im about to start on a smores journey myself, reading your thread has intrigued me. TPA MM at those levels…sounds interesting im looking forward to seeing the results first hand… thanks for the recipe session…will leave feedback for sure…
Smooth Weston by vampire vapes, really enjoying this one.
@vape4dayz I appreciate that, and would be very interested to hear your feedback on either of my two S’mores’s. I still feel like each needs/needed to be tweaked, but had to move on to other projects LOL. It’s surprising, but even at the high level of TPA MM it’s in no way overpowering or overbearing, due to the darkness of the FA Choco, and/or the sharpness/twang of the CAP GC.
@vape4dayz, @SessionDrummer both could just cheat and use the easier route
I normally not a fan of easy routes but we doing it with lots of concentrates, due to simplifying recipes or reducing amount of flavorings overall.
Anyways, (WF) S’mores cupcake is actually pretty good, add a bit of Graham and marshmallow and you’re pretty much set.
I know it says cupcake, but just like caps cupcake there’s not actually much detectable cupcake hence me calling it just s’mores lol.
Otherwise good ideas tho, definitely looking forward of seeing more of s’mores from scratch.
@eStorm Believe me, about half way through my iterations, I was like screw this, and did buy a few s’mores flavors but every one had something I didn’t like, or the profile was all wrong for what I was trying to do. Now, with that said, I’m ALWAYS on the prowl for anything S’mores whether I’ve mixed it or not. Don’t have any Wonder Flavors yet, but that could change. Thank you.
Probably not what you want to hear… But you could probably eliminate the “sharpness/twang” aspect by ditching the DX/v2 combinations.
The Butyric Acid is almost certainly responsible for that IMO/IME.
LOL @Sprkslfly I don’t want to NOT not hear anything. I know what you are talking about, but the small amount of DX I don’t think is doing it. I could be wrong (I like being wrong, because then I learn stuff), but I think it’s partially due to the liquor nature of the FA Choco, and the Cap GC (which I love), has a slightly punchy note to it. BUT, I could be wrong. Tell you what Mr.Sparks, I’m gonna try it without the DX, and let’s see what’s what. I labored, and I mean labored over a gazillion different iterations of choco’s, creams, etc. and it’s probably just because of my PITA nature, that I wanted a specific profile that made it harder. Once I nailed down the FA Choco, I played around quite a bit trying to “turn” the liquor nature of it, and about every attempt with the normal suspects Bavarian Cream, Cream Fresh, Milk/Dairy even Cream Milky Undertones, all seemed to pull the profile off, so I left them out.
I’m ALWAYS looking for improvments. I’ll post back, after I mix up a non DX tester.
Fair point my friend! It has been awhile since I’ve messed with FA chocolate so I could most definitely be forgetting something on that front.
Also, I started to mention it earlier, but, knowing how much time you’ve put into it, I was going to suggest trying VTA chocolate mousse, or perhaps FLV milk chocolate!
Initial impressions of both are very favorable!
This is a bit weird but only a test will tell - I will do one but have not had the time of late
LA Tart & Sour to make a better chocolate
What about the S’mores from Amoretti ? Everyone that’s tried their flavors say they are “spot on” to the name on the label, so wouldn’t their S’mores be similar ? As in really good - but stupid expensive and not a Super concentrate.
I was eyeing that flavor from them, but said NO because of the cost.
I appreciate your perspective on that @Sprkslfly. I knew ahead of time, anything with a Chocolate was going to be a PITA, just simply for the chocolate portion of it. I can’t tell you how many attempts I made using my fave TPA DCC, but it always just didn’t seem to do it for me, despite blending with other chocos. I was actually more than surprised with the failed attempts using my secret stash of INW MC (old version). I think I grew tired of the battle, and rather settled on the FA Choco. The next hurdle was the graham LOL, and so on.
Honestly, I almost burned myself out ON the S’mores hehehe. The most frustrating thing was allowing all of the flavors to be individually tasted, and working together as a whole, at the same time, unlike @Pro_Vapes stupid delicious Banana Split recipe, which had exactly what I was trying to accomplish.
I did try a few attempts with the FLV MC inlcuding blends, which didn’t hit my profile. Was I after something unobtainable ?? Maybe hehe. I don’t have many VTA’s yet,and I’m always open to different approaches. Please keep the great feedback coming !!!
Have you tried dark chocolate mf? I vaped my first three 12ml test mixes. It’s very close to cocoa fan without the coil gunk/black wicks. I’m very happy I invested in it. And yeah, @Pro_Vapes milk chocolate recpie is that good.
@Chrispdx No I actually didn’t have the MF DC when I was undergoing my S’mores treatment, but hmmmm, that’s actually a great idea. Maybe even try …
Yeah, how the HELL did they do that ??
That Milk Chocolate base would be awesome in a s’mores recipe!
I don’t know but it’s magical. It does discolor a wick just like a heaven custard would but that’s a’ok in my book. After vaping 36mls of dark choco mf @77 Watts with 0.2 ohm dual ss316l coils and was able to switch to another juice I was very happy. Could not do that with cocoa fa.
I did a myriad of FA Choco/Cocoa tests, and man, every time I touched the Cocoa, coil destruction came calling.
apparently its legit
well this was a complete accident but it turns out fa custard and vta avocado cream makes a banana custard and its not bad. first i mixed this and got really strong banana notes
then i mixed this to narrow down the cause and it seems alot better with .5% avo cream
i would say it is close to a real banana or at least a sub for vta banana custard
It will steep out tho all Vta creams have that banana back note as well as off note. Especially the avocado cream, but it’s mostly gone after around 6 weeks, till then you would have a good banana custard, since the actual b.custard is extremely potent lol
