Canuck DIY newbie tried to make a Pineapple Crush flavor vape and it turned out to taste undoubtedly like fresh, green onions. I figured I would need to sweeten the pot and add something candy-ish to counterbalance the freshness of the pineapple (FA), but sweet Peter Gabriel, it's like I'm chomping on something from my grandma's herb garden!
8% (FA) Pineapple, 5% (TFA) Ethyl Malitol, 1% (TFA) Koolada, at 30PG/70VG, 3mg
I thought I would start simple. I knew I needed a sweeter pineapple, but I couldn't wait to make another flavor order and just went with the one I had. Bad call. Haha. At least, now I have a vape that will compliment a grilled steak!
Figured I'd post this self-deprocating blurb so I can say I've contributed something to the community. I mean, one man's junk... Perhaps someone is working on a garden salad vape and needs that final touch to take it to the next level.
Not hopeful, but if anyone has any idea what Pineapple Crush tastes like and has suggestions, believe me when I say that I could use the help. Haha
Cheerio for now
You may be one of the lucky bunch whose palette detects FA Pineapple as absolute asshole extract.
I know a lot of people who -really- enjoy said flavor. Me personally, it smells of burnt tires, onions, and horse taint. Though, 8% is pretty darn high for anything FA. Still..... I absolutely loathe FA Pineapple personally.
I'm pleased to know I'm not alone, misery loves company. FA Pineapple is easily the second-worst flavor I've ever tried. I'm not getting any tires or horse taint, but to me it tastes like some foul critter ate a horribly rotten pineapple and several moldy onions and then vomited it up and forced me to vape it.
@Horse Taint, made my morning!
Did you try the pineapple alone at the recommended 5% standalone to get a feel for it before you used it? FA flavors tend to be a bit stronger than other brands so 8% may be a bit high for it, and unless you're going for that cotton candy flavor, the EM is too high also. I'd try 4 or 5% pineapple and 1% EM. Good luck!
You're percentages are way too high. Start with 2% of pineapple and move up from there if needed. With the EM and koolada, try .5% to start. Not sure if that will get you the taste you're looking for but I can guarantee it will be much more pleasant.
Omg I needed a laugh this morning! This was so good I had to read it to my husband!
If the only thing to come of this post was to make someone laugh at my misfortune, that's fine by me. Happy to help!
