memzey's mixes

I'm going to ask here as this thread is moving. I am looking make up a deep blackcurrant cream/cheesecake. Has anyone got a decent recipe? I can no doubt find one using google but the group/hive mind here is offering better advice I reckon. I've searched the recipes on the POTV site and they are a bit meh. Advice please mixologists!

I know nothing about blackcurrent but INW 'Yes we Cheesecake' is the place to start with the cheesecake. It's basically all there.

it might not be too useful to you but i have a bottle on the go with FA black currant, yoghurt and fresh cream. it is excellent. you could add some mozzarella and cookie.

it’s at 2% 1% 2%.

Thanks @zouzounaki, what Yoghurt are you using please? That sounds a delicious combo, with a cookies biscuity base added it's exactly what I aim aiming to make.

Just checked it out. That's exactly the info I was looking for. It's a veritable treasure chest. Thank you so much!

It's good stuff and a lot easier than trying to construct the whole thing from scratch, add your preferred cream on top, a little extra graham crust if needed and the blackcurrant and I think you'll be very close.

it’s FA yoghurt. 0.5% each of inw biscuit and FA cookie should add your base.

what do people think of FA black currant? i really like it. but i think it tastes more like red currants. but i’m not sure if that’s just a psychological effect of the bottle having a picture of red currants on it.

I have it and think it’s very good. I prefer INW Blackcurrant though, even though it is less authentic. Seems to taste a bit more like ribena which I like a lot .

I'm with you on the INW but I always layer it with either totally wicked blackcurrant or the cap silver line blackcurrant myself. Also adding 0.5 tpa blackberry can give the blackcurrants a bit of depth but only 0.5 as it's pretty strong stuff. FA blackcurrant is nice but not as sweet as the others for me.

UPDATE

Just cracked open the first @memzey recipe which is the berry bonanza. I vaped it on the Rye RDA at 70w.

Off the bat this is the best mix I've ever been able to achieve by a mile (well, the best one I've done using someone else's recipe and advice ). The blackcurrant flavours, dark and deep and nicely balanced predominate. The vape is very refreshing but also has the tangy sweetness you'd expect from these type of fruits. I don't pick up the Raspberry in the mix (which is probably my fault) which might be my taste buds or I mixed it too low. The forest fruits can be detected at the bottom of the berry overload.

Overall, an absolutely banging eliquid I added a bit of koolada, which has worked a treat and gave me the cool flavour I was seeking. I'll be making this up in industrial quantities - I wish I'd made more to start with now - as it fits my 'all day vape' requirements perfectly.

A massive hat tip to Memzey and thanks for the help.

I've got three more eliquids still on the steep - Club Tropicana by Memzey, my own coconut/lime/berry effort and a blackcurrant/cheesecake/ something mix inspired by the advice from @zouzounaki and @Simon G I'll let you know how they turn out.

Glad to hear it worked out for you @Smokeandsteam ! You should be fine to mix up reasonable sized batches of that as I don't think anything it fades particularly badly. As it works quite well off the shake though, I tend to mix it in 50ml bottles myself.
