Ruby Red Grapefruit
RhUF6Yk.jpg

Already a firm favourite with @therazia and @rogue zombie, this for me is best described as "...a Ruby Red Grapefruit, with a vanilla cream soda chaser. It is juicy, creamy, and just a bit bittersweet.".

I found this gem of a recipe, with notes, here.

Steep for one week, says the creator.

RUBY RED GRAPEFRUIT
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.0 %
FW Ruby Red Grapefruit 3.0 %
FLV Pink Guava 2.0 %
FA Jasmine Natural 2.0 %
INW Vanilla Shisha 1.0 %
INW Cactus 0.5 %
INW White Grapefruit 0.25 %

Total Flavour: 12.75 %

I would never have thought Vanilla and Grapefruit would make such an amazing pairing. And the Jasmine, for me, is the cherry on top. I had 15mls of it yesterday :)
 
Hi @Rude Rudi @Andre @Soutie @RichJB - Please help - I've used Banana Cream DX TFA in a recipe and I want to boost the Banana a little more without increasing the Banana Cream %age. This recipe is such:

Fresh Cream FA - 4%
Brown Sugar DX TFA - 2%
Butterscotch FA - 10%
Bavarian Cream LA - 3%
Banana Cr'm DX TFA - 9%
Sweetener TFA - 0.5%

I need the other Banana to be a touch sweet when smelling the concentrate:
• Banana TFA ??
• Banana CAP ??
• Banana INW ??

Looking forward to your soonest comments.

Hi @Rude Rudi @Huffapuff @Andre @RichJB @Soutie - thank you for all your excellent comments earlier in this thread - copy @Rooigevaar

I collected some more flavours today from @Erica_TFM - Thank You for your excellent service and support - and the Banana Nut Bread practically smells exactly the same as the eJuice in the "Quote".

Now I have a better chance to make that recipe - Thank You all and will give some feedback.
 
I love Grack Juice.

Its weird. For the first 30 minutes of vaping it, I thought "what the hell did you do to my grapes?"
But I like its complexity. I love that it goes from "purple to green" as someone else described it (from grape to cactus), going up in power.

Its weird, but complex and refreshing, in a forgiving tank - I do not like dripping it.

@Rude Rudi right now I'm vaping it through a tank at 0.3 ohm, 45 watts... And it tastes like an exotic fruit with whispers of grape in a cactus juice. Weird and lovely, unlike anything I've tasted.

Sounds intriguing... I only drip nowadays and worried about ur comments... not at high wattage though - 50 or so. Will it be tolerable?

Ya, I think at higher watts, you generally "warm up" all the flavours quickly. So it's an usual, but intriguing juice, when all is absorbed at once. You get the Grape, then the Cactus... And a unusual exotic fruit exhale. So I think at higher watts, it's where the magic is...

... But it's definitely a, you really love it or hate it sort of flavour.

The good thing is, the INW Grape is imo the best grape out there. And Cactus with anything and Menthol, is a stunning pallette cleanser, so your concentrates won't go to waste.

P.s when I say higher watts, I mean I've see it change from 35 watts plus (what I consider high)

Oh yes that's something I wanted to ask. I see some flavours has DX in the name. What does the DX mean?

You know there's "next level" of cooking theories, that I've gotten to touch on. Certain things reach cooking temperature faster than others. Sugars burn quick, as do alcohols etc.

I THINK these theories overlap with vaping. Certain flavours, depending on their chemical composition, will "cook" or reveal themselves quicker in juices. In my mind that's why we taste certain flavours on inhale/ exhale etc. but I do not know enough about that to make statements.

But that's what's happening with Grack - at lower temperatures the Grape comes out, then the higher you go, the Cactus and others come out.

None of this means you will like it though:)

It is the very first Grape type juice I like though. Everything else grape was nice for five minutes for me, then I was over them.

It's Diketones Free, or something like that.

So, "safer" concentrates.

Problem is some of these DX flavours aren't as good as the original. And can vary in strength compared to the original.

Nice thread. Any coconut Pineapple recipe?
I'm not much of a fruity person, but I've made the following for a few friends and they like it quite a bit:
CAP Golden Pineapple @ 5%
TFA Coconut @ 1.5%
CAP Sweet Strawberry @ 0.5%

I made it at 35PG/65VG and let it steep for at least 2 weeks as initially the pineapple is just too sweet, but it all comes together with time.

The strawberry does not really add to the taste that much, it just enhances the flavour

I made the Grack Juice last night and just had a little taster... Yum!!!! I get the taste profile change thing you described! I drip so my W is a lot higher than yours...
I stated at 40W (I cant go any lower on 0.12 ohms) and moved up to 90W and found the sweet spot at around 60. Yes, the various flavours comes and goes beautifully here. I love Cactus and add to most of my fruit recipes for that little something "extra".

Nice and refreshing - a tad sweet (will lower meringue next time) for me but a lovely change from the ordinary!

The Dreamer Clone

TFA Ripe Strawberry 10%
TFA Peach Juicy 6%
TFA Pineapple 4%
Ethyl maltol 1 drop / 15ml (100ml I use 4 drops ) { my own addition to the original clone recipe I like sweet stuff }

*sweetener - have not used it yet as I like how the ethyl makes it a easy vape experience and rounds off the juice combination very well and also gives it a very smooth hit on the taste-buds, Sweetener will be an artificial sweet flavor where ethyl brings out the natural flavor of the fruit.

Steep 1 week minimum or max 2 weeks / Shake and vape can be done but recommend the steeping time

Do not substitute the strawberry I have tried everything, you can however use DX peach and DX pineapple.

this is a very sweetish vape with fresh fruit flavor, you can remove the ethyl maltol as it gives the sweetness of the natural fruits, you will taste the pineapple and can drop it down to 2% if you feel like it.

*warning for drippers this juice does not play well with other juices so i will recommend a clean wick when you move to anything else

Can I sub TFA Pineapple with Pineapple (Juicy)? and @ which percentage?

thnx
 
I would imagine that Juicy is what he means by DX Pineapple. Afaik TFA don't make a DX (diketone free) version of their original Pineapple, only a Reduced Flashpoint version which is the Pineapple (Juicy).

One thing I never realised is that we have all been using the Reduced Flashpoint version of one of the most popular flavours of all: Cap Sweet Strawberry. When BLCK got in their Cap and TFA no-flyers recently, the original proper v1 Cap Sweet Strawberry is among them. We have all been subbing with RF Sweet Strawberry. Even though the RF branding is very subtle (compare the two side by side), that's what we've been using. I'm not sure how much difference there is between the two but there usually is some difference, as between TFA Honeydew (very good) and TFA Honeydew II (not so good). FWIW ELR gives v1 Sweet Strawberry a score of 4.x, with only 3.x for RF Sweet Strawberry. I'd be interested to try some of the original Sweet Strawberry and see what difference it makes.

Good to know, thank you. I was wondering about the "rf" on my bottle of Sweet Strawberry. RF = Reduced flashpoint btw. I have no doubt there will be a difference in taste and/or concentration.
