Added creams to a mix and main note muted, will it come back?

Gonna put an update up here instead of bumping the thread.

No, it did not come back. It tastes weird. This recipe on the other hand, tastes good, it’s SNV even with that vanilla custard in there. Idk what it does, it does something. Or maybe the marshmallow helps. No clue. I just know I mixed it and it tasted good.

Alright I’ve been DIY for about 2 years now but this felt like a very beginner question. I have a crunch berry flavor that I love, and I wanted to add a little meringue and milkshake to it in an attempt to give it creamy/milkyness. Only this is… After I added .5% meringue and .5% milkshake, it seems to have killed the crunch berry. It’s even hard to smell in the bottle now. Will it ever come back after steep? Should I add more crunchy berry? I think I put 2.5% - 3% in the mix. I see people with very high single flavor mix in the notes. Could I potentially add more crunchy berry to bring it back?

And also, I can’t link my recipes at all for some reason.

Those 2 things wouldn’t have muted the cereal. Maybe try crunch berry higher. What’s the average median used? I use TPA fruit circles at 4-5% in a recipe, cap silver line fruit circles at 7-8^, FW fruity flakes are around 2%. If you want to add creaminess you could add TPA dairy milk, and some meringue and even add a cream in there bit I think your cereal might need adjusting if you’re looking for a cereal milk vape.

Ok awesome, thank you! That’s the answer I wanted to hear lol. I usually mix 3% crunch berry with 2% Bavarian cream and it’s plenty strong. I figured it shouldn’t have muted. I swear though, as soon as I added those 2 to the mix, it’s like crunch berry disappeared. Very strange. I’m gonna try to add 2% more crunch berry and see what happens. One of the reasons this is one of my favorite flavors is the lack of needing any steep. It usually good after a day

Update: Still can’t detect the crunch berry, but I’m gonna let it steep a couple days. I noticed when I vaped the snv i can taste it, but if Ive already been vaping a crunch berry mix that’s a few days old I can’t taste the new one in comparison. This particular mix is one I’ve already had for a couple days before adding the meringue and cream.

I’ll just try to lay off crunch berry for a couple days. The mix smells very nice now, I can definitely smell crunch berry again. The more I mix, it’s like something that seems simple turns into a wildcard. It’s enjoyable though.

I see no sweetener Maybe the Bavarian crème is sweeter just a thought

Oops, no sorry that was overlooked. There’s .5% cap super sweet in it. When I originally made the recipe with just the crunch berry, I forgot to save it.

Ok, in regards to another juice now, so I’ve read that creams have a tendency to mute flavors. I added SSA ice cream vanilla to my root beer float recipe, and the root beer floated away!!! It was a little strong for what I was going for, and it was only 10ml, so I’m not too upset. I’m interested to see how this one works out though. Im actually wanting the cream flavors to share the main note with root beer. Im gonna try a totally new mix next.

SSA vanilla ice cream contains up to 20% vanillin. That’s what is muting the flavor, not the creams.

Ok, thanks. I’ve just been having trouble with the new creams I’ve bought. It must be the vanillin content then. Particularly crunch berry doesn’t seem to want to play nice with any of them. I actually re-tasted that root beer though, it didn’t mute as bad as I thought. The crunch berry on the other hand is a different situation. It’s no big deal though really. I still thoroughly enjoy it without any milky type flavor. I may figure something out eventually. It could be my taste buds too. I’m used to being able to snv crunch berry, maybe the flavors are just reacting and will settle and the flavor will return. I never know with this stuff.

i love some crunchy berry cereal too, one of my ADVs is a crunch berry custard. I have to use 5% for it to play nice with the vanilla custard.

Ok! Very interesting. I actually tried a recipe last week were I added 1% vanilla custard, with 2% Bavarian cream, but I only had crunch berry at 2% and it seemed to fade too much after a few days. I’m gonna try a higher percent again, it’s just last time I went above 3.5% I thought it muted. Maybe it was just me. I like it just with Bavarian cream. My taste must be way off, because I usually taste it plenty strong at 3% but now it tastes weak. I’m losing it lol.

Apparently my taste buds are just broken right now. It’s so weird, now I can’t taste crunch berry at all. It must be after tasting my new flavors. I guess something in those has overloaded my taste buds for crunch berry… But I can taste my other juices.

Shake n vape, when you shake it up very well and vape it right after instead of letting it steep for a few days.

Ah. Thanks. All my flavors include chocolates and other sweets. Love me my desserts! I understand they need to steep for a couple weeks.

Damn it. Sundays, the day!
