HIC's Mixes: DIY recipes store

[HeadInClouds]

Earlier today I sent an email to all who bought HIC's Dulce de Leche Churros through my store.
In that email is a link to get this reformulated recipe free.

If you bought that recipe but opted out of updates or used a temporary email address, you won't get my email. In that case (check your spam folder and then) PM me here or email me at the store & I'll get you straightened out!


HIC's Churros

"Two recipes are included. Cinnamon Churros are popular Mexican treats - fluffy, fried sweet dough sprinkled in cinnamon sugar - similar to cinnamon donuts. Dulce de Leche Churros dips them in a rich caramel sauce. Note: these recipes replace one previously listed as "Dulce de Leche Churros"; these two recipes are complete reformulations to take advantage of FlavourArt's new Zeppola flavoring. These recipes use only diketone-free FlavourArt flavorings, including Zeppola."

HIC, thanks a million for this. I should be able to get to it tomorrow. They look fantastic.

 

[Heartsdelight]

You are wonderful! Thanks so much!

 

[Heartsdelight]

Just mixed up 30mls of the new Dulce de Leche Churros. Can't wait to try it! Gotta wait the recommended 2 days.

Look at the bright side...it makes you feel like a kid again, waiting for your birthday or Christmas.

@HeadInClouds do you have a predominantly coconut recipe?

I looked on your site but didn't see anything. I'd like to make something with FA coconut with possibly some cream or vanilla. The last couple tries have been epic failures. Seems like the coconut flavor gets lost in my attempts.

Gooey Coconut Cookies (under Candy & Cookies) and Bora-Bora Collection (under Tobacco) are both strongly coconut. It's one of my favorite FA flavors, so it's a supporting or accent flavor in lots of others. Oh - and COVA Custard (under Creamy)! Look up a recipe for 1970-something "impossible coconut pie" - that's what it tastes like.

Thanks HIC, I bought your bilberry coconut recipe, I'll get this one to when I get home.

Yeap the Dulce de Leche Churros with the addiction of Zeppola is delicious!!!! Much closer to actual Churros. If you have it I would highly suggest you trying with Flavorah Rich Cinnamon (at a much lower percentage, maybe 1/3 of the original).

Is the Flavorah spicier than FA? I ask because I also made this recipe at the original % and I got very little cinnamon. I then added more to double it up and still get little. It could be because my ADV for the last 5 days has been a Cinnabun I made using CAP CDS, so maybe I've developed a tolerance towards cinnamon.

It definitely is way more potent, sweeter and very well suited for bakery mixes.

Nicely done HIC!! I mixed up a bottle of your Cinnamon Churros! And I even waited 2 entire long days! I was amazed due to the fact of trying Zeppola standalone and not truly caring much for it. I haven't tried all of your recipes, but many and this along with your lemon pudding cake are my favorites. Thank You so much!!

You don't need the flavorah Rich Cinnamon for this, it was just a suggestion to try it instea& of using FA!

Reminds me of mixing cinnamon and sugar together. Or a sugar coated cereal without the cereal.

The Lemon Pudding Cake is also my favorite. I can vape that all day.

I don't get much cinnamon taste, even after doubling it. I need to crank it to 11.

 

[HeadInClouds]

I don't get much cinnamon taste, even after doubling it. I need to crank it to 11.

One of my first successful DIYs was TFA Cinnamon Red Hot as a single flavor. I'd use a lip-blistering 12-15%, loved it like that. I can't vape it that strong without hacking up a lung now, but I still use it. A couple years ago I wrote about using it along with FA Cinn Ceylon. Maybe I should expand this old article to include Flavorah. For ease of use, making a bottle of flavoring diluted to a similar strength as your other flavorings is a good idea, like the 10% dilution I keep handy for FA Honey. Anyway...this was my cinnamon article 2 years ago:

From FA Cinnamon Ceylon? Are you shaking the flavor bottle real good before you add the flavor? There have been times I've forgotten and need to shake it and add more. I can't recall the amount in the Dulce de Leche, but I tasted it well in the Cinnamon Churro recipe. People say Flavorah rich cinnamon is more potent, which I agree, but I use more than most. Some say a drop in 30 ml of Flavorah rich Cinnamon is plenty. I can easily use 2 drops in 9 or 12 ml. In a recipe.

 

[bobnat]

Thanks a million for that. I'll add TFA Cinnamon Red Hot to my shopping list.

The Master Tip pleased me. I've been working on a Cinnabun recipe for some time and last week I added .5 Joy and .5 Almond, bringing the total up to 13.75%. That brought it all together and I'm so very happy with it. I've been vaping it all day for 5 days now, something I've never done before. My initial reaction to Joy was very negative, but now that I understand what it does it's fantastic.

Over the past 4 months of DIY, I feel like I"m making progress. I have a better understanding of what I really do and don't like. I'm still making a shitload of recipes out of curiosity, but I find myself coming back to the same profiles over and over.

Yep, I shake the hell out of everything. In the Churro recipe I get mainly sweet with very little spice. I like the bite of cinnamon.

Then you are going to seriously love the red hots. When I first started vaping over analogue cigarettes I think I vaped at least 7-10% TFA red hots sometimes adding something sweet with it. You will definitely get your bite with it!!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. It's by far my favorite flavor at this time.

 

[soulseek]

HIC do you have any experience with FA's floral flavours? I've recently tried TFA Honeysuckle, which everyone is talking about and it's as good as they say it is!
I'm keen to try FA's floral flavours as well as CAP hibiscus, which is apparently really good. Floral flavours seem to be good on their own with a little cream or as an accent to fruit mixes. Definitely good ADVs since they're light and aromatic.
They should pair really well with FA's upcoming releases (2 oranges and a lime), which apparently are also a big hit like Zeppola

I like FA Jasmine, usually with Black Tea. It's in one of my store recipes (Valencia Cooler).

Now and then I can vape FA Lavender with tea and lemon, but only because I tried a real tea I liked that included lavender. Before that, I pretty much gagged vaping it. lol

FA Rose is sweet, with a little citrus bit to it, and I've found a very occasional use for that.

FA Violet is one I actually like a lot, just because I like those violet-flavored candies.

It took me a long time to work up to floral flavors. FA did great renditions of them all; I'm just not a huge fan of strongly floral vapes.

I don't know if you'd include Bergamot as a floral, but that's one I definitely enjoy & use often. Of course it's the right one for Earl Grey tea, but I like it with other citrus flavors for an aromatic citrus with a little bitter bite.

Oh - FA Ylang-ylang... erggghh - I can't vape incense flavors. That one's in my reject bin.

(P.S. I thought those upcoming releases were supposed to be secret.)

P.P.S. TFA Honeysuckle & TFA Hibiscus both turn my stomach. Hats off to you for finding a way to enjoy those.

Oh man, that's a good one!

Oh man, that's a good one!

Mmm, need to put it on the list for tomorrow! Today was cranberry orange macaroons and a big honkin' bottle of orange cardamom bundt... Yowza!

cranberry orange macaroons

All day, everyday, since about 2 minutes after it got posted. Yep.

I also heard a rumor that they're releasing a yellow cake?

Orange (in general, not necessarily FA Orange specifically) is one of my favorite flavors to vape across all the basic categories (bakery, candy, fruity/juicy blends, boozy...) That's why my avatar is orange! They already have Orange, Mandarin, Bergamot -- but with 2 more, I figure FA will have the market cornered on orange-y flavorings. (Of course I'll make more orange-y recipes!)

May I ask, which orange you do prefer?

 

[HeadInClouds]

May I ask, which orange you do prefer?

It depends on what I'm making, but I often combine FA Orange/Mandarin and/or Bergamot to get the kind of orange I'm after. Little bits of other fruit flavors can contribute, too - like Lemon Sicily when Mandarin is involved, or a little FA Peach to sweeten a very orange-y recipe, or TFA Sweet and Tart for the impression of kiddy-candy. I don't vape just 1 plain orange flavor, if that's what you mean.

 

[Foggz]

Hic - I remember the orange tic tac recipe.. awesome! and FA's Bergamot for the Amaretto .. amazingly good stuff! And all the others!

You do do orange like voodoo!

Thanks for the heads up re the new flavors .. will be keeping an eye out for them!

FA's orange flavors combine so well. I think you mean Bergamot for Grand Marnier: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-grand-marnier-mousse.10296/. Ohh, I think I'll make a batch of that; I like to vape it with my morning coffee.

haha.... yes .. they were both so good I flipped them, dunno why except they are both alcohol's .. one always makes me think of the other.

Do any of you who like real pineapple find pineapple vapes revolting? If you do, have you ever used Inawera Cherimoya?

I successfully used it as a sub for pineapple (it tastes mostly like sweet pineapple) for someone who says FA and TFA Pineapple taste like <censored, lol>. I made this recipe http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-pom-pom.101581/ with Cherimoya in place of FA Pineapple and got thumbs-up. I'm wondering if others who can't stand vaping pineapple will have the same reaction. (I can't judge, because I like FA Pineapple - and Cherimoya, too!)

I'm finding that I don't like most fruits in ejuice, though I enjoy eating them, particularly pineapple. I'll put it on my shopping list.
