My first recipe

[Axe_DinGo]

Hi everyone, after some weeks of trials with recipes I finally made something that tastes good (at least for me).

I don't have a name yet since I don't think it's a sensational recipe and I'm pretty sure it needs some improvements.
I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Dingo's Triple A

FA Fuji 2%
FA Almond 2%
FA Anice 0.5%


Edit: Added recipe name. Lowered Anice to .5%


Variations: raise Anice to .75 or 1% if you want a fresh vape.
As suggested by user Daintanee you can also add 2% Cookie and 1% cherry.

Congratulations!
Working name suggestion = Fuji superstar sample 1
I am sure suggestions on how to improve the flavour will come but "Head in the Clouds" (hic) is good and maybe able to advise. So is Daintanee. Daintanee gave me the following links below which maybe helpful to you.
- hic as a store on gumroad which as free notes on all FA.
Goodluck

Ok. Regarding the both links (now deleted) cannot see where l have gone wrong so if you follow this link and look under Daintanee comments you should find a link ending with html and another hics thread they work.

FA Anice 1%

Looks good, but I'd lower the Anice to 0.5% as it's a pretty strong flavor IMO.
Well, unless you really like it up front that is...

You should also try some 2% Fuji + 2% Cookie.
Or even just add 2% Cookie to your recipe.

I can't remember who posted this before here, (Thanks!) but it was suggested when posting some links to drop the http:// part and starting with www. It's worked for me with several non-VU links. YMMV

Thank you Ron, that might explain what happened.

Also what does YMMV stand for?

haha.. right .. def a strong flavor .. altho... even tho I usually pass on the anisette re the expresso (real stuff, not vape) I do recall a few times where once you start just sipping the anisette ... you end up killing the bottle before you know it.. lol

Thank you again Ron.
The circus does come to my town, but the attraction is people doing acrobats etc, not animals. Sooo not PC these days in the UK.
Good quote, thus l have nothing to say because you quoted the word unbelief , but if he had said disbelief well.....

 

[Daintanee]

http://www.hicsmixes.com/notes-etc.html. Tahdah!!

I like the cookie idea heabob.

Also, Ron is right. Not all same advice works for everyone. Some of us taste things differently and some prefer certain flavors stronger or weaker than others. People can tweak recipes to their personal palette. A lot of trial and error. A learning process, but fun and enjoyable with the wonderful people here imo.

 

[gingerbread]

Tahear indeed. Just could not get mine to work! But will try Ron's method next time.

 

[Daintanee]

I just go to said site, copy and paste link and it works. Perhaps it depends on device one is using. No idea. Takes me forever to figure out technology.

Good idea. I just typed it in. Why didn"t l think of doing that,lol Next thing to learn is to upload pictures via VU tool or other method.

I don't know, I started with lower Anice but the flavor wasn't here. I like how I feel it at 1%. It's not really here until you exhale through nose. The first thing you feel is the warm vapor apple flavored, then you feel the Almond on the tongue and at last Anice while exhaling.

 

[Daintanee]

Well, I can do it from pics on my phone using taptalk. But when I copy a pic online from computer sometimes it's too big to insert. So, sometimes I can, sometimes not. I think, and I may b wrong, that you have to have the pic you want to paste to vu on your device to b able to insert it. I know some use photobucket, but I don't understand that. I need step by step visual instructions.

See, that is what I am saying...for instance heabob May get that sensation at .5% where you get it better at 1%. We are all a little different in how we taste, or what we prefer. Both Fuji and Anise are great flavors.

Thank you download the app.

I can't figure out how on my stupid smartphone. Lol.

 

[RonJS]

Next thing to learn is to upload pictures via VU tool or other method.

I use Google Chrome (desktop computer not phone) and next to the button called Post Reply is one called Upload a file.
click that
Up pops up something and click on Choose File.
Find the pic file you want to post and click it.
You should then see the thumb of that pic. with 2 choice buttons below where you type text for your post.
Move & click your cursor (mouse thingy) where you want the pic. to show up in your post.
Then click Full Image where those Choice buttons are.
When you are ready to post your message...click Post ( or mebbe Post Reply ) and...Vi-ola!

Sorry if I was too technical.

I turned off all notifications on taptalk so it doesn't bother me now. Easiest way to get here from phone.

Agreed. Do you use it to type?

You are very welcome!
I don't know how it may work with a phone; I've never tried it.

No it don't work on stupid smartphones that way. Mine is so stupidly smart I just stare at it sometimes bc I just can't figure it out. Yes I come here via taptalk on my phone and type. I'm usually not on taptalk and am on my kindle text type hitting the letters on the flat screen with one finger. I don't think I could go as fast on keyboard. I'm an odd duck.

I'm an old duck too! I will figure it out on Tapatalk. It cannot be that difficult. My Smart phone is just too handy to use my tablet or laptop instead.

I'd leave it also

I think I'll mix some up exactly as written and give her a try. Let you know what I think & taste.

I now know how to take pics etc with Tapatalk. Pleased you liked the typo

Great, let me know if you like it or how I can improve it.

Not too shabby! A bit too much anise for me personally. I added 2% FA Cookie and I liked it even better. Apple-Almond cookies= Yum, yum! I then went on to add 1% FA Cherry. I dunno why, but when I think of almonds I think of cherries. This is pretty good. The anise still shines through along with the Fuji and almond, but you may wish to try with .5% FA Cherry. Anyway, those are pretty good additions if you want to try something different to add or play with %'s. You could also try a little cinnamon if you want some spice or perhaps Catalan cream....maybe .5% of one or the other. Just thoughts swirling around in my head. I do like the 1% anise better with the cookie and cherry addition, but that is my personal palette.

Thank You Axe! I was looking for something different to vape on. The only other thing that comes to mind is perhaps for a bit of a tart effect you could try .5% FA Pomegranate.

 

[Daintanee]

I might play more with it later...I'm off to watch Robin Hood!! If you try any of above additions let me know what you think. Just bc I like it doesn't mean you will like it better, but it gives you ideas.

 

[RonJS]

I dunno why, but when I think of almonds I think of cherries.

It could be the pits...(the cherry ones )

"It’s a matter of crushing them–they give a similar flavor as almond extract.”
http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/article/how-to-use-stone-fruit-pits

"Peach, apricot, cherry and plum pits all contain a delicious little almond-flavored kernel inside their hard shells. The French pitch the pits and keep the kernel, calling it noyau. They use it to make all kinds of super tasty things like marzipan, amaretto and (surprise) almond extract."

Thanks for the advices, I'll try some variations these days and eventually update the original post.

 

[Daintanee]

Oh me! I just mixed up another 12 ml of your Fuji/Almond/Anise @ your posted %'s with 2% Cookie & 1% Cherry. This is so good. It would have never occurred to me to mix the first 3 flavors together. I'm really enjoying this. TY so much. I'm putting in my recipe notebook labeling it "Axe_DinGo's "AAA" Cookies"! Triple A's for Apple Almond Anise!!

Dingo's Triple A

FA Fuji 2%
FA Almond 2%
FA Anice 0.5%


Edit: Added recipe name. Lowered Anice to .5%


Variations: raise Anice to .75 or 1% if you want a fresh vape.
As suggested by user Daintanee you can also add 2% Cookie and 1% cherry.

Yay you!! Love the name! I'm vaping some now! Very rich and creamy!
