Cranvilla Swirl

joeyboy · Aug 2, 2015

TFA Cranberry 1%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 3%
FA Vienna Cream 2%
FA Fresh Cream 1%
FA Vanilla Bourbon 1%

This is a subtle cranberry with rich vanilla in the background. If you exhale slowly it tastes like a cranberry ripple ice cream. This needs to steep at least one day. It is quite delightful, refreshing and not too sweet.

Vaped on a Veritas, 1.2 ohm at 22.5 watts.

I am looking for cranberry recipes, That sounds like a great one, any others with cranberry?

joeyboy · Aug 2, 2015

I have another I wrote but have not made to see if it works. It is a cranberry apple cake.

I can't wait to try tfa cranberry. The only one I have is FW and it's not so great. Kinda weird. I should know better than to buy FW fruits by now... I've done it several times, though, when the kind I want is out of stock :/

joeyboy · Aug 3, 2015

@lirruping I haven't tried FW but have you tried it with a little strawberry to see if that would help it?

That sounds amazing!!!!!!!!
I'd love a recipe for it

Cranberry is one of my favorite fruits to vape. I don't care for tfa tho. Capella is good, but diyflavorshack is the best to me. Cranberry and vanilla swirling is a great combo, i have similar recipe. I find cranberry goes well with bavarian cream also, even tho i dont care for bavarian cream too much. Thanks for sharing.

Just a heads up on TFA Cranberry, it has a ton of ethyl alcohol in the base so it will need some time to properly steeped if used at a higher percentage than 1-2% in a recipe.

Thanks for the info. Maybe that's what I was tasting right after I made it. I didn't it the next day or after.

joeyboy · Aug 4, 2015

I may try diyflavorshack cranberry to see how that is. Thanks for the tip. I do hate ordering ONE thing from a vender, though.

lirruping · Aug 4, 2015

I think they make a flavor called "holy vanilla" that a lot of people like. I haven't tried it, but have wished I had it for a few recipes. Wait, what am I thinking? I'm sure you don't need my help to rationalize additional flavor purchases! It seems to be a skill common among DIYers

Rationalize? I have to de-rationationalize then wish I had bought it.

I will try it this weekend.
The only thing is I only have FA apple. Ordered the wrong thing. Still going to attempt it. Getting Fuji on the next order.

If you like it with Apple, chances are it'll work out great with Fuji, too.

P.S. I really like your cat!

Yum!
Looks like a great recipe. Thanks for the share!!

I am doing an order today, thanks @lirruping, to get Fuji and a couple of others I think. I think I will wait into I get that to make it. I was going to use fa apple pie but don't think that will give what I am looking for.
He is a beautiful cat. Our "little" Mainecoon. He is about 20 lbs. A sweety. He was 13 lbs at 4 months.

I have several flavors from DIY Flavor Shack and cranberry is one of them, so I'll be trying this one, thanks! DIYFS's holy vanilla is wonderful, don't stop there! I LOVE their banana cream mixed with their Mr. Good Stuff, the creamiest, smoothest banana vape ever...their cheesecake is really good....cookie, English toffee, birthday cake, vanilla custard....only one that gave me fits was their blueberry. For some reason that one requires quite a bit of steeping to find its "sweet spot."

joeyboy · Aug 5, 2015

I saw all of them in the pic you posted. I am trying to stay away from diacetyl. I know holy vanilla has it, according to their site. I will look at the others.

I can't find fuji anywhere unless I get a 30 ml bottle. Don't think I need that much do apple pie it is for the test.

joeyboy · Aug 5, 2015

@Teresa P I was thinking about this recipe today after vaping it and wondering if adding a tad more cranberry with a touch if fa strawberry would be better. I only have cap ripe strawberry and fa. Don't care much for cap.

Teresa P · Aug 5, 2015

You'd be surprised at what just .25-.5% of strawberry can do....

Just ordered more stuff. Two from flavor shack and tfa ripe strawberry, among others. Can't wait to try flavor shack English toffee and cranberry.

joeyboy · Aug 5, 2015

I did order a large bottle of fuji. I guess I had to. I blame VU. Yeah, VU.

You've made them sound so good, now i'm really dying to try these. But wah hah.. I just blew my flavor wad for at least a few more months, though. Everyone feel sorry for me because 100+ flavors is not enough.

As I was ordering, my wife looked over and asked what I was doing. I said, ordering flavors. She thought I had enough. Shame on her.

Huckleberried · Aug 6, 2015

My boyfriend often asks me if my flavor box was that full the last time. I assure him it was.

itsmenotyou · Aug 6, 2015

Sounds like time to move past em lol. Tell em ill never have enough flavors and continue with your order (Ruined my relationship do NOT try at home) they won't mind

Huckleberried · Aug 6, 2015

That's so sad!!

itsmenotyou · Aug 6, 2015

To be fair it was doomed anyway so the flavor discussions didn't matter haha

Huckleberried · Aug 6, 2015

Aww man.. harsh. Your next chickie better be a DIYer. She'll totally get it.

itsmenotyou · Aug 6, 2015

Thats what I'm sayin haha. The ex liked the idea of diy and the "free" juice she got from it but hated that i spent my money on it and our house not every penny on her. Gotta love people.

The terms "enough" and "DIY" can never be used in the same sentence....lol!

I'm very fortunate to have a husband who says nary a word about anything I order, be it 20+ bottles of flavoring, liters of fluids, a new mod, tanks, or what have you. He's so tickled I've stopped smoking that the rest is gravy. He knows the bills are paid and all is well....
