Here is something I've messed around with for a while and got to a stage where I like it: 4.50% FA Fig Fresh (Flavour Arts) - This is a great standalone (I use it at 5%) 4.00% Gin & Tonic (Flavormonks) - So is this (used at 8%) 3.00% SWEETENER (Perfumers Apprentice) - OK it's a lot of sweetener, but see recipe below - this is meant to be sweet/sour - I tried it with 1 & 2% and it was a little bitter for my tastes 2.50% Vanilla Tahiti (Flavour Creative aka Flavour Arts) - Tried this with Holy Vanilla at first, this worked better as it adds more sweetness 0.75% Pannetone (SolubArome) - this and the G&T are the sour in the sweet and sour mix 0.30% Koolada 5% (Perfumers Apprentice) - This is 10% Koolada diluted by 50% - optional, obviously! Never tried the original cocktail but the recipe is: 2.5 parts gin, 2-4 parts tonic, 0.5 part Fig + Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup (made up with 6 fresh figs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste), 2 dashes orange bitters (the Pannetone stands in for this) and ice. For me it's got all the flavours coming through and the vanilla really enhances the fig flavour - it's an unusual vape. Of course - there's a label: ![](https://s12.postimg.cc/4xn69age5/Fig_Vanilla_and_Gin_Label.jpg)

Will probably be posting more odd recipes as I'm in a bit of a cocktail phase in terms of mixing. Nice thing is, doing the labels is almost as much fun as creating and vaping the mixes!
