Announcing............. Peanut Butter Sugar Cookie.. My first DIY recipe is born!

[CajunCloud]

This is my first recipe I feel worthy of posting for others to try since starting to DIY not long ago. I wasn't sure about the peanut butter but with the cookie and marshmallow it tastes mighty fine to me after only a short hot water bath and several shakes. I'll be making a 30ml bottle of this one soon!

I do everything by weight so if you want %'s break out your pencil.

TFA Peanut Butter .30g
CAP Sugar Cookie .21g
TFA Toasted Marshmallow .18g

30mg/ml Nic Base 50/50 VG/PG 1g
VG 3.6g
PG 3.6g

Makes around 7.5 - 8mls worth of juice. Want a larger batch just use the same multiplier for each ingredient.

Would love any feedback if you give this recipe a go! I'm thinking about starting my own juice company already!

Ill probably look into making this. Obviously you have taking a liking to it and it sounds good!

This sounds very yummy but I don't know how to do the conversion. If someone comes along with a translation that would be great..otherwise I will take a good guesstimate stab at it. I bet these flavors are quite good together!

If you don't have a cheap digital scale I would recommend getting one to use. You will get the ultimate repeatability that way over using volumes or rough %s.

So far I have found a typical glass eye dropper from a 30ml bottle delivers right at .03g of liquid per drop. So you can use that for adding your flavors by the drop to get you close. As for the VG/PG you could get close enough using a syringe and just drawing 1g of PG per ml and .9ml of VG per gram. Those are rough approximations. So as you see above in my recipe it was 10 drops peanut butter, 7 drops sugar cookie and 6 drops Toasted MM. The 1g of base with the nic was essentially 1ml that was added. Hope that gives you some idea of how to use drops to get close to my mix. Good luck and let me know what you think!

Math is going to be really close due to not wanting to put hundredths or thousands of percentages but..,

3.3-3.4% peanut butter
2.3-2.4% sugar cookie
2% marshmallow

So I made this when I got home today to try it. Made 10ml with 3.5% peanut butter, 2.5% sugar cookie and 2% marshmallow. Have to say it's tasty. I'd say it should even get better after a few days steeping, but I'm sure this 10ml won't make it through tomorrow. Gave it a few hot water baths and vigorous shakes and tried it after about 4 hours with cap off. 60vg 40pg.

I'm gonna make a bigger batch later this week, but a good recipe. Appreciate the share!

There's one thing I don't understand though. When you are measuring your flavors are you pouring them in? If so, what's to stop from overpouring and screwing everything up?

I don't believe in scales so thank you

If it were me, I would still use a volume measuring device (dropper, syringe, Graduated cylinder, etc...) to transfer your fluid(s) on the bottle or measuring device on the scale. Then slowly added that liquid until the weight is what you want. Actually, wouldn't be too bad at all! Might just have to add one to my collection!!

Recipe sounds good! Glad you found one you liked? What's next?? What were some of your fails you didn't want to post!!

I think that would be a Great thread actually, the What Didn't Work Thread - put all your recipes here that were utter fails!!! That could actually be useful to people!!! maybe even a Sticky....

Nothing but your lack of attention. As I mentioned my droppers delivery right at .03g per drop. So I can use syringes to get me close on large volumes and then finish it off precisely with a dropper. If I am over a or under plus/minus .01-.02g I don't sweat it. Usually easy to get it within 1/100th of a gram.

The thing about using weight is repeatability and scalability. Volume is fine for baking cakes and cooking food but when making such small test batches and small bottles really overall the more precise you can be the better you will be at repeating the same results. Percentages are what is measured after mixing by weight when making complex formulations of various chemicals. No different here. I think I am just more science minded about it then most and I know I am a lot older than many here lol. Whatever gives you flavor you like and can repeat to your contentment works for me. You could use no unit of measure other than "it was about this much in the dropper of this, and this much of this" mixed with this and be happy as a clam.

As for my failures I have had a few that lets say are steeping still lol. I tried a frosted donut with cinnamon and bavarian cream just missed it totally. Also a waffle with pie crust and molasses and cinnamon. Pie crust is STRONG use sparingly. Got a few more I am putting together recipes to try next. Need to dump these donuts and reclaim the bottles. Will give them one more pass across the RDA but I don't think they are keepers.

My Sugar Bear clone is coming along nicely. I just adjusted down the vanilla custard by 50% to get rid of the perfume hint and it smoothed things out nicely.

Sugar Cookie CAP .9g
Vanilla Custard CAP .3g
Toasted Marsh Mallow TFA .6g
Cinnamon Danish TFA .75g
30mg/ml 50/50 nic base 1.93g
VG 12g
PG 10g
EM .1g

Make around 25mls of juice.

And if you use a dropper for making 20-30ml mixes it is super easy to get the weight nailed for each flavor fast. It doesn't take long to put a full gram into a bottle with a dropper. Using a syringe it is a pain and you risk putting to much if you overfilled. They are hard to push slowly for drop by drop like a bulb. Once you know the rough base weights of your ingredients and see what a certain volume will give you it is easy to then use a 5 or 10 ml syringe to pump in base liquids fast right below stopping. Same with flavors if you are making a big batch.

Thank you , I use % and a syringe and it came out great.. I appreciate the share

for a 30 ml Sample i did

TFA Peanut Butter 1.0 ml
Cap Sugar Cookie .8 ml
TFA Toasted Marshmallow .6 ml

4 X 30 mins Baths and it was ready to go.. i am sure it will even better as it goes
