I've decided on a lavender & bubblegum blend, based on an amazing cocktail we tried a few months back.
At the moment I'm deciding between a couple of combinations:
-
Classikool Lavender & Lorann Bubblegum & Lorann Raspberry. Not sure of the proportions yet, need to do some experimenting, but if anyone has a rough idea that'd save me a ton of time.
-
Classikool Lavender and Hubba Bubba Grape by Pink Spot (this is a thick dark purple juice, which I'm guessing is a mix of Grape Lorann and Bubblegum Lorann).
The Classikool Lavender is the only decent one I've found (I think there's an FA one but it tastes harsh and nasty), and my partner and I are both big fans of Lorann flavours.
But will lavender/bubblegum work well with raspberry? Or Grape? I suggested strawberry but she's not a fan. Would any other flavours work with these two core flavours?
That honestly sounds like a terrible combination to me, but I won't judge personal tastes. Your best bet is to use the search and figure out what flavors would work best.
How often do you search for information on the recipes you make?
You recommend it a regularly, but I only ever have success if I know EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I'm genuinely curious if there's something I'm doing wrong.
For example, what would he search and find to help him work on a recipe in this situation?
Are you using google site search?
yes, using google pulls much more accurate results, but in a very VEEERY cut down and hard to interpret way. Thus you have to have a better handle on both how reddit works AND having a pretty good idea of the thing you want answered.
It's not a very good tool for research since it gives such bitesized chunks.
Using reddit search is extremely inaccurate mostly in that it never gives barely any results for if you're looking for something even slightly vague. BUT it does present the information in a very digestible way, and breaks it into comments and submissions. It's a lot easier to work with if it pulls the right information....which is almost never.
Lavender tastes like lotion.
True, so I'm planning to use it in small amounts, with sweeteners and bubblegum to balance that out.
Have you tried any of the other floral flavors? There are some that are delicious and not as polarizing as Lavender. Just to be honest, there is a greater chance in this situation that a majority will find it disgusting, than there is of most people digging it. Why not recreate that cocktail as a cocktail? I would strongly urge you to either go with lavender, or go with bubblegum, but this combination sounds stressful to create and, like many food & drink flavors, not very satisfying in vape form. I actually wouldn't stray far from any known flavor pairings for an actual event like this.

>Flavor Pairings with Lavender
>Lavender's sweet, fragrant flavor complements a range of foods, both sweet and savory. Ingredients lavender goes well with: strawberries blueberries, pears, lemon, orange, honey, sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and chocolate.
The last half of those are not a good idea obviously. I think the bubble gum is going to be a hurdle here. Lavender goes best with cream and/or vanilla, but especially vanilla ice cream, and as stated above, garnished with honey. Also not mentioned are teas, green or black (or white probably), plus anything you want to out into an herbal tea. I think chamomile, bergamot, etc. are all good in tea. If you're set on lavender and bubblegum, then focus on those flavors and use other additions only to round out the flavor instead of adding another potent flavor like grape. Harshness of a single concentrate, like you mentioned with FA Lavender, can be mixed in a way to smooth it out.
ITT: People who haven't tried well composed sweet floral cocktails.
No recipe suggestions OP, but please post the recipe and what flavorings you find on the lavender front, because I think it sounds super interesting!
I wouldn't suggest Lavender. Personally i detest floral vapes, and I know a good handful of people that also don't enjoy them at all. I would go with versatile flavors like strawberry and maybe pair them with more exotic fruits like guava or something like that. Maybe if you know some people will like the lavender you can still mix it but I'd definitely suggest offering non-floral as well. Side question, do you work at a vape shop or something and that's why most of your homies vape? Or do you just happen to hang out with lots of vapers?
I don't have any suggestions sadly but I just want to say that bottles of juice sounds like an adorable wedding favor! I'm getting married in 3 months and if I had more than like 5 people who vaped in attendance I would totally consider doing the same.
Off topic, Just dropped by to say that up until a month ago I haven't tried a lavender scented drink or food. Man was I missing out. I had a lavender margarita and i was blown away. But it doesn't stop there, I had a lavender creme brulee as well and I was double blown away. It's a wonderful flavor bout i think you have to use it in extremely small amounts.
I think you should try mixing it with some key lime or dragon fruit, keep it fresh !
With great flavor comes great responsibility.
Unless I'm wrong, Classikool is an Essential Oil, correct me if I'm wrong though, I would suggest NOT vaping that.
Honestly, if you want to use Lavender, FA is my favorite. Use it at about .5% or so. I use it in a few recipes and it works well there. But, it might not be the flavor for you.
EDIT: I see now they have non-oil. My Bad.
A tiny amount of tfa cherry blossom in addition to whatever lavender (in even tinier amounts) might help on the floral front. It's lazy but I usually have the best luck with using more than one flavor for each aspect of a mix. I agree that adding creamy flavor instead of bubble gum might be easier. FA Meringue and TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato come to mind, at about 1% each.
