Ok, finally started to get a hang of mixing flavors :) The key (for 2 flavor mixes anyway) is hold both flavors up to your nose and see what they smell like together.
Here is my review of 5 flavors I recently made... hands down the best batch of flavors I've made so far.
All juices are: 60/40, 7ml, 9mg. All flavors are lorann.
Juice 1
10% banana cream 5% strawberry kiwi
Result: 7.5 out of 10
Flavors individually Banana cream: 8 out of 10 Strawberry kiwi: 5 out of 10
Comments: I'd probably bump the BC to 15%... or drop the SK to 3% in future mixes. This is a very sweet juice... best way I can describe this is if you ever made lemonade as a kid by using sugar powder, at the bottom of the glass there'd be left over sugar residue... if you ever licked that stuff that's what this tastes like. It's a cirtusy sweet taste.
Juice 2
10% Creme de menthe 3% Cherry
Result: 8 out of 10
Flavors individually CDM: 8 out of 10 Cherry: 4 out of 10
Comments: Very nice blend. You get a nice CDM taste on the inhale and a slight cherry flavor on the exhale. I'd probably bump the cherry in 4% in future mixes.
Juice 3
10% cheesecake 6% raspberry 1% marshmellow
Rating: 9 out of 10
Flavors individually Cheesecake: 7.5 out of 10 Raspberry: 7 out of 10
Comments: Not much more to say other than this is exactly what you'd expect raspberry flavored cheesecake to taste like. I'd probably bump the rasp to 8% in future mixes. On a side note, I'm finding cheesecake goes well with soooo many flavors.
Juice 4
6% white chocolate (TFA) 10% bubblegum 4% marshmellow
Rating: 8 out of 10
Flavors individually White Chocolate: 6.5 out of 10 bubble gum: 7 out of 10
Comment: creates a soft yet sweet bubble gum flavor. It's hard to explain...other than to say it's a 'soft' tasting bubble gum. But very nice. In future mixes I might replace the marshmellow with banana cream, I suspect that might make the best ever bubble gum mix.
Juice 5
8% english toffee 3% raspberry
Rating: 9 out of 10
Flavors individually English toffee: 8 out of 10 Raspberry: 7 out of 10
Comments: This might be the best blend of 2 flavors I've done so far. They match up PERFECTLY. On the inhale for the first second you just taste the english toffee, but then a second later the raspberry filters as an undertone. This mix is the type of thing you'd expect from a gourmet vendor juice where you end up thinking "WtF did they put in this to make it taste so good?!". If you like english toffee and raspberry flavors, this a MUST make juice.
You may have seriously convince me to try raspberry flavoring. The raspberry /English toffee sounds crazy.. Probably get cheesecake too next time.
My only loranns experience was their pumpkin flavor which nearly killed me. Waaaay too strong for vaping all together I think. Good to know the rest of their Flavors are normal.
Just tried the Raspberry Cheesecake mix and I have a couple of questions: First, does it get sweeter as it steeps? Quite frankly, the cheesecake is a little bit off as far as flavoring goes. It's a very mellow cheesecake flavor, and even at 10% I had a hard time tasting it as I felt the Raspberry was a little overwhelming. Second, how long do you suggest steeping? Thank you.
ya raspberry should not be 8% (or even 6%) like I listed. Not sure if i made a mistake or what. My current cheesecake is 8% cheesecake and 3% raspberry.
the raspberry is very strong and so should be used in small amounts.
Sorry about putting 6% (not sure what I was thinking at the time).
Cheesecake by itself isn't great, but it mixes really well with most flavors. It won't get sweeter, but the problem was using too much raspberry.
Hopefully you made a small batch not a big one.
Yeah, I only made two 10 mL's. I'm going to probably increase the cheesecake to 11%, reduce the raspberry to something like 4%, keep the marshmallow at 1%, add a little bit of french vanilla, vanilla swirl, vanilla custard, or vanilla cupcake, at 1%, and add 3% of sweetener. I'll let you know how that works out
