Smooth Creamy Almond

Damn you little Vixens for firing up my brain!Or an orange cookie?
I'm vaping this as I type this. It's a bit strong, from the TFA version, but I do really like it. Bilberry would work in here, too. Oh!! With the orange!! I know, I know... Mandarin. I remember.Damn you little Vixens for firing up my brain!
3% TFA Vanilla Swirl + 1-2% TFA/CAP Sweet Cream + 1% TFA Dairy Milk
3% TFA French Vanilla (Deluxe or Regular) + 2% TFA Dairy Milk
INW Almond should be pretty close to FA in strength IMO.
I have some
Mandarin(FA) 3.5%
VBIC(CAP) 5%
Vanilla Classic(FA) .5%
It's pretty good, but not as good as the others with 1% FA Fresh cream. Fresh cream seems to really help smooth and cream it up. One thing I noticed about FA citrus flavors is how the change after steeping. They seem to lose that nice clean freshness I like the first day or 2. Maybe it's just me.
No, not just you.
I've been finding myself leaning more towards CAPs lately. Hummm? CAPs Horchata ? Hummm? Horchata Ice cream Milk shake?
I think they must be paying attention. I'll admit I've purchased quite a few of theirs recently, where in the past, they were one of the last ones I looked at.

Is INW Almond close in flavor to FA Almond though?
Don't have the INW but FE is close in flavor to FA.
Doesn't your INW Almond taste like Almonds?
Because this recipe is also using Marzipan (Almonds), the secondary Almond should not be so critical IMO.
And you could also raise the Marzipan if needed.
Just in case you don't wanna wait for ordering the FA brand try it with what you have for now.

That's like adding pinia calota to your mix
How about tangerine ....yummy.lol
@Squonk. A while back I was playing around with Irish Cream, Almond and Coconut. After a bit of time what I ended up with was "chocolate cake batter" tasting vape, which I quite enjoyed. (You know, old school people always survived raw cake batter. We're tough!) I never once tasted the coconut, not from the beginning,the middle or the end. My next thought for your mix was Chocolate. No cocoa, unless you just had to add it for your taste.
Unfortunately chocolate and coffee vapes don't play well with me. I love anything chocolate or coffee other than vaping. I really wish it wasn't that way.
I really should add some Irish cream to my stash. Who makes a good one?

Oh most definitely FA is a good one. With that said, and in all fairness, I've not tried any others. It's a wonderful flavor!
I made the original recipe yesterday and trying to let it steep for 2 more days. The first day I vaped I wanted a recipe that tasted like a toasted almond ice cream bar. I am hoping this is it. If it is I will have a big smile on my face!

Have ya heard from Gopher dude?
Not a peep. I think he said February was when he'll be back and have more playtime.

I get a hint of Chocolate in FA Irish Cream but not with TFA, CAP, or FW.

Got home late last night. I'll put a fresh wick in one of my drippers and give it a shot in bit...
This was the trip from hell this week. Delayed flights, having to rebook because of missing connections... Got to my home airport at 5 am, didn't end up leaving until 12:30 pm on a different airline and finally got Ft. Lauderdale @ 11 pm and my hotel @12:30 am... Life on the road...

Of course you know that TSA stands for "Thousands Standing Around"...
I'm really loving this smooth almond you came up with @Squonk! This will be a mix again in a bigger bottle! Next to try is the Apple Cinnamon Danish I mixed up last weekend...
It's looking like Super Bowl weekend will be when I'll be over your way. I'll send you a PM when I get my reservations set...

I'm glad you like it. My son is in town this weekend and he kept hogging my set up loaded with this mix. I can't figure out how I go through so much juice and battery changes when he's around.
He did hook me up with a ton of music and brought me into the 20th century and showed me Bluetooth exist. He's one of those computer geniuses from Florida Polytechnic U.Definitely let me know when your going to be around my area.
Well, now I'm pissed....tip got stuck in the cap and before I realized it, half a freakin' bottle of fresh cream hits the cup and the scale....brand new bottle....
DAMN YOUR CURSE TERESA!!!!I was just mixing up a test batch of Horchata Cream Cookie and the lid plopped off my VG bottle. Needless to say, I had about a 1/2 cup all over my scale.
I hope it still works. I soaked it down with 91% rubbing alcohol and have it drying now. I'm so glad I didn't order the new scale I want a few weeks ago, otherwise......
I thought you'd get a kick out of that. I went ahead and ordered my new scale http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=A1DVPD9Q368DLM and a (hopefully) Non lid plopping bottle and some VG while I was at it from Amazon. The scale went up $5, but it would have been soaked in VG if I bought it a few weeks ago.
I just hope I have enough juice to get me by until it gets here.

Kitchen tip for your scales. Put a layer of plastic wrap over the "pan" on the scale. Keeps the risk of liquid damage (shock) to the scales at a minimum and won't mess with your readingsI thought you'd get a kick out of that.

This sounds fantastic. Just need to pick up some CAP Vanilla Bean Ice cream.... along with about 8 other flavors I "need". Golly, I have 200 flavors, and I'm almost always missing something when I come across a yummy sounding new recipe. Though, I might just sub the VBIC with some of the many creams and vanilla's I have...
I mixed up a test batch last night, and it tastes pretty damn good straight up, I can't wait to see how good it gets with some age. BTW, my wife said the vapor form this mix stinks to her. The CAP VBIC is the only new to me ingredient in this mix, so I assume it's coming from that? Has anyone else experienced this problem? I hope the smell goes away with some steeping as it's a delicious vape.
It could be the VBIC that vapes smelly, then again I never noticed. I'm glad you like it though. Thanks.
Oh, I love it, and the next time I vaped it the wife didn't complain so it's all good!
Now I want to try a Pralines & Cream Ice Cream.
Gonna make this one as I love almond!!!
I made this up four days ago & the only sub I had was for the CAP VBIC. I used TFA.
I have to say that already as I tried it this morning I was liking it. I know you said 7-10 days, but I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying it so far.
Thanks for sharing.

TFA VBIC doesn't really need to steep like CAP does IMO.
But it doesn't hurt either
Agreed!TFA VBIC doesn't really need to steep like CAP does IMO.
But it doesn't hurt either
I wanted to make the Coconut version @Squonk posted but I only have TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream do you guys think it would work?

They are pretty close, the TFA is slightly sweeter, use same percentages.
Thanks! It was 5% CAPS VBIC -1% FA Fresh Cream- 2.5% FA coconut.
It's delicious! Thanks @Squonk & no steeping it's great! I'm so happy that I found your recipes! I have a lot of TFA & Capella flavorings that I brought before finding HIC & FA that were just sitting in the fridge. Now I have an opportunity to use them!
Even though I'm using TFA Vanilla bean Ice Cream instead of Capella's it's just yummy! Thanks again @Squonk !

Thank you. I'm really glad you enjoy it. It will taste much better and creamier after 8-10 days.
Then I better make lots more, don't think It'll last 8 days & definitely not 10!
Thanks @Squonk you were right! Sooo smooth & Creamy after a week! Just made 60ml! Yum! Thanks so much! Now to look for your other recipes! Just mixed 60ml of your Sugar Cookie too!
