Happy almost New Year! This is my final recipe of 2019. Something nice and tropical for the winter!!
Non-traditional POG ... PPOG with my own added flairs to enhance a few qualities. Give it a try and comment
​
- PUR Passionfruit 4.5%
- CAP Sweet Guava 4%
- CAP Golden Pineapple 2.5%
- TFA Pineapple 0.5% (optional if you don't own)
- FW Blood Orange 1.5%
- VT Fizzy Sherbet 0.5%
- FA Coconut 0.4%
- INW Cactus 0.15%
- Sugar Daddy 0.5%
​
PUR Passionfuit is my new Black Friday pickup. Has a great flavor and gives a ton of range to the recipe. Slight offnote on exhale which the next flavor helps to make it work
​
CAP Sweet Guava is the thick syrup layer. Is very tasty, but requires some strong counters to not overtake the recipe
​
CAP Golden Pineapple helps build out the top layer and bridge the acidity of the Passionfruit. Creates an immense lift to the recipe
TFA Pineapple boosts this further adding an 'edge'. Both are kept low enough to not increase harshness.
​
FW Blood Orange lacks that edge but has an amazing deepness to it. I kept it lower to limit clashing in the middle.
​
VT Fizzy Sherbet is a citrus accent and could be swapped for something you normally use in this context
​
FA Coconut, when used low, does not impart much flavor, especially with all these big players in the mix, but it adds a silkiness to the vape which helps keep the citrus notes from running rampant.
​
INW Cactus is to aid in the 'wetness' of the drink but also seems to accent the Passionfruit
​
Sugar Daddy can be swapped for anything you prefer or own. I find the recipe isn't over-sweet even with the large amount of Guava
​
​
Hope you like!!
CAP Golden Pineapple is not a sharpness remover/acidity remover imo. It's a very unforgiving POS that we use and abuse quite a lot. Pretty confident this recipe can omit it + TFA Pineapple altogether via either an emulsifier or a lowering of specific %.
You keep talking about giving edge, taking edge, adding juiciness, removing juiciness and frankly what I see is a mix of various things serving the same function. Why not remove INW Cactus and add more fizzy sherbet or the other way around?
Adding silkiness can be achieved once more via emulsifier too...
I don't have PUR Passionfruit but I'm pretty sure you can cut most of the enhancers and work around with the rest. Currently it sounds like way too much work for stuff which will fade away...
Still sounds lovely tho!
P.S: you could also mess with FA Aurora in some % to be your citrus/edge/silkiness!
P.P.S: further read of my comment makes me feel like I was basically saying "it's not good" which is not what I mean, just saying. Just offering ways to cut down on the amounts of different juice used to simplify this a bit
I actually built this prior to getting passionfruit and it really didn't have the anything compared to this experience.
Golden Pineapple isn't removing anything, it is missing any real citrus element by itself. Bridging is bringing two layers together so they do this:
The passionfruit has a real heavy tart edge. The 🍍 sits at the same layer, which carries that note instead of leaving it hangin there. So the two balance each other...
Don't have Aura, but I have had plenty of success using VT Fizzy to kick some flavors in low percents. I don't doubt this could be brought up to 1.5% for a slightly different recipe
I wasn't going for Dragonfruit and fully muddling the layers, hence the idea for 🥥 it works very well to give a tongue-coating feel.
May seem to have excess use of enhancements... just using what I have and the experience with those flavors. PUR Passionfruit is the only good brand from all the research but it still has quirks to enhance/shift into other profiles
None of the top mixers seem to have a POG worth acknowledgement. I think the recipe itself is unbalanced and 🍍 perhaps is the key.
Fair I figured that's what you meant by bridging acidity since golden pineapple seems to run away from a recipe very soon after! Heh I wasn't judging there are recipes with more ingredients than this, I was just giving my 2 cents
P.S: Dragonfruit I dislike as an emulsifier, feels like candy cane EM. I recently received a wrong item which was Pink Fruit instead of Pink Guava by FLV. Best emulsifier ever. 0.5% of that imparts nothing but a bit of light creaminess while emulsifying flavours. Beautiful little enhancer which I recommend highly now!
Ah, ya. I am missing a ton of well-used Flavorah. Finally got some key players from 3 companies that I never had any from. It's always tough reading recipes and knowing that I'm missing a superior version.
I do have a habit of overcomplicating things lol, so I will play around a bit more with this (although 2 out of the 3 in that category are likely keepers)
If you have the other main ingredients, definitely pickup PUR passionfruit, it really does make this recipe.
