The Flavor Apprentice Papaya
vape_account
Setup: Derringer RDA, Single 7 wrap 26g 3mm Kanthal Clapton @ 1.08 ohms. 42w power, Koh Gen Doh cotton wick.
Testing: TFA Papaya @ 1% 70/30 VG/PG, Steeped 0 days.
Flavor Description: Wow, interesting top notes that almost come off as fermented, yeasty peach. Flavor rounds out to a more typical guava/papaya flavor. Pretty much spot on papaya. It reminds me of a tropical starburst sort of flavor/mouthfeel with a twist of ripe as fuck peach thrown in.
Off-flavors: Typical papaya funk at the end, but if you enjoy papaya you'll enjoy this.
Throat Hit: 1/10
Uses & Pairings: Thinking this could stand up to some boozy or minty pairings. Might play well with Kiwi or Cactus. Maybe a papaya lemonade would work.
Notes:
I'm afraid to push this over 1% as it is a very strong flavor. I could see this being a polarizing flavor with some finding the weird peach notes a turn off. Call me weird, but I kind of enjoy it. As previously mentioned, it does have that papaya musk finish.
Second Opinions: Echoing the musky finish
The reason I actually picked it up was to make this fairly well reviewed Monster Melons clone.
