It’s very smooth and tasty. Goes great with fruit, tobacco and coffee! It’s not a real stand out chocolate, but more a pleasant back note kinda thing. The punchy stuff is the cocoa. Yep…love that as well; not super bitter chocolate, but very deep.
Most of my recipes have tobacco in the mix, but those recipes are public, so anybody can see the usage of the two flavors. Usually around 1 to 2 % is the max.
Hmm I think you and I have talked about this one not too long ago. Maybe I’ll pick up this one too. I don’t want a sweet chocolate that’s for sure. Glad it’s semi but 5% seems like a lot I suppose that’s for stand alone I’d be probably mixing it with almonds or cherries or something of those sorts. Maybe an orange cream.
I think collectively ( from different vendors ) I have around 6 different types of chocolates so to have a solid proper one would be nice. They either have a brownie or a fudge hazelnut or another type of chocolate paired with them. Oh and now I have the cocoa. I think I like chocolate.
I’ve been mixing this @ 1-2% as a background flavor and I know it’s there in my mixes. I’m really surprised to hear 5% standalone is high… TPA, FW and Cap are in the teens on a lot of flavors.
I expected the flavor range to be on the lines of FA I suppose. 5% for a strong concentrated chocolate would be high. Yes TFA/CAP that wouldn’t cut it I agree.
But then again 2 months ago when I was vaping 18-20% flavor I wouldn’t of believed 5% standalone either. Whenever I became sensitive to pg over the past month I can’t tolerate a high % and thankfully I can taste my mixes even at 6% VG Max on a tank. So guess it really depends on the person more over than anything.
I see your point. Most INW I own is lower. So it is high for INW. I have a couple of their tobaccos that is 7-8% standalone. It would be nice if every flavor in a vendors line would be close to the same. It would take away the guess work.
I love chocolaty vapes so when I saw this thread I had to read it. I have many chocolate flavors from CAP and TFA so when I read how low the amount of flavoring in HIC’s Swiss Bliss I want to try it. Sounds like I can more money using FA.
My question is about the FA Cocoa, is it an atty killer at 2% or 3% as some have said?
It does gunk your coils, and you can’t vape it as hot as other liquids - too high wattage, and it tastes weird. Other than that, use small amounts - it’s good
Thanks for a quick answer. To be clear your saying it will gunk up my coils at 2%? I tend to vape at lower watts so the bad taste might not be an issue for me. I’m more concerned about having to replace coils too often negating the cost benefit of using less flavoring.
@Pro_Vapes I got the flavors to make this a couple weeks ago and made this one but as a max VG. Hics Swiss Bliss I am not getting anything but Frito corn chips(no salt) sprinkled with Hershey cocoa baking powder absolutely Horrible taste. I don’t know if I did something wrong or if I have not let it steep long enough. Going by all the great things said on VU about this recipe I made 30 ml so I have plenty left and in a dark drawer for now. I went back and checked my percentages and they are the same except made max VG. Maybe just my taste buds but not at all what I expected.
This is the mix I did at max VG
3% FlavourArt Cocoa
2% FlavourArt Chocolate
1.5% Acetyl Pyrazine
I use the flavor as a chocolate base. I do like chocolate in recipes but not an all chocolate vape. The frito thing is the AP @ 2%. To save the mix I would suggest to split it in half or quarters and remake without AP and add your old mix @ one quarter or one half. Basically diluting you current mix.
I figured the AP was the culprit of the frito taste. I am fairly new to diy e-liquid and I am just beginning to experiment with chocolate. After doing a lot of reading I tried that recipe first just because of all the feedback about how good it was. Back to 10ml test batches first always. I will try cutting it down as you suggested just to see if it is as good as many seem to think. My goal with chocolate for now is a realistic York peppermint patty mix that taste like something more than just peppermint. I have tried many from this site but so far none have been anything close to what I am looking for. Still working on getting my chocolate flavorings stash built up (3 now and 3 coming Monday) so I will keep trying.
I have one in front of me right now. I used 1% FA Walnut and it turned my mix into stinking feet. I’m duplicating everything in a new equal size mix with no added walnut. Then I’m combining the two, making it a new mix with only .5% walnut. Hopefully it will get the feet out of my mix.
