Perpetual check clone -barley (5 Checkers)

- Start date
I added catalan cream to my 2nd batch that i sweetened, so tasty!! i mixed up yet another batch and experimented a little with some other fruit flavors, key lime and raspberry and threw in some tart and sour flavor enhancer.. it has a bit of a zing to it, but still very vapeable. also adding some ethyl maltol makes it nice and smooth
got an email from natures flavors saying that the malt flavoring is out of stock, and they don't know when they will have it. So it looks like I'll be sticking with the sucralose for now. to a 30 ml batch i add .5% suralose and .25% ethyl maltol
Did anybody get to a final clone of perpetual check? I have been trying as well with flavors that I have and I'm on the right track but not there.
8% TFA Black Currant
4% CAP Fig
4% TFA Guava
4% FA Lemon Sicily
4% FA Cinnamon Ceylon
1.3% CAP Super Sweet
The touch of Guava feels like the right fruit scent to me. I'm not getting much lemon from the Lemon Sicily. I need to dial up the Cinnamon as the real version is much stronger cinnamon than this 4% mix. I tried 1% Catalan Cream and it tasted like the wrong direction. Also, how do you think Perpetual Check gets that beautiful golden yellow color? Mine is clear.

My mix gets a slight yellowish color from the brandy and catalan cream, i also add a bit of vanilla classic.. this is my recipe.. It's not quite perpetual check but it's a damn good vape

Nice I have the FA Brandy so ill try that tonight. Did you feel the Catalan Cream took you closer or further from the original recipe? In side by side vape 1% Catalan Cream seemed to add a new flavor not found in the original.
To me, I think the catalan cream adds a bit of a subtle smooth flavor, i can't pick it out by itself when vaping, but it does add a sort of nuance
The Brandy tastes like an ok addition, I can't really pick it out. %5 Cinnamon Ceylon is about the right amount of spice. I just dripped some of the real stuff and the cinnamon feels much fuller, maybe woody. And there is a tang and fullness that you can feel hitting your tongue that mine doesn't have. Maybe some red oak or malic acid? I Don't have enough experience to know so maybe I'll try both.
let us know what you come up with!! maybe try adding a drop or 2 of lorann tart and sour flavor enhancer?
Hmm I don't have that flavor enhancer, just malic acid. I'm waiting on a red hot candy flavor that might go well with the cinnamon Ceylon to broaden the cinnamon flavor. Wish I knew if Five Pawns used food coloring to get that yellow color but I haven't seen anything online on the subject.
I wouldn't think that they use dyes or coloring, i'm pretty sure they use naturally extracted ingredients for the most part
Correct. The higher the nicotine in perpetual check, the darker it is.The color is mainly the nicotine oxidizing! I'm sure they would never use food coloring
