I like this topic! Have a look here is an older topic that may (or not) help somehow.
Today I have a ‘‘weird’’ for my taste combo that I like, cappuccino, anise, cheesecake and shisha apple.
Shisha Golden Apple Inawera ~ 1%
Absinthe TPA ~ 0.5%
Caramel Cappuccino TPA ~ 0.5%
Cheesecake TPA ~ 1%

@Pro_Vapes I’m actually surprised how much I LIKED this, considering I can’t vape CAP VC ??? !!!

FLV persimmon with any stone fruit. Adds that nice "red or pink"ness that many stone fruits have closer to the pit…

Edit: works great with papaya as well

Usage 0.17-0.5% as an additive

I stopped pretending that I can’t vape certain flavors. Just consider how many people eat raw garlic or black pepper and yet it’s daily used in food recipes where it’s a big contributing factor.
I am no fan of VCv1 either, I hate it when that fake egginess comes through. Used in the right ratios with other ingredients and after a proper steep, it can turn out to be something really good though.

SFT can sometimes really turn people off because they get that raw food or straight up herbs effect. Always stay open-minded and who knows what great recipes come out of it.

Dragon Fruit and Strawberry, if it hasn’t been mentioned yet. Makes strawberry a lot brighter.

This is a staple additive on Reddit and AFT. I see this being used a lot to enhance fruit mixes.

I see a lot of the top rated recipes on ELR use that SB/DF Combo too.

Didn’t know it got chatter elsewhere and I never looked for combos here in the DB, whoopsie. I don’t do Reddit and not sure what AFT is (senior moment maybe?) I first thought of it because the first non-cigarette flavored juice I ever had was a DF variant and boy did I love it, even though I didn’t know why.

for an example of dragon fruit that works; and trust me I hate the stuff standalone. Explanation that may or may not be true underneath as to why it works.

Tempted to use the method with cheesecake and fuji suggested by @TheFlavorSeeker above.

What % percentage would you say to use Dragonfruit to brighten Strawberry? I can’t seem to really taste any Strawberry.

That’s too subjective with a lot of variants in play, but I’d probably say as a general rule maybe 80% strawberry to 20% DF? It’s tough because we know strawberries are generally pretty light, so it’ll take some testing for you to get to your happy place.

Thanks for the reply. Time to go experiment.

@anon28032772 I NOW (not before, just very recently) am inclined to believe this, and I thank @Pro_Vapes for proving it to me with his utterly delicious Choco Milk, that I should NOT be able to vape with CAP VC @6%, but I can. Not sure exactly HOW that is possible, but it goes to your point, exactly, and totally.

I’ll definitely give that a shot. I’ve got a few different strawberry flavors and so far I haven’t found a combination/percentage that’s anywhere near some of the commercial juices I’ve had and liked. I think I ended up ordering every flavor Wizard Labs had in stock with strawberry in the name last weekend to try and make some progress. I can definitely taste the strawberry in more complex recipes, but not being able to nail it as a standalone flavor profile has been driving me crazy.
