What are your unexpected (or not) flavor pairings that worked out

I bought one of these days to try TPA DK Tobacco, a concentration of five drops per 10 ml (I add in drops, since I am a noob). After two days of impatience, I tried and reminded me very much of the Glazed Donuts by Loaded (which I used for a long time).
Which flavor can blend well with TPA DK Tobacco?

There are some recommendations in the notes section. I like to smell a new concentrate about 6 inches from the bottle and just let my mind run with what might go well with it.

I have to say, also, that being a noob does not mean you have to mix by drops! If you have the ability to purchase a scale, I would do that as soon as you can. You’ll still use drops, but measure by grams on the scale. Cheers!

Could you give a starting point for concentrations?

0.25% Ace (Pazzo) (FA)
0.25% Lychee (TPA)

Taste - Gin Alcohol - Juniper Berries @ 0.50% total flavor total. Yes less than 1% total.

To me it does, unless you’ve been bitten by Lychee and can’t get it out of your mind.

Wish I got a hint out of the original poster of the combination, what do you guys think.
1% Fuji fa and 2% ny cheesecake fa?

@SuperFrog, i would do 2% to 2.5% Fuji Apple and ~3% NYCC – go up from there to your preference. i’m mixing with lower % flavors in the past few months (than what i did before :)). you can also add any side notes you like on top of these 2 for some twists (examples: whipped cream, graham cracker, …etc)

another accident :slight_smile:
FA Forest Mix (or is it called Forest Fruits?) 6% and FA Dragon Fruit (2%) - an “interestingly complex” flavor. (Edit: vaping this now :cloud::cloud::cloud:)

Grand, thanks so much. I wanted to mix it tonight you are just in time :unicorn:
Will do a simple Fuji and cheesecake as you describe first, let it rest 2 weeks and, if it works for me, I will do the apple fritter cds + cinamon + dragonfruit trick. Might add .7 of Catalan cream on a further batch for the burnt caramel.
Will also try the taro + honey described earlier, sounds like a good idea.

I’m sorry it took me so long to reply to this, but for the honey and Taro, I would suggest to use lower FA Honey. I found that at 3%, it took over the recipe after steep. I’m testing it now with 0,2% and another at 0,1%.

Edit : that’s supposed to be 0,3%. My mistake. Thanks for pointing this out @anon28032772 and @SuperFrog :+1:

I kinda like the one with 0,2% FA Honey better so far (4days steep)

Thanks, I see that you have put a comment on the recipe I created from that, it’s perfect. As I have mixed it as described in the recipe, I’ll leave it like this for now and adjust next time.

I can’t understand how people can vape FA Honey at those % (unless it mutes so high). It’s a very nice flavor, but this is one of those that perhaps should be diluted to mix with. If used at 3%, I would think it’s a typo and should probably be 0.3%

I mixed this one with it not too long ago


At 0.5% it was very much the dominating flavor.

The comment above should have read .2 instead of .3

An obscure reference to Hamtaro

Hamtaro is the ginger one with a leaf on its head at 0:30 if my memory serves me right

@Freddie3, let me know how it comes out.

@TheFlavorSeeker
Darn I messed up. to excited to get some FFM going when I first got it. Used TPA Dragonfruit, which sounds like its nothing like FAs which is more like the real fruit.

But I loved your thinking So I threw it in with Ace Pazzo when I mixed yours, another strange fruit blend. PPl taste tropical stuff with Ace But when I used it low I got In Your Face Juniper Berries in my mistake. That should be interesting. (Edit: I retract that… it wasnt a mistake. I like to mix up crazy stuff on purpose)

Sorry man i wasnt looking close enough.

I have a big mess going now since Lots r steeping outside of ELR. and moving away from ejuicemeup. So I only have to put them in ELR then download the Recipe CSV file and the Stash CSV file rather then manage 100 .rec and .rec2 files.
