Waffle advice please ;-)

[ghostrider1971]

Good evening each,

Been having a second go at mixing :-)

Could you please give me some advice on using Capella waffle concentrate - smells fantastic but seems super potent and I reckon it could overpower things easily.

Appreciating all tastes are subjective, would this be a reasonable ratio to try?

Capella Custard V1 - 10%
Blueberry or strawberry - 5%
Waffle - 2%

I prefer strong flavours but don't want the waffle to "kill it" :-)

Thanks, as always.

Don't know if there's anything to give you some guidance on ELR Andy:

e-liquid-recipes.com/list?q=+waffle

I've only used TPA's and would certainly be using anything up to 8% of that, depending on what else I was combining it with - so I'd think you could possibly tweak that up a bit.

For my tastes, I'd probably go as a starting point:

12% VC
7% Strawberry ( not a fan of Blueberry )
3-4% Waffle

Be careful with blueberry as it's very overpowering.
Like Perpetua I'm not too keen

[decoy]

why am I thinking blue waffle

[jtc]

How about some maple syrup mmmm

I also notice a lot of recipes use Bavarian cream or the like. Does that make a big difference?

I'm looking to make a blueberry (or strawberry!) waffle custard

It's certainly a very useful and versatile flavour to always have in for me Andy.

Depends what ratio you use it at for the effect to be subtle or more noticeable - I quite enjoy it as a ' standalone ' as well.

I find CAP Waffle tastes very maple syrupy. If you were wanting a waffle flavour that actually is just a waffle, then maybe try Inawera if you can find it at a UK vendor? I've read it's a very realistic plain waffle without the maple note. Supposed to be uber strong/potent, even by INW standards.

This guy is very good at explaining flavours.
Might be worth checking his videos out

That's interesting as I like me some maple syrup.
Does the syrup overpower the waffle too much spacey? or is it well balanced, maybe a standalone flavour I could enjoy?

When i first started vaping i fell in love with Liberty Flights xo maple waffle (think they stopped making it quite a while back). So when i started diy i thought id try and make me a similar flavour. Bought couple of different maples to try, and also cap waffle. I just couldn't get it right at all. Always turned out like a weird curry smell/taste!! I gave up trying and still haven't gotten around to having another attempt!

This is a long winded way of saying i cant really remember what cap waffle tastes like stand alone, as my memory is tarnished by the curryness!! But the lick test of the concentrate gives me quite a maple taste

Thanks for reply spacey
Think I'll give it a miss after reading that

Perpetua - I tried the ratio you suggested a few days ago - even after 3 days it already tastes rather yummy - thank you very, very much :-)

Happy Days ghostrider1971!


Delighted it's going to be to your liking . . . . it's always a little nervy advising someone whose tastes you don't actually know.
