Honey Sweeteners

E-liquids Flavors

I’m making a honey based recipe and am trying to figure out what sweetener would be the best to use. Suclarose is an option, but I’d rather go with a unique sweetener. Looking at the notes I see lots of stuff about sweetening up fruits but not much else.

I’m thinking either FA Marshmallow, FA Meringue, FA Pear, TPA Dragonfruit (I have INW too but never tried it). For all I know, any of these might clash or heavily mute honey since it seems pretty delicate.

Here’s the recipe using Meringue. I haven’t worked out percentages yet, just added the flavors.

Caramel (Flavorah)
Cream (Flavorah)
Graham Cracker (Clear) (TPA)
Honey (FA)
Honey Bee (Flavorah)
Meringue (FA)

With all that honey and caramel, are you sure you need a sweetener? Looks like it’d be pretty tasty without. :slight_smile:

You’re prolly right … Caramel and honey should be sweet enough. Im just getting some vaper tongue lately so I’m looking to brighten it up a little. The combo of those 2 honeys are pretty spectacular at making an authentic flavor btw. I love em… all my friends think a honey flavored liquid is gross for some reason.

I think I’m the only person on the forum that isn’t crazy about Honey Bee. LoL. I love FA Honey though. :slight_smile: I’d go with the meringue, I think you’re on the right track there. Looking forward to hearing how this goes. :smiley:

So I made this:

1.5% Caramel (Flavorah)
1% Cream (Flavorah)
2% Graham Cracker (Clear) (TPA)
0.5% Honey (FA)
0.6% Honey Bee (Flavorah)

Thing is all I taste is honey just like every other recipe I’ve made with FA Honey. I would think 0.5% isn’t very high. The median is 0.5% and I don’t see it used any lower in recipes I’ve checked.

Think I should bump some of the other ingredients like maybe graham cracker and/or caramel, or lower the honey?

I decided to ditch the Meringue until I get a good mix of flavors, then decide if I need to use it.

Honey takes a lot of steeping time at least from my experience and it is very strong. I haven’t worked with Honey Bee but with it mixed with Honey (FA) that is a lot of honey flavor may want to drop them both down a bit.

You should try LA Honey clover. I rarely use LorAnn but their clover honey is on point and the best honey I have tried! I never had any issues with sweetness either. I know that doesn’t answer your question but if you like honey vapes :wink:

Maybe throw in a splash of FLV custard? Catalan cream? Marshmallow? I think it looks sweet as is though

Seems to be with you lately haha :slight_smile:

that’s good though. they’ve always been my favorite type of vape.

i’ll try backing down both honey flavors and see if everything else comes out. i hope it can get it to work out because the honey has such a good flavor. i really wanna see how the other flavors go with it.
