Flavor Pairing

E-liquids Flavors

Flavor Pairing is a very essential part of cooking, mixed drinks, and now Ejuice blending. In our forum here I have seen mention here and there of favor pairing but no topic on the subject. I think the time is right for such a topic. Let me start with a favor that is often left out when seeing info on flavor pairing, BUTTERSCOTCH.

Butterscotch pairs well with as follows

Dark Chocolate, Banana, Brown Sugar, Cranberry, Cherry, Vanilla, Cookies, Nuts,
Coffee, Caramel, Whipped Cream, Whiskey, Nectarine, Bourbon, Pecan, Butter, Toffee

Enjoy…

Actually, yes, missed more than you can imagine most likely. I’m hopeing that others will contribute as well. This type of thread is a must in my opinion for those who blend ejuice. How many times have you wished you knew what to blend with that new flavor you decided to try?

I got most of my inspiration from the Vapers Table with the link below. And there were a few other flavor pairing articles, which I forgot to bookmark, damnit. But it all kinda makes sense when you look at a cook book now and then; someone has put it in print, so why not read, retain and mix.

Hey, what if they put a link on the resource page that gave a list of flavor parings. Something that they could easily add stuff to but that would make it easier to search for particular flavors. I know that mixing flavors is based on each persons taste but it would give people some ideas to start with. It would also be easier than trying to search for a flavor on a forum.

just a thought
