is this a clone attempt at cactus jango? Picked up a lot of the same flavors in it.

I wasn't trying to make a clone attempt but seems like it's close enough.

#3 by Ghettotrout, Sep 20. 2017, 04:52

I haven't mixed yours up yet, gotta order the pineapple, but it seems like I may have found a good use for mangosteen (FA?) lol. Papaya is TPA i'm guessing too?

#4 by Hooba, Sep 20. 2017, 06:34

Yes it is TPA. Let me know what you think and if it can be improved upon.

I've been vaping it all day today. Had to sub out the LA pineapple, went with CAP golden, so i'm not sure how close it is. Also only left it for an overnight steep. But here is my undiluted opinion on cloning accuracy;

I think the mangosteen is probably around double what it needs to be, i found it pretty distracting and tended to overpower everything else.

The lychee is probably too low as well, I don't taste it at all, but that could be from the mangosteen. same goes for the papaya, but I'm not certain it's in cactus jango at all.

The cactus could use a boost as well, probably up to .75-1%

I'd also drop the super sweet down to .5-.75% but thats kind of a subjective thing.

Great work so far, hope my input is any help to you. :D
I'm going to keep playing with this as well, cheers for doing most of the leg-work lol

Just wanted to jump back here and say that the mangosteen is actually where it needs i think. After a few more days it has dropped in the background a lot. I think the LA pineapple probably helps a ton in making the other suble notes pop as well. Going to get LA pineapple in this week and I'll mix it up again.

#7 by Hooba, Sep 30. 2017, 22:51

I think I need to cut down on super sweet a bit otw I'm fairly happy with it as it stands right now. I had it steeped for two weeks though. Maybe you will like it better after 2 weeks.

#8 by Ghettotrout, Oct 1. 2017, 01:48

I don't think it'll last. I do like it. Didn't mean to give the impression that I don't enjoy it haha. It's good, just mangosteen is really overpowering at first to me. But like I said I think it just needs a few days to settle, and the LA pineapple is probably what I'm missing to brighten it up. Cap Golden is probably too sweet.

It's really sweet, but all the tart notes kind of need it to balance out.

#9 by Hooba, Oct 1. 2017, 02:56

im going to try mixing it with golden pineapple just to see how different it is. Really appreciate the tips you gave in your earlier post.

#10 by Ghettotrout, Oct 1. 2017, 21:25

Take everything I say with a grain of salt lol. I'm no expert by any stretch.

Have you tried cap sweet guava or fa passionfruit in any of your earlier iterations? both give a nice tropical feel... I'm not sure if they're in it or not, not very familiar with them. new to my flavor stash.

#11 by Ghettotrout, Oct 21. 2017, 01:40

After getting LA Pineapple and remixing with the correct ingredients (lol) It's MILES closer. I can't believe how much the LA Pineapple does to boost the sublte notes and tone down the mangosteen, its shocking.

So anybody reading this thread please ignore all my previous posts. So damned close to Cactus Jango. Well done Hooba!

#12 by Hooba, Oct 21. 2017, 03:07

Glad you enjoyed it.

#13 by SthrnMixer, Nov 6. 2017, 03:04

I had to sub the pineapple, but everything else to the letter. Love this stuff!!! I's now part of my "got to keep on hand" lineup.

#14 by SthrnMixer, Nov 6. 2017, 03:04

Thanks for the share.

#15 by SessionDrummer, Nov 6. 2017, 23:48

@sthrnmixer, I'm missing more than a few, what does this taste like ?

#16 by Ghettotrout, Nov 7. 2017, 01:38

dominant notes are jackfruit/mango and mangosteen, but all of the extras do a wonderful job at mitigating the mangosteen's floralness and providing a great base. Get everything you need, you won't regret it. This is one of ELR's hidden gems. Congrats on finding it :D

#17 by SessionDrummer, Nov 12. 2017, 22:57

Everything arrived, but DOH, forgot the LA Pineapple, will sub that one, and steep and try.

#18 by Ghettotrout, Nov 13. 2017, 08:51

I stated above about that one, last one I ordered and it's very critical at suppressing the mangosteen. That's how I see it anywho. Could try maybe sweet guava, or other good pineapples (I would avoid golden, didn't work for me).

#19 by JMak642, Nov 22. 2017, 16:46

I had to order in most of these flavors, excepting the lychee and the papaya. It is excellent though, totally worth the order. Shake & Vape certified for sure, literally did not wait for it to settle before I dripped it. Incredible depth of flavor.

#20 by SessionDrummer, Dec 14. 2017, 00:42

Very interesting mix. Had to order a few to get this one as written. I think at a first glance the amount of flavors leaves this one looking ??, but after steeping and trying, it is obvious how all of the flavors layer together into a fairly complex, fruity mix. Very nice.

#21 by Bryn, Mar 5. 2018, 16:29

just mixed this and I like it! very hard to put into words :)
I too had to sub LA Pineapple. I went with VTA Sugarloaf Pineapple and a dash of Golden Pineapple
thank you

I usually don't go for fruity juice, I like tobaccos more , but this one caught my eye as I used to vape Vango juice all the time. This is really a great recipe, well done. I have tried some other fruit recipes here but this is my favourite-the flavours all work really well together with none overpowering the other, blends really nice. Thanks for the recipe Hooba !

#23 by Mark, Jul 28. 2019, 21:22

Using a different pineapple but this is my favorite recipe I've tried

#24 by KAYN Sugar, Jan 20. 2020, 20:31
