<h3>PistachiOMG</h3><h4>Description</h4>Ever since I started vaping I've been fascinated by TFA Pistachio, the smell is just amazing, but I have never been able to find a recipe with a satisfying strong pistachio flavor. I have done countless bad attempts trying to nail down the Pistachio/RY4 combo (made famous by Charlie Noble), but almost all of them have ended up in the sink.

I did however have an epiphany when the legendary @shyndo released his recipe for his "Karl Custard" oneshot, where he not only uses TFA Pistachio at 8%, but also wrote an incdedibly helpful note on how to tackle the sharpness that such a high percentage of that flavour brings.

As I did not possess the flavors he is using, I started making my own version with 8% TFA Pistachio as a starting point, and with his notes as help. I also got some very encouraging words from him on the DYI_eJuice discord: *"dont be afraid to push shit just because some pretentious bastard tells you he gets "off notes"".*

So here I am. PUSHING!

Notes:
**TFA Pistachio:** I set out to copy Shyndo by using this at 8%, to really bring that powerful yet creamy pistachio note.
**TFA RY4 Double:** At 4% it is just enough to force mute the heavy pistachio note to a perfect level, while bringing that lovely caramel tobacco note to the mix.
**DFS Holy Vanilla:** Creamy eggy wonderful vanilla. At 2% this also helps take the edge off the pistachio, but mainly blends it together to a lovely vanilla pistachio cream that you just want to eat out of a spoon.
**FLV Milk & Honey:** I would say this is optional, but I think it brings a complexity to the whole mix with that dark sweetness that works very well with the pistachio and tobacco notes.

Again I just have to thank @shyndo, who not only came up with this amazing recipe (Karl Custard), but also went out of his way to answer my questions and gave me invaluable advice on how to develop recipes. So please make sure to check out his Karl Kustard

Extra notes:
Regarding steeping, this only gets better the longer it steeps. After a month this is incredibly tasty and the pistachio has blended perfectly with the rest.
If you want to add more tobacco flavor, don't add more RY4, but instead add @Fear 's Cardinal combo: 0.25% FLV Kentucky Blend and 0.75% FLV Red Burley.
TFA RY4D can be swapped for DFS Holy Grail RY4 at 7%, if you want you can also lower DFS Holy Vanilla slightly to make up for the extra cream that the Holy Grail brings.<h4>Recipe</h4>DFS Holy Vanilla &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>2%</strong>FLV Milk & Honey &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.5%</strong>TPA Pistachio &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>8%</strong>TPA Ry4 Double &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>4%</strong><p>Total Flavor: <strong>14.5%</strong></p>
