Chocolate sub ohm

[ScreamQueen]

Chocolate has a nasty tendency to scorch in sub ohm units, which is how I vape 90% of the time. Is there a good chocolate out there that has a higher heat resistance? I have a ton of choc based recipes rattling around in my head that I'd love to mix.

 

[BigNasty]

Maybe HIC will pop his head in and advise.
But like you I find chocolate is a scorch monkey and gunks the coils up uber fast.
But it also tastes off and shitty sub ohm.

 

[soulshine]

Yeah I agree, I love chocoalate vapes..but they play HELL on your coils. Can't go without my HIC's Cocoa Cookies though

 

[ScreamQueen]

Ugh, I know. I made a chocolate strawberry recipe with LA Chocolate, it smelled divine and tasted pretty good on a 1.8 coil, but when I switched up with a .3, it was like vaping a charred strawberry.

 

[soulshine]

Yeah, I guess I'm just lucky that I'm pretty easy to please..LOL I have some subohm tanks and a few drippers that I play with occasionally...but I'm happy as a clam between 1.2 and 1.5 at 12 - 15 watts. I didn't care about clouds when I was a smoker and I really could care less about them now..LOL Plus...when you build low..it really eats up the juice!

 

[NGAHaze]

I'm much like soulshine above in that I don't delve into subohm setups that often however, I was thinking that a temp controlled mod might be of some help in keeping chocolate vapes from scorching. I don't have one atm otherwise I'd test the theory but thought I'd mention it anyway.

 

[BigNasty]

FA coco is just fucking hideous in a sub ohm set up. If you were to chew on a piece of foil with your fillings while licking a nickel you might get sub ohm coco flavor.

I'm having the same problem with HIC's Swiss Bliss. My RDA's and my Billow tank are all running about .4. When I vape at anything over 20 watts, it starts to get funky. The problem is 20 watts doesn't do for me.

I think coco/chocolate are just not for anything below 1.0

 

[Tim Vatic]

Try Capella's dark double chocolate in a sub ohm setup. (....snicker.. No seriously, if you do be very careful and report your findings. lol.

Damn, I didn't consider this yet...I just got a TC set up a couple of days ago. I'll have to try out the test juice and see how it reacts, great idea!!

Holy shit, no FA Cocoa for me then. This is exactly why I'm glad this community is here, that was next on the list to try. Thanks Nasty!

Yeah, 20 is too low for me as well. We may be outta luck on the chocolates.

I recently vaped a (mainly) FA Tiramisu & raspberry recipe at .5 in a subtank and it was very nice--no scorching. Tiramisu is not just chocolate, but has a definite chocolate note, and is not bad on coils compared to any other chocolate flavors I've used.

What kind of percentages did you use?

I vape HIC's Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge on a .5 at around 20w and get nothing but fudgey goodness! But I do have chocolate juices that are unvapeable sub ohm, so I see where you're coming from.

I'll have to find the recipe and give it a try, I really need some chocolate vapes in my life . Thanks!

Damn, you're not getting any scorching with that. I wonder what it is about the Swiss Bliss? Have you tried his SB?

Yep, keep a bottle of the base mixed up. Just play with your wattage till you hit that "sweet spot". I was still on vivi novas and eGo batts the first time I tried it, so low ohms wasn't an issue, but I did have to adjust voltage. Seems like that one was good at around 3.2v, if I remember correctly.

 

[wllmc]

funny this comes up, want to know what fixes that ? Temp control and nickel wire. Ive been testing different things with temp control lately and Ive found I can crank up the temp and juels and been nice great tasting chocolate clouds. I vaped FA Cocoa at 2% and 420 degrees f at 50 juels and it wont scorch unless you chain vape and then when it really starts getting hot it scorches. but if you can pace yourself mmmmmmm its good . I dont normally vape at 50 juels but it wirks lol

Good news - I'll have to try it (but I chain vape, so everything gets really hot lol). You vaped the cocoa standalone?

lol want another tip. the mutation x rda's hold nickel wire awesome. Im running dual 30 gauge with no fancy ways of screwing it down. between the wife and I we have 3 different mutation versions and they all are great.

Do the same with his Home Vape Cheesecake, it's pretty multifaceted too.

I just bought an Evic VTa few days ago, I'll have to try out the chocolate that I currently have and see if I can find that sweet spot.

cool ! Im interested to see what others are experiencing with nickel and temp control mods.

Im liking cocoa around 350-400 degrees f and then adjust the power from there. its still better lower but makes a cooler vape in turn making it possible to turn it up a little higher

 

[toleary1988]

I vape HIC'S STRAWBERRY malt on a .38 ohm dual coil in my mutation xV4 on about 60-65 watts and haven't had a problem with the FA Cocoa and FA Chocolate

 

[Mattp169]

HIC's 3 milky musketers doesnt burn for me in my kanger subtank .5 at 24watts,

 

[Steamin Demon]

Agreed. This is exactly how I vape a lot of the time and have had no problems with FA chocolates, or hangsen Australian chocolate. And no temp control. With several different mods.
Maybe this is a sweet spot!
I do admit now that I have a tc mod I use it whenever I have the right coils handy.

Titanium wire fixes that... Just don't anneal it.

Agreed! I'm switching all my Ni builds over to Ti - mainly because it's so much easier to work with and maintain!

Looks like I got some studying to do. I don't even know what anneal means.

I mixed up a swiss bliss concentrate an dmy first use being lazy was to use it in the HIC coconut musketeers recipe. Using my Innokin Exthermal dripper had no problems with the recipe flavour @ 45-50watts (very nice recipe it is too). However the last part of the bottle of musketeers I used in a derringer and it tasted funky pretty quick gunking the cotton as well, ironically that was @ 28-32watts as well.

I have since used swiss bliss in a chocolate donut recipe I made and the chocolate tastes absolutely divine in the donut, very very sweet but very nice. And that was vaping 48-55watts.

So personally I don’t think its just the temperature it may well be the airflow especially in the chamber. I experienced similar things with UK vendors chocolate recipes….basically get yourself an exthermal for chocolate to drip with

 

[Willbo]

I used:

1% FA Tiramisu
3% FA Raspberry
1% FA Fresh Cream
1% FA Vanilla Classic

I tried HICs Xtra Creamy Tiramisu as one of my first DIY recipes on here but upped everything to 1.25%. Was very nice but tiramisu a little strong. I saw a recipe on a cookery site Im on (purely for vape inspirations) had a raspberry and white chocolate tiramisu recipe I fancied trying to adapt in to HICs.....you have virtually done it for me I dont have white chocolate but am soon ordering some for this and a couple of other ideas. Cant remember if it is Capella or TPA or if they both do one. Would anybody recommend a brands white chocolate and what percentage would you put into this recipe lirruping yourself?

 

[NGAHaze]

TFA White Chocolate is pretty good when not used as a dominant flavor although I'm pretty sure it has some of the bad stuff in it so if using, consider doing so sparingly.

 

[Willbo]

Thanks. Want to try it in a couple of things its just awkward guesswork adding capella or TFA to FA. I would just do 1% if it was FA but what with the tiramisu being strong and being a different brand 2-2.5-3%?

 

[NGAHaze]

I think you would be fine starting at 3% ... I've seen it used at higher percentages but that is where I would start.

 

[Cramptholomew]

Torching it to get the spring out.

 

[lirruping]

@Willbo, I would take NGA's advice on the white chocolate. I have a 30ml bottle that I bought in one of my first orders and i've never used it, partly because of the diketones NGA alluded to. It's definitely got them. I'm sure I'll get around to trying it in something--probably sooner than later now that you reminded me it's sitting here (thanks). I don't know anything from experience, but in the clone thread here on VU I found several recipes that call for 2%. (If you have trouble finding them msg me).

 

[Willbo]

Thanks lirruping, 2% will be the one......though its one on the backburner upon when I decide whether to go all guns blazing and try and turn it into raspberry and white chocolate tiramisu cheesecake

I've made quite a few recipes with chocolate and vape them on coils under 0.2 ohms.
HIC's Strawberry Malt
HIC's Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge
My own attempt at a chocolate danish
A homemade chocolate strawberry
Currently vaping FW Chocolate Fudge @ 5%

At 75 watts on a 0.14 / 0.12 coil they taste great.
But I have found that increasing the wattage much higher then that seems to result in a muted flavor.

This makes me hopeful. I've been a bit hesitant to spend time and money on something that I initially thought was likely to fail, so I'm glad to hear you've had success at such low resistance. What chocolate do you use for your chocolate strawberry? I have one of my own that's in limbo right now.

Current recipe is
FA Marshmallow 2%
FA Strawberry 1.5%
FA Cookie 1.5%
FA Cocoa 1%
FA Vanilla Tahiti 1%
FA Chocolate 0.5%
