Just my opinion but I was very interested in that flavor profile... better off mixing it from scatch (I know that's harder but worth it) Don't know about SSA but most people agree FA sucks. I made a "throw together" (mostly pre-made juices) and loved it but still working on a DIY recipe for that.

that's funny because just about everyone here in this thread agrees that FA Tiramisu is pretty good, that's the entire reason I got it.

I never did post much except on the old suppliers threads but I started back in 2011. I have a fair post count not sure just how much but more than just a few. The threads I haunted were Volt, mount baker & BWB along wit a few posts on others.
So... welcome back (I've only been here a couple years myself) Love DIY and like hearing from people like you.

I never tried it but I have a unopened bottle of it in my stash. Its been sitting for awhile. I might have to try it soon. Is it good as a stand alone or any simple recipes?

eh laziness, here's some quotes :D

How I like it, meaning with what other kinds of flavors? Or how I used it?

I'm fussy with coffee vapes and only make them once in a while. However, I do think FA Tiramisu is more than just a coffee kind of flavor. I've used it more as an additive than as a coffee. As an additive it works well with bakery flavors, like cakes, at 0.25 to 0.75%. It adds another dimension to the overall profile of a cake.

When I made it as a coffee vape I preferred it at 1-1.5%. I used FA Fresh Cream or FA Vienna cream or FLV cream as a creamer. Which is weird cuz in real life I only drink coffee black, lolz. Every once in a while I added some caramel which turned it into a nice creamy caramel coffee.


Here are HIC's notes on Tiramisu...

FA Tiramisu (Booster)
Tiramisu (rightfully) has a reputation as one of FA’s best flavorings. It’s the bold flavor of strong coffee, dark bittersweet chocolate, creamy mascarpone, and a little vanilla cake. It's strong and just lightly sweet. Many people enjoy it standalone at 2% or less. For milder, sweeter tiramisu, use 1% Tiramisu with Vienna Cream, Fresh Cream, perhaps some fruits (raspberry! strawberry! apricot!), maybe Caramel, etc. Or make a sweeter, boozy version with Irish Cream or Rum. Tiramisu makes great coffee and mocha vapes!

Get all your cream, caramel, nut, vanilla, and other flavors to your liking, then add 0.5-1% Tiramisu to make a Starbucks-like coffee/mocha. If you like milder coffee or mocha flavors, try Tiramisu in place of FA Espresso in any recipe, generally at the same percent. Of course add a little Chocolate and/or Cocoa if you want mostly chocolate with just a hint of coffee flavor. Tiramisu can taste quite different with various brands of nic base! The "spicier" your nic base and the more PG you use, the stronger and rougher Tiramisu tastes.

----------------------

All that, now has me looking for my tiramisu so I can make something. :D

I like how it adds that 'something' special to a cake, or other bakery, mix. And that it also makes an otherwise sweet cake recipe less than sweet at lower %'s. Kind of like you use acai and rhubarb.

Never had SSA, only FA and I only use it as a booster for a coffee flavor...

If your wanting the tiramisu for the dessert flavor I honestly wouldnt know what you should get...

I hadn't mixed with it before so can't say much but all that talk about coffee I had to whip something up....

all this talk about coffee so thinking to mix some up

some coffee flavor and then mix it with condensed milk and sweet cream

siting here smelling the flavors
fa tiramisu smells nice like a good cappuccino with a shot of espresso
tfa coffee well smells like truck stop coffee, complete with that slight burnt smell
euro flavor white coffee smells like a french vanilla roast
pur cappuccino coffee smells weird, can't put my finger on it but not a coffee smell, more a sweet liquor
cap cappuccino v2 smells like when I was working in the gas stations refilling the cappuccino machines

given the smells I think I'll hold off on the condensed milk and sweet cream
think I'll try
fa tiramisu 5%
euro white coffee 4%
tfa coffee 1%

I'm still vaping this mix, rather enjoying it...it has a good coffee flavor but it's not quite a cup of coffee (close) more like an instant coffee mix
would be good to add to a cake, cookie, ice cream, or milkshake though.

Thank you! I'll try some solo next time I mix to test it.

The only mangos I've tried were TFA (sucks) and FLV (love it) Personally, I mix peach/mango and apricot(Thank you Anna for that suggestion) it just works and I love it.
I got TPA Mango for this recipe. Try it and use some of that TPA Mango up - Tamamango

Here's the recipe ID10-T refers to that also buries some TPA Mango in it - Oh My Mango.

More promising looking TPA Mango recipes

Highest rated TPAM on ELR - Mama Melons from Jennifer Jarvis - ELR /recipe/1083464
Another from JJ - Juicy Mouthgasm - ELR /recipe/867719/
but
TFA Mango sounds like something for the bin from #Noted (49:20)

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good morning. I’ve got a couple mango flavors but haven’t used them much.

    Looking at another boring day at work if nothing comes in today. I know I’m sounding like a broken record. It’s just ridiculous. I’ve never had this much slow time at work.

    Sounds like a good time for a day off.

    Good morning random folks:) Have you any plans today?

    My plan is grocery shopping...UGH.
    Just the usual for me. Work stuff and a couple errands. I also need to buy some wicking cotton. I have plenty of rayon but noticed I'm running low on cotton.
