I have this in my “not sure how to use” box at present because I purchase it on a whim. Has anyone used it, either alone or in mixes? I looked here and on that other place, but there are not many notes on it and a wide variety of SF percentages… Want to know if it’s a SF flavour or just an accent one. If SF, at what percent?
It doesn’t have much in the way of notes anywhere, but I did see it compared to the original holy vanilla. Wouldn’t know how to use that either though…
True @Steampugs, was just hoping for a starting point for it or some sort of guidance. Like, is it strong, weak, a SF, does it need a long steep or short? You know…
Once I try it, if I hate it I may just put it back in the box. But if I have not used it correctly, that would be a waste I reckon.
Do you have a plain custard that you really like? If so, mix it with the Overload. Get that spreadsheet that was made for fiddling with recipes over at ELR. I’ve never used this flavor but start at 1% then add to it. I do remember reading that it was the bomb in it’s heyday and Holy Vanilla was its closest competitor. If you like vanilla, you’ll probably like it. I love HV but no other flavor gives me taste fatigue as quickly as vanilla does.
I could put it with some CAP VC1 and see how it goes.as I do like vanilla. Start low and work up. Would you think it was a long steep or not? I have some 2 month old VC1 I can add it to, or start a fresh one…
@SessionDrummer, would that be standalone or in a mix? You would think flavours that had been around so long would have some good info, but I found Hangsen to be similar in the lack of notes.
Sure, go for it. I suggested plain custard so you’d get a better impression of the depth of the vanilla. If you’re very familiar with VC1 then you should be able to ascertain the VO effect.
