Favorite Two-Flavor Pairings
submitted over 8 years ago by lite_acker

We know and use common pairings of two flavors that show up again and again. To serve the role of a fruit note, TPA Strawberry and TPA Strawberry (Ripe) blend wonderfully in an equal ratio. With a classic pairing from the my first order flavors list, like TFA bavarian cream and fa sweet cream, a 1:3 ratio might be good in one way and a 2:1 good for a different flavor base, but I want to hear your favorite two-flavor pairings.

I've heard of how well bilberry compliments blueberry, so I will try to pick those up on my next order, and I just had a great experience with a 4% tfa honeydew 1% fa cotton candy circus pairing.

What's your favorite two-flavor pairing?

Bonus points if it works on it's own as a 2-flavor mix that might be someone's ADV, as well as in a vape-flavor-team with more members. Bonus points if it works as a food or drink, outside of vaping, e.g. lime & coconut, peanut butter & jelly, salt & caramel, etc.

I wonder if INW peach with Bavarian cream will work.

That cream xhesw doesn't come out horrid at 3% I don't care for it much but only used at like 1 or 1.5% I just got some more holy vanilla so I'm interested .

If you mean Cream Cheese Icing: I suggest trying it out as a single flavour at different percentages, as I find its profile changes from cream cheese to sugar frosting the higher the concentration. In a mix I almost never go over 1-1.5% and use it sparingly, since it can really change/distort a recipe. Also, a bit of Ethyl Maltol can help tone it down and round out some sharper notes.

TFA Kentucky Bourbon + TFA Toasted Marshmallow. So sexy.

FLV Mango + CAP Sweet Mango. I don't even really like CAP Sweet Mango, but FLV is kind of like mango juice or nectar, and adding a small amount of CAP Sweet Mango to it gives it some pulpy body.

CAP Sugar Cookie + CAP Vanilla Custard. Makes the cookie much softer and richer with extra vanilla, just the way I like 'em.

Almost anything + TFA VBIC.

What percentages do you suggest mixing the TFA Kentucky Bourbon and TFA Toasted Marshmallow? That sounds like a delicious pairing that I definitely will be making after work today.

3 points
 
by HashSlingingSlashurover 8 years ago

I'd use like 1-2% bourbon and 0.5-1% toasted marshmallow, adjust to taste.

Toasted Marshmallow gets weird for me around 1-2% so I keep it low. Very useful sweetener though

Awesome thanks so much. I agree with you on the toasted marshmallow it goes from great to funky really quickly. Definitely need to be conservative with it.

Standalone, just to see what they taste like together and consider what you might mix them with, I would go with 3% KB and 2% TM.

In a mix: 1 to 3% TFA Kentucky Bourbon + 1.5 to 2% TFA Toasted Marshmallow.

As seen here: Coop's Kiwi Bourbon

and here: Awwww Sheeeeiiiit!

and here: drunk3n_pe4rs

and here: Stout Sauce

and here: Beer Goggles

and here: Plum Smugglin

and here: Whiskey Rebellion

and here: BB Warmer. This last one is a work in progress I still need to revisit and complete. It needs just a touch of a sweet, syrupy dark berry to fill in the bottom half of the blackberry, I think the right amount of FW Blueberry might be the missing piece but I got distracted by other things and haven't had a chance to experiment with that yet.

Damn, this just reminded me I made up a batch of stout sauce 3 months ago and totally forgot about it. I've just tried some now and it's pretty good stuff and certainly well steeped.

Cap vcv1 + dulce de leche at ~3:1 ratio is a fairly well known recipe. Just the other day the color on my first batch "turned" and i suppose its ready because any eggy and alcoholic flavors are gone and replaced with smooooth vanilla and a milky exhale.

Highly recommended by itself but theres no way these could go wrong in a mix together.

TFA Dulce de Leche right? I read very mixed reviews on that one, some say it's great in custards, some say it ruins anything it touches... Might have to try it solo and see for myself.

by fuckniggabitchover 8 years ago

Thats the classic, but i used fw. Tfa is supposed to taste kinda chocolatey, fw tastes milky more than anything.

My personal favorites are

5% Tfa watermelon + 1% koolada makes watermelon bubblegum

4% FA lemon Sicily + 3% sweet cream for lemon cream.

3% FW jungle juice + 1% menthol

Yeah, that watermelon bubblegum definitely looks like it could stand on its own.

One of my personal favorites is TFA VBIC + TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato, usually a 2:1 is good with this combo. Makes for a really good start to a cream base

TFA Blueberry (Extra) + TFA Graham Cracker Clear (2:1)

Cool. Is that more of a blueberry poptart or a blueberry muffin or what?

1 points
 
by workerbee41over 8 years ago

I do blueberry + cinnamon danish for a quick blueberry muffin. Not much depth but a decent standby. I think I do 1:3 but I'd have to look at home.

TFA strawberry (or ripe if you prefer it) 2-4%

FW Spearmint - 2-3%

Or the age old strawberry (nearly any) + VBIC.

How 'bout TFA Peanut Butter + Marshmallow at a 3:1 ratio.

RF Blue raz - 5% + TFA cotton candy 3%

by skivianover 8 years ago

Pretty much any fruit + VBIC is pretty solid

Agreed..it's almost impossible to mess up with vbic.

Does the kind if VBIC matter? I just tried it with flavor west but I think the actual Mustard Milk recipe calls for a different one.

I figured it's down to preference. I use tfa I think.

INW Cherries + FA Black Cherry, only blend I and my friends don't get a medicinal cherry flavor but rather delicious jammy baked cherry

1 points
 
by simpsons6575over 8 years ago

Do you have any other flavor pairings with FA Black Cherry. I have been playing with this flavor lately with mixed results. I have had some success with FA Lemon Sicily and also with TFA Nectarine. I find it ruins a mix pretty easily if used wrong but if used correctly will have a really good tasting ejuice.

by Craftywineauxover 8 years ago

FA Apricot and Hazlenut both seem to play well with it but I really do enjoy it more with the two cherries similar to bilberry and blueberry together

TFA Bubblegum 4% CAP Double Apple 4%, FA Cookie 2% TFA VBIC 4%, FA Forest Fruit 2.5% WF Summertime Lemonade 4%. Those are my current go to. I usually only mix two flavor juices. I am going to make a berry cereal (berry crunch+bav cream) and simple nana cream (strawberry ripe+banana cream) after my next order.

I like TFA Bavarian Cream and TFA French Vanilla Deluxe 1:1 for a simple and and light vanilla cream base. Usually i go for around 2% for each.

Goes great with mints and fruits.

CAP V2 Raspberry 6% + CAP Sweet Cream 3%.

Let sit at least one week. Tastes like fresh raspberries and cream. You can vape it right away too, but it's less creamy.

It's the simplest recipe I've ever cooked up, and also one of my favorites.

> TFA Juicy Peach + TFA Dragonfruit

Any particular percentage or ratio? That's sounding damn good right about now..

This is the recipe I used although just about any combination of these flavors works.

Holy hell, but those are some crazy percentages! I'm cutting them in half and then mixing. Should be go to go-Thanks!

#truth the ratio is 9/11.

I do have these flavors already so I will try an equal ratio of peach to dragonfruit today :)
