I ordered from Faerie's Finest, on a suggestion from some people in the chat room. I don't know why I bother to listen to them, haha! Wow, this was another bust. I suspected they would suck, to be honest. Their prices were almost too good to be true. Their website was easy enough to order from, but their confirmation letter did not include the USPS tracking number. When I got the notice that the order shipped, in another email, that didn't have it, either. I looked up their customer service number and called them, only to be "greeted" by a woman who was obviously very put out that I dared call during business hours. I asked her for my tracking number, telling her it was not in the emails. She then asked me if it was in the emails. .... .... I said, again, that I did not receive it. With the tone of voice of a child whom you've just asked to stop playing video games and clean his room, she gave me the tracking number and asked me if there was anything else I needed. I replied that I did not, but on second thought I asked her to wait, because I did have something. She said, "okay", then hung up on me!!!!
Anyway, I ordered Creme de Cafe, Mango, Pear, and Ginger. I cannot use a single one of them. Nope, notta one.
The Creme de Cafe was far too dark to use for vaping. It didn't even make it into a test batch, which was utterly disappointing to me.
The Mango not only tasted nothing like mango, but it seemed to be a watered-down version of LorAnn's awful mango fiasco. OH, OH.. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHERE I'VE TASTED THAT FLAVOUR BEFORE! STALE CANNED PEACH juice!!!!
The Pear smelled almost like Flavor Apprentice's pear, which was promising.. but it was definitely weaker. When I mixed a test batch, it had a strange and disgusting underlying flavour.
The Ginger was perhaps the biggest disappointment of all. I have begun to expect that no-one can get mango right. That's fine. Not a lot of people have ever tried one. Ginger, however, is available at every damnable WalMart in the nation. The flavouring sort of smelled like ginger, but it was very weak. I mixed up a test batch, using Rolygate's method that I quoted in my previous blog entry, and the disappointment continued. There was a bit of that characteristic spicy ginger stinging sensation, but the flavour was just so weak, that's about all I got. I was already at 25% flavouring, so I decided not to add more. I'm not going to vape straight flavouring. I then decided to add the ginger crap to the not-mango, thinking the sweetness would at least help with the flavour. Nope. The whole thing went south after that. I had to clean my atty, because the ONE thing that the ginger does is taint it for all subsequent flavours. My menthol from Flavor Apprentice was never so rude....
I sent a text to my man to pick up one of those giant buckets of vanilla ice cream on his way home from work. I figure, I'll be damned if I'm going to have spent all this money on flavourings from so many different places, and have to just pour them down the drain. The bottles they come in aren't even worth the trouble. I'm going to give them one last shot, however. I am going to apply them to the ice cream, and see if I can't at least get some use out of what I paid for. They are food flavourings, after all.
