HIC's CREAMY STRAWBERRY MALT+

[zaroba]

Made a small bottle of this to sample it. Tasted great.

Decided to make a 240ml of it.
Accidentally swapped the percentages for Cocoa and Chocolate.
Still tastes pretty good

I've had this one on my "mix it" list for awhile now and finally got to do it this morning. It's very good, but all I taste is the chocolate, hardly any strawberry. I vaped it in my sub tank, on the Sigelei, tried settings from 20-25w and still not tasting strawberry. What did I do wrong?

 

[Tcar]

Did you shake the ever living crap out of the strawberry? FA strawberry needs to be shaken HARD before use.

I shake the crap out of all my flavors before use, that's rule #1 in HIC's "Mixing School"......lol!

 

[Tcar]

Well, for what it's worth I used a mix of FA strawberry and INW strawberry. Don't have my notes here at work but I think it was 1.5 or 2% each.

Gonna have to boost it with something. Or cut the chocolate. It is a good chocolate malt though.

Mine took about a week for the strawberry to show. After that it didn't last long. Delish!

 

[Zortec2112]

Ha! You have the same "weirdo" tastebuds as me! Everyone else I let try it tastes strawberry right away, and taste it strongly. Sometimes I taste strawberry, sometimes I don't (at least not very much). I still love it though! Next time I mix I'll probably add just a little more strawberry. It does seem that different flavors come through each time I vape it, which is super cool!

I mixed this recipe over a month ago and when I vaped it, my impression was the same as yours. So I didn't vape it anymore for at least a couple of weeks. Tried it again and it was even more chocolate malty like than when I had first tried it, but also had a nutty flavor which must have been the AP coming through a little more. I even made a note in the recipe that it was chocolate malt tasting with nuts. I haven't tried it since, but just smelled it and I'm smelling a lot of nut in it now. I mixed it at 60VG/40PG 4mg VT (not throat hit VT) nic.

 

[Teresa P]

I do remember a chocolate covered strawberry juice I made a few months ago that took forever to steep. I kept it in the desk drawer and shook it daily, and couldn't even smell the strawberry ripe I'd used. Took about six weeks to get any sort of strawberry aroma, but when it reached its peak it was amazing! Wish I could find that recipe again.....lol!

 

[Foggz]

Just made this this week - excellent .. was waiting forever for meringue as I kept forgetting to order it.. finally got some in (thanks to MR wllmc [Mamaj's]!)
so made this up right away.. it's very nice fantastic flavor (thanks HIC!)

Ha! You have the same "weirdo" tastebuds as me! Everyone else I let try it tastes strawberry right away, and taste it strongly. Sometimes I taste strawberry, sometimes I don't (at least not very much). I still love it though!

This seems to be me also..
[altho my taster may still be broken a bit as i get a lot of flavors changing ie - wow thats great..next day.. wow where'd it go? Then usually returns later]

But strawberry seems to give me the most trouble as in never reaching saturation.

but also had a nutty flavor which must have been the AP coming through a little more.

Have to cut AP as it stands out to me lol - I generally cut to 50% or less for a first batch.

If you do find that recipe and don't mind sharing it, I'd love to give it a try

 

[Teresa P]

I most certainly will!

 

[KGuardian]

Me also... my taste buds seem to be able to taste AP really well or something and to me has a kind of dull/muted nut flavor. I guess I need to use smaller %'s in the future. I'm guessing not everybody tastes it like that and to others it adds a sweetness?

 

[Foggz]

I'm guessing not everybody tastes it like that and to others it adds a sweetness?

seems to be so .. I get the smell and taste of fritos .. others get sweet / nutty flavor ..

 

[Zortec2112]

Fortunately with AP I taste a nutty flavor. Now, the room where I keep my mixing supplies...different story. Smells like a corn chip factory! That room also happens to be my wife's jewelry "office". I can't believe she hasn't evicted me from there yet!

 

[HeadInClouds]

THAT is exactly the goal I had with this one. I like it when flavors alternate like that. Anyone not tasting one of the main flavors, of course add however-much is needed of whatever flavor isn't strong enough. We all seem to need different amounts when strawberry is involved.

 

[KGuardian]

Yes....unfortunately I am one of those that finds it hard to taste strawberry flavor in a juice mix depending on what all is in it.

 

[Jasonfox1988]

What difference does marshmallow or oba make?

 

[HeadInClouds]

What difference does marshmallow or oba make?

They're sweeteners and flavor blenders in this recipe, and essential for the malty bit.

I mean what difference would it make to use marshmallow and not the other?

Edit: as i have marshmallow but not oba and if oba would be better id rather order some lol

happy vaping

Either one's fine, really. Oba Oba ages to taste a little more malty in this recipe.

HIC's Creamy Strawberry Malt+ recipe: strawberry-vanilla ice cream, creamy chocolate milk, a swirl of malt, and a drizzle of caramel syrup. All in one tank!

2.5% FA Strawberry
1.5% FA Choc
1% FA Oba-Oba or 1% FA Marshmallow *
1% FA Vienna Cream
0.5% FA Fresh Cream
0.5% FA Cocoa
0.5% FA Caramel
0.5% FA Meringue (optional, but include it if you have it)
0.5% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine (available here)

* In a side-by-side vape, the Oba-Oba version of this recipe has a little deeper malty flavor to it. If you already have Oba-Oba I recommend it here, but Marshmallow also works just fine.

FA Strawberry is absolutely delicious in this malt! I think FA Cherry would also be good and intend to try that in a future batch.

P.S. My finished Strawberry Mocha Frappuccino recipe is at my store: https://gumroad.com/hic

Got around to making another of yours. I had to sub the oba with marshmellow and I left out the Meringue since don't have that til next order. This is so yummy. Thanks for the great recipe and sharing of them.

 

[-GR-]

I was able to mix this up this morning before going to work. Awesome recipe. I would love this without the strawberry also. I used Marshmallow because i don't have Oba. Thanks for the terrific recipe HIC.

 

[Jasonfox1988]

What difference does the Meringue make in this one?

 

[OhioRuss]

(If you use FA Honey, use an extremely light touch; it's very strong) I think the sweetener works well. Ethyl maltol ('cotton candy') did not work well for me,

You are not kidding on the honey. I substituted honey for EM in another recipe at a 1:1 ratio at 1% in a 10% flavor mix. This was of course before I read your notes on FA honey. OMG super strong on day 2 but mellowed a bit by day 4.

1 drop-o-honey (.25%) woulda been good in that little mistake.

nice!! that reminds me .. i had made this and put some aside a week or two ago... gonna go dig it up and see !!

dig it up? i can just imagine people making juices and burying them in the backyard to steep. Then spending hours trying to remember where they buried them.

Perhaps little tombstones to keep track of them all.

Just make sure the dog don't dig yhem up first

Hey....that's a cool idea! Or instead of a wine cellar, you could have a vape cellar....

Try torrone standalone first, 3% ish, then http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-mandarin-nut-torrone-orange-nut-nougat-candy.1825/
and/or http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-limoncello-torrone-parfait-lemon-liqueur-mousse.1839/

Nice i may mix some of this today i have the flavours now and im craving for a good strawberry! May i ask what ap is?

[Foggz]

0.5% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine (available here)

AP = the last ingredient for this recipe 'Acetyl Pyrazine'
some people smell / taste this as frito's or a 'sweet and/or nutty' taste - for me it's a very strong fritos smell so I try to 'sneak' up on it or use flavors that contain it in small amounts.

[outwest]

Thanks for the recipe! Made it yesterday. As a shake and vape, it was very chocolately. Now that it's sat for 16hrs, the strawberry is starting to come out and the chocolate has settled down.

Used the oba oba. Just happened to have it because of ordering it on a whim

 

[outwest]

When I mixed this, I made two batches. One as listed and one that substituted FW Fudge Brownie for the FA Choc & Cocoa (at same total %). Both were very nice. There's a slight difference in the taste, but very little.

 

[Hamajang]

Anyone with success adding 50% more flavoring ?

 

[Huckleberried]

Total??? Noooo, it would likely be unvapeable.

 

[gopher_byrd]

@Huckleberried I think he meant increasing the flavors by 50% ie multiply by 1.5 not 50% total flavor. @Hamajang try it. HIC always suggests that you can increase his recipes if you find them too light. Just keep the same proportions.

I did kinda have one of those, "oh duh..." moments after I posted, LMAO. Thank you for bringing that up. I bet you're right, too.

 

[AmandaD]

With HIC's recipes I often make a small amount of base in case I need to increase the total % of flavoring a little. For instance, if a recipe comes to 5% I frequently increase to 7-8%.

I'd just blame it on not enough coffee...
