It's time for the most Mango nificient Flavor of the Week!
submitted about 7 years ago by ID10-TWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!

Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

#This week's flavor is: MANGO

How did that get to be the FOTW?

Whoever made all the mango flavors enjoys their mangos unripe and eats them skin on.

Skin's not too bad to eat, especially with the small green sharp/sour ones (not sure what they are called in English).

Just bought CAP Sweet Mango, FA Mango, and TFA Mango. I already have TFA Philippine Mango. I just tried combining CAP Sweet Mango, FA Mango, and TFA Mango and boy is it sour as an unripe mango.

Would adding flavor additives such as Meringue or Marshmallow or Sweetener fix this?

How far can one MANGO with these silly puns?

There is also Malaysian Mango by health cabin.

(sweet) Mango by Vapor Train (sold on chefs as just "mango")- although it's currently out of stock.

Reka also has 2 other mangos they showed off at vapejam UK, Ripe Mango and Alfonso Mango. I've been trying to get my hands on them, messaging reka directly even, but it would appear they have not released them publicly to resallers as of yet.

Also, the super concentrate (not real flavors) have a mango which isn't too bad.

I've been waiting for this noted episode for forever, I can't wait to hear all your breakdowns on these :) u/ID10-T

Somehow I have 37 Mangoes but no HC Malaysian.

It's pretty solid. I don't know if it's ground-breaking, but it fills it's role quite well (sort of like a mango nectar drink). DIY Vapor Supply was the only place I could find it

I also really want to try sweet mango by Vapor Train, as VT has been nailing their flavors- mangos included- and some discussion on the ELR Discord indicates that it is a very good ripe mango. Have an alert for when it gets back in stock at chefs, they said they are waiting on a shipment

Wow, no one reviewed MF Mango? I find it to be very accurate and broad providing both the flesh flavor and the pinene flavor of the rind, i.e. You taste the green.

Yep - no review on Reddit. I added links to the little info on ATF and ELR. You could always add YOUR review and let everyone know how great it is (hint-hint).

I will try to get my mixing and tasting skills up to snuff for posting reviews, seems like the average person here has a lot of experience!

One of my favorites that has changed over the years. Also posted under my account on ATF.

Skinny Dipping

  • INW Banana - 3%
  • FA Coconut - 3%
  • FA Mango - 2%
  • FA Passion Fruit - 1%
  • INW Pineapple - 1%

FA Coconut is kind of tame, and I'm looking for a bit more. Have INW Coconut to try, but haven't gotten to it yet.

by Prometheus_unwoundabout 7 years ago

I’m a big fan of FA coco, but it is super starchy. Sometimes I’ll work in FLV Sweet Coconut to get a juicer, more forward coconut that plays better in recipes that lack a cream component.

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried FA Mango. My second mango ever was FLV, and I guess I’ve never felt the need to supplant it.

by cexshunabout 7 years ago

I adore FA Mango. Like most FA flavors, it's very true to life. I'm not a big fan of FLV as it comes across very artificial/candy like. A perfect example is watermelon. FLV watermelon tastes like artificial watermelon candy, FA watermelon tastes like a real watermelon.

But yes, what you are saying about FA Coco is exactly what I was getting it. It's not that classic juicy coconut flavor. It's more like a mouthful of shredded coconut. I'm hoping this bottle of INW coco will do the trick.

I love INW coconut, to me it's more like coconut milk

Mango lychee has been my adv pretty much since I started mixing.

3% Cap Sweet Mango

1% Cap Sweet Lychee

.5% FA Mandarin

The lychee is very tart and somewhat floral, you don't need much. Mandarin adds a hint of citrus, and the Cap mango is okay to begin with but not really mango, you know? Together they're great.

Inspired by novavapes?

Oh, wait, no I've never tried NovaVapes, I'm US based. It was a clone of some Filipino company's Mango lychee.

Inspired by someone's clone of something. I have no idea who to credit for it, but I know I made changes.

After trying Naked Mango I ordered way too many mango flavors. I like INW and FLV the best. Coulda skipped the others. I didn't get Capella tho. I suppose I could get it, if people think its that good.

3 points
 
by SmoothVillanoabout 7 years ago

Capella sweet mango is really good but it depends on what kind of mango are you looking for. I'm south american so I know my mango pretty damn well and for me the best one is Capella's and I've tried all the mango concentrates under the sun.

No single one is going to be that great on its own. You have to mix them all and experiment to get to where you want.

I’ve been trying out other fruits in my Fuji Funk recipe. I’m really liking this mango version. It’s my second submission for mixers club this month.

Mango Funk

Cactus (INAWERA) .25% Elderflower .25% Hibiscus (CAP) 1.00% Mango (Flavorah) 1.25% Pink Guava (Flavorah) .75% WS-23 1.5% Yakima Hops (Flavorah) 1.25%

Just curious... INW or FLV elderflower? I might try that with something better for the fruit, like a black currant.

1 points
 
by Rileyswimsabout 7 years ago

Flv elderflower, but the INW would work too. Lmk how the black currant goes! I’ve been smelling the bottle and considering it here too.

by juthincabout 7 years agoOne of "The Damned"

Yeah. Waiting on pink guava. Other than that, I'd definitely mix it up tonight.

been trying to clone horny mango, not even close. I live in the philippines, I know the mango, haven't vaped one that was close.

Have you tried the Wreka or Reka (same thing) mangoes?

1 points
 
by DreadPirateSnufflesabout 7 years ago

Not having tried horny mango, I can't speak to it's authenticity, but I mixed up a horny mango clone I found on ELR that was quite good. I've since ammended it more to my liking- but those renditions may have strayed away from the accuracy to the original horny mango. http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1514632

Off topic: Do you have Flavorah flavors? I've read that FLV Mango is the best from previous FOTW. /u/ID10-T, for one, really loves it. However, there seems no supplier of Flavorah flavors in the Philippines.

Ok. So mango is basically peach+pinesol. Some mango concentrates just taste like peach, are there any that don't have that horrible flavor and are pure pinesol? That might be worth trying.

It doesn't have any peach in it?
