have vaped for longer than a year, chances ae you have come across the Beard line of e-liquid. More specifically Beard 32, Cinnamon Funnel Cake. I have tried to re-create this flavor since I started mixing. One afternoon I got a whiff of Flavor West's Cinnamon Churro. It immediately reminded me of 32. SInce then I have tried many times to recreate the original . After recently discovering the magic of Zeppola, I thought I would give it another try. This is my latest and what I believe to be closest remix of that profile. Comments welcome. ............ ... . Gordo
MIXING NOTES: You can use OOO Powder Sugar in place of the Nic River Sugar Crunch...same percent. Cinnamon Churro is central and essential. BE CAREFUL with the Cinnamon Ceylon, .2 is needed but do not go over,. The flavor has to peek through and not punch through the Cinn Danish Swirl. Also, Pastry Zest, like most Flavorah flavors is very strong so careful or it will change the whole mix.
Mixed, and tested on a Digiflavor Mesh Pro RDA, SS coil @ .15 ohm, atop a Keen Mech Mod.
Sometimes when I am looking for a flavor, it helps to knock on it's neighbors doors. Waffle and biscuit make up the french toast bakery notes. Once I settled on proportions and balance, the Maple and Butter worked like magic to authenticate the profile. The Milk and Honey helped tie it all together . This is a really delicious profile and is enjoyed by friends and work-mates. I received a lot of compliments on this one. I hope you enjoy it as well. If you try it, please help a brother out and leave a comment. Peace out.......
In the first place, I do regret that this is a whopping 21 percent flavoring percentage. Perhaps this can be whittled down, I have not tried it.....yet.
More importantly I do not want to reduce the flavors that this recipe bring out. I do not want to change any of the nuances that are present now.
More importantly, this may be a remix but it is MY REMIX. As such I have had to choose direction of certain flavors. In the end this is inspired, very similar and very very delicious.
OK that said, this is a profile of an old school vape which no longer exists. The mix was Blue Balls, by Lung Candy. Back in '16, when local vape shops restocked this juice, it would be gone by the end of the day, not exaggerating. OK so here is how I did it:
Cheesecake:
Of course NY Cheesecake, I also added INW Yes We Cheesecake because it is so good. I believe the Cheesecake role in this mix is to lie just under the blueberry flavor and to help lift it up over all the graham cracker flavor present. I felt 4.5 %, with the best part going to the older more likely used cheesecake, would be about right.
Graham Cracker Crust
When you take a full bite of blueberry cheesecake you are at first overwhelmed with all this graham cracker. As you chew it the cheesecake comes to the fore and depending on the amount, so does the fruit topping. Also Graham cracker is the last flavor you taste and also what lingers on your pallet after you are finished. I could never find a Graham Cracker to fill this role properly until one day when I combined two unlikely hero's in this mission..... Graham Cracker DX (TPA) and Graham Cracker (TPA). Since it is the primary note and the base to this recipe, I had to make sure the flavor of this combination came forward, replicated the flavors of Blue Balls, and could remain front and center through-out the steep. After a few tries, 5% GC-DX and and 2% GC worked well.
Blueberry
I had to go old school to recapture this flavor. LA Blueberry and CAP Wild Blueberry. These are lighter blueberries It was important to use this particular and unique blueberry flavor and not let this favor get lost or changed in this now heavy mix. To re-create Blue Balls, this flavor has to sit or lay right under the Graham Cracker, almost next to, ... the graham cracker. After a number of tries and quite a few batches I found a decent balance when I pushed TPA WIld Blueberry to 4 and Kept the LA Blueberry at 2.25 %.
Over the development Of this latest version I have been using an ASGARD Mini using a plain round dual wrap of 24 Ga. SSL wire, 6 wrap .18 ohm. and n Arcless Mech Mod by Mechlyfe as well as the Keen Mech Mod by Timesvape.
I hope you enjoy this recipe half as much as I do.
Gordo
I started this recipe in 2017. Back then Lord Nimbus Elixirs made a flavor called Prestige. They described it as "Caramelized Pears in a Golden Nut Cluster". It was amazing. This is a remix of sorts as well as a truly original recipe. My aim through the years has always remained true to the profile. Here I have Caramelized Pears in a Nut Cluster and dripping with Butterscotch. Please don't be fooled by the number of ingredients, this is a very enjoyable vape. I hope this recipe brings you much joy......
The is a Bread Pudding recipe that is very very similar to an old favorite of mine called Southern Bread Pudding by Turncoat Industries.
If you re longing for a blast from the past whip it up and try it. It is good off the shake but at around day 3 or 4 the flavors settle in and it is magical. I hope you enjoy it.
Substitutions: we all know the old adage, if you change ingredients its not the same recipe. here we are trying to attain a flavor we once knew and loved. iIf you dont have something, then by all means, get creative. My advice is to get these flavors and step lightly when subbing.....
UPDATE: I mixed this on a friday evening about 8PM, it is now the following Tuesday evening at 7PM. Vaping this now I get alot of the notes I remember and love from the Turncoat Industries' -- SBP ...(Southern Bread Pudding). So Officially the steep time is 4 days. I know that as the time goes on this gets richer and richer as well. I hope you mix and find this an enjoyable throwback southern bread pudding as much as I do.... Cheers Gordo
This Started out as Caramelized Pears in an Apple Cider Pudding. However, once I finished the Apple Cider Pudding I didnt think adding any more flavors would improve on this awesome taste. So I figured I should just stop here.
As for the Pudding, I used Chemnovatic Vanilla Pudding, but ATF did not recognize it so I put in FLV Van Pudding, and its OK if you use FLV . Actually at that point in the recipe you can use 4% of Chemnovatic Van Pudding, or FLV Van Pudding, OR ... CAP Vanilla Custard V2. They all work well here at 4%.
I hope you enjoy this, it is an amazing Fall Flavor.... also refreshing in the heat....Thoughts and comments welcome....Enjoy
If you like Sugar Cookies..... you have got to try these. Inspired by a mixer over on ELR known as JGrim. He mde a simple 4 flavor mix back in '16. I have vaped this for 3 years. Over that time I have tinkered with one aspect or another and now this recipe is just humming. Simply delicious. Most of the flavors are self explanatory but I will explain, or at least try to....
Almond; Because almond flavor in Sugar Cookies is amazing
Almond Cookie; Because it ups the almond aspect and keeps the Cookie balance
Marzipan; Because it enhances the almond flavor giving it depth without affecting the overall profile
Classic Sponge Cake; Originally I usedFW Yellow Cake, MB Sponge cake is sooo good and enhances the bakery notes here
Hard Crack Toffee; Very strong flvor, added here @ .15 to give this that "Oven Baked" edge..
Sugar Cookie; @ 7.5 to get all I can from this Flavor
Vienna Cream; @ 3.5 it turns out amazing
This can be vaped right away, but after 5 days the Vienna Cream and Almond settle in and it only gets so much better....
If you like Sugar Cookies, ..... have at it, you will taste the goodness right off (SNV) . Make enough though, you will want to taste this after a week........enjoy.
P.S. I almost forgot, ... Sweetener! I add .5 Super Sweet, sometimes .25... It is at your discretion.
P.S.S. Substitutions; MB Classic Spnge Cake can be subbed with 3% FW or JF Yellow Cake.
INW Marzipan can be subbed with .35 FA Marzipan ,
Hard Crack Toffee; can be taken out but those slight toasty edge notes wont be there...
This recipe was about building flavor notes. I wanted all I could get from the Strawberry Ripe, Then I wanted to lay in Just a Slight note of bananas and a slighter note of chocolate. All done to enhance the Strawberry Ripe note(s) and not break through as side notes. I think you will like it. As a Further Note: At the end of day two the chocolate and banana edge their way into the picture and the exhale of this vape becomes the most delicious strawberry. I have the coconut there for 1- the creamier body effect and 2- it helps keep the other three notes independent of each other so we can taste all three and not an amalgamation or blend of the three.. If you like strawberry I really think you will enjoy this.
I have been at this profile for three weeks now. Or is it four.....maybe five.....
This reminds me of Bad Drip's "Ugly Butter". I believe it is very similar to that profile. Although I like that, I have not had it in a long time, ....It is Banana cut with bakery cinnamon and all on a bed of fried glazed dough. Fantastic right off the shake, gets better with time. I hope you mix it and enjoy it. Comments welcome. Enjoy!
