Review of Pear Flavor-FW:

Flavor West makes a pretty good pear flavor, and I use it all the time.  I have been using it for about 3 years now, and I go through the 4oz bottles fairly quickly.  One word of caution though, this pear has a sight bite to it.  My secret to getting rid of this bite is to add a small amount of INW Pear to it, this will soften the flavor, and take the bite out, and also leave it tasting a bit more sweet & juicy.  I've tried them both alone & with many combinations, and I've discovered they taste much better together than alone.   The FW Pear is more like a green pear, and the INW is more like a juicy golden pear flavor.  But the INW Pear can get cloying really fast, so best just to use a little of it sparingly to sweeten/ripen the FW Pear.  For example, depending on whom I'm making this for (and how strong they like it), I might use 10-18% FW Pear with 1-2% INW Pear in a 50/50 solution, or 75PG/25VG solution.  And I always get so many compliments about how it smells and tastes like a real fresh juicy pear!  

BTW, I also compared this to TPA/TFA, and there is no comparison, the TFA smells a bit floral, and it's hard to soften out that note. I've tried others too, since I am a pear fan, but the best I've found so far has been the combination of FW Pear & INW Pear used together.

One more little tip, if you happen to have any FA Forrest Fruit, then adding a few drops of this also seems to "ripen" this flavor quite nicely!
