Yam ice cream/cake recipe?

[DarthVapor]

As @Josephine_van_Rijn said, my recipes are public and to cut down on time (I have 100s), here is a great introduction to Taro. If you don’t like this one, taro isn’t for you.

The Taro Card
Damn copy as HTML never works for me on this site!?! Anyways, give that one a go.

The standard percentages for TFA Taro are at, or around, 2%.

@Xcwizit

yam I’ll use 3-6%

Only if you want to fry your taste buds and taste nothing but yam until your late 80s! FLV yam is VERY potent. I can’t stress this enough. The window for [very] noticeable flavor is .2-.6% Not 2-6%. .20-.60%

@Xcwizit

I’ve got VBIC, toasty almonds, 2 coconut concentrates, cheesecake, Vanilla custard, vanilla swirl

I’m not sure what manufacturers you have of these flavors, outside of vanilla swirl being TFA. Just remember that not all flavor types are created equal. It would make life so much simpler in the beginning, if it was. Some vanilla custards are shit, while others are perfect.

@Xcwizit

the base or under tones like VBIC coconut almond etc I use around 1-3%?

Again, it really depends on the company. If you go to the recipe side of the site and look up your flavors (by manufacturer), it will give you a vague jumping off point.

There is also a lot of other things in play when deciding %s. For example, the yam being a very potent flavor, it may need more of the VBIC to “break through” that potency. Whereas a more delicate flavor, say Strawberry Ripe, would be the opposite.

The best thing I can tell you being new to mixing, is know your flavors inside and out. This site is good for giving you general information, but ultimately it is up to you to decide what works for you, where your sweet spot is, and how various flavors play together. Trial and error, plus lots of time and patience. More of the latter than anything.

Hope this helps. Feel free to hit me up, if need be. It’s been a while since I’ve had an apprentice. I’m about due

Sorry for the noob questions

…and don’t ever be sorry about asking questions. That’s what this site was designed for and we have all had to start from the beginning. Some of us way back when we only had candy and food flavorings to work with, hehe. Just make sure you use the search function on the forums first, to avoid the angry mob

Most, if not all, the information is here for people. If you can’t find what you are looking for, there are people here that will definitely help you, regardless of how green you are

[Xcwizit]

Woops so less than 1% for the yam/Taro haha
You guys are bloody legends on here I feel the support already!

[Xcwizit]

Sorry was at work haha .2-.6% yam and 2% for taro got it… I’ve saved to my favorites the cats taro and the taro card … taro card sounds real delicious with alot of positive comments (minus the trolls) I’ve just got to source the missing flavs.
I have a good feeling bout this as my ADV is currently The Mamasan Purple Cheesecake which I managed to find a local vendor here in Australia but here’s a link from google:

Since we were on the subject of Taro, I have a bunch of Flavorah’s new flavors coming for pre-release review and taro is one of them. I have very high hopes for this one!! I hope they do it right and it’s better than the 2 that are already out there!!

[Xcwizit]

@DarthVapor

of Flavorah’s new flavors coming for pre-release review and taro is one of them

Let us know how you go bro!!!
I’d be keen to hear … my flavors come in today YAY!

[Xcwizit]

WOOHOO!!!

I stumbled upon these Japanese taro things. Excellent taro flavor. Like a vanilla marshmallow flavor. Having never tasted real taro before, these are excellent.

Hehe yep I’ve eaten them a few times.
Try the Pandan ones I wouldn’t mind a Pandan ejuice either @DarthVapor thoughts on Pandan?
If you’re a taro lover then you’re most definitely a Pandan one too hehe
Im actually sipping on Pandan tea atm here in Australia and the weather here today reached 44°C

[Xcwizit]

This was and still is my fav ice cream of all time since childhood.
If it’s available in your area give a try guys!

[R113]

Never heard of pandan. I’ll see if adagio teas has it. They seem to have everything imaginable. What’s pandan taste like? Or closest flavor you can think of?

[Xcwizit]

@R113

A more smoother subtle version of taro.
Unlike taro being a potato, Pandan is a plant

This has been a great thread. Makes me want to break out the Taro (TPA). One thing to know is Taro (TPA) gets stronger on steeping. Something to remember if you are test vaping a fresh mix. If it doesn’t taste “Taro” enough …wait several weeks (or whatever recommended steep time)

Watching this thread for some Taro (FLV) previews @DarthVapor !

…and some Yam Ice Cream Cake @Xcwizit

Watching this thread for some Taro (FLV) previews

I should of mentioned, but the FLV Taro is still being worked on and won’t be part of the first round of releases. Probably be around June. I am however going to troubleshoot and try their first rendition of it. I won’t be posting any reviews on that one though, since it isn’t what they will be actually releasing. I’m just glad they know to work on it a bit more, instead of rushing it to market.

Flavor Express Taro is another one that’s pretty good. I’ve been mixing both of them together lately and it’s a great taro base. They are almost identical in flavor and percentages, with FE being a little more “creamy”/heavy. Not by much though

[DarthVapor]

@Xcwizit

If you’re a taro lover then you’re most definitely a Pandan

It’s been a while since I’ve had it or michi, but yes. Good stuff
