Torrone

**Rda/** Plume Veil

**% Used/** 4% **coil/** dual parallel 24awg **w/** 45

**Steep time/** 1 week wicking/ Full

**Mouth Feel -** Robust, sharp, sits on the tongue, relatively thick at this percentage. Decent throat hit.

**Flavor Properties-** Nutty, creamy wet sugar, a bit of fruit loops, small hints of chocolate, powdered sugar, and maybe some ginger.

**Relatable Flavors -** The popular Spanish confectionery "turrón." Amarula liquor from South Africa with less sugar.

**Off Flavors -** Carries a very slight lemony disinfectant scent, but I personally do not taste lemon, just a sharp note that I can somewhat relate to ginger root.

**Position in the recipe -** Most would consider this a supporting flavor at lower percents (0.5-1%), however some people's taste buds might enjoy this as part of a base or a top note (3-4%+)

**Pairings -** Tobaccos, bakeries, nuts, chocolates, citrus fruits.

**Conclusion -** This flavor has a lot of depth. There are so many layers, and so much going on especially once you reach higher percentages. While I think it does well in almost any recipe at the right percentage, it is definitely a flavor that could be hated as easily as it is loved. <3

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** Light on the palate, heavy on the nose. Moderately dense for a fruit flavoring, 5 out of 10. Very slight throat hit.

**Flavor Properties-** Crisp and juicy with the perfect sweet-tart snap,a very realistic Fuji apple, (I swear I can taste the skin of the Apple, and the sweet perfect fruit underneath) natural sugar flavor you'd expect from an apple without tasting artificial.

**Relatable Flavors -** All in the name it's seriously like eating the perfect Fuji apple not a Granny Smith not a Golden Delicious just spot-on Fuji apple.

**Off Flavors -** Slightly odd syrupy aftertast.

**Position In The Recipe -** This is a top note or a fantastic base in any fruit recipe. Could also be used at very low percentages to add a sugar flavor.

**Pairings-** The list goes on and on here, just open your collection look at every flavor you have and Fuji is going to pair up very nicely.

Champagne

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .40Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

**Testing:** TFA Champagne @ 3%; Aged: 13 days

**Flavor description:** Sort of a mildly flavored white grape type of table wine. No fizziness like you'd expect from the name, but somewhat reminiscent of flat champagne.

**Off-flavors:** May seem a bit yeasty at higher percentages. Missing the fizzy champagne sparkle.

**Throat hit:** 2/10 Pretty tame on the tongue too.

**Uses:** Since it doesn't really provide effervescence (at least to me), I would suggest it as an accent to other fruits, or as a sort of emulsifier to help meld sharp flavors together.

**Pairings:** Grape, apple, citrus flavors, or any other fruits you might expect in wine.

**Notes:** IMO, not an overly strong flavor, rather boring by itself. FA Liquid Amber or FA Brandy at lower percentages might work as substitutes in a recipe if you don't have this one in your stash.

**EDIT:** As /u/apexified stated in my recent discussion about this flavor, FW Pink Champagne might be a better option for a fizzy note.

**EDIT 2:** For those of you still searching for effervescence, check out FA Cola. You might have better luck with fizzy aspects there too.

Honeydew

***note:** there is TFA Honeydew I and II out there, this might be the II version. I will report back.*

**Main Notes:**

TFA Honeydew is very sweet, fruity and fresh. It's not a spot on, realistic honeydew; more of a candy-like version.

**Developement:**

At 2% it is thin, more fresh and watery. The background notes come to the front after a short steep.

At 5% you got yourself a really bold honeydew flavor. At =<5% it seems to hit the sweet spot, giving you a very clear flavor profile.

At 10% it started off very strong - the sweetness and the fruityness diminished almost completely, leaving you with some muted honeydew volatiles.

**Recommended Percentage and Steep:**

I would recommend 2-5% for standalone flavor and a short steep (overnight to 3 days).

**Other:**

TFA has Honeydew and Honeydew II flavoring. I suspect I tested the II version.

**My testing setup:** Griffin RTA, Dual Kanthal Coils reading at 0.5, 30 Watts.

I make 3 10ml bottles (3mg nicotine, 50/50 PG VG) and steep them for 4 weeks. I test them after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.

Cranberry

**Setup:** Recoil w/ flavor barrel, Dual 15 wrap 26g 3mm Nifethal 70 coils @.18 ohms. 60w power, 450F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.

**Testing:** CAP Cranberry @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 17 days.

**Flavor Description:** Inhale is slightly sweet and perfumey. High perfumey notes continue into the exhale, along with a deep sweet cooked berry flavor. Almost a dark rum note. Not a whole lot of midrange or juicyness here. Moderate sweetness. Sticky mouthfeel with especially with sustained use.

**Off-flavors:** Steeped, maybe a bit of metallic tang on the deeper berry notes.

**Throat Hit:** 1/10. Just barely there harshness.

**Uses:** Fruit mixes, especially depth and variety to a berry mix. Cocktails. Stickier mouthfeel would lend itself to a cranberry sauce type of mix.

**Pairings:** Citrus, especially lime. Grape, Apple. Rhubarb. Pretty much any berry you want to throw at it. Seems to accentuate perfumey notes, so I'd avoid stone fruits.

**Notes:** What's more festive than a review of a concentrate that everyone, myself included, already wrote off? Nothing short of genocide, that's what. S&V strength testing, I'd go for 2-3% for an assertive component in a mix and up to 6% solo. This flavor also needs a decent steep. I find it pretty offputting as a S&V. Steeping mellows it into something a little on the weak side. Decent sweeter cranberry flavor, but FLV is just a ton better.

Today, I am thankful for FLV Cranberry and football on TV all day.

**Second Opinions:**

Hey, look! There's an entire FOTW of the week about Cranberry. All 2 accounts of CAP Cranberry are negative. Even the one who isn't me.

It's probably better than TFA though.

New York Cheesecake

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .40Ω; cotton wicks; 50W

**Testing:** CAP NY Cheesecake @ 4%; Aged: 16 days

**Flavor description:** Thick, wet, creamy, sugary cream cheese taste, but not overly cheesy at 4%. Also has subtle notes of vanilla and butter.

**Off-flavors:** Some people reported gym socks, cardboard, or stinky cheese. I do not personally taste any of this at 4%, may be possible to obtain these tastes at higher percentages.

**Throat hit:** 3/10 fairly smooth

**Uses:** Part of a cream base, the obvious cheesecake recipe, desserts. Great "thickener".

**Pairings:** Graham cracker, other creams, preferred fruits, custards, cinnamon, and mostly any vanilla flavoring.

**Notes:** This flavor may require some time (2-3 weeks) to age before it reaches full potential. I consider it to be a fairly versatile flavoring as it easily plays into many different recipes.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

**Rda/** Velocity

**% Used/** 5 mixing % 2-10

**coil/** Clapton **w/** 45

**Steep time/** 3 weeks Wicking/ Full

**Mouth Feel -** Smooth heavy and very dense I would give it a 9 out of 10. No throat hit.

**Flavor Properties-** Creamy and rich super smooth icecream with the the perfect vanilla. Not artificial Not spicy moderately eggy, heavy on the dairy, fairly sweet, and that super rich butter & cream you expect in an ice cream or custard.

**Relatable Flavors -** To me this is I like eating a spoon full of blue bunny vanilla ice cream, or a vanilla buttercream.

**Off Flavors -** I'm not finding any faults here I have heard people say that VBIC can be peppery. I have had what I would describe as spicy vanilla before but I'm not getting that here. (I'm assuming it's the TFA)

**Position in the recipe -** With its super-dense properties my opinion is this is best in a base, could also be used to Accent other creams.

**Pairings -** Other creams, berries, fruits, tobacco's, bakeries, and beverages like Cola or root beer.

Menthol

Got this one at BVC. On the site, it is listed as Menthol-FW. The graphics show menthol crystals on a plate, but it is actually menthol crystals dissolved in PG and alcohol. The Flavor West page shows the same graphic, but lists it as "Menthol (Liquid)" with the description "Natural Menthol (Liquid) Flavoring".

FW states "Usage Rate 15-20% for E-use". ELR shows 1 to 2.5% for Percentages in recipes and 8.1 to 10% for single flavor mixes. Reddit posts were all over the map. Where to start? I went with 2%.

About a year ago, I got 2 bottles of Banzai Subzero at 18mg/ml nic. I tried it and liked the cool sensation, but the nic was way too high for me. I'm currently vaping 3% nic. Subzero's menthol flavor is harsh and not particularly tasty, but that cool sensation is fun.

A 2% single flavor mix vapes really nice in a dripper. I get the cool sensation, and the flavor is equal part menthol and part light peppermint. Much tastier than Subzero.

I plan on increasing the concentration and testing in a tank, and testing in a MTL setup, too.

* 24 hours later: tried the 2% mix in the Goblin Mini V1 tank. The Goblin Mini is a pretty good flavor tank, but most of the cool sensation is not there. Tested again in a dripper and the cool is still there, no change, just as good as yesterday. Tomorrow, I'll make a 4% mix.
* 24 more hours later: the 4% mix is noticeable and pleasant in the Goblin Mini. It is at least twice as strong in the dripper. Not tomorrow, but soon I'll try 6%, gotta find the upper limit.

Oba Oba

**Percentage Used:** 5%

**Equipment Used:** Single flavor is too delicate for high heat. Vaped at .5 on a Crown or Subtank Nano @30w is delicious. On a TFV4 .35 Clapton coil at 45w all I can taste is wire and hint of burning.

PG/VG 30/70

**Steep Time:** 2 Weeks

This has a mild but sweet flavor. Great to give a break from strong, heavy, and rich flavors, and I like it SF at 5-7%. I can taste slight vanilla, and some type of sweetness, slightly creamy, but a bright flavor. Maybe even a back note of cookie, but a very very light cookie, no heaviness? No specific fruit flavor, but a light and pleasant vape. Can't quite figure this out. I think would work very well to sweeten and brighten fruit flavors, maybe even lighter bakery flavors?

**Steep Time:** 2 Months Later

This has ended up being a great accent to fruits, adds a boost of brightening with a slight vanilla back note. Mostly melons and fleshy fruits. Also good with sweet citrus flavors like orange and tangerine. Avoid lime, grapefruit, tart citrus flavors.

Creme de Menthe FW

**My build:**

Kayfun 5/Therion 75w/30 watts/Single coil Kanthal

**Percentage Mixed**

Standalone/3%/ 50/50 VG PG

**Steep Time:**

2 days

**First Impressions:**

Concentrate has a light yellow tint to it. As for the smell, I get a faint whiff of peppermint (because creme de menthe is typically derived from peppermint or corsican leaves). Not much else to say about it, I reckon.

**Taste:**

Tastes just like peppermint! There's a mild creaminess in the background, it's also a touch sweet. I don't get much or any boozy or alcoholic taste to it (creme de menthe is supposed to be a mint-flavored alcoholic beverage).

The mint is also very, very mild. I prefer my mints on the stronger side, to the point where it chills the back of my throat (INW Eucalyptus, <3). This one does not accomplish that. It's more on the lighter side.

**Standalone/Mixer:**

I believe this is more of an accent than a standalone. Wayne from DIYORDIE used it in Cuprian to great effect at 2%. Personally I would use it a lot higher. Then again, I do enjoy that chilling sensation myself.

Something to note also is that this flavor does not need much of a steep at all for its properties to shine. That makes it superior to TFA's version.

**Pairings**

Fruits, desserts, maybe baccos...

**Is it 4oz-worthy?**

Not really, I think most people could do with a vial or 30mls of this.

Cherry Filling

**Setup:** Velocity 2 Clone, Dual 15 wrap 3mm Nifethal 70 coils @.18 ohms. 45W-80w power, 500F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.

**Testing:** FLV Cherry Filling @ 3%, 70/30 VG/PG, Steeped 2 weeks.

**Flavor Description:** Artificial cherry flavoring. An astringent, bitter taste that builds into a sort of gummy mouthfeel.

**Off-flavors:** Dead on for the same kind of bitter, mouth-numbing taste I got off FLV Papaya Punch / maybe Peach Rings. Its worth nothing that this get less unpleasant with more wattage and heat. It isn't rubber or plastic, tastes a lot more neutral than that.

**Throat Hit:** 4/10. That bitter flavor is pretty mellow in terms of throat hit. The cherry is just a bit harsh.

**Uses:** Cherry gummy candy. Almost a gummied maraschino cherry vibe, so a slight accent anywhere you'd want that like a thick milkshake base or even an ice cream. It would probably work for a cherry cordial. Somebody said tobacco on FLV Rainier Cherry, so tobacco blends?

**Pairings:** Candy texturizers. At a small percentge, heavy creamy flavors like Cap Vanilla Custard or TFA VBIC. Sweet chocolate.

**Notes:** So, what if the problem with cherry concentrates is an attempt to create a bright cherry note? I tried FLV Cherry Filling looking for a more subdued cooked cherry. Maybe a little sweet and jammy with that comparatively subtle cherry note.

This is no way tastes realistic. It's way too artificial and bright for a real cherry filling. It's a too light and one-note for even a cheap hostess fruit pie neon red fruit filling. It really does taste quite a bit like cherry gummies and whatever they are using for mouthfeel reinforces that. It leaves a mouthfeel like cheap gummy bears, as opposed to either a nice rich pectin heavy natural filling or a corn starch thickened neon "cherry" filling.

I'd say its a mostly competent cherry candy concentrate.

Siege of Genoa (1746)

The **Siege of Genoa** took place in 1746 during the War of the Austrian Succession when an Allied force of Austrians, Sardinians soldiers and British sailors besieged the capital of the Republic of Genoa. The city ultimately surrendered to commander Antoniotto Botta Adorno, after being abandoned by its principal allies France and Spain.[1] The manner in which Austria had negotiated a separate surrender that didn't include Britain or Sardinia angered their allies, and for a while the British fleet under George Townshend were instructed by Arthur Villettes to continue their blockade of the city in protest until ordered to cease it by the Duke of Newcastle in London.

## Aftermath

The Austrians mistreated many of the inhabitants of Genoa, causing deep resentment. Following the departure of large numbers of the Austrians for an Allied campaign to invade southern France, the city rose on 7 December 1746 driving out the remainder of the garrison. An attempt to retake the city the following year failed.
Churro

**Setup:** Plume veil; single coil kanthal at 0.4 with cotton wick; 35 watts

Cap Churro @5% tasted at 5 days and 10 days

**Flavor:** The rumors you've heard are true. It has that Glazed Doughnut smell and taste in there. It was more noticeable at 5 days, not as much later. It reminds me of glazed doughnut with some cinnamon and some sweetness. It doesn't seem to be the same type cin as cds though.

**Off flavors:** playdough early on, raw dough at 10 days

**Throat hit;** Decent. It's not harsh at 5%

**Use;** Don't, especially if you already have glazed doughnut.

**Pairings;** The other flavors in my box of misfit flavors. Or creams, vanilla, and sugary flavors.

**Notes;** Imo, I don't see any reason for anyone to buy this if you have a good collection of flavors. You can easily make something better with some Rich Cinnamon, Meringue, and other bakery staples. If you don't have many flavors, this might be ok to try out for only $2.50. You could make something ok with this, but why.

(edit: To be fair, I haven't had a churro in a long time. It could be close, but this isn't a flavor I see myself using)

Basil

**Setup:** Velocity 2 Clone, Dual 15 wrap 3mm Nifethal 70 coils @.18 ohms. 45W power, 480F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.

**Testing:** FLV Basil @ 3%. Steeped for a week.

Flavor Description Somewhere between fresh basil and fresh fennel. Fairly sweet, but it has some almost anise bite. Hint of vanilla somewhere in there.

**Off-flavors:** At 45w tastes a lot like fennel. Upping the power starts to push into a a swampy vegetal taste underneath a clear, bright basil flavor.

**Throat Hit** 6/10. Fairly harsh on an RDA especially at lower wattages. Loses a lot of that throat hit in a tank.

**Uses:** Refreshing alternative or complement for a natural mint flavor. Beverage mixes. Savory flavors, if you are a monster. At lower percentages I could see it complementing a sweet anise flavor.

**Pairings:** Pineapple, Strawberry, Anise, Mint, Vanilla. Brighter fruit mixes without a jammy component.

**Notes:** Picked this up because I was curious about the August 8th stuff that Flavorah dropped and hadn't seen a lot of reviews. Primary competition here would be FA Zen Garden, and I think this wins hands down. Zen Garden has always tasted like dried basil flakes, whereas this is a much brighter and fresh tasting flavor. It does struggle with some of the same off flavors at higher wattages. I was hoping for a nice clean thai basil type of flavor, and it falls short of that mark. Much more of a sweet basil flavor with some vegetal murkiness. A mix with any kind of jammy or fermented flavor is going to do some really weird things to this concentrate.

Blood Orange

**Setup:** Velocity Clone V1. Single coil. SS 26g. .4Ω. Cotton Wick

**% used:** .5 - 12.5

**Flavor description:** Sweet. Natural. Tart.

**Off-flavors:** Tart rind aftertaste.

**Pairings:** Fruits. Candies. Tobaccos. Desserts.

**Position In The Recipe:** Top note. It'll cover 1/2 of the flavor up front in just an orange recipe. It's rich.

**Notes:** To me this is a hybrid of a naval orange and a ruby red grapefruit. It just blossoms with a ton of natural orange upfront. The end note is just like a grapefruit would leave. Bitter. Rind. If you've never had grapefruit, this end note is like biting into the white strings of rind in an orange. The stingy portions in the center of the orange. Or just taking a bit of a nip into the white colored portion of the inner skin of an orange. As off putting as this may sound it's what makes this flavor so unique and part of my ADV. The tart sour notes hit fairly quickly into the middle and with the right amount of sweet added, this sweet and tart dances on your tongue in heavenly unison.

Also, if you want a visual on what happens when you don't shake your juice, try this one. It will dye every bottle you mix it in. It leaves a floating deep orange ring at the top which will remind you how much you need to shake all your juices before use.

**Throat Hit** It hits the back and upper portion of my throat just like when smoking a cigarette. For some it's intolerable. For me, it's perfect. It definitely has a strong throat hit.

**Rating:** 4.5/5 That's a tough love 4.5. I like this flavor so much and I wanted to give it a 5. However the bitter note on the end may very well ruin this flavor for a lot of people.

Bavarian Cream

**Main Notes:**

TFA Bavarian Cream is a thick vanilla cream with dairy notes.

**Developement:**

At 2% it's a heavy cream already. It's thick, dairy and vanilla mostly. The nuttiness goes away after a few hours.

At 5% the vanilla starts to take over and gains focus.

At 10% it gets really sweet, like sickening sweet. Even more vanilla. The other notes get kinda lost.

**Recommended Percentage and Steep:**

I would recommend 2-5% for standalone flavor and a medium steep (3 to 7 days).

**Toxicity**

Acetoin

**My testing setup:** Griffin RTA, Dual Kanthal Coils reading at 0.5, 30 Watts.

I make 3 10ml bottles (3mg nicotine, 50/50 PG VG) and steep them for 4 weeks. I test them after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.

Sassafras

**Setup:** Recoil w/ flavor barrel, Dual 15 wrap 26g 3mm Nifethal 70 coils @.17 ohms. 60w power, 450F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.

**Testing:** FW Sassafras @ 3%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 16 days.

**Flavor Description:** Like wintergreen without the mint. Relatively dry herbal flavor, earthy almost musty notes and a molasses sweetness. It's hard to describe this without mentioning root beer, so it tastes like an herbal version of the sharper note from root beer.

Light, herbal and slightly sour on the Inhale. Exhale is herbal sassafras. Dryer musty notes like a natural licorice flavor pushing almost into an oak or cedar. Similar to horehound. Tastes like bark, but in a really good way. Sweetness is there, but not overwhelming. Almost a light molasses or even a real maple syrup sweetness. Gets a lot more pronounced with extra heat. Exhale is smooth and moderately dense. Lingering bitterness, with just a bit of a medicinal vibe.

**Off-flavors:** Nothing I wouldn't expect.

**Throat Hit:** Light. Bitter medicinal vibe on the exhale isn't harsh on the throat but it does sort of anethestize your mouth a bit.

**Uses & Pairings:** The obvious one is a more herbal punch in a root beer. Would take a root beer barrel candy flavor into a more realistic root beer. Should also be a good main note for building your own root beer with some added mint and vanilla. Using something like FA Oakwood or TFA Red Oak would give you more of a birch beer flavor.

Just mixing this with a spearmint will give you a pretty awesome wintergreen flavor. Especially cool, just because all the wintergreen flavors I've tried have been really weak.

Mixes well with TFA Horehound to give you a fuller, sweeter herbal cough drop kind of flavor. In the same vein, I could see this being used in a licorice or anise candy flavor to give more herbal depth.

Mixing at 2% and under will lend a more natural, less HFCS kind of note to colas, dr. pepper, or whatever else kind of dark sodas.

Mixing beyond that is going to be interesting, just because this comes off so strongly as "root beer" flavor.

**Notes:**

S&V concentration testing, I get mostly molasses at 1% and under, with that bitter finish. Herbal notes are present but indistinct at 2%. 3% starts gets you to root beer, while keeping the balance between molasses and herbal flavors. 4 and 5% push that molasses down into the backend and come across as sort of musty root beer. Anything above that just starts to come apart. The actual herbal flavors get a bit too sharp and spicy for me after that. I'd mix this at 4-5% as a primary note in a root beer, just knowing that it'll be a dominant root beer taste. I'd mix at 2% if you just want that molasses and herbal complexity, and 3% if the hint of root beer isn't going throw your recipe off.

I was a fan of LA Sassafras, but unfortunately that's oil soluble. This, according the the Flavorwest website FWIW, specifies that it's water soluble. It's less sharp, and there is quite a bit of molasses here.

Yam

**MY Build:**
Dual round wire coil - .25 ohm/recoil/rx 200/75 Watts.

**Percentage Mixed:**
Standalone /5%/ 70/30 VG/PG

**Steep Time:**
2 Days: As this is a fruit, it doesn't change too much in the steep process.

**First Impresstions:**
So in all honesty, my first impression of this flavor, before I even ordered it, was eeewww, yam why on earth would someone make a yam flavor and where in the world would that fit in a mix. Then I thought about sweet potato pie and how close it is to pumpkin pie and thought that this would be a good addition to something pumpkin. It being fall, I NEEDED to do something with pumpkin. I am glad I got over that first impression and decided to give it a go. It is a clear flavoring with a slightly sweet, musty smell (which didn't give me any more confidence to actually put this in a mix). Once I dropped it on the back of my hand for a lick test, I noticed it was very sweet and not as musty which made me feel a little better about trying it.

**Taste:**
This flavor has really surprised me. It does not have a very potent potato-ey, flavor like you might think but what you do have is a nice, sweet, mellow, starchy, if a bit earthy, bottom note. The earthiness or mustiness is a bit spicy reminiscent of a tea. This flavor has a nice, thick, creamy mouthfeel.

Standalone/Mixer:
It is quite pleasant vaping all on its own but really shines when you use it to add complexity to a recipe. It is used in the pumpkin cider recipe to add body to the pumpkin flavor and round off the harshness the pumpkin spice has. This flavor was the glue, I believe, in the pumpkin base of this Cider recipe. It worked so perfectly in filling out the pumpkin flavor and softening any rough edges. It gives the mix a sweet, mellow fullness I really like.

Pairings:
Ok, so this took some thinking about as the only thing I could think to do with this flavor is put it in your pumpkin base for fall recipes. It is such a nice thick and sweet flavor it would probably be good with custards and other creams. There, of course, always is the aforementioned sweet potato pie; throw a little maple in there, some brown sugar and perhaps a little marshmallow and a touch of cinnamon and maybe some pecan and you have a traditional thanksgiving sweet potato casserole. I don't really think you would get a lot of use out of this flavor so a 10 ml will last you for a while.

Thanks guys for reading this. I am glad I can contribute to this awesome community and I look forward to writing up more reviews as I am terribly behind on single flavor testing. As always you can find other awesome flavor reviews in our awesome wiki!

Blackberry

***Set up***

* Derringer rda
* Single build
* 6 wraps 26g
* .5 ohms
* 50pg/50vg
* Tested @ 3%

**Single Flavor Testing Notes**

When it comes to berries I'm not going to lie I love them all,so I was really excited to try this one by loranns.

It's got a nice blackberry flavour very natural and just enough sweet and tartness. Smells really good and it's not disappointing. It wouldn't go a miss to add abit more sweetness to this I think it lacks it somewhat but not enough mark it down.

Imagine what a blackberry can do with a recipe who doesn't like apple and blackberry pie or dark fruits in some bakery or cream dessert well pack some of these little dark berries into it. Again it's going to work in you're beverage recipes possibly making other berries more tart and the blackberry more sweet.

I think mixing at 3% is a little low but I'm getting enough out of it to take notes but bare this in mind when adding to recipes it could fade out into the background after a few weeks. Probably wouldn't hurt to up the % if you want it to shine.

So on a whole it tastes and smells great but I'd like to compare with other blackberry flavours before I make my mind up but if you're after a blackberry then this one won't really disappoint.

**Notes**

Real,bold,semi sweet,tart,not harsh,weakish

Most fruits, berries and citrus stand out as obvious pairings, tobacco's bakeries, creams, and some odd ball flavorings like INW exotic roots.

Citrus Punch

**RDA:** CCI Archon; double coil(0.33Ω); cotton wick; 50w

TFA Citrus Punch @ 10% Steep time: 10 days

**Mouth Feel:** Slightly harsh and highly acidic (tank cracker). Not dense, but heavy on the throat (7/10)

**Flavor Properties:** - Refreshing lemon-lime, tastes like a carbonated beverage. Heavy on the lime, light on the lemon.

**Relatable Flavors:** - I purchased this flavor because it's been said to be a standalone Mountain Dew clone but I disagree. It's more of a mix between Mountain Dew and Sprite, but too acidic to be considered one or the other.

**Off Flavors:** Slight cough syrup aftertaste at 10%, I expect this to decline at lower percentages.

**Position in the recipe:** - Works as a base in fruit mixtures, or a top note in a custard/pie recipe. Will accent other fruits well at 3-5%, and I imagine it would taste great with a custard base.

**Pairings:** - Other fruits, custards/pies/creams, soda mixes, lemon meringue

**Notes:** As a standalone, this is 85% Mountain Dew. I'm sure there's something out there to cut the acidity and give the extra sweet flavor that this soda clone is missing. I will be trying champagne, cream, and sweetener and will edit this post when I find something that clicks.

Peach

**My build:**

Kayfun 5 with Therion 75w, Vaped at 30 watts on a single coil build. 0.5 ohms.

**Percentage Mixed**

Mixed standalone at 5%

**Steep Time:**

It's a fruit, so no steep time is necessary although I let it sit for 24 hours/1 day.

**First impressions:**

There's not too much to say about the color. It's pretty much clear as day, which is to be expected with fruit flavorings.

The aroma reminds me of a ripened peach, it smells so sweet that I can almost taste the nectarine. I am also immediately reminded of a popular gummy peach candy.

**Taste:**

Oh wow, this is a pleasant surprise. It smells the way it tastes. I get ripe, sweet peaches with an underlying nectar taste. But wait, what's that hitting the back of my throat. Oh no, I'm getting a dreaded perfume taste. I can't shake it off. It's faint and you can probably mask it with creams and desserts, but it's definitely there.

Did I mix this too high? Perhaps. I might have to revisit this at a lower percentage...

**Standalone/Mixer:**

It's actually both. It could work as a good standalone if you lean that way. But I feel it would shine exceptionally well with a cream or bakery back note. I am also pretty convinced that this is the peach they are using in FW Peach Tobacco.

If you can get past the perfumey taste, this is a decent flavoring. Try adding another peach into the mix like FA White Peach or FA Peach to add a little dimension to it.

**Is this 4oz worthy?**

Unfortunately, no. Because of the dreaded perfume taste, I don't see myself vaping much of this. However, take note that this could be entirely my fault for mixing it at 5%. It could be one of FW's stronger offerings. I'll need to revisit this one in the future.

Peppermint

**Setup:** Recoil w/ flavor barrel, Dual 15 wrap 26g 3mm Nifethal 70 coils @.18 ohms. 60w power, 450F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.

**Testing:** CAP Peppermint @ 1% and 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 16 days.

**Flavor Description:** At 1%, not much of anything. Don't use this at 1%.

At 4%, light mentholated inhale with building sweetness. Mentholation peaks in the inhale, exhale is mostly sweetness. Some thicker, non-dairy creamy notes on the exhale. Really clean exhale. Lingering peppermint flavor, if a bit flat. At 4% I'm left wanting more peppermint and more candy. Higher percentage S&V testing is pretty linear up to 10%. Flat candy sweetness. Nothing natural tasting here.

**Off-flavors:** Nope. Pretty sweet, but I'm taking this as a peppermint candy flavor.

**Throat Hit:** 0/10. Smooth as all hell.

**Uses:** Candy peppermint. Peppermint Patties, Milkshakes, Ice Creams. I'm not a fan of peppermint with fruits, but the relative weakness of this concentrate would lend itself to easy mixing in those applications.

**Pairings:** Vanilla, Chocolate, Creams. More aggressive mints.

**Notes:** Another fairly weak Capella flavor. Nothing wrong with this one, per se. Just surprisingly weak. S&V tested all the way up to 10% and it's still not overbearingly minty or sweet. I'd mix all the way up at 6% and add extra menthol and sweetness. Kind of defeats the purpose. Decent all in one candy cane up in the 10% range.

**Second Opinions:**

/u/discchord/ tried TFA, FA, and CAP for a peppermint patty recipe. Goes with CAP Peppermint as relatively gentle.

ECF users find cap peppermint weaker than cool mint, but a better candy cane flavor. FW Candy cane still preferred.

**Summary**

* Predominately I'm tasting a very creamy vanilla angel food cake flavor, fluffy and light, not dense or heavy. It has a background of generic fruitiness.

* I don't get "crispy" cake flavor, and it's lightly sweetened, reminds me strongly of angel food cake topped with light citrus cream. The description says citrus, but there is no acidity to me at all like I usually get with citrus, it's very smooth. I can't taste any one dominant citrus at all, nothing stands out, just a refreshing blend that is very well balanced and doesn't bury the cake. No tanginess or sharp flavors at all. Very familiar tasting, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

* It's a very good cake, I will be interested to see how this changes if at all with a 4 week steep. Overall a light flavor.

**Recommended Usage**

Single flavor: I would probably aim for 6-7% in a tank, or 4-5% in an rda.

In a mix 1-4% depending on the recipe.

**Steep**

1 week, although I think this will get better with more.

UPDATE At a 3 week steep the crispy cake flavor has really come out, still lightly sweet and creamy/moist. It changes a lot with the longer steep, really transforms into a heavier, more dense cake. This really tastes like a fried old fashioned cake doughnut without glaze. It still has a very very slight hint of generic citrus in the background. It really adds to the doughnut, gives it that very slight sourdough/sour cream background note. I am really enjoying this as a SF. I'm thinking a small amount of either FA Meringue or Marshmallow (maybe a little of both) will give it a great sugary glaze :) If you want the lighter angel food cake effect like in a Strawberry Shortcake, I wouldn't make more than a week's worth at a time.

Lemonade

**Setup:** Velocity clone; dual twisted 28awg @ .55Ω; cotton wicks; 40 W

**Testing:** LA Lemonade @ 3%; Aged: 2 weeks

Flavor description: Sugary and tart, bright lemon, rather candy like. Relatively dry by itself. Somewhat reminiscent to Lemon Heads candy.

**Off-flavors:** none

**Throat hit:** 9/10 rather harsh by itself.

**Uses:** Use at a small percentage (<1%) to accent/brighten other fruits, or crank up the % to really push a lemon note in your mix. Also, if you're making /u/vurve 's legendary Best Damn Pink Lemonade, you're going to need this one.

**Pairings:** Your favorite fruits or creams. EM might be helpful to take away some of the harshness if you aren't using a cream. Koolada works well if you're into the "cold lemonade" sensation. Tea and Champagne flavors come to mind as well.

**Notes:** This concentrate is a bit weak at 3% and may require upping the percentage or pairing with another lemon flavoring to achieve a nice strong lemon taste in a mix. In comparison to FLV Lemonade, it is close, but I personally get a bit more of a "Country Time powdered mix" sensation from FLV's version.

Vienna Cream

**RDA/** Velocity

**% Used/** 3

**Coil/** Clapton **W/** 45

**Steep Time/** 2 weeks Wicking/ Full

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** Light on the tongue and nose, not very dense would give it a 2 out of 10.no throat hit.

**Flavor Properties-** Smooth and light cream, very sweet with just a touch of egg, very light vanilla, and a hint of butter.

**Relatable Flavors -** Like drinking a glass of sweetened milk, or eating a spoonful of cream icing.

**Off Flavors -** Slight aftertaste. ( I'm sure someone will tell me it tastes like cardboard. I didn't realize how much cardboard people ate until I started posting flavor reviews. )

**Position In The Recipe -** I have seen this used in countless recipes and I've always considered it a bass note.but After tasting it solo I'm convinced it's simply an accent for other richer creams.

**Pairings -** Other creams, fruits, berries, tobacco's, bakeries, and nut flavorings.( please let me know if I missed any )

Harvest Berry

**Setup:** Velocity clone; dual twisted 28awg @ .55Ω; cotton wicks; 40 W

**Testing:** CAP Harvest Berry @ 3%; Aged: 5 days

**Flavor description:** Fairly balanced mix of blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, cherry, purple grapes, white grapes, hints of strawberry, plum, and apple in there too. Somewhat juicy with a subtle tartness. I would say it is a brighter mix well accented by darker fruits that don't over-power each other.

**Off-flavors:** Can come off as slightly woody and a bit dry at higher (6%+) percentages, but typically goes away with enough steep time. Some, but not all users also report a medicine taste.

**Throat hit:** 3/10

**Uses:** A great backbone for a fruity mix. Enjoy it as the lone fruit, or accent it with your preferred fruit flavorings.

**Pairings:** Literally any cream, or your favorite fruits. I could also see this tasting good with some of your sweeter tobacco flavorings.

**Notes:** This flavoring is rumored to be used in many commercial juices, so if you're trying to clone something but you just can't nail down the fruit part, TRY THIS and see what else you need to add to it, if anything.

Cinnamon Crunch

**rda/** Velocity

**coil/** Clapton **w/** 55

**Steep time/** 3 weeks wicking/ Full

**Mouth Feel -** grainy and slightly Sharp light on the tongue moderately dense 4 out of 10 with a very light throat hit

**Flavor Properties -** sweet and syrupy with a nice cereal flavor very light on the cinnamon

**Relatable Flavors -** French toast light on the syrup or those pancakes with the syrup nuggets inside also
Cinnamon Toast Crunch which is what I believe they were going for pretty close but not perfect

**Off Flavors -** getting a off brand Cola kind of flavor with cinnamon

**Position in the recipe -** think this is going to work best in the background with a few friends and should make a decent base as well

**Pairings -** bakeries creams and other cereal should work nicely and meringue to kick up the cereal note

I think it could also use a little extra cinnamon the whole list of berries should go very nicely also I'm interested in trying a little pair to push that Cola flavor

Lemon Lime

**Setup**

*RDA/ Velocity Coil/ 6 Wrap Single Fused Kanthal Clapton 2×26 core 32 wrap W/ 45 Wicking/ Full Rayon Ω/0.26*

**Testing**

Steep Time/4 weeks % Used/ 5 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouthfeel**

Surprisingly heavy on the tongue and nose, with a moderately heavy density 7 out of 10.

Has a sharp,  mouth feel with just the slightest amount of effervescence.

**Throat Hit 4/10**

**Flavor Properties**

This one should be pretty self-explanatory, but that's not going to cut it so here we go a a bitter and bright lime lemon flavor, I put it in that order because they taste the lime first with a lemon background. This is a great citrus fruity juicy along with being a sweet-tart flavoring.

**Relatable Flavors**

I've heard it described as flat 7UP or Sprite, would have to agree with that description, reminds me of a soda flavoring without the carbonation.

**Position In The Recipe**

As a base - could be used in in a fruit base primarily focusing on Citrus flavors, and have seen it successfully used in candy bases.

As a accent - easily its most useful applications definitely has the ability to bring out sweet notes by adding contrast along with brightening creams.

**Off Flavors**

Not tasting anything with a Steep and have used this flavoring regularly, when I got this flavoring in notice the giant warning labels, (contains alcohol and to keep away from flames) and definitely noticed this note on a shake and Vape.

I ordered a 4-ounce bottle and now that the alcohol has had time to evaporate not something I concern myself with it anymore, but you may want to watch out for it.

**Pairings**

Citrus, tropical fruits, dark fruits, Stone fruits, creams, bakeries, candies, candies,and Vanilla.

**Recipe**

Not one of my recipes, and I do use the flavoring in a few, but I figured I wanted simple and easy recipe for the review.

And I'm sure I will get a godfuckingdammit Chris 😂 my talk-to-text has been acting very weird the last couple days I think it needs an update.

**Notes**

Although this flavoring flavoring this fantastic originally ordered it for my brother he wanted a stand-alone lemon lime, and regardless of the percentage I used it did not have the punch for a standalone flavoring.

Here is a Wikipedia on lemon lime if you're interested in learning the history behind the flavoring.

Sweet Tangerine

**Setup:** Velocity Clone V1. SS 26g. .4Ω. 30W, 420*F, Cotton Wick

\**% Used:.5 - 15

**\*\*Flavor description:** Tangerine/Orange. Sugary. Tastes like the gooey jellied tangerine candies with the visible sugar coating in the clear bag. Some say it taste just like Tang.

**Off-flavors:** None

**Uses:** Good stand alone or mixed with just a few other flavors. I wouldn't try to sneak it into an 8 flavor mix it tends to over power other flavors. There are other great orange flavors for that.
Pairings: Fruits, Tobacco, Bakeries.

**Notes:** Flavor alone got me off cigs after trying a lot of unsuccessful DIY mixes. I was able to vape it anytime of day or night. It just agreed well with my palate in any situation. It's got flavor on inhale and exhale. It has a lot going on so I feel like it was meant to be a stand alone. I got this as a recommendation from Hoosier on ECF back in 2012. He was a mixing god back then and said this was his go to flavor stand alone ADV @ 15%. For a fruit it holds well at very high temps. If I ever get to the point where I no longer use this flavor, I'll still keep a bottle around as a reminder of how important this flavor was for me. It's like that. My ADV is 6% FW Blood Orange. 2 % Cap Sweet Tangerine and 1% FW Lemonade. I could roll off the planet with this mix and be perfectly happy.

**Throat Hit:** Hits the back and upper portion of my throat just like when smoking a cigarette. For some it's intolerable. For me, it's perfect. It definitely has a strong throat hit.

**Rating:** 4.5/5 stars. I'm only knocking off .5 for the candy like taste. This is a solid flavor otherwise.

Irish Cream

**RDA/** Velocity

**% Used/** 3

**Coil/** Clapton **W/** 45

**Steep Time/** 3 weeks **Wicking/** Full

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** light on on the palate and heavy on the nose. Moderately dense I'd give it a 4 out of 10. Slight throat hit.

**Flavor Properties-** This is coming off as more chocolate coffee then a cream, light on the vanilla, and cream, no perceptible almond, there is a hint of smoky whiskey flavor used at most Irish Cream.

**Relatable Flavors -** This reminds me of an Irish coffee it does have that whiskey flavor and just a little warmth.

**Off Flavors -** As with most chocolates the chocolate in this is just a little chalky, and a hint of the skunky flavor you'd expect from a coffee.

**Position In The Recipe -** Given its light density, and mouthfeel believe this is going to work best as an accent, or top note.

**Pairings -** Other coffees, creams, bakeries, vanilla's, most dark berries should pair nicely, I would avoid any tropical fruit flavorings. Could definitely benefit from a touch of almond or hazelnut, and Burbon might also help finish out the illusion of alcohol.

Mangosteen

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .40Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

**Testing:** FA Mangosteen @ 3%; Aged: 13 days

**Flavor description:** Bright, sweet, and very juicy tropical fruit flavor. I would describe this as somewhere *between* a sweet pink grapefruit and a dark cherry or light blueberry. Very unique taste and slightly sharp on the tongue.

**Off-flavors:** Gets a bit floral above 2 or 3%, but fades after a decent steep.

**Throat hit:** 6/10

**Uses:** Great for a summer time or tropical mix. Could also be used to give boring or tart fruit flavors an sweet boost without over-powering a blend. This could also possibly be used in a pinch to mimic some of the juiciness of INW Cactus at very low percentages, but it is definitely not the same thing by any means, especially once you compare the two flavors over 1-2%.

**Pairings:** Tropical flavors. Also, citrus, peach, strawberry, apple, or basically any fruits needing a sweet little boost.

**Notes:** I would like to thank /u/id10-t for suggesting this on my last order. It's very pleasant and refreshing as a standalone, and I can also see it being a great addition in any fruit recipe.

**EDIT:** Forgot to state that this does not taste like a mango, nor is it intended to, as a *mangosteen* is something different.
