Video Review of "The 23" (Dr. Pepper)

[Idahojo]

Well... I don't know. Anyone who wanted to go through the steps of adding a couple other flavors like I did could get near to Dr. Pepper perfection... but a lot of folks don't want to bother. If your factory can get it there, that'd probably be the way to go. Or as close to it as possible...

Until then, I'm now happy As a bright side, adding the other flavors appears to have increased my throat hit If I run out of my sample before you get a new factory sample, I'll probably be ordering some to play with again. And at the rate I'm going, I'll probably run out tonight

Walrus may I make a suggestion. I'm not a fan of Dr. Pepper but I think if you add a tiny, and I mean tiny bit of licorice to the mix you might come pretty close to what you want. Drink a real bottle of Dr. Pepper and try to pick out the individual flavors. I think licorice is in there. Just my .02

I'm not a licorice fan, so I don't have any on hand. It's not something I'd buy just to try out... but thanks for the suggestion

Sorry all I had to run to the post office to get some last minute orders in before they closed. Thanks to the two of my testers who have posted so far. I am glad you like the taste, as I asked Walrus earlier, once I get the taste perfected from the factory, we'll start adding it in the flavor section so that you can cut it and still recover the taste. Glad to see you all liked that flavor, please try the others and let me know!

I too find it real close to DP .I don't know what it likes but it is not much. It really surprised me just how close it was .

Glad you liked it Tim, I'm happy your order got to you so quick.

*update*

Walrus, I just talked to the factory, not only are they going to add some new flavoring into the next batch, they are also going to run it 36mg with VG. Hopefully you'll see the vapor and throat hit, we'll also be getting the flavoring so that if some of you out there want to either cut it down or make your own mix, you won't lose the flavor.

Awesome... how long will it be until you receive the new recipe?

Sorry to jump in on an old thread, but I wanted to share something. I grew up in Texas, home of Dr. Pepper, and the urban legend I always heard was that the unique flavor comes from... prunes! I don't know if that's true but on the rare occasions that I've tasted actual prunes or prune juice, it always makes me think of D.P. Power of suggestion maybe.

[mindtwist69]

appreciate the jump in, the new recipe has already arrived and it's sent to testers. From what I hear so far, the changes make it almost dead on. So our next shipment incoming will have the New "The 23" (that's dr. Pepper) as a Flavoring for you DIY'ers out there!

Rob, I got my bottle of 23 in today and I must say I'm impressed. Very nice flavor, very close to actual D.P. It almost tastes fizzy to me. Well done and thanks for getting it across the country so fast.
