What's a good fruit flavor to pair with TFA's Vanilla Bean Ice Cream?

submitted over 9 years ago by amsage3

I'm finding that I like this as flavor more and more, but I'm really trying to find a fruit that pairs week with it, with little success so far. I've tried some strawberries and blueberries so far, and they're OK, but I was thinking of something off the beaten path a little more. I've got it paired with TFA Dragon Fruit right now, and its decent, but just wondering what your guys favorites are.

FA Lemon Sicily with a few drops FA Strawberry really shines with VBIC, imo. I've also been wanting to see what I can do with a peach flavor and VBIC.

Can you post the percentages for that?

I don't have my motes in front of me, but if I recall correctly, it was something to the tune of

6% VBIC
3% FA Lemon Sicily
1% FA Strawberry
1% Koolada

Might work better with CAP Sweet Strawberry, but I never tried it.

Can't remember the ratios but I did like 5% TFA Juicy Peach, 6% TFA VBIC, and a small amount (like 2 or 3%) of TFA Rainbow Sherbet a while back. It turned out fantastic. Try that with a bit of Vanilla Swirl. Add koolada if you wish. Good stuff.

Seconding Forest Fruit at 3.5% in VBIC with INW Raspberry at .25%, or TFA Sweet Raspberry at 1.5% because I love raspberry.

With VBIC, I assume? I made a straight Forest Fruit juice, and it tasted like berries and feet. Wasn't impressed at all.

Yeah , everybody will never agree on all flavorings , most seem to like this one though.

I really like it with TFA - Strawberry and TFA - Strawberry (Ripe)... I prefer the Ripe higher than the regular, but that's just my taste.

All of them, actually.

TFA Strawberry Ripe is good, I've also used FW Blueberry and FW Natural Orange with pretty good results. All 3 are at about 5-6% with 8-9% VBIC.

Such a versatile flavor. My personal favorite was with INW lemon. So so good.

1 points

by 2FastHasteover 9 years ago

I've got those 2 flavors. What percentage of each would you mix?

1 points

by Forever_Nocturnalover 9 years ago

I actually mixed a fewwww other things with it too..

Lemon Sherb Cream Fresh (FA) .8% Lemon (INW) 2% Lemonade (FLV) .75% Sweet Cream (TFA) 1% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA) 3.75% Mixed @ 30pg/70vg

Soo so good. Although you could definitely get away with just doing the lemon at 2-2.5 and VBIC at 5-6 I don't see that turning out bad at allllllll. It reminds me of the lemon buttermilk something or other from Jenni's ice cream. Can't put it down.

Try it with a combination of INW Lemon Concentrate and INW Lemon Mix

2 points

by Forever_Nocturnalover 9 years ago

What % would you suggest for the lemon mix? I've tried it once before but it was reallllly strong at 4% single flavor, haven't messed with it since but I'd like to

Here's my simple recipe

Frosted Lemonade

"INW Lemonade Base" 2.5%

TFA VBIC 5%

My INW Lemonade Base is 75% INW Lemon Concentrate, 25% Lemon Mix. I use it in several things.

The mix above tastes too lemony as a shake and vape but after a couple of days it tastes like one of those Frosted Lemonades you can get at Chic-Fil-A (lemonade blended with vanilla ice cream).

FizzMustard's mustard milk is delicious and a simple combination of VBIC and TPA Strawberry. I recommend highly.

6% TPA SB 8% TFA VBIC

Think he recommends 70/30

Just regular strawberry?

2 points

by mr_taintover 9 years ago

Yep. I'm sure you could try it with ripe if you wanted, but it's quite good as-is. Recommend at least a 2-3 day steep, but closer to a week and the VBIC take starts to come through.

I just posted a recipe the other day with VBIC, Raspberry, vanilla custard, and graham cracker. Quite smooth and tasty.

Strawberry Ripe and Blueberry Wild are both good with VBIC.

That reminds me, I need to order more VBIC. Someone needs to make a remindbot for VBIC.

My current favourite vape Legend pairs Honeydew Melon with VBIC and is fantastic.

Hi there! What percentages to you use for FA Fuji and VBIC? Thanks!

1 points

by Snake731over 9 years ago

I do 8% VBIC and 2-3% Fuji I think, I'm not at my computer right now but if that's wrong I'll update it when I get home. Someone else said that was really good with .5% CAP or FA Marshmallow but I haven't tried that yet
