Private Recipe Sneak Peek (WIPs) Part 1

Okay, I’ve played with this a bit. Based off of a Castle Long V2 by David, changed up the percentages a bit and used a little Real Flavors.
It has been a year (or 2 or 3) since I had tried the Castle Long Reserve, that I wanted to try again… I couldn’t vape the juices that used Coconut extra, this mix seems to taste nice right off the bat, and still is pretty smooth with only a day rest. If it holds up (and doesn’t mute out) I’ll make a larger batch, as it is… well hopefully someone might try this out and let me know what ya think.

Castle Long Tut
4.00% Kentucky Bourbon (TPA)
2.00% Toasted Almond (TPA)
2.00% Vanillin 10% (TPA)
1.50% Bourbon (Vanilla Bourbon) (FW)
1.50% Oak Wood (FA)
1.00% Acetyl Pyrazine 5%
1.00% Coconut (SC) (RF)
0.75% Brown Sugar (SC) (RF)

For me I’ve only played with coconut candy and coconut extra. I kept having a rough time with things tasting only of coconut when the extra was used… even tried dropping the percent down to 0.2% when the recipe called for 2.0% and I still could only taste coconut (not in a good way). Seems like I can use the SC RF Coconut and finally mix things calling for coconut and still taste the other ingredients… I like it.

bookmarked for later when I get more RF SC flavors on hand for an all RF SC adaptation. I could probably adapt it now as I have most of those flavors except for vanillin (I probably have something else with vanilla notes I could sub, and kentucky bourbon (I have RF SC Bourbon for that).

I like it but have only used it as a single flavor test so far at 1.5%. I have a few different recipes planned to use it in when I get back around to testing.

Day 1… I have continually finger tasted this over the 1st day. It’s absolutely addictive. I loaded my Boreas today and gave it a try. I’m not really a SnV person, but this is tasting really phenomenal. It does seem it needs a bit more steeping though because I do get a slight sharpness that I feel will calm down in time, but this flavor combo is almost spot on. The topnotes are SB and Grape with citrus undertones. There’s a very slight tartness they I feel is nearly the same in the real Skittles. The sweetness and tartness is well balanced in this mix. I have a feeling that this mix will be my most flavorful creation when it is completed.

Until my Grape MF purchase, I had no grape that I really liked. Although it is the most flavorful I’ve tried, it’s not as potent as some other MF flavors. IMO it’s very similar to Welch’s Grape.

Usage .5-1.2%

I don’t have any mf at all how would you compare the strength of mf to rf sc.

Looking at the notes i would guess at 3 - 4 x as strong ?

Edit: just read a few more notes some look about the same strength ish

From what I have used I’d say MF is 2-3x more potent. Like most vendors I find MF usage does vary. Sometimes you only need 1 or 2 drops… others might be 1-1.2%, depending on the mix.

Cool thanks - i will try it at 2x and see where that gets me @ 3.6 % the strawberry must be quite strong - but I love me some skittles.

Just re read

The SB in this mix is SB SC RF. I prefer the SC SB over the MF.

Just time chime in…I love mf. Right now just vaping pear mf. Simple fresh cream with a bit of marshmallow FA and it’s just yummy.

I have the pear, but I haven’t used it but once. Care to share your recipe? I’d like to vape a good simple pear.

Turns out I have been vaping the below thinking of how to properly twist pear mf. Well, it turns out I twisted on my first mix. Lol. Every decision below is based on experiance and just smelling the concentrate.

Below represents how I mixed.

Mixed 1/15 70/30pg. Version 1. All flavors marked zero flavor pg/vg in ejuice me up.
Chris Pdx M’F’n Pear
Pear mf 2% (yup…I believe this may be the highest percent for this flavor)
Marshmallow FA. 1.5% (smooths edges, lifts bottom notes)
Pear FA 0.75% (yup to give a bit of “pear sweet”)
Fresh cream FA 0.5% (yup…yeah duh it’s there…it’s required for my style of simple fruits)
Fuji Apple FA 0.5% (this is what I call the reverse Fuji pear effect)

Min steep I would guess is two weeks. But at this I don’t touch anything till 4 weeks.

I don’t “air” out any of my mixes. 10 min hot water bath just so I could shake my mix on the sawzall.

Mallow could be dropped to 1% or 0.5% personally I may drop to 0.75% to allow for a harsher punch. But most people will not like that.

Future twist. 0.5% honeydew mf.

Thanx bro… pairing the 2 pears might be what I’m missing. I’ll give this a shot cause I love me some pears.

btw… good notes… very helpful.

Try Lemonade cookie TFA. This is more of a lemon tart, but the lemonade cookie is a light fluffy lemon flavor and is really good.
Lemon cookie with creamy filling - by Jazzy, Feb 17, 00:48
Ingredient ml Grams %
Cake Batter Dip (FW) 1.25%
CAP NY Cheesecake 1.6%
Graham Cracker v2 (CAP) 0.6%
Juicy Lemon (CAP) 2%
Lemon Sicily (FA) 1%
Lemonade Cookie (TPA) 1.5%
Whipped Cream (TPA) 1.5%

PG/VG-ratio: 12/88
Flavor total: 2.84 ml (9.45%)
Tastes good as a shake and vape (more like lemon meringue), gets more cookie-ish in 3+ weeks.

Nana Oat Bars look fantastic! I like that we are now in the same ballpark with flavorings, you make some really great stuff. I hearted it and will mix it up tomorrow but ill be using Banana SC RF at a slightly higher % just to see how it works out.


WIPs

I mixed only one tonight:

It isnt really a V2, its a rewrite which resets it to V1. Just from the smell ill probably be looking at a Peanut Butter addition.


I mixed this during the weekend:

Another complete rewrite with current flavorings. I was thinking Cardamom (FA) as an addition. I want this release to be lighter, much lighter, in flavor than the other V’s.


I mixed this on the 14th:

Good call on the GC SC @Pro_Vapes, ill be replacing GC Clear with it in all my current recipes.


This one i have been working on since Paczki arrived at my home. There are 6 versions all together but i think this is the one i am moving forward with. I get to vape test several of them in a couple days.

The finger test is fantastic, in future versions i think ill be playing with the vanilla a bit, perhaps adding a bit of french van or ShishaV.

EDIT: One of these days ill stop tinkering with some of the recipes i work on and actually release them…
