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.

I skimped on the pun title because a pistachio pun is nut thing to be proud of.
Here's one I made a while back with FA Pistachio.

Wonder Flavours - Pistachio Cream I use it at 2-3% for Solo/Base but Needs 1-2 week steep to become a Coherent Pistachio Cream has a kind of green pistachio harshness before steep... I love it in u/humanpuck 's I Kheer U recipe @ 0.75%... This flavor definately needs a steep though the longer you steep this the more the green pistachio harshness dies down and what your left with is a very very tasty pistachio cream
Waynes pistachio ry4 u. Had to be mentioned lol

this looks familiar ??? =]
u/ID10-T gave me this recipe long ago and it’s been one of my ADV’s since the first time I vaped it. I now make it in 750ml Grey Goose bottles and always have lots of it steeping because it gets better and better the longer it ages.
If you like Pistachio or Butterscotch you gotta try this shit...
- 3% FW Butterscotch Ripple
- 2% TPA Pistachio
- 4% CAP Vanilla Custard
steeped as long as possible, at least a month
I think u/Shyndo 's recipie Karl Custard should be mentioned here. Using TFA Pistachio at 8% (when the "norm" seem to be around 3%), in my opninion is groundbreaking.
I made my own version based around his original idea; PistachiOMG if anyone would like to try it.
I tell you what. That PistachiOMG already looks awesome. Figure out how much DIYFS Holy Holy Grail RY4 that would need to do the same "work" in the recipe that TFA RY4 Dub is doing (I'm guessing 6 to 8% and just not giving a damn what that does to the overall flavor %), and you got yourself a deal.
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have Holy Grail RY4 as it's not easily available where I live, so can't test it right now. Also I am not sure if that cointains any EM, so that it will get the same masking effect as RY4 Double does? Just based off the average percentages I would say 6% sounds about right. If it actually does the same job I'm sure it will be even better with Holy Grail, seems like an amazing flavor from what I have read and heard.
