Hi ECF members, In this review I take a look at the Kriemhild 80W Kit from Vapefly. The Kriemhild 80W Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Jade from Vapefly!

Kriemhild 80W Kit





Introduction

Vapefly have become one of the most respected vape manufacturers and in my opinion deservedly so. In this review I take a look at their latest Mod & subohm Tank Kit. The Kriemhild 80W Kit comprises of the slick looking Kriemhild mod paired with the new Gunther Subohm Tank!

The Kriemhild 80W Mod although it might not show in the reasonable price tag boasts high-end build quality and just oozes class! It's a very simple device with it's screen positioned up top and just wattage and Bypass modes to choose from but for many that's all they require! The Kriemhild also introduces a Security alarm system and can accommodate either a 21700, 20700 or 18650.

The Gunther boasts either a 3.5ml or 5ml capacity (with pre-installed bubble glass) and has a top to bottom leakproof airflow design! It accommodates the same K-series coils as the Kriemhild II and is also compatible with the cost saving RMC rebuildable coil kits! That's enough waffle let's crack on and take a closer look at this Gem of a kit!!!!!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Kriemhild Kit came in cardboard box packaging with outer sleeve which has a line drawing of the kit on the front and Features etc on the reverse. I received The Black version which comes with matching Black Gunther Sub-ohm Tank the options are, Silver, Gunmetal, Black or Black & Gold!

This mod just looks fantastic and the build quality is the best I have come across, although I must admit I don't own mods that cost £500 plus I do have a good few £200 to £300 priced devices and none of them beats this for build quality! The top display helps with the slick design and we have an inner Silver chassis with outer Black metal casing which sweeps around the spine and both sides. This outer casing has an exquisite brushed finish and both sides an elongated Silver plaque with etched fancy font and Celtic knots!

The face like the spine is curved and the protruding buttons also curve to the contour of the device! Up top we have a vertically positioned rectangular fire button with horizontal grooves this is followed by a small round hole which leads to the speaker behind! Towards the bottom we have the square navigational buttons lined up vertically with upwards chevron grooves on the up button and downwards chevron grooves on the down button, these are followed by the type C USB port!

Moving to the base we have etched safety marks and a solid battery plate with fold out lever, moving to the top of the device we have the sealed display towards the front and to the rear a Stainless Steel 510 plate, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded!

I don't know what metal materials are used in it's construction or whether the chassis and outer casing are the same material but this is so solid feeling which will lead to a con for some which is for a single battery device this is very heavy. When shaking we get no button rattle whatsoever but when tapping the buttons with a finger they then do give a rattle but a very petty thing which won't bother many!

Although heavy with it's very curved spine and large protruding fire button towards the top of the curved face this is very ergonomic and a pleasure to use!

_________________________________________________________________________



The Gunther Overview

The Gunther reminds me very much of the Kriemhild II Subohm Tank but with a top to bottom airflow design added. Up top we have an 810 drip tip with the option of fitting the included 510 adaptor, the top-cap has a bayonet fitting which once removed reveals the fill plate with self sealing membrane and a silicone seal to the underside section of the top-cap for a really good seal.





The base section unscrews counter clockwise revealing the Gunther accommodates the same K-series plug and play coil heads that fit the Kriemhild II. The chimney which extends from the chamber screws to the bottom of the fill plate and also extends at it's base to create a shelf for the glass to sit on. To remove the glass just unscrew the chamber/chimney section from the fill plate which also reveals the glass gets sealed both top and bottom with O-rings, before reassembling if you wish you have the option of fitting the included 3.5ml straight glass, the 5ml bubble glass is pre-installed!






_________________________________________________________________________



The Airflow

On the top section of the tank which includes the fill plate we have the dual airflow slots, the AFC has split airflow to add smoothness in the way of both being split lengthwise and having two narrow slots top and bottom rather than one large slot giving four small slots in total either side!

The chamber is doubled walled on opposite sides to allow the air once entering the slots to travel down to the base of the tank, it then enters the centre of the coil head from the base like any bottom airflow design!




_________________________________________________________________________



The Coils and Fitting!

As mentioned the Gunther accommodates the same K-series FreeCore mesh coil heads which fitted the Kriemhild II which just get press fitted into place then secured by fastening the base section into place.





Maybe to be harsh a con is the two provided coil heads are the only two available and I would much prefer more options, We do now have RMC rebuildable coils available though but they come in the same 0.3ohm and Duplex 0.2ohm options!

Part of the marketing for the Gunther as well as the leakproof top to bottom airflow design revolves around the patented Duplex 0.20hm mesh coil head which is pre-installed. Rather than having a mesh strip with a negative one end and positive the other it has two strips of mesh each half the length which share a central positive pin with each having an independent negative, essentially this means the mesh heats up twice as quickly and much more evenly improving vape quality and the improved ramp up is very noticeable!

Filling

The Gunther has a top-cap with bayonet fitting (my favourite) so just a quarter turn and it's off! The fill plate has 2 large kidney fill ports with membrane seal, if you don't like the seal I don't see any reason why the tanks vacuum would be compromised if removed due to the seal to the inner side of the top-cap. I never tried to remove the membrane seal personally but as a spare is included then it obviously can be! Pre-installed is the 5ml Bubble Glass which can be swapped for the 3.5ml straight glass!

_________________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Battery

The Kriemhild 80W Mod accommodates either a single 21700, 20700 or with the supplied adaptor an 18650 battery, the adaptor comes already installed inside the battery compartment with a round foam piece fitted to stop any movement during transit! The battery is fitted via the bottom of the device by unscrewing the battery plate.

This style of installing your battery is old school but much loved and still used on many high end devices, you can't damage your wraps and it guarantees you will get no battery movement. I particularly like this style when a fold out lever is included making it much quicker and less fiddly to secure in place, on this battery plate as well as a fold out lever we also have venting slots which is good to see, the threading is nice and smooth so as far as I am concerned full marks!




_________________________________________________________________________



The Display

The Display is old school and very small as well as being positioned on the top of the device for a more sleek aesthetic look. The device is so simple lot's of displayed information isn't needed so no issues with the small display and what is displayed can be easily read as it's both bright and sharp!

Top left we have the battery status bar and then the rest of the top of the screen either displays your wattage when in variable wattage mode or say's "BYPASS" when in Bypass mode. Bottom left we have the resistance and then bottom right the voltage!




_________________________________________________________________________



Operating The Device

The Kriemhild 80W device is for those that like simplicity and any features to be useful rather than stuff that will never be used cluttering up the operation and user interface, it is therefore not for TC users as the only modes are Wattage and Bypass!

The Kriemhild is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and 5 clicks to turn off, once on pressing both navigational buttons together locks those buttons but the device will still fire, repeating the operation unlocks the device. While the navigational buttons are locked 3 quick presses of the fire button also locks that button so the device will not fire!

With the device completely unlocked 3 quick presses of the fire button switches mode between Wattage and Bypass, the wattage adjusts from 5w to 80w in 0.5w increments with single presses and 1w increments with a navigational button held down, it round robins. Other features are up and fire together flips the display and repeating the operation flips it back again and finally down and fire together is stealth mode, once again repeating the sequence takes the device back to normal operation!

The Security Alarm System

To be honest because I only charged for a short time to see what's what and didn't have any issues with the device running too hot or any Atomiser Shorts I forgot about this feature until just before writing the review as the alarm didn't sound on a single occasion which I suppose is actually a good thing, so just to check I held the fire button down for 10 seconds to be greeted by a combination of buzzes and beeps! I quite like this feature though as it will draw attention to serious issues while not going off just for the sake of it and becoming annoying!




_________________________________________________________________________



Charging

You know the drill, I don't recommend charging in the device unless it's your only option but if you do the Kriemhild 80W Mod has a Type C USB connection and 2A charge rate.

Despite having a small display, while charging both a charging progress icon is displayed and the charge given as a percentage, it also supports pass-through vaping! Once fully charged the security alarm system kicks in giving one buzz followed by 3 beeps!

My Thoughts!

I must point out sub-ohm tanks with stock coils is not really my thing and only tend to test them if something stands out which was the case here with the patented Duplex coil head which I have used before with the Kriemhild II! Sub-ohm tanks tend to be quite loud and can be turbulent, the Gunther certainly isn't quiet as the coil head sizzling can be clearly heard but it's by no means especially loud and definitely not turbulent giving a smooth vape however the airflow is set!

I can see possibly those into their sub-ohm tanks getting the wow factor trying the new Duplex coil head because the flavour is up there with the Freemax coils and the quicker ramp up is definitely evident. I also found the 0.3ohm coil head gave very decent flavour but overall just wish there was more coil options. Also with there now being a RMC kit for K-series coil heads allowing you to build the included coils at a much cheaper price has to be a win!

Both coils will comfortably go 10w above their recommendation if you like a hot vape but liking restriction I preferred both 5w under using with the airflow closed down to just a quarter open. The design is pleasing to the eye although a bit funky with the bubble glass fitted and it comes with a decent amount of extras including spare glass and 510 adaptor!

The star though is the classy Kriemhild 80W Mod which just oozes quality. It's sleek look will appeal to many with the stealth positioning of the screen it just looks great and has a very ergonomic form factor to boot! The only issues being it is very heavy and then to get petty the buttons give a rattle when tapping with a finger but other than that it's just a fantastic power only simple device!

I like the battery plate with fold out lever which has silky smooth threading as does the 510 connection! When in stealth mode the screen has the appearance of a mirrored panel adding to it's sleek design! Obviously for TC users or those that like many features this really isn't for them but in every sense is Old school almost going back pre TC days but with an updated modern design. We do have something new though in the form of the Security Alarm System which could have been done in a way where the alarm was going off for any little thing instead I found it unobtrusive but efficient so a big win!

Being able to fit a 21700 is another plus and this fires out the gate no issues at all with the fire button giving a satisfying click! Having a Type C connection with 2A charge rate is another pro as is the charging feedback and that it supports pass-through vaping! Up top even a 26mm atomiser looks good even though it will part go over the screen but not the information displayed or device itself, 24mm and 22mm look great! so that covers pretty much any atomiser someone would use on a single battery device!

It's strange how people can like completely different styles of mod! This absolutely no bells and whistles device is the second best device I have used this year with the best being the Coolfire Z80 which is feature packed! The biggest pro though has to be the price for a device with such a high standard build quality!

I have 3 full boxes of coils, some are P0.4 and some P0.2 total of 21 coils. also have a Geekvape Aegis mod I’m not sure which one it is, but it is the one that uses these coils, and I am including a 510 adapter for the mod so you can run it with and 510 threaded tank. I’m preferring to sell this all in one shot for 60 bucks, shipped to United States (I don’t like the customs forms)

Thanks out to the OP @Boogenshizzle for starting this thread. 25 flavors just arrived, so haven't decided on percentages yet. Will be doing in batches for testing.

Place holding .....

http://..................../recipe/3071000/Wonder+Flavors+SC+SF+Tests

**S'mores Cupcake (SC) (WF) 3% (5-7-19)** -- After smelling this in the bottle, I KNEW I was not going to be able to let this steep. Too much of a S'mores junkie. I have tried almost every one-shot-ish S'mores flavor out there, and many/most just never came close to what you could mix on your own. This one however, was pretty damned good. Surprisingly clear for a S'mores with chocolate, and did NOT gunk the coils. It tasted good enough to compel me to mix up a 120ml on the spot. Very evenly mixed, with the chocolate and a cake-ish element on the top, with graham lower in the mix, with a nice somewhat sweet mouthfeel element of marshmallow. The cake element might be what pushed it over the top for me. No steep, fresh mixed, was excellent. Choco was not bitter, or dry, nor overpowering. It was a mid dark choco that had some malty notes similar to FLV Marshmallow. The cake element MIGHT be WF's white cake, but haven't tried that yet. Regardless is sat right in the middle of the mix and worked perfectly. The graham is lower in the mix but still present, and might be overshadowed by the cake, but it's hard to tell. After going through numerous tanks, was surprised how clean the coils stayed, and although it has some sweetness, it was by no means too sweet. Without a doubt the BEST single flavor S'mores I have tried, bar none. I will continue to work on the 120ml bottle of this little gem as I test the other flavors, but as tested, freshly mixed, I cannot go lower than **10/10**.

**Black Cherry Jellybean (SC) (WF) 3% (5-07-19)** -- I can see why many people like this one, as the Black Cherry is quite good. A little sweet, maybe a smidge of tart, but not much. No medicine, perfume or otherwise offputting notes, but, it was rather subdued. I don't know how you make a jelly bean taste, but in this case, it was candied. Throughout the tester, I kept wishing the candy was lower, and the black cherry was higher in the mix. Overall, even as a lighter flavor, can leave it at **7.5/10**.

**Blueberry Jam (WF) 3.0% (01-20-19)** -- After hearing some good reviews of this one, decided to try it. Well, right out of the gate, this one WAS good. As far as blueberries go, I love quite a few, but only if they didn't have too much "musk" to them (earthy kind of undertones). This one barely had any, so that was a big PLUS right there. Now, at 3% it was quite full and rich (for a fruit), and it appeared to be a mix of blueberry, maybe bilberry, with possibly a smidge of blackberry, as it was a "darker" flavor. Nicely sweet, and to me, the mix of the three berries, DID present some jammy elements. I think @Silhouette mentioned this in her notes, but there is something ELSE in here that's giving it body. When smelling it in the bottle, I felt like it was a blueberry muffin, vaping it did NOT present any muffin, but there's something in there, maybe a bakery element, far lower in the mix, that keeps it interesting, but just below the surface. I could actually see ADV'ing on this, simply solo, even at 3% with nothing added. With that high praise, I feel good leaving this at **9.7/10**, with only minor take-offs for not being a "pure" blueberry.

**Boysenberry Raspberry (WF) 3.5% (8-21-19)** -- You've gotta love it when you put off doing SF tests, start baaaaack up again, and the first one out of the gate (2nd series) is a winner. OK, BoysenRasp, what gives ? I've had a hard time with many (despite INW Rasp being my most used, but MF Wild Rasp being my favorite) where most are either non-existant, perfumey/soapy, or just really strong/artificial. This one was NONE of the above. VERY nicely done blend of boysn and rasp, with an almost perfect amount of sour punch to get your interest, just barely enough sweet to keep you interested, and just a great darker-ish berry pairing. Neither steals the show, but both are present. Sometimes you get that FIRST thought when testing, and mine on this flavor was, "Wow, really good, AND, they didn't make it too sweet". Nothing off-putting, overly artificial, just a really good pairing (I'm repeating). Good enough for a 2nd tank for me, and you COULD run this one solo, as I feel it's that good. Leaned towards the darker side which I prefer, and despite repeated tanks/vapes, could never which one was leading the other. I hate to compare it, but it is similar to FA Forrest Fruit. NOT the same, but that puts you in the ballpark. **9.9/10**.


**Butterscotch Cream Pie (WF) 3.5% (8-24-19)** -- This one required a 2nd tankful to try and figure it out. Overall, it does what it says, with clear Butterscotch over and undertones, some creaminess, and some crust. The BS reminded me more of CAP v2. but still good in this mix. The tripple pairing was even, with sweeteness right in the midde. As is the case with many cream/pie/crust flavors it could use some boosting to top it off, but as it stands, not too bad. Would surely be a nice base for a BCP with minor tweaking to turn it up. At the end of the 2nd tester tank, felt good @ **7.5/10**.

**Chocolate Cookie Pie Crust (WF) 3.5% (8-24-19)** -- What IS this one ?? When mixing up series 2, I thought I almost got a nutty tobacco off of this one when smelling it. Hmmmm. I was expecting an Oreo cookie like flavor, but this was not. It wasn't bad per se, but I got an overwhelming nutty-ness to it, with possible, subtle choco undertones. The choco was low, and if present, barely perceivable. I could see this one simply as a bakery mixer, but not much more. Almost a nutty, bakery, creamy, sweetish blend(er). No cookies and cream here. Per the name, would have to leave it @ **4.5/10**.

**Cinnamon Pastry (WF) 3.5% (8-24-19)** -- I think WF chose this namely wisely, as upon first vaping, I felt something was missing. This is NOT a cinnamon ROLL, but pastry. The cinnamon was on point, but something felt off with the pastry-ish finish. It was hard for me to really get into this one as I favor a more buttery, roll-ey finish. This was even, sweet, but almost had a slight sour-ness to the finish. The cinna ? The pastry ? Not sure. Maybe a combo of both. Overall it was even, but the lacking roll, and buttery-ness left me wanting, and that left the somewhat off-ish / sour-ish finish remaining on deck after every vape. Not one of my favorites, so leaving it @ **4/10**.

**Coconut Custard (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-24-19)** -- I love custards, and I love coconut, so what could go wrong, right ? Well first off, this had a deliciously light custard note which leaned more towards FA Custard, than CAP VC, which was great. The coconut was right up there with it, BUT, there was a strange astringent aftertaste note that I couldn't shake. It wasn't off-putting, BUT your mileage is going to vary, you're going to love it, or hate it. I think it was coming from the coconut, and it was almost like an overly dry coconut flakey-ness note. I can't decide if I like it or not. Leaning towards not. It had NONE of the (IMO) greasiness of TPA's Coconut Extra, which was a huge plus. With the coconut aftertaste note being the only thing that left me guessing, could leave this at a **7/10** easily.

**Cream Filling (WF) 3.5% (8-24-19)** -- Wow, not only did this one smell great on mixing, but just as good vaping it. Not overly complex, and somewhat sweet, was a nice vanilla cream mix. Continued vaping proved exactly more of the same. Although it is not an SC, it was somewhat light at my 3.5% testing rate. Not bad, not bad at all. Hard to explain fully, but not a white vanilla cream, def. a yellow vanilla cream, but no real custard notes, maybe a hint of pudding notes, but only a hint. This one makes me want to double it @ 7% and see what happens. At the 3.5% test rate, even being laid back, it did what it did well. **8.5/10**.

**Cream Puff (WF) 3% (5-07-19)** -- Who doesn't love pastry puffs ?? I'm a huge fan, couldn't wait to try this. Out of the gate, this one tasted great. Not much puff (if any), but the filling however, WAS on point. Although most food recipes use heavy cream, egg yolks, and vanilla, it's not a custard per se, and this flavor captured the filling nicely. Somewhat sweet, lighter, and vanilla elements, but NOT a custard. No off putting notes, but just couldn't find the puff part of it. Fairly rich, but not heavy or buttery, and it is a lighter flavor. If you're in need for a lighter, non-custard, vanilla-y creamy flavor, this WILL work for you. As far as scoring it, because I did not really get any of the bakery puff, have to subtract a few, but for the filling, it would have been a 9/10. Leaving this squarely at a **7/10**.

**Creme Brulee Cookies (WF) 3.5% (8-25-19)** -- After vaping this one, I got the same afternote / astringent note that I got from the Coconut Custard, so I'm thinking now, it is from WF's custard, not the Coconut. But, with that said, I wasn't getting much burnt / caramelized sugar from this, but more of a custard. Not a terrible custard, and it reminded me a bit of INW Custard, BUT, it had that same damn off-putting aftertaste as mentioned above. Wasn't getting much cookie despite looking for it. This seemed more of an egg-ish type custard, with an astringent aftertaste. For me the aftertaste kind of blew it for me, BUT, your mileage will vary depending on your tastes, especially in regards to custards. For MY tastes, I couldn't get paste the aftertaste, so will leave it @ **4/10**.

**Fluffy White Cake (SC) (WF) 3% (5-07-19)** -- 2nd one outta the gate, and having never vaped a "white cake", had NO clue what would reveal itself. First absolute impression was, "Wow, this is great, almost exactly like FW Yellow Cake / JF Yellow Cake, but without the yellow". 10 ml later, about the same overwhelming impression. At 3%, is was nicely sweet, but not overbearing, and it actually perfectly conveyed a lighter, white, somewhat vanilla cake. It was nicely full at this percentage, with nothing off putting, Was it vanilla-y ? Somewhat, but wouldn't call it a Vanilla Cake, but had some elements of that. Not any "batter", but just an honest lighter white cake. Hard to expand on the obvious, but they actually did a good job here. It is a lighter flavor (still plenty rich and full at 3%), but could be overpowered by heavier handed flavors. If you like the yellow cakes, then this one should def. be added to your arsenal. In closing, didn't get the heavier / butterier notes, and/or cream notes, but for a lighter "fluffy" cake, you don't need them. Fairly perfect, and a solid **9.5/10**.

**Hazelnut and Cream (WF) 3.5% (8-25-19)** -- Although I've never been a HUGE fan of Hazelnut, I learned by watching many use FW Hazelnut. This one was pretty damned great, in a word, out of the gate. Not sure exactly how to describe a Hazel, but it had all the right top and bottom notes, and perfectly creamed and sweetened. Nothing off putting, I could see this one being used VERY frequently. Honestly, pretty damned good as a solo. Could this replace FW's Hazel ?? Hmmmmm, not sure yet, but this one IS one of the standouts in series 2 testing. Continued vaping, is leading to more ............... continued vaping of this one. **10/10**.

**Lemon Squares (WF) 3.5% (8-25-19)** -- Once you've tested a load of flavors from a manufacturer you run across a common flavor they re-use. This one had it (again), for the base or squares part of the mix. Not terrible, I've tasted it before, kind of a sweetish bakery element. Not a pastry, just a generic bakery-ish flavor. The lemon was present, but not very. We all know lemons fade, and also what it's like to have too MUCH lemon, which this def. does not. It comes across as a faintly lemonish bakery, but that's about it. I wasn't expecting FE or MF lemon, but more than what was present, and the deal breaker for me was the generic bakery element, which to me did not portray "squares". Leaving this @ **3/10**.

**Marshmallow Candy (WF) 3.5% (8-25-19)** -- This one actually DID taste a lot like small candy marshmallows like the kind in some cereals. It was mostly vanilla, and a little drier than you would expect from a MM, and somewhat sweet. It was seemingly relaxed (weaker) at this percentage, unsure if higher mix rates would help to strengthen/thicken it or not. Some mouthfeel, but this is not like a full on MM like FA MM, but it doesn't claim to be. I could def. see using this to boost/make a MM cereal type recipe. The bonus is it's not flavored other than vanilla so you could bend it depending on your need. Unsure if this would tame sharper flavors or not. As it is named, this one although weaker, is accurate. **9/10**.

**Marshmallow Gooey (WF) 3.5% (8-25-19)** -- Back to back comparison with the "candy" version revealed this to be a more traditional MM. Fuller, with more mouthfeel than the previous, although not up to where FA MM is at. Smooth, sweet, and mallow with perhaps a hint of something, wintergreen maybe ? Not sure. As far as WF's namings I would have just called this MM, with the previous being mini's. Sits pretty good, heading towards FA MM, just not quite there yet. **8/10**.

**Oats and Cream Cookie (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-27-19)** -- Choo Choo, the Oat Train is leaving the station !!! Alright, I know, what the hell.... This is a GREAT flavor @ 3.5%. It may be one of the CLOSEST Oat flavors I have tried, and I've had some bad ones. It's not 100%, but man is it up there, close, and a great vape, even as a solo. I have NO clue how in the hell you would try to sim oats, but WF has it pretty close. To cut to the chase, it is oaty, and creamy. Done. It is a very full creamy mix @ this % with enough sweeteness to not be overbearing. To be honest, having such BAD luck with any/all oats up until this one, beyond the obvious like Brown Sugar, I'm not sure what you would pair to boost this, but as it stands you might not have to. It has a very few subtle overtones when smelling it vs. vaping, but it translates very well. Nothing off-putting, just a very somewhat sweet, creamy oaty mix. I find it hard to really explain oatmeal in general, so we'll cut it short, and give this one **9.5/10**.

**Peach Gummy Candy (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-26-19)** -- Peach and I have a love affair, so if anyone's going to hit the Peach, it's me. My current go to is TPA Juicy Peach for reference. Out of the gate, this one screamed WINNER. At 3.5% it was really damned good, full, and tasty. When I read "gummy candy" I cringed as I've had some sub-par GC's prior to this test. The peach was very juicy and fresh tasting, and (dare I say) fuller than Juicy Peach. Now although I didn't get a "gummy" per se, I did get a somewhat jammy-ness, maybe even a hint of Pear in there. At first I thought similar to JF's Honey Peach, but that was heavy on the honeydew, where as this had none, but if you've tried that, and remember the pairing, this is similar, but maybe two peaches, and some pear tossed in. No spices, just the way I like it, it's not a pie filling, but sure could be used as one. CAP's yellow peach comes to mind, but this is superior IMO. If you want a super gummy, this may not be for you, but if you want a good jammy peach with a hint o pear, you WILL want to get this one. Continued vaping on this one tells me you COULD solo this one. Maybe push it a % up for a super solo maybe. Now I would have called it Jammy Peach, so I gotta knock off a point for not much gummy, but it's just too damned good to mark it down. 10/10 as a Jammy Peach, **9/10** as a Gummy Peach.

**Peach Pie and Cream (WF) 3% (5-07-19)** -- Whew, what happened to this one ?? !!! Smelled ok out of the bottle, but after a short steep and vaping it, it turned into a somewhat sweet, maybe creamy-ish, with little to no crust hodge podge. Funny thing was, repeated vaping, proved hard to find a peach. Had an off putting note, but hard to nail down. I think this one smelled better in the bottle than it vaped. **1.5/10**.

**Pistachio Cream (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-28-19)** -- OK my old nemesis, let's see what you've got. Having eaten pounds of P's, but never having had great luck vaping it/them, was afraid to go back down this road again. I'm one of the few that for some reason Pistachio never translates well. In the bottle I was def. getting some kind of nutty (duh), and almost an AP offset ?? Vaping it, immediately hit me with a, "This tastes like Old Bay Seasoning" ?? !! OK, not exactly full ON Old Bay, but I kept getting that during the vape. Def. creamy, slightly sweet, plenty of nutty, but the AP/ Old Bay persisted. You're going to have to vape this and report back, as this could just be an odd one for me. Nicely balanced, and although some Pistachio was IN the cards, it wasn't ALL of the cards in this deck. Not a terrible vape, but I've had more on point Pistachios before (even if I didn't care for them). A little heavy on the AP and/or Old Bay (yes, that's what I get from it) for my tastes. Hard to guage this one, as it could be personal tastes, but will leave it at a **6/10** with a question mark beside it. You try, and report back.

**Pixie Stick Candy (SC) (WF) 3% (5-07-19)** -- This one smelled about as perfect as it could out of the bottle, and testing it, proved more of the same. A perfect pixie is about what you get with this one. Candy, sweet, tart, sour all in there, and nicely blended. Not overly sweet, just right in the middle. There are plenty of non-descript fruits in there which are hard to nail down, BUT, I did continue to get a grape pushing through, so at least that was identifiable. The grape was light enough, and the other non-descript enough that you could easily push and pull this one to your liking with different flavors. As a pixie stick, this was pretty spot on. If you want a pixie, this will do it for you, and you could easily push it into whatever flavor profile you want, easily. **9/10**.

**Puff Cereal Cocoa (WF) 3.5% (8-28-19)** -- Cuckoo for Coco Puffs ?? I'm not sure if this is what they were going for or not, but this one, ain't bad. Chocos are one of the harder flavors to get right in a vape, and Cocoa's are as well. For me the main note in this one was Cocoa, and a very good one at that. Nice and somewhat thick even at this %. It didn't taste like JUST cocoa, because there was some nice body to it. I didn't get any real "cereal" per se, but Cocoa Puffs were not a "grainy" cereal, so not having that suprisingly doesn't take away from it. No real graininess, but more of a nice, full medium dark cocoa that was very nicely sweetened. Nowhere too sweet, just sweet enough. Not sure how you would boost the "puff" part offhand, but maybe boosting it a bit might help. Will dose 2 tankfuls on this one to check for coil gunking, but the flavor is pretty damned clear, so THAT is quite interesting. There are a few elements in here swirling around that give it a fullness and body that I cannot identify, and the cocoa did not have any close taste-a-likes I could think of. Not bitter, dry, or artificial at all. How to grade this one, with the somewhat lacking "puffs". Pretty darned good cocoa so it's hard to push it down too far. For a great cocoa that's clear, with some nice body this one does it nicely. **8/10**.

**Puff Cereal Frosted (WF) 3.5% (8-30=19)** -- Having tested the Puff Cereal Cocoa first and not getting loads of Puff, I can def. get it in this flavor. Smelling it, it is quite close, vaping it, is about 80% translated, so it smells a slight bit more than vaping it. Regardless, somewhat grainy, and not overloaded with AP has hints of maybe rice and corn, but both subtle. Somewhat sweet, and nicely full. It's actually a nice base for a Puff. I can see why it was overshadowed by the Cocoa in the previous test. Wouldn't call it a solo as it's not interesting enough, but it does what it says. **8.5/10**.

**Sour Blue Raspberry (WF) 3.5% (9-01-19)** -- The first of the FINAL three for series two is on deck. This one HIT me as SOON as I tried it, and I loved it. You could def. solo this one, it was that good, but you might kick it up .5-1.0 percent. Seems there are more than a few Sour Blue Razz's out there, and this one is near the top. Not overly sour, but it's in there, sweetness was good but not overboard, and the blue rasp was front and center, as you would expect. Not overly complex, but as a sweet/sour blue rasp it didn't need to be. All three elements played in nice harmony, and I found it a nice break from my typical custard/bakeries. No need to blather on, as this WILL be re-ordered in a biggie. **9.5/10**.

**Sour Gummy Candy (SC) (WF) 3.5% (9-02-19)** -- Testing this directly after the Sour Blue Raspberry I couldn't help but wonder if some of this was in it. I believe it is the base the the aforementioned. This however did not have any raspberry or any clear fruit accents per the name. It was a nice sweet/sour/tart mix that was very even keeled. I have trouble picking up "gummy" notes in general and didn't get many from this, but even with that, this could def. be used as a sweet/sour/tart base mixer for sure. Not harsh, despite the sour smelling stronger (in the bottle) than when vaping it. If I had to pick the most forward element it would be the sour/tart. Overall this will be used quite often in anything requiring a Sweet Sour Tart-ness. **8/10**.

**White Chocolate Milky Cream (WF) 3.5% (9-019)** -- LAST one on deck. Having not tried very many WC's but hearing rumors of chalky-ness literally had no clue what was in store with this one. Upon FRESH mixing, thought, "Ahhahhh I know what they put in their Smores Cupcakes ....". After this steeped however, that appeared NOT to be the case. None the less, this was a very nice, semi-rich, semi-sweet WC. Not sure it it was DIK free or not, but assuming it was, might have led to the not quite as rich as some would like aspect. No chalky-ness, bitterness or anything off-putting. At times I would get an almost slight sour note on the exhale, perhaps the sweetener maybe ?? Not sure, but it came and went. Would this fill your WC mixing needs ?? Sure. You could easily fatten it up a bit to richen it up if needed. For accuracy it sits cleanly at a 9.25/10, but for overall SF vaping, leaving it at **8.75/10**.

Second Batch (Mixing 7-20-20) ....................

**Aged Bourbon Cream (WF) 3.5% (7-24-20)** -- 1st one, in the 2nd batch. Having tried a few Bourbon Creams, I do know that vaping liquors typically isn't my preferred vape, but maybe they ARE yours. Out of the gate, the Bourbon element was very good and forward, with a creamy backend. It was harder to pick out the cream as the bourbon was front, and center stage, but you got the most of it, on the finish. Lower on the sweetness scale, and it presented at close to 60% bourbon 40% cream. Wonder Flavors lists this as a SC (Super Concentrate), but in no way felt too high at 3.5%. Nothing off-putting, or out of place, and was nicely strong at this rate. Your tastes may vary depending on your vaping liquor thresholds, but I would have liked 20% more cream, to balance it out for my tastes, BUT, that's my take on it. It is what it claims, and does it pretty well. All in, leaving this one at **7/10**.


**Apple Gummy Candy (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-24-20)** -- An apple a day, ............... Not being a huge apple vaper, I'm always curious as to the next apple flavor, just to see if it can really WIN me over. This one presented as an almost perfect halving between a green apple, and a gummy candy, literally 50/50. Now, I found myself wanting MORE of the Apple, and continued vaping didn't really increase it to my tastes. Because the apple was roughly even with the gummy candy profile, it was harder to pick out exactly what type, i.e. Green, Red, medley, etc., but with the slight tarty punch I was getting, I'll go with a Green Apple. The gummy candy portion was actually quite good, and was convincing. Sweetness was about mid level, and there were distinct tarty notes in there that helped round it out, after the gummy candy mid section. Continuing through the tank I became convinced if you really wanted to showcase this as an Apple, you will have to bolster it with another apple or two. At 3.5%, is appeared somewhat laid back, but not dis-jointed. No real take-offs, but for the lower than expected apple notes. Good vape, but needs some help to make it pop. Continued vaping revealed a little more bright notes on the finish, which added to the sour aspect of it. Taking off for the reduced apple only at **6.5/10**.


**Bread (Banana Nut) (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-24-20)** -- This one turned out to be somewhat hard to quantify. Smelling it in the tank, smelled pretty on target, but vaping it lessened the overall effect. The banana while good, was much more present when smelling, than vaping. The nut and bread were fairly jumbled in the vape, with some discernible bakery element(s) but did not overly present as bread, or nut. It actually pulled pretty good as a creamy banana with some bakery. Didn't pick up any spices, or off-notes, and was very present at this testing weight. This one just seemed to loose somewhat in translation when vaping. Not terrible, not stellar, but overall good. If it vaped like it smelled, it would have been a 9.75/10, but as vaped, will leave at **6.25/10**.


**Bread (Butter Toast) (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-26-20)** -- This one SCARED me on the mix, as I believe it looked purple in the bottle !!!! Check my bottle shot 6th from the left. With that said, my current fav for toasted bread (with jam) is hands down [Solub Arome's Breakfast, and this one DID have some very similar toasted elements to it, albeit much lower in the mix. Assuming dik free here, it didn't have the rich buttery goodness that only diks can deliver, but there were some elements of butter here. Sweetness was a smidge above expected, so it would be more of a toasted sweet bread with butter. At this percentage it wasn't overly heavy, and I wonder how easily it would be overrun by a jam flavor. If not for the small tester, I would have tossed in a jam to see how it fare. For me the overall takeaway was a semi sweet toasted bread with a hint of butter. Nothing off putting, and the toasted notes were low enough as to not overrun the mix. **7.1/10**.


**Bread (Sweet) (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-02-20)** -- After having already tried Wonder Flavors Bread (Butter Toast), I wondered if the same bread would be present here, and it looks like it is. Now, that actually a good thing, as the "bread" can now be better analyzed. Def. a sweet bread, which may limit it's use to some degree. It presented as a brown bread to me, with actually almost a bit of the crust in it, which floated in and out of perception during the vape. No butter, no toast, so true to it's name. It was very good at this weight, with nothing pushing it off track. Not a whole wheat, but def. a somewhat dark, brown bread, without any yeast that could be perceived. All in, the sweetness at mid level may be it's only limiting factor, and it was a good sweet, darker bread flavor. **9.1/10**.

**Buttermilk (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-31-20)** -- What an interesting one this one was. Smelling it in the bottle, I was immediately picking up the BA, and it smelled identical to TPA's Sweet Cream. Now for some of you, that may be the end of the review, but let's carry on anyway. Vaping this, shockingly the BA almost died off, and was almost not present at all. Shocking, right ? The difference between smelling, and vaping this one was quite interesting. There were still some slight BA notes, with a mid level sweetness, and above average mouthfeel. The overall effect was creamy/dairy but was somewhat relaxed, and not as forward as expected when smelling it. I don't know if this could become my go to dairy, but I can see a lot of uses for it. Continued vaping didn't reveal any overt milky-ness, like TPA Dairy/Milk or OOO Cream (Milky Undertones), but again, the overall takeaway was that of a more relaxed dairy. Because of the somewhat recessed dairy, feels good at **6.75/10**.

**Citrus Drink (Five Fruits) (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-26-20)** -- I don't know why, but I went into this one thinking, "Ok, punch right ?". Well, it did say citrus drink lol. As far as citrus goes, it has it in SPADES. They claim 5 fruits, and I could make out lemon, lime, and maybe grapefruit, and some orange. It's actually well crafted where none really stood out, but the citrus punch that it packed could not be ignored. A little less than mid sweetness, and as was the case with other WF citrus flavors, this one did leave a slight lingering citrus oil (peel) on the finish, which helped finish it off. If you want a nice citrus blend with no real standouts, this one WILL work for you. Mid sweet, with just enough tart it was well thought out, and executed. No real takeoffs, nothing off putting, a really good medley **9.5/10**.

**Citrus Gummy Slices (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-25-20)** -- Citrus and Gummy, who'd-a-thunk it. Well, they nailed it for what it's worth. Citrus didn't present as an overly complex mix, with a simple lemon/lime with a splash of orange mix that you could ALMOST taste the citrus oil on the exhale, but just barely. The gummy slid into the rear of the vape, and was somewhat overshadowed by the citrus notes, but still present. 3.5% proved to leave this one just strong enough without being overbearing, and with a mid level sweetness, it played nicely. Nothing complex here, but it is, what it claims to be. **7.5/10**.

**Corn Powder(SC) (WF) 1.75% (8-02-20)** -- OK, this is the SECOND flavor from the 2nd batch that I decided to half to 1.75% from the original 3.5%. At the higher 3.5%, I wasn't getting any corn or powder, so re-testing halved. At this lower rate, sadly I was still not getting any corn or powder. It really didn't change much for me after halving, perhaps lower intensity. At the minimum you would expect a powder to be drier, but it wasn't really. I tried, and tried to extract some corn from this, but it didn't show up for the party. No AP, no fritos, but still no corn. This was very hard to quantify, much like the egg yolk, as it evaded detection, and description. Lightly sweet, almost like a bland pudding, but even that is unsure. If you want a mystery vape, this one can do it for you. As for a corn powder, sadly, it's just not here. **3/10**.


**Crumble Topping (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-25-20)** -- Liquid Crack Alert !!!!! That was the Lede for this flavor, hehe. OK, I think it's safe to say this one IS in my wheelhouse. I knew I was going to love this one upon mixing it, but you never know. This seemed to effortlessly portray EXACTLY what it was named. No commonplace bakery with some butter thrown in, in this one, but an actual crumble type flavor, that tastes like, CRUMBLE !!!! Repeated vaping, just didn't allow me to pick out any individual aspects despite trying very hard to do so. Suffice it to say, I can see a LOT of uses for this one, most probably in the bakery arena, but others as well. VERY true to name, with a mid sweet, almost buttery finish, but the butter element is NOT the main star here. No discernible AP or Biscuits per se, but a very smartly crafted (I know, repeating) crumble, that if you smell in the tank you would swear it was real. Tasted really good, and full at this testing weight, with nothing pulling it off profile. Let's agree to agree, that I WILL be finishing the tank AND bottle on this one. I've seen some very eloquent solutions crafted to CREATE a crumble out of handfuls of flavors, but now, you can do it, with JUST ONE. If you like crumbles, I would suggest getting this one. I can't go lower than **10/10**.


**Egg Yolk (SC) (WF) 1.75% (7-31-20)** -- Started out this test at 3.5% and it seemed as if it might be hitting the ceiling, and lowered it to half at **1.75%**. I didn't get an egg yolk at either percentage, but it felt better, and more relaxed at the lower rate. Despite halving it, it still didn't speak egg yolk to me. It is a hard to define flavor, but it was almost like a vanilla pudding, minus all of the vanilla and some of the pudding. Makes no sense, right ? It was mid level sweet, and almost nondescript, and at 1.75% wasn't off-putting, and didn't have any strange notes. Surely you could add this to almost any custard, many bakeries, as a base booster, but not much in the way of an egg booster lol. Not bad by any means, but no real direction jumped out at me during the testing. Don't think I've ever seen an egg yolk flavor, so don't want to beat up on the one I did see and try, but for a pudding/custard booster this would work pretty good. Leaving it at a nondescript **6/10**.

**Grape (Juice) (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-02-20)** -- Was it real, was it candied, sodad ?? Well, the juries back, and it's aboug 75% natural, with maybe 25% candied. Obviously leaning more towards a darker grape, this one had aspects of both a natural, and a candied. My current go to grape base uses the same approach so my mileage may vary more than yours, depending if you want a true natural grape or not. With that said, I think WF pulled it off nicely with this one, as although not overly complex, it did present as somewhat complex, for a grape. Mid to dark grape, with a slightly above mid level sweetness, with just a smidge of high end punch. Not quite the skin of the grape, but a lil' punch on the top end, none the less. Very full at this weight, and honestly, I will be finishing the tester. Nothing crazy, floral, or perfumey, and actually hard to find any take-offs. For a nice darker grape juice that has aspects of both fresh juice and a hint of candied, this one will probably work for you. Handily a **9.5/10**.

**Kumquat (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-26-20)** -- I knew this one was going to be an interesting one to try, as I have never vaped, a Kumquat before. Citrusy, somewhat sour, and tangy, and that felt about right for this Asian fruit. The citrus is hard to explain as it's orange-ish, but then again not LOL. Sweetness was almost below mid level, and paired very well with the tart/sour notes. The end of the vape had a very distinctive citrus peel finish, which seemed to add to the authenticity of this one. Continued vaping didn't improve my chances of better explaining it, but perhaps also blood orange-ish as well. All in, a very good vape, and at this strength, felt good. I don't often mix up many orange/citrus flavors, but this one had me second guessing that. **8.5/10**.


**Philadelphia Buttercake (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-24-20)** -- Ahhh the irony, I live close to Phila, and travel there often for work, and have NEVER had a Philly Buttercake. Maybe I should, because this flavor did start to pull back into my wheelhouse. A rich, buttery bakery is about the deal with this one. The butter which was fairly present, didn't taste like CAP's GB, but was still quite good. The richness could be had throughout the vape. The cake aspect (more of a bakery) evenly rounded out the remainder of the vape. It wasn't overly complex to my tastes, but still good none the less. Sweetness was lower than expected, especially for a cake flavor. You could start to feel the richness as soon as you started to draw, and it just continued all the way to the end. I didn't get any overwhelming notes from the cake/bakery, maybe a smidge of vanilla, but it was fairly nondescript. Overall, this one worked really well as a butter centric bakery. **8.25/10**.


**Pineapple (Baked)(SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-25-20)** -- At first vape, this one rather SHOCKED me. Was I getting something like FA Honey in here ?? !!!! Continued vaping allowed that "honey" note that I kept getting to subside for the most part, but at first it was a little jarring. I've yet to find any Pineapple that will knock my current champion of it's perch, and this one probably won't as well. This one portrayed an almost darker pineapple, and I know what they were going for here, not caramelized, but "baked". It had far more mid, and darker tones than say a bright, punchy pineapple, and did present as somewhat syrupy, which is in keeping with a BP. It wasn't completely devoid of any high, punchy notes, there was just very few OF them. Sweetness was mid level, and it felt nice and full at this weight. Now although my initial, "OMG, is there FA Honey in here" subsided, I never really lost it totally in this while testing, so YOUR mileage may vary. I'd be curious to hear if anyone else picks/ed up that note. Not enough to destroy the flavor, but for myself, I couldn't shake it. Only markdown would be for my perceived off note(s) similar to an almost honey. You should decide for yourselves. The overall vape was a pretty good BP. **7/10**.


**Portuguesse Egg Tart(SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-24-20)** -- I'll let you guys in on something. When you test as much as I do, sometimes, you're like, bleh, more testing ?? Another Tart ?? Hehe, you get the idea. I actually looked up the recipe(s) for PET, and found MANY variations, with the main two containing either Lemon, or Cinnamon. This one from Wonder Flavors is the Lemon variant, and it was actually quite REFRESHING. Gone were my fears of "Another tart". My first impressions were "Wow, this is punchy, and I think I am getting some egg/custard in there". Is it in the ballpark with FA's Custard ?? Kind of. The lemon def. punched through the entire flavor, with a slightly eggy custard rounding out the middle, with maybe some bakery on the low end. Sweetness was again, lower than expected leaving this easy to vape. It sounds simple, right, lemon, egg/custard/bakery, but beyond the sum of it's parts, it tasted fairly unique and that is becoming harder to come by for me. Continued vaping revealed nothing funky, but just a really clean, and unique "Lemon Tart"-ish flavor. Well worth the investment, just for the unique overall profile. **9.15/10**.


**Raspberry Jelly Bean (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-27-20)** -- Being a fan of WF's Black Cherry Jelly Bean, I had high hopes for this one. Right out of the gate, I had a distinct medley taste, that felt like a Raspberry with something else, much like a Luden's cough drop BUT, without the cough medicine. I couldn't really place the "other" flavor here, and am starting to suspect it MAY be the "jelly bean" element. It wasn't off-putting, but this flavor, you will LOVE it, or HATE it. It's not really either a natural raspberry, OR, a candied, but something else. At 3.5%, I was suspecting it could be mixed lower, and if time permits, I MAY re-mix lower, like WF's Corn Powder. I was quite strong at this weight, but not overbearing. A click above mid level sweet which was expected because of the "Jelly Bean" aspect. As I work through this tank, I'm not sure if I'm a fan or a not fan of this one. Will be interested to hear what other reviewers think. I think comparing this with the Black Cherry Jelly Bean, safe to say I'm more of a fan of the Black Cherry. Please try this for yourself, and decide, as the Raspberry is QUITE unique, and it may be what you need. All in, feeling this, for my tastes at a **6/10**. If I re-mix this lower, I will update this review.

**Southern Sweet Tea (SC) (WF) 3.5% (8-02-20)** -- Having had one of the BEST Sweet Tea flavors before, I knew what COULD be done. This one had a lot of the same elements of the aforementioned, but never really capitalized on them. There were tea notes in here, but not as pronounced as I have had elsewhere, and although good, the sweetener did have an almost honey aspect to it, that I got from the Baked Pineapple. Not overpowering, but I did continue to think "notes of honey" while vaping this. Average tasting would be fair here, with nothing off-putting except for my reception of the "honey notes". Your tastes will vary, so you may not pick up on this. Nothing terrible, but not outstanding, so feels good at **6/10**.

**Stevia (WF) 2.0% (8-02-20)** -- OK, for my LAST trick (or flavor in this huge second run), I will now vape 2% Sweetener (Stevia), so you guys don't have to !!! Stevia, stevia, how have I hated thee in the past ? Let me count the ways. Well, not entirely. For you non-Stevia's Stevia wasn't so great a while back, and always had a telltale after taste, that BORKED it, and always revealed itself. Enter Stevia Reb A, supposedly the sweetest part of the plant, AND, with no borky aftertastes. I only briefly dabbled with the Reb A, and do not know what concentration, nor Reb A may be in this concentrate from WF. All in, even at 2%, this is being tested SOLO, and it was good. I was not overpowered by it at this level, and great news, there was NO aftertaste (think Aspartame, Saccharin). NONE. Only for YOU guys, do I vape sweetener, solo, at 2%. As time wears on, I will do some testing, starting with fruits, and if success, move up to more complex mixes. As it stands, vaping a sweetener is boring, BUT, this was very good, sweet, but not overpowering, and had NO aftertaste. Not sure if a coil gunk check after 1 3ml tank will suffice for a gunker test. As a sweetener (never tested one before), I'm going to go high at **9.5/10**.

**Sugar Cookie (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-31-20)** -- Coming down to the final few in this large second series with the Sugar Cookie. I actually vaped this one on/off for a few days while busy, and had some time to get to know it better. Realizing these are dik free flavs, I wasn't expecting a super rich, buttery cookie, but it surprised me a bit, by being fairly full none the less. Not overly buttery, but a full and semi-rich cookie that leaned a little lighter than say CAP's v.1 and v.2 sugar cookie. With no overt undertones of vanilla, almond or choco chips, this one will be quite useful, and able to be push/pulled as you need. Sweetness was about mid level, and at this weight, didn't feel over flavored at all, and quite usable. No AP elements, but an even keeled bakery back end that suited it. If you're looking for a super rich butter cookie, this ain't it, but if you want a really good, neutral sugar cookie, that leans lighter, this one could work out good for you. Feels really good at **7.5/10**.



**Tropical Gummy Candy (SC) (WF) 3.5% (7-27-20)** -- Wow, Wonder Flavors really did some crafty mixing in this one. "Tropical" was about the perfect way to describe this, and they tempered it so well, that it was VERY hard to pick out the individual components. There was def. a pineapple in there, and I think I could almost detect some coconut, but there was/were something else in there, that was almost tweaking the pineapple, and it continued to defy my detection skills. Maybe a mango, yes, I think that might be it. Very well crafted, and was perfect at this weight. Mid level sweetness did it justice, and it really did convey an almost perfect "Tropical", but did so shrouded in secrecy. It really was a nice, full spectrum vape from low to mid notes, with some high end punch. I wouldn't call this a "punch", and not "cirtusy", but a really great tropical medley. **9.5/10**.

Good morning Team,
I am not sure if this is the right place for but I am looking for expert advise. I have been a smoker for 20 years, currently smoking rolling Tabacco, roughly 40 thick rollies a day. It’s finally time to kick the habit, I live in Australia and a package of tabacco now cost $115. I want to make the switch but I have no idea what product is most suitable for me. Nicotine additives for vapours are not for sale in Australia but can be imported. What product would be best? I would like to recreate the taste of combusting tabaco as much as possible. Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. Cost of product is no issue and I would rather spend top dollar for a reliable product that enables me to mix own strength. Also not fussed about the size of the product. Cheers guys

**Avocado Cream (VTA) 3% (5-3-20)** -- FIRST one out of the gate, let's see what we've got. I can safely say, I've NEVER vaped anything Avocado, so this is a first. Mixed, steeped, vaped, I honestly got little to no Avo, and maybe that's a good thing, but what I DID get was an unholy deliciously sweet cream, almost HS Ice Cream, but not quite, and with some White Chocolate thrown in ?? This one is a very heavy cream, which sits on the lower side of the sweetness scale, and I can't help but keep getting an almost Hangen's Ice Cream, with White Chocolate notes from it. Can't really find the avocada in here, but the damned good sweet, creaminess of it, just doesn't seem to make me miss it. I can see COUNTLESS uses for this one, especially for creameries, custards, anything where you want to impart some rich, sweet cream, but without other heavy notes. Continued vaping throughout the tank, had me guessing if it wasn't a creamy ice cream of sorts. Not super sweet, so this one's a guesser. NOW, the hard part. About 101% I try to rate flavors to their namesake, and this one really didn't give me any avocado, BUT, was DAMNED good. Hmmmmm. Let me vape on this .....
OK, the only way I can get this one done, will be TWO ratings. As a Avocado Cream, I'd have to go low @ **2/10**, for the clear lack OF Avocado, BUT, I can't just leave it there, as it is TOO damned good to not have this on your must have list, for a sweet, creamy, almost Ice Creamy flavor, which I would rate @ **9.5/10**. There you have it, TWO firsts, in one flavor review.

**Banana Custard (VTA) 4% (5-3-20)** -- Have used this one in multiple recipes, but hadn't had the time to solo it. I think I went into this expecting a banana cream, even had a typo in it's name here originally (i.e. Banana Cream), and after tasting it thought, "Wait, what ......". OK, not a banana cream here, as the custard reveals itself with a little more bite than a simple cream. The banana is hard to identify as candied or natural, but it works well in this mix. Feels like a 60% custard, 40% banana to me. Because of the BC mix, it's hard to also directly identify/compare this custard to others, but it has some egg, rich, and low on the sweetness scale. The custard presents almost as half pudding, half custard, and that works well with the banana. Overall, solid banana custard, with no off-notes at the testing weight. Can't find any flaws with this one, and seems great at **8.5/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Biscuit Base (VTA) 4% (5-5-20)** -- Typically I would never solo vape a biscuit flavor, but I've done so a few times thus far, for the love of SFT. I mean, who vapes just a biscuit ?? With that said, this one presented, almost as a combination of Jungle Flavors Biscuit, and INW Biscuit. INW's is my real go to, for a strict biscuit, but I learned to appreciate different approaches to biscuits after trying JF's version. I say it presented as a combo of these two, as it had aspects of each. It didn't present an overtly obvious butter profile, but it felt like it was in there none the less. Nice bakery, with a slight amount of sweetness, similar to JF's. It also had some elements of the drier, flakiness of INW's in for good measure. Not to belabor the point, but INW's is more of an American Bisquik biscuit, and JF's was more of an English version, which leaned more towards a cookie. VTA's, is an interesting one, as it straddles both INW and JF's. How you will use it will vary on what YOU perceive a "biscuit" to be. At 4% it felt relaxed, and not overpowering at all, with nothing off putting. I'm not sure vaping solo biscuits could be considered exciting, but vaping through the tankful proved a non-issue. This will be very useful in basing, and boosting bakeries, cookies, pies, etc., so you can get a lot of use out of this one. As unexciting as biscuits are, this one, was fairly unique, and good. I feel good leaving it at **9.1/10**, as I can't find any takeoffs.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Cherry Liqueur (VTA) 3% (5-6-20)** -- Oh Cherry, what a tortured past we have together. I'm always scared to try a new Cherry as many are just terrible. Medicinal, floral, you name it. Luckily for me, VTA's Cherry Liqueur had NONE of those off-putting issues. In a previous MFG test, the Cherry had some bad notes on the finish, I reduced it to half, and the problem abated, so you CAN go too high. In this case, 3% proved to be, palatable. It tasted like a red cherry, slightly tart, with an almost alcohol finish, but very subtly so. Now (isn't there always a now LOL ?), it presented not as a full, in your face Cherry, but actually rather laid back. It DID have the characteristics of a cherry, but at times, it almost seemed as if only peripherally. It's had to explain, but like a full blown cherry, with the middle hollowed out. If you vape it, you'll understand. Hinting all around as a cherry, but never a full on cherry. When vaping it, it's like you are almost expecting MORE of a big cherry in the middle of the vape, but you get solid hints, at the beginning, then the end, but it never really gets the FULL effect. Now, what does this mean ? Well, it's in no way offensive, so it's VERY usable, and can be manipulated to further PULL more cherry, which I would recommend. Maybe I'll re-test it higher to see if it presents a "fuller" profile, but I suspect, it is what it is, until you hit the ceiling. It smells a little tarter than it vapes, but there is just enough tart in the vape. It's a very good, "safe" cherry, to start to play around with, without the risk of puke, cough syrup, etc. Sweetness was low to mid, and although I cannot think of a direct comparison, I could see this pairing well with Flavor West's Cherry Crush. As it sits, inoffensive, but not completely inspring at **6.8/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Chocolate Mousse (VTA) 3% (5-11-20)** -- At first when smelling this in the bottle, I thought, "Ehhhh, smells similar to TPA Double Chocolate Clear". Well vaping it, revealed a WHOLE lot more going on here. Smelling it in the tank, I almost get the same kind of notes that I get from Flavorah Marshmallow, which is a darker, almost malty profile. Now, enter the chocolate, which is almost a mixture of a darker chocolate with maybe some creamy pudding in there as well. It's hard to completely explain but those are the main notes. It actually surprised me as to how good it actually was. Perhaps some lighter/airy aspects that you would expect from a mousee, but subtly so. The Chocolate which heads towards bitter, isn't actually bitter, but leans towards it, and although darker, does have some mid/lighter choco notes in there as well, so this is shaping up to be more complex that it appeared initially. Chocolates very often suffer from just plain bad tasting, to dry, and/or overly dark which leads to burning and scorched coils. This one exhibited NONE of those characteristics at all. It was actually fairly rich and full with low sweetness @ 3%. I can see a lot of uses for this one, because of it's dark, mid, and lighter notes, with no bitterness or dryness. I got absolutely NO off-notes, nothing chemical, or any "band-aid" in this one. I'm surprised it hasn't received more attention. Summarizing it up as a fairly complex chocolate, with dark, mid, and high notes, with some pudding elements thrown in, that just really works. Def. going to drain the tank on this one. Solidly a **9.75/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________


**Coffee Liqueur (VTA) 4% (5-12-20)** -- After JUST testing VTA's Chocolate Mousee, I can tell, it IS in this one. It might be an exact split 50/50 of something very much like their CM, and a coffee. The coffee profile is somewhat bold, but not overly dark or bitter. Def. not an espresso, and I think as a coffee/chocolate pairing it works really well here. Sweetness is low, which is always good, and just enough to keep things rolling. Neither the coffee nor the chocolate steals the show, which should allow for wider usage. With no off-notes, this one could actually be vaped solo, as it's got just enough to keep you interested. Another winner from VTA, and with no faults except maybe a little missing "punch" from the coffee, it feels good at **9/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________


**Creamy Custard (VTA) 4% (5-10-20)** -- Having just tested VTA's Banana Custard, I immediately could tell this was very similar to their BC. Almost identical, with maybe a smidge less banana. So for the purpose of this flavor review, it's not that this CC is bad, it's not bad, it's just really more of a Banana Custard, reviewed above. As a Banana Custard, it would receive the same rating as above of 8.5/10, but as a NEW Creamy Custard, would have to down vote to **2/10**. For an in depth review of this, reference VTA's Banana Custard.
____________________________________________________________________________________


**Creme Brulee (VTA) 3% (5-10-20)** -- The first thought I had when vaping this was, "Wow, this one is unique". Now, that is always a good sign (most times, hehe), and it was in this case. I did not get any rich custard from this one, which is expected in CB's. I did get a very interesting vanilla cream of sorts, with some caramel, and something else, which was almost impossible to identify, which I believe was the burnt sugar element. Continued vaping never revealed any real custard notes, but the caramel and vanilla were soo good together, I'm not sure if I missed it. Sweetness was fairly low, and overall at this testing weight, it was fairly light, yet still satisfying, so you could go higher. I was so intrigued by the mystery (burnt sugar) note, I started searching around, and found one reviewer that swore it was a very light Anise. I think he's right. If you're looking for a heavy/rich custard based CB, this may not be for you, but if you could use a lighter, creamy vanilla, with an excellent caramel thrown in, with some interesting burnt sugar notes, you will like this one. As an "interesting" flavor, I'd rate it @ **9.8/10**, but as a Creme Brulee, I'd have to mark it down for the missing rich custard @ **7.2/10**. I would still recommend this one, even with the light/missing heavier custard notes.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Croissant (VTA) 4% (5-11-20)** -- This is another one that I've mixed with quite a bit, and hadn't done a SFT on, until now. Let's just cut to the chase, this one is GREAT. Review over !!!! Kidding. Alright, starting off, I never really got the buttah ovaload that some people seem to get from this one, BUT, it's still in there. Perhaps the delicious bakery elements with their slight sweetness pared it down a bit. Needless to say, this tastes JUST like a buttery croissant. I teetered between testing at 3-4% and settled on 4% as it appeared to not be the strongest of flavors. Flaky might be an overstated aspect of this one, but you can almost taste it none the less. A buttery, flaky croissant really IS, what this one is. It leaned somewhat higher on the sweetness scale, but still mid level or lower, and while not pushing the sweet ceiling, maybe it could be a smidge lower, but THAT, is about the only takeoff I can find with this one. The bakery clearly favors croissants, so it wont have as broad of a usage as compared to a more generalized bakery. Either way this one should be a MUST have from VTA if you are even remotely interested in a croissant. **9.8/10** with very minor takeoffs for slightly higher than expected sweetness.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Fizzy Sherbet (VTA) 3% (5-13-20)** -- Sherbet, Sherbert, Sherbet Powder ?? !!!! It really depends where you live, as to which of the preceding you know. In the US I've heard more commonly Sherbert, but in the UK I learned they have Sherbet Powder. With that said, this one is a smart, almost sparkly, fresh, punchy vape. I immediately was reminded of an almost Sprite like, high end punch I got from a Vape Kitchen Pineapple vape. I wonder if this was it ?? !!! This one almost has a sprite (soda) like bright punch that carried throughout the entire vape. It did lean above average mid sweet, but as expected. It was very hard to tell if there were any specific fruit profiles in here, but it def. leaned towards a lemon lime-ish with perhaps some pineapple maybe ?? It was very hard to tell definitively. Now as far as the fizz, it's more fizzy-like, and it did impart an almost tingle at times. I've used this one countless times and (lazy) never got around to singling it. Now that I have, I'm even MORE impressed. For a fizzy (tingly) bright, lemon-lime (maybe a pinch of bright pineapple), that leans forward on the sweetness, this really excels. I have had great success with my Pineapple Soft Serve with this one, and I can see it being a real go to, for a lot of mixers, and mixes. No off notes, no deductions I can think of, even with it's higher than normal sweetness. Punchy, bright, it just works. **10/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________


**Glazed Strawberries (VTA) 4% (5-16-20)** -- Here is another one I've used countless times, but never solo'd. First impressions, were an almost sparkling Strawberry. Not as full as many other SB's, but had a bright top end, and did actually (almost) portray a "glazed"-edness. At 4% it was actually somewhat subdued, and could be used much higher. Although billed as a "glazed" it wasn't sickly sweet, like I had anticipated. No lip smacking sweetness in this one. The SB leaned towards ripe, but had a lot of fresh in it too. Because it seemed to excel at the bright top end, don't think it will be the main note often, but supporting absolutely (that's how I've used it). Nothing off-putting, mid sweet, punch top end SB. Marking down a few for reduced presence at this testing weight. Good mixer @ **7/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Golden Syrup (VTA) 4% (5-16-20)** -- This one proved to be quite the interesting one, and a somewhat hard one to describe. It starts out as a mid-dark syrup, and ends with almost a touch of butter. It has qualities of a maple syrup, BUT, without the maple. It's got some qualities of honey, BUT, without the honey. Confused ?? Good, me too. I guess the simplest description would be maple syrup minus the maple, but it still seems more than that. Full bodied, with NO florals, and the finish sure seems like a touch of butter, but it's low enough to almost stay off the radar entirely. I was actually very surprised that it was only mid level sweetness. Because it's fairly neutral, i.e. not honey or maple, and it's surprisingly lower sweetness levels you will get a lot of mileage out of this one, adapting it to your needs. Full bodied keeps coming to mind, while vaping it, and that def. keeps it in the mid to mid-dark bodied category. All in, this one was a surprise, and having never vaped a syrup before, I'm glad I did. Lot's of uses for this one. VTA did a great job capturing a "syrup" but with any honey, or maple notes, yet still true to it's namesake. Karo maybe ?? Kind of ..... Lots of uses for this one, and leaving it at **9.4/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Honeycomb (VTA) 4% (11-8-20)** -- Testing another random VTA flavor, as I started to see it being used more and more, and my beloved love FOR the Cereals, I couldn't resist. I've had kind of an outright FEAR of honeys after an incident with FA Honey, wherein I think I might have mixed it a LITTLE too high, hehe, and I swore off honeys. Overcoming my fears, I loaded this into the tank, and, ....... it was pretty good. NO off-putting florals, no ceiling bashing over-usage, and, a fairly decent, yet laid back honey. Mixed in there were some buttery notes, some caramel, and some cereal. Because it was somewhat laid back, I might have to re-test higher, but at 4%, it presented itself well, and did favor Honeycomb ceral. Not exactly, but in the ballpark. The light honey leaned natural, and the light caramel-ish notes paired well, with the cereal notes smoothing out the tail end of the vape. Because it fared somewhat light to my tastes, it might be overpowered in mixes easier, than not, unless used in a supporting roll, or at a higher rate. If YOU have been scared off of honey-ish vapes, congratulations, you can get BACK into them, with this one. Below mid-level sweetness kept it non-fatiguing, and lighter, but it DID have a certain "sticky" quality about it, which is interesting, because of the lower level of sweetness. With nothing off-putting or floral, about the only take-off would be the laid back nature of it. Felt really good and tasty @ **8.1/10**.

___________________________________________________________________________________


**Lemon Meringue Tart (VTA) 5% (5-17-20)** -- We can start this one off by saying this SHOULD be a must have from the VTA line. Your personal mileage may vary depending on your tastes, but this presents as a new, and unique take on a LMP/LMT. Being a longtime CAP LMP user, this one was a breath of fresh air. It's not that CAP's isn't good, as it is, and it's my go to, BUT, this one shakes things up a bit. The lemon in this one is perfect, sweet, tart, pronounced, but not overbearing. The meringue, while lower in the mix, works well here, and perhaps the crust is much different than CAP's. I've seen this paired many times (as I have done as well) WF's Flapper Pie, and they work perfectly together. This one might not be as "generic" as CAP's, but that's what makes it unique. Maybe some buttery undertones in there, sweetness mid level, and as a single flavor, it honestly doesn't need a lot of fixing right out of the bottle. Now, you can always tweak to your needs, but as a solo, pretty damned good. On a short 2 week steep, the lemon longevity cannot be determined, but @ 5%, this was a great LMP/LMT vape. I can't 100% define the tart vs. pie issue, but I suspect more of a biscuit, than a graham base. I will have to further test in some of my Looper mixes to see how it compares/contrasts to CAP's. All in, damned nice offering from VTA, that doesn't really need much help. **9.9/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Milk Fresh (VTA) 2.5% (5-17-20)** -- I think I just found ANOTHER must have from VTA, and that would be Milk, ...... Fresh Milk !!!! To start with, this is an excellent Milk, and it's ONLY closest cousin might be FA's Milk (which is no longer sold in the US). They are similar would be a fair statement. What makes this unique from most of the other Milks is it's very neutral profile. NO sour notes, cheesy notes, etc., just a great dairy milk. Although I love TPA's Dairy/Milk it is not as neutral as this one, and VTA's is FAR more present than OOO's Milk Creamy Undertones (gasp !!!). Yes, that's right, I think this is better than OOO's. @lukeloop warned me testing this @ 2.5% might be pushing the ceiling, and although it was VERY full at this level, it didn't appear broken. Clearly, you could mix it lower, and still get a lot of Milk Bang. Low sweetness was great, because the focus stayed on the Milk. Even smelling this in the tank, still had me guessing how they did it. For a fresh, clean Milk with NO off-notes, cheesy-ness, sour or BA notes, THIS IS the one you want. I can't go less than **10/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________


**Milkshake Base (VTA) 2% (6-6-20)** -- Starting these back up again, with the Milkshake Base !!! Having tried a few MS bases (or variants) and been somewhat disappointed by one thing or another, I am always hopeful that the NEXT one, will be better. This one IS quite a bit better than what I expected, and at 2%, gave up some really good Milkshake nuances. Mouthfeel was thick and creamy, with sweetness higher on the scale, maybe mid level plus one, but not overbearing. It didn't present as overly "malted", and was fairly neutral with no choco, or nilla notes, which will really let you push/pull this to your shake liking. I've seen other reviews where they picked up malted notes, but to me, the note was more of a condensed milk note. At 2% didn't appear to be hitting the ceiling, and the overwhelming singular takeaway from this was creamy mouthfeel !!!! Not a problem, when you're working up milkshakes. During testing, I was almost overcome by a desire to toss in my fav SB base, just to see, BUT, that will come later. As a single, this didn't present any off notes, no in your face BA, and just a really good creamy, milkshake without anything extra. Clearly far more than a simple Milk, or Cream, so VTA did this justice. Feels great @ **9.4/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________


**Pineapple Juice (VTA) 3% (6-7-20)** -- Pineapple juice, vs. Pineapple ?? Let's see what's what. Smelled great out of the bottle, and vaped somewhat as it smelled, but not entirely. This did present as a Pineapple of sorts, but it was surprisingly NOT juicy ? What ?? How can that be ?? @3% it seemed high enough, but this one really lacked any "punch" you'd expect from a PA juice. Another reviewer called it "dull", and that's an about perfect way to describe it. Somewhat darker than expected, with low to mid sweetness, but just didn't have the "zing" it needed to stand out. Nothing off-putting or chemical, just an average pineapple-ish flavor. Very 2 dimensional. Def. use to add to a base, but NOT the star of any Pineapple shows here. **6/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Pudding Base (VTA) 6% (09-22-18)** -- Having never tried anything from VTA I had no idea what to expect from them. I love pudding, so let's see what's what. Out of the bottle when mixing up, smelled really good and it appeared to be more of a European pudding than a US pudding, and by that I mean it seemed more eggy and starchy and less like a Jello pudding from a box. Vaping it continued this trend and after a 7 day steep @ 6%, it was a delicious creamy, eggy, pudding that leaned towards starchy. Never having made pudding from scratch, it did appear to nail everything required for a great base. Sweetness was nice and even and the egg and starch were the forward elements with sweetness and creaminess taking 2nd place. Keeping in mind this is a BASE, with no other elements like banana, vanilla, or chocolate, it presented as a very solid base to which a great flavored pudding could be built. Didn't find anything off putting or overwhelming at 6%, and can def. see this yielding almost any kind of pudding. Your tolerance and or preference for egg and starch will dictate how heavy you mix this. Needless to say, I emptied the tester bottle which is interesting as I wouldn't have thought a "base" would have been so interesting, and tasty. Rating it as a "base" I cannot go lower than **9/10** on this one.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Sour Lemon (VTA) 4% (6-7-20)** -- Lemon, lemon, lemon, who doesn't need a good lemon ?? Having never tested an official "sour" lemon, was all set to pucker up on this one. BUT, it never happened. :frowning: This one @ 4% was surprisingly lack luster. It wasn't terrible, and there was lemon in there, with some mid level sweetness, but the sour was almost too low to detect. Kinda odd for a sour lemon, BUT, as it was, not terrible, not stellar, and laid back at 4%. The lemon was candied, and almost like a sour lemon candy, but missing the sour. With all the lemons on the market it can be hard to stand out, and this one, doesn't. Middling candied lemon with little to no sour. Good for mixer fodder. **6/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Sugarloaf Pineapple (VTA) 4% (6-9-20)** -- Having just tested VTA's Pineapple Juice, and having had a "so-so" reaction to it, AND, having used this one many times, was anxious to really solo it. My previous experience in mixes, mirror my SFT here. This one is a Pineapple Powerhouse. No other way to put it. It actually pushed my beloved INW Pineapple off it's perch as my number one. This "sugarloaf" pineapple should be re-named "sugarLOAD" pineapple. It's sweet, bright, punchy, and damned delicious. It leans on the sweet side, but not too sweet. Sugarloaf pineapple is a white pineapple, that I've never eaten, but I sure would LIKE to now. Very natural, multi-dimensional, and interesting to vape. Nothing artificial tasting to my tastes, and wherein VTA's Pineapple Juice presented to me as somewhat dull and/or lifeless, this one was the exact opposite. BPD (Bright, Punchy, Delicious), just is really all you need to know on this one. Typically I would think even as good as this is, it will probably be mixed with INW Pineapple, or maybe CAP Golden Pineapple just to round things out, but I've used it as the only Pineapple and it worked out GREAT. So it's not required, but an option. This one leaned heavier in the mid and high notes, with less lower/darker notes, and it does it well. Hands down a GREAT flavor, and IMO, should be on your VTA Must Have List. **10/10**, zero hesitation.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Vanilla Cream (VTA) 5% (5-31-20)** -- This one proved to be a very good flavor, but hard to fully explain. Not overly complex, but still delicious at 5%. The repeat feeling I got from this throughout the test, was a Vanilla Butter Cream, WITHOUT the butter. Like maybe an icing, but without the butter, and that gets you in the ballpark. The Vanilla was forward as expected, and the cream rounded it out. It wasn't overly creamy, but the smooth finish and mouthfeel impart creaminess. Although full at this percentage, it still came across as somewhat subdued. Sweetness was actually lower than mid level which was surprising. Hard to say exactly, but the vanilla did lean towards a bean as opposed to any of the spicer ones. There was an almost dryness to this, but it wasn't enough to throw off the mix. No faults with this one, and for a somewhat laid back vanilla cream, this one works. **7/10**.

Desserts – VSO Flavors

All tested @ 16%, 70v/30p @ 3mg in a SteamCrave RDTA v.1 with fresh cotton and dry burned coils in between flavors.

**Spork Pudding Vanilla (VSO) 16% (9-6-20)** -- Alrighty, ON to the VSO One Shots testing !!!! First one on deck, was part of a tripple pack of the Spork Puddings. Pudding, can be a hard one to get right for everyone, and depending on where you're from or live, your expectations will differ. My tastes lean heavily towards a Jello Pudding, and the like for comparison.

This one presented as a very rich, and full vanilla pudding, that leaned towards custard for my tastes. My current VP fav would have to be hands down FLV VP. Was def. getting some egg from this one, which leaned it towards a custard for me, but had some other elements in there, which kept it from leaning too far to the custard. The vanilla notes were very interesting, and kept you fulfilled, and guessing at the same time. Sweetness was actually lower than expected, and was below mid level sweet. At this testing weight, it was very full, rich, and good. I can't elaborate on any "Sporking", but this one was quite good, and to my tastes, fell into a 50/50 Pudding/Custard category. Not a "pure" pudding, but damned good as it was. Solidly at a **8.75/10**.

**Spork Pudding Strawberry (VSO) 16% (9-6-20)** -- 2nd Spork on deck, and wow, the Strawberry really works great in this one. I can detect many of the same elements from the Vanilla, but sometime unique happened when Shane imparted the SB in this one. It almost took on a shift towards a SB Milkshake. Not entirely, or even half way, but it's a delicious shift. The SB is in the lead on the inhale, and the shake/custard/pudding is more pronounced on the exhale. This feels like a delicious pink SB cloud. To my tastes the almost shake-like shift was really a plus, and helped the overall experience. Like the vanilla, I didn't get a traditional American Jello Pudding out of this, but the custard/pudding base can not be denied. Very satisfying vape at this testing weight, and sweetness felt a tick above mid level, and it worked well. All in, pushing this up a tick to **9.25/10**.

**Spork Pudding Blueberry (VSO) 16% (9-7-20)** -- Finishing out this tri-Spork set is the Blueberry Spork Pudding. Yes, the delicious VSO BB makes it's appearance in this flavor, as expected, and it just plain works. Much like the SB Spork, this one presented as rather a milkshake/pudding/custard flavor, and was solid at this testing weight. I wouldn't say a BB Smoothie, but it didn't pull concisely towards a pudding, more of the aforementioned profile. It was interesting to see how the VSO BB fared in a creamy/custard mix, and as to how it held it's own, and didn't get lost in the mix. Some of the punch of the BB got absorbed by the base, but there was still PLENTY of it on deck, to make itself known. All in, this one was very good, and lower than mid level sweetness kept it easy to vape. A nice BB milkshake/pudding/custard is what you get, and a great way to finish out the Spork Trio. **9/10**.


**Pineapple Whip (VSO) 16% (9-9-20)** -- LAST VSO One Shot on deck. Thanks to @muth, I took some time to get into this one, and was glad I did. Right out of the gate, I got a delicious Pineapple, and an almost Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream. Having created one of these, one of the biggest hurdles, was to get the cream level high enough to fully represent a soft serve ice cream, BUT, without drowning out the pineapple, and that proved to be quite a task. Shane did a great job balancing out the two with this one, as both elements were clearly present, without overpowering the other, or muting. It appeared to be an even 50/50 split, and that just really worked out. The pineapple had some lower (darker) notes, and much more mid notes, with just a very few high end notes. Tasted very natural, ripe, and favored the mid body of the pineapple. The "Whipp" didn't impart a whipped topping like say Cool Whip for those in the know, but I got much more of a light, yet very present vanilla profile, which I took to be a soft serve. Whether it's a "whip" or "soft serve" will be up to the individual, but I can tell you it works, and the two main profiles, support each other, and that ain't easy to do. Now on Shane's site, it does state there is a smidge of Coconut in there, and if you look hard enough, you can find it. Much more of a "rounder" than a player, but again, smartly done, and it works. Sweetness was a tick or two above mid level, and that was expected given the profile(s). Felt really good at this testing weight, and I can't pull it down with any take offs. Clean, natural, and very even keeled. Having spent quite a deal of time coming up with my own, I can very much appreciate how this one was balanced, and it would appear Timmerz had a hand in this one as well. **9.8/10**, without question.

**Strawberry Donut (VSO) 16% (9-7-20)** -- This one took the entire 10ml bottle to try and get a grasp on it. For starters, it was very good, but I couldn't decide if it was more of a SB Donut, or SB Cookie/Donut. It was missing any telltale yeast notes that often times accompanies "Doughnuts", and there was no (YAY) Playdoh, so what it did have was a great bakery element that teetered between somewhat of a donut and yet, a cookie. Sweetness was mid level, and the overall mix tasted really good at this level. I deliberated as to missing out on some of the Donut, vs. the absence of heavy yeast or Playdoh, for rating this one. After finishing the entire tester, it continued to be obvious that this WAS indeed a great flavor/one shot, despite it not being overtly donut-y-ish. Finalizing this interesting one at **8/10**.

Thanks out to Shane at VSO for getting this shipped out ASAP, and throwing in a free sample of his NEW Huckleberry. Have never used VSO flavors before, so this is all brand new for me. All mixed at the % below, and steeped for 1 week+, 70v/30p, 3mg. All tested in a SteamCrave RDTA v.1 with single wire, 7 wrap kanthal coils, w./ fresh cotton in between all tests. Typically tested @ 65 watts.

VSO Flavors

Just mixing these all up as of now. After a short wait, will start posting notes. FYI, I also picked up some of Shane’s One Shots, and will run a separate thread for them. Stay tuned …

Banana (VSO) 5% (8-29-20) – Long and hard, is the road to a great banana. Seems like there’s really only 3 choices. Runts, green, or over ripened. VSO’s banana was actually rather hard to identify/quantify. It was NOT a runt or candied, and didn’t present as an overly green banana, so that left ripened. It tasted fresh, but did have some ripened qualities to it. It was much fuller than I’d expected, with much more body, and maybe it was some browning banana ?? Not sure, but was NOT overripe at all. Actually quite tasty, and I could see if being heavily used in many nana breads, cereals, even coffees. Not fatiguing, or off putting, and the below mid level sweetness kept it fresh tasting. Continued vaping revealed more of the same, and despite having tried numerous nanas, I cannot think of a close comparison, which pushes it into the “unique” category. Now let’s be honest, sometimes, things can be “unique” and that’s NOT a good thing, but in this case, it’s a great thing. Shane did an interesting job with this one, and even at 5% (some mixers have gone lower), it didn’t feel like it was hitting the ceiling. It might not be present enough to carry ALL of the nana freight, but that in no way detracts from it. For a very unique banana, that has fresh, ripe, and maybe some peel elements in it, this might make it’s way onto your shelf. 8.75/10.

Blackberry (VSO) 5% (8-29-20) – Despite @fidalgo_vapes / @fiddy 's 2-3% ranging, I decided to go ALL IN at 5% across the board. As soon as I opened the bottle to fill the beloved SteamCrave RDTA v.1 I KNEW, something, was about to happen. This just didn’t smell like a “regular” blackberry, and it wasn’t. This presented as a very unique (I know, unique again) Blackberry. It’s almost as if it was a different “shade” of Blackberry. It had all the telltale notes, but there were others in there swirling around, creating QUITE a hard time for me to try and verbalize. Complex would suit this one’s description, and it could be that there were multiple darker berries in there, but couldn’t be sure. I dropped the 5% down to 3.75% just to make sure there were no critical differences and there weren’t. On the initial pull you get the deep, rich blackberry (medley ?) with a tick above mid level sweetness, but on the exhale the sweetness rapidly dissipates, so you’re not left with an overly sweet finish. What ?? How’d Shane do that ?? At both 3.75, and 5% the vape was great, mysterious, and had the reduced sweet finish, with almost a hint of bitter. Wow, for one flavor, there’s a LOT going on here, and all of it good. Nothing off putting, nothing artificial, just a great darker blackberry with probable other dark berry elements thrown in. Had a slight tartness, which worked great. Overall, (I know, I know), having a hard time knocking this one down. Perhaps the almost imperceivable bitter finish might be it. All in, if you are thinking of only buying a few VSO flavors, this one should also be on your list. Very mysterious, dark blackberry, that shifts a bit while vaping, with a slight tartness, that is hard to find a comparison to, is what this one is. 9.5/10.

Blueberry (VSO) 5% (8-28-20) – Alright, alright, ALRIGHT, let’s kick this OFF !!! First one on deck from Shane over at VSO. Brand new MFG for me, and not seeing a ton of info on them, felt it was right to look into them. Huge Medicine Flower fan, so when I saw natural extracts, I signed up. OUT of the gate, the very FIRST impression I got was it was very similar TO MF. No surprise right, natural extracts, right ? It wasn’t a MF BB clone, but a VERY good Blueberry. At 5% it felt pretty good, even, and strong, and it presented as a fairly COMPLEX BB. Absent were any off putting musky notes that some BB’s have, and it did a good job of capturing the ENTIRE BB experience, top to bottom. It had low notes, plenty of mid notes, and just enough of the high end, which included some bright punch, that you could almost get from the skin. Wow, let’s vape some more of this one… Yeah, that’s a good one. It’s complex in so much that every time you vape it, it presents just a bit different, which makes it a great vape, even solo. It didn’t seem to ride ONE line, i.e. pure natural, candied, jammed, etc. but had elements of all, which again, added to the complexity of it. Sweetness was about mid level, and despite CHAIN vaping this one, I just couldn’t find any take offs. An interesting thing I noticed, was when vaping, the initial vape leaned sweeter, but as you continued and exhaled, the tart picked up a smidge. For my FIRST VSO flavor, color me impressed. For a beautiful well rounded BB, that is fairly complex with just the right amount of sweetness, and tart, you might just be surprised with this one, and glad you picked it up. Finishing the tester on this one. Due to my complete inability to find anything I didn’t like with this one, placing it at 10/10.

Coconut (VSO) 5% (8-28-20) – After having many issues with most of the Coconut flavors, including off notes, greasy notes, etc., was curious to see how VSO’s would fare. Pleased to say that I had NO issues with this one. Nothing greasy, artificial tasting, or off putting could be found here. Whew !!! My current Coconut fav would have to be Delosi, for comparison. This one presented as a nice, full bodied coconut @ 5%, and tasted plenty rich, with a mid level sweetness. It carried mostly low and mid notes, with a smidge of top end notes. The fullness of it at this weight really worked well to round out a great solo vape, and it actually tasted better than another natural extract flavor. All in, this carried everything you need in a coconut with no greasy notes, right to the vape. Accurate, and natural tasting, and although mid sweet, wasn’t candied, and had flesh notes and milk notes all in the mix. Second VSO flavor where I was having a hard time finding take offs. Solid @ 9/10.

Huckleberry (VSO) 5% (8-31-20) – OK everyone, LAST single flavor test ON DECK. I did save this one for last, despite torturing @SwaggyShane over it, hehe. OK, what the HELL is a Huckleberry. If you look it up, you may get quite a few different answers. Can look LIKE Blueberries, but they ain’t !!! Alright, now that the dust has settled on that, let’s see what’s what here, for science and stuff (yes, I said STUFF, I have to post this on multiple sites). When Shane said he threw an extra one in the basket, I didn’t know what to expect. I know you guys are probably get sick of hearing it, but dammit, this one is UNIQUE !!! My initial reaction (beyond WOW), was it was like riding a Blueberry sled, down a hill full of Blackberries !!! Yes, you read that right. OK, seriously though, this has elements of both Blueberry and Blackberry in a ONE, TWO assault on your senses. Despite more chain vaping, the melding of those two main elements could not be shaken. As many other of Shane’s creations, this one as well, is fairly complex, in so much that it really keeps you guessing with different elements peeking out at you from time to time while vaping it. At 5%, if seemed all but perfect, rich, full, and just IYF (In Your Face) delicious. Sweetness might be a tick above mid sweet, but it suits this flavor. Nothing off putting, artificial, except for the undying desire to KEEP on vaping it !!! I think this is a NEW release from VSO, and it’s very worthy OF being released. I think simply saying Blueberry and Blackberry doesn’t really come close, but it’ll have to do. This flavor vapes great, and finishes with a tart kicker, that really drives this one home. If you are in the market for a DIFFERENT blueberry-ish, blackberry-ish, darker berry-ish vape, this one SHOULD be on your must have list. Handily closing out this series, with a 10.1/10. I have to give this a + 0.1, because it’s just too damned good, not to.

Peach (VSO) 5% (8-29-20) – Very often when flavor testing, and after the FIRST vape, you get a take-away that is not only accurate, but never changes throughout the entire test. That was the case here. Juicy, yellow peaches in syrup !!! Review over. OK, maybe a bit more. Although that was my first impression, the peach was not candied or syrupy per se, and the sweetness was actually right at the mid level, and never swayed from a natural peach. Def. getting a yellow peach from this, and a very good one at that. It seemed to be missing some of the high end punch that would really drive it home, and screamed to have a dash of FA Apricot to push it over that last little bit. Very smooth was another aspect that continued throughout the test. I think we have a Peach winner here. For a great yellow, mid-sweet Peach, you can’t go wrong with this. Although tested at 5%, you could probably reduce to 3-4%. The only take off was a slight lack of high end punch, but could easily be fixed with a smidge of Apricot. All in, solid at 8.5/10.

Pear (VSO) 5% (8-29-20) – While admittedly almost always using Pears as enhancers, and not main flavor profiles, it was interesting to be able to dive into one here. Compared to my previous VSO tests, this one was more delicate, and even at 5% was somewhat laid back. Got plenty of Pear, but clearly it could be overpowered in a mix, if not used correctly. It might benefit from some boosting. The profile was indeed that of a fresh, juicy pear. I didn’t get any “sugar sand” effect, but that is really more of a feel, than a taste. Sweetness was again, about mid level, and it presented as mostly the body with a hint of the skin. There were some green apple-ish notes in there floating around, but it could have been the tart elements. Had just enough tart punch on the top to keep it interesting. Although lighter, this is a great Pear flavor. Minor take offs for presence, not flavor. 7.5/10.

Red Raspberry (VSO) 5% (8-28-20) – Red, red raspberry, how do I love thee ?? Plenty, as long as you’re NOT floral !!! Nothing floral about VSO’s RRB and that started it off good. With my go to being MF’s Wild Raspberry, any RB has a hill to climb. This one actually DID convey “red” pretty well, and it felt nice at this testing weight. As expected with a natural extract, it was very natural tasting, not candied, and full enough without being overbearing. Sweetness was below mid level, and without getting any seeds from it, it covered the flavor spectrum well. A little tartness added to the authenticity, and kept the solo vape interesting. From the beginning to the end of the vape it did shift just a little bit which was interesting. It wasn’t lacking, but not 100% sure it would carry the entire freight, and might need a little boost. Throughout the entire tester, I kept fighting the urge to toss it into one of my Custard bases, but I fought the urge. Nothing to take off for, but could use just a small boost, as it felt about 75% there. With that said, a great Red Raspberry, and felt really good at 7.5/10.

Strawberry (VSO) 5% (8-30-20) – Was holding OFF on this one, because do we really need ANOTHER Strawberry ?? !!! Maybe so. Read on, and see if you agree. Nearing the end of my first VSO run here, I started to notice a trend with how Shane puts a UNIQUE touch/spin on his fruit flavors. This Strawberry is no different, and despite chain vaping the hell out of it, I couldn’t really pair it with a “it’s kinda like …”. Nope, can’t do it. It was nice and full at this weight, and did present as somewhat complex (again with the complex). Complex in that it didn’t seem to taste like a cut and dry Sweet, Juicy, Jammed, Candied, etc., but kind of wandered around while vaping it. Hard to nail down, and that makes for an interesting vape. It had a fullness that many other SB’s lacked. It wasn’t a bright SB like FLV’s Alpine, and not a Ripe per se, but seemed to be a natural tasting SB with some sweetness, juiciness, and just the right amount of tart on the top end. Not jammed, and not overly sweet, but the fullness of the main body is what kept interesting me. I guess you could say, it had more mid notes with some low notes, that I don’t typically get from Strawberries. It’s a harder one to quantify. Because of it’s unique, multiple qualities, I could see this being used a LOT, as it could fit the bill in many types of mixes. I actually finished the entire bottle before writing this, as I was struggling to “nail it down”. It’s a GREAT SB, and if you are making a VSO must have, you can add this one to it. Could not find anything to take off on this one. For a really good natural Strawberry that has surprising body, is very unique, and could fit in almost any mix, this one might be for you. I’m glad I have a 30ml of it, let’s just say that. 10/10.

Watermelon (VSO) 5% (8-28-20) – Here is ANOTHER VSO flavor that out of the gate had me immediately comparing to Medicine Flower. Not identical, but at least in the same ballpark. Tested this at 5% so it is a non-ultra, but, it was damned good at this weight. VERY smooth watermelon throughout the vape, with mid level sweetness, The more I vaped it, the more perfect the sweetness level seemed. Had plenty of red, with some white, and maybe a touch of rind, but only a touch. Very natural tasting (DUH), and best part was, NO SEEDS. Just to see what’s what, I may try it in my Watermelon Explosion just to see what’s what. This WM had almost some honey/honeydew notes to it (but NO, not Honey, honey), and it worked to really fatten it out. Even though it’s not an ultra, it is damned good, and should be on your short VSO list. Handily a 9.8/10.

Thanks out to @wllmc from @BullCityFlavors for sending these out for testing. Not a lot of information out there on these, so decided to start LOW with these.

All mixed at the percentages listed, @ 3mg, 70v/30p, tested on a SteamCrave RDTA v.1, with dual vertical, 7 wrap, 24ga. Kanthal coils, with fresh cotton and dry burned coils in between tests. Steeped for 1+ week.

**Series III:**

https://forum...................../...by-sessiondrummer/247616/341?u=sessiondrummer

**Apple Strudel (SSA) 1.5% (9-18-20)** -- Sugar, and Spice, and everything Nice is what this one had. As far as the strudel portion, your take on a strudel will dictate what you think about it's inclusion here. I got a solid bakery from this one, that paired perfectly with the sweet and full, slightly spiced apple. The apple(s) were of the "filing" type, and similar to FLV's Apple Filling, but with less spice. There were some spice notes, but very low in the mix, and in no way obtrusive. At 1.5% it was very even, full, and satisfying with little to no concern of over or under flavoring. The bakery element did waver to and from a strudel-ish note, but was so evenly paired with the apple it was hard to nit pick it.
Sweetness was right about mid level, and expected in a desert type flavor. Pretty good one here, with not much to take off for. If anything might need to be boosted, it might be the strudel, but that would be a toss up. For a very natural tasting (not artificial) Apple Strudel that is mid sweet, and quite full at lower percentages, this one can get it done for you. Far better than most of the "Apple Pies" out there.
**9.2/10**.

**Bubble Gum (SSA) 1% (10-9-20)** -- Another FIRST for me, as I have NEVER solo'd a Bubble Gum before, so your mileage may vary. I typically have countless flavors to make comparisons to, contrasts, rankings, etc., so breaking new ground. In the tank this one smelled, well, almost exactly like your typical American Bubble Yum. No fruit flavorings, just good old pink Bubble Gum. At times it wandered around, but never really left it's profile. Having used BG's a lot, mostly pairings with WM's or Looper recipes, it was interesting to finally solo one. It stayed fairly true to a BG throughout the tank with no perceivable wintergreen or anise that others sometimes have, and interestingly, was right about mid level sweet. @ 1% it felt pretty good, with no signs of being over/under powered, and at times, it almost had that white powdered sugar they sometimes put on the pieces to prevent sticking to the wrapper. Not being a BG aficionado, I was still impressed by how accurate it was overall, despite wandering about a bit at times. I could see this working out with my WM and Loopers nicely. I will play around with this one a bit after the review, and see how it fares and pairs. As it sits, a pretty accurate Bubble Gum, with no fancy fruits, that does the job well. **8.5/10**.

**Butterscotch (SSA) 1% (10-9-20)** -- First one, second series on deck !!! How many Butterscotches have I tried ?? Probably all of them, and most have their plusses and minuses, with probably MF's being the top current pick for comparison. This one came across as a somewhat more relaxed flavor @ 1%, so it's possible stepping it up, might pull it forward more, but it was quite good, even at 1%. This one didn't hit you as hard up front (relaxed), but you could feel the sweetness and buttery-ness begin to build on the inhale, and it peaked near the end of the exhale. Almost a meshing of a buttery, caramely-ness that carried through most of the vape. Because it was more relaxed, it was harder to pick certain elements out, and it def. was not a candied BS, and therefore left it firmly in the more natural camp. Very clean, very authentic, and further testing above 1% will have to be done to see if it can be pulled more forward. For a somewhat relaxed, more natural tasting BS, this one does it right. No real take-offs, off notes, etc., and sweetness was about mid level. Somewhat subdued @ 1%, but very good none the less. **8/10** .

**Compote Cherry (SSA) .75% (9-19-20)** -- Let's admit it, cherries are the DEVIL of DIY IMO. I have had, and been let down by MORE cherries than I can remember. We've all had them, the medicinal, soapy, perfumey, and just plain baddies. Is there reluctance every time I try one ?? Ummm, YES. Sniff tested all of these while trying to decide on the strengths to test as, as there was LITTLE to no info on them. Settled on 0.75% for this one, and ............ (suspense) ........................ it worked out GREAT. NO of the aforementioned cherry issues were found here today. Whew, what a relief. At this testing weight, it was very full, BUT, with none of the ceiling hitting side effects, so I'm going to go with a 0.50-0.75% rec. on this one. As it stood, a very unique cherry, which just means, it tastes like none of the other ones I've tried, and the "compote" may be partially to blame for that. A compote is where whole fruit is cooked down in sugar/water, unlike a jam wherein the fruit is typically cut up. They DO taste different, and am trying to decide if the uniqueness of this one is the compote. The cherry was very broad spectrum, and didn't reside in just one specific cherry, but I think the overwhelming profile leaned towards maraschino, but it's more than just that. Didn't really pick up on a black cherry, but let's just leave it at a full bodied mara for now. There was this little peppy BURST that I got on every finish on this one, that was very interesting. Almost like a sharp little Fuji Apple kicker on the tail end, but I don't want to pigeon hole it to that specific, but it's LIKE that. Sweetness was a click or two above mid level (duh, compote), and it did not appear too high, for the flavor. The overall profile was exactly as it was named, with no change throughout the tank. Having been wacked (possible over flavoring on my part) by many cherries before, this one was a welcome relief on my quest FOR the cherry. I'm QUITE sure, if this one was overflavored there COULD be some issues, so GO LOW, and I suggest a 0.50-0.75% starting point. It might not carry ALL of your cherry weight in mixes, but it damn sure could, and I think I'm going to let @alfredpudding know about this, as his Cherry Bomb was utterly brilliant, and insanely good. What an impressive Cherry this was to try, and if you've been hurt by cherries before, you def. want to add this one to your list. Something feels unholy in giving a cherry a 10 out of 10, so for religious reasons, I will cap this off @ **9.9/10**.

**Creme Brulee (SSA) 1% (10-11-20)** -- OK, I think @woftam might have been the first one to mention this, but this one (like a very few others) is dark, and soulless. Now, some people will be scared off, others will embrace it's darkness. At 1% (4-5 drops) in my 10ml tester, the mix was (duh), very dark. OK, but how'd it taste ? Brulee is a burnt cream, and caramelized sugar desert. There were aspects of the aforementioned in here, but in somewhat reduced quantities. There was an almost coffee note on the lower end that added to the burnt note. I will check the coils/cotton after the tester tank, but I suspect it will be quite dark as well. Overall the flavor was good, but more of a caramelized sugar coffee with some cream elements. At 1% it was fairly strong, and mid level sweet, and the burnt note(s) seemed to increase somewhat throughout the testing. Continued testing, and an increasing burnt note led me to believe that it may have been fouling the cotton/coils more than originally suspected. Good flavor, but the extreme darkness and perceived increasing burnt note will make this one harder to use. Because of this, leaving it at **5/10**.

**Crisp Waffle (SSA) 1.0% (9-19-20)** -- When smelling in the bottle, this reminded me of the original INW Waffle YC. Having never solo'd that one, I could not directly compare the two. Vaping this one, revealed a very rich, and full waffle, BUT, with no distinct butter or maple syrup, which was GREAT. That way you could use it in far more recipes, but alter with B and MS if/as needed. Outstanding. I wasn't sure where to test this one, and it's POSSIBLE that 1.0% may have pushed it too far, but read on, and you decide. At the testing weight it did not feel like it was hitting the ceiling, but the "toasted" or "burnt" notes that I was getting, along with a peanut were emerging on the back end of the vape. Now that's not to say that they got in the way OF the waffle in any way, shape, or form, they did not, but they were present. I will probably have to re-test this lower at maybe 0.50%, just to see. Even with the very small (not offensive, but present) alternate notes, this one WAS indeed a super delicious waffle. It had some dark, rich undertones, which may have been from the burnt/toasted element, but overall it did not taste burnt, like burnt toast, but merely had some of it, in the finish. Belgian, American, Wheat ?? Hard to say, but it leaned mid to darker, and away from a lighter, and not towards a wheat, so we'll settle on a mid-dark waffle. Sweetness was just below mid level, and despite looking HARD for any butter or maple syrup, it was not to be found here. There was a certain richness/fullness that almost implied butter was in there, but you couldn't pick it out. Even at 1.0% with some of the burnt/peanut push at the end, it never left focus on the waffle, so your tastes will dictate the effect of them, and/or if lowering the rate would reduce them further. All in, for a naked waffle, with some impressive almost bakery grainy-ness, this one's got it. I will amend this review if I get time to test lower, and at this testing weight, it feels good at **8.5/10**.

**Dessert Chocolate (SSA) 0.85% (9-16-20)** -- FIRST ONE on deck, and I chose a DARK ONE at that. Don't be AFRAID, just because something's dark, hehe, but you might change your cotton more often, depending on the flavor. Upon FIRST vape, I KNEW this was a KNOCK OUT flavor. Chocolates are hard to get right, whether it's Band Aids in Milk Chocolates, or Dark and Bitter/Dry in Dark Chocolates. This one had NO off-putting notes whatsoever. I can't think of a direct comparison, but at first FLV's Red Velvet came to mind, as it had some very good almost cake elements to it. No Band Aid, no dryness, no bitterness. At this testing weight, it was very nice, rich, and full. It could even be used lower if needed, so we are talking Ultra concentrates at this level and lower. Tested this at 65 watts, with no scorching or burning that I could detect, which was another plus. The chocolate leaned darker, but wasn't a full "Dark" chocolate, and the cakey-ness could not be denied, and it really pulled it into a desert type flavor. You could almost solo vape this IMO, because of the great pairing of the choco and cake. The cake notes (or whatever you deem them to be) really pulled this into a unique category all it's own, much like Wonder Flavor's Smores Cupcake did. All in, this first one, was far better than I expected, AND, at a very low mixing rate. Because of the added richness (cakey-ness) I could DEF. see this in quite a few desert, smores, etc. recipes. While not a "pure" chocolate per se, it's damned good, and should be on your "must try" list, if you are new to SSA flavors. **9.9/10**.

**Guava (SSA) 1% (10-11-20)** -- Last one on deck for the end of Series II. I think we're going to finish it with a BANG. Haven't vaped a lot of Guavas, but that didn't stop this one from basically nailing the profile. Pink, fleshy, and punchy were the initial thoughts, with an almost slight fermented kick that really added to the authenticity. Very clean and full at 1%, and that felt really good, not under/over powered. Sweetness was about mid level, and the pink punch factor on this one can not be overstated. Most of the flavor remained in the mid region, with a smidge of low end, and some nice high end punch to finish it off. It stays fairly true and natural throughout the tank with a hint of candied, but only a hint. NO take-offs to be found with this one, and you could obviously go lower for accents, and possibly higher for main notes if needed. Clean, fresh, and accurate were the big take-aways on this one, and it just plain worked. **9.25/10**.

**Ice Cream (SSA) 2.0% (9-20-20)** -- I had to finish TWO tester tanks on this one, to try and nail down what was going on here. First things first, probably the BEST Ice Cream flavor I have tried to date. Not vanilla, not chocolate, no pepper, no BA, none of the typical creamy aftertastes that most of the other players have, BUT (ain't there always a BUT ?), it was fairly subdued. I smelled this one in the bottle, and knew I'd have to mix it higher, and I did. Even at 2.0%, it was still very laid back. You could say weaker, but it felt laid back. As it stood, a delicious sweet ice cream, with no offensive notes, no heavy creameries, and very neutral. Now, despite this being as great as it was, it would be easy to overpower this in a mix, so mixing wise, some caution would be need to be used. It reminded me of a Chic Fil A (for you US members) ice cream. Very natural tasting, sweetness was a tick above mid level, and had an absolutely clean finish. Because SSA has a Vanilla Ice Cream which I have not tested, am wondering if it was as good, but stronger, maybe a pairing of the two to solidify, and anchor the base might work. Minor take offs, but ONLY for it's laid back nature, NOT the flavor profile. Two tank fulls, and haven't found an off note yet. **8.0/10**.

**Ice Cream Vanilla (SSA) 1.5% (10-11-20)** – Deciding on what strength to mix this at after testing SSA’s Ice Cream @ 2% proved difficult. It smelled stronger in the bottle, so decided to drop 0.5% from the original Ice Cream. Even mixed down from their Ice Cream, this one presented as much more forward, and fuller. A lot of similarities to SSA’s Ice Cream but with more presence, and some nice Vanilla notes thrown in. The vanilla seemed close to a vanilla bean that was high enough in the mix to make itself known but not overpower the profile. Clean, accurate, and I actually think better than their Ice Cream. I love the fresh approach to an Ice Cream SSA has taken, as none of the somewhat off-putting sour or typical cream notes found in many other IC’s. One of the best I have tried. Even presenting stronger/fuller/richer than the regular Ice Cream, it isn’t as heavy handed as say LB’s VIC. Sweetness was lower than mid level, and I could see numerous uses for this one, as was the case with the Ice Cream. Moving this up on the scale for a fuller, richer, more flavorful experience than the regular IC. **8.95/10** .

**Irish Cream (SSA) 1.5% (9-20-20)** -- Having never vaped an Irish Cream, but had it in quite a few drinks before, I knew what I was in for. At 1.5% it felt fairly strong but not overpowering. I did not get any Whiskey from it, but I did get a fair amount of coffee, cream, some chocolate, and quite probably a vanilla cream in there. As a whole it was very good, and the coffee note remained throughout the vape. Almost a toffee coffee with some cream. Sweetness was lower than mid level, and despite having a cream element, it didn't feel overly creamy. No bitter, or off-putting notes, and despite finishing the tank, I kept returning to my coffee with toffee and cream. It is very possible that IC's may not fully be in my wheelhouse, but this was a good vape. Because the coffee element was present throughout the vape, it struck me as more of a coffee drink. All in, with the forward coffee element, feels good @ **7.0/10**.

**Juicy Cherries (SSA) 0.75% (10-10-20)** -- Oh no !!! Did Sobucky just come out with ANOTHER great Cherry ?? !!!! Yes, ........... yes they did. As with their other cherry tested, I was slightly scared to load this one up into the Vapesled, but I did indeed do, just that. YES, this one is ANOTHER Great Cherry from Sobucky. PLEASE take note of my sub-percent testing strength, as more and more of these ARE proving to be Ultras (Ultra-Concentrates(ed), and this one is no different. If you test this at 3% and blow up, I warned you. OK, this one is just as good, if not better than SSA's Compote Cherry, but the "better" part will be up to you, the end user, and what profile you're looking for. This again (I know, repeating), had NO medicinal, floral, cough syrupy notes of any shape, kind or form. EMBRACE the madness of that for a second. That makes TWO from these guys. OK, at this ultra low 0.75% it was a VERY satisfying Cherry Vape, with NO signs of hitting the ceiling, but it was so rich and full at this weight, I wouldn't go much higher, for fear of (bad things). I was having a hard time quantifying exactly what type of cherry/cherries this was, let the wife try, she seemed to think more of a Luden's lozenge, BUT, again, NOT a cough drop medicinal style. To me, this was somewhat of a darker cherry than the Compote, but not totally towards a Black Cherry. Confused yet ?? Good, me too, hehe. It did have some aspects of a Maraschino in there, and some of a Black Cherry, but it was more than the sum of them. Sweetness was actually below mid level, and honestly, I could not find any take-offs. I know, it's a CHERRY, there's GOT to be something wrong with it, right ? Not really, except maybe the name. Juicy Cherries had me thinking of TPA's Juicy Peach, or FA's Juicy Strawberry, but I didn't get an overwhelming "juicy" from it. Wasn't dry, and was a great darker, somewhat black cherry-ish flavor, but maybe the name is the ONLY thing wrong with this one. Had some slight tartness, but only slight, and maybe you could almost taste the pit a little. All in, despite it not presenting as overly "juicy" this is the second great cherry vape from Sobucky, and if you are in need for a darker cherry, with aspects of both a Mara and a BC, you should get this one. Start mixing it LOW though, 0.5-0.75% range, or you're on your own. Feels great at **9.5/10**.

**Mascarpone Cream (SSA) 1.5% (9-23-20)** -- Getting near the end of this trial run batch, and the Mascarpone Cream is on deck. Creams can be hard to SFT, as by themselves, they can be hard to taste sometimes, quantify other times, and their EFFECT cannot always be fully realized in SFT's, but test we shall. First things first NO BA in this flavor. It presented as a very even keeled cream, with some sweet undertones. Undertones, because it tasted lower than mid level sweet, but it peaked at the end of the vape, interesting. The flavor itself was hard to quantify, and didn't taste like a vanilla, but it was in that ballpark. Nice mouthfeel, and did impress as a cream. Maybe the best way to describe it was a fairly thick-ish, filling cream type flavor. Due to the nature OF SFT's I cannot gauge it's impact on other flavors, but I can see using this to fatten up mixes, round them out, and take off some sharp edges, without burying the mix. It's light enough where I think that will work easily, without being a BA rich, heavy handed cream assault. While testing creams, milks, dairies isn't the MOST exciting thing to do, most of us use creams in a lot of our mixes. For it's non-heavy handed approach, and neutral flavor, I give it high marks because it will increase it's usefulness on your rack. Not a milk, not a dairy, but a very good, semi-sweet filling cream. **9.25/10**.

**Mocca Coffee (SSA) .75% (9-27-20)** -- Bet you guys thought I forgot about this one with all the things going on this week. Bad news, I DIDN'T !!!! Finishing up this series on the Sobucky Super Aromas, this one WAS one of the darker ones (4th from the left in the pic), and even mixing it low @ 0.75%, it was fairly dark in the tester bottle. Now although I was getting an almost coffee-ish flavor fro their Irish Cream, THIS ONE, nails it down, and buries it. WOW, this one WAS that good. OK, for perspective, the hands down BEST coffee-ish mix I have ever tested has to go, hands down to The Italian Vaper at DIY Flavor Chaser with his Italian Cafe Gelato. Granted this one is but a single flavor, it was nearing the ballpark of the aforementioned, and THAT, is some rare air. This one was surprisingly rich, full, and delicious at this testing weight, and you could probably even reduce to 0.5% (ultra), and still have plenty of flavor. Smelling it was exactly like vaping it, and it was a velvety smooth, seemless roller coaster ride of a coffee, some caramel, and some chocolate. It was not bitter, and had no sharp edges, so there is a full on cream element in there, but it takes a backseat to the tripple punch coffee/caramel/mocha. Despite being as strong as it was at this weight, it was in no way hitting the ceiling, sweetness was mid level, and despite CHAIN vaping this one, I could not make it reveal anything that was unpleasant. The way the compounds were combined just really worked, and seamless just kept coming to mind. Mid to darker coffee, with no acidic tones, and tasted VERY authentic. If you are looking for a GREAT Mocca Coffee, that is spot on accurate, seamlessly melded, nicely sweet, that is authentic, this one NEEDS to be on your list. I'm going to recommend that our resident coffee guy @Rocky02852 take a look at this one, to see if he could use it. As it stands, for a single flavor, to present MORE complex and enjoyable than most coffee one shots, this is an impressive way to end the series. Hands down, no contest, **10/10**.

**Nectarines (SSA) 1% (10-11-20)** -- This one smelled almost spot on in the bottle, and vaping it revealed a very light, airy nectarine flavor. I almost got more of it smelling off the bottle than I did in the vape. Maybe I'm test blind to Nectarines ?? Actually added 2-3 drops directly into the tester tank, mixed, and it improved slightly. Either I'm partially blind to this flavor, OR, it's just a very light flavor. It did taste very natural with some good citrus notes, and almost some citrus oil (but only a smidge), and plenty of juicy-ness. Sweetness was lower than mid-level, and I kept thinking of how clean it tasted, but that could have been from it's light airy-ness. If any of you test this, and get a more full on nectarine, reveal the secret to me. As it was, it was indeed a very clean, accurate nectarine, but for my tastes, it was just very light, and airy, and would be easily overcome in a mix, unless boosted. Very good, but very light and delicate at the same time. Punching it at **6.75/10**.

**Raspberry Syrup (SSA) 1.0% (9-17-20)** -- As sometimes happens, the moment you start a new flavor, you get an impression, that you can't shake throughout the entire test, and it happened again. First thoughts were INW Raspberry Malina meets MF Wild Raspberry. Let's start out with what this one wasn't. I didn't get a huge "syrup"-ness from this one, BUT, that's about the ONLY bad thing I COULD find with it. At 1% it was nice and full, and probably COULD be run lower, but in no way was it hitting the ceiling @ 1%. Super damned delicious, with about ZERO of the issues that I've had with most other RB's. It centered around a mid and somewhat dark raspberry, with surprisingly low sweetness (hence the "where's the syrup"). It had a really nice tart-ish finish that really drove an already GREAT raspberry flavor, all the way home. Tasted very natural with zero off-putting notes or characteristics, and almost seemed to have a smidge of seeds in there. Currently (but not with MF's Wild Rasp) I have to combine multiple players to get a great RB, but this one, can really hold it's own, and leave you wanting more. Second one from SSA that I've tested, and thus far, VERY impressive. If you have tried MF Wild Rasp, and INW Malina, then invision the two of them combined, and that will get you very in the ballpark of this one. Despite being named a "syrup", the lower than expected sweetness would allow far greater uses of this one, and you could spike the sweet up if needed. I hate to say it so early in the testing here, but this one also, could/should be on your must try list from SSA. Very clean, accurate, and natural tasting Raspberry, that encompassed almost everything you'd want FROM a Raspberry. **10/10**.

**Ripe Banana (SSA) 1% (10-11-20)** -- I think many people's perspective on bananas might depend on how they actually like to eat them (or the profile they want too LOL). I like mine leaning to the green side, and if they're over ripe, I can't really eat them. Long is the list of nanas out there, and most favor a ripened, or creamed profile. This one actually captured how I like to eat mine, with a little bit of green in it. You may hate that profile, so be advised, that is what I got from this one. Fairly full @ 1%, with lower than mid-level sweetness, and an almost puree of a banana with hints of the green on top. It had a somewhat creamy texture, but didn't appear creamed if that makes sense. The green portion really tasted accurate, and got most of it on the tail end of the vape. Because of the green notes, and the somewhat laid back nature of it, it might not carry the main nana freight, but could be very useful in many recipes where you need to flush out a fuller banana. I did not get any candied or runts notes from this, and tasted roughly 50/50 natural/artificial. Not the strongest or most natural nana out there, but for my tastes, this one seemed very unique, and could take a space all it's own on your rack. **8.75/10**.

**Ripe Coconut (SSA) 1% (10-9-20)** -- I know I've said this before, but there are some really bad coconuts out there, some are oily, some are suntan lotion-y, and some are almost floral. It is never without hesitation that a new coconut is tested hehe. Great news is, this is one of the good ones. NONE of the aforementioned notes, characteristics, or attributes in this one. It does appear hard to make a rich, full, accurate Coconut without it pushing into suntan lotion-ville, but somehow, Sobucky did it. Very, full, rich, and almost (not totally) creamy coconut here, that came across as quite natural without any candied aspects, or off-putting notes. It was plenty full @ 1%, and you could probably go a little higher or lower as needed, and what I really liked about this one (beyond the obvious) was that it smelled exactly like it did in the tank, as vaping it. I have had countless flavors wherein they smell great in the tank, but when vaping are NOT the same lol. Presented as a very even mix of almost the milk, flesh, and you could almost detect some flakes in there !!! Chain vaping it didn't reveal any issues or changes, which was nice. Overall, a very rich and full, natural coconut that didn't lean to candied, that was mid-level sweet, and non-fatiguing. Your personal tastes may dictate whether or not you mix at, above, or below my testing weight. Did directly contemplate running to mix up a Coconut Cream Pie and a Dragon's Blood, BUT, after I get through all these testers. **9.4/10**.

**Shortbread Cookie (SSA) 2% (9-18-20)** -- Oh Nooo, another cookie ?? Think again. That's what I thought going into this one, "Do we need another cookie" ?? Well, after trying this one, I think we DO. This review directly followed my review of SSA's Raspberry Syrup, and I immediately wanted to mix the two of these. At 2%, this one was right on track, rich, full, buttery, and somehow, really captured the Shortbread aspect(s). Not sure how they did it, but it is clearly NOT a cookie, or biscuit, but lands smack, dab, in the middle of Shortbread city. One could say it is "similar" to Jungle Flavor's biscuit, which presented almost as a pairing of INW Bicuit, and FA's Cookie, but this one is much more than that. SSA apparently spent some time really nailing the shortbread aspect of this, and it shows. You almost get a grainy bakery in this one, coupled with some buttery goodness. Not topped out at 2%, and it felt great at this weight. Sweetness was almost mid level, with no real take-offs. Surely it could be push/pulled if needed, depending on your American vs. European bakery needs, but you might just find after testing it, that you wont. All in, this is an outstanding, and perhaps the best shortbread cookie (type) that I have tested. Didn't really pick up any vanilla per se, and not 100% sure if I'm getting a smidge of almond or not, but possibly so. If you're in the market for a great shortbread cookie, and/or love your bakeries, you'll have to add this one to your list as well. Sorry guys, I'm trying to go critical on these flavors, but after 3 in, I'm having a hard time finding any faults thus far. I kept teetering on a rating, because you just can't rate everything at the top, but I emptied an entire tester tank on this one as well, and was left with no negatives. A great bakery shortbread cookie here, with butter elements that just can't be denied. **10/10**.

**Whipped Cream (SSA) 1.25% (10-10-20)** – Does anyone get excited to test a Whipped Cream ?? Often times not. This one had me re-thinking that. Because it smelled a little weaker in the bottle, mixed this one a little higher @ 1.25%, and it worked out great at this weight. A surprisingly full, rich, and satisfying Whipped Cream vape. It was far more present than most WC’s I’ve tried, and it was good enough that you could just solo vape this all day if you wanted. Yes, that good. A lot of people have sworn by TPA’s WC for it’s Triacetin , which helped tone sharp edges, and aided in blending. I could not find any sheets on these SSA flavors, so I can’t comment on that aspect. After finishing an entire tank, and moving on to the second, I was still blown away by how authentic this one was, and very present. No mistaking that you had a WC in the tank here. Light vanilla notes, creamy, with moderate mouthfeel just kept pushing this right to the top of the WC’s I have tried. Sweetness was actually lower than expected, especially for a WC, which would just allow even MORE uses for this one. Authentic, very present, slight vanilla, and creamy goodness is what this brought to the table. After finishing the second tank, I still couldn’t find any faults with this one. Deliciously solid at **9.8/10** .

Howdy cloud chasers.First visit here.Just a quicky...is ten bottles of nico (18mg each), added to a 500ml bottle of juice, asking for trouble? Vaped for a few years now but kind of low knowledge on the technicalities,but l guess l'm at the lower end of nico requirements by now and l can't or don't necessarily want to ditch it but i'm struggling a bit on the mathematical side of things tbh,so any advice at this point could possibly save me from a health downgrade Lol.

After seeing some of these reviews, was hesitant to toss mine up as they really aren't that involved or detailed LOL. BUT, seeing as though that's what the thread is, I'll toss of my (few so far) thin reviews. I've only gotten through a few, but so far, no duds, and some very good. I've editing them into the recipie post..

http://..................../recipe/1312032/Real+Flavors+SC+Multiple+2.5%25+Test

All mixed 3-26-17, steeped at least 2 weeks, 70v/30p, on dual kanthal claptons @ .33ohms on Steam Crave RDTA v.1

Apple Pie SC 2.5% (4-2-17) – After 1 week steep the overall flavor is very good, with strength and sweetness both good. Apple on the inhale and more of a top notch apple pie filling on the exhale, with slight spice. Crust is very low in the mix. May re-try and bump to 3.0% and let steep 2 weeks to see if crust comes out.
Bottom Line: Great apple pie filling, could benefit from more crust.
8/10

RE-TEST Apple Pie SC 2.5% (4-22-17) – After a remix, and a 2+ week steep, not much has changed. Still an overall good apple pie filling. Crust did not increase after the extra week steep. Might not be quite as sharp now. Not fading, just not quite as sharp as before. Still giving it a 8/10.

Pancake SC 2.5% (4-14-17) – WOW, this tastes like Pancakes !!! Lovely buttery, syrupy pancakes. A little sweet, but that’s what happens when you put syrup on them. Very full and nice body. If you want pancakes, this one is for you. 10/10

Oatmeal Cookie SC 2.5% (4-9-17) – After a 2 week steep the overall flavor is quite good. Not sure if @ 2.5% I’m getting a full OMC, but def. sweet, smooth, bakery-ish type flavor. Not bad at all, not stellar @ 2.5% @ 2weeks. Will re-mix at higher rate and re-test later.

Sugar Cookie SC 2.5% (4-11-17) – 2 week steep and this one has a very even, sweet, buttery cookie taste. Maybe hint of vanilla, not sure. Overall very good. Creamy, full, smooth cookie. Could be ADV, might test higher.

Strawberry Milkshake SC 2.5% (4-15-17) – 2 week plus steep, this is a nice strawberry variant. Having not tried the Strawberry yet, can’t compare/contrast to it. Might just be me, but I don’t get much of the milkshake on this one. It’s tasty, but not sure if I could ADV it or not. Could work with other flavorings maybe to increase the “shake” part.
Delicious tasting strawberry, maybe a hint-o-creme’ish. 7/10.

Vanilla Custard SC 2.5% (4-11-17) – 2 week steep and the first take away was more of a vanilla creme, much like the Dunkin Donuts Vanilla Creme donut with the white filling. Maybe even has the white confectioners sugar on top. Very good flavor, not getting much custard, but still very tasty. Probably one of the better vanilla’s out there. Unsure if increasing % or steeping longer would bring out any custard notes. As a custard I give it 6/10, but as a vanilla creme I’d give it 10/10.

French Toast v.1 SC 2.5% (3-27-17) – Knew this was a keeper even after 1 day. After 1 week, no real changes to the flavor, still very good, buttery, cinnamon, maple syrup, with a little egg and bread. Depending on steeping longer, might have to up %, but not with short 1 week steeping.
Bottom Line: GREAT french toast, could benefit little less sweet, more bread/egg.
10/10

French Toast v.2 SC 2.5% (4-18-17) – Over 2 weeks steeped, comparing it to French Toast v.1. First thing I noticed was v.2 had a much more body, with a clear increase in bread/egg, and was less sweet and less maple syrup than v.1. I enjoyed the egg/bread and decreased sweetness, but as others have noted there is a new NOTE in the v.2. At first I smelled the RF SC Nutmeg and it doesn’t seem to be “it”, perhaps a smidge of it, but maybe it’s a clove they’ve added. Not sure if I like it or not, but it’s clearly there. Trying to decide if the added body, increased bread/egg outweighs the added clovey note or not. It’s not totally OFF-putting, but I’m not a fan. They could have left it out, maybe added a touch (slight) of nutmeg and it probably would have been better. IMO v.1 > v.2. This one rates to me @ 7/10.

Brownie SC 2.5% (4-15-17) – OMG, the smell of this is full on brownie, and the vape is pretty darned closed to how it smells. Has a very good chocolatey batter-ish nature to it that really works, with maybe some cocoa, milk chocolate, and a deeper chocolate all in there. I’m not even a brownie fiend, and it’s still good, and that’s saying something.
10/10.

Bread Pudding SC 2.5% (4-20-17) – After 2.5 week steep this one was an overall even, sweet mix. Wasn’t really getting much bread pudding, and no real standout flavors. Hard to nail down what it tastes like. Could have been bread pudding, but not clearly so. Could probably see this as a mixer/base. Doesn’t mean it was bad, but takeaway wasn’t a “OMG, this is bread pudding” is all. As a bread pudding after 2.5 weeks @ 2.5%, would have to go with a 6/10.

Cinnamon Roll SC 2.5% (4-16-17) – This was a strange one @ 2 weeks+. I really wasn’t getting cinnamon roll at all, but it was almost like apple fritter, where the apple was backed down to just below identifiable. I love cinn. roll, but this one just didn’t seem close to me, and the cinn. wasn’t really there, or I just couldn’t pick up on it. Upon initial loading of the steam crave, I thought I might have tasted a cinnamon hot, but it never showed up again. Maybe just a different take on cinnamon roll maybe ?? As a cinnamon roll, have to go low @ 3/10.

Blackberry SC 2.5% (4-15-17) – After a 2 week steep this one was interesting, not in a good or bad way, just interesting. It didn’t taste like Blackberry to me, and my first thought was Snozzberry, or Jelloberry. Not sure why. Nice and sweet and berry-like, just no berry I could identify. Could be added as a berry mix maybe, but for a blackberry, going 2/10.

Blueberry SC 2.5% (4-16-17) – 2 weeks + steep and there is only ONE thing to say about this flavor. FRESH BLUEBERRY !!! This one is probably the best blueberry I’ve ever had, and I’ve been a dyed in the wool Blueberry Wild user forever. Nice, full and sweet in the inhale, and then you get both barrels loaded with blueberry on the exhale. Not getting anything fake, or candy-like, just nice sweet blueberry. Must give 10/10.

Graham Cracker SC 2.5% (4-16-17) – I’m going to quote another reviewer as saying, “Top Shelf Graham Cracker”. WOW, this one is good. Have been using Cap GC v.2 forever, and this one’s a different take on it. Very good body, mouthfeel, and full graham. Not getting cinnamon, very slight spicyness (very slight), but still there. Could this improve after more steeping ?? Pretty damn good @ 2 weeks. Have to go 10/10 on this one.

Bavarian Cream SC 2.5% (4-17-17) – 2+ weeks steeped, this is an intersting flavor. My current fav. is TPA BC for comparison. The RFSC is a very nice, and even cream with some bavarian, nowhere near as potent as the TPA. Very good none the less, and more subtle with the bavarian, with a smooth creaminess in the front. Tested @ 2.5%, might try higher to see if it brings out the bavarian portion. Overall, a very good cream with some Bavarian. Going with a 8/10 @ 2.5%.

Strawberry SC 2.5% (4-17-17) – 2+ weeks steeped, and this is a very good strawberry. I’m a huge Strawberry Ripe fan, and am trying to decide if it bumps it out of 2nd place or not, tough call. Might not be quite as good as INA Shisha SB, but it’s in between Shisha and Ripe for sure. @ 2.5% it was very full, strong, and tasty. Doesn’t have the “ripe” of SB Ripe, but it’s got something extra in there, Pectin, Jam ?? Not sure. No clue on how/if it fades with time, but IMO as a SB giving it a 9/10.

Peach SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks steeped and this one is a very fullfilling vape. Strength, sweetness, fullness all very good. To my broken down olfactory senses I’m not truly getting a Peach, it’s more of a fruit-ish pie filling. Smelling it I think it has more Peach, but vaping it just seems like a good fruit pie filling. My current fav. peach is TPA Juicy Peach and although mixing it @ higher percentages, is SMACKS you with a Peach brick to the face. This one is just seemingly more of a nice fruit-ish pie filling. Might even resemble apple to some degree. Sure to be a solid mixer, but as a stand alone Peach, giving it a 6/10.

Rice Crispy Treats SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks of HARD waiting to test this one, as I love RCT’s. Smelled it while filling tank, and it smelled GOOD !!! Been clouding with it for 10 minutes and it is another very good, even mix from RF. I cannot detect individual components i.e. marshmallow, butter, rice crispies, but it is just a very good blend of all of them as far as I can tell. Buttery sweet on the inhale with perhaps some mallow and maybe a smidge of rice crispy on the exhale. What would I add (if anything) maybe a more pronounced butter and rice crispy, but even that might not need to happen. Very solid 9/10 for this one. WILL be finishing the tester tank on this one.

Deep Fried Spongecake SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks+ steep @ 40w. on the SC RDTA v.1 this one really tastes good. I had assumed would just be some vanilla variant, but it actually tastes like a Twinkie, … errrrr, ummmm, Spongecake. Was actually surprised by this, and am not sure how they did it, but I’ll take it. I don’t think I’m getting much deep fried, but that is OK by me, because the Twinkie really shines, tastes accurate, and mouthfeel is very good. Nice twinkie vape. Smells, tastes, and room notes all the same. VERY tasty. Typically I rate per the name, and although this doesn’t give me any deep fried, the accuracy of the Twinkie forces me to go with a 10/10 JUST for the twinkie. Twinkie/spongecake lovers rejoice, it is here !!

Guava SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – After 2 weeks of waiting to try this one proved to be worth the wait. Although I don’t vape many fruit flavors, this one was really good. Testing it as a single flavor didn’t find it overpowering @ 2.5%, but it was strong, full, and tasty. I think fidalgo or fozzy compared it to a nice Guava drink you might get at a Mexican store/rest. and that about nails it. Very good, accurate, and tasty !!! 9/10.

Pumpkin Pie SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – After 2 weeks was looking forward to this as I love PP. This was a strange one for me. Sometimes when testing you immediately get first impression that sticks, and it did here. My first reaction was thin. Fresh cotton, coils, saturated wicks, check check check. It just seemed really thin, not weak per se, but a thin feeling/tasting mix. It smelled more like PP than it tasted. Some spices, maybe a hint of pumkin, but no real creamy, thick pie, and not sure on the crust. Higher % help ?? Not sure. As it stands as a single flavor @ 2.5% as a PP, I’m forced to go with a 3/10.

Butter Toffee SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – 2 week+ steep and this one smelled very good. DISCLAIMER !!! – I have been spoiled thanks to @alisa and her wicked Flavor West ways i.e. Butter Pecan so ths BT has a lot to live up to. The smell was spot on, the vape, not so much so. Not bad, but the total of the smell didn’t translate to the vape. Very nice overall blending with a buttery, sweet overall with maybe a hint of toffee. Hard to verbalize, but if it vaped like it smelled, it’d be a 10/10. Would have preferred more toffee in the mix, and it has great potential as a mixer/base. As a standalone @ 2.5% will leave it @ 6.5/10.

Rice Pudding SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – 2 weeks steeping and ready to roll. As others have mentioned it’s not as strong of a flavor as others, but overall very tasty. I don’t know HOW in the hell you’d make a flavor taste like rice, and I didn’t get much of it in this mix. It was almost like a lighter, sweet milky pudding but without the rice. Very good mix as a whole, nothing overpowering, sweetness good, and even mix, just missing some rice. Giving this one a 7.5/10.

Lemon Cookie SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – After 2 weeks this one resolved to be a DELICIOUSLY light lemon cookie. Don’t get the buttery taste you’d expect in a sugar cookie, but a light lemon cookie. Light doesn’t mean it isn’t a nice and full vape, because it is, just not a in your face cookie, but a very good one. Lemon is very good and in the front with a tart sweetness, and it’s followed up by delicious cookie on the exhale. I think I’ve grown accustomed to one of my fav’s, Dinner Lady Lemon Tart, which is a much heavier mix, this is more subtle, and surprisingly good at it. 9.5/10.

Meringue SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – 2 weeks of steeping to see if it could topple my current go to FA Meringue. This was a good meringue. Subtle, sweet, and delicious. Don’t think it has the same fullness or mouthfeel to FA, but still pretty good. Can’t comment on it’s mixing ability yet, and most often is used as a mixer, and it’s hard to get excited over meringue. At 2.5% it seems like it would fit the bill as a mixer. Nothing off putting, or off notes in this one, so a good meringue it is. Shooting a 8.0/10, maybe just because it’s not up to FA meringue standards.

Coffee SC 2.5% (5-5-17) – 2+ weeks of waiting to see if this could be the second ever coffee vape, I could actually vape. NEVER had any coffee luck, except for FA Coffee Espresso. I can’t say that I really got any coffee from this. Tried and tried, inhale, exhale, trying to find something coffee and couldn’t. Sweet, maybe slight creamy on inhale, something, with a little bite on the exhale, but just couldn’t make it coffee. Wife tried it, no coffee for her either, she thought French Toast-ish ?? Sorry coffee lovers, an interesting flavor, but not my cup. Sadly lowering it to 2/10.

Brown Sugar SC 2.5% (5-5-17) – 2 weeks of waiting to see HOW good it could be. Realizing it is one of the stronger flavors, it was very good at this level. Strong, full, and delicious. A very good backstrap molasses brown sugar. It isn’t a molasses flavor, but it’s in there, and implied because of the very full flavor. Sweet and full on the inhale, and brown sugar on the exhale. Surely could be used less than 2.5%, but if you like a good full brown sugar, 2.5% won’t do you wrong. This is simply a 9.5/10.

Peanut Butter SC 2.5% (5-5-17) – 2 weeks steeping, artificial fake tasting like so many others, or a natural tasting authentic PB ?? The latter. This is a very natural tasting peanut butter. Not overly dark or toasted, but a sweeter, creamier medium peanut blend. Not a hint of artificial or fake tastes to this nose. To me, was very similar to a Payday candy bar, with very little of the nougatt. Not a lighter overly creamy, and too sweet like small PB crackers. Having been turned off by most other PB, this was a very welcome change. Just sweet enough, maybe a hint of salty, and creamy goodness. 9/10.

S’mores SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – 2 weeks of waiting for my FAV. ejuice flavor. I AM a S’mores junkie/Connoisseur which means no one is harder on a S’mores flavor than me, or pickier, so take this into account. I had just had my high hopes dashed with FLV S’mores as (usual) there was an off putting note in it. The RF SC however did NOT dash my high hopes, and was a very GOOD S’mores flavor. I never got any individual notes/flavors, but a very good blending. The choco had NO (that ain’t easy) off putting/chemical notes at all. @Skullblade789 has been helping me narrow down my obsession, but as far as an all in one S’mores flavor, it’s the best I’ve tried, and I’ve tried most of them. Probably never find a perfect one, but this is an easy 9.5/10.

Vanilla Ice Cream SC 2.5% (5-6-17) 2 weeks of rest for this one revealed a pretty good ice cream. Have had not great luck with some of the other brand’s VIC, and this one will end up near the top of them. Finger test, it’s ice cream, vape, sweet and creamy on the inhale, and ice cream on the exhale. There’s something that lingers on the tongue afterwards, not sure what. Not getting any “malted” in there, so it’s not a super “thick” feeling flavor, and mouthfeel is 75% of expected. I think in the end, it’s a good Vanilla Ice Cream, with maybe just not enough of the thickness that I would have wanted. Very good, and feel good leaving it at 8/10.

Beaver Tail Limited Edition SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – Didn’t know what to expect after 2 weeks, and the description sounded really good. After testing it a bit, it seemed more of a fruit-ish blend with other unknown flavors. It didn’t really take me where the description should have. Not terrible, just not as note worthy as I had hoped. Have never had a beaver tail, so hard to come up with a number for this, but will leave it at 4.5/10.

Cinnamon Custard SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – Hard to wait 2 weeks on this one, as I really liked the Vanilla Custard, and was anxious to see how they’d pair it with some cinnamon. They actually did a VERY good job. Very tasty to say the least. Sweet and rich on the inhale, and cinnamon custard on the exhale. I had thought the the Vanilla Custard was more of a lighter vanilla creme, and less custard, and this one, still not as custardly as many of us diketone junkies might want, but surprisingly this mix feels/tastes a bit “fuller” than the straight VC. Cinnamon was on point, and the mix was full, tasty, and left me wanting more. I gave the VC a 6/10, and now, I feel safe giving this an easy 8.5/10.

Fruit Danish SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – I looooove my danish (bakeries in general) and had a hard time waiting 2 weeks. Initially it just tasted like some mixed fruit, but now it’s tasting like more danish-ish. Can’t tell what fruit, but feels like a mix. You can taste both on the inhale, and a smidge more danish on the exhale. Danish still isn’t heavy, but it’s in the mix. Because of the lighter danish (can you really ever have enough ?), feels right at 7/10.

Chocolate Milkshake SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – 2 week steep and this one smelled great in the bottle. Testing it immediately revealed a perfume note and wasn’t able to test much of it. Somewhat of a choco milkshake, with a very prominent perfume taste. Was not very strong, so my gut is NOT telling me this was too high of a % in causing the perfume taste but will re-test @ lower %, but @ 2.5% and 2 weeks this was a non starter for me @ 1/10.

Deep Fried Cookies and Cream SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – 2 weeks + steeping and this one was ready to go. Yummy yummy in mah tummy !!! All I have to say on this one is O-R-E-O !!! Rich and delicious on the inhale and exhale which increases the experience. Exhale boosts some sweet and the chocolate. Had none of the off notes in the Chocolate Milkshake (slated for re-mixing), and to me, this was a dead accurate oreo cookie. As with the deep fried twinkies, not getting a whole lot of deep fryin’, but who cares, you gotta cookie in a pipe !!! 10/10 without hesitation.

Cake Batter SC 2.5% (5-7-17) – 2 weeks + waiting for this one. Have tried a few CB’s and many had some aftertastes, but NOT this one. I like stronger flavors, and although @ 2.5% it was VERY good, I couldn’t help but wonder if @ 3.0-3.5% it might just get better. Not weak by any means, but it was soo good, just wanted more more MORE. Taste, vape, and room note identical, everything was on point. Rich battery on the inhale with even more and some vanilla-ish batter on the exhale. Couldn’t find any faults, wouldn’t change anything, which says something. If you need some cake batter in your day, this will bring it, and if you want to boost .5%, don’t think it’ll hurt. Very good. 9.5/10.

Shortbread Cookie SC 2.5% (5-13-17) – 2 weeks of waiting revealed a very good cookie. It’s not overpowering @ 2.5% and could probably go a smidge higher. It’s not dry like FA Cookie, but a very good full shortbread cookie taste. Not yeast or biscuit here, yet a good cookie, none the less. As a single flavor it feels very solid @ 8.5/10.

Root beer Old Fashioned Style SC 2.5% (5-13-17) – 2 weeks of resting before testing this one. Was hesitant to buy this, as I have never craved vaping Root beer, and didn’t want that to color the review, but tried it any way. As far as a vape goes, it’s a VERY good root beer. This being the “old fashioned” I think it is very spot on and clearly has the old fashioned edge to it. Very dark-ish and “rooty” to me. Not sure where I would use it personally, probably a root beer float for sure. Haven’t tried the other root beer from RF yet, but this one, is dead on for what it claims to be. Not to sweet, very flavorful, with an old fashioned kick. For you root beer heads 9/10 on this one.

Molasses SC 2.5% (5-13-17) – At 2 weeks, I knew I was going into this one heavy @ 2.5%. It is very good @ 2.5%, but for mixing you’d have to cut it back a bit. This would be my first molasses vape, so nothing to compare it to, but it is a def. mid to mid dark molasses flavor. Very full, not too sweet, and very true to it’s name. Could be a tad bitter on the finish due to the strength of my mix, but nothing off putting whatsoever. Similar to RF SC Brown Sugar, but missing the punchy sugar/flavor notes of it as expected. This one is very nice. 9.5/10.

Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA SC 2.5% (5-14-17) – 2 weeks of waiting because I am a cereal Connoisseur. The only thing I’m harder on than a cereal mix is a S’mores mix, so it’s GOT to be good. This one gave me an immediate feeling from the first vape, as some flavors do. Great BASE for a fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA mix. This doesn’t mean it’s bad, or flawed, but was lacking some of the sweet fruity high notes, and graininess low end that I like from all of my cereals. Very even tempered, no pungent, flace slapping lemon pledge like so many other COPYRIGHTDMCA mixes, but a good cereal/COPYRIGHTDMCA base with some milky undertones. IMHO this one could get you about 80% there in a final mix only needing some fruity sweet punches on top with some grainy low end notes for a fabulous Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA mix. My take on this AS a Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA all in one would be 7/10.

Cream SC 2.5% (5-19-17) – 2 week steep on this scary, dark flavor. Don’t let the dark color scare you off of this one. It is a hard one to explain as a single flavor. It IS creamy-ish, but it doesn’t seem like a cream outright. Somewhat sweet, and creamy, but the out of the gate response isn’t a dairy cream. Def. would have to be used in a mix setting to add/mold a base. Realizing no one really vapes a straight “cream” flavor, hard to put a value on this one. Sweet-ish, creamy-ish base builder. Purely as a stand alone would have to go 5/10 for no clear dairy notes.

Raspberry SC 2.5% (5-19-17) – 2 weeks steeping to dare to try another Raspberry as I’ve had quite a few that always had some perfumey/chemically aftertaste. This one SHOCKED me, as there were NONE of them present. The first few initial vapes I swore I could taste the little seeds. WOW, don’t get that often. It became less prominent throughout the tank, but interesting none the less. Tastes very ripe, but not too ripe, sweet, but not too sweet, and just plain good. Might not quite have the KICK that INW Raspberry has, but not bad as some people find that off putting. Simply a very good, natural tasting tart/sweet raspberry. 9/10 because it might need a booster punch.

Mixed Berries SC 2.5% (5-19-17) – 2 week steep, and having some
mixed results with the RF SC fruits thus far, wasn’t sure how this would fare. My fears quickly turned to joy as THIS one, is a one and done favorite now. First thing that came to mind was Koolaid. Not sure why, but it’s probably because it’s a great, somewhat sweet fruit medley. Nothing overpowering, everything natural tasting with no off notes or flavors. This will be a very good summer, fruity vape for quite a few people, and quite frankly it’s great as a single flavor. Sure, sure, everyone’s different, and maybe you could drop a little cherry in here to make it pop a bit, or possibly some citrus, but right outta the bottle (2 week steep that is), it’s damned good, and can’t find a fault with it. Clearly a 9.5/10 win for this one.

Sweet Potato SC 2.5% (5-20-17) – 2 weeks of waiting for my FIRST Sweet Potato vape, never had one before. @ 2.5% probably NOT one of their stronger flavors. At first I was hard pressed to get any sweet potato from it. It’s a nice sweet, slightly darker flavor on the inhale, and there IS some SP on the exhale. I feel it could use more of the SP for sure. Not terrible by any means, but it’s just not as forward as many of their others. Still vaping it trying to decide how to explain it, and it’s really not bad, just needs some intensity. Of course the first thing that comes to mind is Sweet Potato Pie !!! and this would def. MIX into that, just need to boost it up somewhat. Having never had a SP flavor, hard to figure out a rating for this one. Going to leave this one @ 6.5/10.

Milk SC 2.5% (5-21-17) – 2 weeks of steeping and wondering about this one. HOW would it fare ? Like TPA Dairy ?? More like RF SC Condensed Milk ?? It feels right in the middle. Slightly sweet, good mouthfeel with some milk-ish elements. Who vapes a milk flavor, right ? Nothing off putting, and somewhat laid back with nothing being forward in this flavor. Not a heavy cream flavor, and it’s clear how this is/was/would be used in mixes like Milkshakes, or anything requiring milky undertones with some increased mouthfeel. NOT as in your face as TPA Dairy/Milk, more subtle, but very useable. Having never vaped a milk as single flavor, found it very good, so much so, finished off the tester bottle. Feels like a good subtle, non overpowering milk-ish mixer without any of the harsh, in your face of some other milk flavors. 9/10.

Melon Melody SC @ 2.5% (6-2-17) – 2 weeks steeping to see if a Melon joy could be brought. Long ago watched a random Phil Busardo video review on a setup wherein he was using a Cucumber Melon from CravinVapes and he really seemed to like it. I got some, and was blown away. Have NOT been able to reproduce that vape, so I’m ALWAYS on the lookout for another great melon vape. This one didn’t let me down. Chain vaping it to see if I can nail down exactly WHICH melons are in it. Def. getting some honeydew melon, with maybe some watermelon, and maybe another. Evenly mixed, no one star of the show here. Sweetness is good, and mouthfeel albeit not a cream, is about what you’d expect for a fruity/melon vape. Sweet melon on the inhale, and more of the same on the exhale, with MAYBE a pinch of rind. No chemical/artificial notes that I could pick up on, and it feels very well blended and even. Very good summertime vape, or as break from my normal heavier creameries. I think as it’s billed as a “melody” of melons, can easily go with a 8.5/10 on this one.

Aged Bourbon Creme 2.5% (6-2-17) – 2 weeks of waiting to see if vaping bourbon was my thing or not, never vaped bourbon before. As it turns out, bourbon vapes are NOT my thing hehe, BUT, this is one HELL of a good vape. Besides the fact that I’d rather drink it (hehe), this is a very good, full vape. Smelling it I think the creme was in the front, but vaping it, the Bourbon clearly was the top note. On the inhale I got more creme then the bourbon but on the exhale the bourbon kicked into first place. Probably sounds strange that I don’t seem to like bourbon in a vape, yet describe this as an OUTSTANDING flavor, but you gotta be fair. Not overpowering at all, VERY good ratio/mix of bourbon to creme, great mouthfeel, and to me, you are left with a lovely lingering taste of bourbon in your mouth afterwards. Not sure which part is supposed to be “aged” but it just, damn, works !!! Wow, how do I rate something NOT in my wheelhouse, yet is OUTSTANDING !!! ?? I would encourage other liquor vape experts to chime in, as I am clearly not, but this one (takes another vape), is about 100% what it says it is. I can’t vote any less, than a 9.8/10 on this one. .2 off because liquor vapes confuse me LOL. If you like bourbon, I don’t think you can go wrong with this one.

Mocha SC @ 2.5% (6-2-17) – Because I am a heavy cappuccino, espresso, mocha drinker, ANY coffee type drink is going to have a hard time going to impress me. Waited 2 weeks on this one, and had no clue what it had in store for me, as I didn’t really get much coffee from the RF SC Coffee (tested @ 2.5% and after many recommendations re-mixed, will re-test @ 1.5%). First impressions are sometimes THE impressions you are left with, and same here. I didn’t really get any “mocha” from this one. When I think Mocha, I’m thinking a rich chocolate/cocoa with strong coffee or espresso and some cream. Please take my coffee-snob-ed-ness into consideration on this review. Oddly enough, this didn’t make this a BAD flavor, it was actually pretty good, just couldn’t nail down what the hell it was. Sweet, creamy, with some other unidentifiable flavors thrown in. A very full, nice vape, just not what I think of as a Mocha, and didn’t really get any chocolate notes from it. I’ve tasted enough of the RF SC’s now, where I could detect some of the other flavorings present in this (as flavorists often do), maybe the coffee, maybe the condensed milk, maybe others. Guess I’m 0 for 2 regarding the RF SC Coffee type flavors. Again, please try this, and YOU review it, maybe you can decide what it is, but I can’t. Very good overall package, just not a Mocha package to me. This will be hard to quantify with a numerical value as it is a pretty good flavor, but when vaping and comparing to it’s name, I can’t go higher than a 3/10 strictly as a Mocha. Every one can’t be a winner I guess, but you try, and you decide.

Blueberry Lemonade Slushe SC @ 2.5% (6-2-17) – Waited 2 weeks pondering, wondering to myself, who in the hell puts blueberries in lemonade ?? THIS GUY !!! For clarity, I already vaped the RF SC Blueberry and it was mind blowing so I kinda knew what to expect. This one is a 2 week steeper keeper. I’ll have to check and see if RF has a lemonade and could experiment more with other fruits, but this one, doesn’t need any help at all. Very good AND even blueberry and lemonade. I forget who makes the current best lemonade (FlavorWest ??) but this ones pretty darn good. Some sweet, a little tart, nice even lemon with NO “pledge”-iness at all. Tastes pretty natural to me, and the blueberry seamlessly blends in. Not on the top or the side, but all around it. Like a lemonade wrapped up in a nice blueberry blanket. This is a very nice summer vape. Clean, sweet, but not too sweet, sharp enough to keep you interested, and encased in blueberry just in case you get bored. My ADV’s are typically heavier, creamier, custards, bakeries, etc., so I don’t typically vape lemonades, but I could see myself starting to do that now, and that IS saying something. True to the name, nothing off putting, very well crafted IMO. If you like BB and you like Lemonade, I think this will be a 10/10 for you.

Strawberry Rhubarb SC @ 2.5% (6-3-17) – Trying to remember years ago the last SR pie I had while waiting 2 weeks for this one to test. I loved the RF SC SB so wasn’t sure how much different this one would be. Initially vaping this proved it to be another very good flavor. Strawberry is in the front of the mix but with something extra. I had feared it would be just like the SB, but it’s def. different, and in a good way. Like the SB, some sweet, a little tart (not much) and with the rhubarb added in, you can def. think of eating a SR pie (no crust just the filling). I’ve not tried the SC Rhubarb yet, but from this mix, I’m guessing it’s going to be good. @ 2.5% it’s quite good, and doesn’t leave you wanting. As with most SB, can’t add anything regarding it’s fading or lack thereof, but as a single flavor @ 2.5% @ 2 weeks, I can’t find fault with it. 9.5/10.

Here we have a lot of 5 old mods that will bring you back in times or introduce you to old school vaping. Oh yeah.

1x Smok CubeII 160W few hairline scratches (looks way worse in pics than real life)but those were the days complete in OG box

1xSmoktech Zmax complete in OG box with batt extender (18650 or twin 18350s) of those were the days of the Zmax vs Provari ECF feuds...they were fierce and hilarious while the elitists GG fanbois were in the background shorting their batts but laugh at us mortal ploebes

1xArctic Dolphin ADT50 complete in OG box, single 18650 display on the bottom awesome spider logo on a gunmetal chrome paintjob...little blemish on the batt door panel but mint besides that.

1xGreenLeaf Pioneer4you IPV2S in silver, batt door modded from screws to magnets complete in OG box and wrapping

1xSMY 60w mint condition single 18650 (non-TC) complete with travel case (I used it for other mods but cleaned it best I could)

All 5 for $50 +$5 shipping (symbolic, will prolly cost me 3x that amount)

All testing will be done on Steam Crave RDTA v1. using dual kanthal coils, cotton, @ 35-40w. All flavors (unless noted) tested @ 6%, steeped minimum of 1 week (subject to change). Mixed @ 70v/30p, and evaluated for single flavor only. Fresh cotton and dry burned coils before all tests.



**N.Y. Cheesecake (PUR) 6% (7-22-17)** -- Over a weeks steep to see if this would be a cheesecake I could actually vape. In a word, YES !!! Mirroring what @Mystic_Rose said this one IS a very unique cheesecake, and not really like any other manufacturer. Very nice and creamy, and great crust with cheesecake without any of the footy-ness our sourness found in most others. After 1 week 3 days, seemed like an even mix of crust and cheesecake, may try later and test past 2 weeks to see if it changes. Not bad at all throughout my testing. Very recommended @ **10/10**.

**Cheesecake Graham Crust (PUR) 6% (7-23-17)** -- This one clearly is a close cousin of PUR N.Y. Cheesecake. It is a very good, full, sweet graham cracker crust, but with a hint of PUR Cheesecake. The two are almost identical to one another with exception of the percentages, i.e. N.Y. Cheesecake is 75% cheesecake, and 25% graham crust, and this one is 75% graham crust, and 25% cheesecake. Missing a smidge of body from my fav. TPA, but good none the less, and it's dik. free. Don't get any cinnamon notes, or off putting flavors and it's very satisfying. Don't think it will kick my TPA graham crust off it's perch, but still very tasty. Because TPA holds the high spot for me, I feel comfortable tagging this with **8.5/10**.

**Watermelon (PUR) 6% (7-21-17)** -- After a week+ steep on this one was a very good watermelon. Nothing artificial or fake tasting. I do think it leans towards the candy side, but not in a bad way, and it might even elevate it some. Probably one of the better watermelons I've tried. Not sure if going past 6% would increase it or not. @ 6% pretty damned good. **9.5/10** on this one for me.

**Condensed Milk (PUR) 6% (7-29-17)** -- 1 week 2 day steep for this one. Overall this was a very good CM. All the elements were there, with just the right amount of sweetness not as to overpower the mix. Can def. see this being a good mixer. As a SF test, and not expecting it to be a loud flavor, this one fit right in @ **7.5/10**.

**Cream Dream (NR) 6% (7-29-17)** -- This one went through some changes during it's 1 week + steep. Every once in awhile there was a strange off note, perhaps part of the creamy element, other times it would fade. Vaping it revealed a creamy/berry mix. Overall mix was quite good, nice mouthfeel, but the unknown element showed back up. Perhaps some will NOT find it off putting. Although I finished the tester that "note" didn't enhance the flavor for me, which leaves me sticking this one at **3/10**.

**Strawberry Biscuit (NR) 6% (7-16-17)** -- Very first Purilum flavor tested. This one caught me off guard on the first vape with it's very good strawberry and some biscuit and maybe a little butter thrown in. Didn't get any artificial notes from it, and nothing off putting could be found. Strawberry is sweet, assuming a jam, it works pretty good here. Biscuit/butter is also very on point, weaker than the strawberry, but still there enough to be known. Overall for the name, it's about **9.5/10** for a spot on SB.

**Cookie (PUR) 6% (8-6-17)** -- 2 weeks of steeping revealed this one to be an interesting flavor. Wasn't what I was expecting. Not like CAP Sugar Cookie, or FA Cookie, but biscotti like ? Not sure. Leaned more towards the FA Cookie while being somewhat drier but sweet. On the exhale it really didn't kick in the buttery cookie-ness that I was expecting. Plenty strong and even @ 6%. Not getting a lot of butter in it (which is what I typically want with a cookie). Perhaps this is just a different type of cookie. For me (big CAP Sugar Cookie fan) it wasn't what I wanted in a cookie. Something on the exhale that I wasn't a fan of, the sweetener maybe ? Maybe for layering cookie bases perhaps. Feeling O.K. @ **3.5/10** for this.

**Boysenberry Preserves (PUR) 6% (8-7-17)** -- 2 weeks steep, and this one nailed it RIGHT out of the gate. This one really hit all the main points, boysenberry, sweetness, tartness, preserves, check. Not sure how you go about adding the preserve-ish'ness to a flavor, but they did it. @ 6%, strength and sweetness were both on point, and continued vaping left me struggling to find any faults with this one, and cannot. Did make me want to mix up some more with some biscuit adds to see where that went. If you like a moderately sweet, tart boysenberry flavor with a side of "preserves" this one WILL do it for you. **10/10**.

**Nilla Wafer with Milk (PUR) 6% (8-7-17)** -- 2 weeks of waiting because I love nilla wafers. Sadly don't think I'll even be finishing the 3ml tester tank of this one. I have no clue what this is. Almost like an odd sugar cookie with some other strange notes maybe ? If I focus VERY hard, maybe I can make out an attempt at nilla wafers, but it's just not there for me. Maybe getting some kind of condensed milk in there, but hard to tell as this is a hodgepodge of "not so good" for me. Maybe it'll work for you, but for me, it was a waste of cotton. **1.5/10**.

**Strawberry Marshmallow Cereal (PUR) 6% (8-7-17)** -- Having grown up with Frankenberry cereal had a hard time waiting 2 weeks for this one, as it smelled very promising in the bottle. After waiting, was pleasantly surprised to find this was almost exactly Frankenberry cereal. For those that don't know, it was an artificially flavored strawberry marshmallow cereal. Don't get any "cereal" notes, but that's just fine as the strawberry marshmallow and a hint of milk/creme are all over this mix. Even mix, sweetness is good, and the strawberry w./ a smidge of milk is all very good. Now typically when I hear "artificial" I run for the door. It's NOT in a bad way in this one, and works perfectly. It's so good to my palate that I cannot go less than **10/10**.

**Lucky Lephrecan (PUR) 6% (8-9-17)** -- 2 week steep to see if this would be any different than the other "Lucky Charms" cereals I've tried. Basically, it was right about the rest. Not terrible, not great, just average. Some are all punchy high notes, some are all low grainy notes, but I've never found one that does it all. This one's in the ballpark, and surely could be a starting point for a lucky charms mix, but it just seems to be missing something, maybe the high end punch, not sure. Great cereal base with sweetness and some mallow. It seems to have nailed the cereal part pretty good, some grains but not overly so, the the really sweet marshmallow high end punch is missing. Not bad at all, just not IT. Because I've never found a single SF cereal flavor that did everything right, hard to fault this more than the others. Leveraging it @ **6.5/10**.

**Butter Pecan (PUR) 6% (8-12-17)** -- 2 week steep just to see how it would hold up against FW BP. Overall the mix was very even, but simply just average. Not terrible, not great, just average. Maybe use as a layering profile, but don't think it could carry BC on it's own. Middle of the road, puts it in as a **5/10**.

**Vanilla Custard (PUR) 6% (8-13-17)** -- 2 week steep to see if I could add this to my VC obsession list. After 2 weeks @ 6% this one was like a Custard Brick To the FACE !!!! Sadly NOT in a good way. I'm a VC junkie, so I do not say this lightly. NOW, I will re-test it lower than 6% to rule out too heavy of a mix. It seemed like that could be possible here, it was an overwhelmingly cloying tankful with my tester. VERY eggy/eggish much like INW VC but stronger egg. Even though eggy'ness isn't my thing, it wouldn't have made this a deal breaker. Had an almost harsh aftertaste on the exhale. It was very sweet/strong @ 6%, like a stronger eggy'ier cousin to the INW. Because of the very sweet, heavy eggy, strange note on exhale wasn't able to finish the 3ml tester on this one. Not a good score for me @ 6%. I have to go **2/10**, but will RE-test at a lower rate and add that to this review.

**Bavarian Cream (PUR) 6% (8-20-17)** -- Waited 2+ weeks to see how this would taste, and I'm a huge BC fan. My current go to is TPA. Smelled ok on the sniff, but vaping it revealed even LESS for me. Kind of a mish-mosh, bland-ish flavor with no real stand out notes for me, especially anything bavarian. Doesn't mean it's terrible, just means it's NOT a BC for me. About the same inhale/exhale, and no exciting things showed up during the test to speak of. Nothing off-putting, just nothing really BC. Going to go with a low **1.5/10** on this one for me.

**Banana (PUR) 6% (8-21-17)** -- 2+ weeks steep. I've not had great luck with bananas so wasn't expecting much here. First things first, not too bad at all. Vaping while typing, leaves me unclear on exactly how the "real banana" vs. "candy banana" split is. It seems like both, but almost an even 50/50 split. Not too much of one or the other. Very full @ 6%, pushing from just sweet enough to MAYBE a tad heavy, but not in a bad way. Unsure how it would mix, but as a SF test, I'm actually pretty surprised. Not bad at all. Some fresh banana with some candied "runt like" notes to it. I think because it's not one OR the other fresh vs. candy, it could be more versatile. Solidly placing this at a **9/10**.

**Cereal (PUR) 6% (8-22-17)** -- 2+ weeks steep. Cereals can be hard to explain, and this is one of them. Almost reminds me of a fairly sweet version of the grainy pieces in a Lucky Charms box, without the marshmallows. On the inhale the sweetness is very present without a lot of cereal or grain, on the exhale the ceral/grain steps up, but only a bit, with the sweetness still being the dominant aspect. Continued vaping reveals that there is not much "grain" in this cereal. Might just be too sweet, but that's a personal thing. I personally prefer more grain, but not overpowering grain/cereal in my cereals. TPA Lucky Lephrechaun comes to mind. Overall the mix was fairly even, but for the rather sweet aspect. Because of my grainy/cereal needs, this one sits at a **6/10**.

**Raspberry (PUR) 6% (8-30-17)** -- 2+ weeks steep on this the LAST PUR flavor in this test run. I think the BEST thing about this one, was it didn't taste artificial, and didn't have any chemical notes. It was an ok RB, but very laid back. Some sweet, a little tart on the inhale, some more sweet and tart with some raspberry on the exhale. Wasn't wowed by it overall, despite it being an ok RB. Lacked most of the punch that I want in a fruit, and a RB in particular. May re-test to see if increasing it makes a difference. Good flavor, too subtle @ 6%. Hard to to number it as the flavor wasn't bad, just the quantity of it. Leaving it @ **6/10**.

2-HCigar Towis Aurora takes 20700/18650 in black in OG box, 1 spare bottle included (not OG, it just fits)

3-Sigelei Fuchai in gold complete in OG box, dont recall even using it (or maybe once or twice to try it) takes 20700/21700

All 3 for $75 shipped or each for $30 shipped

Time to take a look at the Geekvape S100 Kit which was sent to me by my friends over at Sourcemore for the purposes of the review.

As a long time fan of another mod from another brand that will remain nameless i am really into rugged type of mods.

I like the weight and i like the way they feel in my hands and if you're clumsy as i am you can rest assured that even if it drops at the most and maybe depending on the trajectory of the fall you will only damage your atomizer.

Been wanting to review an Aegis product for a long time and finally that day has come.
Enough of my usual long winded intros and let us start with some ''literature'' with some info of this kit in particular.

UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

I like it.

That's it,done with the review.

Just kidding

Ok seriously,the box comes with a sleeve and when you open the box there is one thing i noticed,there is a small padding in the inside of the top of the box that i just pulled off.

Small detail but it shows they take care in presenting the product in a in a professional manner, which to me is an important thing.

Do not be fooled by the size of the mod,this is one tough little vaping apparatus,having the mod in my hand feels good,nice spongy grip on the side where your fingers go and it just feels right.

The mod was in perfect shape,no dings,sign of fingerprints on the chrome on the side or the base of the mod where the 510 pin is...same for the the atomizer itself which was clean as a whistle.

VAPING TIME:

As usual and something i have done with all my reviews is i use my trusty ol' Juggerknot Mini as a baseline when it comes to trying an atomizer.

If my coil is old i will replace along with a fresh wick only after i have cleaned my RTA,then i will fill both atomizers with the same e-liquid (Aroma is Shiva from A&L,base is70% VG / 30% PG
and nic strength at 3mg)

Popped in a new battery in the mod,primed the coil and put it in the atomizer and i let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

I decided to start with the preinstalled Z Series 0.2ohm Coil (70-80W).

Always recommended to start at a lower wattage and then after some quick puffs increase the wattage little by little.

Started at 30 watts and little by little i stopped at 45 watts...and DANG!!! that is some good chunky flavor right there.

I am not a ''hot'' vaper so this right here in the 45 watt to 48 watt was my sweet spot,fiddled a bit with the airflow and left it half open.

Once i broke in the coil i did bump it up to 70 watts just to see how it would perform and yeah that was some mighty power,to hot for me thou so after a couple of puffs i went down to 45 watts.

Good solid coil with good flavor,used this coil for about 3 days then i had to switch to the spare coil,the Z Series 0.25ohm (45-57W).

Yep much better,now this is more of my ballpark.
Broke in the coil and settled in at 40 watts,any lower and i could taste a loss in flavor not much but it was noticeable.

Couple of notes about the atomizer:

-Some folks have had a problem while refilling the tank,take off the cap and the airflow rings also pops up in their hands,so far i haven't had that issue.

-I did get a faulty coil in the box,this was the spare Z Series 0.25ohm Coil.
I was getting spitback,odd whistle like noise and it just didn't feel right.
Took me about 30 minutes to figure out it was the coil,took apart the atomizer and made sure all the o-rings were in their place and that all components of the atomizer were correctly assembled...after that it still felt the same.
Only constant remaining was that it had to be the coil,lucky enough i had ordered 5 spare coils from a Spanish vape shop so once i put in a new coil all the problems disappeared.

Enough of the atomizer let us move on to the mod.

This is where i have to be honest,let me be clear the mod itself is exceptionally well built and crafted and it's a solid device to carry around that will cover all your vaping needs.

Small gripe i have is with the size of said mod,now this is more of a personal issue but in my hands the device just feels a tad small,doesn't feel right.

Never held in my hands the Aegis Max but i am guessing that model in particular would just feel fine in my hands,again this is just a personal issue due to my abnormally and manly sized hands.

If you're worried about performance this little mod won't disappoint you,used it as my daily mod and without a hitch.

Couple of things to keep in mind thou,if you're using any coil besides the Z Series 0.25ohm you will have to change the battery more than usual,keep in mind it is a 18650 so when using at those high wattages the battery will be drained quickly.

Couple of things that bothered me a bit about the Geekvape S100 mod:

-Small 1 second delay of the screen when pressing the fire button,so you press the fire button and it will fire right away but the screen will take a second to light up.
Just feels weird...was thinking it was maybe my imagination but when put aside with another mod there is a noticeable 1 second delay from the time you press the fire button to when the screen lights up.
Might bother some,might not bother others...to me it felt a tad weird.

-Battery cap feels too rough,takes a bit to get the right angle to screw the battery cap in and you gotta apply some strength when screwing or unscrewing the battery cap.
Other mods feel much smoother but then again this maybe something that is needed for the
IP68 Rating.

PROS:

-Locking switch is a major pro,just a quick slide and you can put the mod in your man purse, satchel or anywhere else without having to worry about it firing.
-Build quality,superb mod that will withstand a date with Andre the Giant.
-Tank has good flavor and cloud production.
-No leaking,none whatsoever this for me is a big pro when it comes to tanks.
-Stylish design.

CONS:

-Battery cap is just too tight for my taste.
-1 second delay for the screen to turn on when you press the fire button.
-Any coil that you use besides the Z Series 0.25ohm Coil will have you changing batteries more often than you would like.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS MOD:

Honestly if you want to vape at high wattage this mod will come in short,not performance wise but in battery life it will require you to change batteries quite often.

If you're using the Z Series 0.25ohm Coil this is a very good mod/tank combo that you can carry around and use as your main vaping device.

As usual here you have a code in case you decide to acquire this kit:

Having heard more and more about this company, and not seeing a lot of detailed information on them, I decided to take some of them on. OSDIY offers both Blends (One-Shots) and Single Flavors, so I decided to do a few of each.

All will be mixed at the listed percentages, and tested on the SteamCrave RDTA v.1 with dual Kanthal, 7 wrap vertical coils, with fresh cotton and dry burned coils in between tests. Will start out with a 1 week steep and see how they fare.

https://..................../recipe/3790092/One+Stop+DIY+Shop+%28OSDIY%29+SFT%2FOne-Shot+Tests



**Single Flavors:**

**Baked Cinnamon Roll (OSDIY) 8% (11-13-20)** -- Whew, this is a single flavor ?? !!!! POW !!!!! This one, felt like it SHOULD have been a One-Shot. Completely finished, well rounded, and RIGHT what it said, it was. If you've used Flavor West's Cinnamon Roll, or CAP's Cinnamon Danish Swirl, you NEED to try this one. Leaves both of them IN the dust, and I'm still trying to figure out why. Immediately upon vaping it, I knew it was very unique, and different. Was it the cinna, the roll, or both ? I think probably both. The cinnamon was perfectly suited for a cinna roll, and did indeed remind me of the type you'd get in a can of pop open cinna rolls from the store. Somehow OSDIY was able to almost capture the sugar crystals in it too. The roll was super accurate, and I don't remember ever tasting this "bakery" note before. It almost reminded me of how accurate LA's Cream Cheese Icing was. Combining the two, really just knocked it out of the park. @8% it was plenty present, and could even be lowered, and probably wouldn't suffer much. Some buttery elements could be found in there, but they were not the main focus. Sweetness was about mid level, and the accuracy and overall presentation could not be ignored. No sour or metallic notes in the cinna, no overly yeasty notes in the roll, just plain simple, and good. Thus far, I can safely say if you like Cinnamon Rolls, and aren't super thrilled with the ones on your rack now, pick this one up. **9.9/10**.


**Wild CherryLicious (OSDIY) 4% (11-13-20)** -- Some of the more recent Cherries I've tested have been very good, and it seems (finally) flavor companies are starting to get it right. As a single flavor from OSDIY this one was also on the right track. At 4%, nothing off-putting, floral, soapy, or medicinal, so those are great hurdles to clear. It favored an artificial cherry but had some authentic notes in there as well. It appeared to be a Mara/Black Cherry mix, and leaned towards the brighter high end, with some mid notes. Despite emptying an entire tank of it, I couldn't find any faults with it, and at 4% it was fairly full, but overall the flavor felt thin. It wasn't that it was bad, just felt as if it was missing some body overall. I'm not sure if boosting it would improve that or not, and it MIGHT be able to carry all of the cherry weight in a mix, but could probably use some help. Slightly tart on the finish, and mid level sweet, it was a pretty good solo vape. Only minor take-offs for lacking some fullness and body, but don't let that stop you from trying it out. Felt rock solid @ **9/10**.

**Blends / One-Shots:**

**Blue Note (OSDIY) 10% (11-13-20)** -- As this one was steeping, I thought of a juice I bought WAY back in the beginning of time from Mt. Baker Vapor, Blue Moo. I think it was supposed to be Blueberries and Cream, but it was more like plastic (no offense to MBV, they helped a LOT of vapers get vaping, along with Johnson Creek, and others). GREAT news is, Blue Note did NOT taste like plastic !!!!! It presented as a damned tasty Blueberries and Cream. Now I had thought about NOT saying that, as that was overly simple, and this "blend" was more than that. I was getting at least two BB's, a darker, and a brighter, and the creams which were slightly sweetened riding throughout the ride. No BA or sour in these creams, just a good slightly sweet sled for the BB's to ride on. At 10% this felt really good, and it could probably be even used higher or lower. I wouldn't call it an "in your face" flavor at 10%, but plenty present. I knew I liked it when the first tester tank ran dry, and I still hadn't written the review yet LOL. Finishing the second tank, and the review by calling this one a BB and C, but more than that, and in a very addictive way. Handily a **9.2/10**.

**Butterscotch Malt (OSDIY) 10% (11-13-20)** -- First one on deck for this new flavor brand for me, was the BS Malt blend (aka One Shot). I wasn't sure what to expect with these "blends", and this first one, did impress. It was indeed a full, rich, and tasty butterscotch, but with something more. The "malt" was clearly present, but not in an overwhelming way. The interesting thing was, I wasn't getting exactly a malted milk, or a malted shake per se, but it still did convey that somehow. A rather interesting addition, and hard to fully quantify or explain, but, it worked really good here. The BS was nice and full at 10%, rich, with some buttery-ness to it, and sweetness was almost mid level. The malt was really the bermuda triangle in this one, and at times it felt almost creamy, other times almost bakery-ish, and it really DID make for an interesting vape. Being new to OSDIY, and having only tested one "blend" thus far, I assume they are meant to be stand alone "One Shots" and if so, this one could indeed stand on it's own. Clearly you could mix with it as well, and I think the really uniqueness of the Malt would allow for some interestingly new mixes. Couldn't find any take offs, and the malt continued to be a happy mystery from the beginning of the tank, to the end. Pretty impressive first blend for me, and hopefully sets the tone for the rest of the blends on deck for testing. You can always tell when you like a tester, when you all of a sudden realize the tanks empty !!! Starting out these testers, this one felt really good at a high **9.3/10**.

**Choco-Yum Cake (OSDIY) 10% (11-20-20)** -- If a delicious chocolate cake was easy, EVERYONE would be doing it !!! Sadly that is NOT the case. OSDIY stepped up however, and did this one some real justice with their Choco-Yum Cake. The chocolate defied an absolute classification, as it wasn't a Milk Chocolate, or a Dark Chocolate, but somewhere in between, but leaned darker more than lighter. It was perfectly suited, and balanced for a cake profile. The cake itself was also somewhat of a mystery, as it had def. cake elements, but almost cupcake elements in there as well. Although not clearly identifiable, there was some creaminess in the mix, which could have just as easily been whipped cream thrown in for good measure. @ 10%, it was a satisfying mix, and I decided to toss back a full tank before collecting my thoughts. No off-putting notes, and with a mid level sweetness, it was smooth and tasty on the palate. You could surely ADV this as is, as it really didn't feel lacking. The choco to cake ratio was perfect for me with somewhat of a 35% choco 65% cake which allowed both to play their parts, without being overwhelmed. The cake leaned towards a yellow, but not a pure yellow, and the cupcake elements I was picking up, worked perfectly to boost the cake profile. In total, this was a very tasty, convincing Chocolate blended with an equally convincing cake, that paired together nicely, and didn't leave you wanting. **9.75/10**.

**Lotta Latte (OSDIY) 10% (11-14-20)** -- With this one being one of the more used, and known flavors from OSDIY, I was curious to see how it fared. I could tell from the first vape, why that was the case. Very rich and delicious caramel, and creamy mix with a darker coffee bean carrier. The coffee notes were very good, leaned darker, but with none of the bitterness or acidity that sometimes accompanies them. Espresso ?? Italian Roast ?? It didn't really favor any particular one, but the end result was a good, darker, roasted bean coffee that although fairly present in the mix, never overwhelmed it. The caramel and cream notes as well, never left your palate when vaping, but perfectly sat in the mix. Sweetness was a tick above mid level, and that suited this flavor. OSDIY was able to temper any (if any) rough edges of the darker bean roast with the caramel and cream, as finishing more than one tank led to no distress LOL. I've had some issues in the past with FA's delicious Espresso, which was great, but rougher on the palate. All in, this one was a fairly complex darker roasted coffee, with a smart caramel pairing, and soothing creameries all in the mix. Even after two tester tanks, couldn't find a fault with it. Pushing it up to a **9.85/10**.

**Lucky Shot (OSDIY) 10% (11-20-20)** -- This flavor being one of the three last in this series, I decided to let steep an extra week, as I could tell they were more complex, and/or tobacco (i.e. the RJ4). As expected, this one presented as much more of a complex arrangement. I read some of the reviews, looked at how it was being used, but found almost NO mention of a particular note that I was picking up, so maybe, just maybe, this review will break new ground here. It did present as a "bakery" of sorts, and the main elements were Graham, Vanilla, Caramel, and Cream, but the secret here, is a Bourbon, and I assume a Bourbon Cream. THAT, is what I didn't really see mentioned anywhere else. The more I vaped it, the more I knew, there WAS Bourbon Cream in there !!! As a whole, it was very good, smartly thought out, and executed. The strongest notes, were the Graham, Bourbon Cream, and maybe the Caramel. Even with those three, it was a tasty pairing with the subtle notes, just adding to it. I found the Graham to be most present on the inhale, and the Bourbon the most on the exhale. It stayed very interesting throughout the tank, and I can see why it's one of the more popular flavors from OSDIY. Could surely stand on it's own, or easily be used in countless basses and push/pulled from there. None of the profiles overwhelmed the mix, and it felt good at 10%. Sweetness was mid-level, maybe a tick lower, and nothing stood out as not belonging here. All in, even though I'm not a HUGE Bourbon fan, it's uniqueness and tasty-ness could not be ignored. Solid at a **9.5/10**.

**RJ4 (OSDIY) 10% (11-20-20)** -- Last one on deck !!!! Despite NOT using a lot of RY4's in my day to day, I do enjoy them, so this RJ4 raised my curiosity. J ?? While an oversimplification, this one was like an excellent RY4 with a double dose of rich, buttery, caramel. I mean basically, that's IT. Rich, buttery, caramel were the main top notes, with some lower end RY4 notes. To my tastes, any bacco notes were much lower in the mix, and not being a huge bacco fan, that suited my palate, but if you are a bacco craver, be advised, this favors the caramel. Very rich and full at this weight, and in no way pushing the ceiling. Making it through an entire tester affirmed that you COULD indeed solo this one. Sweetness was about mid level, and it was not fatiguing. Finishing out my first series with OSDIY, this one ended it with a bang, as the utter rich, caramel-y-ness of this one, could not be overstated, and it was delish. If you love a good caramel, you will love this one. Good thing for me, I love Caramels !!!! No takedowns for lower bacco notes, as it was not billed at an RY. Feels delicious at **9.8/10**.

**Mexican Fried Ice Cream (OSDIY) 10% (11-14-20)** -- Every time I've eaten MFIC, it's always got an almost indescribable aspect to it, but you know it once you've had it. So, DID OSDIY manage to capture that mystical thing ?? Most times MFIC is a scoop of VIC, rolled in cinnamon sugar, then rolled in corn flakes, and fried. Smelling this one, you can almost pick out those exact ingredients, and it carried over to the vape. At 10% it was nice and full, and the medley was delicious. Not blurry, but delicious. A nice Vanilla Cream, with some bakery, and a little cinnamon on the top. Just the way it's supposed to be. If you're a cinna hater, fear not, it's not overpowering, just "in there". I blew through an entire tank before I knew it, and found nothing that didn't belong. Sweetness was about mid level, and it was indeed a keeper, and could be vaped as it, with nothing else needed. I can't remember craving a MFIC, but now that I've had a great one, I am LOL. Handily @ **9.5/10**.
