Ok hereās my attempt at trying to explain the taste of Jaffs?
The sponge part is certainly drier than a traditional sponge cake texture, more dense and gloppy in your mouth?
So any sponge concentrate would work I would guess but I would opt for FW yellow Cake.
The orange is a jelly like consistency that is sweet and tangy in equal measures so I would look at pairing Caps Sweet Tangerine with A touch if FW Ecto Cooler and round it out with Caps Jelly Candy.
The chocolate is a dark chocolate that has a very slight bitterness to it so for me it would have to be INW Chocolate.
At a rough guess it would go something like this?
FW Yellow Cake 5%
Cap Sweet Tangerine 5%
FW Ecto Cooler 1.5%
Cap Jelly Candy 4%
INW Chocolate 2%
Sweetener of your choice @2%
Might actually mix this up over the weekend to try out?
In the meantime Iām off to the local shop to get me a box of Jaffa Cakes to accompany my cup of tea! Lol
Rub it in Chewyā¦you can go just pick up a box lol
thank you I like the idea of the jelly candy good touch there. I donāt use FW YC anymore but I think the labyrinth and pound cake maybe a suitable alternative I just may bump up my ratios a touch more. I donāt have INW Chocolate only Chocolate cream & Chocolate Milk INW. hmmm a lil bitter you say I may add in cocoa for a dryer touch.
Lol
Now you know how it feels @Amy2 for your cousins this side of the pond when you all wax lyrical about the American goodies we canāt get easily! Lol
Understand your concerns regarding the FW YC,
I have them myself but I do like that YC, probably all the nasties? Lol
FA Nonnas cake would work equally well? I think the crux of the taste would be to avoid any additional creams or vanillas that would add a moistness to it.
Yes the FA chocolate would work,anything to give that darker chocolate taste and @BathVaper good shout with the bergamot that would be a very good addition?
Mine is all mixed up and I will leave for a week steeping.
But straight off the bat it smells and finger tastes quite promising looking forward to this one!
Chewys reply of Nonna cake is a good start for the spongy part of the vape
For the tangy orange I would try Inaweraās orange shisha a proper sharp and slightly bitter orange finished taste and maybe Medicine Flower Dark Chocolate.
Another alternative I have read about in the past but not tried is Molinberryās Chocolate Clementine,sounds like it may have potential for a jaffa cake mix with the Nonnaās cake from the description.
Ya know I kicked myself in the end for using Labyrinth in place of Nonna only because Labyrinth has a great sponge cake effect donāt get me wrong but I forgot about the blasted red berries in it way off in the back groundā¦FA needs to stop attempting to make SA flavors and just keep rocking the profiles we want minus the " extra" crap they put in them like the berries for labyrinth and Metaphor has some sort of citrus in thereā¦ so Yep I should of thought of Nonna
Glad I did add FLV pound cake higher I may have to go back to the drawing board on this one and drop labyrinth add Nonna.
Iāll prob try mine out next week sometime but most likely that pound cake is guna keep me for a good few weeks.
We get Jaffa cakes and Brunch ice creams here in Ireland
Jaffa cakes are actually made by 2 companies, McVities and Jacobs. They taste a little different, mostly the chocolate. But it is an orange jelly/jam centre with soft sponge base and the choc is a bit ā¦ bland, I guess, plain. Theyāre not overly sweet but ā¦ tangy.
Brunch was one of my favorite treats as a kid in the summer. Strawberry/vanilla ice cream, again not overly sweet, and the biscuit ācrumbsā surrounding it were soft, like a mix of digestives and soft pink wafer bisctuis maybe? [of course, biscuit to us here is your cookie?]
Thereās been complaints in recent years over Brunch, people claiming HB are holding back on the biscuit crumbs
I would say, when I was younger, the crumbs were at least 20% of the treat .
Sounds well nice, tried to favourite it but it says the recipe is marked as private so I liked it and look forward to making it. Couple of concentrates short, although I gotta order some more, mad mix day today, I made up about 420ml
That sounds good, I like the lick of raspberry in the mix, as the strawberry isnāt overly sweet. I think marshmallow might work better than meringue though, it doesnāt have any dusted icing sugar texture or taste, more smooth creamy whipped ice cream, if you get me? The Cheesecake Graham crust and biscuit sound right though. Graham cracker/crust will help that pink wafer sense you get from the real thing
Well I am here to tell you I have No idea what that is guna be like it could be a disaster please make a small batch should you make it I would hate to disappoint you. Itās a WIP ( work in progress ) for sure esp since Iāve never even tasted what Brunch Bars taste like !
@Amy2 Iām sure all your recipes will be delicious & thanks to your link iāve found & followed you, your recipes look just like my kind of Vape. Being in the UK all the good placesā¦
Can I name them???
chefsflavours.co.uk (my fav)
Use POTV for discount, free delivery over Ā£30, which is easy when you buy 100ml bottles of Cap v1 for Ā£13.50.
(Both of the above have similar or the same prices, just vapourdepot seems to be out of stock on a lot of flavours, they are really good though)
And both do LA concentrates, though under different names due to licensing laws, Instead of Loranns Flavors.
They are, Laurenās Flavors & Lorain Flavors respectively.
The next one is rainbowvapes.co.uk, free delivery over a tenner, although slightly more expensive, Ā£2.25 instead of Ā£2.00 for a 10ml bottle of Cap & TFA/TPA Ā£1.65 instead of Ā£1.50 for a 10ml bottle, if you just need a few concentrates this more than makes up for post and you get a free bottle of juice.
Well, I made the Bruch Bar and sampled it along the way up to now at the two week mark.
I can say that it is a FANTASTIC recipe. Very well balanced, and a pleasure to vape.
At day one, it hadnāt settled and was heavy on the cereal notes. By one week in, the cereal had softened and the flavours I expected from a strawberry gaytime (yes, that is what they are called over here in Australia). At two weeks, this stuff is hard to put down. A great balance of flavours, including the ice-cream, strawberry and the crumble.
I will have this on hand from now one I think. Just mixed up another 150mL bottle to go into steeping.
I also tried a few renditions with subs including CAP NYCheesecake and INW Shisha Strawberry. The Shish didnāt work out as well as the original, but I think I prefer the CAP Cheesecake (solely personal taste here though).
eating better stuff than what I got available.
