does anyone know a better way vanilla juice

[casey jones]

vanilla flavour
1 vanilla pod per 10ml of 40% vodka [ can be cheapest ]
slit pod lengthwise and cut into 1cm sections
place in dark clean bottle
shake once a week
wait 4-6 month
so worth making a reasonable amount if you dont like it
it will make a unusual unique gift for some one who bakes etc

Are you wanting to make a pressie for a person that cooks or are you trying to extract vanilla flavour for an e-liquid?

If you want to extract vanilla flavouring then the best value way to do it from real vanilla is to use 'extraction grade' beans. these are drier and less good looking, and are often split. Though because they are drier they work better for flavour extraction.

For some reason people believe that only food that looks good will eat well so vanilla suppliers keep the best looking beans to sell at a premium and sell off the ones that look poor cheaper.

If you want a vanilla flavour for an e-liquid then use vanillin flavouring, either as a liquid or get vanillin crystals and dissolve them into PG and use that. In an e-liquid you don't notice all the little tiny delicate flavour notes that real vanilla provides over vanillin. Also you might be adding something from the vanilla bean to your e-liquid that isn't so good for you in the long run.

If you're making vanilla flavouring for food stuff then real vanilla beats vanillin hands down. Which beans are the best is a fiercely debated topic. I prefer Red Tahitian beans, not least because it winds up the French who swear by Bourbon Vanilla

hi this mix is intended for e-juice concentrate experiment only mixed 3 weeks ago so much too soon to evaluate
as it takes months to ferment i see it as a shot to nothing ie can be used for baking etc so no wastage. by the way
i cant help having a sniff at it now and again DELIGHTFUL

The longer you leave it the better it gets. If you keep it at room temp in a dark place you'll get a useable extract after about 8 weeks, 6 months is a bit overkill. Give it a gentle shake every couple of days as well rather than once a week.

thanks for input do you think the 1 pod 10ml ratio is too strong or weak this was a uneducated guess
glad you reckon 8 weeks im like a kid with a christmas present i cant open [ i think i speak for most vapers
when we are waiting for stuff so impatient lot dont you think

 

[VaperCaper]

sounds about right - it depends really on how much vanilla is in the pod you used. As long as the liquid is darkish brown it'll give you am OK result.

Where would you get vanillin crystals?
