Weird flavor combinations

submitted almost 9 years ago by DaCreecher09

What are some weird flavor combos that you use that have came out surprisingly good? I found that I like to put tfa cucumber in a lot of my recipes like key lime pie or a strawberry cheesecake. I like the crisp cool taste of it on the exhale.

I don't know if it's weird but I like mixing tobacco with custard.

Have you made Gentlemans Custard? It was posted here some time ago.

Found it. /u/ohm-society posted it. I subbed fw butterscotch ripple. Quite nice after a month or more.

Your comment just made me open a batch that I made on 06-29. It smells divine :)

And to be honest, I actually prefer it with FW's Butterscotch Ripple vs. the original, which used FLV Butterscotch.

Cool, I only subbed because that's what I have. I made 120 ml about 6 weeks ago, it's just getting better and better.

Mmmm me too. Some ry4, a touch of AP, custard, sometimes butterscotch :)

Still waiting for you to drop that custard tobacco recipe you've been talking about. :)

Custard seems to work with tobacco, menthol & custard would be weird

how about menthol, peanut butter, banana and tobacco? Check out the nanner clone by /u/project_twenty5oh1

I was going to mention this if no one else did. You can't describe this juice to people without being looked at crazy, just have to let them try it. Maybe tell them afterwards.

My mom in law tried vaping and used a tank, she would add extreme menthol juice to EVERYTHING. I gave her some fucking vanilla cheese cake juice and she added that menthol to the tank too. I was disgusted lol

Try custard and red bull. Sounds awful but isn't.

Any of TFA's tobaccos by any chance, if so, any recommendations?

I'm just starting to play with some TFA's tobaccos I've had lying around. I've had in the back of my mind that some custard could work well with them.

I always recommend TFA RY4 Double, but it's not really a tobacco. It's more like caramel and vanilla with a hint of tobacco leaf. Goes great with custards! Lately I've been using FA Soho a lot too. It's kind of like TFA RY4 double but way more "tobacco".

1 points

by BuryMeInSmokealmost 9 years ago

Nice. I've used RY4 double in a few things. I'll have to check out Soho. Cheers.

Right now, I'm working on trying to get the balance right on a lime raspberry custard with a taro undertone, but all I'm getting is fruity French fries...

I don't know if you read my recipe thread for my Ube Custard, but I found making a 10% of Taro helps a lot. It gives you a lot more wiggle room to not overdo it. Taro is powerful stuff. Hope this helps you on your journey!

by Vurvealmost 9 years agoVurve with the Swurve

Very, very powerful stuff. I still only use like 0.1% of a 10% dilution.

Fruity French fries lol

I've had no luck w/ Taro either. It just tastes like potato in whatever I put it in... and I've gone low w/ percentages. (I think the lowest was a 1/10 of a %)

2 points

by BluShirtGuyalmost 9 years ago

It's weird, I find the less taro, the more French fry flavour I get...

2 points

by RinVapesalmost 9 years ago

That is odd. I've recently had a Taro Bubble tea and it does taste potato-like to be honest. I'm just not sure that's something I want to vape.

Wasn't somebody in this subreddit talking about their friends being all strung out on some Watermelon & Cinnamon house juice abomination a couple months ago?

I think it sounds bizarre, but if a reliable clone recipe were to pop up, I would totally try it.

That was me. I've been asked to clone it and it seems half of my town's vaping population is hooked on this stuff to the point of not wanting anything else. I've refused because, well, cinnamon and watermelon. But I'm tempted because it could be lucrative. And I think I've uncovered the source of this unholy combination. I imagine it's just that plus sweetener.

The combo seems crazy to me. I try to "taste" it in my head, which is something I do when I find some weird new-to-me vegetable at the Asian market and I'm trying to think of what to cook it with, but my imagination just keeps coming up with an error 404.

Still, where so many people in your town are obsessed with it, I'm kinda' convinced that this is how the zombie apocalypse starts. Maybe your moral objection to cloning it is saving us all, and keeping this epidemic from vectoring?

In any case, stay safe! I will not be ordering this unholy flavoring. I can only assume it's appealing name is all a trap. I will be securing my nearest Costco in anticipation of the end times. Good luck my friend, and may god save us all!

I said it was probably just HV Vixen and sweetener? Edit: They might also be putting a wee pinch of meth in there as well. That would certainly explain some things.

Or the zombie virus. Probably the zombie virus.

That's almost definitely it. I work at a shop that's probably 20 minutes from HV and we sell that flavor. I've got people that adore it but it is disgusting. Also I had a bottle that was mixed at like 15% flavoring for someone. They kept complaining wanting it stronger, then hated it after they tried it and I showed them that more flavoring doesn't mean better juice. Anyways that bottle litterally turned the liquid into a gel-like substance after a couple weeks. Freaky shit.

/u/RuntDastardly - Apocalypse Juice, confirmed. We're all gonna die.

Mr. Coltux, do you know why Texas doesn't fall into the ocean? Because Oklahoma sucks! JK, I'm just across the Red River and might as well be in Indian Territory. Does the shop where you work sell some kind of Ninja Turtle juice?

I don't do many weird flavor combos myself. Some have suggested that this recipe is weird for its use of TFA Dragonfruit as the main flavor instead of the supporting role into which it is usually relegated: Mother of Dragons' Milk. But, the flavors I used are all well-known for complementing each other well, so I'm not sure that qualifies.

If you're looking for bizarre but surprisingly -- no, SHOCKINGLY -- good, check out this guy, /u/philosaphucker, and especially this recipe.

Another wonderful but odd combo is /u/coop34's Kiwi Bourbon recipe - 4% FA Kiwi, 2% each TFA Kentucky Bourbon and Toasted Marshmallow.

I like FW Ruby Red Grapefruit, FW Salted Caramel, FA Caramel, Bergamot and TFA Brown Sugar. Haven't perfected it yet. Now that the seasons are changing I prefer bakery with fruit flavors.

Five flavors that work no matter what I've put them in (at least in small amounts), and I've made a lot of juices:

Cap Double apple, inw white grapefruit, tfa honeydew, fw blackberry, fa rose

2 points

by DaCreecher09almost 9 years ago

Sounds very uhhh....different lol the rose threw me off

2 points

by callipygianslyalmost 9 years ago

It's not for everyone. I happen to be a fan of Turkish delight and rose lends a thickness similar to a dairy flavor when I'm sick of dairy flavors.

Nice. I have Rose and haven't really messed with it.

Actually mixed this by accident. My normal recipe FW Cucumber Mint 3% TPA Honeydew 2% TPA Honeysuckle 1% Got distracted by kids, came back and added TPA Bavarian Cream 2%

"Oh crap... screw it, waste not want not, I'm gonna vape it anyway "

It's been named "Satan's Leathery A**hole" so my customers can ask for it by name.

I like to make a cucumber melon with bavarian cream! I like it a lot

2 points

by Dworrakkalmost 9 years ago

My accidental 30ml has turned into 600ml made so far, I think it's gross because of the cucumber mint , but I'll have to try to make a melon/bavarian cream, sounds interesting.
