Best cheesecake base! That’s what I used for a cherry ripe cheesecake which was always popular. I haven’t made it for a while.

Here are a couple of recipes for Lemon Meringue Pie
One - GC base - aka AMERICAN Lemon Meringue Pie and the other without.
Read the notes - for the total percentage of flavouring.

You will find with our flavour concentrates they allow you to bend the flavour to profiles you are chasing, for instance the Maccas Coffee will allow you to make a coffee cake, a tiramisu, Milk Coffee, latte coffee, or something else. It is intentional that all the flavours can be adapted this way.
This recipe is an extremely good and of commercial value. It is more like a coffee cappuccino on steroids.
Yes the % of flavours are high, though you will find the reasons why, plus our flavour tend not to bend at extreme levels. Again how they are made.

Ok those look interesting, so basically it’s a lemon cheesecake. A Lemon meringue or key lime pie is essentially a custard filling with a pie crust. No cheesecake base. Sorry for the rant but being a lover of both key lime and lemon meringue pies it bugs me when recipes say that it’s a pie when they are cheesecake based.
I told myself I’d never share this recipe, but to me this is a key lime or lemon meringue style pie. Simply change the VT limes to VT Sour lemon and VT lemonade or lemon meringue tart for a lemon meringue Pie
Key Lime Pie
(VT) Biscuit Base 1
(VT) Croissant 3
(VT) Key Lime 2
(VT) Lime Cordial 1
(VT) Pudding Base 0.5
(VT) Sweet Cream 0.75
(VT) Vanilla Cream 1.25
(VT) Warm Custard 4
(VT) Yoghurt Base 1.5
A little piece of KEY WEST in a dessert vape!
A true key lime pie is not a cheesecake, it is not green & does not a have a soft pudding texture. It has a pale yellow color that comes from the use of egg yolks and the texture is a thick, full and firm custard with a slightly sour and tangy finish. It is usually garnished with a dollop of whipped cream.
I started with a thick citrus based custard by using VT Warm Custard which is a slightly eggy custard with VT Yoghurt Base which tastes like a soft creamy lemon custard with a bit of sour tang. I also added a little bit of VT Pudding Base because even though most people think of it as more of a bakery, if it is used low enough it can add also more of a fullness to a custard.
And for the key lime to flavor the custard I’m using VT Key Lime because it tastes like a sweet, tart, and authentic key lime but with an almost slightly candied vibe to it, and I paired it with the nice and creamy VT Lime Cordial which adds and boosts the juicy, zesty lime flavor.
For a buttery crust as opposed to a GC crust, I used very little VT Biscuit Base with a lot of VT Croissant. And for some light creamy vanilla whipped cream, I used VT Vanilla Cream with VT Sweet Cream.
This to me tastes like a Key Lime Pie as opposed to a key lime cheesecake.

This is the only flavor I am missing and I can’t get it at BCF. What would be a good sub for that one?

I’d have to say FA Florida Key Lime would be the best sub.

Thank you, I can’t find VTA Key Lime anywhere and I don’t want to go to the VTA site.

That’s ok I’m sure once I run out of VT Key Lime I’ll either use FA Florida key lime or just archive the recipe. Vape Train is the only place to get VT Key Lime and they only have 500ml-1000ml available. I’ve emailed them to see if they would do a breakdown so that they could offer 30ml, and have never gotten an answer.

What is it with certain VTA flavors disappearing from BCF and Nomz?
3 Likes
I personally think that if certain flavors don’t sell really well it’s just better for BCF and Nomz to just phase it out rather than restocking those flavors. A lot of times if flavors like Sugarloaf and chocolate mousse run out but sell fairly well they get restocked. It’s a waste of money for companies to stock flavors that don’t sell. Then they can make room for newer companies like VSO. I know when I visited DIYVapor outside of Detroit Michigan and got to tour their facility they are not a huge facility maybe 2500sq ft. so they just don’t have the space to store a lot of different companies.

Makes perfect sense but I’m mad at myself for not getting Key Lime by VTA while I could from Chef’s before they closed, especially since I do have the other 2 limes and lemons by VTA. I don’t ever recall if BCF ever carried Key Lime.

Would you use this at the same percentages in the recipe you posted?

As far as I know Key Lime wasn’t offered at either Chefs or BCF. I got mine a few years ago straight from VTA in a huge $300+ order with some of their e-liquids. They have a lot of good flavors that were not carried outside of their site.

I must have a case of mistaken identity then 
. I remember seeing quite a bit of VTA flavors from Chef’s that I couldn’t get domestically. I will mix up your recipe subbing with FA when I get home. Thank you for sharing that recipe.
