Double Dutch Chocolate

**My build:**

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

**Percentage Mixed**

Mixed standalone at 5%

**Steep Time:**

4 days. This one does not need a long steep for the chocolate to come out.

**First impressions:**

Now most people will not find this surprising but I think it's still worth a mention. This flavoring is BLACK, like tar black. It is most definitely without a doubt a coil killer. I'm sure you'll find that a lot of chocolates are plagued with this malady.

Upon taking a quick sniff, I pick up notes of rich cocoa. There's an apparent dark chocolate note to it with a soft undertone of what I assume can only be cream.

So we've established that it looks like chocolate and smells like chocolate, how does it vape?

**Taste:**

I took one puff. I took two more puffs. Before I knew it, I couldn't put my atomiser down. This flavoring is incredible! It's tasty, full-bodied, borderline-malty and it perfectly represents what a good chocolate should be!

It's slightly bitter and sweet, like dark chocolate. I also pick up a faint backnote of cream. I don't think I've ever had Dutch Chocolate so I can't draw an accurate comparison. With that said, I can definitely claim with the utmost confidence that Flavor West hit this one out of the park.

There's none of that fake Tootsie roll chocolate like TFA Double Chocolate Clear. Instead, you'll find a rich, comforting chocolate, like a cup of hot cocoa your mum would make for you when it's raining heavily outside.

**Standalone/Mixer:**

This definitely works as both! It would be a great standalone because of how nuanced it is. You get some cream, you get that tinge of bitterness, a little maltiness and of course, sweetness! But it never goes into cloying territory, I would say it has high ADV potential!

**Is this 4oz worthy?**

Yup! My only regret is not picking up a bigger bottle of this (I only got a vial). This flavoring works as a good base for many chocolate type recipes. It can also work as an accent to give other flavorings a touch of dark complexity. YMMV.

**Edit:** Someone requested that I vape more of it to see what effects it would have on the coil. So I vaped like 4.5mls of it in my Kayfun. The coils are SLIGHTLY charred but surprisingly, it still chugs fine. No burned taste of any kind. However one thing to notice is the cotton. Black as tar!

Cup of Joe

**Setup:** Velocity w/ flavor barrel, 5 wrap Clapton 3mm, 60w power, Full Cotton Wicks.

**Mouth Feel** - smooth and Rich with a slight throat hit light on the tongue and yet it's still pretty dense I would give it a 6 out of 10

**Flavor Properties** - bitter with just a hint of sweetness and cream the two months house really Tamed that skunky bitter coffee flavor but definitely still there

**Relatable Flavors** - a cup of very dark black coffee similar to cafe coffee FW

**Off Flavors** - the usual on Bitters skunky flavor you get with a coffee flavoring

**Position in the recipe** - my thoughts are definitely a top note at a lower percentage and with a few friends could possibly work in a base

**Pairings** - the obvious sweet creams.

Flavors like butterscotch or Carmel

should pair well with chocolates personally thinking white chocolate

Most bakeries such as cheesecake and cookie flavorings should work well and lastly maybe a little cinnamon

French Toast

**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 French Toast@ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 25 days.

**Flavor Description:** French toast perfume. This tastes like frozen french toast sticks smell while they bake. Lightly fluffy flat bread, super buttery maple syrup with some vanilla, and slightly sour bakery cinnamon and nutmeg. Pervasive egginess.

Sweet, moderately thin inhale with bakery cinnamon and nutmeg notes. Exhale just blooms into buttery maple with a hint of vanilla. Some white-bread fluffiness and a light thin custard note. Lingering metallic note and thin slightly bitter maple.

**Off-flavors:** This tastes like the custard you soak bread in for french toast. It's eggy. May not be an off-flavor if you enjoy it.

**Throat Hit:** 4/10. Just a bit harsh and a little weird on the throat.

**Uses:** The essence of french toast. Add some supporting flavors to push the aspects of this you want to the forefront.

**Pairings:** I'd push the egginess here, by adding some Cap Vanilla Custard v1. Would go well with buttery creams and bright or jammy fruits. Whiskey or liquid amber to give it some more warmth. Joy or CDS for a more full breadiness. Really, this is discontinued so if you have it just find a solid recipe and enjoy.

**Notes:** Nightmare dark and (i'm guessing) probably half diketones by weight, this has been discontinued. I wouldn't have mixed the tester if I had done my research beforehand, but I only figured that part out when I got to my second opinion googling. I was iffy on posting on a review for something discontinued, but I figure there has to be people like me who impulse bought this, and then promptly didn't do anything with it.

**S&V testing**, I like this up to about 3%. The thinness of the flavor becomes pretty pronounced above that. There is a lot going on here, but it just doesn't cohere into a dense, thick flavor. It's more a chorus of thinner flavors stacking on top of each other. Even at something like 2% this is going to be unmistakable and would bully it's way into being a main note in the profile.

It's actually kind of a bummer that this got discontinued. Just from my limited experience I haven't found a concentrate that works like this one. It's a really interesting, although super distinct, concentrate. Apparently RF has a french toast flavor that may work as a sub. I'd personally suggest mixing up a couple batches of Blueberry French Toast v2 and chalk it up to the game. Or just add it to your coffee with some cream. Seem to works pretty well there too.

Kiwi

***Set up***

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

**Single Flavor Testing Notes**

Again flavourart have cracked it here,I really want to find a bad flavour because it seems I'm always praising this company and its maybe getting boring but that's nothing to be disappointed by it just proves they make top notch flavours.

This kiwi is again spot on flavour wise, however it does tend to lean more towards a candy kiwi.

It's super smooth though and despite its sweetness it's flavour is very authentic.

So if you like kiwi this should be your goto. It works very well as a Standalone great flavour and smells great. It seems a strong flavour at 3% so tame this down I can't see it altering the profile especially if combining with other fruits. It will go awesome with Strawberry, melon,berries etc and should allow other fruits to pop.
If you want super sweetness jazz this flavour up with a little marshmallow.

Not much more to say really authentic if slightly candy but again another winner from flavourart.

**Notes**

Great flavour, candy,sweet,fresh,ripe

Sweet Cream TFA

**Setup**

*RDA/ Velocity Coil/ 6 Wrap Single Fused Kanthal Clapton 2×26 core 32 wrap W/ 45 Wicking/ Full cotton bacon v2 Ω/0.26*

**Testing**

Steep Time/8 weeks % Used/ 6 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouthfeel**

Heavy on the tongue and nose, with a smooth and dense mouthfeel 8 out of 10.

**Throat Hit** 1/10

**Flavor Properties**

This is a very dense flavoring  but surprisingly light on the butter, very creamy with no vanilla, also slightly nutty, and has a savoury cheese flavoring.

**Relatable Flavors**

Reminds me of heavy whipping cream lightly sweetened, with a handful of Parmesan cheese.

**Position In The Recipe**

I can see this working as a bass note or as an accent,

I believe as a base base note its applications would be something along the lines of an alfredo, or cream soup recipe.

As an accent use it to height and other creams, and bring out buttery cheesy notes.

**Pairings**

The first thing that comes to mind is  savory flavorings, followed by creams, Stone fruits, berries, and bakeries.

**Recipe**

https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/7876

**Notes**

Comparison to cap sweet cream, similar yet different, this is definitely cheesier, heavier, on the dairy and slightly more dense.

No Wikipedia on this one, but here's a link to make it easier to find.

Strawberry Lemonade

A very tart and sweet citrus flavor that is a spot on flavor for a strawberry lemonade. It smells and tastes exactly like a freckle lemonade from Red Robin or Simply Lemonade. The strawberry sneaks beneath the banner of lemon to enhance and bolster the mix as a whole. The lemon is natural and sweet with just the right amount of acidity. This flavor is in no way candy-like, Pledge-y, or Cough syrupy. It's flavor profile is excellent and stands on its own.

BUT!

This flavor is incredibly oily. Upon adding this flavor to VG, the mix will turn cloudy and NEVER turn clear. At any percentage, it will be a pain and nearly impossible to get the flavor solute to dissolve completely into the VG. It is essentially an emulsion like salad dressing. Heating and shaking will dissolve a lot of the flavor but no all of it, especially at percentages >10%.

Given that the flavor has a lot of trouble dissolving into VG, the flavor will be incredibly muted when vaping. This is due to the flavor never truly mixing to form a homogeneous mixture. The mixture is at best a colloid. Therefore, I do not recommend this flavor. I went through an entire 10ml bottle trying different %'s trying to make it work but alas could not. I am very sad. I love the flavor...but hate that it seems to be rather unusable with VG.

Passion Fruit

**Setup:** Kangertech Subox; single coil kanthal (0.5) with cotton wick;25 watts

CAP Passionfruit @5%; 50/50 PG/VG; 0% Nic; steeped 14 days

**Flavor:** Very light, airy tropical fruit flavor resembling a mixture of pomegranate and papaya.

**Off flavors:** Slight syrupy flavor tends to emerge at higher percentages, but is negligible at 5%.

**Throat hit:** Almost nonexistent

**Use:** Great accent to other other fruit/berry flavors well, or work well in a berries & cream recipe. Can be excellent standalone at highest percentages.

**Pairings:** Berries and other fruits, whipped cream or vanilla, would taste great in a custard

**Source: Reddit**
Pear

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

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

**Flavor description:** Juicy, bright, crisp, sweet, authentic pear taste. Very refreshing. Not tart or bitter. Leaves a lingering sweetness on the tongue.

**Off-flavors:** None

**Throat hit:** 2/10 very smooth

**Uses:** Great mid or top note, I have also heard of this used in place of sweetener or as an accent to tropical fruits or strawberry at lower percentages.

**Pairings:** Use with a small amount of TFA Pear to provide earthiness and create a well-rounded pear flavor. Also works well with almost any fruits in a mix. Holds up well with creams as well.

**Notes:** If you're after an authentic pear flavor, this is a must have.

Catalan Cream

**Testing**

Steep Time: 16 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**

Light and Creamy. Milky texture. Bitter linger.

**Throat Hit**

2/10

**Flavor Properties**

A complex, sharp vanilla flavor with a mild creamy texture. A bit of vanilla spice on the inhale, with notes of orange and lemon citrus, a dark caramel and cinnamon on the exhale. This flavor is semi-sweet, or perhaps one might even find it to be bittersweet, similar to the sweetness of a dark chocolate, in that there is a touch of sweetness that offsets the bitterness, but I wouldn’t characterize this as a sweet flavor. (This flavor doesn’t taste like dark chocolate, only comparing to the sweetness level).

**Relatable Flavors**

Crema Catalana or Crème brûlée.

**Off Flavors**

There is a slight bitterness/sour milk note and a faint alcohol note. Tastes slightly chemical or artificial to me.

**Position In The Recipe**

Some may enjoy this as a standalone flavor, however it wouldn’t be a single flavor vape for me. This can be a useful flavor if used the right way (and it agrees with your palate), such as added spice to a cream/custard base, but it’s lacking somewhat in sweetness and is a bit light and sharp for a single flavor vape or base ingredient. For me the off flavors and strength of the spice have kept this out of any of my recipes.

**Pairings**

Creams, Custards, Bakeries, Bold Fruits, Tobacco, Coffee, Caramel, Chocolate, Spices

**Notes**

While it is a complex flavor, and on paper it hits many of the notes of a true Catalan Cream, it doesn’t seem like I’m actually tasting the real thing. This flavor is like the spice mix without the actual dessert. While it has notes of dark caramel, it’s lacking the intensity of the burnt sugar crust. While it is slightly creamy, it is missing the weight and body of the cream/custard. It’s more bittersweet than sweet and the vanilla bean flavor overpowers the cinnamon and citrus notes. The cinnamon is very faint, and if I didn’t already know what to look for, I might not have been able to identify it at all. The off flavors may drop off at lower percentages with the potent spice still remaining present in a mix.

Cookie Butter

**Setup­**

*RDA/ Recoil Coil/ 6 ­Wrap Dual Fused Kanth­al Clapton 2×28 core ­32 wrap W/ 45 Wicking­/ Full/ cottonbacon V2 /0.44*

**Testing­**

Steep Time/2 weeks % ­Used/ 5 PG/VG 50/50 N­ic%/0

**Mouthfeel­**

Heavy on the tongue, ­light on the nose. Mo­derately dense but on­ the heavy side of th­e scale. I would give­ it 6 out of 10.

Something of a conund­rum, it has a creamy ­yet dry mouthfeel.

**Throat Hit** 2/10­

**Flavor Properties**

Cookie butter another­ interesting offering­ from the folks at Fl­avor West. The flavor­ almost breaks into t­wo separate categorie­s, very good cookie, ­a little dry. There's­ definitely a malty a­spect to the cookie f­lavoring like a graha­m cracker.

The butter flavoring ­doesn't taste like a ­realistic butter. It'­s more of a cream or ­marshmallow flavor wi­th a hint of nut, I'm­ thinking hazelnut.

**Relatable Flavors**

I would relate this t­o a cookie milkshake ­without the extra swe­etness or vanilla.

**Position In The Rec­ipe**

Flavoring should work­ well sitting in the ­background as a base note bumping up other­ bakery flavors. Coul­d also see it being u­sed as an accent to g­ive some nutty malty ­qualities to a recipe­.

**Off Flavors­**

There is a very perce­ptible aftertaste as ­a single flavor mix. ­The malty nutty flavo­r sticks around for a­ little longer than I­ was expecting.

**Pairings­**

Bakeries, cream, vani­lla, candies such as ­marshmallow and caram­el, chocolates, cerea­ls, perhaps spice fla­vorings such as carda­mom and cinnamon. Mig­ht even pair well wit­h mint or tobacco alt­hough these are two I­ typically don't play­ around with.

**Notes­**

Overall I feel this i­s a unique flavor is ­not bad, but I'm not ­sure how useful it's ­going to be.

I picked this flavori­ng up on my hunt for ­the perfect shortbrea­d cookie recipe. I wo­rked with it in sever­al different recipes ­trying to make a Samo­an Girl Scout cookie ­and as far as that go­es it's not what I'm ­looking for. The sear­ch for a delicious bu­ttery shortbread cook­ie continues.

**Rating 70/80­**

Whipped Cream FW

**RDA/** Velocity

**% Used/** 5

**Coil/** Clapton **W/** 45

**Steep Time/** 2 weeks **Wicking/** Full

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

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

**Flavor Properties-** Cream whipped to perfection, ( just before it turns into butter ), it's a light fluffy Dairy moderately sweet with none of the eggy or vanilla properties you find another creams and custards.

**Relatable Flavors -** Reminds me of Cool Whip, or drinking a glass of heavy cream.

**Position In The Recipe -** Given its light density, I believe this is going to be most useful as an accent to other creams give them up fluffy mouthfeel.

**Pairings -** Other creams, bakeries, chocolates, dark berry flavors, and a few nuts like pistachio, or hazelnut should really help make this flavor pop.

Bilberry

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

**Testing:** FA Bilberry @ 3%; Aged: 3 days

**Flavor description:** Tart, jammy, very dark blueberry taste.

**Off-flavors:** none

**Throat hit:** 5/10

**Uses:** Use 0.5-2% as a tart accent to other dark fruits in desserts/bakeries. This is a fairly strong concentrate.

**Pairings:** Dark fruits, creams, tea, chocolate.

**Notes:** This flavor is very powerful, it is recommended that you start at 0.5% and work up as desired so it doesn't over-power a mix. May also require a bit more steep time to reach full potential compared to most fruits. I plan to re-visit this one in a week or so and include any further notes.

**Bonus notes:** I had to look up what a Bilberry even was, turns out they're closely related but not quite the same as a common American blueberry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilberry

Tiramisu

**RDA /** velocity

**% Used/** 2.5 **coil/** Clapton **w/** 55

**Steep time-** 2 weeks wicking/full

**Mouth Feel -** dense and creamy heavy on the tongue with no throat hit

**Flavor Properties-** super rich espresso coffee flavor with a hint of cream and just a wisp of the lady finger cake flavor you expect in a tiramisu

**Relatable Flavors -** like eating a roasted expresso bean

**Off Flavors -** as with most coffees getting a slightly skunky flavor

**Position in the recipe -** should be a fairly good top note may be quite difficult to work into the background but Maybe possible lower percentages

**Pairings-** vanilla and cream should do nicely to complete the tiramisu experience I believe good cake or cookie would definitely help, some boozy flavors like TFA Kentucky bourbon or fa Jamaican rum should help give it some warmth.

Quince

***Summary***
To me, if a Pear and an Apple had a baby, it's name would be Quince. TFA Did a really good job of nailing this fruity profile down. It's got that really soft pear sweetness, and a bit of brightness that you'd expect from an apple to really bring it to the front. Because of this, it sweetens a fruity profile wonderfully. This concentrate is VERY strong, very noticeable even when used at 0.25%. It can also easily overtake a mix, so you'll typically want to use a light touch when mixing with it.

**On the Nose**
Smells like Quince. Like a sweet bright pear.

**Recommended Usage**
*Stand alone*: 0.5-1%

*In a mix*: 0.25-0.75%.

**Throat**
Mild to Moderate

**Ideal Pairings**
Pear, apple, tropical fruits, bright fruits, melon, light creams

**Avoid**
Only thing I can really think of is coffee

**Steep**
1-3 Days, flavor does mellow out a bit with a steep.

Sweet Mango

**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 Sweet Mango @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 18 days.

**Flavor Description:** So, seriously check the second opinions here. Sweet, perfumey inhale. Really heavy overripe mango on the exhale. Overripe to the point where I'm almost getting a diacetyl style movie-theater butter note. Light perfumey note sits over the top of the rest of the flavor through the exhale. Thick and sweet. I'd hesitate to call it creamy. It's more just dense almost chewy. Lingering perfume note. Light Peel notes, especially on the beginning of the exhale.

**Off-flavors:** This is super overripe at 4%. I'm definitely getting a buttery flavor.

**Throat Hit:** 3/10. Those perfumey notes can get a bit harsh solo. Also a tiny bit of chest tightness that builds with prolonged use.

**Uses:** Lower percentages to flesh out mango and other tropical fruits. Maybe a bit too fleshy for something like mango nectar. Buttery notes might pair well with creams, again at a lower percentage to avoid some of those overripe notes.

**Pairings:** FLV Mango, FA Mango, TFA Mango. Astringent pineapple like TFA. Dryer bright fruits. Creams and custards.

**Notes:** So, percentage is key here. I'd keep this under 2% and avoid this as a main flavor. This gets super weird super fast. S&V tested from .05 to 6%. The sweetness is hard to manage, along with that overripe flavor.

**Second Opinions:**

This one is pretty well documented, and I'm much more negative on it than everyone else. Like a lot more. It's primarily used for as a complement mango for sharper flavors and other tropical nonsense.

All of your answers on how to use this concentrate and damn near any other mango you'd want to use are in there.

Cream Cheese Icing

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

**Testing:** LA Cream Cheese Icing @ 3%; Aged: 2 weeks

**Flavor description:** Sweet, rich, and thick with a light cream cheese note and hints of wet powdered sugar and cereal milk on the exhale. At 3% standalone, it really pushes more towards frosting than icing. Reminiscent of a jar of Betty Crocker rich and creamy white frosting.

**Off-flavors:** Alcohol note initially which steeps out eventually. The cheese note may be off putting or sour to some people at higher percentages, although I feel it adds to what the flavor is supposed to be.

**Throat hit:** 4/10, smooth and dense.

**Uses:** Great for adding mouthfeel and thickness to cream bases. Also nice for adding a sweet icing/frosting top to your favorite bakeries. May work with yogurt flavors to add a more authentic dairy note too.

**Pairings:** Creams, cakes, cookies, coffee, cereal, yogurt, preferred fruits.

**Notes:** This flavor may require a bit longer steep time to develop true potential and evaporate the alcohol out. A pretty useful flavor for many different aspects of a recipe depending on how you use it.

Horchata FW

**RTA/** Goblin Mini

**% Used/** 5

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

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

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** No discernable throat hit. Smooth through the nose, throat and lungs.

**Flavor Properties-** Creamy, milky, vanilla, cinnamon-ish, rice pudding

**Relatable Flavors -** This is just like drinking real life horchata. For those who don't know, horchata is a cinnamon-vanilla rice milk drink. At 5%, I get fairly mild notes of spices, milk and a touch of vanilla.

**Off Flavors -** Nothing particularly off about it. No chemical aftertaste or smell.

**Position In The Recipe -** This will work as a delicious base note. I could see people using this at about 5 or 6%, then using fruits, vanilla, creams and other spices to help bring out that realistic horchata taste.

**Pairings -** Vanilla, cream, nutmeg, custard, fruits, pumpkin, coffee, the sky's the limit!

**End notes -** This is a really good flavor. It's relatively sweet, creamy, milky and is the foundation of a good horchata flavor. As a standalone, I would vape it at 8% (trust me, it's really good!). As an accent, I would start around 3 - 4%.

Cantaloupe

**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 Cantaloupe @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 14 days.

**Flavor Description:** Thick inhale. Moderately sweet inhale with some perfume notes. More of the same on the exhale. Sweetness is pretty subdued. Melon flavor square in the middle of the exhale. Flat, thick flavor with some perfume notes that don't quite cohere into a full cantaloupe flavor. Other reviews have mentioned creaminess, and I don't quite agree. It's definitely thick, but I'm not getting a smoothness I'd call creamy. No dairy notes there. I'm getting a flatter melon candy flavor under those perfume notes, not a realistic cantelope.

**Off-flavors:** Perfumey, especially on the inhale and lingering notes on the exhale.

**Throat Hit:** 5/10. This is pretty rough initially. Seems to smooth out a bit with extended use, but that initial note is pretty offputting.

**Uses:** Density would lend itself to mixes with brighter fruits. Something like a brighter watermelon flavor, where this would thicken the mix up. Mixes well with creams and vanillas. Perfume is tamed a a bit with creams.

**Pairings:** Mints, other melons, strawberry. I'd stay away from floral fruits like peaches and pears. VBIC seems to work really well. FLV Cream or FA Fresh Cream.

**Notes:** This confuses me a bit. I had to warm up to this flavor. It starts out almost soapy and perfumey and kind of settles into a pretty dull middle of the road melon flavor. Putting it down and walking away for a while it always seems rough on the first couple hits. Those perfume notes are a bit hard to manage. A subtle melon note and sharp perfume notes are going to make this hard to manage as a primary flavor in a mix. I'd stick to 2-4% as a supporting player.

Both INW Melon and FLV Cantaloupe are really good for this style of melon. I have a hard time coming up with a use that one of those wouldn't be better for.

**Second Opinions:**

Used in Wayne's HoneyDEWWEY recipe, he talks about a pleasant sweetness and using it to add a layer to TFA Honeydew at 3%

2,106 ELR Recipes. Notes talk about good level of sweetness, and authentic flavor.

Positive Reviews on ECX all around

From a melon FOTW post, /u/jiffythekid calls CAP Cantaloupe "Eh by itself but it complements other melons really well." They also call it realistic.

I agree with most of this, but this really doesn't read as realistic for me. I just get a flat flavor, without the nuances of a real cantaloupe.

**My build:**

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

**Percentage Mixed**

Standalone/3%

**Steep Time:**

5 days.

**First Impressions:**

The liquid is green but it's definitely natural. It's not an artificial food-dye color, but more of a natural hue of green, something resembling a plant (duh). This is probably one of few colored flavorings I've seen (aside from the obvious chocolate). However, I feel I need to mention that the color goes away after mixing it with VG, PG and nicotine.

It's also important to note that the coloring might be an isolated incident as few mixers have said their FA peppermint looks clear.

First few sniffs offer a very fresh smelling scent. It reminds me of those red and white peppermint candies you can get during Christmas. It's a little bit sweet and there's also a touch of cream.

**Taste:**

This is spot-on peppermint candy! I get the sweetness on the tip of tongue followed by a hint of creamy goodness. However, the mint is on the mild side that it's almost non-existent. For fans of mint and menthol, you definitely need to add other flavorings such as FA Spearmint, TFA Menthol and TFA Koolada to get that back-of-the-throat chilling sensation that you enjoy.

**Standalone/Mixer:**

I thoroughly enjoy this as a standalone, however I believe this flavoring truly shines when it's complemented with other flavors. You could definitely make a delicious chocolate mint with this. Maybe a vanilla mint cream. Or even a Wrigley's gum if you lean that way. The possibilities are endless.

**Pairings**

Fruits, desserts, chocolate, candy. You could add this in small amounts to brighten up a dull mix.

**Is it 4oz-worthy?**

Well, it's relative. If you enjoy mints, menthol and things of that nature, you will definitely want to pick up a bottle of this.

**Recipe:**

I got inspired by DB Liquids rendition of a vanilla mint cream. This is my take on that.

Mango

**Setup:** Velocity mini clone; dual Claptons @ .30Ω; Full cotton wicks; 65 W.

**Testing:** TPA Mango @ 10%; Aged: None - Two Weeks.

**Flavor Description:** Starts off as a not very juicy mango, more like the meat or pulp. Becomes similar to a mango puree after a week steep, more of a soft/mellow mango flavor as compared to the brightness/juiciness of a ripe mango. After two weeks it tastes much closer to a ripe and juicy mango but it still has a bit of that 'puree' element to it, with a dash of brightness that makes it more fresh fruit like.

**Off-flavors:** Starts off tasting like a mango puree or artificial juice, mostly fades out by two weeks.

**Throat hit:** Most noticeable at the end, I give it 4 or 5 out of 10. I may have have over-nic'd it (oops).

**Uses:** Good in a tropical mix, or could do well as a base in a melon vape because of that thicker 'puree' quality.

**Pairings:** Tropical fruits, other melons, maybe creams.

**Notes:** So far I've been most successful using it in a Monster Melon's clone, and it does a very nice of providing a mango flavor throughout the entire vape. Doubtful of if it would make a good main note though, the profile just isn't right for it. It would need to be more bold or bright.

**Rating:** 7/10.

First time that I'm making my own flavor notes post, please let me know if there are any areas that need improvement- i.e. more or less details in a specific section.

Juicy Orange

**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 Orange @ 4%, 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 11 days.

**Flavor Description:** Fairly light inhale. Building sweetness. Dry sweet orange inhale. Juiciness comes out a bit on exhale. Pretty straightforward out of season navel orange flavor with a solid sweetness. Almost an orange perfume type of vibe, over a sweetener. Just a hint of pithy bitterness on the tail end of the exhale after the sweetness fades out. Lingering citric almost tannic dryness.

**Off-flavors:** Not a flavor per se, but this gets waxy. Seems to be pretty consistent through temperature range.

**Throat Hit:** 7/10. Doesn't seem that bad, but builds quickly and is pervasive. Also strangely inconsistent. The throat hit comes and goes. Tightens my throat up with extended use.

**Uses:** Primary use seems to be top notes for orange juice blends. Sweet and thin enough to play well with milk chocolates, using it like an orange essence. Flavor tastes a lot like what they'd use in something like a chocolate orange. Creamsicle-type orange flavors.

**Pairings:** Sweeter citrus, especially FA Mandarin and CAP Sweet Tangerine. Lemon Sicily, or a sweeter lime like Key Lime or INW Lime. I'd stay from fruit and citrus that builds on that throat hit. Sweet tropical fruit. Medium creams, like FA Fresh Cream or FLV Cream. Your favorite smooth milk chocolate flavor. Sweet berries.

**Notes:** Pretty realistic, not great orange. Like a school lunch navel orange flavor. I wouldn't call this a juicy orange, although it tastes a lot like orange juice. Or the essence of orange juice without all of the acidic body and overwhelming sugar. No real rind, or bright citrus oil type of flavor. That throat hit though. This flavor is tempting, but even at 2% that throat hit becomes a defining characteristic of a mixed juice. If you could deal with the throat hit, it's useful. I can't.

*CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME...*This is like what they add to storage orange juice to bring back the top notes.

**Second Opinions:**

No love on ECX. 4 reviews, 2 star average. Primarily complaints that the flavor is weak.

A couple of good reviews on BCF.

I don't think this is all that weak, or at least not all of the concentrate. The fuller body part of the orange flavor is definitely on the weak side, but that perfumey orange note is pretty unmistakable even at lower percentages. I'd use this a lot like /u/matthewkocanda at a relatively low percentage and get my sweet orange body from something else. Or just skip it entirely and use FW Blood Orange. Found some scattered accounts of using this closer to 15% in a juice. These people are lunatics.

Golden Pineapple

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

**Testing:** CAP Golden Pineapple @ 4%; Aged: 2 days

**Flavor description:** Sweet pineapple taste with a bit of added sugar and a touch of subtle tartness. More of a canned pineapple taste.

**Off-flavors:** Slight notes of oranges, but not unpleasant.

**Throat hit:** 7/10.

**Uses:** Great for summertime mixes. 3-5% as a top note or in smaller percentages (0.5-2%) as an accent to other fruits. A must have for a Pina Colada recipe.

**Pairings:** Citrus fruits, tropical fruits, coconut, light creams or vanillas.

**Notes:** A bit more robust than INW Pineapple, but a little less authentic. I use it with INW to make a more rounded pineapple taste. Ratios can vary depending on what you're after.

**Coil/** Single **W/** 30

PG/VG 50/50 Nic% 0

**Mouth Feel -** Dense, thick, slightly creamy, smooth

**Flavor Properties-** Sweet without being overcloying, strong honey properties coming through, reminds me of a pastry or some kind of bakery

**Relatable Flavors -** It reminds me of straight up honey. I know it says tobacco but all I smell and taste is honey.

**Off Flavors -** Nothing that I could pick up.

**Position In The Recipe -** I believe this is supposed to work as a base. However, I know people have also used this as a honey accent, too THIS is what TFA honey should have been.

**Pairings -** cream, tobacco, bakery, fruits, tea

**End notes -** I have mixed feelings about this flavoring. It's a really delicious honey flavoring but the tobacco never really comes through. After a taking a few pulls, I guess I do get the faint taste of honey and bacco. I just wish it was more prominent. Still, this is a great flavoring that can be used if you can't find another honey flavoring for whatever reason.

Butterscotch

**Setup:** Mutation v4, Dual 24g N80 7 wrap 3mm id, full wicks

**Testing:** FW Butterscotch Natural at 4% (70%pg) steeped 5 days.

**Flavor Description:** This is a light, creamy butterscotch. Very milky and buttery, I think butyric acid is used here for butteryness. Notes of brown sugar and vanilla. Not candy like whatsoever, this is a butterscotch cream if anything. I like it as a standalone.

**Off-flavors:** Butyric acid, just needs to steep a couple days but it can be a bit funky as a shake and vape. Reminds me of FLV Pistachio because of how creamy it is and the butyric acid taste.

**Throat Hit:** Kind of perfect, I get a minimal throat hit when hitting this a couple times in a row. Nothing scratchy but its there. 5/10

**Uses:** I would use this as a base for a butterscotch cookie or ice cream at 4-5%. Can lend some creamy and buttery qualities at lower % but I have not worked extensively with it.

**Pairings:** Bakery and Creams forever. Other Butterscotch, Caramel, coffee, tobacco, nuts, and some fruits like banana, apple/pear, coconut and maybe apricots.

**Notes:** This is my first butterscotch flavoring. I wanted to use it for an ice cream flavor and I’ve got a good start on one.

Butterscotch FLV

***Summary*** I like this butterscotch a lot, to me it reminds me of a mix between a butterscotch candy and a butterscotch drizzle. You get a nice deep buttery note to give it good body, a dark caramelesque sweetness, and a bit of an astringent bite to it which I find helps cut through some of the more thick or dense vapes. It's not quite as creamy as I would like a butterscotch, but makes for a great butterscotch, caramel, or sweet-buttery accent to a mix. It really benefits from another cream or creamier butterscotch/caramel, in particular FW Butterscotch Ripple for a super decadent butterscotch.

**On the Nose** Butter, prominent dark sweetness, slight alcohol note.

**Recommended Usage** *Stand alone*: 3%. Decent but needs help.

*In a mix*: 1-2%

**Throat** Moderate

**Pairings** Other caramels/butterscotchs, creams, banana, vanilla, tobacco, coffee.

**Avoid** Bright fruits, melons, citrus.

**Steep** 3-4 days.

**Quick Recipe: Butterscotch Banana Frozen Custard**

*Ratio: 20PG/80VG* *Steep: 1 week*

* TFA Banana Cream @ 4%
* HS Banana @ .75%
* FLV Butterscotch @ 2%
* FW Butterscotch Ripple @ 3%
* TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream @ 3%
* CAP Vanilla Custard @ 2%

This is my go-to butterscotch vape. Butterscotch & Banana pair surprisingly well. As a decadent profile, it lends itself extremely well to super decadent vapes.

In this mix, FLV Butterscotch's role is to reinforce the butterscotch note and kind of cut through the heavy creams from the Custard, VBIC, and Ripple to offer that buttery dark sweetness you're looking for in a butterscotch. Without it, the butterscotch profile isn't as noticeable as you want it to be, and is a bit too creamy (as if that's possible).

While very tasty and decadent, I don't recommend making something like this your ADV unless you want to snack on your lungs during the movies.

**Edit -** Sub Ideas: I know a lot of people won't have HS banana if they want to mix this up. It's job here is to just bring the banana flavor a bit more forward. You can try bringing the TFA Banana Cream up a bit more, subbing with FA Banana (1-1.25%), leaving it out, or using your favorite banana in its place (I did try TFA Ripe Banana and was not a fan of how it turned out.

Sweet Cream

**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/8 weeks % Used/ 6 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouth Feel**

Heavy and smooth on the tongue and nose, moderately dense 7out of 10 with a very creamy mouthfeel.

**Throat Hit**

2/10

**Flavor Properties**

Rich and very buttery sweet cream, I cannot decide  weather I taste vanilla in this or not, if there is it's not floral and blends perfectly in with the cream, the dairy in this flavoring is very thick like a heavy cream, I'm also getting very light cheesy note along with some earthy and nutty flavor.

**Relatable Flavors**

Remind me of sweetened heavy cream or a light sweet cheeselike brie, or Mascarpone.

**Position In The Recipe**

This should work well as a base note adding creamy and buttery flavors to your recipe, I could also see it working as an accent at low percentages boosting other less buttery creams, and  not a bad stand alone flavor at 6%.

**Pairings**

Berries, Stone fruits, tropical fruits, coconuts, creams, coffees, tobaccos, bakeries, candies, and nut flavorings.

**Recipe**

https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/8219

**Notes**

I don't normally let a flavoring go this long  before testing, this one slipped by me.

I'm surprised how much I actually like this flavor as a standalone.

As always here's where you can find it, and a Wikipedia on Mascarpone if you're not familiar with this cheese it is fantastic.

Honey

So a few months ago my roommate ordered 10ml of TFA Honey against my advice... I haven't ordered flavorings in a while so i decided to attempt to tackle TFA Honey so i would have something new to play with.. (Because ~100 flavors isn't enough of course).

**So here's my first attempt:**

* TFA Strawberry - 4%
* TFA Bavarian Cream - 2%
* TFA Honey 10% Dilution - 2% OR TFA Honey - 0.2%

Since I basically have the taste of the first two ingredients imprinted into my brain from the early days when I had 120ml of both, and few others to work with, its pretty easy to isolate the flavor of the TFA Honey.

Im about 5mls in to this bottle, and its honestly not that bad. The honey is there, but not totally overpowering. Here are my impressions so far (Mixed two days ago, 10mls at 90% VG):

* Floral - definitely has a floral/perfume flavor. Faint in the sense that it doesn't taste like a particular flower or scent (ex. it doesn't taste like "lavender" or "rose") , but very present. Present more on the exhale.. Makes me think of chai tea, not sure why.
* Earthy - it kindof tastes like dirt.. or like... dirt. I'm not sure how to describe this or what to compare it to. I'm sure some would describe it as "funky" but that evokes the thought of spoiled food, which this is not. Its a little bit bitter, but more like the taste associated with bitter foods.
* Other - so this flavor is surprisingly complex... it has all these weird undertones I can't pin... Maybe a little bit fruity? It kindof reminds me of how TFA Blackberry tastes like perfume when you use too much...

Bubble Gum

**Testing**

Steep Time/2 weeks % Used/ 8 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouthfeel**

Light on the tongue and nose, light Airy mouthfeel not very dense I'd give it a 3 out of 10

**Throat Hit**

5/10

**Flavor Properties**

Lightly sweetened flavoring, slightly dull with a light fruit I believe banana flavoring, also it's coming off a very dry.

**Relatable Flavors**

Remind me of Juicy Fruit bubble gum without the juicy part, or fruity round bubble gum balls you get out of one of those quarter machines.

**Off Flavors**

Slightly chalky, and not really an off flavor butt kind of weak.

**Position In The Recipe**

Should work well as a bubble gum base, it needs a little help but a great starting point. There are so many different directions you could take this flavoring from where it starts.

**Pairings**

Other candies such as TFA Swedish Fish, dark berries, tropical fruits, creams  such as  rainbow sherbert, and spices like Anis, Ginger, and cinnamon.

Pumpkin Spice

**Setup**

*RDA/ Recoil Coil/ 6 Wrap Dual Fused Kanthal Clapton 2×28 core 32 wrap W/ 45 Wicking/ Full/ cottonbacon V2 /0.44*

**Testing**

Steep Time/2 weeks % Used/ 5 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

**Mouthfeel**

Heavy on the tongue and nose, very dense. I would give it 8 out of 10. Sharp and a little dusty.

**Throat Hit 5/10**

**Flavor Properties**

 Alright here we go. Pumpkin spice, a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. This particular flavoring is heavy on the cinnamon and you get an earthy, woody, flavoring along with that cinnamon, which is very realistic in that regard.

Nutmeg is tricky, especially with all these other flavorings going on, but I'm definitely getting the perception of nutmeg.

The clove is almost non-existent which is perfect for me, as most pumpkin spice or holiday spice flavorings are far too heavy on the clove. Clove is a flavoring that is hard to do in small amounts and I would commend Flavor West for near leaving it out of this pumpkin spice. I taste it but it's just a whisper. With all other pumpkin spice flavorings I have tested, there is an overpowering clove that needs to be dumped down.

As far as the pumpkin flavoring goes, I'm not getting any squash. This more of a mixture of spices but it is creamy and dense along with the spices, giving some perception of a nice thick pumpkin pie with just an idea of the actual squash flavoring.

**Relatable Flavors**

Flavoring reminds me of the spices that go in pumpkin pie. As far as a standalone pumpkin pie flavor, it's going to need some help..

**Position In The Recipe**

This flavoring could be very useful as an accent, but I feel the intent behind the flavoring was to make it a base flavor, and build off that. It's going to need some help.

**Off Flavors**

Super dusty cinnamon and nutmeg combination was a little off-putting but authentic. After vaping about 5 milliliters, I'm unclear whether I would consider this an off flavor or just a really authentic representation of spices.

**Pairings**

Fruits, berries, bakeries, vanilla, coffee, cream, and maybe some candies such as caramel and butterscotch.

Could also pair well with a lot of other herb and spice flavorings.

**Notes**

I purchased several of these flavorings looking to make a spiced latte or pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. I'm afraid that the search goes on for that pumpkin flavoring I'm looking for to do the chocolate chip cookie.

Here is a little information from Wikipedia if you're interested:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkin\_pie\_spice

 Oh look there's allspice in here as well. That may also have been added to the dusty flavoring.

**Rating 85/100**
