DIY Nonna's Grove ejuice recipe :: e-Liquid Calculator

Dan, I found your recipe quite by accident. You have a real gem if you only make two adjustments. 1. Drop the percentage of FA Hazelnut to .15%. Anything higher makes it bitter and overpowering. 2. Lower the Torrone to between .20-.50%. Like Hazelnut, It's a potent flavor and will take over a mix if you aren't careful. Do those two things, and I'd be willing to bet your recipe will be awesome!
Hope that helps!

@Chapel ya your right, I dropped both of those in my notes but never made it to the recipe. Iv'e been making a lot of recipes lately and totally forgot about this one. Ya the FA Hazelnut is way strong no doubt. I don't normally mix with it, but I wanted to keep the recipe all FA.Anywho, thanks for your input.

Funniest thing just happened! At a doctor's office and the Next patient called was Nona Grove! I was Dying! 😂😂😂
Maybe it is a sign I ought to mix this!

OMG thats crazy, lol. I think I will mix it also.

@Chapel, hey bro, I forgot that I traded Nona's Cake for FA's Cookie. Do you think it will work in this recipe? If so, what % do you think would work?

#7 by Chapel, Oct 8. 2017, 19:44

Yes, Dan, It will definitely work! Keep it at the same percentage!

#8 by Dan the Man, Oct 8. 2017, 23:22

Awesome. Sorry I assumed you were a bro. Now I am assuming you are not.

#9 by Chapel, Oct 11. 2017, 01:30

LoL, No, not a guy, but my daughter calls everyone bro....so it's cool. 😜

#10 by Chapel, Oct 28. 2017, 04:06

This. Is. Delicious!!! Cracked it open for the first time tonight after a 16 day steep, and I am super impressed! Really Really Good! Thank you! ❤️

#11 by Dan the Man, Oct 29. 2017, 02:50

Glad you like it. I do too. I had to make more because the little tester didn't make it far :)

I am so glad you like it. It has a special something that makes you want to vape it.

I mixed this earlier today, as a snv its not bad, how long do u recommend steeping?
I subbed nonnas for 3% Cookie FA like u suggested as I dont have that one yet but everything else is the same.
For my taste I think it would be even better with a touch more meringue or adding a little marshmallow or similar but it will probably change with a couple week steep.

#17 by Dan the Man, Sep 15. 2019, 15:45

I would say anywhere from 14 to 21 days and if you think it would be better for your taste buds with more Meringue and or you want some Marshmallow, then I say go for it. I am definitely not one of those mixers that say's "you can't change anything or you can change stuff but it just won't be the same". If you were a new mixer I would have some advice thrown in but I am sure you already know that it might change the taste but it won't change the "profile". Besides, I think your right. It could profit with a touch more Meringue. Anywho, I hope you come back and let us know what you did and if it worked out for you. Maybe you could rate it? Not that it's a big deal but It WOULD be cool to have a recipe with 4 ratings even if one is mine. LOL 😊👍

Hope you enjoy.
PEACE

Awesome I probably wont try anything until its steeped and go from there, I really dont understand mixers like that as everyone's taste buds are different!
That's it I just prefer that little bit sweater side of vapes, even something like 2% fa premium custard would probably work in here too.
I will do my best to remember to let u know if I make some changes and if it turns out any good or not. I appreciate the reply hopefully the rating works.

#19 by Dan the Man, Sep 15. 2019, 16:31

It could for sure benefit from some premium custard. I only recently picked some up and it's going into almost all of my new custard recipes. I like it best with 2.5% INW. Custard and 1.65 FA Premium Custard. But like you said everybody's taste buds a different.

If you like the sweeter side of things, have you tried Sugar Daddy regular sweetener? It's really quite good and doesn't gunk coils as bad as the other sweeteners.

#20 by Dan the Man, Sep 15. 2019, 19:15

Oh, you did it! I hope you like it, otherwise, you'll have to go back and mark it down. 😁✌👀

#21 by Jamie_M, Sep 16. 2019, 04:09

Premium custard is so good isnt it, I dont have inw custard yet but plan to grab some in the future.

No I haven't tried it I usually just use a bit of supersweet, sounds like I should try it.
If I dont mind something snv I will usually like it more once it steeps!

Hi! Would FW hazelnut do instead of FA?

#23 by Dan the Man, Dec 16. 2020, 18:09

@kamanza Hi to you too! Yes, indeed FW hazelnut will indeed work here. I would probably use it at 1 to 1.5 percent starting. If you really want to taste it I would bring it to 2 and then from there you can do whatever you need to. FW Hazelnut is my favorite and I would have used it here but I wanted to keep it all FA. Good luck.

#24 by kamanza, Jul 19. 2021, 21:27

Mixed it with Cookie instead of Nonna's & FW Hazelnut & it did not impress at first, but gradually it grew on me & now it is an every day vape. 5 stars.
BTW is Sugsr Daddy you were talking about a TBV flavor?

#25 by Dan the Man, Aug 31. 2021, 14:19

Hey there Kananza; I just got this message today on 8/31/2021 and it looks like you commented a month ago. Weird...

Anywho, yes, Sugar Daddy is a TBV flavor. It can be had at wizard labs and NomNomz out of the UK. I only know that because I went to find out but I don't know what TBV stands for, could you tell me?
