Thanks for the suggestions guys. First off, I like AP but I have learned I’m one of the Frito types, that is to say I can detect that corn chip vibe easily. That % is fine for me anyway. Salted Caramel is a build-burner and I taste it fine at the current %. I would think about bumping up the Kettle Corn. The Brown Sugar sort of has to stay at the same % too.
It does bring to mind the most frustrating aspect of DIY mixing- everyone is different. What works for me may not work for you, and vise versa. You guys look at the recipe and think “Why would you want to vape straight PG without flavor?” and I look at your suggestions like “Why would I want to vape corn chips?” Funny. And sad.
So @Sprkslfly has a good thing on his hands with his Butterscotch base. I’ve been working it up because I don’t want it as a stone; I want it as an ADV. The original recipe is good, make no mistake. But I understand why it is a stone rather than an ADV. It is rich and flavorful but it is just a little zing short of a finished recipe. (Remember, he never said it was a finished juice recipe. He said it is a base mix all along. So I’m not cutting it down or trying to be insulting at all).
So having finally bitten the bullet as it were, I finally discovered the beauty of the Stevia Stone. It is the sweetener I have been wishing I could find a sub for the dreaded Sucralose out there. I like it a lot but it is EVIL to cotton and coils so I have been without.
Anyway, now that Stevia has proven itself to me (great taste, nice pop, no negative effect on the build), I have incorporated it into a few juices. One of them was “Scotchie”. That is name I gave when I adapted Sparky’ base mix. Adding the Stevia has really made it into exactly what I was looking for. Not everyone likes Butterscotch so this isn’t for everyone. But if you like the Butterscotch disc candies you will probably like this. Really nice now. Rich, creamy, bright, smooth. And actually, with salt instead of freebase nic, very smooth.
Thanks for sharing the base Sparky. You saved me a lot of trial and error. And actually, this was the reason I got into Medicine Flower, so I have you to thank for that as well.
I haven’t been able to get it to work for me yet - I like the flavour off the shake but I did notice it all but disappeared - I haven’t gotten back to retest yet but I SF @ 2% so I may be a touch high (or maybe low).
I have this in my notes > Sweet apple with a hint of tart & possibly a pear as a back note I can see it working with other apples to modify but not as a solo
I do have to re visit it but just haven’t circled back around to it yet
That’s a pretty good description. Latest use I have for it is an apple ginger yogurt. Together (Thai Apple WF SC) and ginger (Ginger NF) they make for what reminds me of an apple juice, baked apple kind of hybrid that I personally like a lot. The yogurt I used in it has been the problem; it’s all but completely non-existent. FLV Greek Yogurt at 1.4%. Been disappointed with that one so far.
Try it at around .6 - .8 see if that plays for you - I don’t push that one too much (max I have tried is 1%) as the sour notes tend to dominate (i have not tried it at 1.4)
Ya, possibly it is pretty strong. You could keep it under .5 and boost a little with wf frozen yogurt (which has no frozen component) but is sweet & creamy and may fit the bill.
