Everything Taro

DarthVapor · January 28, 2016, 1:27am

I’ve wanted to branch off of the flora thread and create a thread entirely dedicated to my new found love, that is Taro.

I bought Taro ages ago and it ended up on my IMF shelf and remained there for way too long!! I couldn’t tell you why I never did anything with it in the beginning, outside of it just didn’t really sound good, kinda like Yam. When you think about it, vaping a potato just doesn’t sound that attractive…until you do

So my very first mix with Taro was my Taro card and to say it was a knock out of the park, is an understatement!! It sat in my steeping box for about 4 weeks when I finally decided to give it a go and it just blew me away! Thank god I hesitated a month before trying it, because Taro is not a shake and vape flavor, nor is it even half as good at 1-2 weeks. 1 month seems to be $, regardless of the mix.

For those of you who do not know, Taro is a actually a common name for several plants in the Araceae family which are used as vegetables for their corms, aka underground stems/roots. I won’t dig any further into the plant but if you are interested…

So the reason I have created this thread is to bring awareness to this phenomenal flavor, as well as, hopefully get some others to throw in their ideas!!

@Amy2 and I have been using this for some time now and we share the love for this flavor! It’s earthy, creamy, nutty, toasty, woody and the list goes on. It pairs great with creams of course (what really doesn’t though) and I will find out soon enough how it is with baccos…cough cough @Kinnikinnick

DarthVapor · January 28, 2016, 1:31am

Yes!! Bring it!! Haha, I’m just so damn addicted to this stuff, it’s crazy! I just hate the damn steep times!! Almost like synthetic tobaccos in that regard…
I have 20 more steeping at the moment but it will still be 4-5 weeks before I can try them :,(

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 1:33am

Damn, I don’t have the MF vanilla. What type of vanilla is it? I have so many but is it a Tahitian, bourbon, cream?

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 1:36am

The only Vanilla that can compare remotely would be Shisha Vanilla INW

DarthVapor · January 28, 2016, 1:38am

That would be what I would of used

Delosi SB? I have just about every SB but this one…BTW I just got INW SB finally… what do you suggest my dear?

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 1:39am

Go with a sweet strawberry to offset the startchy yamminess of the Taro. Proabably sweet Sb Caps

DarthVapor · January 28, 2016, 1:40am

Sounds good! 2%? or how dominate is the SB in this?

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 1:41am

Pretty darn prominent it stands out… I went w/ 4% on the delosi so I would imagine sweet SB would be in the same category.

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 1:43am

It hits like this first is Strong Taro/ cheesecake then the nougat and Strawberry with cream .

DarthVapor · January 28, 2016, 1:43am

Damn! I don’t think I have ever went that high with the SSB! I’m going to go make it though, with some variations as well!
I can’t remember if I have used nougat with Taro yet? If I haven’t, I’m going to smack myself for not using it!

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 1:45am

I have a while back it emphasizes the Taro to da MAX and I mean MAX that’s y the SB is up higher to keep up plus you have cheesecake beefin’ up the creaminess…

daath · January 28, 2016, 2:28am

Wow, great post! You should post it to /r/DIY_eJuice as well!

DarthVapor · January 28, 2016, 2:35am

daath · January 28, 2016, 2:42am

My first creation with Taro and Nougat.
I just mixed it tonight. It’s a good and very interesting SnV. Now the wait!
I find the aroma of Taro to be intoxicating. Earthy, nutty, creamy, some starchy sweetness there.
The flavor is as it smells. It should pair with nuts well. I hope anyway LOL

Have to give credit where it is due. DarthVapor has served as a source for inspiration to me on more than one occasion, and I am sure others as well. The imagination you bring to the game is amazing. Dude, your recipes ROCK!

bradslinux · January 28, 2016, 4:44am

Where would you put Vanilla (MF). Which is closer, Classic Vanilla (FA) or French Vanilla (TPA)? Or even Vanilla Tahiti (FA) or for giggles Ethyl Vanillin?

Amy2 · January 28, 2016, 4:52am

Out if those option vanillin because it’s more of a clean vanilla extract not one with nother flavor added like any of the others you named. Maybe vanilla classic come to think of it my do as well.

And to answer your question yes nuts do well with taro and nougat !

I didn’t put Taro in this one but its an older one of mine but I loved that the hazelnut just melded in w/ everything.
