One Stop DIY Lucky Shot
mysticrosell
Percentage Used: 15%
Equipment Used: Troll RDA with a wickless single SS .8 ohm Clapton wrapped parallel with 26g SS at 19W and a Cleito .4 ohm Kanthal Clapton coil at 35W.
PG/VG: 30/70
Steep Time: 1-2 Months
Aroma: Graham, vanilla, cream, caramel.
Flavor Description: Tested 15% with a 1 month steep. I don't remember why, but I didn't like it at all, so I put it back in the steep drawer. At 2 months, it's very good, but way too rich for an ADV for my tastes. Graham cracker crust is very very dominant at this higher percentage, too much so, with a rich french vanilla cream drizzled with caramel? It's a nice moderately sweet blend, but the graham is very, very front and center. I am probably going to boost the cream in this. Wonderful thick buttery mouth feel. I like this a lot with the longer steep, and I think it's really needed due to the complexity of this flavor. I can already see this doing fantastic things in blends in the 1.5-5% range. Going to dilute the rest of this tester down to roughly equivalent to 10% and see what happens with it :) It's basically a rich french vanilla mousse pie with graham cracker crust and a touch of caramel.
Off Flavors: None really, but needs a long steep for the graham cracker to settle down.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Really good stand alone flavor. Berries and fleshy fruits. Bakeries, cookies, cakes, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, apple pie, cinnamon rolls/cinnamon maybe?
Notes: I think 10% is plenty for a SF, and I will probably use 1.5-5% in blends.
