Banana Caramel Cookie (my most successful recipe so far)

[vaporiser]

Recipe
60/40 VG/PG
Banana (One On One) - 4%
Caramel (TPA) - 3%
Cookies & Cream (Chefs Flavours) - 5%
Cream (Milky Undertone) (One On One) - 3%

Creamy banana flavour on the inhale, complimented with a caramel-syrup flavour. On the exhale you really get that banana cookie flavour. I'm vaping this with 1mg nicotine and only 10 days steep so far. I imagine the flavour will be far more complex at 4+ weeks. Already I prefer it to many premium vapes I've tried, including Element, UA and Charlie's Chalk Dust. All the concentrates I've used really compliment each other. Of course I'm no master at DIY e-liquids.. with my experience only ranging to a few months. But this is by far my most successful recipe and I'd be surprised if someone didn't find it to be a satisfying vape. I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement though. On the exhale there is a slight hint of a "burnt" cookie taste, but I think the other concentrates have managed to disguise this slightly. Maybe % too high on the Cookies & Cream?
Please provide any suggestions you might have. I'm looking to perfect this recipe as much as I can.. I think I've found a good starting point so far. I'm sure some of the vapers with more experience will have plenty of criticisms though! At least that's what I'm hoping so it can be improved

Looks a good recipe?
I love bananas but really struggle with banana in a vape?
No idea why really?
I will try this one though, surely there's a banana vape I will like? Lol

I am someone who struggles with flavour in general.. but the Banana concentrate from One On One really did it for me. I don't really like bananas either lol. It tastes like a banana sweet.. which is also something I wouldn't really like eating, but somehow I really like vaping it!?

I have the same issue - love bananas but never found a banana vape that didn't make my stomach do backflips Lemme know if you liked it or not and I may try it - have given up on banana vapes for the time being but I really do want to like them lol

My favourite drink in the world is a McDonald's banana milkshake so when I started vaping I thought mmmmmm banana milkshake flavour would be lovely.

How wrong was I??? I can't find a decent one anywhere.... there either too sickly or artificial tasting.

Even tried diying one with no joy so I concluded banana is just one of them flavours that's really difficult to nail.

Although The Manabush Nanabozho isn't a straight banana it's the only banana e liquid I like. It's the closest I've found to a real banana. All the others start my gag reflex off.

No I haven't, I'll consider it next time I order from Manabush but I remember seeing it and was put off because of the banana 'thing' I have going on with my vapetastes lol At least if I get it and it makes me feel like gagging then I can send it on to you and it won't go to waste
