Strawberry and Banana sure do go well together … :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That sounds very good. I recently bought Tuscan and haven’t used it yet. Is this recipes shared and if so can provide a link…? I’d like to try it.

It is public, here is a link. It was very good the next day but after a week the Apple INW is really coming through. This can be a good adv.

Flavor Affinities

pomegranates+almonds+cinnamon+cloves+garlic+ginger+honey
pomegranates +chicken+coconut+curry+onions
pomegranates +lemon+sugar

Obviously not all applies to making ejuice and pomegranate isn’t the best example but it gets the juices flowing (pun intended)

If anyone wants a specific flavor paired I would be more than happy to snap a picture!

For example

PEACHES (excuse poor quality, I was in a rush)

Not every flavor is in the same format and there is different information/tips with each flavor.

Pairing is essential when it comes to trying to create a new mix

I got this book as a pdf on my e-reader. I haven’t looked at it yet but I see that I should.
Thanks for the reminder :grinning:

I love it when I can’t think of anything!! It doesn’t have every flavor in it unfortunately but most definitely enough to get ya movin! The newer editions may may have been updated though, since mine is one of the first. It has all the basics for sure and a few exotic fruits. The one I have doesn’t have Acai or to my surprise dragon fruit but I’m fine with that, it has %80 of the flavors I have and the other 20% are things like Unicorn Vomit, Summer Clouds, liquid Amber…

I grabbed it last week for the first time in months because I hit a wall in my brain and couldn’t even think of one thing to make…

I didn’t even get to my 4th flavor and I already had written up over 50 new things! I really don’t know why I don’t use it more often, it was a breeze and actually a lot of fun going through it and pulling out ideas after ideas :smile:

I have had this book for years and years but it has been sitting on my shelf, buried in a mad amount of recipe books…totally forgotten about. I ended up downloading a pdf vr of it pretty much by accident when I started making juices and I thought I was just downloading a fruit pairing chart. It wasn’t until skimming over it for the day I realized it looked familiar :smile:

I will say and I don’t know anything about an e-reader but I much prefer the book over my computer on this one, which isn’t normally the case with me on things like this. Outside of the fact it is obviously portable, it is much easier to read and get to where you need to be.

An e-reader is like an electronic book, about the same shape, only thinner. I can take it anywhere I want and at the moment I have about 1500 books on it. It doesn’t weigh as much as 1500 books though :grinning:

They just need to have “book smell” in a spray bottle (screen cleaner) so as to make it a bit more real for me and then I’d get an e-reader! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That’s what I said about mods and tanks. Look at these cumbersome things, they don’t even remotely resemble a RYO, I don’t want that! :smiling_imp:

I had a couple of mini bongs that looked like our setups! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That’s the only reason I made the jump, because at least they looked like a bong and smoke like a bong :grinning:

My wife has a few kindle-nook-ish things and I have never really got into them myself. No disrespect to you at all, I think they are brilliant pieces of tech and extremely convenient, just not something I prefer for that type of media

You may be on to something there or design a case/screen protector for the kindles and nooks of the world to be book scented :copyright:
