Don't forgot Strawberry Banana

And chocolate, geeze, that could go with most fruits if you go by what real foods can be bought (ie, Chocolate Covered Fruit)

I tend to mix how I cook.
I have found some shockingly amazing pairings of stuff you not think would be good.
I had a couple of whoopsies during thanksgiving that turned out damned tasty as hell.

For example. coffee + apple juice in a rue makes one hellishly tasty and rich gravy that is kick ass for pork and poultry.. out of apple flavor so I have not been able to diy a juice.

Thanks everybody , you know i didn't realize it at first but after a while i did , i feel like an idiot because this is more for cooking and not DIY juice stuff . I got the first list from another vaping site but the second list looks to be clearly related to cooking which i didn't realize at first .

I mean c, mon , who buys celery seed flavor ( if anyone actually does buy celery seed flavor , please pretend you didn't read this) .

I knew it might be popular with people who are very new and really did not know what goes with what (like VH fan for instance) , but to the master mixers we have here on the forums they already know this stuff and i'm aware of that .

Anyways , thanks again my friends

@VH fan No fricking way!! it is a kick ass list and gets you thinking of flavors in a different perspective.
I just gave an example of a mistake that worked well in cooking that I have been waiting to try in mixing.
Actually have a copy saved to my notepad for when I get stuck to adjust something to but my brain is not working correctly.

Seriously thank you that list is damned good.

...this is more for cooking and not DIY juice stuff .

Useful to me, because that's where lots of my vape recipes begin: with real recipes and lists like these. It helps jog my creativity, though I don't feel obligated to stick to the rules.

(Celery seed, pepper, tomato is the start of a V8, so yeah, I'd vape that.)

If I could find flavorings that are spot on for some things I would use them.
Hell if I could extract the coffee i really like so it would taste like I would vape the hell out of it. But extracting it does not taste how the brewed does.
