Description Tastes like toasted coconut or coconut flakes. I'm picking up a light cookie/crust note but nothing in the way of graham cracker. It's also very creamy for a cracker flavor. Really strange tbh. Reminds me of a coconut macaroon or something like that. Taking a whiff of the bottle, yeah its like a coconut cookie aroma. Taking a look at the component list on TPA website the first ingredient listed is 6-Methyl Coumarin which, you guessed it, tastes like sweet coconut.
Recommended Pairings
Coconut cream pie. Yeah this is like halfway there already. This would go great with any coconut flavor. I could see this working to help out key lime pies or something like that, its got the cream and a tiny bite of cracker thing on the back end. This would pair well with:
- almond
- banana
- caramel
- spices (cinnamon or cardamom)
- nuts
- chocolate
- creams/custards
- tropical fruits (thinking pineapple/mango)
- honey
- maple
- some citrus (thinking lemon or lime)
- rum
- peanut butter
- tea, especially green
- vanilla
Off Notes
the whole thing. its a creamy yet toasted coconut flavor.
Notes
Aside from this being completely off, I kind of like it. Even solo at this %, its creamy and somewhat complex. I will be using this eventually...
I'd keep this one between 2-5% depending how much coconut cookie thing you want.
Second Opinions
Someone on ELR says it tastes like cardboard, I could see that maybe at 5%+ but here it tastes fine. Not the greatest coconut flavor out there but its better than TFA's other coconuts imo.
Someone raved about this on BCF but nothing specific about it. They just say mixed with FA cookie and biscuit for an amazing vape. I'm sure they aren't wrong actually, could be pretty damn good.
Not a lot on this sub about this one that's why I decided to do a review.
Thanks for reading and please leave any notes you may have about this weird ass flavor.
Soon to come: my review about FE Avocado!
edit just some formatting
BTW the most authentic graham cracker I have found is CAP graham cracker v2, its got all the right spices. needs some more crunch but its there and its good. So if you came here looking for a graham cracker, go get it!
If you want Graham Cracker order the TFA Coconut .
Have you tried this ish?
By accident. I ordered a few DX flavorings and I really don't like them at all. It's like CAP V2 I guess.
This flavor was complete garbage for me. Bought it to try to replace Graham Cracker Clear. It failed miserably.
I appreciate you trying real hard to give it a fair shake, but let's be honest. The best pairing is the garbage can.
I agree 100% that it cannot replace GCC but I truly think it has some usefulness. It's a coconut flavor and a pretty decent one imo. To each their own, I think those looking for a decent and cheap coconut flavor could go with this. I really do not like TPA coconut or coconut extra, those flavors stay in your cotton and wicks forever. I had no problem vaping something else on the same coil as this one right afterward. It's actually not bad as long as you don't go crazy high on %. Thanks for the input though, I wanted to hear what people think; good or bad. =]
I like coconut extra, but honestly FA Coconut blows it away. And FA Coconut is already DX by default. That's my preferred go to coconut flavor.
I'm normally pretty happy with DX offerings. DX Peanut Butter was OK, but still far from the original. DX Banana Cream is good, but smells like barf. The 2 I just can't stomach are DX Brown Sugar and DX Graham Cracker. So the only 2 diacetyl flavors I still use are Brown Sugar Extra and GCC.
if you like coconut, you owe it to yourself to get FLV sweet coconut. You also owe it to yourself to try my recipe
