FA Guava

[aktorsyl]

What the HELL is this?
Guys?!
It's like someone put a very, very old bottle of Chanel No 5 into a pot of VG and boiled it with air freshener.

Please tell me it's not just me, cos I swear I'll need therapy if that's the case.

Yass this shit is awful.

It's not just you. From ConcreteRiver's Reddit flavour notes:

Flavor Description: @ 2%, like vaping Right Guard. Intensely musky. A warm floral, actually kind of tastes like sandwalwood. @.25% not a whole lot better. Same kind of warm musky notes, but I can maybe taste some juicy guava underneath there. There is a pretty subtle warm sweetness in there, but that top musk note sure is distracting.

Off-flavors: This tastes nothing like a fruit, guava or otherwise.

Throat Hit: Not really I guess?

Uses & Pairings: None. There is none. Don't screw with me here...

Or maybe, I guess, used at a super low percentage the musk note here isn't too super aggressive. It kind of reminds me of the slight musk you get off a green papaya salad. It may have a niche role if you want to well and truly nail a melon vape that kind of feels like eating, or at least having your face buried in. the rind. I'd use this about as low as you can measure for that. Like .05%, so it might be dilution time if you're dead set on capturing that melon musk.

Notes:

Yes virginia, it really is that gnarly. It's an interesting kind of gnarly... so that's something. It's probably the first concentrate I've had that reads this musky. It's like a cologne flavor, as weird as that is.

The DIY community sends out a pretty clear signal which are the best guavas via the number of recipes on ATF that use the different guavas:

Cap Sweet Guava: 365
Flv Pink Guava: 229
FA and FW Guava: 19
TFA Guava: 13

Lol your OP made me laugh @aktorsyl !

This is what scares me off from trying to make my own Guava juice - lol

Fa guava is like Shyte dunno what guava to use

 

[RichJB]

@incredible_hullk, Cap Sweet is probably the safest. I like the Loco as well if you want guava nectar.

There are only two public recipes on ATF that use FA Guava. I'm intrigued by this one. FA Guava, Bergamot, and Flv Lemongrass, among others. To be fair, the mixer does note:

it needs to sit 3-4 days, but after that it will be a taste you might not expect.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Might not expect and will never forget.

Loco Guava FTW

I have used it in a recipe and quite successfully so. However, that being said, it was at 0.2%

Very, very low note addition and it's okay

 

[Jones]

i've been using TFA guava at 2% with 0.5% menthol and its quite good
give it a shot

I've found one really neat way to use the FA Guava. Literally 2 drops in a recipe I'm working on. Got the idea from this recipe: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1091144/Slurricane CLONE

Well, me too. When you run out of pesticide, it works wonders in a pinch.

On a serious note - thanks for the link! That is actually quite interesting. (Link is private though?)

Thanks Fixed it.

This is just a copy of a recipe. I did not make that recipe. The on I'm working on is a lychee flavour and it's phenominal so far. Will release as soon as it's done 100% to my liking.

 

[RichJB]

That recipe says TFA Guava.

I only have FA Guava so I used it in this recipe. You'll see I stated that I got the idea from that recipe.

Ah OK, thanks for the clarification.
