**Feel free to sub the TFA VBIC for the Hangsen French Vanilla Ice Cream @1% and bump the TFA Strawberry to 3% for a closer version now that the HS ingredient was discovered. That said, this recipe as written is still so damn close that change is minimal.**
Rose milk by Diy or Die was hands down the best S&C that I tried and I knew after my first 30ml concentrate was gone as fast as I got it...I had to try and nail this down. This isn't a 1:1 clone, but it's very close in profile IMO. If you like S&C, try this and you won't be disappointed. I also must stress you try the original for yourself... Enjoy!
Strawberry:
As soon as I tried RM, I recognized the strawberry profile. I vaped My Dude (Also DOD) for a long time and there was a similarity between these two. I feel RM was more "candied" so I toned back the TPA strawberry a bit to keep this in that realm of strawberry and I feel the 4:2 ratio is very close.
Ice Cream:
TFA VBIC is such a great vanilla ice cream, and for the ones that get a pepper taste I truly feel for you. It has such a rich creamy vanilla note that carries so well into vapor. It's a very satisfying mouth feel that fills this mix out. I settled on 2% only because I was trying to keep it from fighting with the cheesecake too much.
Cheesecake:
I love CAP NY cheesecake. It's the best offering and for this profile it works perfectly. It's a creamy, but not too pungent flavor that can be creamed up and sweetened easily with other dairy flavors. At higher percentages you can get that footy flavor that's more like an authentic cheesecake, but this is a Cheesecake Ice Cream so 4% with a bit of sweet cream to help bridge the creams together and a hint of CAP VC V1 to give it a bit of egg weight and that good heavy vanilla flavor...But not too much. I'm not certain sweet cream or VCV1 are in the original, it might only be French vanilla but this works very well. The crust was a bit hard to pin point. I went with GCC because it was more of the cereal graham cracker and matched this sweet dessert profile. My version with FW was really good too but I don't think it's in there, I get a certain note from that and I'm not picking it up in the original. I also tried just CAP sugar cookie but trying to keep the entire mix at 15% isn't possible going that route. Plus the GCC was honestly the best option by taste.
Summary:
The original RM is sugar lips sweet, but in a good way. It needs to be to match the profile correctly. I went with .5% SS which makes it pretty sweet, but I do believe the original might be a hair sweeter. I could absolutely be wrong and it's only .5% as well but it seems sweeter. Who knows, I could be wrong about all of this but let me just say this is damn good and matches the original profile pretty close to me. I suppose I could keep working on it and probably sort out if it's VCV1 or French vanilla, hone in the crust a bit better, and whatever else might be off a bit...But I don't need to. I'll never hit it exact (no one will) and this is awesome so wanted to share.
Im not sure if chefs will get this or not, it might be exclusive to ECX. Definitely pick up more CAP NY cheesecake, its very useful and very good. I'm glad you're enjoying this, I can't put it down myself
It's closer to the original with Strawberry, but it's still pretty good with ripe strawberry. I'm actually vaping a version like that now. The strawberry sweet is a must though. The Strawberry ripe version is just a little brighter. Either way it's going to be a great vape. Let me know what you think when you try it
Dude amazing recipe I'm trying the original later on but this recipe is amazing!!! So smooth and they layer great just as a shake and vape. Thanks sooo much!!!
I released this before the HS was identified. If you want this to be closer to Rose Milk, sub HS French vanilla ice cream 1% for the TFA and then bump the TFA Strawberry to 3%. However, if you mix it as I have it it's still very good and damn near spot on.
I still vape it all the time @Mcclurejacob so if you like strawberry and creams you have a good reason to have high hopes...it's very good and damn near identical to the original.
I hope you enjoy it as well @Geb
Good stuff!! Thanks man. I’m excited to see how close this is to the original if Wayne ever releases it. Still havent tried it but I’m loving this recipe.
I still buy Rose Milk when I order from ECX just to support Wayne, and I can tell you that this is probably around 95% when you make the recommended HS French vanilla ice cream sub
Funny thing happened that i mix 30ml of this put on hot bath. Then i vaped it tasted horrible. Just to found out it was the other bottle that i am experimenting with. When i got the right bottle, its like a little drops of heaven. Smooth and light vape at 6mg on a kayfun prime. Will try to subbed the strawberries with other fruits. Any suggestion peeps?
What kind of fruit are you looking for? I don't see any reason you couldn't use this cheesecake/ice cream base and throw a different fruit at it. You just have to be mindful that it's a dense cream base so lighter top note fruits might have trouble breaking through but I'm sure I can help you figure something out
i would just like to say , i have never had Rose Milk but this is the best S&C that i have ever had and i have tried very many i have been vaping for about 5 years now and have DIY for the most part of that. keep up the great work.
Your very welcome... actually made this with only half the sweetner and actually for the first time enjoy the sweeter taste in this mix, so I made another with full sweetner at 0.50 and it was better...
I have yet to make your custards u suggested to me on Facebook, but I am in a few days...(I just get so behind with countless recipes and cravings lol)... I will keep you.posted on them as well... thanks
Lol I have that recipe saved along with 2 others that use FA custard premium... I heard tons about it. I was going to order it last week (but got busy with putting 4th July orders together)... I'm going to order now lol... chefs is the only place that carries it right?
I looked all.over for it...couldnt find it... I though I saw it the other day (I have my cart with 3 of them in it and 1 devon cream 30ml) but I'm waiting until I find the sale...
I subbed the Graham cracker clear for fa cookie @ 1% (although I'm getting this crazy idea cap silverline biscuit might be a better sub?) and took the vbic down to 1% (not sure if it should be in there at all) and added cap sweet cream @ 2% (I think that's responsible for the tad extra sweetness you get Gachatay and it tastes pretty good, thanks for a cracking base to work from!
Just made my 3rd 120 of this. I enjoy it to the point im not wanting to set it down in order to try my other mixes. Thanks for sharing its much appreciated
Was this originally with shisha strawberry or am i confused? Im fairly certain i made roughly 500 + mls with shisha rather than tfa strawberry. i ran out and lucked across this recipe again but no shisha. same great flavor just made another 120 batch definitely my favorite all time juice. thanks for sharing this with us
Nope no shisha, it's always been TFA. Although I'm sure it would be nice with shisha, I enjoy that strawberry but for the profile I used that waxy note in TFA to help push the strawberry syrup style topping. I'm glad you enjoy it, this is still my favorite S&C to mix when I'm in the mood for that profile
Its my favorite by far between that and a couple i created i rarely vape anything else. i may have accidentally used shisha by mistake. glad i realized its tfa strawberry due to i ran out of shisha. looking forward to trying holiday pie once i put in another order
awesome recipe, 5 star for sure, cos i made your custard first, and that was amazing i went ahead and made 500ml of this a couple weeks ago, and its so good, thanks for another great recipe
Rose Milk has been my ADV for a few years, and ever since chefs closed I've been searching for the recipe.
Thank you so much for sharing this, ill be ordering what I need and will make this up...
