Need Help in getting Chocolate flavor creamier

[Edna]

Hey all DYI Wizards

I love chocolate and I like to vape it but I'm having trouble getting my dark chocolate to taste richer/creamier when I'm making my chocolate strawberry.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. or need to do...THANKS for any advice

Here's my  recipe: (I'd like to keep it around 60/40 or 70/30 VG/PG)

0.4ml PG

15 ml VG

6ml Double Chocolate (dark) TFA

3ml Strawberry TFA

1.5 Bavarian Cream (whatever I have-Given to me- so unsure)

1ml Sweetener TFA

plus (1.6 nic in VG)

That Dark Double Chocolate is quite dry and bland... I have used it a couple times and the only way to "creamy" it up was to add equal parts chocolate and Bavarian Cream, and even then it was still "dry" tasting.  Have you tried Vanilla Custard in the mix as well?  It will often sweeten and add a different dimension to chocolate, especially dark chocolate.

This is one reason I like to use Milk Chocolate for my recipies with chocolate... if I want the Dark Chocolate flavor, I'll add it as an addition (about half or less than the volume of Milk Chocolate I use), and then I'll also add in Vanilla Custard and/or Bavarian Cream as needed to soften the flavor.

Thanks, your suggestions always help a lot!

I'll order some vanilla custard next time I get flavorings! It tastes ok but not great as it is. for the meantime I'll add in extra Bavarian Cream.

Don't go too hard on the Bavarian Cream... it can make it taste bitter if you over-do it   I'd add in another 1-3ml in 1ml shots to see how it does...  Also, Bavarian Cream will get stronger after mixing...or you'll taste it more after a day or two... so what tastes good right after mixing may be too strong after it steeps a bit?

I'll keep that in mind thanks!
