Help making Mang Dem with few subs

Mang Dem - e-liquid-recipes.com

Trying to make a very mango recipe with a bit of ice and have heard good things about this recipe but I don’t have FE Mango, INW shisha mango, INW mango or TPA Cotton candy. Instead I have LA cotton candy, VT shisha mango and FLV Sweet mango so just wondering what percentages to sub them in at? I do have the rest, FLV mango, CAP Sweet mango, SS and WS-23

Just read the notes on all of them and start your trial and error. You have to experiment and see what happens. What one person thinks or believes might not translate what you like. Just start being a mad scientist and hope and pray

Here’s a suggestion ~ single flavor test your mango’s. Make 5 ml testers with just vg/pg and the flavor. That way you can adjust, or even create your own recipe with what you have on hand. Any recipe you see and have to sub flavors will not taste the same as the original. Only certain flavors, will a substitute work, for instance, vanilla’s, or ice creams. Things like mangos, guavas, shisha fruits, all have their own qualities depending on the flavor house. I’d start there. Single flavor testing is the biggest thing that’s helped me in DIY. Now, I know what percentage’s will work, what flavors to pair them with, and what place they’ll take in a recipe. Some flavors will have top notes, some you’ll need to layer (like strawberries or peaches, mango’s etc), what flavors you’ll need to use lower% (or higher %). Taste is ALWAYS subjective. If you know what your flavors taste like alone, you’ll be able to put together a decent recipe that you’ll enjoy. I know that 2% Peach (ripe ssa) and peach raw 1% (VSO ) make a really nice full peach. I can take those, add a cream, and I’ve got a nice peaches and cream.
Hope this helps ~ sorry for the novel, but I think single flavor testing really helps a mixer in building a recipe.
Also, if you’re curious about a flavor, look up Noted or Noted Dx on YouTube, the shows are flavor reviews by a panel of hosts.

@JABS I’m mobile, so I’ll just say it’s not impossible to sub the FE Mango, BUT, it is …

stellar !!!!

Mango (Flavor Express) 5% (12-26-20) – Lasty last one on deck from the generous folks over at Flavor Jungle (Jungle Flavors), and it is proving to be a lil’ Mango Powerhouse !!! I took Christmas off (as we all should), and picked back up today on the last Flavor Express flavor from FJ. Is is RARELY the case when testing flavors, that you can load a tank up, and on the FIRST VAPE, want to drop the tank, and write the review, right there on the spot. I had that impulse with this one, and NOT in a BAD way LOL. For me great Mangos are a rare breed, and most times need to be propped up with other flavors to really shine. This one, just didn’t seem to need much, if any help. Super rich and almost “creamy” on it’s own, and very, very full. Nothing off-putting, or overtly artificial here, and it felt super refreshing at 5%. You could almost feel the juice running down your hands as you got mouthful after mouthful of this yellowish-orange treat. Not having any “skin” to report, the fullness of this one could not be overstated, as it really hit just the right amount of darker, mid level, and a few high notes here. Just a full spectrum Mango assault on your senses. I’m about 90% sure this is what JF based their Mango Mafia on, and if so, a wise choice. I don’t fruit very often, but flavors like this, almost have me questioning that decision. ZERO issues vaping this one as a solo, and it left me wanting nothing. Man this is a good one (as the second tankful is being filled). For all you “fruiters” out there (and maybe some of you not YET fruiters out there), this one can fulfill your Mango needs for sure. What a roundhouse kick way to end off this series. Thanks again out to my friends at Flavor Jungle (aka Jungle Flavors) for making this happen. Without a fruity doubt, 10/10.

Your “novels” are so informative, so I wouldn’t apologize for the details that you provide.
