I haven't done anything featuring pear in a while. Came across a pear crumble slice recipe earlier. Looks mighty tasty to me.
Already have some ideas for it. Need to write-up a recipe.

Pears are a mild tasting fruit IRL. FA Pear is really good. I have SSA Ripe Pear and WF Ripe Pear but have not used those in a bakery mix yet. I'll likely pair one of those with FA pear, to boost the overall pear profile, for my crumble slice recipe.
A few years ago I made Commodore Pearry, one of the Charlie Noble recipes Matt released. It's a really good pear forward recipe.
TPA Pear 6.5%
FW Bavarian Cream 3.5%
CAP Vanilla Custard v2 3.5%
CAP French Vanilla 1.5%
CAP Coconut 1%
FW Caramel Candy 0.5%
The second time I made it I subbed some flavors and lowered the %'s to my liking. I used FA Pear (1.75%) for the TPA, FA Coconut (0.5%) for the CAP and used CAP VC v1 (1%). Lowered FW BC to 2%. Kept the CAP FV and FW CC as is.

The Not-So-Discontinued Series: Commodore Pearry
Apr 26, 2017
Welcome back to the latest installment of our occasional series, featuring some of the Charlie Noble flavors that have been discontinued, but never forgotten! I had a plan for the order of the recipe releases, but Commodore Pearry has been far and away the most requested, so ask and ye shall receive.
When Commodore Pearry was developed, I had been working on several different flavor concepts for a few weeks, and just wasn’t in love with any of them. There was a lot of potential in a few of them, but nothing was popping. After making another dozen or so variations, I decided that maybe a break was what I needed, get some food, find something else to do for the rest of the day. I ended up in a Latin market, and saw a can of pear nectar. Light bulb moment. Realized that I love pears, I love pear nectar, and I hadn’t had a good pear e-liquid in quite a while. Bought a few cans of the juice, bought a few pears, and headed back to the laboratory with the beginning of a concept.
Obviously, Commodore Pearry didn’t stay as a straight up pear nectar flavor, but instead shifted to a creamy, silky, pear e-liquid. There are a few reasons, mainly that we were still in the middle of the cream/custard era of e-liquids. Also, a strong pear flavor can develop a ridiculous throat hit without something to balance it out. Remember, we’re talking about the era of mechanical mods and RDAs being the dominant hardware in the vape world. Hence, the birth of the Commodore.
On to the recipe!
TPA Pear 6.5%
FW Bavarian Cream 3.5%
CAP Vanilla Custard v2 3.5%
CAP French Vanilla 1.5%
CAP Coconut 1%
FW Caramel Candy 0.5%
Pear [TPA] – Just a great all around pear. FA makes a truer pear flavor, Capella makes a sweeter pear, but TPA pear is just a wonderful, full, juicy, pear flavor. This is also my favorite pear to use to complement other fruit flavors to fill out a recipe, or to accentuate an apple note in a liquid. I really wanted to keep this recipe simple, layer the flavors nicely, and give everything room to breathe and work with each other. This percentage is kind of high, unless you’re going to balance it with some dense creams…
Bavarian Cream [FW] – yeah, Flavor West. I have my issues with them, but the flavors they do right, they do REALLY right. This is the beginning of the cream base, and it works wonderfully with the other 3 parts. This has a wonderful dense mouthfeel, and brings the cream notes without being overly sweet. I tend to use this in equal portions to the other main part of any self-respecting cream base…
Vanilla Custard V2 [CAP] – c’mon, man. You had to know this was going to be the next ingredient. The gold standard of custards. ‘nuff said. This fills the rest of the cream out, and rounds out all of the other flavors. I might use some V1 if I was making it for my personal use. Maybe.
French Vanilla V2 [CAP] – Vanilla pairs wonderfully with pear. So we have a strong pear flavor, balanced it with a rich cream base, and now we need to get the accents in place to make the flavors really start to pop. A little bit of French Vanilla works perfectly here. Give the note to play off the pear, and to lay nicely with the creams. Just enough to be noticeable, but not enough to try and steal some of the spotlight.
Coconut [CAP] – The old liquid maker’s trick, a tiny bit of coconut to make anything dairy related taste a little bit more realistic. Just a touch, you don’t want to actually taste coconut.
Caramel Candy [FW] – Just some more accents, and caramel pairs amazingly well with both pears and vanilla creams. This is a strong flavor, so once again I’m only adding enough to play the part of highlighting the other flavors, but not enough to become one of the forefront flavors. I want it to blend into the background, and be another component that ties the entire recipe together.
There it is, Commodore Pearry! One of my favorites, and it’s wonderful to be able to share the recipe with all of you.

I may try your subbed recipe, minus or subs for the last two flavors.
I think the only pear flavor I have is MB shape up pear. I don’t remember if I ever tried it.
Good morning, TARTARAand hittman. 
I woke up bout 2 again but thankfully got back to sleep pretty fast.
We got freezing rain last night and my youngest had to drive home in it after getting off work at 7. She spun out on a bridge but was ok with no damage. There were accidents all over. I don’t understand why the roads weren’t treated.
Good morning random folks
I have my new tank soaking and cleaned out a couple review pods. I have a review to post later.
They’re fairly fast treating the roads in these parts.
Is that your new tank or a review one?
