Gorgeous Fruit by lirruping

FA Pear 3%
JF Honeydew 3%
FA White Peach 1%
TFA Strawberry 2%
*TFA Strawberries & Cream 1%

If you're familiar with TFA Honeydew, you might look at the relative percentages and think this is an overwhelmingly melony flavor, but using Jungle Flavors Honeydew, it's not. If you only have TFA Honeydew, you might take the percentage down to 0.25% and try that to start.

My result is a balanced, fruity melody that does not become flat or muddled--each flavor stays somewhat distinct and FA White Peach (magical stuff) amps everything else up a bit. The TFA Strawberries & Cream lends a lovely and unexpected slight buttery undertone. The only possible downside I can see is that this will be too sweet for some people--it's really very sweet. I use a third less of everything and still experience a full flavored juice.

*Strawberries & Cream has butyric acid < 1% and butyric acid 2-methyl < 0.5%. I detect no pukey flavor in this amount

On my list for my day off tomorrow! Bet I've been through 60ml of Flow State, there's always a bottle of that on my desk!
Odd, I was just telling someone a few days ago that I didn't care for the strawberries and cream standalone at all, but I thought it would be good in a mix. ;)

I'm honored you're my guinea pig two times in a row!
You don't have the JF Honeydew, do you? I only bought it because the store was out of TFA, but I'm really liking it. Remember, if you're using TFA, it should *not* be honeydew dominant. If it ends up that way just slightly, I found I can knock it back into the original balance by adding one additional percent of TFA Strawberry.

There's something really surprising and special to me about the way all these flavors happen together. Here's hoping you like it :)

I have tfa and diyfs, hopefully one of them will do. I really like the diyfs, tastes just like fresh melon. If this is half as good as Flow State, it's a winner! I'm happy to be your guinea pig. :D

I don't have tfa strawberry and cream. Do you think I can increase strawberry to 3% and some cream base I use? Also, I only have tfa pear. Use 1% for that?

I'm guessing about the 1% with TFA Pear cause it's notoriously strong. I mentioned it because it seems to be the pear flavor most people have. 1% seems like a safe place to begin and I was thinking you could kind of adjust from there, if needed, until you have a balance of all the fruits.

As far as cream base, I would not say the 1% Strawberries & Cream makes this a creamy vape. It's more like a minor buttery undertone. Maybe @teresa can chime in on this. I don't think it would be bad, however, with a little fresh cream. I dunno...I guess my advice would be to try it without the S&Cream, see what you think, and go from there. Hey, maybe a drop more Strawberry and 0.25% CAP Vanilla Custard V2 would be a good sub for the S&Cream--thr v2 has butyric acid. It would add a little vanilla flavor, but that might be nice.

Your original suggestion sounds great. Try to let me know what you end up doing & how it is!

I think the strawberries and cream enhances the strawberry more than the cream. I don't get much "cream" flavor vaping the s&c standalone, but a drop or two of vienna might give it a "creaminess." I don't taste cream in the final mix as written, just a burst of fresh fruit. I honestly think I'd skip it or just use another brand of straight strawberry in its place.

So I made your stuff but with the modifications since I only have TFA honeydew and TFA pear. TFA honeydew at 1% is way too strong. That stuff is ridiculously strong. If that is what you are using I think I would have to suggest a 0.25% starting point. As far as the pear, I don't know since the TFA honeydew has overpowered the mix. I did 1% TFA pear but I am thinking it may need to be a bit more tp match what you are trying to do. I won't know unless I try another batch with less honeydew. I may try a batch without honeydew to see how that is and then add the seriously reduced honeydew, based on how it tastes.

I still can't believe how strong TFA honeydew is. Reading others who use up to 5% of that. I don't see how they can do it and like what they are vaping.

Thanks for the feedback about the TFA Honeydew substitution! I'll add something in the OP.
