Us Irish like a lick of liquor in ours hehe, not always! We get all the English toffees over here too, always remind me of Christmas, weād always have a big box of toffees in the house
LOL
@Maureeenie @Uncaged
Much the same here in Bonnie Scotland, the sugar capital of the world! LOL
May not be good for our health but the dentists are rich! LOL
Funnily enough a few years ago whilst in America I tried English Toffee and I was disappointed as it didnāt taste anything like English toffee? Much like the flavourings available?
Must be something else added or not? But it is different?
I still think a lot of the taste profile is down to how the mouth is coated with the sweet creamy goodness?
Almost molasses / butter like ?
Actually chewing, sucking a piece as I type this.LOL
I had similar experience with sweets and cereals in the States. They tend to use a lot of sweetener, where actual sugar is more common over here. I donāt use sweetener in my recipes now outside of marshmallow and meringue, I find they offer a more natural sweetness, where the others give that diet coke type of āsweetā. Maybe try some marshmallow? FAās is really good.
One of my mates is a mad Scot btw heās from Ayrshire, I think? because I can barely understand him half the time
Have to agree!
I am a big chocolate lover and I just donāt get American chocolate? To me it tastes of the cheap, artificial chocolate we get here?
Really donāt see the fuss over Hershey bars?
Sorry my American cousins! LOL
What do yo mean you donāt understand him? LOL
We do tend to speak very fast and when you throw in our own words then itās understandable that we arenāt understood at times? LOL
I have to make a conscious effort when conversing with a non Scot, in speaking, to me anyway, slower and watching that I donāt use Scots words! Lol
ā¦and @Uncaged you guys are right about sugar everything here in the US, itās bad
You know⦠Iām thinking your both right thoughā¦what if it is a molasses and liquor note missing from the toffee flavoring from the vape flavoring?
ā¦and butter!
Yeah thereās a distinct buttery note to many toffees over here, hence why I use butterscotch, and the caramel just ramps up that stronger, toffee note.
@Chewy, Iām just kidding on the accent He does have quite a thick Scotās one alright, but Iām well used to it by now. Whenever Iām abroad people have trouble understanding me!
Chewy,
I spent three years in Germany and I can definitely say I agree with you on our chocolate in Americaā¦
What about this then?
TOCāS Toffee Crunch
1.25% Butter Cream (CAP)
3% Butterscotch (FA)
2% Caramel (FA)
2% Fresh cream (FA)
1% Jamaican Rum (FA)
5% Molasses (Real Flavors)
Oh my, that looks good. I have everything but the Molasses but I can fix thatā¦
Have you tried this recipe?
no I was asking before I did hon. Not sure if Jama rum will give that āboozyā touch though because it really doesnāt hit me that way?
Oh whoopsā¦sorry⦠I was thinking the percentage of the rum was a little high? The Molasses looks a bit high as well if itās strong flavoring? Looks like a good recipe though.
That molasses is the VG based one. I used it at 10% in a tobacco recipe so was cutting it here?
Oh⦠ok. Then 5% probably isnāt too bad at all!
Cool, thanks. Iāll knock down the Jama too. I wonder though if I should use the Cognac from INW instead if booze is what might help?
That sounds good too!
Let me know for sure! It sounds awesome!
@authormichellehughes
Yes European chocolate is very different, in a good way.
The Belgian chocolate especially is just heavenly creamy chocolate nirvana!
I would urge all Americans to give it a try!
That looks a very nice recipe?
Havenāt got the molasses or rum but they will be on the list!
Maybe a bit of raisin with it would be nice?
If I was looking to replicate toffee I would be looking at different butters to emphasise the smooth varying layers of dairy that would coat the mouth, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla and a nice sweet cream?
It is not something I have given much thought to, until now, so I guess I should start my next flavour quest? LOL
@Uncaged
LOL
Yes I knew you were joking so no worries!
I have had Belgian chocolate, nothing like it on earth. My sisters exās mother used to bring it back from Germany for us at Christmas.
I have a friend in Switzerland that sends me chocolate. Itās so⦠so⦠so wonderful!
The first Chocolate Vape I found that I DO enjoy:
Toffee Dream Cream FW
Caramel IWA
Chocolate FA
I think I used IWA, maybe MF or a combination of the two.
But, anyway⦠Iāve tried about 6 different chocolate ejuice (s) and this is the first that I really like and I do like it yesterday, today and tomorrow. Sorry I donāt have specific percentages for you. I just keep them pre-steeped and put them together in a bottle and/or in my tank. This one I first mixed in my tank, and it was so good, I put it in a bottle. I just do it by feel. of course, youād use a lot less of the chocolate than you would the caramel. If someone can make a recipe and post it⦠please do. Of course, you guys have probably already made this mix. Just thought Iād go ahead and post about it because truly⦠I am picky and donāt like hardly any chocolate vapes Iāve tried (this far), except this one.
