Optional Sweetener 0.2%

This is a random combination I was in the mood for and mixed over the weekend, it turned out way better than expected so I decided to share. TPA Pistachio is a flavoring I love, but as a standalone it leaves something to be desired to qualify as an ADV. The lemon complements the pistachio in a way none of my other late night experiments with pistachio were able to do, and the coconut adds a nice sweet finish to the exhale.

TPA Pistachio - This is a really nice flavoring, it's not very nutty though and more of a pistachio ice cream. It's also easily dominated by other flavorings so 8% is needed to make it a main note.

TPA Lemonade Cookie - I haven't used this flavoring too much but it's a nice lemon flavoring for bakery flavors with a subtle cookie background. 2% is ideal to get the lemon across and start building out the cookie taste.

FA Cookie & INW Biscuit - This combo adds depth to the mix and mouthfeel, without these two it would be overly airy and bright. These ground the high notes and take this mix to the ADV category in my opinion. These also bring out the cookie in lemonade cookie and complete the lemon bar taste.

FA Almond - This is simply here to bring out the nuttiness in TPA Pistachio that would otherwise be drowned out.

FLV Sweet Coconut - The coconut mainly shines at the end of the exhale and compliments the nuttiness in the mix. It comes across almost more as a vanilla than a coconut, which isn't a bad thing.

Sweetener (Optional) - I've neglected using sweetener because personally I'm not a fan of overly sweet juices, however I've come to realize there's another property of sucralose that I'll swallow my pride and admit I tend to enjoy (at low percentages). 0.2% sweetener here will make the exhale more dynamic and help with flavor retention. It tastes fine without it too so feel free to omit the sweetener, I don't use this in any of my production juices. Your coils and cotton will stay fresher without it so it's up to personal preferences.
