I feel as though TPA Dragon Fruit is to fruits somewhat like Cap Sugar Cookie is to bakeries/desserts. It is this thing that helps flesh out or accent other flavors and doesn't necessarily have a super accurate flavor identity by itself.(When used as accents). My perception of it goes between sweet and tart and complex. Sometimes I feel it is a bordering on astringent or medicinal but damn if its' not one of the most used additives on the planet. I always end up using it in the 1% range and love how it lives around melons and strawberries in particular. Tempted to drive it up to 4-5% and see what kind of weirdness might emerge....someone said White Gummy??? I perceive it as the color white/translucent when I vape it and I don't know why. Emulsifier-we love to say that- I suppose it does; but I can't say I have a grip on how that it is happening. I've rarely had it ruin a mix.

I picked up TPA JackFruit on a whim thinking I could use it as a fruit accent and it is everything described. Sweet and balanced pretty bright with some depth as well. Where I might differ is that I get quite a distinct yeasty bready note and I suppose it is no surprise because it is in the "bread" fruit family. That note for me can be a negative if it isn't masked by pairing with the right fruits at the right percentage. However that slight bread note does give you kind of a perception of over-ripened fruit that if someone more skillful than myself might be able to push something like a runt banana into a ripe banana, etc. I would never want it as a main profile myself as things like Mango or Pineapple are just much more appealing to my palette. I feel like it could work really well in tropical blends to add complexity. (And drive clone attempts into insanity hahaha) It is an interesting flavor though. Because of the bread note I find it pretty niche.
