Yeah, it should still be good. It'll be missing some dark sweetness, so it may be a little too bright from the Fuji. I would try dropping the Fuji to 3% and raise the Caramel to 1.75 to 2%.
Tried this but I find that even at .25% the honey is quite strong. I think honey just isn't my cup of tea. I'll try it with brown sugar and see if that works.
@NotCharlesManson I just made this flavor exactly to your recipe. I have to say you are a genius!!! What a great complex flavor and I'm still in shake and vape mode with it! One question: Can you tell me which flavor is giving off that almost spicy taste? I think it's the honey but I'm not sure but it give the juice a awesome kick!! Once again thanks for posting this, for sure a new ADV for me and I haven't even popped it in my USC yet!!!
Wow, thanks for the kind words! I'm thinking that's the caramel, honey, and meringue all playing with each other. I use that same combination and ratio in a bakery recipe and get the same "almost spiciness" feel.
Ok thanks that's good to know, I was thinking the same thing that taste would be good in other recipes. I did forget to mention that I made mine PG/VG 20/80. It was still very tasteful. Can't wait to see what it does after 2 hours in the ultrasonic. Thanks again! Will be trying more of your recipes for sure. Any favorites of you like the most other than this one?
Great mix, as usual... At first, the honey was way too prominent for me, but after steeping for a good few weeks this is pretty delicious. I think I might still drop the honey % down a tad though.
mx360, I use a lot of FA flavourings, and one thing I've learned is they do need a bit of time to settle in. They are strong flavours and need that time to beak in.
Thanks @NotCharlesManson this recipe is in my daily rotation! It's great. Thanks for your contribution to the community and thanks for introducing me to FA Honey. I love playing with it. Nothing to post yet. It's a tough nut to get right but that's part of the fun of DIY.
I will definitely say that it's complex and interesting. There is specific flavor that I really don't care for, and I think it might be the honey. I could have put a drop or two too much, but my friend really did enjoy the flavor. I'm also sensitive to certain flavors.
I didn't try this exact recipe, but I made a recipe based on it - only switched one flavor and adjusted some % - very tasty! I can tell that the original recipe would be equally tasty! :)
The tiny bit of honey really changes the flavor a lot - very nice!
