HIC's Cherry Cola

[HeadInClouds]

This is really just a flavor pairing, but it's a very accurate cherry Coke flavor. Use twice as much FA Cola as FA Black Cherry. I like 3% Cola plus 1.5% Black Cherry. For stronger flavor, 4% Cola and 2% Black Cherry. You can add 0.5% TFA Koolada if you like a little coolness, like menthol without the flavor.

 

[chickenmonkey]

Made it and love it. Slightly more black cherry and a hint of koolada

 

[simartspoako]

as @chickenmonkey recommendation from my "all day" e liquid thread... I'll be trying this soon I as restock my supplies...

What would be the difference if I used TFA/CA flavors? FA is a hard find in my area and they don't do shipping... If it really worth it, I'll find time to have 2 hour ride to buy this

Fa all the way. Ecigexpress, pure vapes and bull city all ship. Where are you located?

This.
If in the EU I am sure FA is in a EU member state.

 

[chickenmonkey]

It is manufactured in Italy.

who are you ordering your TFA through?

 

[chickenmonkey]

That's really difficult. I expect shipping is alot. @HeadInClouds maybe able to help with alternative flavour brands.

FlavourArt does ship there. I made a cart with 6 bottles of flavoring and had it calculate shipping to Philippines. It showed 5 Euros for the shipping charge. If you're getting at least a couple of bottles, that seems pretty reasonable for your location.

Good no excuse to not order FA.

Its a local shop here... They repackage and sell TFA/CA and some china flavors from 5ml bottles to bulk size...

Thanks for checking and I might consider this option too... I just hope our customs will not meddle / tamper AGAIN with my package and charge me with additional taxes. argh!

Yes I have no excuses not to order... Hahaha

Honestly I would check ecigxpress for the ratings on FA

I'll taking your advise with this one and I am reading some review as of this post...

However it seems like they don't ship to the Philippines... argh!
I hate when online stores does that!

True can use it as a frame of reference.

(was really just a flavor pairing, not a recipe; now mentioned in my notes on FA black cherry and FA cola)

 

[DarkJester89]

Hey, how goes this recipe, still 4% cola and 2% black cherry? I've got this on order because of this post but I haven't seen much more in terms of reviews.

Make it, it's yummy!

 

[DarkJester89]

What pg/vg percentage do you recommend to try first? thanks for responding

 

[Teresa P]

I make most of mine 40/60, pg/vg, but higher vg would be okay. Just use your preference.

 

[DarkJester89]

Mine is 20/80 pg/vg I'm so excited

I dont have fa cola yet and my fa black cherry is almost gone(order already put in), can I sub fa cola for lb cola? If so, same percentage?

I'm drawing a blank on what "lb" brand might be, but none of the brands of cola-like flavors I've tried would be abbreviated that way, so it's sure one I can't advise on. I played with TFA and (I think it was FW) - but once I got FA Cola, I never saw need to use the other ones.

 

[Teresa P]

I think "lb" might be Liquid Barn?

 

[DarkJester89]

You guys are great and thanks HIC, I look forward to carrying on your cherry coke legacy haha

I felt the same with liquid barns, they actually did a great job with it, but I put in a order for FA cola when I get home. Thanks for the recipe!

 

[Skullzz]

Thanks for the recipe, I tried to make this once with different %'s and made some very nice diesel fuel! Will try the 4% and 2% now!

 

[DarkJester89]

Whats diesel fuel. Are you refeering to the color?

Hey head, do you have a recommendation for any dr pepper flavors?

 

[Howard Hughes]

I just made this about an hour ago (90VG/10PG). I used 4% FA Cola, 2% FA Black Cherry & .5% TFA Koolada. I've got a tankful going at 50w right now. As a shake & vape, it's pretty darn good! I'm glad I took the chance & made 30 ml. If I let it sit a week what can I expect? Will the flavor diminish, meld together better or what?
Thanks for posting this recipe.

Just wanted to say I made Wllmc's Dr Pepper (do a search here in the Recipe section) & it is great.
Nice to have both Cherry Cola & DP in the rotation together now.

That's definitely a good one! I make this one quite often.

Cola is a citrus-y flavor, and IMO all citrus tastes sharpest when fresh.

 

[DarkJester89]

just got my coke/black cherry fa in the vape mail today. so excited

 

[Howard Hughes]

Twenty days now since I made this & it is still really good.

 

[Angrygod50]

Just mixed up a bottle and it's cloudy ??? Looked closely at my brand new bottle of cola (TFA) from BCV and it's a bit cloudy but not as cloudy as the bottle I mixed. Is it just my bottle (bad bottle) or is this how it looks.... Maybe a stupid question but.....

I don't know about TFA as I used all FA, but mine is pretty clear.

 

[naj18]

For the gassy effect, what do you guys recommend? champagne perhaps?

 

[KingPin!]

I put in some TFA Koolada in this don't need a lot though 0.5% at most gave it that fizzy effect without modifying the flavour makes my tongue tingle

 

[Just Frank]

I will make this after my next order.

I have to wonder tho....cherry -7up? Anybody try that one?

 

[XaveMyBru]

Hey HIC's! Made this and it is bomb! I wanna know, I have a bit of FA Lime Cold Press lying around. If I wanna make a Cherry Lime Cola, how much Lime do you reckon I should add? Is the Lime CP fine to use?

I don't think I've had a Cherry Lime Coke, but my instinct would be to use FA Lime Distilled Tahiti for that. Lime CP will taste like you added fresh lime juice to a Cherry Coke. If that's what you're after, add 1%. If that's too limey - let it sit a day or two (Lime CP will mellow fairly quickly).

Thanks for the reply sir!

Now, this is a funny one. Mixed up your original recipe and gave the mix to a friend in need. He told me this morning that it tastes like bath soap. It’s been steeping for about a week. Any idea what that might be?

I'm thinking he needs to check his coil(s), his wattage, his device, or maybe he's vaping this through a tank that's had a previous juice in it that may not mix well with this one - because this mix does NOT taste like dish soap. He may even have an aversion to certain flavors, I dunno.

Exactly what I said. I vaped a tank of this mix and I tasted fantastic. Then I gave the rest of the mix to my friend as he was in need. Now I kinda feel that he is just being full of crap.

Unfortunately, some people get defensive over the fact that you've made something or done something that they can't or won't do. It's petty. Just make that delicious cola and enjoy it all yourself.

DAMN! Its taste exactly like cherry coke ! But its extremly harsh for me ! I mixed it with 3mg nic and 70vg/30pg also tried max vg but i cant come around with ! I tried 2 different batches and let it steep 2 weeks (one with nic one without) its extremly harsh cant vape it - taste is good !!

Can i calm it down with anything ?

If you think less-strong flavoring might be better, you can add more PG/VG to the mix you've already made. Or mix a weaker batch.
If that doesn't do it, don't toss it. Instead, try adding some of your favorite creamy vanilla for a Cherry Coke float flavor. You could use FA Vienna Cream for that if you have it, probably 2% or less.
