Strange results

[jiggsbro]

Trying to make Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding, I mixed Croissant, Creamy Vanilla and Chocolate as a starting point.

It tastes of lemon.

Just lemon. No hint of any of the flavours that went into it, unless I accidentally used Lemon Croissant, Lemon Vanilla and Chocolate Lemon. It's not even a nice lemon, more a 'cheap lemonade' lemon.

With the other flavours I'm trying to develop, I can taste the trial batches and think "less cherry" or "more brandy" or something in the way of feedback for the next trial. This time, I've got nothing, except perhaps "give up on this recipe". Or maybe "rename it 'cheap lemonade'". Ah well...

Well don't ask me all I tried to do was mix a flavouring with 18mg base and that tasted rank

Oh, I'm not looking for answers. I just thought I'd salvage something from the disaster by providing a thread where people can point and laugh.

I like Karma have given up on trying to mix my own, it never turns out right.

Dunno mate - I'm still fumbling my way through all this mixology stuff myself.
I would suggest letting it steep
Also it might be better to make up the flavours separately and blend them to
get the right taste, then work backwards.

leave in dark place for 24hrs maybe?

less is more im beginning to find.....too much concentrate can clogg/impede the flavours

Tis been more than 24hrs for mine

I do think you're right, less is more, that just kind of goes against the grain for me! I've always been a more is more type of person

Chocolate bread and butter pudding shouldn't be eaten, let alone vaped

Only kidding

But I am with Karma, more is more, bung it all in is my impulsive nature

And I would never point a finger and laugh #icon_nono# at least your giving it a try, unlike me who, just buys everything that people say they like

[jiggsbro]

All mine get steeped for a week before I try them and nothing gets more than 5% flavour on the first trial. I think there's just some strange reaction between the flavours in this one. I guess I'll drop the chocolate for one trial and switch the creamy vanilla with plain cream for another. Although I'll probably just end up with two different lemons...

I can so relate to that sentiment Karma.

Dom's suggestion is a jolly good one . . . to make the flavours up seperately and then blend them, or make your pudding/cake/bread base up then add flavour from there Jigg.

I've found that the nicotine liquid does have an impact on the flavours, particularly the complex flavours, so I tend not to mix just flavour concentrates. But I suspect that in this case it will be worth doing a flavour mix to see if it is an inter-reaction of flavours, rather than a reaction of flavour with nicotine. I already have a bread base, but I think you're right; I should go back to basic bread and butter pudding before adding chocolate. Particularly if it's chocolate and vanilla that make lemon.

Maybe you should try to mix a lemon cheesecake flavour, with any luck that will taste like the choccy bread and butter pud

Out of interest, which flavouring are you using?

[jiggsbro]

A mixture. Heath Cabin, Totally Wicked Red Label and one from Liberty Flights that has no other branding on the bottle, but will have been a F'art or a TPA.

Ive been messing about with inawera and f'arts myself. I have had some success but one smells like cat`s urine (vapes ok though ).

Maybe try to eliminate some of the flavours as it sounds like a chemical reaction?
