Battle on the Ice

The **Battle on the Ice** was fought between the Republic of Novgorod led by prince Alexander Nevsky and the crusader army led by the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights on April 5, 1242, at Lake Peipus. The battle is notable for having been fought largely on the frozen lake, and this gave the battle its name.

The battle was a significant defeat sustained by the crusaders during the Northern Crusades, which were directed against pagans and Eastern Orthodox Christians rather than Muslims in the Holy Land. The Crusaders' defeat in the battle marked the end of their campaigns against the Orthodox Novgorod Republic and other Slavic territories for the next century.

The event was glorified in Sergei Eisenstein's historical drama film *Alexander Nevsky*, released in 1938, which created a popular image of the battle often mistaken for the real events. Sergei Prokofiev turned his score for the film into a concert cantata of the same title, with "The Battle on the Ice" being its longest movement.

## Background

Hoping to exploit Novgorod's weakness in the wake of the Mongol and Swedish invasions, the Teutonic Knights attacked the neighboring Novgorod Republic and occupied Pskov, Izborsk, and Koporye in autumn 1240. When they approached Novgorod itself, the local citizens recalled to the city 20-year-old Prince Alexander Nevsky, whom they had banished to Pereslavl earlier that year. During the campaign of 1241, Alexander managed to retake Pskov and Koporye from the crusaders.

In the spring of 1242, the Teutonic Knights defeated a detachment of Novgorodians about 20 km south of the fortress of Dorpat (Tartu). Led by Prince-Bishop Hermann of Dorpat, the knights and their auxiliary troops of local Ugaunian Estonians then met with Alexander's forces by the narrow strait (Lake Lämmijärv or Teploe) that connects the north and south parts of Lake Peipus (Lake Peipus proper with Lake Pskovskoe).

## Battle

On April 5, 1242. Alexander, intending to fight in a place of his own choosing, retreated in an attempt to draw the often over-confident Crusaders onto the frozen lake. The crusader forces likely numbered around 2,600, including 800 Danish and German knights, 100 Teutonic knights, 300 Danes, 400 Germans and 1,000 Estonian infantry. The Russians fielded around 5,000 men: Alexander and his brother Andrei's bodyguards (*druzhina*), totalling around 1,000, plus 2000 militia of Novgorod, 1400 Finno-Ugrian tribesman and 600 horse archers.
Battle Of Bannockburn

The **Battle of Bannockburn**was a significant Scottish victory in the First War of Scottish Independence, and a landmark in Scottish history.

Stirling Castle, a Scots royal fortress, occupied by the English, was under siege by the Scottish army. The English king, Edward II, assembled a formidable force to relieve it. This attempt failed, and his army was defeated in a pitched battle by a smaller army commanded by the King of Scots, Robert the Bruce.

## Background

The Wars of Scottish Independence between England and Scotland began in 1296 and initially the English were successful under the command of Edward I, having won victories at the Battle of Dunbar (1296) and at the Capture of Berwick (1296). The removal of John Balliol from the Scottish throne also contributed to the English success.[10] The Scots had been victorious in defeating the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, however this was countered by Edward I's victory at the Battle of Falkirk (1298). By 1304 Scotland had been conquered, but in 1306 Robert the Bruce seized the Scottish throne and the war was reopened.
Battle of Actium

The **Battle of Actium** was the decisive confrontation of the Final War of the Roman Republic, a naval engagement between Octavian and the combined forces of Mark Antony and Cleopatra on 2 September 31 BC, on the Ionian Sea near the promontory of Actium, in the Roman province of Epirus Vetus in Greece. Octavian's fleet was commanded by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, while Antony's fleet was supported by the power of Queen Cleopatra of Ptolemaic Egypt.

Octavian's victory enabled him to consolidate his power over Rome and its dominions. He adopted the title of Princeps ("first citizen") and some years later was awarded the title of Augustus ("revered") by the Roman Senate. This became the name by which he was known in later times. As Augustus, he retained the trappings of a restored Republican leader, but historians generally view this consolidation of power and the adoption of these honorifics as the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire.
Battle of Funkstown

The **Second Battle of Funkstown** (more commonly simply referred to as the **Battle of Funkstown**) took place near Funkstown, Maryland, on July 10, 1863, during the Gettysburg Campaign of the American Civil War. Union forces of the Army of the Potomac attacked the rear guard of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia during its retreat from Pennsylvania following the Battle of Gettysburg.

A strong Confederate presence at Funkstown threatened any Union advance against Gen. Robert E. Lee’s position near Williamsport and the Potomac River as he retreated to Virginia after the Battle of Gettysburg. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart’s cavalry, posted at Funkstown, posed a serious risk to the Federal right and rear if the Union army lunged west from Boonsboro. Stuart, meanwhile, determined to wage a spirited defense to ensure Lee time to complete fortifications protecting his army and his avenue of retreat.

As Brig. Gen. John Buford’s Federal cavalry division cautiously approached Funkstown via the National Road on Friday morning July 10, 1863, it encountered Stuart’s crescent-shaped, three-mile-long battle line. It was Stuart’s first defensive battle since reentering Maryland. The high ground constituted Stuart’s extreme right, held by Preston Chew’s horse artillery. A nearby stone barn and barnyard wall proved a superb defensive position for the 34th Virginia Battalion’s dismounted cavalry.

Col. Thomas C. Devin’s dismounted Union cavalry brigade attacked about 8:00 a.m. By mid-afternoon, with Buford’s cavalrymen running low on ammunition and gaining little ground, Col. Lewis A. Grant’s First Vermont Brigade of infantry arrived and jabbed at the Confederate center less than one mile away. Unbeknownst to the Vermonters, Gen. George T. Anderson’s Confederate brigade now faced them, the first time opposing infantry had clashed since the Battle of Gettysburg.[1]

By early evening, the Union Army began withdrawing south towards Beaver Creek, where the Union I, VI, and XI Corps had concentrated. Stuart had kept the Federals at bay for yet another day.

The day-long battle east of the road resulted in 479 casualties. The Chaney house served as a hospital. At the Keller home, Confederate Major Henry D. McDaniel, later the governor of Georgia, survived his wounds. He would spend the rest of the war in a Union prisoner-of-war camp.

A smaller engagement took place near Funkstown on July 7, three days prior to the Battle of Funkstown.
Battle of Quebec (1775)

The **Battle of Quebec** (French: *Bataille de Québec*) was fought on December 31, 1775, between American Continental Army forces and the British defenders of Quebec City early in the American Revolutionary War. The battle was the first major defeat of the war for the Americans, and it came with heavy losses. General Richard Montgomery was killed, Benedict Arnold was wounded, and Daniel Morgan and more than 400 men were taken prisoner. The city's garrison, a motley assortment of regular troops and militia led by Quebec's provincial governor, General Guy Carleton, suffered a small number of casualties.

Montgomery's army had captured Montreal on November 13, and early in December they joined a force led by Arnold, whose men had made an arduous trek through the wilderness of northern New England. Governor Carleton had escaped from Montreal to Quebec, the Americans' next objective, and last-minute reinforcements arrived to bolster the city's limited defenses before the attacking force's arrival. Concerned that expiring enlistments would reduce his force, Montgomery made the end-of-year attack in a blinding snowstorm to conceal his army's movements. The plan was for separate forces led by Montgomery and Arnold to converge in the lower city before scaling the walls protecting the upper city. Montgomery's force turned back after he was killed by cannon fire early in the battle, but Arnold's force penetrated further into the lower city. Arnold was injured early in the attack, and Morgan led the assault in his place before he became trapped in the lower city and was forced to surrender. Arnold and the Americans maintained an ineffectual blockade of the city until spring, when British reinforcements arrived.
Battle of Loos

The **Battle of Loos** was a World War I battle that took place from 25 September – 13 October 1915 in France on the Western Front, during the First World War. It was the biggest British attack of 1915, the first time that the British used poison gas and the first mass engagement of New Army units. The French and British tried to break through the German defences in Artois and Champagne and restore a war of movement. Despite improved methods, more ammunition and better equipment, the Franco-British attacks were contained by the German armies, except for local losses of ground. British casualties at Loos were about twice as high as German losses.

## Background

### **Strategic developments**

The battle was the British part of the Third Battle of Artois, an Anglo-French offensive (known to the Germans as the *Herbstschlacht* (Autumn Battle). Field Marshal Sir John French and Haig (GOC First Army), regarded the ground south of La Bassée Canal, which was overlooked by German-held slag heaps and colliery towers, as unsuitable for an attack, particularly given the discovery in July, that the Germans were building a second defensive position behind the front position. At the Frévent Conference on 27 July, Field Marshal French failed to persuade Ferdinand Foch that an attack further north offered greater prospects for success. The debate continued into August with Joffre siding with Foch and the commanders being over-ruled by Herbert Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War, on 21 August. On 3 May, the British decided upon use of poison gas in military operations in France. At a conference on 6 September, Haig announced to his subordinates that extensive use of chlorine gas might facilitate success despite the terrain, if the French and British were able to keep the attack secret and advance on a line towards Douai and Valenciennes.

## Prelude

### **British offensive preparations**

The battle was the third time that specialist Royal Engineer tunnelling companies, were used to tunnel under no-man's-land, to plant mines under the parapets of the German front line trenches, to be detonated at zero hour.
John Allan (colonel)

**Colonel John Allan** M.P. J.P. (January 3, 1746 – February 7, 1805) was a Canadian politician who became an officer with the Massachusetts Militia in the American Revolutionary War. He served under George Washington during the Revolutionary War as Superintendent of the Eastern Indians and Colonel of Infantry, and he recruited Indian tribes of Eastern Maine to stand with the Americans during the war and participated in border negotiations between Maine, and New Brunswick.

Operation Clausewitz

***Operation Clausewitz*** was the codeword initiation of the defence of Berlin plan by Nazi Germany during the final stage of the European conflict of World War II, the Battle of Berlin. Clausewitz was established in the 9 March 1945 document, *Basic Order for the Preparations for the Defense of the Imperial Capital* (German: *Grundsätzlicher Befehl für die Vorbereitungen zur Verteidigung der Reichshauptstadt*), a 33 page document containing 24 separate points. The second point of the document, in full (translated) is: "The Reich capital will be defended to the last man and to the last bullet." It has been referred to as the Nazis' last stand against the Soviets.

The document divided the city of Berlin into 9 operational defense zones (A through H, as slices of the outer city of Berlin and Z, its center, corresponding to the government district).:87 It further divided the region into four concentric rings: an outer exclusion zone, extending well past Berlin's city limits; an outer defense zone extending roughly to the city limits; an inner defense zone extending out to the Berlin Ringbahn; and the Citadel (German: *Zitadelle*), again, zone Z.:87 In addition to the establishment of defense zones, this document also described the overall mechanism by which Berlin would be converted to a front line city. This included:

* The evacuation of all Wehrmacht and SS offices in Berlin[5]
* Evacuation of the central command post of the capital from General Command on Hohenzollerndamm to L-Tower of the Zoo bunker no more than six hours after the issuance of Clausewitz
* The imposition of martial law for the civilian populace, and offenses under which the death penalty was authorized

Hitler ordered the execution of *Fall Clausewitz* on 20 April 1945. This set into motion preparedness according to the *Basic Order* plan, and would have been followed later by the codeword *Kolberg* meaning full preparedness should be completed and the battle has started.
Apple Pie

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

**Testing:** TFA Apple Pie @ 3%; Aged: 3 days

**Flavor description:** Cinnamon/nutmeg pie crust with decently tart yet sweet apple notes. A bit sugary. Tastes like more of a green apple due to it's tartness, but there seems to be a bit of red apple sweetness to it as well.

**Off-flavors:** The cinnamon/nutmeg flavor might be harsh for sensitive throats.

**Throat hit:** 7/10

**Uses:** Bakery recipes, or to add a light cinnamon/nutmeg spice note to your mix. If it already has fruit in it, it will blend well without the apple taking over at lower percentages.

**Pairings:** Creams, custards, caramel, cookies, possibly some nuts or tobacco. Another apple flavor such as FA Fuji or INW Two Apples if you're after a stronger apple taste.

**Notes:** To me, this is definitely a crust-forward flavoring, but the apple taste sits noticeably in the background

Waffle

**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 Waffle @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 21 days.

**Flavor Description:** It's not a great all-in-one waffle at 4%. The waffle itself is a bit weak and flat. What is there tastes a whole lot like your eggo-calibre frozen waffle. It's not a complex bakery taste, more just the odor of pale yellow eggos. Maple note is there, it's a pretty good recreation of artificial maple syrup with a bunch of melted butter in there. Maple isn't particulary sharp and the butter doesn't taste especially rich.

Inhale is thin, with an almost acrid maple note. A little sweetness and buttery richness shows up towards the end of the inhale. Eggo perfume on the beginning of the exhale. Maple is a lot more rounded and noticeably buttery here. Maple gets a bit bitter again as it lingers on the exhale. Thinner taste overall than you'd think. Moderately sweet, especially that maple note.

**Off-flavors:** Maple gets a bit weird, especially on the inhale. I'm going to stick with acrid. Slightly plastic-y until it gets fuller and evens out on the exhale. Sour note. Seems to be a running thing with me and savory capella flavors but I just find them to a bit sour solo. Not sure if anyone else picks up on this or it's a quirk of my taste buds or setup.

**Throat Hit:** 2/10. Just a bit harsh, but no one component stands out as being the harsh one.

**Uses:** Maybe a single flavor or the waffle base for a fruit. Could be used to add richness to a dryer waffle or pancake flavor.

**Pairings:** Just spitballing here, but I'm guessing it would work well with strawberries and blueberries. Something like CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream for the buttery smoothness. Maybe some chocolate or banana. VBIC or something similar would work as well.

**Notes:** This one is hard for me to recommend. I think at low percentages (2-3%), the flavor is really muddy. There is way too much going on to really be used as much but an rich accent for a very similar flavor that's a bit dry. As you increase the percentage, up to about 8%, the concentrate gets overwhelming sweet and the maple gets sticky and cloying. The actual waffle base stays pretty subtle. As a side note, this really needs time to come together. Flavor is a mess as a S&V.

Just from doing the prerequisite googling, it seems like TFA Belgian Waffle or INW Waffle is going to be a better option for most waffle applications. If you just want to throw this at a bunch of bright berries and cream, then you could probably do worse than this flavor though.

**Second Opinions:**

/u/onionscanbesweet/ is into it, in the comments

A couple of good notes on the ELR Page

Fair amount of older talk about the flavor on the ECF Forums here, and here. Those are some vintage percentages..

Battle of Alamance

The **Battle of Alamance** was the final battle of the War of the Regulation, a rebellion in colonial North Carolina over issues of taxation and local control. Some historians in the late nineteenth-early twentieth centuries considered the battle to be the opening salvo of the American Revolution,[1] and locals agreed with this assessment.[2] Yet, this has been questioned by present-day historians arguing that the Regulators (though viewed in the eyes of the royal governor and his allies as being in rebellion against King, country, and law) were not intending a complete overthrow of His Majesty's Government in North Carolina. They were only standing up against those certain local officials who had become corrupt and unworthy tools of the King, and they only turned to riot and armed rebellion as a last resort when all other peaceful means through petitions, elections to the Assembly, etc. had failed to redress their grievances. Many surviving ex-Regulators became loyalists during the Revolution, and several anti-Regulators [e.g. William Hooper, Alexander Martin, and Francis Nash] became patriots during the Revolution. Named for nearby Great Alamance Creek, the battle took place in what was then Orange County and has since become Alamance County in the central Piedmont about six miles south of present-day Burlington, North Carolina.

## Events prior to the battle

In the spring of 1771, Royal Governor William Tryon left New Bern, mustering and marching approximately 1,000 militia troops west to address a rebellion that had been brewing in western counties for several years, but which had included only minor, scattered acts of violence, followed by refusals to pay fees, disruptions of court proceedings, and continued harassment of government officials. About 2,000 so-called "regulators" had gathered, hoping to gain concessions from the Governor by intimidating him with a show of superior force. Funded by council member and wealthy merchant Samuel Cornell for £6,000,on May 11, Tryon left the county seat of Hillsborough with his militia to confront the Regulators, who had made camp south of Great Alamance Creek in western Orange County (present-day Alamance County).

**Mouth Feel**

Smooth and heavy on the tongue,and light on the nose. Not as dense as I was expecting but still up there 8 out of 10.

**Throat Hit2/10**

**Flavor Properties**

A creamy Rich smooth butter flavoring. I feel like I'm gaining weight just trying this out,  the cream comes off perfectly balanced with the fat, a hint of sweetness. Definitely taste like  cow's milk butter and taste like right out of the churn.

**Relatable Flavors**

Hello butter!!!!  Doesn't come off as movie theater style butter, more of the stick of butter when would you use for baking or cooking, even reminds me of clarified butter.

**Off flavors**

I am truly shocked, finding no off flavors other than that lingering aftertaste, and noticed at higher wattages aftertaste gets a little worse.

**Position In The Recipe**

Base note or accent,  this flavoring could easily be built upon, and used to Accent or push forward buttery notes in custards and cookies. I'm actually enjoying it as a standalone which is weird.

**Pairings**

Custard's and creams,  desserts, tobacco's, coffee's, chocolates, candies, and nuts along with most Fruit and Berry flavorings.

**Recipe**

I definitely something fantastic coming soon, and finally found what I feel is the key ingredient.

Camp 19

**Camp 19** is a POW prison camp created and operated by Abundance.

## History

The camp was created with the express purpose of holding Prisoners of war from Abundances war with Aurora. It is an old drilling wel, located away from the front and an ideal holding area.

The prisoners work different jobs here to keep the camp running independently. Trains are the only link to other enclaves.

## Staff

The Camp 19 guards are Abundance soldiers withdrawn from the front for health reasons or some failing on the battlefield. They take fewer risks, and their greatest enemy is boredom. The leader of the camp is a Technomancer named Sean, whom the rest of the staff fears.

### Known Staff

* Sean
* Bob

### Equipment

The Staff is equipped with both guns and Melee weapons. They also have a number of Dogs to help them keep order.
Kiwi Double

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

**Testing:** TFA Kiwi Double @ 5%; Aged: 6 days

**Flavor description:** Candied kiwi taste, fairly sugared. Sits nicely on the tongue. Not extremely juicy per se, but not exactly dry either. Maintains steady flavor through the inhale and exhale. Slightly resembles a pear or green apple.

**Off-flavors:** Slight boozy/wine note at 5%

**Throat hit:** 4/10.

**Uses:** This flavor can be used to accent other fruits in a recipe, but I would keep it below 4% unless you're going for a kiwi-candy taste.

**Pairings:** Other fruit flavorings.

**Notes:** Doesn't exactly taste like an actual kiwi, but carries enough flavor profile to pass as kiwi candy flavor. Not a great standalone, as it likes to be with other fruits.

Frosted Donut

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

**Testing:** TFA Frosted Donut @ 5%; Aged: 6 days

**Flavor description:** Very sweet and cakey. Not an overly dense cake, but not too airy either. I would almost pass the "frosted" part off as more of a melted powdered sugar on the tongue if you will. Definitely more of a cake than a donut though.

**Off-flavors:** I don't taste anything off at 5%.

**Throat hit:** 4/10.

**Uses:** I can see this working as a cake, and it would likely play well in any bakery or dessert recipe.

**Pairings:** Fruits, creams, nuts. Could potentially benefit from the addition of a thicker cream.

**Notes:** To me, this comes off as more of a cake than a donut, but still a good one to have in your arsenal if you're trying to develop a tasty bakery recipe.

Tres Leches

**Setup:** Recoil with flavor cap. Dual round wire coils @ .25 ohms. 60W.

**Testing:** FW Tres Leches @ 5%. Steeped: 10 days.

**Flavor Description:** This is a very pleasant flavor. It reminds me of a dense cake that has been doused in sweetented condensed milk. Fairly thick mouthfeel, you can actually taste the cake in your mouth. Very smooth and creamy. Tres leches has plenty of sweetness on its own. The sweetness reminds me a lot of fw yellow cake it does have corn syrup in it so that explains the type of sweetness I am getting. It is not quite as sickeningly sweet though. The sweetness is shown throughout but really shines at the finish of the exhale.

**Off Flavors:** None to be had, this is a very authentic flavor. Well, I have never had tres leches but I imagine it is true to its name. Hopefully someone else who has had this dessert can clarify but it tastes how I imagine a tres leches would taste.

**Throat Hit:** 0/10, This flavor is super smooth and does not irritate the throat at all.

**Uses:** I can see this being used in decadent dessert vapes. Like maybe a duchess clone \*ahem. It would be good to thicken up custard vapes or even be good to add some moistness to bakeries. This is a very versatile flavor and is a must buy imo.

**Pairings:** Berries, Stone fruits. I see this going very well with caramels and butter-scotches. This flavor is too heavy for most citrus or tropical fruit flavors. I can also see cinnamon working very well with it. It has a somewhat dark sweetness that I believe would also go very well with graham cracker.

**Notes:** I would definitely use this as a yc replacement in recipes that also have custards or creams in them. I have tried Jungle Flavors yellow cake as well as FLV Pound cake and although both good, they do not compare in flavor (FLV) or mouthfeel (JF) to FW Yellow Cake. If it is supposed to be a dryer bakery recipe this would not work however, due to how creamy and rich this flavor is, it is not a very "fluffy" flavoring.

**Second Opinions:**
- ELR flavor notes
- Surprisingly, no one on atf has made a recipe public using this flavor, nor are there any notes on it. Maybe this is one of those hidden gems that is underrated?
- Alisa uses this ingredient just as I would in a sweet cake with caramel and butterscotch

Razzleberry

**Setup:** Velocity Clone V1.Single Coil SS 26g. .4Ω. 30 Watts. Cotton Wick

**% Used:** 12.5

**Flavor Description:** Berry Sweet Tarts Candy

**Off-Flavors:** None

**Pairings:** Candy, Some fruits maybe.

**Position In The Recipe:** Upfront. It's got a beginning, middle and end though.

**Throat hit:** 3.5/5

**Relatable Flavors:** Bottle caps candy. Razzles. The candy that turns into a gum.

**Uses:** Candy mixes. It's really not bad stand alone. It's not something I'd want to drop into a natural fruit flavor mix though.

**Notes:** Neat flavor. A novelty.It's a stand alone candy flavor that has a few things going on all at once. Nothing wrong with it at all. For what it is.

Grapefruit

**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 Grapefruit @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 8 days.

**Flavor Description:** Bright. Medium sweet on the inhale with a faint grapefruit flesh taste. Exhale brings out some sourness and bitterness with a citrus rind sting. Well balanced if a bit simple grapefruit. Kind of tastes like the missing link between FW Blood Orange and FW Ruby Red Grapefruit. It could just be the sourness but I get a mild bit of effervescence here.

**Off-flavors:** None.

**Throat Hit:** 7/10. It's there, but not out of line for a citrus.

**Uses:** Accent flavor for fruit mixes. Volume for a citrus mix. Effervescence would lend itself to something like Grapefruit soda or a cocktail recipe.

**Pairings:** I'd stay away from bright harsh flavors like green apples and pears. Berries, Pineapple, Guava, Pomegranate. Creams. Too bright and harsh for bakeries, or spices. Cactus for juiciness.

**Notes:** This is pretty solid. I had a vial hidden in some older supplies from a Wizard Labs order and decided to give it a shot. Apparently the market is lousy with decent to good grapefruit concentrates. I still prefer FLV Pink Guava for an interesting grapefruit, and FW Ruby Red Grapefruit for a more robust sweet grapefruit juice. This has real potential though, especially is the carbonation holds up in a mix. It tastes more like a sweetened white grapefruit, instead of an inherently sweet ruby red grapefruit. All in all, a really pleasant surprise. 4% seems like a really solid single flavor percentage. The bitter notes are fairly subdued for a grapefruit, so at lower percentages it should add to a mix without being too distracting. Unobtrusive and tasty.

**Second Opinions:**

Reddit agrees CAP Grapefruit is... ok. Check the comments.

Soda recipe on ATF

Not a super popular flavor. BCF just added it. WL has had it for a while. Used pretty sparingly on ATF and ELR. For what it's worth I agree with both the OP and the comments from that Reddit link. CAP grapefruit is a bit flat compared to competition. I'm excited to test the carbonation part of this, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Banana FLV

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

**Testing:** FLV Banana @ 3%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 10 days.

**Flavor Description:** Artifical banana, more instant pudding than candy banana. Not too sharp, hints of vanilla in there too. Pretty solid flavor.

Inhale is fairly strong fake banana. Not sweet enough that it reads as straight candy. Ripe banana on the beginning of the exhale. Lightly sweet, and moderately dense. Non-dairy, almost coconut creaminess comes through after that with some warm floral vanilla. Really light lingering fake banana on the exhale. Lingering bit of plastic bitterness with that banana candy flavor.

**Off-flavors:** A little bit bitter and plasticy on the back end. Fairly mild, but probably takes it out of single flavor territory.

**Throat Hit:** Light. Bit harsh deep on the throat exhale for whatever reason. Inhale has some overwhelming fake banana, but it doesn't really cross into throat hit for me.

**Uses:** Puddings. Creamy banana in fruit mixes. Milkshakes. I'm sure there are more creative uses for banana.

**Pairings:** The custard of your choice. FLV Vanilla Custard for a banana pudding, CAP Vanilla Custard for something eggier and heavy. Creamy coconut like FA Coconut would help up the creaminess here. It should work with FLV Cream or FA Fresh Cream in that milkshake application. Guanabana/Soursop/Cherimoya would be great here, accentuating the creamy banana notes in those concentrates. Bright fruit like strawberries or pineapple. CAP Graham, TFA Graham Cracker Clear, or TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust would be great for the malty notes. Seems like a good banana for mixing with chocolates.

**Notes:**

I've only got two other bananas for comparison. It's less harsh candy then LA Banana Cream, and creamier than TFA Banana Ripe. Actual banana flavor here is similar but the overall vape is creamier and smoother.

I'm thinking percentage used is going to vary with your sensitivity to banana flavors. Recognizable but faint at .5%. I like this quite a bit at 1.5-2%. You get most of the creamy banana without pushing too far in that candy banana. Higher than 3% and you're going to go straight banana candy, if that's your thing. That candy banana gets plastic pretty fast, so I'd avoid this as a primary note. You're going to get deep into off-flavors before you saturate the flavor enough to get a super strong candy banana taste.

Overall, seems like a good banana for creamy mixes under 2%.

**Second Opinions:**

Deleted user's quick take on flavor, finds a lot more realism here.

/u/botboy141/ finds it comparable to TFA Ripe Banana.

Cranberry FW

**Testing**

Steep Time: 10 days; Percent Used: 3%; PG/VG 50/50; Nicotine: 0%

**Setup**

RDA: Twisted Messes Squared

Coil: Groove Fused Framed Corrugated Staple

(2x28SS316/36KA1::4x0.4N80::2xCorrugated0.4N80::1x40N80)

(5.5Wrap::DualCoils::0.12ohm)

Power: 65 Watts; Wicking: None (Wickless)

**Mouthfeel**

Very Smooth. Light density. Slightly tart on tongue.

**Throat Hit**

3.5/10

**Flavor Properties**

Strong dry cranberry flavor. Not particularly candy-like, but not embodying the full body of a natural cranberry either. Slightly tart and bitter, but not nearly as much as FLV cranberry. Tastes more like the flesh of the cranberry than the rind, but with hints of the rind still present. Not sweet. Smoother than cranberry juice flavor.

**Relatable Flavors**

Some elements of cranberry flesh. Cough Medicine.

**Off Flavors**

While the cranberry flavor itself has a natural flesh flavor with a hint of rind, there is also a potent medicinal taste as well.

**Position In The Recipe**

This flavor could work with other cranberries/berries/stone fruits as a base or modifier, but it would need to be balanced to mask the medicinal off flavors. It’s a strong flavor, so could work well at lower percentages in conjunction with other fruits to provide more body and sweetness. It could be used for a touch of tartness or bitter mouthfeel as a topnote, though probably wouldn’t be my first choice in most recipes for this purpose.

**Pairings**

Other cranberries, berries, stone fruits, nuts, orange, citrus, vanilla, and creams.

**Notes**

Still not the craisin I’m looking for. With a lot of experimentation this might work with other flavors to get there, but not unless the medicinal taste goes away at lower percentages or longer aging. The actual cranberry flavor is nice, but the off flavors seem to be overpowering at 3%, which is lower than most FW percentages I would use. Could be good for a sizzurp flavor though I don’t know why you’d want to vape that.

Pralines N Cream

**RTA/** Goblin Mini

**% Used/** 5

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

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

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** Almost zero throat hit. Smooth through the nose and lungs. Moderate creamy mouth feel (no homo)

**Flavor Properties-** I get swirls of caramel and nutty undertones with bits of crushed pecans. For those who have never had Pralines & Cream (in which case, I would ask what the fuck is wrong with u?), its actually caramel mixed in with pecan nuts with vanilla bean ice cream. unfortunately, i do not get much, or any at all, of vanilla bean ice cream

**Relatable Flavors -** almost like a butter pecan ice cream, but less buttery, with more gooey caramel upfront

**Off Flavors -** There is a bit of an aftertaste which i can't put my fingers on. I get the same taste with fw macadamia nut and a few other fw flavors. since it's so mild, i believe some basic layering will make it go away

**Position In The Recipe -** Like a lot of FW flavors, this would be great as a base note. I could imagine making a really creamy and nutty ice cream with this. It could even work as an accent note, creamy, smooth, sweet and nutty. Similar to FW Hazelnut.

**Pairings -** I would imagine this going well with other nuts (peanut butter, almond), or some kind of cream base (vanilla bean, fresh cream, etc). It might even work with fruits (if you like the juxtaposition of fruits and nuts). Feel free to add some FA Caramel or FW Caramel candy in there to reinforce the caramel notes.

**End notes -** This is a great flavoring. If you like nutty and creamy flavors like FW Hazelnut or TFA Pistachio, I would recommend this one for sure. Also, be patient as I have a few more flavor reviews in the pipeline. Will be posting 'em later after I come back from dinner.

Cantaloupe FLV

***Summary***
This flavoring offers a really nice cantaloupe flavor that's almost creamy. Very smooth flavor, semi sweet, nice cantaloupe. It's perfectly ripe; I don't detect any of the green parts close to the rind, or rind itself. It does get a little sharp on the throat if used too high. In trying this at a single flavor at 2% and in a mix at 1%, those seem like good places to start with it. The throat was a little sharper than I would like at both of those %s, so if you want to avoid a sharp throat, I might suggest bringing them a touch lower (1.5% & 0.75% respectively).

One thing that's interesting about this flavoring is how well it accents fruit and cream mixes, particularly "orange" fruits (mango, apricot, peach, etc.). It does a great job at bringing a non-citrus "orange" accent to a mix that is smooth and velvety. Experimentations with Mango Lassi found the cantaloupe to round out the mango nicely while also lending some additional creaminess that it needed without any unwanted dairy notes (used @ 0.5%).

**On the Nose**
A subtle, ripe, sweet, cantaloupe-esque scent.

**Usage**
*Stand alone*: 1.5-2%. You get a really nice cantaloupe at 2%, but it's a touch harsh; bringing it down to 1.5% reduces the harshness to an acceptable level in my book, but is a bit underwheling by itself.

*In a mix*: 0.25-1% depending if you're going for an "orange" creamy aspect, or more forward cantaloupe flavor.

**Throat**
Harsh

**Pairings**
Creams, other melons, "orange" fruits, berries, other fruits.

**Avoid**
Coffee, heavy caramels/butterscotches, overly eggy or dairy flavors/mixes. I want to say tobacco, but it might actually work well as an accent to like an apricot tobacco or something.

**Steep**
I'd give this one 2 days. It's a fruit so it doesn't need much time for that cantaloupe flavor to come through, but if you want the full effect of the velvety texture it's best to let this one harmonize with the other flavorings for a bit. Seems to hold a steep pretty well from 1-3 weeks, but haven't kept a mix around more than a month.

**Quick Recipe: Melon Mix**

*Ratio: 10PG/90VG* *Steep: 3+ days*

* FLV Wild Melon @ 1.5%
* FLV Cantaloupe @ 0.75%
* TFA Marshmallow @ 1%
* FLV Cream @ 1%

In this recipe you can see how the cantaloupe lends itself to accent the melon mixture by offering its delicious sweet cantaloupe flavor, as well as aiding the cream base. If you sub this cantaloupe for a different one, you'd find yourself with a tasty mix that has a good cantaloupe note to it, but it wouldn't be quite as creamy. I find this % of cantaloupe to be enough to push that forward cantaloupe flavor you're looking for, while benefiting the creams and keeping the harsh throat under control.

John Chard

Colonel **John Rouse Merriott Chard** VC (21 December 1847 – 1 November 1897) was a British Army officer who received the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valour "in the face of the enemy" that can be awarded to members of the British armed forces. He earned the decoration for his role in the defence of Rorke's Drift in January 1879 where he commanded a small British garrison of 139 soldiers that successfully repulsed an assault by some 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors. The battle was recreated in the film *Zulu* in which Chard was portrayed by Stanley Baker.

Born near Plymouth, Chard attended the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich and was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in July 1868. He was involved with the construction of naval fortifications in Bermuda and Malta before he was deployed to southern Africa at the start of the Anglo-Zulu War. At the end of the war he returned to a hero's welcome in England and was invited to an audience with Queen Victoria. After a series of overseas postings he took up his final position in Perth, Scotland. He retired from the army as a colonel in 1897 after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died at his brother's home in Somerset later that year.

**Single Flavor Testing Notes**

I could keep this one super quick and just say GO OUT AND BUY IT, IT'S THAT GOOD!! And it is its so so so nice.

If I'm honest I love peaches but I can't recall ever having a white peach. Peach however yeah I've had loads I love em but this white peach flavour is on par with a peach if anything I find it not as Juicy or sweet as peach but either way it's fantastic.

Again FA have produced a winner here spot on in accuracy, it's semi sweet, fresh and ripe and absolutely no harshness at all.

I can't say much more really just go and get some it's a must.

Create the perfect peach with Fa white peach and Fa peach

So play around its going to work in bakeries, diaries, desserts, beverages and other delicate fruits

Anise

**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 Anise @ 1% and 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 15 days.

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

At 4%, a sweet, slightly muted anise flavor. Sweet, moderately dense inhale. Flat, oxidized lime juice flavor builds towards the end of the inhale. Exhale has flat slightly bitter black licorice top notes. The anise here is light, almost like the anise flavor you'd get from steeping star anise pods in a cider or sauce. I'd say it's fairly realistic in that way. That flat citrus flavor is pretty prominent. Sweetness is a bit much.

**Off-flavors:** That citrus note and sweetness are probably not what you're looking for in an anise.

**Throat Hit:** 2/10. Mild for anise.

**Uses:** Anise to punch up fruit mixes, somewhere between 3-5%. The anise itself isn't sharp enough for candy licorice notes, and the weird lime flavor isn't going to work all that well with creams or bakeries.

**Pairings:** Apples, Melons, berries, mints.

**Notes:** Really subdued for an Anise or herb/spice flavor. I was using this expecting a strong bite, and then wondering why it wasn't showing up in my mixes. Testing as a shake and vape, 4% really does seem to be where this flavor comes out. Pretty solid up to 8%. Flavor stays in the background and the sweetness takes over.

Extremely limited utility for this. I'd say you are better off using a small percentage of FA Anise and filling your profile out with better flavors.

**Second Opinions:**

"Flavor sweet sweet anise to pull more to the sweetened aniseed than to the taste of the plant / root, brighter than the FA anise, transparent, weak intensity, 8% strong, 6% secondary flavor, 4 just to flavor. Tendency to lose character with long steepings, combines well with fruits or vanilla, however little intense, it is necessary to use above 6% to notice in the recipe. Pleasant and non-chemical but begins to weigh the recipe if used above 8% leaves little room for other more complex aromas or recipes."

Corroborating evidence that this a good but weaker, accent flavor

Almond

**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/7 weeks % Used/ 1 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouthfeel**

Light on the tongue heavy on the nose with a moderate density 5 out of 10.

A slightly chalky mouth feel.

**Throat Hit 2/10**

**Flavor Properties**

A complex nutty flavor with a rich and smooth, very earthy almost Woody flavor. This flavor is something of a conundrum, I get a creamy and buttery note, along with a chalky and slightly dull note at the same time.

**Relatable Flavors**

This flavor reminds me of almond milk, and eating raw almonds, as close as I've ever tasted in vapor.

**Position In The Recipe**

Given its density and useful applications I would have to say this is a base note, it could also be used as an accent to bring out complex nutty flavorings in other flavors such as fa cookie.

**Off flavors**

The one thing I've noticed when mixing with this flavor is I often get a strong Hospital antiseptic note, but did not perceive that in the single flavor mix.

**Pairings**

Other nuts, creams, bakeries, tobaccos, candies, chocolates, savory, and spice flavorings such as cardamom or vanilla.

**Recipe**

Obviously not one of mine but I feel this recipe really highlights the flavoring well.

https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/2358#vanilla\_almond\_milk\_by\_vurve

**Notes**

This flavor is very strong, as are most flavor art flavorings start low and move up.
