Applacco-Ch V2
Description
This recipe is a remix from one of my first recipes posted on ELR called Applacco-Ch. As the description on ELR states it is a mild apple tobacco flavored recipe, and is supposed to be patterned from Halo's Midnight Apple eLiquid. Unfortunately the use of Flavor West Green Apple was not the best choice as it tends toward a chemical note, but the recipe is a representation of what I knew back then and I was content to leave it be. I was a bit surprised and embarrassed when it showed up on the Noted DX Hilly Tobacco episode. At that time I decided to give it another go.
Hansen Churchill is supposed to be the flavor of Winston cigarettes (you know, Winston Churchill). I've never had a Winston cigarette so I cannot honestly say, but it seems to work well in this recipe and I decided to stick with it here.
Unfortunately, at least from what I've sampled, a natural green apple flavor is hard to come by. In this remix I used VSO Green Apple, but while very natural in flavor, it is somewhat thin, not very tart, and gets pushed around by the tobacco flavor. I decided to build up my own green apple(ish) flavor. I used a small amount of FA Fuji as it is a really good apple flavor, but it can be very distinctive in a recipe so I decided to use it at a low percentage and blend it with Capella Two Apples. These two flavors added a more stronger apple note to VSO Green Apple. I then added a small amount of Jungle Flavors Lemon Juicy to add more tartness and brightness to the recipe, and to counteract the dryness of the tobacco flavor.
Flavorah Sweetness was used to lift up the apple flavor, and, of course, use it at your own discretion.
This recipe did not disappoint. The apple is more like a Haralson, and the tobacco flavor is more of a tea note in the background.
