I was forced to order 30ml of this as it was all that was available at the time.
FA- Vanilla Classic (Madagascar)
How can I burn through this stuff, any suggestions on good recipes? It smells delicious and I don’t want it to go to waste.

Yea, I suggest putting it in about everything you make. No joke, it will 1 up a recipe easily most of the time.

Vanilla is great even in a lot o fruits. Bakeries, tobaccos. There are very few things that aren’t good with it

You said it smells delicious… Is it proper vanilla smell? Are there any other flavours you can identify?
I’m asking because I’ve bought a bottle of this vanilla and it doesn’t smell right. Barely any vanilla when you smell it from the bottle. I have 2 mixes steeping right now to see if it comes out right when mixed but it doesn’t look good to be honest. I think I might have a bad batch.

I agree with @Beaufort_Batches.
I wouldn’t say burn through it…but it is a vanilla you should have in your tool box. If a recpie calls for a vanilla you don’t have this is the one you reach for.
Sure people say vanilla shisha inw is great. But again, when I don’t have the xyz vanilla for a mix this is the one I go to.

Definitely my go-to for vanilla flavors. It’s not super overpowering, but definitely a nice vanillay flavor. Vanilla shisha is good, but to me it’s more like vanilla frosting or candy. Vanilla tahity has an almond undertone (intentionally) and it’s very good, but not always what I’m looking for.
@Bad_Influence: Mine is pretty dark and doesn’t have much of a smell in the bottle. It does have a hint of a tart or maybe plastic smell. I wouldn’t let that put you off, though. Vienna cream smells like nail polish remover, but it’s heavenly in a vape.

Thanks JoJo, I’ve mixed a few recipes and have to see how they develop. I was just wondering that @Pentine said it smells delicious. I can’t confirm that so far but let’s wait what happens after 2 more weeks of steeping.
I have bought another Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla (TPA). This is also very dark and doesn’t really hit you with vanilla flavour from the bottle so maybe that’s just how these particular vanillas smell when they are concentrated.
I guess my quest to find that TW vanilla substitute will carry on for a while…

hic white tic-tac the taste is spot on
Madagascar is quite excellent.
HIC’s Irish Lass, Huckleberried’s Golden Oreo Cheesecake & Deek’s Golden Custard are just the few I can think of off the top of my head I use it in.
Well, I tried adding it to a Lemonade recipe but the sweetener in the recipe was too much so I’m remaking it now with less (sucralose).
Would say, 1% be a good number for a lemonade?
I looked up lemonade with vanilla on google and it seems like a pretty common thing so maybe it’ll be good in mine.
It may be best to start with the 0.25-0.5%. Otherwise it may take away from the key elements of lemon aid.
Personally, if I were adding it to a lemonaid I would add 0.5% vanilla Tahiti FA. But if you don’t have it I would personally do the 0.25% vanilla classic/Madagascar FA.
Tried it and it was pretty good but got kinda sickening after a bit. Going back to my original lemonade recipe which I am currently trying to tailor after Element’s pink lemonade. Does anyone believe there is vanilla in element pink lemonade? I don’t think there is but a lot of clones have it in there (though I’ve gone to disregarding 99% of what people say for their recipes as I KNOW percentages aren’t meant to be that high).
