🫐Blueberry Muffin - Signature E-juice by TBD Liquids

Description

Hello everyone, ​ I’m thrilled to share the evolution of my beloved Blueberry Muffin flavor. These recipes have been crafted and refined from 2015 to 2022. Each version holds a special place in my journey. Enjoy these in chronological order! ​ # **The Original Recipe** ​ One of my earliest "winners," this recipe marked my first successful dessert flavor developed for traditional sub-ohm devices back in 2015. ​ Signature Recipe: - Blueberry (Wild) (TFA): 10% - Cheesecake Graham Crust (TFA): 5% - Cotton Candy (Ethyl Maltol) (TFA): 1.75% Recipe Notes: ​ The blueberry flavor is quite faint, so I used it at a high 10%. To balance it, I also had to increase the Cheesecake Graham Crust, which can be harsh at higher percentages. Ethyl Maltol helps smooth out the throat hit. Despite the haphazard development, this flavor became a favorite and was my first all-day-vape dessert. It has a light, balanced taste with a nice throat hit, and it significantly boosted our brand's popularity. I always felt like this was a pretty good shake and vape recipe, I loved vaping it in my old Ranger OKR box mod. ​ ### **Blueberry Muffin Salt: V1** ​ This version was developed for custom JUUL pods and worked well in Caliburn devices too. ​ Blueberry Muffin Salt Recipe: - Blueberry (Wild) (TFA): 12% - Cheesecake Graham Crust (TFA): 6% - Cotton Candy (Ethyl Maltol) (TFA): 2% Recipe Notes: I initially adjusted the original signature recipes to create this salt version. It performed well, but as I gained more experience, I decided to start fresh with the Blueberry Muffin salt, leading to the creation of our "Handcrafted" line. ​ ​ ### **Handcrafted Blueberry Muffin: V2** ​ This version was a more streamlined and simplified approach. - Blueberry Muffin (Eiffel 65) Recipe: - Blueberry (Hangsen): 5% - Cinnamon Sugar (CSL): 5% - Cheesecake w/ Graham Crust (PUR): 4% - Super Sweet (CAP): 0.25% Recipe Notes: I cut out many elements from previous trials, perhaps simplifying it too much. The Cinnamon Sugar didn't quite meet my expectations, but the Hangsen Blueberry was a standout. Unfortunately, sourcing it became too costly, prompting yet another revision. I was pretty sick of working on Blueberry Muffin, my naming for my recipe attempts got very repetitive.. As you can see, "Final" didn't actually mean final on this oneπŸ˜‚ ### ​ ### ​ ### **Handcrafted Blueberry Muffin: The Final Version** Combining years of experience and countless trials, this final version aims for a well-rounded and ambitious flavor profile. ​ Blueberry Muffin (Muff 5) Recipe: - Blueberry Extra (CSL): 4.5% - Boysenberry (VT): 4.5% - Lemon Cake (INW): 0.4% - Cheesecake w/ Graham Crust (PUR): 3% - Cinnamon Sugar (CSL): 0.75% - Forest Fruit (FA): 4% - Super Sweet (CAP): 0.25% Recipe Notes: This recipe incorporates Inawera's Lemon Cake for a subtle bready-ness, reducing reliance on Cheesecake w/ Graham Crust and Cinnamon Sugar. Forest Fruit adds depth to the berry note, making the blueberry flavor more full-bodied. Boysenberry brings brightness, and the layered ingredients create a complex, well-rounded flavor. ​ Flavor Breakdown: ​ Blueberry: - Top Note: Boysenberry (VT) - Middle Note: Blueberry Extra (CSL) - Bottom Note: Forest Fruit (FA) ​ Muffin: ​ - Top Note: Cinnamon Sugar (CSL) - Middle Note: Cheesecake w/ Graham Crust (PUR) - Bottom Note: Lemon Cake (INW) ​ Reflecting on this journey: ​ It's incredible to see how my recipes have evolved, much like the stories shared in my previous posts about Nana Custard and Rainbow Candy. Each flavor tells a story of creativity, perseverance, and passion. From the early days of experimenting with simple ingredients to the refined and sophisticated blends I created during the last few years of TBD, it's been an adventure of learning and growth. Your support and feedback have been invaluable in this process. I hope these recipes bring you as much joy as they have brought me in creating them. ​ Thank you for being a part of this flavorful journey. ​ John ---- After being forced by the FDA to close my small business last year, I now share my recipes openly, relying on the kindness of supporters to sustain my craft.
