Grapefruit and vanilla.

Papaya and cinnamon.

Strawberry and ginger.

Pear and rosemary.

Just a couple weird ones I thought of.

Pear and rosemary has caught me by surprise in a mixed drink before, I'm definitely going to have to try throwing this together.

by lNTERLINKEDover 7 years agoI did not ask for this flair.

Rosemary is really good with fruits. I used to make a cocktail with Rum, pineapple juice, lime, pear, clove and rosemary syrup. That thing was the shit.

Try blueberry ginger and sour.

I make a blueberry shrub (a kind of pickled fruit drink) ever year when they are in season (like 2-3 whole flats of blueberries worth). It's amazing, and if you can keep from drinking it, it gives the most awesome flavor blast of summer in gray February

Banana and clove is the flavour of the famous German weissbier. It's a great combo.

Clove is actually the type of aroma that is in a lot of banana flavoring to make it more authentic. It's called eugenol. You can thank Id10-t for that little tidbit.

can confirm thus. all I taste is cloves in a quite a few banana concentrates is cloves when I get anywhere close to the recommended %

Sounds very interesting. Wich tobacco and wich yoghurt do you use for this combination?

1 points
 
by JohnnyBravo555almost 8 years ago

TFA Greek Yoghurt and maybe an TFA RY4D based tobacco. I usually do something like..

TFA Greek Yoghurt- 4%

TFA Sweet Cream- 2%

TFA RY4 Double- 4%

INW Black for Pipe- 1%

FA Desert Ship- 1%

Eucalyptus & Mint goes very well with orange/mandarin/grapefruit.

Also Mint + Vanilla, not sure how odd that one is though.

Ooolala been looking for things to create with that inw eucalyptus n' mint thanks for the good idea. Vanilla swirl or shisha + mint&eucalyptus + blood orange or maybe mandarin?

Good with grapefruit too. Makes the sweetness in a grapefruit kind of burst/appear.

Anise and pineapple is amazing as well. I mix FM Drop with SOL Fresh Pineapple and a touch of FA Aurora and it's the bomb.

by Van_isle_lpalmost 8 years ago

Cranberry, anise and citrus is kind of my go-to when I make actual cranberry sauce at holiday time, so nothing fruity with anise is really a stretch. Gotta be careful with the anise flavour though as a tiny bit can really be overwhelming.

Melon and cucumber. Yeah, it works. I grew tired of it a bit quickly though. The one I tried is Vape Wild Starburst.

I've had melon cucumber salad and it is very tasty.

I don't like melon e-liquids though but my opinion is irrelevant because I hate mostly everything in vaping form

Melon Balls takes advantage of this awesome flavor combo.

RY4 and vanilla is a decent mix, strawberry, graham crackers, and Bavarian cream has been a mix that I liked. Still trying to get a good TFA Fruit circles mix down.

by wh1skeyk1ngalmost 8 years agoThanks for reading this flair

Try it with some FA Cream Fresh and TFA Dragonfruit.

I dunno if fruit circles is the same as fruit hoops by tfa but ever since someone said it tastes like lemon pledge I can’t vape it. I wish I knew a good cut wood birdbrains clone.

I vaped a few hundred mls of this. I mix 100ml for a friend every 3 weeks, like clockwork.

Mix that fruit circles with berry crunch. Vapeable

I’ll try it, I do have berry crunch. What ratio do you use?

jasmine and cardamom

What the heck does cardamom taste like? Haha diy has really broadened my horizons on learning about how different spices taste. A year ago I would have though anise was someone's name or their sister's daughter :P

Try my apricot/cardamom recipe: cotsel

by orangestreetlightalmost 8 years ago

looks good! I need to pick up FA apricot. would you say it's worth getting the juicy peach if I already have FA white peach?

1 points
 
by orangestreetlightover 7 years ago

I picked up the concentrates I needed for your recipe and mixed it up about a week ago. it's quite good!! very creamy and peachy with a touch of cardamom throughout. I'm normally not a big fan of fruity flavours, but I am now in love with FA Apricot and will be playing around with the apricot/cardamom pairing :)

1 points
 
by effRPaulalmost 8 years ago

I like lightly flavored liquid where I just get a whiff of the components (so keep that in mind).

I've been doing:

Cardamom @ .8% + Jasmine @ 2%

I have also added Clove @ .5% and FA 7 Leaves @ .3% and that works too

There was an original mix from Mount Baker Vapors waaaaaaay back in the day (like, months after they opened) that was like a lemongrass menthol something. Ingredients sounded like something you'd eat when stoned because that's all you had around.

Was pretty damn good. Kind of had a Ricola cough drop kinda vibe to it.

Pecan and lime can go together thanks to meringue. I made Key Lime Candied Pecans for /r/mixersclub and it got some positive reviews.

Thanks, apparently it was a risky attempt that worked out pretty well. I really liked the combo of INW Lime and FA Florida Key Lime.

Cream and tobacco, although i added some strawberry to it to really shine
