Nana Cream Comment

submitted about 10 years ago by Vapespin

Hey guys,

First off I have actually never had nana cream. I am going to order a bottle to see what is up. I was doing some research on the clones and different approaches and I could be way off base considering I haven't tried it but it seems like people never tried to take into account the description of the juice. It obviously has strawberry and banana but it clearly states "candied fruits and berries." This is the part that seems overlooked and not hardly mentioned. My thoughts are pineapple on the candied aspect but also the berries...Why is this overlooked in all the clones? Anyone else realize this or have any thoughts to this. I seriously doubt it was written in the description if it wasn't included in the juice.

Edit: Also, wasn't trying to say anyone's clone isn't good or doesn't work, just curious why this approach wasn't taken

We didn't ignore it. Fizz realized that pineapple was too strong, and dragonfruit shared many volatiles with pineapple, but in lower concentrations. And my recipe(quince) contains many dragonfruit volatiles, with a bit of tutti-frutti and apple volatiles too.

Dragonfruit contains some of the same molecules as pineapple and pear! Cool huh? That's why it works at low % for me.

If you're talking about the clone that's spot on lacking other fruits, I was curious about that as well. I have a feeling because the flavor percentage of strawberry is so high and it being such a strong flavor, it morphs itself and the other two fruits into that pineapple-esque note you mention. There's some kind of weird flavor chemistry going on, for sure.

That's the effect that TFA dragonfruit has on flavors. It doesn't taste much like dragonfruit, but it is one of the best finishing touches you can have in your kit.

It's the dragon fruit doing all the magic. Of course the original doesn't use dragonfruit, but apparently people say it's one of the closest tasting clones.

Yeah, I started writing that novel as a reply to this post, but decided to just self-post it.

I was curious about the clone that used tfa quince. Have not had a chance to try that one.

Creator of that recipe here, don't bother. I'm currently writing a new post for an updated recipe. If you don't have quince, still get it since it's in this new one as an additive(2d/10mL). But also pick up TFA apricot, not only is it a fantastic flavor, but this is the closest I've come to pinning down the flavor of 'Nana Cream. I'm positive it's not the real recipe, but I do feel that if the flavor is close enough, the recipe doesn't matter.
