Cheesecake Graham Crust

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .35Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

**Testing:** TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust @5%; Aged: 6 days

**Flavor description:** Sweet, rich, milky, thick, creamy with a subtle graham pie crust taste on the exhale. I wouldn't say it's exactly like eating plain cheesecake, but it does a pretty good job in meeting it's product description.

**Off-flavors:** I'm not getting anything weird at 5%, as it tastes sweet and smooth all the way through the inhale as well as the exhale.

**Throat hit:** 5/10, thick yet smooth.

**Uses:** The obvious cheesecake/fruit recipe. Thickens up a mix while adding a graham cracker/pie crust effect. May be used to help take sharp or bitter notes out of some recipes. I use it to thicken up and smooth out my toffee recipe.

**Pairings:** Creams, nuts, pretty much any fruits/berries.

**Notes:** Very smooth and versatile overall, plays well in almost any recipe.

Golden Butter

**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 Golden Butter@ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 26 days for the solo.

**Flavor Description:** This tastes almost identical to CAP Butter Cream to me, with volume turned up a bit from like 2 on the buttercream to a whopping 3 or 3 1/2. Tastes quite a bit like homemade buttercream frosting, especially as this seems noticeably sweeter than CAP Buttercream. Waxiness is also more pronounced. I get intermittent still fairly faint dairy notes here. Like sweet cream butter, as opposed to a richer diacteyl popcorn butter note.

Inhale is mostly dense sweetness. Weird thing is, it's one the cleanest sweet notes I've got from a concentrate. Like straight sugar syrup. Exhale brings in what I get from the dairy note. Sweet, non cheesy butter. Clear sweetness here too. I could be imagining it, but the sweetness kind of has a really thin vanilla character to it. Lingering waxy mouthfeel.

**Off-flavors:** The entire thing? For me at least this isn't really butter, but a thick unctuous sweetness. That unctuous vibe gets waxy really quick.

**Throat Hit:** 0/10.

**Uses:** Dense, rich, thick mouthfeel for creams and cream mixes. If you get butter from this, then sweet cream butter notes for your bakeries.

**Pairings:** If you get butter, relatively dry pastries. If you get buttercream frosting, then the world is your oyster. Just don't expect it to translate for any given other person.

**Notes:** I'm absolutely convinced there is something here that I'm not tasting. This shouldn't be as subtle as is, both as the steeped tester and the S&V percentage testing. Given the reaction on CAP Butter Cream, I don't think I'm alone. I get a much clearer butter taste out of something like Cap Vanilla Whipped Cream. As with anything, it's worth trying this as a single flavor first to see what you're getting out of this.

S&V tasting, I get an almost identical level of actual dairy from this at .5% as I do at 4%. Sweetness does seem a lot more linear, rising up to 6%. Waxiness seems to show up early, and plateaus at around 4%. Given that I'm missing something here I would follow the recommendations in the second opinions and start low with this. .5% to start and work up.

**Second Opinions:**

Seems like /u/avtomal5150/ got about the same thing from this as I did.

Differing opinions on ELR Notes, Primarily the heavy butter camp.

Seems like some more mixed opinions on Vaping Underground

So, overall I'm stumped here. I don't hate this as a textural additive but I'm obviously not getting something that is supposed to be there. Seriously, YMMV.

Vanilla Whipped Cream

**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 Vanilla Whipped Cream v1 @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 20 days.

**Flavor Description:** Slighly sweet, almost overwhipped whip cream. Borders on a really fluffy butter. If you've ever whipped cream, then tasted and realized you'd undersweetened AND ran the mixer a bit too long, that's the vibe I'm talking about.

Smooth, fluffy moderately dense sweet cream on the inhale. Cream is fairly realistic. Has some heavy dairy / buttery notes. Not frosting sweet, sweetness is delicate and subtle. Exhale has some really faint, cheap vanilla extract notes, especially in the beginning. Volume really shows up midway through the exhale. Sweetness remains pretty tame. I get most of the dairy notes on the inhale and they linger through the exhale. Finish is a bit flat and sour.

**Off-flavors:** Solo, it has a slightly sour soapy finish. I've never noticed it in a mix.

**Throat Hit:** 0/10.

**Uses:** Creamy emulsification. Less rich sub for custards. Extra volume in Ice Creams or Custards.

**Pairings:** Knock yourself out. This is a blank slate. Maybe nothing that tastes too green or grassy. That would taste pretty weird.

**Notes:** S&V testing, this shows up pretty clearly at 1% and gets a bit too cream heavy and a touch sour after 5%. Personally, I'd use this around 2-4% to smooth out and add creamy volume to a recipe without any other creams. I'm not really a layerer when it comes to my juice, but I've found this doesn't stick to one layer in a recipe. It's more like a creamy emulsifier. Not as thick or buttery as a custard, but has that same almost sticky creaminess.

**Second Opinions:**

Coffee FW

***Set up***

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

**Single Flavor Testing Notes**

So coffee it's one of my favourite pleasures I really enjoy a good coffee so when it comes to vaping the stuff I wish there was more good recipes.

I just don't think nobody has come up with a good flavour there's so many out there but which one is the best? I think we're still trying to find that one out.

So flavorwest coffee well it's not the greatest but at the same time it's not the worse. It's actually a very good coffee, it's by no means a dark roast or espresso but it has got body. I think it's more of a creamy coffee definitely cream in here oh and sugar it's definitelysweet. It's also pretty weak tasting no way is 5% enough as a Standalone bump this up to probably 10% if you want flavour.

So it's pretty ok coffee good as a Standalone I could easily vape this it's enough flavour to know what it's doing without it getting boring or unpleasant. Mix this with bakeries, cakes,creams and perhaps other coffee whether that works though is trial and error. So if coffee is you're thing you would not do yourself any harm picking this flavour.

**Notes**

Mild,creamy, sweet,latte

**Standalone** 5-10% **In a recipe** 2-6%

Horchata

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

**Testing:** CAP Horchata @ 3%; Aged: 3 weeks

**Flavor description:** Milky and sweet with subtle notes of nuts and cinnamon. Very soft and rather thick mouthfeel. Comes off as a sort of vanilla custard or pudding but with an unmistakable milkiness reminiscent of soft white rice in an actual horchata drink. The cinnamon is subtle enough to not be harsh after a short steep and the nuts do not over-power anything either. It is rather well balanced IMO.

**Off-flavors:** nothing "off" to me in terms of a horchata, but may become "eggy" or just weird if you push the % too high.

**Throat hit:** 6/10

**Uses:** Great as a base for your favorite dessert or holiday spice type recipes. I would recommend staying below 6% in a mix to avoid harshness or a weird egg note.

**Pairings:** Other creams (especially vanilla), chocolate, butterscotch, caramel, cookie, bourbon/whiskey, coffee, or your preferred cinnamon flavoring if you find this one to be lacking in that department. Would also work well with apple, pear, or other fruits commonly used in baking something with cinnamon.

**Notes:** To me, this is a rather under-rated flavoring. I enjoy the somewhat exotic taste I get from the cinnamon/spice/nut part of it. It is pretty versatile with many other dessert type flavorings. Not a lot of recipes around here using horchata, but that may change as the holiday season rolls around.

Milk Chocolate

**Rda/** Velocity

**% Used/** 5 **coil/** Clapton **w/** 30

**Steep time/** 2 weeks **wicking/** Full

**Mouth Feel -** Smooth and moderately dense, I would give it a 4 out of 10 with slight throat hit.

**Flavor Properties-** A light bittersweet chocolate, with just a hint of cream or milk.

**Relatable Flavors -** Like eating a handful of milk chocolate chips in one breath, or inhaling a glass of hot chocolate.

**Off Flavors -** a lingering chalky aftertaste.

**Position in the recipe -** Not quite dense enough for a base flavor, could be useful as an accent to other chocolates, mainly this will be a top note.

**Pairings -** Other chocolates, creams, bakeries such as sugar cookie, and the whole list of dark berries.

**Toxicity -** This flavor contains 'custard' ingredients: Acetoin & Acetyl Propionyl

Glazed Donut

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .35Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

**Testing:** CAP Glazed Donut @ 5%; Aged: 6 days

**Flavor description:** Sweet cakey donut along with a moist sugary glaze. Tastes very similar to the 99 cent 6 packs of glazed donuts you find at a gas station.

**Off-flavors:** I don't taste anything off. EDIT: Others are tasting Play-Doh. Trying it as a standalone in a tank, I did get a slight Play-Doh nuance, but I don't taste that on my RDA.

**Throat hit:** 6/10. Thick and heavy in the mouth.

**Uses:** I haven't personally played with any additions, but would likely play well in a bakery or dessert recipe.

**Pairings:** Berries, ice creams, nuts. Would pair well with some INW Biscuit or FA Joy.

**Notes:** Tastes great as a shake-n-vape, steeps out very well also. Very enjoyable as a 5% standalone flavor. I feel that Capella really nailed this flavor.

Macadamia Nut

**RTA/** Goblin Mini

**% Used/** 5

**Coil/** Dual **W/** 35

**Steep Time/** 1 week Wicking/ Full

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** No throat hit. Smooth through the nose and lungs. Slight creamy mouth feel.

**Flavor Properties-** Nutty, almost earthy with a creamy back note.

**Relatable Flavors -** Doesn't really taste like any macadamia nut I've had. It's obviously not unsalted, it has some sweetness to it (not honey) but it just tastes very off.

**Off Flavors -** There is a strong aftertaste on the exhale. I'm not sure if its just me but I can discern the taste even after using it in one of my mixes. It almost tastes burnt, like when you leave bread inside a toaster for a minute too long, and you can't shake off the taste even after scraping the black edges.

**Position In The Recipe -** This will probably work as an accent note. I can't see it being a base note just because of the color (its black as tar) and the odd chemical taste.

**Pairings -** In small amounts, you could probably use this in some trail mix recipe or honey roasted nuts. Although again, I don't know anyone who would find this taste appealing.

**End notes -** In my humble opinion, you can ignore this flavor. It's not a good macadamia flavoring, it's not a good flavoring, period. Because of the color alone, it will fuck up your coils in a day or two. And it leaves a super unpleasant exhale taste which I just can't see working anywhere... Someone just posted that this contains corn syrup (which is unsafe to vape), avoid at all costs.

Strawberry Ripe

**Rda/** velocity

**% Used/** 5

**Coil/** Clapton **W/** 45

**Steep time/** 2 weeks Wicking/ Full

**Mouth Feel -** Sharp with just a hint of creaminess. Slight throat hit and light on the tongue. Not very dense I give it 3 out of 10.

**Flavor Properties-** This is a much more realistic representation of the sweet and tart strawberry with just a hint of the candy flavor.

**Relatable Flavors -** Like eating a perfectly ripe strawberry with just a little powdered sugar on it.

**Position In The Recipe -** This will work well as a top note or accent. I think that has too much strawberry kick to work as a base.

**Pairings -** This flavoring is other strawberries best friend my preferred strawberry blend is a 2:1 strawberry ripe TFA and strawberry TFA. Just a touch of dragon fruit really makes this flavor pop. That said should work well with all berries, creams, and great when paired with bakeries. For an adventure and odd flavor combinations try it with floral flavorings such as shisha Rosemary or zen garden

**Conclusion -** I'll let you make your own.

Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso)

**Setup:** Velocity Clone V1. Single Coil SS 26g. .6Ω. 22-30 Watts. Cotton Wick

**% Used:** 2

**Steep Time:** 1 day - 2 weeks

**Flavor Description:** Coffee,Roasted,Nutty,Slight Cocoa,Earthy,Green

**Off-Flavors:** Slightly bitter end note

**Pairings:** Creams, Mints, Mocha, Desserts, Tobaccos

**Position In The Recipe:** Mostly upfront to middle. Not a strong inhale flavor and not much on the end.

**Relatable Flavors:** Like eating a lightly roasted coffee bean after you've swallowed the bean itself, the taste it leaves on your palate. Sharp and bitter. Like a cup of espresso without any creams or sweeteners. Strong and slightly watery.

**Notes:** It's a black coffee. At .6Ω I had to drop it down to 22 W because I was getting a strong green note above that. Like a green coffee bean that slipped into the lot, not roasted. Earthy green. This flavor is usually mixed with a lot of other flavors piled onto it. Used as a coffee note and a very good one if not the best out there. Personally I can vape this alone @ 2% with 70 VG and the VG provides enough sweetness to make it a nice vape. If you like a Iced Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte, Milk Chocolate Melted Truffle Mocha, etc. This will provide all the coffee note your looking for. For sure.

Vanilla Bourbon

**RDA/** N22

**% Used/** 1.5% & 3% & 5%

**Coil/** dual parallel staged 28 + 28/0.5 ribbon clapton 60w

**Steep time/** S & V

**Wicking/** Full

**Mouth Feel -** Medium to heavy body. Overall a soft pleasant feel, but has a tiny hint of sharpness layered over the top. No throat hit.

**Flavour Properties -** Only slight alcohol/bourbon taste which appears as a sweet sugar or caramel overtone. The vanilla component is quite dense and feels like a heavy vanilla bean. Not overly complex, fairly 1-dimensional.

**Relatable Flavours -** Vanilla bean soaked in bourbon then dried and caramelised. Reminiscent of a rich vanilla bean ice cream without the cream.

**Off Flavours -** Slight tang, not entirely unpleasant but definitely there. It is probably the slight artificialness that comes from vanillin. At 5% it turns to cheesy chemical rubbish (TFA sweet cream type cheese).

**Position in the recipe -** Best used as a supporting flavour 1-3% for desserts and bakery flavours, or part of a layered vanilla/cream base. Would likely overpower some lighter fruits.

**Pairings -** Tobaccos, desserts, pastry, biscuits, cinnamon, caramel, heavy fruits such as dark berries

**Conclusion -** A great flavour to use when a ballsy vanilla is required.

Someone please tell me if I'm way off the mark here. I can happily take the criticism and just want to get better at this process.

Dark Vapure

**Notes**

"Taste of strong, dark tobacco, long lasting and sharp with dark cocoa nuances." - Flavor Art.

If your new and looking for a cigar/pipe flavor don't let this be your first. This is a very interesting flavor. designed for a specific purpose not a general one. It's a filler for your favorite tobacco. It provides the missing element it a dark tobacco vape. This has an aftertaste of wet pipe tobacco or just straight up chaw. Leaf chewing tobacco you put in your cheek not your lip. I can't tolerate that taste for long. I got my hands on some chewing tobacco at a young age, packed my cheek with the amount a professional baseball player would have done. In the middle of summer. Full energy playing baseball. In the blistering sun. 100% humidity...Got a nic rush, and as the old saying goes.."turned green at the gills." I don't use cliches much but if you've even been sick from chewing tobacco or dip, there is no better description. Dark Vapure I can tolerate. A lot of the NET's, TA's, Aromas and general tobaccos I've sampled have that wet tobacco aftertaste. Not all. I like the dryer stuff.

**Nose Neat:**

Dark tobacco. Faint chemical smell. Moist pipe, chewing tobacco.

**Flavor Description:**

Moist tobacco. Some reviewers report cocoa and green peppery notes.

**Off-Taste:**

None. Considering.

**Pairings:**

Tobacco as a filler.

**Position In The Recipe:**

Graham Cracker v1

**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 Graham Cracker v1 @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 19 days.

**Flavor Description:** Moderately thick inhale with building sweet bakery cinnamon. Exhale brings out an almost marshmallow vanilla note shot through with cinnamon. Fluffy. Light, sweet, and slightly grainy exhale, especially on the tail end. Dryer than you'd think something this sweet and fully flavored would be. Nothing too rich here. Almost an astringent lingering taste from the cinnamon.

**Off-flavors:** Capellas bakery cinnamon notes taste a bit sour and metallic to me. I get the same thing with Cinnamon Danish Swirl. Something creamy will take care of it pretty quickly though. More heat also seems to help.

**Throat Hit:** 2/10. Pretty inoffensive, especially considering the cinnamon here.

**Uses:** Well, uhhh... things that use graham crackers. Your smores and cheesecakes, etc. Also used pretty heavily with custards to give an extra dimension of flavor. Lots of mentions of using this in commercial clones. Extra volume and cinnamon in bakeries. Try a little in pretty much any mix that the cinnamon won't throw off or that isn't going to be hurt by some dryness. Would work as a tobacco enhancer for the right blend.

**Pairings:** Anything? VBIC, Custards, Cheesecakes, Berries. I'd stay away from already dry mixes but other than that knock yourself out. I've seen talk about adding some butter to make this a bit richer. Maybe AP to boost the graininess.

**Notes:** S&V tastes pretty linear up to 6%. I think it would blend even at that level, but you'd be adding a ton of other concentrates to take the edge off of this one. I'd stick with an accent at 3% or under. That cinnamon note isn't great, and I wouldn't want it standing out front. The dryness would also be problematic. Blends really well at lower percentages though. I'm obviously being a little trite when I suggest "anything" as a pairing but you'd be hard pressed to find something where this flavor wouldn't work. The texture is the bigger issue, and so you want a thicker, sweet, creamy (dairy or not) base for this stuff to play off of.

Makes a room smell awesome, for what that's worth.

**Second Opinions:**

ELR flavor page, again. Mostly positive, probably more aggressive on cinnamon and more realistic than TFA Graham Cracker Clear.

Positive, not particularly useful reviews on BCF and ECX

Good general graham info and /u/helloiamyourpeepaw offers a quick review. Heavy on the cinnamon, sweet and a bit crunchy.

**Mouthfeel**

Not much of a mouthfeel with this one besides a bitter feeling on the tongue on the inhale. Slight throat hit.

**Throat Hit**

4/10

**Flavor Properties**

Tastes just like bitter almond with a sugar glaze with a faint honey note. Slightly toasty.

**Relatable Flavors**

Marzipan. Jordan Almonds. Amaretto.

**Off Flavors**

Not an off flavor but for a sweeter almond extract type flavor go with FA Almond instead.

**Position In The Recipe**

This is a pretty tasty standalone vape although somewhat two-dimensional. This is a great alternative sweetener, and is especially good for giving a toasted almond flavor to bakery recipes and adding a touch of sweetness.

**Pairings**

Bakery, Stone Fruits (cherry, peach, apricot, plum), Apple, Fig, Cream, Vanilla, Other nuts, Orange, Banana, Caramel, Coffee, Honey, Pear

**Notes**

To mix things up a bit, I like using this as a modifier for orange in bakery recipes. I also like this as a topnote in a pistachio ice cream recipe that I may release someday but I’m still playing with. I really like the smell of this concentrate right from the bottle. Actually, I think that’s my favorite part about this concentrate. If you like keeping aroma molecules around just to smell, this one is a must buy. Seriously, this flavor smells amazing.

**Pairings**

Other banana flavoring, strawberries, candies, creams, and a few bakeries like cookie.

Rumor is Laura Ann's flavorings is not going to be cooperating with FDA Master list, not sure if this means the colorless concentrates will still be available, so if you enjoy this flavor you may want to pick up a large amount before the regs drop.

Here is a Wikipedia on runts candy, and Isoamyl acetate. I believe is the main ingredient in most banana flavorings along with link to make it easy to find.

Juicy Peach

**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 Juicy Peach @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 7 days.

**Flavor Description:** A relatively complex artificial peach flavor. Slight perfume notes, but a moderately thick full "peach." Reminds me of the kind of flavoring they'd use in a canned ice tea or mid-grade flavored vodka. Little bit of a a sticky mouthfeel, but nothing approaching gummy. Sweet, but not aggressively so.

**Off-flavors:** Subtle chemical notes. A little bitter and astringent, but pretty manageable. Some added fruit will help mask those flavors effectively.

**Throat Hit:** 3/10. Can get a little bitter and seems to tighten my throat up a bit with extended use. Absolutely nothing compared to TFA Juicy Peach, for me at least.

**Uses:** Peach body, with a more floral and aggressive Peach. Candy peach recipes. Would mix well in a straight fruit recipe. Probably a bit too artificial for bakeries. Would work well when you are trying to impart a commercial "peach" flavor to things like Ice Tea or cheaper peach ice creams.

**Pairings:** More complex, earthier fruits to add some complexity and some sweetness. Peach mixes with damn near every fruit I can think of. Should work unobtrusively with creams, ice creams, custards, etc. Candy texturizers.

**Notes:** Another reminder to steep your juice, even if it's just a straight fruit. This starts out super floral and kind of a chemical mess. That seems to be a running theme with the peaches I've tried. I like CAP's "juicy" line just because they provide some pretty straight-forward, if not particularly complex, flavors that mix well. I'd consider this a good lowest-common-denominator peach. It won't change your life or anything, but it gives you a clear, unmistakable, sort of artificial peach without the throat-hit of TFA Juicy Peach, or the pronounced floral notes and sharpness of FA White Peach.

**Second Opinions:**

ELR Flavor Description

Redditor fucking hates it

Vaping Underground forums: Bitter AF

I'm more positive on this flavor than other people. People seem to be lumping in with TFA Juicy Peach, but I think it's fairly different. Throat hit doesn't even seem comparable. Flavor is similar, but I like this execution quite a bit more.

This also doesn't taste like canned peaches to me. It has some of sweetness, and the mouthfeel, but ultimately it's too perfumy and artificial to read as canned or cooked in any way.

As to bitterness, it's there. I kind of like how it sets off the flavor, but my palette runs towards the bitter, so caveat emptor I guess. I don't find it unpleasant at all.

My tastebuds can get fatigued, so my process for these notes include trying a reference juice first to make sure my palette is working well and is loosely "calibrated" to whatever the hell it normally is.

Praetorian Guard

In Ancient Rome, the **Praetorian Guard** or **Imperial Praetorian Guard** was a unit of the Roman Army formed of elite soldiers initially recruited in Italy. These units originated from the small group of men around which surrounded the republican magistrates, known under the designation of praetor, and also originated from around roman legion camps where the legion commandant's (Latin : *Prætorium*) main tent garrisoned when engaged in battle campaigns. The **Praetorian Guard** is one of the most famous military units in Roman History.

They were first hand picked veterans of the roman army in charge of providing close protection security details to the Emperor and accompanied him on war campaigns. Due to their more robust infantry armor, they were often sent on war campaigns battling alongside supporting legions. They also served as secret police protecting the civic administrations and rule of law imposed by the Senate and the Emperor. The title was already used during the Roman Republic for the guards of Roman generals since the rise to prominence of the Scipio family around year 275 BC. The Guard was dissolved by Emperor Constantine I in the 4th century. They were distinct from the Imperial Germanic bodyguard which provided close personal protection for the late Western Roman emperors.

## Under the Roman Republic

During the Roman Republic, there was no permanent guard charged with the protection of military general officers. However, certain military officers chose to encircle themselves with soldier guards to ensure their security, giving birth to the first *Praetorian Cohortes*. In case of battle, these cohorts would intervene as a final reserve. The consuls were ordinarily protected by the lictors, whom would remain around their tents in the army.

At the siege of Numance, Scipio Aemilianus formed a troop of 500 men for his personal protection, as sorties were often quite dangerous for the upper ranks. This usage was then emulated and spread, as Roman generals occupied their positions for longer periods of time. Accordingly, this guard was referred to as *Cohors Prætoria*.

At the end of the year 40 BC, Octavian (the future Augustus) and his rival Mark Antony both operated a number of Praetorian units organized individually. According to Appian, amongst them were veterans forming cohorts. Mark Antony had three cohorts in the Orient and in 32 BC, he issued coins in honor of his Praetorians. According to Paul Orose, Octavian had five cohorts at Actium.

Following his victory at Actium, Octavian merged his forces with those of his adversary in a symbolic reunification in the army of Julius Caesar.

Key Lime

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .35Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

**Testing:** TFA Key Lime @ 3%; Aged: 25 days

**Flavor description:** Sharp, juicy, tangy, zesty lime taste with a very slight sugared candy nuance. Tart and not overly sweet. Pretty close to what an actual key lime tastes like.

**Off-flavors:** Nothing but limes here

**Throat hit:** 10/10 very sharp on the throat by itself.

**Uses:** Great as an accent (0.5-1%) to other citrus fruits and some berries or top note (2-4%) if you really like limes.

**Pairings:** Pair 2:1 or 3:1 with FA Lime Tahiti (I use cold pressed) to create a more rounded lime. Thick creams like Bavarian, Cheesecake, or a little Marshmallow are going to help take the sharpness away from this flavor as well. Also works well with citrus fruits, strawberries, and sometimes coconut if you do it right.

**Notes:** Not a very desirable standalone due to it's harshness. When using this flavor in a recipe, steeping is going to be very beneficial. Shake and vape with this flavoring is going to be pretty rough on your throat and is not recommended unless you're a bit of a masochist. ;)

Labyrinth

**Tested at 4%**

**Summary**

* Predominately I'm tasting FA Nonna's Cake with vanilla and caramel instead of custard. Vanilla pound cake flavor, slightly dense, topped with a dark caramel. It has a background of citrus fruit to me.

* I get a citrus pound cake flavor, fairly sweet, reminds me strongly of an unglazed lemon-lime bundt cake, drizzled with a dark caramel. The caramel is not creamy like the candy or a sundae topping. Similar to a caramel that has been cooked until just before it scorches, where most of the sugar has cooked out and it's no longer sickeningly sweet. I don't want to say bitter, and it's not burnt, but it's a dark caramel to me. I am also getting an almost alcohol flavor, like when someones adds too much vanilla extract to something. The description says "Sponge cake, vanilla, caramel and a host of fruity notes ... a real labyrinth of flavours to explore forever!

* I plan on breathing this for a few hours to evaporate that hint of alcohol. This is good, but I don't think it's something I would vape stand alone. Unless this changes with a longer steep, for my personal tastes it needs some creams or custards to round it out, and I would always reach for an actual lemon cake over this.

**Recommended Usage**

**Single flavor:** I would probably aim for 4-6% in a tank, or 3-4% in an rda.

In a mix .75-3% depending on the recipe.

**Throat Hit**

Mild to Moderate

**Steep**

1 week, although I'm hoping this will smooth out a bit with more time.

**UPDATE:** At 3 week steep this is not something I will be vaping at all. The citrus notes have become very forward, and it has developed that acrid note I got from Pandoro. I can't get past the dry citrus and find any caramel left for me, still slight hints of Nonna's Cake in the background. Tastes like a mix of Pandoro, Nonna's Cake, and Custard. Not pleasant at all for me. I hope everyone else has luck with this one. I am sensitive to some flavors though, like CAP Cake Batter and FA Joy...horrid to me. So don't let my experience turn you off please.

Vanilla Butternut

**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/ 2weeks % Used/ 4 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouthfeel**

Heavy on the tongue and light on the nose with a fairly dense mouthfeel 7 out of 10.

**Throat Hit** 3/10

**Flavor Properties**

A bright and sweet maple flavoring not artificial but the good stuff you get from the boys in Canada. The vanilla is smooth and vibrant, with the addition of the butternut maple flavor, it becomes complex, rich, and savory.

**Relatable Flavors**

Reminds me of true maple syrup with a touch of vanilla a very surprising find not what I was expecting at all.

**Position In The Recipe**

Accent- I use for this flavoring accent In other sweet notes and adding that hint of maple.

Base- if I was going for a purely maple flavor I believe this would be a great base note.

Top note- I think this is where this flavoring really shines the impression of maple is the first thing I taste when I put it in any recipe.

**Off flavers**

I've yet to find anything off about the flavoring other than the name is misleading I am getting no squash pumpkin flavoring from it at all.

**Pairings**

Bakeries, creams, candies, tropical fruits, stone fruits, dark berries, and spice flavorings.

**Recipe**

This is going to be an attempt at maple butter still a work in progress feel free to leave feedback.

Brandy

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

**Testing:** FA Brandy @ 2%; Aged: 17 days

**Flavor description:** Seems to carry a frosting or cream taste on the tongue with a sweet white wine and light candied nuance in the background. Surprisingly dense, similar to a light cream, not overly thick. I would say it is definitely a bit creamy with faint notes of apple or maybe white grape?

**Off-flavors:** Sharp and alcohol-like initially, but really smooths out after a steep.

**Throat hit:** 4/10 (after 1 week steep)

**Uses:** A candied or baked accent to fruits @0.5-2%. Works well in sprucing up bakeries and desserts.

**Pairings:** Your favorite fruits. Also, custards, creams, brown sugar, cinnamon.

**Notes:** I've been putting off this review because I don't know exactly how to describe the flavor, as it isn't really a full on boozy "brandy" taste, and I can't really identify the fruit(s) because they are extremely light. The creaminess also confused me. I've dripped almost 10mL of this in the past week and am still kind of unsure how this got named "FA Brandy", as I was hoping for it to steep into a more defined taste. I am hoping others can add to it below. Anyone tried this standalone at 4-5% or under 1%?

**EDIT:** I want to note that some individuals at ELR state that this can be used in place of FA Liquid Amber. I do not believe this to be true, as the Liquid Amber carries a lot more of a fermented fruit and tart taste without seeming remotely creamy.

Hazelnut

**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/3 weeks % Used/ 3 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouth Feel**

Heavy on the tongue super heavy on the nose, crazy dense going to give this 9 out of 10. Fantastic creamy mouth feel.

**Throat Hit** 1/10

**Flavor Properties**

Sweet dark nut flavoring with a light roast, rich creamy undertone.Very authentic and flavorful nut, can taste the skin along with a rich oil, I would associate with roasted nuts, creamy and silky smooth, buttery, malty, and earthy.

**Relatable Flavors**

This reminds me of lightly roasted hazelnuts I get at the movie theater with a coating of sugar, so creamy and buttery it also reminds me of a great nut ice cream.

**Position In The Recipe**

Base for accent I think this plan will work as both has an accent it should work to lift and round out cream, and in a base should have a depth of complexity and a earthy malt flavor.

**Off notes**

The very light aftertaste but doesn't stick around long and sweeter authentic hazelnut should be

**Pairings**

The first thing that comes to mind is creams, then bakeries, tobacco's, berries, other spices such as vanilla. Honestly having a hard time thinking of anything this is going to pair with off the top of my head I would avoid Citrus flavors, such as pineapple and orange.( but this may work as well under the right circumstances such as an orange creamsicle)

**Notes**

Eventually I do plan on adding notes on different percentages, and how it interacts with other flavors. Until then here is some additional information on hazelnut along with where you can find it.

Pineapple

**Setup:** Velocity mini clone with dual Claptons (26/36); .30 ohms @ 65 watts; full wicking.

**Testing:** TFA Pineapple @ 6.6%; Aged: No steep - 2 weeks.

**Flavor Descriptions:** At first this flavor tastes like a fresh, ripe, and juicy pineapple that evens gives off a slightly 'wet' feeling similar to INW Cactus. The only profile missing is that slight tang a pineapple has, otherwise it is fairly realistic. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on what you're going for I guess) this is not the profile that sticks around. After an overnight steep it changes into a pineapple juice, like someone took that realistic pineapple and squeezed the juice out of it till all that was left of it was the lifeless, shriveled husk of possibility and a glass of pineapple juice. After a further steep it loses more of its bright and juicy aspects and fades into a sweet candied pineapple, either a literal pineapple candy or a dry pineapple covered in some sugar; it is NOT a particularly bright, juicy, tangy/sharp, realistic pineapple.

**Off-flavors:** None at around 6%, I could imagine some weird sharp or almost sickly sweet if its pushed too high though. Edit: As many people have mentioned in the comments, some get an almost 'battery-acid' like note if used at too high a percent. This battery acid note can also make the vape very harsh.

**Throat hit:** None, 0/10 - it is smooth and has a similar 'wet' effect as INW Cactus.

**Uses:** Despite my ragging on it, I do think this flavor is usable both as a standalone and in a mix. As a standalone it can be used for a sweet, almost candy pineapple flavor and it can used in fruit recipes to add in brightness or make it juicier. Great for giving a slight tropical note to fruit mixes as well.

**Pairings:** Fruits is obvious, I think it might also work with creams. Can't really see it with any bakeries or custards though.

**Closing Thoughts:** Even though I ragged on this flavor for the way it changes from realistic to candied I actually really like it. It can help lift certain fruit notes up or add in some natural sweetness (that isn't a strawberry) into a mix, and just tastes pretty damn good in general. Overall I would give it a 7/10. Its been a while since I've done one of these, so please let me know if there's anything I can do differently for future reviews!

**Bonus Recipe:** So I'm gonna be a jackass and plug my own recipe, **Pearadise**.

Really hope I didn't fuck up the table, and if you mix it up I hope you enjoy.

Pear TFA

**Setup:** Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .35Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

**Testing:** TFA Pear @ 3%; Aged: 3 days

**Flavor description:** Very earthy, green pear-like fruit. Somewhat sweet, but not overly. Not very juicy on the tongue, but not necessarily dry either. Kind of a cheap pear candy nuance.

**Off-flavors:** The earthiness might come off as bitter or floral to some people. The aftertaste is a bit weird by itself as well.

**Throat hit:** 4/10

**Uses:** This flavor works well for adding some realistic earthy or bitter accents to other fruits in a recipe.

**Pairings:** FA Pear for some juicy sweetness, other sweet fruits, most stone fruits. (Think anything with a large pit/seed)

**Notes:** I wouldn't recommend this as a standalone fruit flavor, as it will likely need some help from others to make it work. It has it's place, but may come down to preference whether or not you want it in your mix. I personally like using FA Pear 3:1 or 4:1 with it to create a nice rounded pear flavor.

Butter Cream

**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 Butter Cream@ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 24 days.

Before we begin here, /u/mlNikon/ and I posted reviews within 15 minutes of each other. You should check that out here, especially because they get a clear butter flavor out of this.

**Flavor Description:** A subtle, undersweet, buttercream frosting flavor. When I've made actual buttercream frosting I've always been suprised by how waxy and fatty-tasting it actually is. Then I double the sugar and just go to fat-kid heaven. This captures the feeling of an undersweetened homemade buttercream almost perfectly.

Dense inhale. No real discernible flavor, just a heavy richness. Exhale is more of the same. Light sweetness, dense creamy flavor without pronounced dairy notes. I don't taste a ton going on here. I'd classify this more as a mouthfeel additive as opposed to a flavor. It gives the impression of buttery richness without cheesy dairy notes. It also doesn't give me that stale cardboard taste that you can get with dense flavors that don't have a lot going on. Finish is relatively clean, with just a lingering thick waxy mouthfeel.

**Off-flavors:** Finish is a bit waxy, but not playdough / phenolic like CAP glazed donut. It's a rich waxyness you'd get from an actual butter-cream.

**Throat Hit:** 0/10

Uses: Dense, rich, thick mouthfeel for creams and cream mixes.

**Pairings:** This flavor is nuetral enough that your pairings should be wide open. I added some buttercream to CAP cranberry and CAP grapefruit testers and it seems to work well with sharper fruits, so I'm going to officially say "damn near anything" including creams, all your fruits, bakeries, nuts, maybe even some tobaccos. I'd stay away from anything too astringent or heavy menthol.

**Notes:** You should probably just check the second opinions down at the bottom here. I get all mouthfeel and very subtle dairy notes. In terms of percentages, 1-2% is the definite consensus. I get a really noticeable change in mouthfeel as low as 1%. I'd stay away from using this as a primary flavor. The waxyness gets a bit much even at 4%. If everyone else is right, and I am crazy, then the butter/dairy notes will be too pronounced at higher percentages.

**Second Opinions:**

I picked this up (and I'm guessing I'm not alone here) when that Apple Buttah recipe from /u/goldfish18/ dropped. His description is basically straight up butter with a slight sweetness.

/u/thecleanvape calls it straight butter.

/u/RuntDastardly/ uses it a stroopwafel recipe for richness and the unctuous quality it brings to the table

ELR users pick up a strong butter taste

So, basically everyone else tastes heavy butter here. I don't really. I do get the impression of butter without the heavy dairy notes. I'm willing to assume that my taste buds are weird, but YMMV.
