HIC's LEMON MERINGUE PIE

[Semi Reduction]

Man I really wish I had more time to work on some of my own mixes. The problem is that between every concoction that I attempt to conjure up, I find myself trying out three or so HIC recipes. I was blown away by the Apple and Marzipan combo, now this Lemon Meringue has side tracked me further.
This is one of the truest representations of any pie type of flavour that I've encountered.

I'm not even gonna thank you HIC coz you're probably getting sick of it by now, and you're not helping my personal research either.

Bloody delicious though

Hopefully some can give you shortcuts for your own. The apple pie marzipan combo is really just a flavor pairing; try it as part of your own mixes.

Oh no doubt. Along with your notes they've had a great influence on my mixing, and it's improved dramatically as a result.
Much appreciated mate.

As for the apple tart, maybe I'll expand on it at some stage. For now I'm loving it too much to change a thing

As long as your talking about apple tart, I just got my Mama J order today...Apple Pie and marzipan, heck ya.

 

[Semi Reduction]

Yep frosted apple tart. Heck YES!

In a pinch, could I substitute FA Vienna Cream for FA Custard?

It would be a mellower overall flavor, because Custard includes lemon-vanilla, but it's the logical substitute if you have no Custard.

That can be said for your scone recipe. The texture of the scone really comes out in that recipe.
But what I did this time was combine this lemon meringue with the billberry/bb scone recipe and Ive been so impressed with it. Saying the recipe as depth is not enough lol. It literally has layers upon layers of flavor complexities.
Thank you sir for your awesomeness

Thanks for that combo idea. Did you do about half of each?

 

[Crago44]

Thanks for that combo idea. Did you do about half of each?

As you know they are surprisingly similar but I basically took the scone recipe and added
2% lemon Sicily
1% meringue
.5% bilberry
3% Blueberry fw
I'm debating on using a different blueberry and adding the apple pie.

 

[SteveMc]

Have been really busy but have finally got around to making this, absolutely delicious. Thanks HIC, I'm sure this will be the first of many.
14 mg nic, 70/30 VG high.

 

[Crago44]

Wrong reply

 

[Crago44]

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get a $12 scale? I would sure like to grab one

Who knew digi scales could be so cheap lol
I bought this one off amazon.

[Semi Reduction]

Second 30ml batch in effect. This time I'm dripping and added the optional 1% of Vienna Cream to the recipe. All VG apart from the concentrates and nic. Inhaling gold right now!

just ordered a set except for the fresh cream(out of stock) any who is there any recommendation substitute for the fresh cream?

Do you have CAP sweet cream? It's a bit sweeter, but I find it to be a nice sub,or you could even try it without and see.

Yes, thanks will try it first without it.

If I were out of Fresh Cream, I'd just leave it out and be sure to use the optional Vienna Cream. I looooove Vienna Cream!

HIC. Where's your elusive Lemon Custard Cardamom recipe?

 

[HeadInClouds]

HIC. Where's your elusive Lemon Custard Cardamom recipe?

I didn't think it was worthy of staying, just not "special" in any way. It was 2% Lemon Sicily, 1% Custard, 1% Cardamom, with optional additions of .5% Bilberry and/or Coconut. All FA.

Thanks HIC. I have Cardamom on the way and was doing some searching here and it seemed to be a hit with quite a few people. I'll give it a shot and if anything, use it as a steeping stone.

 

[HeadInClouds]

...a steeping stone.

 

[Squonk]

Wow. A cool mistake. I guess that just shows you where my heads at.

 

[roulettegrl67]

@HeadInClouds I can't wait to try this! I'm taking all your advice and starting simple and buying a few main basic flavors from Mama's. This is going to be my 1st flavor....not super simple, but I think I can do this!...lol I'll let you know how I do! Thanks again for your recipes! xxoo

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

I have to say, I am thrilled I found this thread. I have been trying some of your recipes @HeadInClouds and WOW. I even bought the Watermelon one and although I did not have 2 of the flavors ( those are on the way ) I improvised with 2 similar and I can only imagine how good this is going to be when I have all the correct flavors in hand. You sir, are amazing and thank you so very much.

I'm glad you found some to enjoy, and thank you back!

HIC, im wondering how you measure....by ml, weight or drops....i used drops...50 drops per ml from the 10ml fa bottles....i tried this recipe today but im not getting the lemon taste...im getting mostly the crust taste. The lemon sicily seems to be weak....but great recipe...thanks

I measure by volume, always. I've carefully calibrated my "mixing station" to do that very accurately using consistent, calibrated droppers. FA keeps changing the tips on their bottles, making "measuring with drops" right from the bottles more complicated. Be really sure to shake your flavors right before you use them! Lemon Sicily settles quickly into layers with very little flavor at the top of the bottle.

I have tried the drop method and my juice didn't come out right I then used syringes which work great until you have to keep washing them. Now I'm learning how to measure by weight. It's very easy unless your scale decides not to measure right I'm going to buy a new scale that is better. But HICS Lemon meringue pie is awesome along with the rest I have tried.

 

[marksfish59]

A quick shout out to Hic for his lemon meringue pie, in the last two weeks I have mixed 150 ml and have vaped most of it. the only words I can use to describe it are 'simply awesome'.

 

[SteppedOutOfTheSMOG]

I'm curious what everyone's doing with recipes like this now that FA's meringue tastes like it's been heavily toasted? I really want to try this but only have the newer FA meringue.

 

[Huckleberried]

You'll like this one still. It's quite delicious!

It does sound delicious... Ok I can't resist! Going to make some tonight.

Even to people who don't like the caramelized bit of FA Meringue (raising my hand here) - it is absolutely perfect here. Honest!

 

[marksfish59]

don't sit on the fence with this one just mix it, your taste buds will love you.

Well that seals it for me! Thanks HIC, I have it steeping now.

I look forward to enjoying FA meringue in a mix for once lol. Up until now, I have only stared at the bottle with a confused look of resentment thinking... what to do?

 

[Forth-Vapor]

Just tried this and it's great. I mixed up 9ml of flavour as per the complex recipes thread and did a 10ml tester batch at 10% flavour. Shake & vape and its excellent straight off the bat and I've got enough flavour mixed to mix up another 80ml

 

[SteppedOutOfTheSMOG]

I just very happily vaped through a tank of this today. While I'm not sure lemon meringue is a flavour for me personally, I was super impressed at how much this tasted exactly like lemon meringue pie.

I know, duh right, the clue is in the name. But so many recipes and vendor juices claiming to taste like some sort of food and then you vape it and get something that reminds you a little of the food it's supposed to taste like. Not this! Absolutely dead on, lemon meringue pie. Tasty, and a very impressive mix indeed.

That moment when you think you have every FA flavour there is and.... no anise!

Will have to pick some up next time. Thanks for pointing me to this recipe though, definitely seems like one I have to try.

May as well grab some FA cardamom while your at it. They are very unique flavors and will take some of your mixes to the next level. I've found to use them sparingly, around .5%, otherwise they can take over a mix if left to steep long.

Anyone up the percentages on this? If so how much and what did you think?

Also im waiting on flavors to come in and wondering if i should up percentages on HICs recipes i purchased.

Thanks in advance!

Plenty of flavor the way it's posted.

I have always made them to spec, and they have always come out perfectly. HIC know what he is doing, for sure!

 

[cogli0ne]

Yeah, there's really plenty of flavor.
I mostly do it at half strenght.

 

[MrInsanity18]

I have mine set at 5% Lemon Sicily and I actually had to up the Lime to 1% to make the Lemon stand out, but everyone's taste is different! Just keep experimenting with it till you find what works for you

I'm going to have to try this. I mixed the 9% flavor version as described by HIC and I can't taste any lemon!

I suspect something's odd with your flavoring if you can't taste 4% Lemon Sicily. Didja shake it? Does it taste okay standalone?

Yeah. Shook the hell out of all my flavors just before addition. Will have to try it by itself. Can kind of taste the lemon with my dropper at 85W but no lemon taste with both my tanks at approximately 40W.

I haven't read all 4 pages of posts yet, so I might find my answer there. However, was wondering if the flavors will fade with steeping? I'm loving this week one, but undecided on how much to make. Usually I'll make enough to last 2 months or so, but almost all my citrus vapes fade. Has anyone tried this after a month steep, and if so how does it taste? Right now I'm making a 3-4 day supply at a time
Thank you so much HIC, for the time and effort you put into teaching us and sharing your knowledge and recipes. Your recipes make it much much easier to stay off the analogs for the new mixers and/or those that just want good juice and can't afford ready made juice!

Love that lemon meringue pie, one of my faves! But I will have to say that in my experience with this one, small batches are best. I did mix a much larger quantity after the first time I tried it because I fell in love with it. But the lemon did begin to fade after a week or so. You can always add more, but I just prefer that fresh lemon taste the first day or so after it's made.
