You guys are the Zest seriously. for making Lemon Flavor of the Week!
submitted over 6 years ago by ID10-TThe Kingmaker

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... Lemon!

How did that get to be the FOTW?

It was requested! If you're not interested in the upcoming FOTWs, please take this opportunity and comment to request one that interests you (or send me a PM to do that). Please request something more suitable for July than Eggnog; if you do, your request can cut in line ahead of that one.

Past FOTW posts can be found here

The NOTED podcasts, which are basically video FOTWs, are listed on this sheet, maintained by /u/apexified

Next week's flavor will be: Hard Candy

The week after that will be: Donuts

The week after that will be: Boysenberry

The week after that will be: Popcorn

The week after that will be: Pistachio

The week after that will be: Nut Mixes and Mixed Nuts (Macadamia, Walnut, Cashew)

The week after that will be: Anise and Black Licorice <--- I hate you OdieDoodah

The week after that will be: Exotic Spices and Spice Blends

The week after that will be: Plum

The week after that will be: Pineapple

The week after that will be: Mixed Drinks

The week after that will be: Passionfruit

The week after that will be: Rice & Horchata

The week after that will be: Guava

The week after that will be: Cinnamon

The week after that will be: Pudding

The week after that will be: Cucumber

The week after that will be: Dragonfruit & Starfruit

The week after that will be: Lychee

The week after that will be: Grapefruit

The week after that will be: Eggnog <--- date on this one might get moved down

#One more thing:

None of these flavors have been requested recently, I think some of them have never been requested. Maybe you just don't want them to be FOTW, and that's fine. But it's been brought to my attention that they haven't been addressed here in recent history. Here they are just in case someone wants to request them wink nudge:

  • Apricot
  • Custard Apples (cherimoya, soursop, guanabana)
  • Jackfruit
  • Papaya
  • Possibly other specific types of candy. Gummy candy has been done, hard candy is coming up next week, what about other candies?

This is my Cheaky Arnie. Its pretty tasty. I do plan on subbing Lemon Sicily for the Juicy Lemon.

|Company|Flavor|%| |:-|:-|:-| |TPA|Cherry Blossom|.5| |TPA|Juicy Peach|2| |CAP|Juicy Lemon|1| |LA|Lemonade|2| |FLV|Nectarine|1|

&#x200B;

The Juicy peach is a powerful peach and you get that and a juicy sweet lemonade on the inhale. The accent notes really bring this thing together though. The FLV nectarine adds a little bite and some dryness and cherry blossom gives you that nice floral exhale, which gives off the tea vibe. This will definitely be my recipe of choice on the golf course this season!

FE Lemon.

We’re done now right?

Anywhoo. I’ve got a recipe with FE Lemon that is friggen awesome.

#Long Beach Island (LBI)

  • .75% FLV Basil

  • 2.5% FE Lemon

  • 3% LB Vanilla Ice Cream

  • 2% TFA Vanilla Swirl

I didn’t think vaping Basil would be enjoyable, but it really is in its own weird ass way.

Yeah, FE Lemon is god-like among lemons. Mostly because of the way it works with bakeries. That is a lot Basil but I too find vaping it can be very enjoyable.

If you're looking for something else to do with it, I have a few suggestions:

I found with the basil it tends to fade/settle out pretty quickly, so after day 2 or 3 it’s super subtle which I didn’t want to happen.

Some tinkering with it, it was too week at .5% and when I got ballsy and did it at 1% it felt like I went out to the neighbors garden grabbed a handful of whatever i could find threw it in a blender with vg and dripped it on my coils.

That strawberry basil one looks really good. I’m gonna add that to my list.

I’m not sure i want to bring ooo pickle into my home....

I'm eating Thai Coconut Peanut M&Ms right now it it's making me want to see what happens if I try to mix Basil and Coconut with Chocolate.

PLEASE do a cinnamon week!!!! I picked up rich cinnamon for the 007 cola recipe and it just smells/tastes incredible. I've been trying to finangle it into any recipe I can honestly. I'm working on a hot apple cider with it right now.

Also you're hired to help write the title that week. The pay is nonexistent and the boss is a jerk, but hey, if you do a good job, you'll cause people near-physical pain with your punniness and if that's not a perk I don't know what is.

I'm surprised no one ever called the reddit pun-police on you.

literally its a real reddit group you don't want to mess with cuz they will spam your thread.

then call punspecialforces and if your really unlucky puninternalaffairs then you'll be

on the punnewsnetwork.

the list actually goes on... which is why I won't link their group.

your welcome

edit: oh the group is actually called punpatrol

If they find out how long FOTW has been going on and how terrible some of the punny titles have been they might stroke out.

by juthincover 6 years agoI improved Grack and all I got was this lousy flair

Hmm... what category of flavor would the various aloes fall under?

And would Cinnamon be for bakery cinnamon or candy (red hot) cinnamon? (So FLV Rich Cinnamon or FLV Fire Cinnamon)?

Other than black cherry jellybean, are there many jelllybean flavors, enough to have a fotw? How about Jell-o?

And I remember someone once asked about a starfruit flavor... do any of them even exist?

Aloes - vegetals

All the cinnamons that are separate from rolls and danishes and cookies and such.

That's the only jellybean I know of.

WF is has a starfruit, not sure if anyone else does.

Cucumber?

You're saying you want to do cucumber FOTW again? It has been two years since cukes had their own week and over a year since they got a lot of talk on "vegetals" week.

I would love a lychee FOTW. Lychees are my jam and the closest I've ever come to an ADV was a bubblegum lychee menthol

I see that there's already been a FOTW for Donut, but what about Frosted Donut? Is it a lot different than normal donut? I recently received a free 10ml batch when I ordered some other flavours online and I'm really curious what one could do with that.

Also:

|Company|Flavor|Percent| |:-|:-|:-| |TPA|Lemon II|0.9%| |TPA|Peach|3.6%| |TPA|Raspberry, Sweet|1.8%|

A friend of mine recently requested it. He praised it after trying, so I wanted to share with you. I haven't tried it myself yet, so I don't know, but the Lemon probably only plays a supporting role in this mix. Give it a try if you want and tell me what you think of it :)

We'll have donuts again again week after next, including frosted donuts and chocolate donuts and anything with donut in the name.

My favorite lemon recipes

Cajolery by kindground (I've probably vaped 2 gallons of this over the years). Uses the old Inawera Lemon. You can sub with FE Lemon, MF Lemon, or even Hangsens lemon for an orangish twist. https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/55462

There was a separate FOTW that was just for lemonade not too long ago, but it's a free country for you to talk about whatever you want.
