I think if you go less swirl, then might be more beverage. Not sure though.

Ruby Red Grapefruit
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.

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 @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.

Yip, be warned though, it's freekin weird. It goes from Grape to Cactus as you go higher in power. Andre doesn't like it.
It's a either you love it or hate it juices.
@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)

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.
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!
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.
Still waiting for someone to advise at which percentage I should use.
5 %
@Andre I see Grack won the Reddit DIY recipe of 2016. Maybe an indexing is deserving
Lol, with a disclosure, "You'll either absolutely love it, or absolutely hate it. No in between..."
