(I debated whether to put this here or in Recipe Requests, so somebody please yell at me if it should go there! )
I'm currently in search of my ideal "cherry" flavor, for either a standalone or to mix with other stuff, and after my recent discovery that my "perfect blueberry" is a blend of like FOUR different flavors , I figured cherry might work the same way. Here's what I've been vaping for a week or two; it must be OKAY, because I'm vaping it like a FIEND, but there's something about the cherry part of the juice that's just not *quite* right (and how hard is it to describe TASTE in words that other people can "get"?? ):
Black Cherry TFA 2%
Cherry INAWERA 2%
Cheesecake GC TFA 3%
Cheesecake TFA 3.5%
Meringue FA 1%
Ethyl Maltol TFA 1%
I did start vaping this one pretty quick off the bat, and the flavors have calmed down a bit after a week or so, but here's how I'd describe it: the cherry doesn't taste *bad*; I bumped the Black Cherry down from the 4% I tried in another recipe and found a little TOO cough-syrupy, and I liked the Inawera Cherry by itself at 2%.
I think the problem is that the cherry is too "dark" and not quite enough "sweet" - I added the Meringue and EM to address that, but maybe it's the cherry side of the equation that needs tinkering! What I HAVE in my current stash is Capella Wild Cherry, OSDIY Wild Cherrylicious, FW Swiss Cherry, and TFA Maraschino Cherry (which I have WAY overdone in the past, so am a little leery of); does anyone have a go-to cherry that includes any of the flavors I've got?
