I mixed this up yesterday, and liked it so much, I thought to share. If you like FA flavors, you'll love this! I added the Biscuit simply because I've been looking for something simple to make with Biscuit, and walla! Perfect!

70/30 1.6 mg/ml
2% Catalan Cream
1% INW Biscuit
1% Fresh Cream

Shake and Vape. Better after 24hrs

This sounds great! Sadly I don't have Biscuit, and suggestions for a sub?

You could try 2-3% FA Cookie
Or 3-4% TFA Cheesecake Graham
Or 3-4% CAP Sugar Cookie v1

Not gonna be an exact match tho.

This sounds like a winner.

Trying this tonight. Have FA cookie, I'll use that in place of the biscut.

Ok, tried Cookie. Although it tastes great, I don't think it has the body that Biscuit seems to offer. Don't get me wrong, cookie is a great additive for many mixes, but biscuit seems the pull ahead in this one.

INW Biscuit should be in everybody's DIY arsenal. If you don't have it, you gotta get it.

Perhaps Nonna Cake. Nonna Cake is very sweet too, but may have flavors in it that might override the creaminess of Catalan Cream (if that makes any sense). Plus there is a certain vanilla note in this mix that I think Nonna Cake might interfere with.

It's good with Cookie too. Definitely better with Biscuit tho. Maybe needs a day to meld with the cookie. None the less, I can't put it down (with Biscuit). Maybe needs more like what Heabob said.

Looks like this will be a good base for other blends too.

The ratio is reversed. Cookie is stronger, biscuit is sweeter.

Biscuit seems stronger than Cookie to me but my bottle of Cookie is probably 2 years old.
I use up my Biscuit too fast for it to get old:D.
You can add some FA Zeppola if you want to make Cookie sweeter IMO.
At least it seems to make some things sweeter anyway.
Use too much and it's heading towards Doughnuts tho.
INW Biscuit still my favorite.
BTW JF Biscuit tastes like INW to me.

Zeppola, that's some great advise! I'm going to try that.

I tryed Cookie in various %'s, but just couldn't get it to where I wanted it. Seems a little dry either way.

I get a slight chocolate note as well in the origional mix. Very pleasant, and keeps me interested.

I was finally able to put it down, and get back to my Mothers Milk recipe. I love DIY

Sounds good, thanks for sharing. I'll try this the next time I mix.:ejuice::cloud:

any sub for the catalan cream?
In my opinion, no, because Catalan Cream is a concoction made by Flavour Art out of Italy, and is a Spanish cream, it is very unique.

I believe Catalan Cream to be a one of a kind flavor, consisting of many different notes. I think it would be very difficult to come up with a flavor that comes close to it.

See HIC's notes on this flavor. He describes it accurately IMO.

http://mamajsflavorshop.com/headinclouds-my-notes-on-flavor-descriptions/

I would be extremely surprised if someone came up with something close to it.

What does Zeppola taste like and why would it go well with this? I've been toying with trying it. This recipe sounds great-Catalan cream is one of my favorite flavours! Thanks!!!

Mixed this replacing Fresh Cream w/ .5%FA Marshmallow only because I wanted it fluffy and a little sweet. Great flavor!
Great work cdohner. Right up my alley.

Oh that's very interesting. I used Fresh Cream because it's not sweet, gives that dairy edge to it that I love so much. I was relying on the Catalan Cream to provide the sweetness. I wonder what'll happen if I add the Marshmallow to the blend.

Which leads me to ask (if I may), why take Fresh Cream out?

I replaced the fresh cream with marshmallow because I wanted more of a sweeter cookie vape. I am tempted to mix FA Torrone with Biscuit and forgo marshmallow.

Agreed, I just got Torrone last week for the first time and haven't gotten a chance to try it. So I think thats a great idea, and can't wait to try it. I don't think it's going to do anything to the Biscuit. It's prolly gonna be a great addition to it. Give it a nutty edge to the Biscuit. No doubt a winner. Can't wait!

BTW, I'm vaping what you mixed (with the Marshmallow) and it's still wonderful. It still has what I was gunning for and think we are onto something here.

It's good though right? It's amazing how two concentrates have so many flavor notes in it. Great ADV

Dude, tried Torrone and shaked and vaped. STELLAR

You need to come up with a name for it.

Mixed just like Catalan Dream, but Torrone instead of Fresh Cream

I may just add either the Fresh Cream or TFA Sweet Cream to see where it takes it

Maybe reverse the Cream with the Biscuit? Or 1.5% Biscuit and 1.5 Cream? Certainly worth playin around with.

Or maybe .5% Torrone? I did 1% and forgot you mixed 0.5% Marshmallow

I meant to try Torrone and got side tracked. I ended up mixing
Marzipan(FA) 1.5%
Biscuit(INW) 1.5%
Cherries(INW) 1%
Vanilla Classic(INW) .5%
Pretty tasty after a few days.

Anything wrong with adding FA Cherry?

Hey, I had this steeping for quite some time now, and wanted to let you know it is great!

I made a Unicorn Milk that I just cannot put down. Has everything I love in vaping, and has got to be the best ADV I've ever tried, and heard of. Every time I make some for someone, they are floored by the flavors. And although it is a shake-n-vape, after 2 weeks of lightless steeping, all the flavors get more intense.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, your recipes are pretty awesome!

By not posting that recipe, are you simply teasing the fans of Unicorn Milk? :D

I was looking for something to mix with my Catalan cream and found this. Mixed it up this morning and I’m vaping it now. Well done. It’s a very nice and smooth vape. I’d be interested to hear if anyone has any other recipes that use this.

I don't about all the different variations in the thread (might get to them), but I mixed the first recipe, and it's stellar! Just three flavors and 4% total. ADV potential for me. Catalan Cream is an underrated (and underused) flavor imo. Thanks op!

Whoah, wait was I supposed to post the unicorn milk recipe? I was going through the recipes and seen someone posted a comment here. Then scrolled through the comments, and somewhere along the line I missed this and the following. Sorry guys.

Unicorn milk is pretty public now. Mine is a perfected version of the leaked recipe. I think it's way better than the original all Capella recipe, but only those who love DIY and Unicorn milk would be interested in trying my version.

So what do you think some strawberry ripe 5% ? Maybe some vanilla at 1 % shisha ?
Well being that the creams are fairly low percentages, I'd start off low with the strawberry, like 1%, then 2%, then 3% and so on until you nail it.

I'm a fan of Strawberry Ripe, but a bigger fan of FA Strawberry Juicy. The Shisha gives me a play dough taste after a few clouds.

A rule of thumb:
You ruin it if you put too much, but you save it when you slowly add it in.

It's better to add a little at a time, because too much will force you to have to make more of what you started with before you added the flavor.

Good advice I will start off lower and see how it goes
