This is an attempt at an Orange Crush soda flavor. I test flavors on a Velocity Clone RDA w/ Innokin Disruptor @ 0.34 Ohms, 50W, Dual Coil.
VERSION 1.0
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
V1.0 Percentages:
Cola (INAWERA) 0.5%
Cola - The Flavor/Perfumer's Apprentice 0.5%
Juicy Orange (CAP) 2%
Sweet Tangerine (CAP) 7%
Sweetener (Sucralose) (TPA) 1%
12/1/2015: Immediately after mixing and shaking, first smell makes it seem overpowered by Coke flavors, even though the two combined only comprise 1% of the total mix. Initial taste test after shake & vape leaves a lot to be desired. Will definitely require steeping to determine whether or not the flavor will come out in this mix. Might need some additional citric acid to help make the orange flavor *pop*...but time will tell.
12/3/2015: After 2 days of steeping, I think this flavor has probably reached its full potential, or at least very close to it. The orange flavors came out more strongly, but the coke flavor still dominates the recipe. The orange is there, but it is very faint. As a pure "coke" variant, it's not half bad, but I wasn't going for a coke variant. I was going for an Orange Crush flavor.
For further iterations, I will drop the coke flavors to 0.2% TFA Coke and 0.2% INW Coke. From there, I will make variations on the orange flavor. Most likely I'll make a mix as it is, but just reducing the cokes and making no other changes. In another revision, I'll add +1% FA Mandarin. In another, I'll add +1% FA Orange. In another, I'll add +1% FA Mandarin AND +1% FA Orange and see how it works between the different variations. I will also be dropping the sucralose entirely for now.
Final results for this variation...
Recipe Vapability: 6 out of 10
Recipe Accuracy: 2 out of 10
