Thanks again @Bob_.....en


**French Toast (OOO) 5% (8-20-17)** -- 2 weeks + of steeping waiting patiently to see if this could be the French Toast I was looking for, as I am a junkie, and have heard MUCH about OOO. Quite sadly this was NOT a good flavor for me. With all the 5 star reviews on OOO site, I was shocked. I had no idea what was in store for me, and this one just seemed a hodge podge of burnt mess. Very strange, and burnt tasting with little to no reference to any FT's I've had before. I actually _had such a **negative experience**, dumped the tank, and loaded up a 5 month old tester from RF SC and got my French Toast on._ **1/10**.

**Pancake (OOO) 5% (8-25-17)** -- 2 weeks + steep to see if this could beat the hands down best Pancake from Real Flavors SC line. For me, it was almost as bad as the French Toast (OOO). Could be me, but didn't really get a lot of pancake from this, and it had the same off putting note I got from the French Toast on the exhale. The flavor wasn't as BAD as the FT, but not sure what that's saying. An even mix, sweetness was ok, but I struggled to get a pancake from it. The one note I did pick up was almost a condensed milk on the exhale. With this and the French Toast, I'm 0/2 for OOO at this point. Looking for better next. Have to put this at **2/10**.

**Tapioca Pudding (OOO) 5% (8-27-16)** -- 2 weeks + steep, fresh coils and cotton for this new round of OOO tests. I love tapioca pudding so OOO had their work cut out for them. Out of the gate, it's an evenly mixed vanilla-ish "something" flavor. Not too sweet, not heavy handed, and there IS a secondary note. Chain vaping (as of this writing) has me curious WHAT that note is. Maybe a pudding element, but I had to work to get it. Honestly after testing numerous vanilla's, not really sure what the "pudding" element is, but if it's here, it's barely here. Now that doesn't make it a bad flavor, maybe just not enough pudding for me. Creamy, little sweet, some vanilla on the inhale, and all of the same, plus the "element" on the exhale. I think it leans more towards an attempt at tapioca than a pudding element. Overall, not a bad taste, but just lacking the pudding PUNCH. Don't feel bad leaving this at **7/10**.

**Banana Cream Pie (OOO) 5% (8-27-17)** -- Over 2 weeks steeping to see if this could approach my fav. TPA Banana Creme. I don't think that this one does that. Not a bad banana, and creme, but not getting the pie crust, and when compared directly to TPA, it's lacking. Doesn't have the banana and creme PUNCH that the TPA does. With that said, not bad overall, very even, and sweetness is on point. Just seems like a weaker version of the TPA without any real KICK. **6/10**.

**Strawberry Sour Belts (OOO) 5% (8-27-17)** -- 2 weeks + of waiting, I mean who doesn't like SSB ?? Smelled great in the bottle, and as steeping. My initial thought was "Wow, this is about 50% of what I wanted". All the elements were present, SB, sweetness, sour, and a hint of gummy, but it just made me immediately want to Re-mix it @ 10%. I'm not sure if that will work or not, but re-mix I will. Great mix overall, and somehow OOO seemed to capture the granular sour sugar on the candies, THAT, they got 100% right. What to do, what to do... It really tastes good, BUT it screams for TWICE as much. I'll go **7/10** on this mix @ 5%, and re-test higher.

**Honeydew Melon (OOO) 5% (9-17-17)** -- Having been hooked on a cucumber melon mix before was anxious to try this one out. This one did impart most of the honeydew you want in a flavor. Just sweet enough, lots of body, and fullness. Maybe not the BEST honeydew, but good none the less. No perfume, or off notes, and strength was great @ 5%. See no reason not to go **8.5/10** on this one.

**Banana Milkshake (OOO) 5% (9-17-17)** -- I've not had ANY good luck with "Milkshake" SF's, and was HOPING this one, would do it. While this flavor was not off putting in any way, and delivered a kinda creamy, sweetish overall taste, I couldn't get any banana or milkshake from it. Vaping it while typing, reveals no hint of either. Had the wife try to make sure I wasn't flavor fatigued, she couldn't get either, as well. Smelling it, there is something that comes across, maybe a mix of something LIKE condensed milk with a hint of malted maybe ?? Could get used into a base mix of some sort, but just can't rate it higher than **3/10** for it's name.

**Cream (Milky Undertones) PG (OOO) 5% (2-10-18)** -- Having read many great reviews for this, and having used it in mixes, was expecting a lot for a SF test. It was full and semi-rich at 5%, and somewhat sweet. What surprised me was the lack of overwhelming creaminess and/or mouthfeel. I mean it was good, but it didn't convey an obvious cream like TPA Sweet Cream, or CAP Sweet Cream. Again, wasn't bad, having only used it in mixes, and never as an SF, I would have expected it to be a bit creamier. I will continue to use it as a mixer, but surprisingly enough to me, as a SF, would have to go **6/10**.

**Sugar Cone (OOO) 5% (9-17-17)** -- Having never had a sugar cone flavor before, didn't know what to expect. At 5% the overall mix was good and it did taste like it's name, but was somewhat light. Perhaps expecting TOO much from a SF, not sure. Nothing off putting, and didn't get an overloading cinnamon, but really a light, tasty version of a waffle cone. Could be a bit stronger IMO, but as tested, a good **8/10**.

**Bread Pudding (OOO) 5% (9-16-17)** – Having NOT had great luck with BP’s in general, didn’t have high expectations for this one. Smelled great in the bottle, and vaping it continued that trend, to a degree. At times, kept getting an almost metallic off putting note ?? Not sure, as it came and went during my 3ml tester. Overall, I wouldn’t call it a stand out, but more of a middle of the road flavor. Got most of the major notes right, but overall was too laid back for me, and the metallic note, didn’t improve it. For me, would leave it at a **5/10** mixer.

**Strawberry Cotton Candy (OOO) 7% (2-10-18)** – 1st tester of round 2 !!! Having ordered a SB sampler pack looking forward to seeing how OOO SB’s are different. At 7%, 2 week steep this one was a VERY fulfilling SB vape. Somewhat candy’ish, slightly artificial (not in a bad way), with a def. fullness to the back note. To me it seemed more of a SB Jam, than a cotton candy, but delicious it is. Great mouthfeel and very full @ 7%. Sweet, with some slight tartness on the exhale. The difficulty with this one, will be deciding on a rating. A GREAT SB vape, but does it convey Cotton Candy ?? As a strict SB Cotton Candy would go with a **6/10**, but as a SB Jam’ish/Shake’ish it would be a **10/10**. Def. a keeper.

**Vanilla Cupcake (OOO) 7% (2-10-18)** -- I love VCC so I am ready to see what this is after 2 weeks. Very nice and full vape @ 7%, and Vanilla is very present but not overpowering. As far as the cupcake portion, just not really getting any. What I am getting however is almost some sort of a tea note. Not a green tea, but almost a black tea note, with a hint of Nutmeg maybe ? Very strange and odd. Offputting ?? Not really, but it leaves it's presence on the exhale, where there should be a solid cupcake. Maybe as a sort of Vanilla Chai spiced flavor maybe ?? Quite interesting, and not really cupcake-ish for me. Loving the vanilla portion, but as a VCC would have to go low @ **2/10**.

**Strawberry Cheesecake (OOO) 7% (2-10-18)** – Although I mixed up the (OOO) Cheesecake, had been afraid to test it, some stinky cheese scents from that, so I was a little reluctant to try this one, but I did. This one DID have that smell when smelling the mix, but not so much when vaping it. SB is on point, sweet with a little tart, but this one does reveal a somewhat creamy body to it. Not getting any graham or crust from it, and no off putting cheesey notes, but just an overall semi creaminess to the body/exhale. It def. gets the point across, but with lower than expected cheesecake/crust. Overall, would leave this at **6.5/10**.

**Cake Batter (OOO) 7% (2-10-18)** -- Not having any CB in the arsenal I liked, was looking to finally get one. @7% this was very full, rich, some sweet, and grain. Yes grain. Almost like a hint of cheerios. Bad thing ? Not really, worked very well. It did have some CAP CB elements, but not as overpowering or heavy. CAP CB I can't even vape, but this one I can. Overall, very good, cake batter with a grain element. Solid @ **7/10**.

**50/50 Strawberry Ice Cream Bar (OOO) 7% (2-10-18)** -- This one nailed it OUT of the gate @ 7%. The SB was on point, and the Ice Cream was right there in the mix too. 50/50 is about right. Even pairing of both of them with neither leading. Now I don't think the Ice Cream will come up to the level of LB VIC, but it's good none the less in this mix. With such an even pairing with nothing off-putting or overshadowing the two, will have to go with **9/10** easy on this one.

**Lemon Pound Cake (OOO) 7% (2-10-18)** -- Out of the gate WOW !!!!!! Talk about an all in one SF, this is one of them. Lemon, sweet, tart, and cake ALL there, no fuss no muss. This one was very good, full, and complete as is. Surprisingly close to Dinner Lady Lemon Tart minus some of the lemon tart, and more cake. Going to finish this tester for sure. **10/10** without hesitation.

**Happy Rancher (Strawberry) (OOO) 7% (2-11-18)** -- Working through the SB pack, moved onto this one. It had the SB notes I've grown used to from OOO, and it had a nice candy base in the mix. The SB was more laid back than some of the OOO SB's but the candy base element picked up the slack. Perhaps a hint of sour, but overall a good, full mix. Perhaps not my personal fav. but for it's name, it was a good **8.5/10**.

**Tiramisu (OOO) 7% (2-11-18)** -- Who vapes Tiramisu @ 7% as a SF ??? This guy. OK, as a SF this one was not a great vape, but dammit, it had EVERY single element you want in a Tiramisu. Cake, coffee, brandy, chocolate !!!!! It's all in there. I believe this is one of those times wherein just because you don't enjoy a flavor as a SF, doesn't mean it's not great. Wouldn't do it as a stand alone, but man, what you could do with this in a mixing setting is powerful. **9.5/10**.

**Strawberry Souffle (OOO) 7% (2-11-18)** -- Clearly OOO has the SB down pat, and this one was no different. Great SB flavor, but the "souffle" just wasn't working for me. You're mileage will vary, so you should try but it had a rather off taste to it. You can tell where they were trying to go with it, but something just wasn't right with the souffle for me. Leaving it a **3/10**.

**Cinnamon Roll (OOO) 7% (2-11-18)** -- WOW. Outta the gate WOW. 4 vapes and I can already write a review for this one. GREAT !!!! Talk about capturing a Cinnabon, this is it. And surprisingly NOT overly sweet. Might even benefit from a little sweetener. Smelling the bottle revealed an interesting choice of cinnamon. Very nice and full on the inhale, with the breadiness, and cinnamon sugar on the exhale. Might use a lil butter, but with no dik's not sure how they'd do that. If you like cinnabons you'll love this. **10/10**.

**Strawberry Candy Rocks (Fizz) (OOO) 7% (2-11-18)** -- This one I didn't know what to expect, and it turned out to be pretty good. The tried and true OOO SB with a much lighter finish. It's almost as if they threw in some champagne or white grape (it doesn't taste like either, but for an idea of how it tastes). Lighter, slightly sweeter SB. It did have a lingering taste in the mouth, probably from the addons to the SB. Overall, not bad, and placing it squarely at a **8/10**.

**Apple Granny Smith (OOO) 7% (2-11-18)** -- This was a good granny smith apple vape. Plenty of green apple, medium sweetness, and some tart thrown in for good measure. Inhale/exhale about the same, although it got somewhat thin on the exhale. Seemed to be rather one dimensional at times, but nothing off putting. Due to the lack of depth, would leave it at **6.5/10**..

**Strawberry (Ripe) (OOO) 7% (2-18-18)** -- It's no secret that OOO has their SB's down pat. This seems to be their great, baseline SB. Somewhat sweet, a hint of tart, and loaded with a great SB. Does have a touch of ripe to it, and as with most of OOO's SB's it has a jam quality to it, so not a pure-ist's SB Ripe, but very good. As a "just strawberry" would easily go 10/10, but as a "ripe" would have to pull back to an **8.5/10** because of the jammy quality to it. WILL finish the tester on this one.

**Cornbread (OOO) 7% (2-23-18)** -- I don't do a ton of Corn mixes, and have occasionally went to heavy with AP and been abused with los fritos, so I was curious and reluctant to try this one. WOW, was I wrong. This one at 7% was not overpowering at all (might even try it at 10%), had a very nice "shade" of corn, with some sweet, buttery-ness, and a hint of creaminess. WOW. Not at all what I was fearful of. Very nice cornbread. Can't find anything wrong with this one, and am trying to to think up some good uses for this little gem. If you want a cornbread, this one will do it for you. **10/10**.

**Strawberry Shortcake (OOO) 7% (2-23-18)** -- Yet another SB variant from OOO to test. This one deviated from many of my previous (OOO) SB's and had a much lighter, somewhat sweeter finish. I think they did a perfect job of capturing the strawberry glaze/drizzle that you find in many shortcakes. The shortcake was there, but lower in the mix. I could stand for it to be 25% stronger. There is almost a lower creamy note in there as well, which helps to tie it all together. If they'd boosted the shortcake note I'd have to go with a 10/10, but because it was lower in the mix, can only lower it to **9/10**.

**Apple Pie (Cinnamon) (OOO) 7% (2-23-18)** -- My favorites in the Apple Pie arena are FA Apple Pie, and FLV Apple Pie Filling for perspective. This one didn't really impart any pie to me, but quite a bit of apple. The cinnamon rather eluded me as well, although I swore it was in there. The apple(s) were quite bright, almost too bright for a pie, much like Fuji. I did keep getting some sort of another note, maybe a spice of some kind, but couldn't identify it. Because of the true lack of pie and crust, almost strange-ish apple(s), and missing cinnamon, really not a fan of this one. The mystery note on exhale is rather strange as well, almost wintergreen-ish maybe ?? I can't go higher than **2.5/10** on this one.

**Strawberry (Fresh) (OOO) 7% (2-23-18)** -- Having loved the OOO Strawberry (Ripe) was interested to see the difference in this one in comparison. As expected the SB was very good, full, sweet, and tasty. How it differed from the Ripe was subtle yet noticeable. This didn't quite have the sharp punch that the Ripe had, but it did indeed have more of a freshness to it. More of a full mid body to it with almost an organic feel to it. My personal preference would be the Ripe over this, but that's only a matter of preference. By combining the two, should prove to be a very interesting overall mix. This is even in overall taste to the Ripe, so it is solid at a **8.5/10**.

**Rhubarb Crisp (OOO) 7% (2-24-18)** -- Not really sure what a Rhubarb Crisp is, but this one wasn't half bad. Even mix, slightly tart, some rhubarb, and some pastry notes finishing it off. @ 7% it seemed to leave me wanting more, perhaps 10%. Nothing off putting, nothing over the top great, but a decent, well balanced vape. **6.5/10**.

**Strawberry Kiwi (OOO) 7% (2-24-18)** -- Rounding out the last SB in my OOO SB Sampler, this one proved to again, be another great SB flavor. The Kiwi was in there, but not overpowering with hints of it on both the inhale and exhale. As expected the overall mix / taste was brighter with the kiwi added in. Nice, light, sweet, tart with a great blending of the two. Easily **8.5/10**.

**Blueberry Cheesecake (OOO) 7% (2-28-28)** -- One of my ADV's is a BC so I know what's required. Much like OOO's SB Cheesecake, I didn't really get much if any cheesecake or graham crust. Lot's of blueberry with some maybe creamy middle tones, but the overwhelming profile was just blueberry. A good blueberry, but really missing out on the cheesecake part. Similarly rated to the SBCC, this one is a tad lower @ **6/10**.

**Cake (Yellow) (OOO) 7% (2-28-18)** -- I think the reigning YC champ at this point is FW's so OOO has it's work cut out. Vaping @ 7% this was a very nice, full, somewhat sweet vape. It had the undertones of a yellow cake, but it felt like it was missing a lot of the body and cakey-ness. Not sure if this would be enough to add to a mix soley to bring YC to the table, but could def. be used in a base for it. Would def. need some help. Nice and rich, but just missing out on the key notes. Leaving this @ **7/10**.

**Beignets (OOO) 7% (3-10-18)** -- I have never HAD a beignet, but NOW, I wish I had. Didn't know what to expect, but at 7% this one REALLY hit it out of the park. VERY nice, even, full bakery with subtle, yet very present other notes. Some sweet creaminess, but a definite bakery note to this. Despite not being able to identify the supporting elements, I did have the overwhelming urge to add a splash of raspberry to this. When I remix I def. will do that, as it seems to scream for it. **10/10** with no hesitation.

**Key Lime Pie (OOO) 7% (3-11-18)** -- A big fan of KLP, so waited an extra week to steep then try this one. Overall, it had many of the elements of a KLP, but it seemed to fall short. Not bad, but not stellar. Not so great as a SF, but could be worked into a base/mix. Lime was present but not overpowering with a nice sharpness to it, some hints of meringue and crust, but only hints. Seemed like if you boosted the sweetness a hair, added some crust, it might start looking better. As it stands, **6.5/10**.

**Whipped Cream (OOO) 7% (3-17-18)** -- Extra steep time on this one, and it turned into a deliciously light, whipped cream. Was evenly mixed, with not overly heavy cream elements or sweetness, but just enough of each. Somewhat light at 7%, but it didn't take away from it in as a SF. Don't think it would be a stand alone, but can see this mixing quite nicely in quite a few mixes. Stands nicely at **8.5/10**.

**Blow Popsicle (OOO) 7% (3-18-18)** -- This one smelled great in the bottle, and had a hard time waiting for it to steep 2 weeks. Vaping it, it seemed to loose something. The blue (rasp) element seemed heavier than the others. Def. had a popsicle overall feel to it, but it seemed that it got somewhat lost in translation. In the ball park, but wouldn't call it great. **6/10**.

**Elephant Ears (OOO) 7% (3-18-18)** -- Having tried a similar titled flavor from a competitor that didn't WOW me, didn't have high hopes here. It kind of surprised me, as the overall mix did convey EE. @ 7% it did seem somewhat lacking, maybe even thinner than expected. Because it had all the right elements, and nothing off putting, it's in the right direction. Seemed to be just more of a middle of the road sweetened bakery more than anything else. Maybe expecting too much @ 7%, but leaving this @ **6.5/10**.

**Chocolate Peanut Cup (OOO) 7% (3-18-18)** -- Anything chocolate is hard to get right, so wanted to see how OOO did it. Smelled great in the bottle, and vaping it, that continued. Chocolate notes were there without being overpowering, and the nut part of the peanut butter was there too. Almost more of a nuttyness than peanut butter, but there were hints of it. Very evenly blended, sweetness and smooth were on point. Realizing dik free flavors have their work cut out for them, and this one didn't prove to do it bad at all. Nicely done @ **8/10**.

**Cream Soda (OOO) 7% (3-22-18)** -- I'm NOT a huge fan of Cream Soda, but decided to give this a try anyway. Smelled great (very close) in the bottle, but upon the first vape, I knew it wasn't for me. Please try this yourself and decide, but for me, there was a powerful off note that threw it over the edge for me. Maybe champagne, or an attempt at carbonation/fizz, it overpowered the Cream Soda notes for me. You could detect them in the background, but were easily overpowered by the additional notes. Won't be finishing this tester. Can't go above **2/10**.

**Bubble Gum (OOO) 7% (3-22-18)** -- Another first for me, never tried a BG vape before. Smelled great in the bottle, and vaped fairly similarly. Good sweetness like you would expect, but def. not a sugar lips effect here, not overly complex, but a pretty straight forward BG. Seemed more like a Bubbalicious than a Bazooka Joe, maybe a hint of Bubble Yum. Wasn't overly strong at 7%, but it did convey the strong points. Wished it was stronger, and didn't get the sense that increasing the % would boost the flavor. For a first BG flavor, not too shabby. Only marking down for the perceived strength. **6/10**.

**Banana Split (OOO) 7% (3-22-18)** -- I assumed this one would not be good, because of the amount of elements in a BS, but was very surprised. Not a very heavy flavor overall, but still pretty good. The banana, ice cream, whipped cream, and cherry actually all came through on this one. Didn't really get much chocolate from it, but that is almost expected, as it could/would probably run through the mix heavy. Very nice sweetness, and creaminess, with fairly dominant banana (but not overpowering) with a hint of cherry in there. Not really sure how they got this one, but they did a good job. I can almost get a little chocolate on the exhale, but if so, barely. This one actually surprised me. Could almost be a stand alone. Nothing off putting, not sickly sweet, actually, just plain good. Even though it could probably benefit from some boosting here and there, this one, as is, stands at a **9.5/10**.

**Key Lime Pie (OOO) 7% (4-1-18)** -- Due to a testing backlog, this one steeped for over a month before testing. After a month, it faded into a non descript sweetish, somewhat bakery-ish blend. Citrus fade is not unheard of and may have happened with this one. No real lime present, no cracker crust to speak of, maybe the one surviving element could have been the meringue, but even that is questionable. May have to re-test this one with a much shorter steep. As it stands, @7% and steeping for over a month, would have to rate this low @ **2/10**.

**Samoa (OOO) 7% (4-1-18)** -- Curiously when searching the OOO website this flavor is no longer available ?? With that said, it is a shame, because this one really nailed all the elements of the Samoa. Inhale is a nice, thick cookie, and on the exhale the chocolate and coconut step up their game. Everything is in it's place with nothing playing to heavy. For a Dik free flavor, they did a really good job. The coconut is really good, almost candy-like but not overly so, so much that it pairs perfectly with the chocolate. **9.5/10** on this one.
**Sweet Tea (OOO) 7% (4-1-18)** -- Sometimes something is GREAT when you eat or drink it, but when you vape it, you left wondering, "Why ......". This tester revealed the fact that I don't think I like vaping "tea" flavors, BUT, and here's the BIG one, it tastes JUST like Sweat Tea !!!!! It is important (unless an opinion piece) to not color a review by personal tastes, so I will not. My personal preferences aside, this flavor was dead, spot on. Nicely sweet, with an even mix of maybe two tea elements. Neither overpowering, nothing chemically or artificial tasting, but a very natural tasting sweet tea. Smelling it literally smells like you've just brewed a big pot, while it cools off before pouring it over ice. I'd swear you can almost taste the tannin. I think if you're a sweet tea lover, this one will def. work for you. **10/10**.

Testing Ongoing ...........

http://..................../recipe/2317996/One+Drop+Flavors+Multiple+SF+Tests

**Raspberry (ODF) 9% (4-15-18)** -- Sooo many bad raspberries out there, most artificial or chemically offset. This one is NOT one of them. Just as good as the RF SC Raspberry, although a slight bit less intense. Nothing off putting notes, or chemical/artificial tastes, but a slightly subdued natural raspberry. Not overly sweet, with a hint of tart. Sometimes it's easier to say what it's not, than what it is. Not at pungent as INW Raspberry, and not jam like it that helps. I didn't get the bit of seeds that I did with the RF SC version, but very good none the less. Might need a boost if you want to add a little punch or extra tartness. **9/10**.

**Vanilla (ODF) 9% (4-21-18)** -- Now THIS one was starting to taste more like a full on experience @ 9%. With some of the earlier flavors seemingly lacking some punch and fullness, this one was actually much better. Nice even, rounded Vanilla without leaning towards any particular one. Sweetness and creaminess were on deck, and I got a hint of the "malty" note that I also got from the Chocolate and a few others, but it was low in the background. Wasn't a mind blowing as Holy Vanilla, or complex as INW Shisha Vanilla, but good none the less. **7/10**.

**Custard (ODF) 9% (4-15-18)** -- As a custard fiend it's hard to impress me, and realizing ODF flavors are dik free, custards have to be tricky. This is not a VC, and hence just the Custard name. Overall, it's a very even mix with some custard elements. Nicely sweet, and fairly full at 9%. Def. NOT getting an eggy-ness which is good for my tastes. It does seem to share some of the malty notes that I got from the chocolate. It's not an overt Malt flavor, but if you vape the ODF Choco and this, you'll get it. Just an undertone, but it's there. Not sure as a stand alone, but could def. see it as a base mixer. **7/10**.

**Watermelon (ODF) 9% (4-20-18)** -- This one smelled GREAT in the bottle after 2 weeks. It had much more of a kick than the Orange did @ 9%. Somewhat sweet, with some deep WM aspects. It did lean towards candied but not in an off putting way. Like some of the other ODF flavors it felt kind of thin, even @ 9%, and left me wanting more. Tasted like some of the red, with more of the white part of the mellon with some of the rind. Would have loved much more of the RED part. Even, tasty, didn't taste artificial. @ 9% would simply place it at a **6/10**.

**Pineapple (ODF) 9% (4-21-18)** -- I don't have many pineapples to compare this to, but this smelled great out of the bottle. Vaping it proved it to be a weaker, but good pineapple. Got some good sweet pineapple on the inhale, but kind of petered out on the exhale. The room note was very nice, just wish it was as present on the exhale. Chain vaping improved it a little bit. Nothing off putting, nothing artificial, but just needed more presence. **7.5/10**.

**Blue Raspberry (ODF) 9% (4-21-18)** -- Trying to decide if this accurately depicts that blue sweet flavor on snow cones or not. It's in the ball park, but doesn't 100% capture it. Not getting a lot of blue, and the raspberry was kind of so so. As a few of the others did, felt a tad thin @ 9%. Nothing great, nothing terrible, kind of middle of the road sweetened, darkened fruit flavor. **5/10**.

**Chocolate (ODF) 9% (4-15-18)** -- Having tested many of the other RF SC Choclates assumed this would be similar and it was. Not a great stand out chocolate despite elements of it being present. Had almost a malted nature to it, but not overpoweringly so. To me, it wants to be added to a peanut butter to complete it. Def. NOT a dedicated/specific chocolate like TPA DCC, or MF DC, and INW MC. Just more of a malted chocolate mixture. RF SC does some great things with this, but mixed. As a SF Chocolate however, would place it at a **4/10**.

**Grape (ODF) 9% (4-20-18)** -- Much like the RF SC Grape this is a really good grape. Nicely sweet, slight tartness, and although it favored a Concord for me, it did seem like a grape blend. Although sweet-ish, not a jammy flavor. Nothing off putting, nothing artificial, just a good grape. It did appear to have slightly less richness as compared to the RF SC version. Easy **9/10**.

**Strawberry (ODF) 9% (4-15-18)** -- Very similar to the RF SC SB, but this one seemed to miss some of the pizazz or kick that the SC version had, even at 9% this one seemed like it needed a bit more. Good SB, not great, but good. Sweetness and tartness were there, along with a good SB flavor. Wished it had more punch like the SC version. **6.5/10**.

**Caramel (ODF) 9% (4-15-18)** -- With FA Caramel being my go to, ANY caramel has a hard road to walk. This one was NOT up to the level of FA's, and this one was perplexing. One minute it was a caramel, the next not. The room note said caramel, but on the inhale it didn't always. What was it ? It was caramel-ish, with some of the caramelized sugar, but didn't get much of the buttery-ness. This is probably due to the lack of diks. @ 9% I would have hoped for far more caramel. Would work as a general mixer, but not sure it brings caramel to the party, or at least not loud enough. **3.5/10**.

**Orange (ODF) 9% (4-20-18)** -- Having not vaped many Orange flavors, was excited to see what this held in store. After 2 weeks steep not much smell from the bottle which was surprising. Vaping yielded a somewhat sweet, citrus on the inhale, but only a wisp of orange on the exhale. It was almost non existent which is surprising at 9%. Sometimes it tasted almost like the oil from an orange peel when peeling an orange, but not always. Nothing off putting, but not much to carry this over the finish line. Wish it was 3 times stronger. Very light flavor, and I hate to push the rating down, but it really needs much more body. **3/10**.

**Cotton Candy (ODF) 9% (4-15-18)** -- After 2 weeks steep, this one proved to be a rather nondescript sweet-ish flavor. No standout hints of any profile, and to me, did not have the typical EM flavor. Not much of a surprise as no one vapes Cotton Candy as a SF, but is used as an additive/sweetener. With that said, it was not overly sweet, but could be used as an enhancer. **6/10**.

**Banana Milkshake (River Supply) 3% (2-15-20)** -- Having vape RSC's Vanilla Milkshake recently, should be able to contrast this one. This milkshake was thicker, and richer than the Vanilla MS, and had more banana undertones smelling it, than vaping it. Checked/re-checked and this is what I got. Off the bottle, some banana could be picked out, but vaping it, it gets lost. Sweetness was low to mid, and it conveyed a fairly thick, and rich MS, but lacking banana. Banana-ish, but not a firm banana. Would be easy to push it into full Banana mode, but as is, stands more like a rich milkshake (richer/thicker than their vanilla MS). At 3% it was nicely full, not overpowered, but noticeably richer than the VMS. As a straight milkshake I'd go very high, maybe 9.5/10, but strictly as a Banana MS, would have to drop it, but only for the NSM (Not So Much) Banana to **6.5/10**. Don't let the low rating fool you, great MS, just needs some nana help.

**Boysenberry Pie (River Supply) 3% (2-9-20)** -- I would like to dedicate this review to @MysticRose, who's outstanding review style, and delicate note taking compelled me into doing testing myself. So for that Rose, I thank you. We are all fighting for 2nd place behind you. :slight_smile: OK, onto the BEEF. When I vaped this one, I nearly fell over !!!! OK, you're wondering, "Wait, which way will he go "? Well, hehe, WOW, it's a GOOD thing. On literally the FIRST vape, the deep complexity of the Boysenberry immediately overwhelmed me, like I was in a giant Boysenberry sleeping bag. YES, if you can imagine. It's a very delicious, complex, mid to dark berry blend, and frankly, the more I vape it, the more an accurate description of it eludes me. Wow, let's vape on this again ..... Man this is a good Boysen. It presents as a mid to mid higher level sweetened mid-dark berry complex-iture. Yes, I made that word up. Mid to dark berries, with a damn near jammy punch, but only just a bit. With the mid, the dark, and the bright punch it covers the spectrum here. The pie (crust I am assuming) is in there, but fairly laid back, and that is A-O-K with me. This berry blend (boysen they call it) is now a top shelf force to be reckoned with in my book. Wow, because every vape, leads to yet another flavorful explosion of Boysenberry. Talk about an immersive experience, this one is it, AND at the low low low rate of 3%. You wont need to go any higher with this one, and despite being a full in your face boysen, it's not cloying, or artificially heavy in any way. You could boost the crust maybe a smidge, but would you really WANT to ?? **10/10** even with the underpowered pie crust.

**Bread Pudding (River Supply) 3% (3-1-20)** -- Having just tested RSC's Sugar Crunch, this one was very similar, but less pronounced. @ 3% it was very full, and tasty. It did not present as deliciously thick as the Sugar Crunch, but still fared very well. With all the usual suspects present, bread, egg, cream, sugar, with a little spice, which might have been raisins, but unsure. No butter or syrup so this is not a french toaster. I cannot NOT continue to compare this to the Sugar Crunch as they are so similar. A little bit lighter, and with a slight spice, which I kept thinking might be raisins, but it's just outside of being recognized. As a BP this one is quite good, and would only require minor boosting to really make it shine. Nothing off-putting, and was really good at this percentage. Because it didn't have the one-two punch that the Sugar Crunch had, will take it down a notch or so, but even at that, a great one to get and play with. Leaving this at **7.2/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Breakfast Pastry (River Supply) 3% (2-15-20)** -- Getting near the end of batch 1 on these, and Breakfast Pastry is on deck. This one immediately hit me with a nice, even, smooth creamy bakery of sorts, but I couldn't really identify it. Actually pretty good and strong (full) at 3%, but continued vaping just left it fairly blurry. Trying to think back on other BP's that I've tried, and most had more focus. This, although good, and not overly sweet, just came across as a sweet, creamy, bakery-ish vape. Despite repeated vapes, I couldn't clarify it much more than that. Now does blurry nec. mean bad ?? Not always, and it's not a bad vape, just a good UNCLEAR vape if that makes sense. For it's overall good tastes, we'll leave it at **6.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Coconut (River Supply) 3% (3-1-20)** -- Running near the end of this 2nd batch on RSC's flavors had me taking this one on. In a nutshell it was a very nice Coconut, BUT, with an almost astringent like finish note. I don't think this note was caused by overflavoring, but part of the actual compounds themselves. Not sure if it was enough to ruin this one, but it was def. present, at least at 3%. Semi creamy, with mid to low sweetness and a 50/50 mix between artificial / natural on this one. I'd be curious to hear what others think of the astringent off note I was getting on this one. Did not have any heavy, or greasy notes as a few coconuts have. As I had seen mentioned elsewhere, probably NOT the main coconut note you'll want, but could def. use it to add to one. Judiciously placing this one @ **6/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Cola Freeze (River Supply) 3% (2-15-20)** -- Admittedly I'm NOT a fan of cooling, koolada, WS-23, etc. so I was apprehensive to test something with "freeze" in the name. Good news for me, if there's cooking here, it's mild enough and didn't affect my sensitive sensibilities !! This flavor IS a very good cola, AND, for some reason (maybe it's just me) I often got an almost carbonated fizz on the inhale. It abated before the exhale, but quite an interesting effect. The Cola is, well, the main star (go figure), and is very convincingly accurate. Not a Coke, or Pepsi per se, but more of a malt shop cola, which leaned towards an artisan cola rather a mass produced one. Sweetness varied between a mid and mid high level, and never came across as too sweet, which again, was a surprise, and showed they worked on this one a bit. At 3% it was right in the middle of the intensity scale, which would give some flexibility in going lower or higher. All in all, this is a great, convincing Cola, that doesn't fall into a mass produced version, almost gives you some fizz on the inhale, and evens out to a great finish. I don't review a lot of Colas, but maybe I should. Solidly @ **9.8/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________
**Fruit Crunch (River Supply) 3% (3-24-20)** -- This being the LAST one in this long series brings this series to a close. Immediately upon vaping the first thoughts were exactly Fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA and Bergamot. I could def. pick up on the orange and lime elements, but there were more, and they presented as a light fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA. I could almost detect maybe some light marshmallow in there, but was hard to say. At the testing weight, it was overall mid strength, and sweetness was actually fairly low. Realizing the name, there was fruit in there, and the bergamot might have been a bit forward for my tastes. It was an interesting mix of an orangey limey base with some COPYRIGHTDMCA thrown in. With the bergamot being so forward, some work would be required if you wanted to really shift it to a more pure fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA mix. Nothing sharp or bitter in the mix, and it was a refreshingly clean way to end this series. For my tastes, the bergamot was a bit heavy, but maybe that's what a "Fruit Crunch" is ?? **6.5/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Glazed Doughnut (River Supply) 3% (2-13-20)** -- How many times have I tried the doughnuts ? Too many. I have terrible luck with doughnuts, and hoping this would break the cycle. For starters, this one smelled a bit better than it vaped. Doesn't mean it was a bad vape, but there was more of a biscuity finish smelling vs. vaping. Def. was in the ballpark for a doghnut, with nothing greasy or yeasty, and sweetness was actually lower on the scale, which was surprising for a glazed. Very full @ 3%, and didn't feel weak, but it just seemed to fall short of the dough part. Somewhat muddy in the finish, but not enough to sink it. Don't think this is the golden doughnut everyone is looking for, but not terrible either. Solid @ **6/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Golden Eye (River Supply) 3% (2-13-20)** -- Shaken, not stirred ehhh ?? This came across as an interesting mix of a somewhat sweet, punchy mango, with something else mixed in. Maybe a sour-ish mango, not sure. At first I thought it might have been a pinch of lime, but seemed not to be it. At 3% it was fairly full, but leaned towards the lighter side. Sweetness was fairly low, which was a nice surprise. The Mangos came across as mostly natural with an occasional artificial note. Didn't get any other notes from this one, but it worked very well as is. Sweet and punchy Mango with some sour mixed in, that was light enough to vape all day, and full enough to keep you interested. **9/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Granola (River Supply) 3% (3-1-20)** -- What IS Granola ?? Oats, honey, brown sugar, nuts, maybe raisins ?? How does one come up with a Granola flavor ?? Let's see. As a sum of the ingredients, this one did seem to favor a Granola. It can be hard to quantify exactly, but the oats and the brown sugar presented nicely, and although I didn't get any honey, it did work well as it was named. I also couldn't verify any raisin, but it could still be in there, lower in the mix, adding to the overall G. @ 3% it was full and tasty, and I couldn't find any off notes throughout the test. Sweetness was low and that allowed for even more chain vaping (testing) LOL. This one could maybe be boosted with a smidge more of Brown Sugar, and just a TOUCH of Honey, but even as is, very tasty. I can't remember vaping a specific Granola vape, but I've vaped quite a few flavors that had a G in them, and this one would fit the bill, and work nicely doing it. If you are in need of a Granola, this one will probably do it for you. **9.0/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Lemonade (River Supply) 3% (2-15-20)** -- LAST ONE, in this series !! Having just tested River Supply's Lemon Lime Soda, I know this is in there. This is a bit more laid back, maybe a tad cleaner/clearer in it's simplified Lemonade form. @ 3% it was slightly laid back, might be able to go higher, but it didn't leave you wanting even at 3 %. The lemons were full, yet bright, sour yet sweet, which left it as a very juicy, even keeled Lemonade. It tasted more like a natural version with occasional hints of artificial. While there was some tart in here, it wasn't heavy handed, and in comparison it fell right between FLV's and LA's versions. For a nice clean lemonade with punchy lemons, some tart, some sweet, that works @ 3% this one, gets it done. **9.4/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Lemon Lime Soda (River Supply) 3% (2-9-20)** -- Whew, I'm glad @River_Supply_Co recommended this one to me, as this is a little citrusy ...-kicker right here. Woo hoo. Well what the hell is it ? It presents as a perfect pairing of a lemonade, and a soda like Sprite (but not exactly). At 3% this one was right there, in your face with it's citrus one two punch, leaving nothing to the imagination. Both parts are evenly paired with the lemonade taking the lead by a smidge. Sweetness was expectedly higher on the scale falling mid to high. The soda portion is closer to a Sprite than not, and the lemonade is almost a cross between FLV's and LA's. Fairly strong at 3 %, some may want to go lower, but even while strong, there was no indication of upper limit here. Bright, refreshing, sweet, and a citrus one two punch is what this is. **9.2/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Lemon Muffin (River Supply) 3% (2-13-20)** -- Punchy punchy in mah face !!! First thoughts on this were, punchy lemon, is that a smidge of lime anchoring it, and recessed muffin. That's the FIRSTY first things I got from this. The lemon is very good, with punch and sweet, and I'm almost getting a hint of lime firmly anchoring a bit maybe. The muffin is fairly subdued in the mix, which I wish could have been more forward. The lemon was bright, and almost had a lemonade-ish hint to it, but not enough to through it off in pairing to a bakery. Sweetness was mid to high, and my only take off would be for a fairly recessed muffin, wish it was higher in the mix to better round this out. Great lemon, full @ 3%, but missing some muffin leaves it at a respectable **7.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Pineapple Sherbert (River Supply) 3% (2-9-20)** -- Who doesn't love Pineapple Sherbert !!! ?? Kidding, as I've never had any before LOL. What did this one prove to be ?? Well, exactly what it says it was. I nicely bright Pineapple, but clearly much, much more, and damned if it didn't seem almost like a slightly fizzy Sherbert !!! Now maybe it wasn't "fizzy", but the PA was clearly riding on a carrier of a nicely sweet sherbert-ish flavor that just almost had some fizz to it. Most sherberts I've had, have that sort of fizzy high end to them, and I say it that way, because it's more than just being bright. Either way, fizz or no fizz, this one was really good. The bright sherbert carrier was perfect for the also bright pineapple, and they paired nicely with neither really taking center stage (nice). Sweetness was mid-high, but in no way off-putting. At 3% it was nicely there, BUT, might take advantage of an extra % higher. Not overly complex, but very interesting, with both jockeying for the lead position but neither getting there. A lighter, brighter flavor that ran higher on the sweetness scale, but did so tasting good. **9.4.10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Red Sour Cherry (River Supply) 3% (3-1-20)** -- I don't know why it's soo difficult to get a GREAT Cherry vape, but it must be, because I'm scared every time I try a new one LOL. OK, here goes. All in all, this one was NOT poison, soapy, perfumy, or heavily medicinal, which was a huge PLUS already. It presented as a semi sour/sweet, darker cherry. NOW, every once in a while at this percentage, I did get an off note or two, maybe almost medicinal, but it was fleeting. It came and went occasionally, BUT, was not present during the entire vape. I don't think this was evidence of hitting the ceiling on this flavor as it was about mid strength at 3%, and I almost was left wanting MORE Cherry during the testing session. Even with the aforementioned occasional peek-a-boo notes, it stayed fairly consistent, and cherry like throughout the entire tank, and it was fairly laid back (as I would like my cherry), and I wish it was more forward. Not bright, not dark, but leaned dark, and the sweetness being mid to low on the scale, paired up nicely with the sour, as both were lower in the mix, yet equal. As if often the case, this one will require some pushing to get it to go where most will want it to go, but, it can be done. For the occasional medicinal notes, kicking it down a few, and the somewhat laid back mid level intensity of this one. Nice Cherry overall, but as usual, will take some work. **6.5/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Smooth Cream (River Supply) 3% (2-12-20)** -- I hate testing creams, hate it. Why ?? Well, they can be very hard to quantify by themselves, and more easily by their effect on mixes. Some slam you with BA (yuck, i.e. Sweet Creams), others can have an overt malted note, and some taste, like nothing much at all. So testings creams IS hard. OK, where does a "smooth" cream fit in between the Milks, Sweet Creams, and others ?? This one was fairly laid back as a solo. I think RSC was wise to label this as a smooth cream, as it's not a "sweet cream". Many people don't know that Sweet Creams are NOT sweet, but are the absence of any "Sour" notes i.e. Sour Cream. This did not present as a sweet cream, as previously defined. This cream was, well, SMOOTH. Go figure, right ? It had a very nice and creamy mouthfeel, but it was not rich like a custard. It did have a very slight amount of sweetness, but very low on the scale. It did not have any overt milky or dairy notes, yet maintained an overall smooth (sorry), creamy vape from start to finish. My two current go-to's are FA's Cream Fresh, and OOO's Cream (Milky Undertones), and both are used differently. By testing this solo I cannot predict how it would work as a blender, a softener of sharp tones, etc. Actually was a nice vape solo (but who vapes a cream ??), and finished the tank. No sour notes, no Butyric Acid (BA), and was effortlessly light @ 3%, yet full enough so it's presence was known. Hard to find a comparison, but maybe a slightly sweet version of CAP sweet cream would ballpark it for you. All in all, can't find any faults with this one, and will leave this hard to explain gem @ **8.75/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Strawberry Milk (River Supply) 3% (2-9-20)** -- Who doesn't love a good Strawberry Milk ?? Well you might just like this one because it is one. The first thing I look for (avoid) when milking is a heavy malted note, which this one did not have, so that's a plus. Nice and almost rich cream, with nice milky notes help carry this one through. The Strawberry worked perfectly with the Milk elements, and itself was more of a jammed type, like you would get on a sundae. Nice and full @ 3%, with mid to high sweetness, and had nothing off-putting to say. The pairing was even, with the SB coming out on top. Chain vaping it proved, more of the same, and the combo kind of grew on me. Not a shake, but a very good SB Milk, which leaves it pretty high @ **9.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Sugar Crunch (River Supply) 3% (3-1-20)** -- Yummy McYummy on THIS one. Well this one was a nice thick and rich one off the start. Incredibly full @ 3%, with a creamy richness, and a just right amount of sweet. It presented as fairly complex, and wandered around during this tankful. A real medley of things going on here with nothing off putting, harsh, or otherwise detrimental to the experience. At times it leaned towards a french toast-ish, others back to more of a sweet, creamy bread, very interesting. Def. had a fair amount of bread, and at times the crust seemed to pop out a bit. There were quite a few elements in there, and swimming in very nice harmony without becoming a blurry mix. I could actually see push/pulling this one in quite a few directions very easily if needed. Continued vaping, revealed more wow from me, and this WAS going to be one of my favs from this first batch. While no real cinnamon or raisin elements were present, it could very easily be push/pulled, and was super delicious at this level, and could easily be considered a solo ADV. Finishing the tank, I still cannot find fault with this one. Just a perfect blend of bread, egg, butter, cream, and some vanilla spice, that really supports what it's called. Handily a **10/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Vanilla Milkshake (River Supply) 3% (2-9-20)** -- First one on deck to see what River Supply Co has to offer. On the start I could tell this was a different kind of Milkshake. Most of the overused (common) malty notes present in many others were missing. What this allowed was more of a "Chic Fila" milkshake for those of you in the US. More of a creamier/cleaner milkshake. @ 3% it was actually very full, semi-rich, and the sweetness barely pushed above mid level sweet. Very delicious vanilla milkshake with almost whipped cream on top. Wasn't overly thick and didn't have pot fulls of mouth feel, but still very good. Having tried soo many other MS's this one was a welcome change to the more common heavy handed approach, with a heavier, maltier aspect. A very simple, clean, and delicious Vanilla Milkshake that didn't flood itself with sweetener. Only minor takeoffs for subdued mouthfeel. Great way to start off the series. **9.25/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Waffle Crunch (River Supply) 3% (3-2-20)** -- My current go to waffle is FW's Waffle Cone, and it brings a lot to the party. At 3% this one was fairly full, but fell behind my go to in strength. I didn't get an overwhelming (if any) maple in this, which would open it's uses, and sweetness was mid to low, which was surprising. I could def. pick up on some actual cone elements that weren't exactly biscuit-y, but favored that direction. As far as any "crunch", not sure if I really picked up on any of it here. I don't think this will kick my go to off it's perch, but it was still quite good. For a fairly versatile Waffle flavor, not loaded up with Maple Syrup or butter, that's not overly heavy handed, this one may work for you. **8.75/10**.



https://..................../recipe/3447696/River+Supply+Co+%28River+Flavors%29+SF+tests

Alright, it seems I have stumbled across a as of yet unfound STASH of Nature's Flavors !!! What do we do, when we find something ?? WE TEST THEM !!!! Huge thanks out to @Plunderdrum for some working percentages, as I would have had no clue where to test these. Thank you for that.



**Banana Nut (Organic) (NF) 0.5% (2-29-20)** -- This one was another one that smelled one way in the tank, and tasted another vaping. Smelled like a creamy banana, with a hint of spice, and some nuts. Vaping it, lost some of the creamy banana, and some of the nut. At the reduced rate of 0.5% it was full, and nothing off-putting. Sweetness was about mid level, and it was an even keeled vape. It surprised me when vaping as it lost some notes compared to smelling, but it was still good, just not AS good as smelling it. The banana teetered in between natural and candied, and with the lessened nut profile when vaping, was hard to identify. If it vaped like it smelled, it would have been a 10, but with my perceived note reduction, I think a **6.5/10** is fair. I don't think it is good enough to carry the B&N by itself, but could be an asset in firming one up.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Bavarian Cream (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-29-20)** -- My current go to BC is TPA's for reference. This one came across as quite a different BC than I was used to. It was almost a mix of NF's custard, with some Danish elements thrown in. I did get some of the almost dry hit twinges I got from NF's Custard here as well. Nicely full at 1% and sweetness was mid level. Quite a different BC, and that it just reminded me of NF's custard, with some danish, and a smidge of coconut perhaps in there. To my tastes, it didn't really convey a BC. Not terrible, but didn't seem like a BC to me. **6.5/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Cake Batter (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-24-20)** -- One of the most notorious CB's I've tried was CAP's, and it always came across as far too chemically for my tastes, so these always scare me. OK, NO chemically-ness in this one, great. It's a hard one to describe, but let's start out by saying, it doesn't SCREAM Cake Batter at me when vaping it. It's actually a very good bakery-ish flavor, that COULD lean that way, but doesn't scream it. At 1% it was very full, and almost rich, but didn't exude any eggy-ness that I could pick up, but maybe some bakery/cooky elements I did get throughout. I have no clue how to make, and barely describe a cake batter, but this was a really good vape, none the less. As far as a stand out, I'd say no, but, still good, and great to add some light bakery, almost cookie (not quite) elements to your mixes. Sweetness was mid high, and I got no off-putting notes throughout the tank. I did finish the tank, so that's worth a lot right there. As far as the full profile, maybe 40% CB, and 60% good cookie/bakery/sweet. So not a super stand out, but still very good. For it's name, will have to leave solidly @ **7/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Cheesecake (Organic) (NF) 1.5% (2-25-20)** -- OK, who's NOT afraid to test Cheesecakes ?? This guy. I had a run in a while back with RFSC's Cheesecake, mixed it up, smelled it, and never vaped it LOL. So, that tradition continues with all cheesecakes. This one smelled pretty good in the bottle, so test on we shall. Vaping at 1% was very full with no signs of hitting the limit. Creamy, and mid-sweet, with not off-putting sour cheese that's thrown me on a few others. It was interesting as smelling it, revealed an almost custard note to it, but vaping it that seemed to fall in behind the cheese, and wasn't very present. To my tastes it was almost a blend of a custard and cheesecake. Now, throughout the tester tank, I continued to get a note, which I believe is NF's attempt at a Graham Cracker in there, and although not off-putting, I wasn't a fan of, at least in this mix platform. May or may not be a deal breaker for you, so you will have to decide. Continued comparisons between smelling and vaping, did continue to reveal much more of an eggy custard when smelling, that changed into more of a custard when vaping. Def. not as eggy when vaping. To call this a 50/50 custard/cheesecake would be accurate. Now, it was quite good, but as a "cheesecake" would have to mark down for the (I think) graham cracker that I wasn't fond of, and or the blurring between custard/cheesecake. **6.9/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Cookie Dough (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-24-20)** -- As soon as I started vaping this, I knew they had some of their Milk Chocolate compounds in here (previously reviewed). I wasn't a huge fan of that, and considered chalking this one up immediately, but soldered on through. It actually started evening out after vaping. At first blush, it appeared to be almost a mixture of their MC with Cake Batter I had just tested. Maybe not exactly, but that will put you in the ballpark. Now CD can be hard to create accurately I'm sure. Too many different elements and tastes to get it so that everyone agrees it's Cookie Dough. This was more of a somewhat chocolate chip cookie, BUT, without the finished baked cookie part. Sounds like a CD, right ? It smelled more like it in the tank than vaping it, but even still it didn't convey much of the dough. The MC portion had none of the off putting notes I had when testing that solo, and at 1% felt good, and strong enough, with sweetness low to mid level. Your mileage will vary as to whether or not this is a "dough" flavor or not. It's in the arena, but not front row seats let's say. Overall, not a terrible vape by any means, but could use more of the dough. I did get slight coconut aspects that would come and go, and I think that did help it move slightly towards the dough side of things. I think it feels good at **7.4/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Custard (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-27-20)** -- Getting near the end of this series, and custard on deck !!!! Smelling this in the tank, smelled almost like a light CAP VC with some pudding notes. Vaping it, it stayed similar, yet different. I think I saw a review (of very few), that read, "This stuff is terrible", LOL. Now it's not terrible, and it's not overtly eggy or offensive, but the rather bland, middle of the road custard is tempered by a a strange off note for me. It's almost like the precursor to your cotton running dry. You know, you're getting loads of great vapes, then the last one, you get that HINT (not burnt cotton) that you MIGHT be running your wicks dry ?? THAT, is what I get from every vape on this one. I almost want to say it has a harshness to it, but that might be excessive, but that's what I get from this. The flavor is full at 1%, sweetness is low, and it presents as a unremarkable custard, with some pudding elements in there. I can't shake the aftertaste though. Only vaping @ 65w on dual verticals (as ALL of my testers are), coming in @ 0.35 ohms, so nothing that would be causing that slightly harsh, almost "wicks are about to run dry" aftertaste. I'm going to guess that this may NOT be the custard for you, but, you never know. Being unable to shake the after note, will leave this smack dab @ **5/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Danish Pastry (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-22-20)** -- Woo Hoo, first one on deck for testing Nature's Flavors came out of the corner swinging. Swinging a one two danish punch !!!! Even at 1% this one was very rich and full, and it might even be able to run lower, so that is probably going to put this into the UC catagory. My first thoughts were a medium light pastry with a slight hint of cream cheese, bakery, and maybe some lower cinnamon notes. Now don't let that put you off, as whatever cinna was in here was very low. Overall, all of the notes together DID convey a very convincing danish profile. Not overly creamy, yet full, sweetness was nicely mid, mid-low on the scale, and there were no off putting notes. I could easily see this being pushed with some LA Cream Cheese to enhance it, and fruits could completely push/pull it into numerous directions. Without struggling to try and explain danish elements, let's just say it works, and is convincing. Could maybe go even lower, but nothing was hitting the ceiling at the 1% test level. No yeasty notes, and no play doh, just a solid, convincing danish. Continued vaping revealed maybe a 25% croissant, 75% danish mix, so it could be used in croissant recipes as well, but would require more pulling. As a danish, can't go lower than **9.4/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Fresh Baked Bread (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-23-20)** -- One of the advantages of doing batch SF testing from a MFG is you almost immediately know when they use the same compounds across multiple flavors. This is the case with this Fresh Baked Bread. The review for this is exactly like the Danish Pastry review, EXCEPT this is missing the "danish" bending including the cream cheese. It's interesting how when taking out the cream cheese compound (or not adding it) pulls it back away from a danish, to a more bread-like flavor. Quite good at this percentage, and although it didn't really have any crust, it is a slightly sweet, somewhat dark-medium bread-like flavor. When smelling it in the tank it almost has very slight spicy notes, could be cinnamon, but it's unclear, and vaping it they almost disappear. This is not a white bread (overly processed), but leans more towards a mid darkness wheat almost. When I say that, it's not that it directly conveys "wheat", but this tastes and feels heavier than a purely white bread. Very good actually, and having just tested the Danish Pastry, I cannot help but compare the two. There is NO toast, so don't expect anything like FA Bread Crust. As is, a pretty convincing medium darkness, somewhat wheat-ish bread. **9/10**.

**Marshmallow (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-23-20)** -- Well, this one's a winner. That's all. :slight_smile: Ok, ok, but it is. I ran out of my CAP original MM a long time ago, and am still struggling to remember it exactly, but at first vape, this almost reminded me of CAP's original mixed with some FA MM. @ 1% is was plenty strong, and could easily be pushed down to 0.50, or 0.75. As it was, it was great. Very fluffy marshmallow with plenty of mouthfeel, and nice and even on the inhale and exhale. Could almost taste the powder on the outside of the MM (if you know what I mean). Let me fill you in on what it means when you've got a good SF flavor in the tank. Filled it up, started testing, got busy, grabbed the tank, and just kept vaping on it as if it was my ADV. Got back, wrote up some notes, and now this review. Yeah, I can ADV this MM. Mid level sweetness with maybe some vanilla, but it didn't scream vanilla MM. Continued vaping, proved to be a really relaxed experience. Some malty notes thrown in for good measure, and just a really fluffy, mouthfeel experience. This one was previously stated as one of the keepers, and now I agree. **10/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Milk Chocolate (Organic) (NF) 0.25% (2-22-20)** -- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!! OK, third one in, and these ARE indeed Ultra Concentrates. Initially tested this one @ 0.5%, and indeed it was TOO HIGH. Getting all orders of brewer's yeast (yes). OK, tempered it to HALF, and coming in at an ultra low 0.25% this one started to take shape. Now I still got a VERY small amount of that yesty-ness, but it was almost undetectable, and a MC started to reveal itself. Unlike the new INW MC which was Band Aid City, this had no band aides, and was not overly dry, semi-sweet, which left it comfortably low on the sweet scale. It presented as a fairly unique MC, and I could not think of a good comparison, which elevates it to the unique status, BUT, even @ 0.25% I was still getting an almost brewer's yeast off note. Don't have time to go even lower, so it's POSSIBLE that maybe halved again @ 0.125% it might eliminate, but noticing the halving of the flavor intensity when going from 0.50 to 0.25, I don't think there would be much MC left, so that may just be, what this flavor is. Not the worst MC by far, and as a mixer it would def. work out, but the yeasty off note was a little TOO unique for my MC tastes. Mixer yes, main/primary note no. Please go LOW with this one, and I'll close and leave it at a **4/10**..
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Pancake (Organic) (NF) 1.0% (2-22-20)** -- On to number two, and it proved to be more than strong enough @ 1%, so these (at least the Organic Line I tested) are in the Ultra concentrate level. I was warned this one was another one of the good ones, and I agree. Having tried many pancakes, I found this one to be an interestingly different take on a pancake. It did NOT present with butter and/or syrup which was a surprise, and continued vaping also revealed I wasn't missing them in this flavor. To my tastes it was like 40% pancake batter, and 60% pancakes. Quite a delicious little mix here. It probably could be tested lower, but even with that, it was very good at a full 1%. Not overly creamy, but a mid level sweet almost perfect pancake, with lighter batter elements mixed in. I continued to vape thinking surely I would find some trace of the typical butter / syrup but they just weren't in there, and that was great, because if you want them, you can add them, if not, roll solo. It leaned towards a vanilla, but wasn't a vanilla. Smelled slightly spicy in the tank, but not when vaping it. Very interesting mix, and the tank will be finished fo sure on this one. **9.75/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Peanut Butter (Organic) (NF) 0.75% (2-26-20)** -- Admittedly I don't vape many Peanut Butters so this was a nice change up for me. Have mostly used TPA's and CAP's for comparison. TPA's being darker and saltier, and CAP's being smoother/creamier/sweeter, this one leaned towards Capella's. Was surprisingly laid back @ 0.75% so it is possible boosting it might push it to a fuller status, but testing was do-able at this level. A somewhat recessed PB that had some low level sweetness, and inched towards a creamy vape with little to no mid to dark, or salty notes. Throughout the entire tank I kept thinking the PB without the P. I didn't get an overly forward peanut element from it, but you got the sense it was in there, which is odd for a PB. Wasn't a bad vape at all, but LOL, could use some more NUTS. Because of it's somewhat laid back overall taste, and no punchy peanut notes, could easily be used in a base, but would need some peanut push IMO. Struggling to work up a number for a PB that's missing some of the P. Still slightly sweet and creamy, and a good vape, so settling on a **6.5/10**.
___________________________________________________________________________________

**Pumpkin Pie (Organic) (NF) 0.35% (2-25-20)** -- I knew this one was super strong before mixing, and started this out at 0.35%. Smelling this when mixing smelled like it was going to be an interesting one, and it is. It was not like any other PP I have tried to date. The pumpkin was actually very good, and the pie was seemingly lost in the mix behind an almost bitter, earthy note that carried through the entire vape. Sweetness was low on the scale, and there was some spice, but it was hard to identify. It is possible that perhaps the earthy bitterness I was getting could have been a nutmeg, but it eludes a clear description. Because that "note" was so pervasive, it was hard to really taste any crust, and the pumpking note was about the only thing peaking through. Continued vaping still left me with that dark, earthy note, which bordered on bitter. I'm not sure if you could mix that out or not, so it will probably be a deal breaker for many. Clearly a natural flavor with no artificial notes, and the pumpking was great, but just overshadowed by "the note". Marking down quite a bit for the heavy, earthy notes obscuring what might have been a much better flavor. **4/10**.

http://..................../recipe/2565268/Medicine+Flower+SF+Tests

**Honeydew Melon (MF) 1% (8-19-18)** -- First flavor test as a SF for my MF stash, and had a hard time waiting 1 month to get started. This one I knew was going to launch a flavor bazooka at me when I was mixing it. 1 month later, I was right. BOOM. In your face, perfectly balanced Honeydew Melon, with just the right amount of the body, and rind. Tastes incredibly fresh, and ripe, at the same time (is that even possible ?). Just the right amount of sweetness, and in no way candied or overly sweet. It was very strong and good @ 1%, and in no way off putting, with no off notes, perfume, or artificial. I did get a slight bit of TH from it, which was a non issue, perhaps mixed too high ?? It's strong enough where I wondered if dropping it to 0.5-0.6% would improve it, or lessen it. May do some lower testing. As is, it is simply the freshest, most realistic Honeydew Melon I have ever tried. Inhale, exhale, room note all deliciously the same. If you are in need for a very realistic Honeydew Melon that will wow, this one will do it for you. Unquestionably **10/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Morello Cherry (MF) 1% (8-20-18)** -- Number 2 on the list had me somewhat apprehensive due to some bad "cherry" flavorings before. With the Morello being part of the dark or sour cherry group was expecting maybe a sour kick, but that was not the case. FIRST things first, this was a GOOD cherry. No if's, and's, or but's about it. NO offensive notes, chemical, medicinal, or perfumey notes were to be found with this one, and THAT, is a BIG deal. To add to that, NO cough syrup !!!!!! Ok, moving on, this one did not have the kick that the Honeydew Melon had, but that was ok. Just sweet enough, didn't appear to have many sour characteristics to it, and it perfectly conveyed the darker cherry flavor, with just a pinch of skin. Because this was following the Honeydew Melon, I can't help but compare the strengths. This was more laid back at 1%, and it felt as if it could maybe use a little more kick, maybe in the high end to help it pop. Perhaps being an acidic fruit, maybe a little Stevia here would work the magic. Will have to consult with @ozo. Very even tempered, dark cherry body with some sweetness, and a little ping on the top end, but could use a little more ping, IMO. Overall, this was quite good, and the fact that it had NO chemical or cough syrup notes, was impressive to me. Might benefit from a smidge of Stevia to make it pop a little bit more, but as is, nicely sitting at about **7.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Fig (MF) 1% (8-21-18)** -- Fig baby FIG !!!!!!! There was NO other way to start this flavor review, than that. I have the luxury of having a fig tree in the yard, so I'm very used to the taste of fresh figs. Have never vaped it before now, but I think this one is going to change that. Realizing these are natural flavors, the fact that this IS a spot on Fig flavor should be no surprise, but the fact that it is so good, actually is. It perfectly captures and conveys the fig body, and almost the seeds too. Tastes like a perfectly ripe fig fresh off the tree. I almost ran out to the fig tree to compare, but I couldn't put the tank down. For comparison it was seemingly quite a bit more present than the Morello Cherry, but fell slightly behind the Honeydew Melon in strength. The sweetness, body, flavor, and overall blending was perfect, and the dark, almost malty-ish notes were perfectly presented in this gem. This one was priced higher on MF's site @ $41.00 / 15ml as opposed to the more common @ $22.00 / 15ml, but after tasting this, it is worth every bit of that. I may have to buy the BIG bottle of this one. If you are looking for Fig, this is where you find it, and in spades. No faults whatsoever with this one, in any way. Strength, sweetness, profile, with nothing artificial, you cannot go wrong with this one. Think you don't like Fig, you better try this one first. No choice but **10/10** on this one.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Watermelon (MF) 1% (8-24-18)** -- My current go to for WM is LA colorless. This one might just change that. Firstly this is a very delicious, juicy watermelon, and at 1% tasted very full, just sweet enough, and really embodied the best parts of a watermelon. You could really taste just enough of the red and white parts, and maybe a hint of the rind to top it off. As expected (with all naturally extracted flavors) it was not heavy handed, and tasted, well, very natural. In comparison to the LA colorless version, this one just tasted more clean, natural, and no candyness whatsoever. This may influence your use of it depending if you are going for a candied mix as opposed to a accurate watermelon. Strength was very good @ 1%, clean, full, and just plain damned good. I can't find faults with this one, and this seems to be a growing trend with my MF tests so far. For a very accurate, clean, natural, and full tasting watermelon you cannot go wrong with this one. Strength wise in comparison to the previous MF flavors @ 1%, this one was still stronger than the morello cherry, but behind the Fig and Honeydew Melon. Another winner with no complaints @ **10/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Plum (MF) 1% (8-27-18)** -- With the Medicine Flower Fig blowing me away, was pondering if the Plum would hit me as hard. First off, this Plum is GOOD. Just absolutely captured the aspect of the fruit, and you can just taste the darkish red body while you're vaping it. Compared TO the Fig, this one is much more laid back, almost at the level I had with the Morello Cherry. Doesn't make it bad, but it didn't have that brick to the face that the Fig did. Medicine Flower really seems to get the fruits right, and with just the right amount of sweetness without being overbearing and this is no exception. With it being more laid back @ 1% the other thing that seemed to be missing somewhat was the twang or bight of the skin. I actually HAD a few Plums from the store and vaped and ate to compare. The skin has somewhat of a sharpness to it, that I didn't get from the flavor. Again, didn't really take away from it, but in addition to the more laid back-ed-ness of this one, it seemed to detract somewhat from the overall experience. Very natural tasting, full, ripe, and juicy. Just a great overall flavor. Unsure if upp'ing the % would bring it into a fuller light or not. As is, having NO off-putting notes, and somewhat laid back, would rate it nicely at a **8/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Wild Raspberry (MF) 1% (8-28-18)** -- Bing, bang, BOOM !!!!!! Review over, I think you get the idea. I had QUITE a hard time, trying to find faults with this beauty. Vaped 3 tank fulls trying to find any faults, and couldn't. Wow, I'm glad I got the Wild one as it was great. Just about every other raspberry I've tried, I've had issues with in some way or another, but not this one. Massively delicious, darker raspberry, full, rich, and just the right touch of bright on the finish. Could you taste the seeds even ?? Almost, just almost. Sweetness was perfectly balanced in this one, some hints of sour and brightness, but the smooth and darker deliciousness just washes over you when you vape it. What's it like ?? Hmmmm, I did get some similarities to Inawera's Raspberry, but without any of the heavy handed sharpness that it can present. Similar, but this one is far superior. I'm wondering if adding a smidge OF the INW might add a little punch to this one or not. Honestly, after 3 tank fulls, I'm not sure I would dare to try as it is just too damned good, solo. Not candied in any way, very full and impactful at this percentage, and too good to put down. The first thing that I thought, literally on the first test, on the first tank was, "I've got to throw this in some custard" !!!!! Very fresh and natural tasting, with just the right amount of darkness (wild perhaps), and very hard to put down. **10/10** without question.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Strawberry (MF) 1% (9-8-18)** -- I am a lover of strawberries, and having tested more than a few MF's was waiting to see about this one. First off, it is probably the weakest MF flavor I have tested yet. Because of that, it was quite a bit more elusive in identifying it's characteristics. Smelled very good, and fresh in the bottle, but vaping it at this percentage, proved to be less satisfying, and it performed almost as if a sweetish fruit. I could tell what the underlying flavor was but it was very laid back at this strength. I have read it is one of the weaker flavors, and my testing seemed to verify that. From the notes I was able to obtain, it continued with the freshness that I've grown to expect from MF, and very natural tasting at that. Without increasing the strength, further indepth notes are impossible for me, will re-test this at twice this strength @ 2% to see what is revealed then. At 1% I am unable to go above **6/10** for this one. _Stay tuned for a 2% re-test coming up, for an update._
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Cucumber (MF) 1% (9-8-18)** -- Whew, this one was potent, true to name, and clean and refreshing !!!! No sense holding back on this natural tasting powerhouse. Was strong @ 1%, and could be reduced, but even at this strength, a clean, refreshing cucumber is front and center. Sweetness was lower in the spectrum, but it worked perfectly with this flavor. MF was able to accurately capture the inner juicy body (minus the seeds), and had just a smidge of the dark outer skin, enough to make it really realistic. Nothing off putting or perfumey in this flavor, and despite 1% appearing somewhat strong the initial impact was FRESH. Having SF tested this now, I see exactly why @Pro_Vapes paired this up with the Honeydew as this one is a strong, juicy contender, and paired they are incredible. When comparing this to a few of the other cucu's I've tried, this one (expected as MF extracts are from the actual food itself) was far more natural, and clean tasting, almost what you would expect, from the actual vegetable. If you hate cucumbers, then you will hate this flavor !!! **10/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Butterscotch (MF) 0.75% (9-23-18)** -- I have mixed with this a bit, but never tested it as a single flavor. My first reaction was this is a very clean butterscotch. Very natural tasting, nicely sweet with some of the subtle nuances of BS that many others miss. It was somewhat light @,75%, but still surprisingly full. Not sure how they got it this good with no dik's, but it's entirely possible some of the richness might have suffered because of this. Very clear, which is again, indicative of MF in general. My personal preference is for a slightly heavier, buttery-er BS, but surely one could easily tweak this clean BS into a richer one with ease. No complaints beyond the strength and richness, clean, accurate, and quite full even at less than 1%. **7.5/10** on this one for me.

One GREAT recipe that showcases what's possible with this is from @Sprkslfly.

http://..................../recipe/1804276/
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Dark Chocolate (MF) 0.5% (09-24-18)** -- I knew this one was going to be one of the Heavy Hitters from Medicine Flower, but held off on testing it, until now. Having mixed quite a bit of this up, was interested to see exactly HOW good it was, solo. Chocolate seems to be one of the hardest flavors to get right, but somehow (through their extraction process) MF has managed to absolutely capture the entire essence of a Dark Chocolate with this one, AND, it's completely clear. Clear you say, sure, you have TPA DCC, and it's pretty clear, but it can't touch this one. I think it's far to say when comparing the many chocolates I have, this one and TPA DCC are similar, but after that, they are not in the same league. This one is a delightfully (yes I said that) Dark Chocolate, with NO off putting notes. No need to tweak, add to it, push or pull it, right out of the bottle delicious, full, sweet enough, creamy, and dark, RIGHT out of the bottle (after steeping) and even @ 0.5%. Wow, and more wow, doesn't even come close. It is dense enough to be very full at this strength, with no overowering notes, nothing artificial, and does appear to be a fairly complex blend that most others cannot compete with. Dark almost implies it will be, well, dark, but it's almost assumed it would be bitter, or maybe dry, but NOT with this one. Somehow they've come up with a just about perfect blend of darker chocolates, just the right amount of sweetness, but with plenty of "mid-body" that carries it through to a much fuller chocolate than just a "dark" chocolate. I've heard @Pro_Vapes rant and rave about tossing all of his chocolates after trying this one, and now I see why. If you are in the mood for a full, creamy, dark and full bodied chocolate, you cannot go wrong with this one. At some level, **10/10** doesn't seem to come close, but it will have to do. On a side note, I cannot NOT post a shameless link to something Pro_Vapes came up with, that pulls this into a Milk Chocolate, as it is TOO good not to..

http://..................../recipe/586930/(DIY) Milk Chocolate (Flavor Base)
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Lemon (MF) 0.2% (10-17-18)** -- With all of the warnings about this one being super strong, mixed it down at an insanely low 0.2%. At this low rate, it is probably one of the BEST lemons I've ever tried. It actually have a little sweetness which surprised me, and with it's beyond natural taste, was almost a little lemonade right out of the bottle. Natural, fresh, and punchy were the three words that kept coming to mind through the entire tank. Strong it may be, but deliciously clean, fresh, and accurate it is. Mixed at a low rate, I cannot see anything requiring lemon, or top end boosting that this wouldn't work in. Outstanding, no faults, just plain great lemon. **10/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Caramel (MF) 0.75% (10-18-18)** -- Wow, this one surprised me more than once, when vaping through the tester tank. The re-occurring thought that I kept getting was EFFORTLESS when vaping it. I was very surprised that @ 0.75% it was very nice and full, with just the right amount of sweetness. As most my other MF tests, this one was very clean, natural, and just felt effortless in it's portrayal of a great Caramel. I think having used many other Caramels I was used to a more strong handed approach to the flavor, with a more in your face punch, as opposed to how this one tastes. It's not lacking in any way, except for maybe a more of a artificially forced flavor, which this is not. Nice caramel (duh) elements with a somewhat buttery touch, that finishes clean, and leaves you wanting more. I don't think it is overwhelmingly rich, probably due to lacking dik's, but lacking almost feels wrong, in talking about this flavor. Even when comparing to other heavier Caramels, it's hard to find fault with this, and it's clean nature will allow it to be used even more often than many others. **9.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Blackberry (MF) 0.75% (10-19-18)** -- Like all of the other MF fruits I've tried this one came across as very natural, and clean tasting. It seemed to lean towards the darker side of a blackberry, as opposed to a brighter one. The sweetness seemed lower than some of the other MF flavors, and it was somewhat laid back in comparison too. Some added sweetness and/or stevia might help it pop more. I don't think I would use this as a main blackberry flavor, but more so of a booster or additive to others. Steeped very well, def. got across what it was trying to convey. For a slightly darker, not so sweetened blackberry, that is not as strong as many others, that's what you'll get with this one. Not great, not bad, riding in the middle of the road for me. **6.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**White Chocolate (MF) 1% (1-18-20)** -- Back for round FOUR !!! First one in, and having not vaped many White Chocos was unsure how this would fare. At the low mixing weight of 1% this one was surprisingly rich and full, and did impart about every aspect of a White Chocolate that you could want. Sweetness, like most MF's was about perfect, at just enough, not too much. Because I have gone through soo much MF Dark Chocolate, I kept looking for a trace of that in this one, but there was not. Creamy, and accurate were the first two thoughts that came to mind. Assuming dik free it is interesting how MF pulls this off, even with their Nitrogen extraction process. Accurate, with nothing medicinal or chemical, and did appear to be a natural tasting WC. For mixing, I think my tastes align with the Dark Choco more than this, but that's a preference thing, not anything negative for this flavor. All in, it was quite good, but comparing to the Dark Choco (fair/not fair) this lacked some of the punch and impact, but even with that said, this one was good, and solid @ **8.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Mandarin (MF) 1% (1-19-20)** -- Medicine Flower sure does their fruits right, and the Mandarin is no exception to that rule. The first two things that hit me were "accurate" and "mid-notes" on this one. Mid-notes ?? I had anticipated much more of a high-note, brighter vape, but this one turned out to ride much more heavily right smack in the middle. It still had some brighter top notes, and some very low notes (almost the peel / rind), but the majority of this was the nice full body of the Mandarin. At 1% it was about mid-strength, and might even be able to go higher (in regards to a SF), sweetness was about perfect, leaning on the lower side of the scale. It came across very accurately, and did almost leave your mouth watering as if you were eating one. That's NEVER a bad sign. I think overall, it's hard to find fault with this, but for the seemingly lack of the bright citrus notes that I had expected. Doesn't really take away from the overall vape, but appeared missing somewhat. As it stands, with only the missing bright high notes, feels pretty good @ **8/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Coconut (MF) 1% (1-19-20)** -- Oh Coconut, why have you eluded me so long ?? I've had some REAL issues trying to get a really good Coconut base over the years, and my current go to's are Delosi's Coconut, and FLV Sweet Coconut paired. Many just give me off-putting notes, or come across as oily. Let's see what MF has in store. Yummy McYum, in BUCKETS. Ok, concisely this one was a very good Coconut. Nicely authentic, creamy and delicious, with no off-putting notes, no suntan lotion, and no greasy-ness to it (you know what I mean Coconut Extra). At 1% it was nicely full, thick, and tasty with no hints of being over/under powered. Not dry or implying flakes, but an even keeled coconut milk-ish vape that stayed true through my entire tester tank. Although not as punchy as some of it's artificial bretheren, it really didn't need to be, and sometimes honest, natural flavors ARE the way to go. If you are in need for a delicious coconut that leans towards the milk, but still has the meat, you could not go wrong with this one. **9.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Black Cherry (MF) 1% (1-19-20)** -- If you're reading this, and you DIY, you KNOW the fear of mixing/using/trying Cherry flavors. I have GREAT NEWS, Medicine Flower really did a great Black Cherry !!! Having tried only the MF Morello which was good, but a little too laid back for my tastes, I was pleased to see that this Black Cherry steps up MF's cherry game. No medicinal, floral, soapy or otherwise off-putting notes in this one @ 1% after a month steep, just deliecious dark cherry. Because of their natural extraction, the fact that this captured the perfect Black Cherry flavor should be no surprise. Middle of the road sweet, and fairly full at this percentage. I could see this one working VERY well with Inawera's Cherries, and may have to mix that up before finishing this tank. Nothing marashcino or white in this mix, just pure Black Cherry. Not overtly tart, but more of a nice even, dark bodied, full BC just about sums it up. It was actually soo good that I'm already thinking of a Black Cherry Custard. As far as "in your face", I'd put that at about an 8/10. About the only thing it might be missing would be a smidge of high notes, and a smidge of sour that you'd get from the skin. Even with that said, I cannot go less than **9.75/10** on this one.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Guava (MF) 1% (1-19-20)** -- Yet another "knock it out of the park" for MF with this one. Having loved, and mixed quite a bit with CAP's Sweet Guava, was looking forward to throwing the MF Guava into the tank. As expected the two are worlds apart. Love the CAP's, but this one is dead on accurate, natural tasting, and spot on at the ultra low price of 1%. Sweetness was right in the middle of the scale, with the full face full of a delicious red/pink guava. Nothing off-putting, no cat pee (you guava heads know what I mean), just mouth watering guava. Has the perfect amount of "fermented" twinge to it, and overflowing with body. This is hard to quantify, but probably one of the TOP MF fruit flavors I've tried. Now when I say the top, it means merely edging out many others by a tiny bit. It's making me want to dash and grab some FLV Lemonade, LA Lemonade and throw some of this in there, for a smokin' Guavade. Clean, natural, full, and accurate is all in there with this one. If you want/need/love the Guava, sign yourself up for this one. **10/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Kiwi (MF) 1% (1-22-20)** -- Well, well, well, what do we have here. Just when you thought I was a #MedicineFlowerFanBoy, Kiwi. Hmmmm, what an odd one this was, JUST when I was starting to think EVERY MF fruit flavor was the bomb. OK, let's dive in. Smelling it, smelled spot on Kiwi, with all the high, punchy notes that you would expect. Vaping it however, it was quite a bit different. My FIRST impressions were a mid note Kiwi mixed with some Cotton Candy, and Marshmallow, with a hint of chai tea ?? Hmmmm, that's not like MF. Re-coiled, re-wicked, let steep a bit more, nope, that's what I'm getting. My current go to has been FA's Kiwi for quite some time because of how accurate, clean, and punchy it is. This one just kept riding right in the middle of the brightness scale, meaning it was missing much of the higher/brighter/punchy notes that you want (at least I do) from a Kiwi. Now, it wasn't bad, but I couldn't help but keep noticing a Chai Tea note in it. It's an interesting one, but I'm not sure if this is the Kiwi you are looking for. Not terrible, not great, right in the middle with a somewhat subdued Kiwi, that was missing much of the brighter notes. I may re-test later at a lower %, but it had none of the telltale signs of overuse. If so, I will update this, BUT, as it stands, at the low, low, low mixing weight of 1%, will have to leave this at a **5.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Nectarine (MF) 1% (1-23-20)** – Juicy, delicious, accurate, review over !!! OK, maybe not over over, but those were my FIRST thoughts on Medicine Flower's Nectarine. Smelled great in the bottle all during it's steep sleep, and vaping it, was exactly the same. It was soo juicy, that it was very close to eating one, or about as close as you could. MF always seems to get the sweetness right, and this was the same, with mid to low sweetness. Nice and punchy top end with some brightness, but with no bitterness or any off putting notes. Juicy, accurate, and delicious really does say all you need to say about this one. **9.7/10**. After much peer pressure from @xxanalogxx, I've decided to disclose the -0.3 was for "No Tang". That is all....
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Pear (MF) 1% (1-25-20)** – The more of these MF fruits that I test, the more obvious it becomes between natural flavors vs. non-natural. This Pear continues that observation. Many of MF's fruits are as true and accurate as can be had, but sometimes are not as "in your face" as a manufactured flavor. The Pear is no different. At 1% this on was nicely full, with a nice smattering of mid and some high notes. It did come across as a full Pear assault on your senses. Sweetness was low to mid, with varied notes leaving it in the somewhat complex category. Full and juicy were the first two thoughts I had, and that carried through to the end of the tank. I could see this perfectly pairing with FA's Pear to push it even more in your face. Although not weak, maybe one of the slightly lower strength fruit flavors I've tried, but in no way lacking @ 1%. Plenty of body, a smidge of the skin, and a full Pear vape through and through. I can't find fault with this one. **9.25/10**, with only minor take offs for saturation/intensity.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Peach (MF) 1% (1-25-20)** – What typically sucks with peaches, is they're either "white", or "yellow", or "juicy", but never seem to be ALL of them. Well, I think Medicine Flower did it somehow. I mean, I could just end this by saying, "Wow, what a great peach", but I wont. One of my current go to's is TPA's Juicy Peach, which is not a stellar peach by itself, but I use the "juicy" aspect and push/pull it. When comparing that to MF's offering reveals QUITE a bit of differences. This peach, may well be the BEST overall Peach I have ever tried. Rather than settle on a particular peach, it really encompasses the ENTIRE peach. Extremely full @ 1%, but not overpowering. Sweetness was perfectly right in the middle of the scale. It really DOES taste like you're actually eating a peach, perfectly ripened, and you can almost get the fuzz (perhaps anticipated) from it. In comparison to TPA's Juicy Peach, this has juiciness but (duh) in a much more natural way, as opposed to a more forced way. If I were forced to pick ONE type of peach it favored, I would have to go with a full, yellow peach, but it's so evenly balanced across the spectrum, even that is subjective. Not candied, not gummy-ed, just natural. This would clearly work as a main note or supporting with equal ease. If you want to vape a peach, that tastes like you're eating one, THIS will take you there. Probably one of the unspoken secrets of SFT, is when you're testing a flavor, VERY often you immediately think of what flavors would work with it, boost it, push it, but with this one, I was struggling to think of any out of the gate, and that is the sign, of a great flavor. Sure you could push/pull it, but once you vape it, you might find yourself asking, why ......
**10/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Blueberry (MF) 1% (1-25-20)** – Having heard ALL the rave reviews about this one, for some reason I held off getting it. Maybe I was too content with my current Flavor West Blueberry / TPA Blueberry Wild combo, but that has now changed. With Medicine Flower price reducing all of the originals I was able to score a 30ml of this one, and now, I'm GLAD I did. In a word WOW. Smelling it on the bottle it seemed kind of odd almost, leaving me hesitant during it's sleep/steep. But as always, Medicine Flower proved they DO know what they're doing. This one, IS now the BEST Blueberry I have ever tried, made, and/or mixed. You looking online for it yet ?? Blueberry isn't the easiest one to get right, or everyone would be doing it (well). I have tried more than most, and some have even had a funky muskiness to them. This one is literally the definition of a complex single flavor. Utterly full, rich, and delicious to start, and it finishes, exactly the way it starts. Now there IS a kind of earthy/musky-ness to this, but it absolutely works. Hands down, it just plain works. It's hard to convey how rich and full this is, as many fruits can come across as thinner, hollower than say a bakery or custard, but this one, is right up there with the full-est of them, AND, as a fruit flavor !!!! Continued vaping, continues (LOL) to reveal it's multi-dimensional makeup. The center body is some dark, more mid, and some high notes, with this fascination almost fermented high end kicker, which just sets it apart from the crowd. Sweetness is mid level, total absence of anything floral or soapy, and NO funky musky-ness. One of my first (and there were a lot) thoughts was, "How could you NOT use this in a blueberry muffin" ? May have to get on that, but quite frankly, will not be doing ANYTHING, until this entire tester bottle runs dry. I now see why there was so much hype on this one, and claims of "the Best", and I agree. At times I thought I picked up a somewhat jammy quality, other times not. IMO, it's that complex. Wish I could give an 11/10, but **10/10** will have to do. If you can FIND IT, you should BUY IT !!!

Molinberry is new to me, so figured I'd better change that. Place holding for now, finalizing percentages shortly.

https://..................../recipe/3423386/Molinberry+SF+Tests


**Big Watermelon {Molinberry) 6% (1-26-20)** -- Mmmm, this one's a great Watermelon. Right out of the gate, on the first vape I knew it. At 6% this was very nice and full, middle level sweet, with a very intelligent mix of the red and white parts. Mid-low, mid, and high notes were all present. Very watermelon-ey. It actually leaned quite heavily to natural as opposed to artificial, and just NOT sweet enough as to be a candied WM. This actually might be a close 2nd to MF WM, and that IS saying something. It's natural leaning pushes out LA's WM IMO. Can't stop vaping this one, and it could be a solo at this percentage, or easily tossed into a myriad of mixes including Dragon's Bloods. **9.9/10**, small take off for no rind.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Butter My Biscuit (Molinberry) 6% (1-26-20)** -- FIRST Molinberry out of the gate, and what the HELL is this one ?? !! Do I have your attention LOL ?? OK, the moment you vape this, you get literally SMACKED by the Butter. Not a smidge, a dab, a bit, literally right between the eyes. Wow, didn't see that coming from a "non-triangle" formulation. Once you get past the shockingly good butter, the biscuit starts to reveal itself. This is not an INW Biscuit which is more like an American Bisquik, but more like Jungle Flavors biscuit which is more of a European biscuit. It has some sweetness, but lower in the scale, with a convincing bakery finish, which has a subtle note, perhaps a slight almond maybe ?? Now I'm quite sure not many of you, just go out and single flavor test a biscuit, but that's why you're reading this LOL. As a SF it is an interesting one, and even with the slight sweetness and probably almond-ish undertone, the overwhelming buttery nature of it, will lead to a LOT of uses for this one. For a buttery biscuit, or a really buttery biscuit, Molinberry nailed this one. Easily **9.5/10**.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**C’mon Cina’Bun {Molinberry) 6% (2-2-20)** -- Getting near the bottom of the deck on this group, and henceforth C'mon Cina'Bun will be known as CC. Alright, at one level, testing this at 6% MIGHT have been risky, because you never know with the Cinna. At this percentage, it was actually surprisingly light. It's closest brother would be CAP's CDS. Now, they're not identical, but that's the ballpark. Nice, somewhat laid back cinnamon, and some bakery thrown in for good measure. I would have preferred a stronger overall vape (duh dummy, up the percentage). I may re-test later, just to see if it goes past it's upper limit, or gets stronger/fuller. As it is, it's not terrible, but just fairly laid back. Could easily be a back baser to firm up a base, BUT, if this is being marketed as a "one shot", your mileage will vary. As it stands, nothing off-putting, def. not overpowered at this %, and the bakery elements sat nicely in with the cinna. Leaving this one at **6.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Cookie Bite {Molinberry) 6% (1-28-20)** -- Alright, I've had THIS taste in my mouth before LOL. OK, FIRST things first, my review for the Butter My Biscuit, because THAT is in HERE !!!! Now before you go running screaming "Recycle", hear me out. OK, clearly it's the same as the BMB, BUT, Molinberry was slick enough to reinvent it so to speak. The almond (I think) that I got in the BMB is stronger now, with a slight-somewhat reduction in the butter (but it's still IN there), and maybe ticked the sweetness up a tick or two, and now you have, ... Cookie Bite. I'm pretty damned good at picking up on all order of chocolates, and I'm not getting that here, so as far as a cookie goes, I would have to say NOT a chocolate chip at all, more like a buttery, almondy, bakery cookie type. Now I'm still trying to really make sure it's almondy, it might even be a lighter pecan, but either way, you get the picture. Is it good, or is it just a recycle of another flavor ? It's a surprisingly GOOD recycle, how about that. Had I tried THIS one first, I would have then said IT was in the Butter My Biscuit, so you get the drift. Fairly full with hints of being rich, buttery, almondy/pecany undertones, with a nice bakery finish, and that about sums it up. It's pretty convincing as a unique (to me) cookie, and for that it gets a lot of points. ADV ?? Maybe. Would choco hurt or help ? I think it depends on which one(s). As it stands, MB has a nice lil' buttery cookie here, and I feel good leaving it at **8.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Legendary Custard {Molinberry) 6% (1-27-20)** -- Legendary, ehhh ?? We'll see about that. It takes some stones to call something Legendary, and not expect people to review it as such. Alrighty, another cus-tard. I hate testing (when publicly posted) custards, because everyone has a different like/dislike. European Custard, American Custard, ehh. For my preference, I like a less eggy, more pudding-like custard. Perhaps that's a pudding and not a custard, but who's to say. Alright, what DID Molinberry do with this one. This one didn't beat me about the face with an egg hammer, so that was a plus for me. It honestly (first impression) reminded me of 70% vanilla pudding, and 30% INW Custard. The INW was fairly egg forward to me, so this one had some in there, but it wasn't overwhelming. The Vanilla and Pudding-ish elements lead the egg. At 6% it was actually lower, to mid-low on the sweetness, and fairly full. Overall this one WAS to my tastes on "Custard", with maybe even still a smidge too much egg (I know, I know, there's EGGS in da custard). I have problems vaping too egg heavy custards, but this one I could work with. Vape, vape, vaping it revealed nothing new, but every once in a while, I got an extra pudding-like boost poking through. The Vanilla element was brighter and non-spicy, which worked towards leaning pudding. Legendary ?? Maybe not. Good damn Custard that didn't lean too much to the egg ?? Yes. If you favor custards with less egg, and more of a pudding element like I do, you should try this one out. On the exhale, I was getting a wispy note of something, that was not off-putting, and actually worked here, and am struggling to identify it. At first I thought it was a whisper of wintergreen, but that's misleading. Milkshake element perhaps, but only just barely there. Dammit, I think that throws this one into the category of "complex". With that, I think we can leave this very firmly at a **9/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Nut Banana {Molinberry) 6% (1-28-20)** -- I can't confess to mixing up many Nut Nana's so beyond my experience with TPA's Banana Nut Bread, I don't have much to compare this to, even though it's not a "bread" flavor. Now Banana's I have a LOT of experience with, so MB better watch out in that regard. Ok, as a mix in total, I wasn't a huge fan of this one. Not that it's terrible, I mean the banana was fair, the Nut was fairly low if non-existent, and I did get some twinges of almost an artificial sweetener on the exhale at times, but it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't really stellar to me. So so banana, with not much nut, just kind of bleh. Now, everyone's different so you are encouraged to form your own opinions, but for me, this was one that I could probably skip. With that said, for a so-so flavor, **6.5/10** feels about right. Next .....
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Red Cherry {Molinberry) 6% (1-26-20)** -- Cherries, plain SCARE me, as I've had either way too strong, or way too medicinal for my tastes, so I'm always reluctant to test them. Having never used this, researched quite a bit to try and settle on a 6% testing weight for it. At 6%, it was actually a very good cherry. Medium sweetness, red cherry, with just enough sweet and tart to convince you it's a cherry. Now, I DID get some off notes on the finish at this percentage, after 2 weeks steeping, so I think I will RE-test it lower at 3.5-4.0% before giving a final rating. I do remember teetering back and forth between going with 4-6, but 6 might be pushing it too far. Even with the off note on the finish, the nice red cherry can be had throughout which leaves a lot of hope for this one. I could see it pairing very well with INW Cherries, ratio to be determined. For a good red cherry mixer/baser this one will work, but I would advise going below 6%. Stay tuned for the lower tester update.

*** RE-TEST *** Red Cherry (Molinberry) 3% (2-2-20) -- OK, I don't do many re-tests, but I sure love cherries, and I need to add more of them to my go to stash. First things first, SUCCESS !!!!! By cutting this one in half to 3% ALL offending/off notes have LEFT the building. Let's re-evaluate this one. This one sits right in the middle of the cherry darkness scale, not super bright, or dark, but in the middle, and it DOES impart a nice red cherry. Even cut in half, this one still has a perfect amount of sweetness, and was actually pretty full at this reduced rate. Had some tart undertones to help move it along, and finished exactly like it started. Super pleased to see reducing this removed the off-note finish I had been getting at 6%. While chain vaping this one, I did keep thinking that pairing this with INW Cherries would be a perfect one two punch. Throw in some CAP Silverline's Rainbow Candy to kick it up a notch (thank you @AlfredPudding), with maybe a pinch of sour if needed, and there you go. I wish I always had time to re-test when flavors went off the rails, but I don't. This one worked out GREAT, and now we can finally lay this to rest @ 3%. Too good to not go high on this one. **9/10**.

______________________________________________________________________________________

**Shape Up Pear {Molinberry) 6% (1-29-20)** -- Getting near the end of the first batch, and a Pear's on deck. Smelled great in the bottle, and vaped great too. This one was an easy one to vape, and it portrayed a good pear @ 6%. Mid level sweetness, somewhat artificial, but not in an offputting way. Having just finished my Medicine Flower tests, this one wasn't able to super accurately taste like you were eating a pear, like MF, but it was still plenty good. Covered the spectrum of the pear notes nicely, and it was hard to find fault with it. In direct comparison to MF's this one seemed less natural, slightly less accurate, but a good Pear none the less. **8/10**.



Series II Mixing Now .........


**Classic Sponge Cake (Molinberry) 4% (2-14-21)** -- This presented as a lighter flavor than many of the other MB's so I had to invest in a second tankful to make sure to get a read on it. Def. got a lighter cake from it, with above level sweetness, and no icing, which was perfect. @ 4% it was a relaxed flavor, so pairing with it would require some restraint as to not overwhelm it. As it stood, a very nice, lighter cake with just enough sweet and bakery to sell it. Try as I did, I couldn't really nail down any direction for the cake, i.e. Vanilla, etc., as it was fairly neutral. I did slightly get some of MB's tried and true BMB bakery in here, at a very low level, but I could detect it. Somewhat in the same ballpark as Flavor West's Yellow Cake, and Jungle Flavor's, but more delicate, and more neutral. There were some light buttery elements in there, but I wouldn't call it rich. Surprisingly, even after 2 tankers, I wasn't fatigued, so that's always a good sign. A fairly neutral, sweetened cake, that was somewhat relaxed, with no icing, this one did what is was supposed to. **8.75/10**.

**Lemon Tart (Molinberry) 3% (2-15-21)** -- It appears as if Lemon Tarts are becoming the rage now, and I wanted to make sure to test this one as well. Smelled really good and accurate in the tank, and vaping it, it seemed to loose some focus, and almost went 2 dimensional. Not bad by any means, and the two main elements were present, Lemon and Bakery, and they were mated well. Continued vaping revealed to my tastes, this one would be a solid "baser" and could be pushed/pulled as needed. It's hard to explain the 2 dimensional aspects here, but it was like some of the high end (lemon punch), and low end (bakery/crust) had been culled, and the middle section was left. Again, not terrible, but for my tastes, would need to be boosted. Sweetness was about mid level, and nothing off-putting could be found, and the lemon while somewhat laid back appeared to be half natural, half artificial. Perhaps re-testing at a higher rate, might firm it up, and if so, I will update this review. Generally a good one, but just lackluster. **7.0/10**.

**Milkshake (Molinberry) 5% (2-13-21)** -- This one was a WOW right out of the gate. A clean milkshake with hints of Vanilla, and a delicious creamy mouthfeel that rode all the way through the vape. No off-putting notes in this one, and the texture and mouthfeel were very present and worked almost flavwlessly here. No sour notes, no BA, and the cream notes danced between a milk and then a cream. Quite an interesting vape. Completely convincing to its namesake, and might just be the best Milkshake I've tried. Slight, almost malted notes at the very end of the vape, but the entire vape up to that point was clean, sweet, and creamy. Worked through two tanks figuring something would rear it's ugly head, but nothing did. If you want a great lightly vanilla-d milkshake with plenty of cream and milk, with good mouthfeel, this one WILL do it for you. The texture, and mouthfeel def. help sell it, and they sell it good. Will review my other notes, as there's a lot of them, but this may just be the best MS yet. **10/10**.

**Soft Baked Cookie (Molinberry) 4% (2-13-21)** -- Squeaking in a few of these as I have time. This one turned out to be exactly what they said it was, a smooth cookie base, nothing more, nothing less. Many cookies are nudged one direction or another, which can limit their uses, but this one was absolutely neutral, and no choco, almond, or any other clear elements added, which left it dead, spot on, in the base camp. It wasn't a terrible SFT, nor a terribly exciting one, hehe, but such is the nature of testing. At times it leaned almost towards a Toll House (but without any choco chips), and others it leaned slightly darker. @ 4%, it was actually somewhat lighter than expected, with mid level sweetness. It had some similarities to MB's "Butter My Biscuit", but with a much more relaxed bakery, and reduced butter. If you have the BMB, and like it, think of this one as a reducted version of that. With it's clean neutralness, a baser is exactly where and how you would use this one, tempering it to whichever direction you needed to go. All in, pretty convincing, and although SFT'ing isn't always exciting with "one-shot"-ish flavors, it's the pieces and parts that make the recipe. Placing this at a nice **8.75/10**.

**Strawberry Milk (Molinberry) 4.5% (2-7-21)** -- Firing up for some more Molinberry's with this Strawberry Milk. Out of the gate, I would say this is a one-shot, meaning it's good to go as is, and no need to tweak it at all.



Yeah, it's that simple, and that good. Now you could push the dairy if you wanted, or sharpen up the SB as well, but if you didn't, you wouldn't mind a bit. The SB was more artificial than real, but it suited this mix, with a nice smooth dairy, which really gave the impression of milk. Nothing malted, or forceful in it, but just a nice, clean dairy note, that was paired perfectly with the SB. This one was soo good that I had almost finished off the second tank before I remembered to review it, and that's always a good sign. 4.5% felt really good, nothing off-putting, with a bump above mid-level sweetness. For a seemingly simple 2 element flavor, it was a very nice vape, and kept me interested. Easily a **9.8/10**.

Click to expand...

Yeah, why the F not !!!! I'm not sure what propelled me into picking up 17, but 17 I did. Mixing these now and will let them steep for at least a week, maybe a week and a half. ALL will be mixed at the percentages listed, and tested on none other than my beloved SteamCrave RDTA v.1, with dual vertical Kanthal 24 ga. single wrap coils, with dry burned coils and fresh KGD cotton before each test. Older flavors, so let's see how they fare after all these years.


https://..................../recipe/1489171/Liquid Barn Multiple Flavor Test

https://www.liquidbarn.com/collections/all-flavors

**Banana (LB) 6% (3-13-21)** -- Let's kick off this 17 flavor run, with, the Nana. Most bananas typically fall into two categories, natural or artificial (runts candy). This one presented as an almost 40/60 split, with that being 40% natural, 60% artificial. Heavier on the runts candy, BUT, with some nicer mid notes favoring natural. Depending on what you are trying to create, you may prefer a more natural or artificial to suit your needs, and this one has both. I didn't get many high punchy notes from this one, and it was more centered around the mid, and low banana notes. At 6%, it didn't feel pushed, and I didn't get any off-putting notes. On the first vape, I thought "75% Banana", but wanted to continue vaping to pick out any other positives or negatives. Because it lived mostly in the mid and low profile regions, it had an almost creamy aspect to it, but not any added creams. Although leaning artificial, it wasn't off-putting or overwhelming, and could easily be used to build or accent a "runts" requirement. Sweetness was below mid-level, and this one would be a good baser/mixer to bolster any banana mix, wherein an all natural banana wasn't required. Felt solid at **7/10**.

**Belgian Waffle (LB) 7% (3-13-21)** -- Light, airy, and belgian were my initial thoughts on this one. Surprisingly light, and very airy @ 7%. I've seen comments that stated a weaker version of TPA's Belgian Waffle, and that's pretty close. The longer this one slept, the fuller it seemed to get, but even then, it was not an "In Your Face" waffle. Molasses and some bakery were present throughout the vape, with maybe some buttery notes, and a slight hint of maple syrup. Also some slight cinnamon notes could be had, but very low in the mix. Unsure if mixing this any higher would increase it's presence or not. Nothing off-putting, sweetness was lower than mid, but the lightness, and almost airy-ness of it, would make it harder to mix with, lest it get overpowered in the mix. It's hard to rate something on it's strength, as the profiles, nuances, and complexities are what really matter. For a fairly accurate BW, with some light butter, possible cinnamon (very light), and slight syrup, this one gets it done. Mixing with this will require special attention however, as it could easily be overcome. Another **7/10**.

**Coconut Milk (LB) 4% (3-13-21)** -- Let's face it, some Coconut's are terrible. Funky, oily, some are even greasy. The good news is here, no greasy's, and no oily's in this one. That's NEVER a bad start. Now, as far as the natural vs. candied/artificial, this one presented as almost 50/50 of each, leaning slightly towards the artificial/candied. It was not a dry, flaky coconut, but more of a (duh), creamed, somewhat milky combination. Sweetness was a tick above mid level, and overall the flavor felt pretty solid @ 4% without feeling overbearing or heavy handed. Continued vaping never pushed it into suntan lotion territory, but it DID have sort of a "twang" on the exhale. Having not tested LB's Lava Cake yet, I'm almost sure this one would pair nicely with it. As it stood, not a bad creamy coconut, that leaned artificial, with no overt greasy, or oily notes. No off-putting notes, except for a little twang on the tail end of the exhale, and that will be up to the individual whether or not thats a sparkle on the finish, or something else. Not sure if I'd call it a one-shotter, but surely it would excel in almost any need for a somewhat creamed coconut, that didn't require a 100% natural profile. All in, felt pretty good @ **7.5/10**.

**Cola Freeze (LB) 7.5% (3-13-21)** -- Wow, this MIGHT just be one of the BEST Cola flavors I've ever tried. Very authentic, with all the right accents, and proved to be a very convincing Cola. Everyone's tastes will vary, but to my tastes, it was more of an RC Cola, than a Coke or Pepsi, and that was fine, as I actually prefer RC Cola !!! About mid level sweet, with an almost fizzy end to it. No cooling that I could detect, and that was fine, as I'm not a big cooling fan. Felt nice at this testing weight, and was mid-level sweet, which was expected for a Cola. Emptied the tank on this one, and couldn't find any take-offs, or off-putting notes. A nicely convincing Cola, that was almost a spot on RC Cola for my tastes. **9/10**.

**Cream (LB) 4.5% (3-14-21)** -- Creams and Milks are the bane of my testing experience. They can be hard to quantify, and fully root out in a SFT, as many times, their effect, can really be felt IN a mix, not solo'd, BUT, test we shall. This presented as a somewhat sweet-ish vape, and was fairly non-descript. It wasn't loaded with creamery or milky notes, BUT, had a fairly creamy mouthfeel. Confused ?? Good. It had some similarities to a sweetened condensed milk, but without the overt milk notes. Nothing greasy or off-putting, and to fully realize it, it would have to be mixed in a recipe. As a solo, it was a surprisingly good vape. All in, as a mixer, with the mouthfeel provided, and some sweetened creamy aspects, this one should work well as a creamy baser/mixer. Nicely placed at a **6.8/10**.

**Fresh Cream (LB) 6% (3-14-21)** -- Alright, FRESH on the heels of testing LB's Cream, onto their Fresh Cream. This flavor is VERY similar to their Cream, but, with MO CREAM. Go figure, right ? This one presented almost identical to the aforementioned Cream, fairly non-descript, mid-level sweet flavor, with fairly good mouthfeel. This one differed from the Cream, with some more "creamery" elements thrown in. Not as in your face as some other MFG's creams, but it did step up the creamy game a bit. Still good mouthfeel, and ultimately, this one will be fleshed out when mixing with it. Still no off-putting notes, and felt nice @ 6%, and to my palate, will have to rate it higher than the Cream, for the increased creaminess **7.8/10**.

**Green Apple (LB) 4% (3-14-21)** -- Whew, this one packed a punch at 4% right out of the gate. I'm not a huge green apple fan, but I have a friend/client who is, and I've spent a great deal of time trying to dial it in. This one did scream Granny Smith, and it did so with a nice dose of tart and sweet on the inhale, with a nice sweet green apple on the exhale. The interesting thing is, the sour/tart didn't carry all the way to the finish. Interesting. At 4%, it appears to be one of the stronger flavors from LB, and despite not hitting the ceiling, could probably be dropped to 2.5-3.0 % depending on your needs. It did favor a more artificial but did have some natural notes. Nothing off-putting or chemical, which can be common in some GA's from other MFG's. Something's telling me that this COULD pair nicely with LB's own Sour Gummy. As a whole, it presented as a nice sweet, tour, hint of sour green apple. Nicely done, and felt good at **8.75/10**.

**Lava Cake (LB) 6% (3-14-21)** -- This one smelled really good in the bottle, and was waiting to get to it. Obvious similarities to another MFG's Chocolate Cake not withstanding, this one actually tasted very convincing. What I didn't get was a deep, dark chocolate, or any choco icing, but I did get a nice mid, and mid-dark chocolate cake. It did taste more like a boxed store bought cake, but a somewhat fluffy one at that. Although I didn't get any BandAids (sometimes common in some chocolates), it felt like it was leaning towards that direction, but not actually landing there. Because of that, I had no issues with the chocolate, and the cake portion was convincingly real, and paired nicely with the choco. At 6% I didn't get any strange notes, but I could see this one going sideways if pushed too high. This one almost screamed for some coconut, vanilla ice cream, or a touch of Medicine Flower Dark Chocolate to dress it up. Sure the cake could have been expanded on, and the richness, and fullness of the choco could be more fully flushed out, but on it's own, not bad, not bad at all. **8.0/10**.

**Orange Banana (LB) 9% (3-18-21)** -- I vaped this one over a period of days, just to make sure I was getting it. My initial thoughts were, "Orange peel oil". NOW, I don't mean it has oil in it, just the overlying profile. I could get some banana in there, but I had to work to get it. The orange/citrus/peel notes were actually quite good, BUT, due to the very low banana in the mix, as a medley the nana would have to be boosted, or orange cut for a better melding. The banana that I could get tasted ripe, and good, just a little too low for any real impact. Didn't feel heavy at this weight, and sweetness was below mid-level, and no off-putting notes. Be advised if you like orange, this one did almost have the peel/oil aspect(s) to it, which for me was great, but your palate will dictate that for you. All in, only real take offs would be for the low banana levels. Felt fair @ **6.5/10**.


**Peach (LB) 9% (3-20-21)** -- I love my peaches, and I always like to try new ones, just to see who's got what out there. This one came across as a nice, almost canned, yellow peach. Somewhat sweet, and it had an almost funky kick on the back end. At first, I couldn't tell if the funky kick was a plus or minus. Continued vaping leaned me towards it working. Possibly moving down to 7% might lessen this, but even at this testing weight, it almost added some authenticity to the peach. Somewhat candied, somewhat canned, but def. a yellow peach for sure. Felt pretty good at **7/10**.


**Pineapple (LB) 7.5% (3-21-21)** -- My current GO TO Pineapple is still VTA's Sugarloaf. Does this one even come close ? Meh, not really. It presented as a fairly neutral Pineapple, and at this testing weight, felt middling. Increased usage rates might wake it up, but it lacked a lot of the high end sparkle and punch that pushes great Pineapples. For what it was, it had mostly mid-body notes, mid level sweet, and leaned artificial. Not terrible by any means, but more of a baser or mixer than a main noter. Nothing off putting about it, just missing some pizazz. Leaving this one at **6/10**.

**Rainbow Sherbet (LB) 7.5% (3-21-21)** -- Having not tried many Sherbets, it's always a nice change to do so. This one although having some Sherbet characteristics, never really drove it all the way home. It presented as mainly an artificial-ish Raspberry, with some other non-descript fruits, with a fairly identifiable sherbet base. Sweetness was below mid-level which was interesting for a desert, and at this testing weight, nothing screamed out as off-putting. At times, the "fruit" notes almost reminded me of RFSC's Yumberry which is delicious, yet unidentifiable. This one wasn't as high on the delicious-ness scale, but shared the mostly unidentifiable quality. Would be fairly good as another baser/mixer, but that would be the limit. Not terrible, not great, just in the middle, and felt good at **5.5/10**.

**Sour Gummy (LB) 9% (3-21-21)** -- I'm always apprehensive about testing "additives" because you never know if you're going to blow you face off on a tankful of sour hehe. Thankfully, no one died during THIS test of Liquid Barn's Sour Gummy. When I saw that LB recommended 17%, I thought that seemed pretty damned high, and I backed it down to 9% which was fine. This one presented as a trivecta of Sour/Sweet/Gummy, with all three being equal, and without one stealing the show. I had expected it to be far more SOUR due to it's billing, but again, felt like three notes all combined. The Gummy was actually fairly accurate and convincing, the sweetness was a little above mid level, and the sour felt almost below mid level. If you're needing something REALLY sour, this may not cut it for you. Having never solo'd it until now, I mixed up a 70/30 mix of this and Liquid Barn's Green Apple for a co-worker, and he loved it, so additives DO have their place in this world. As a solo vape, not the exciting-ist vape, BUT, does it do what it claims ?? Yes, BUT, with a somewhat reduced sour, which with no aftertaste, off-notes, would really be the only take-off here. Works pretty good, but keep in mind, it's not going to top off your sour tank if it's on empty. Nicely done as an additive, and felt great at **7.8/10**.

**Strawberry (LB) 7% (3-21-21)** -- I think it was @Jojo a long time ago tested this one, and said she got some plastic from it. Well, now I know, what she meant. I did too. Not overwhelming, and didn't destroy the flavor, but there WAS an undertone in there that did present as almost plasticky. The Strawberry was somewhat relaxed at 7%, and def. not IN your face strong. It was almost entirely artificial with little to no real aspects, or at least not on top. There was a jammie quality about it, but I would not call it a Jammed Strawberry. Had plenty of bright notes that added to the sparkle on it, and mid body notes to round it out. I think with the crowded SB field out there, and your natural vs. artificial needs will dictate more than my description can. Sweetness was about mid level, and take offs for the almost plasticky note in this one, would be the big take off. After tasting the after note, I couldn't shake it, so pushing this one down a little @ **6.5/10**.

**Strawberry Cheesecake (LB) 9% (3-21-21)** -- I'm about 101% sure, that the previous flavor (Liquid Barn Strawberry) is in this mix as well, and the good news is, the somewhat plasticky note that I was getting from it solo, has abated in this mix. Great news !!!! Onto the Cheesecake. I think what you want from a cheesecake will dictate if you love or hate this one. Fairly artificial tasting overall, and the cheesecake, almost presented as more of a buttery, almost popcorn-y (at times) taste. At times I could pick up on some graham, but about every other vape, I kept thinking buttery, with slight popcorn ?? An interesting bakery/dairy combination to be sure. Def. no BA smell or taste, so no bitter, acidic cheese, which may appeal to some. The creamy element(s) here were fairly high, and effective, and the mouthfeel OF them, we evident. Just below mid level sweet, and again, the plastic from the LB SB was not present in this mix. This one may work out for quite a few people who want a less graham heavy, no cheese cheesecake, along with an artificial strawberry. Let YOUR tastes dictate if this is one for you or not, depending on your needs. The only real take-offs would have to be for the non-descript cheesecake, that wandered into buttery and slightly popcorny. Leaving this at **7.1/10**.

**Vanilla Ice Cream (LB) 4.5% (3-21-21)** -- The MOMENT is upon us. YES, I knew that 8% for Liquid Barn's Vanilla Ice Cream might be too high, and I did it ANY WAY !!! That was the average Single Flavor usage rate if you can believe it or not. OK, at that heavy weight, I didn't get any pepper, BUT, I'm not one who does get that from VIC's. NOW, with that said, I could tell the flavor was folding over on itself (signs of over flavoring). It didn't go sideways like I had thought, but I could TELL it was PAST it's saturation point. SO, I dropped it back down to a more reasonable (for single flavor testing) 4.5%. I have CHANGED the percentage listed above to reflect THIS testing weight.

At the new lower, 4.5% testing weight, guess what, the flavor was STILL great, just a lot clearer, more focused, and cleaner. In hopes that someone, ANYONE reading this, doesn't know about this flavor, or hasn't tried it yet, it IS, in my opinion the holy grail of Vanilla Ice Cream flavors. Slamming Vanilla notes on the inhale, superb mouthfeel and creaminess, and an almost buttery rich exhale. Yes, there are DIK's in this flavor. From Bull City Flavors page .......

> **Contains 35000 PPM Acetyl Propionyl**

Click to expand...

With that said, we can continue. As stated above, I've never gotten the "Black Pepper" effect from any VIC's before, nor this one, so YOU will have to try and then buy for yourselves. In a lot of ways, this reminded me of what Holy Vanilla did for Vanillas. At the NEW testing weight of 4.5%, I got no off-putting notes, no negatives at all, with about mid level sweetness. The richness of this flavor cannot be overstated. For a super rich and decadent Vanilla Ice Cream, that has an outstanding mouthfeel, and an almost buttery exhale, this one IS the one to get. If you are concerned about DIK's (DAAP's), then you would want to avoid this one. All in, hands down, the Vanilla Ice Cream Champion at an unquestionable **10/10**.

**Jungle Flavors / Flavor Jungle**

1st round of testing, mixing now.



https://..................../recipe/2712415/Jungle+Flavors%2FFlavor+Jungle+SF+Tests





1st round of JF single flavor testing. ALL tested on SteamCrave RDTA v.1, @ 55 watts, single wire Kanthal, 7 wrap coils @ 0.30 ohms, on the Para 250C. Fresh cotton, and dry burned coils before every test. Percentages varied by flavor. All steeped 1.5 + weeks plus.

**Honey Peach (Jungle Flavors) 2.5% (10-26-18)** -- Since one of my favorite mixing peaches is currently TPA Juicy Peach, even though it's weak, this one sounded very interesting for my profile and needs. Out of the gate it was a WINNER !!! Now as a disclaimer I've had some AWFUL trouble with some honeys' in the past, so I was a little skeeered to vape it up, but FEAR NOT, this one IS a gem. At 2.5% it was perfectly hard hitting, without being overbearing or past it's upper limits. Less sweet than I would have thought, and perhaps, similar to CAP Yellow Peach, but this one is in a different league. It might even benefit from a little sweet kick from some Stevia, so fear not about it being over sweetened. It is NOT a juicy peach like TPA's, but really more of a fresh, yellow peach, BUT, there's a kicker in here. Thankfully for me (my fear runs deep) it is NOT honey, at least to my taste, but I'm thinking maybe a hint of nectarine, or better yet, maybe a apricot kick. The more I think about it, I think it might BE an apricot kicker. Either way, it's very full, delicious, and with the "kicker" that's in there, it bends slightly away from a typical peach, into something different, and better. I can see why they named it Honey Peach, and it's good. I am on the 2nd 3ml tanker and I'm struggling to find something I don't like about it, ....... I can't. **10/10**.

**Strawberry Sweet (Jungle Flavors) 5.0% (10-26-18)** -- Out of the gate, this one impressed. Very solid SB with depth. Mixed @ 5.0% it was very full and rich (as rich as a SB could be that is). Nothing off putting, or artificial tasting, but a great ripened strawberry. Not really a fresh per se, and had a tough of jammy-ness to it. I would rate it higher than CAP's Sweet SB, but only a notch or two, as it seemed fuller, and perhaps more versatile. On a second tester tank if that's any sign. Struggling to find an SB that I would compare it to, but maybe OOO Strawberry Ripe would be in the same ball park. For a jammy infused, ripe strawberry, that has just the right amount of sweetness this will work for you. **9.3/10**.

**Yellow Cake (Jungle Flavors) 5.0% (10-26-18)** -- I think everyone who loves or has used FW Yellow Cake would love it, if it weren't for the sugar. Hearing rumors about JF's YC couldn't not get it. Mixed it @5% and this level it was a damned good Yellow Cake, no if's and's or but's. Already I can tell it is AS good, if not better than FW's version, but without any sugar. Yellow Cake fans rejoice. Had nothing off putting, or anything that got in the way of a simple YC. Didn't feel overdone at this strength, sweetness was good, and it was balanced nicely. Not sure how to elaborate more on this, but if you need a YC flavor, without any sugar, this one WILL do it for you. Spot on @ **10/10**.

**Honey Dew Melon (Jungle Flavors) 1.8% (10-29-18)** -- I have vaped more than a few Honey Dew Mellons and am pretty aware of the pitfalls, shortcomings, and olfactory offenses that I've experienced. Many times when SF testing, the moment you take a vape of a new flavor you immediately think of a similar flavor. That happened with this one, and it immediately reminded me of none other than Medicine Flower's HDM. Now before I overcharge the flux capacitor and blow up the universe, it's not quite that good, BUT, it's in the same arena (that means very good). It's a very rich, green, and fresh tasting HDM. It's a tad sweeter than MF's, and higher than average sweetness, but that's not a terrible thing here, but worth noting. Lots and lots of nice green melon with the inner and outer fleshy parts, with maybe a hint of rind. This does NOT come across near as effortlessly natural as the MF does, but once again, it's in the ballpark. @estorm cautioned some of the Jungle Flavors were strong, and this is one of the stronger ones. @ 1.8% but could probably range lower @ 1.0-1.5%. Very smooth, with an apparent mix of the green parts, with good sweetness, and very smooth. Not harsh, off putting, or overtly artificial, even at this strength. Almost getting two different notes, one on inhale, and another on exhale, both great. This is the 6th winner in a row from JF for me. **9.6/10**.

**Cocoa (Jungle Flavors) 1.5% (10-28-18)** -- Having only vaped ONE (I think Cocoa) so far (FA Cocoa) and being stricken with it's utter coil destroying ways, I was a little apprehensive in trying another, but try I must. First things, this one is clear, clear, CLEAR. What ?? How is that possible ?? At the low 1.5% strength, and after 2 weeks steep, this one looks to be another GEM from JF. Smells like it, tastes like it, but doesn't gunk coils like it ?? Can't compare to any other than FA's, and it is in the same ballpark, without the gunking, and dryness that I got from the FA. Accuracy was pretty spot on, sweetness was at the mid point, with a nice even, mid to mid-dark cocoa. They really got this one pretty nailed down. Not a milk chocolate, nor a dark chocolate, but right smack dab in the middle of the cocoa road. No bitters, or dryness here, tastes pretty natural with no chemical, artificial, or off putting notes. Now this is NO Medicine Flower Dark Chocolate, but it's not trying to be. I could see using this QUITE often, and am glad I bought a mini jug of it on sale no less. Going to toss this into one of my S'mores to really see what's what, but at this point, this will be the fifth Jungle Flavor win in a row. One thing I noticed vaping it at 65 watts, I didn't get any burning from it, as many chocolates do not like higher wattages, even though 65 watts isn't terribly high. Having a hard time knocking it down, maybe 0.5 for a slight lack of richness/depth, but it's just too damned tasty for being so clear, and non-gunking. **9.5/10**.

**Biscuit (Jungle Flavors) 3.0% (10-27-18)** -- I felt I already knew this flavor before testing it, as I read countless reviews stating it was JUST like a perfect pairing of INW Biscuit, and FA Cookie. Well, that's about as RIGHT as it gets. I actually can't think of a better description than that INW Biscuit + FA Cookie = JF Biscuit !!!!
It's actually quite an interesting blend (if not exactly those two companies flavors, but profiles for sure). INW Biscuit is more of an American biscuit like Bisquick, and FA Cookie is more like a European biscuit which would lean towards more cookie-ish. Pairing these two profiles yields a very interesting result. Actually vaped the entire tester which I didn't see coming. I can already see countless uses for this, mostly bakery obviously, crust enhancements, some graininess, etc. The slight sweetness could really shift things in mixes, and probably in a good way at that. At 3% it was very full with just a hint of sweet, not overly dry, with nothing off putting, harsh, or artificial tasting. **9.5/10**.



**Series II Mixing Now:**

One Shots:

**Apple Fritter (Jungle Flavors) 11% (12-20-20)** -- First Jungle Flavors One Shot on deck, and perfect for the Holidays. I could smell the dough element when mixing, and wasn't sure about how it would fare vaping, but it quickly became obvious, it just worked. The dough actually worked very well, as it portrayed both a baked, and almost undercooked dough at the same time, which perfectly suited a Fritter. The apple elements tasted somewhat unique, and were a great choice for this one shot, as they were not a typical "pie filling", not heavy on the cinnamon, which really worked here. Almost a Fuji-ish punch on the top end, and overall it leaned more towards a fresh apple, than a filling apple. Slight amounts of spice but very low in the mix, so as not to overwhelm the apples and dough. Sweetness was mid level, and as a total vape, it really worked, and tasted different, which helped elevate it from the typical apple bakeries out there. Def. a tester tank finisher for me. Handily handing it up at a **9.5/10**.

**Donut Holes (Jungle Flavors) 12.5% (12-20-20)** -- Five days before Christmas and I need a Donut Vape !!! Did I get one, or a lump of coal ?? I got one !!!!! For starters, this is probably one of the BEST Donut flavor/one-shots I have tried, and that's saying something. I may have detected some of my old friend FA Zeppola in here, but it tasted like a bit more than just that. The donut notes were fresh and fried if that makes sense, along with a nice helping of glazed sugar. It sat at about mid level sweet, which is fine for a donut. "Just say NO to PlayDoh" and this one does just that. I couldn't detect any heavy notes to sway the donut/dough which left it neutral, but could easily be spiked with Strawberry, Raspberry, etc. if needed. As it stood, for a 50/50 dough/fried dough donut, with a delicious glazed coating, this one did exactly that, and never left you wanting. Feels perfectly donuty good @ **9.8/10**.

**Mango Mafia (Jungle Flavors) 12% (12-20-20)** – I’d heard from more than one user that this MM was their favorite, and I might just know why now. It’s a BOMB in MANGO form for sure. Admittedly I’m not a huge fruit’er, but this one, might have changed that. The mango was full, present, and in your face throughout the entire vape. It was full spectrum with dark, mid, and high end punch, so nothing was left out of this Mafia party. Def. a complex mix, and at times I couldn’t help but wonder if JF threw in some of their Honey Peach to this one, but that is not confirmed. Sweetness was maybe a tick above mid level, but not fatiguing, and I checked by blowing through two tester tanks on this one. A very natural tasting, full spectrum Mango is what you get with this one, and coming from a non-fruit guy, couldn’t go lower than **9.8/10** .

**Strawberry Bubble Gum (Jungle Flavors) 9.5% (12-21-20)** -- I've tried some ehh, and pretty bad bubblegums before, and thankfully this one, was neither. It actually presented as a very GOOD bubblegum, BUT, with a twist. The Strawberry. It was layered into the mix fairly low, so as not to overwhelm the bubblegum. The BBG was pink, accurate, and quite tasty, and it was very close to a "BubbleYum" flavor. The strawberry, while somewhat lower in the mix, did a really good job of shifting the bubble gum, but just a bit. Not an overpowering SB, dragging the gum along for the ride, but more of an accent TO the bubble gum. I think it was a wise, and different choice, and vaping it, throughout two tankfuls, it never wandered. Sweetness was about mid level, and great for a bubblegum, and even after 2 tanks, I couldn't pull any off-putting, or chemical notes out of it. You can't blow bubbles with this one, but you'd almost think you could. Very nice, not overly complex different take on bubble gum. **9.7/10**.

**Tiger's Blood (Jungle Flavors) 15% (12-22-20)** -- I smelled this one while mixing up this series, and did a double take. Wait, this is a Tiger's Blood ?? !!!! From the Flavor Jungle .............

> Add the sweet taste of a fruit cocktail with watermelon, cherry, kiwi, and honeydew to your next DIY recipe!

Click to expand...

Wait, Cherry, Kiwi, and Honeydew ?? !! OK, this was NOT was I was used to in regards to a TB, so figured we'd close out this series with an enigma. Blasphemy or Godliness ?? I tried to check my "Reservations" at the door. I'm not sure if this will replace my more typical TB, but it was a fairly interesting fruit cocktail. I was picking up the WM, Cherry, Kiwi, and Honeydew, and as a blend, it WAS indeed, quite interesting. Nothing felt out of place in this (new to me) mashup, and it actually worked well. Sweetness was below mid level, and strangely enough, kept me interested throughout the tankful. Not being a huge fruit-ster, it takes a bit to get, and keep me interested in a fruit medley. This one had just enough tart, and sweet to keep it interesting, and the unexpected (to me) combination kept it that way. My favorite aspect of this one would probably be the tart cherry finish on it. Would I label this a TB ?? Probably not. Would I pick up a bottle ?? Yes. :slight_smile: Tartly at a **9.0/10**.

All in, an impressive showing from Jungle Flavors. Huge thanks out to them for sending these out to be reviewed. Some were expected but great, and a few surpises. Very worth picking some up.


https://flavorjungle.com/collections/flavor-jungle-one-shots


https://forum...................../...-all-in-one-base-camp/227738?u=sessiondrummer

All mixed 7-28-17, steeped 2 weeks, 70v/30p, on dual kanthal coils @ .33ohms on Steam Crave RDTA v.1. Dry burn coils and fresh cotton before each flavor for clarity. Also these flavors were evaluated purely as single flavors and @ percentages listed below. Differing percentages, and/or mixing could be very different. Milk Chocolate @ 1%, Vanilla Pudding, Whipped Cream, and Marshmallow @ 4%. Cookie and Cookie Dough @ 2.5%.






**Milk Chocolate (Flavorah) 1% (8-22-17)** -- Realizing that chocolates are some of the harder flavors to get right, did not know what this held in store for me. Had been warned this was very strong, and they were right. @ 1% it was still too strong, which makes a complete evaluation hard. Overall actually was quite good. As stated, a little too strong @ 1%, but you could still define the clear notes of a good MC. Not dry or bitter, but this one will HAVE to be re-tested @ .5%. As it stands, even stronger than desired, it's overall flavor was very good. Easy **8.5/10**. Will re-test @ .5% and adjust as needed.

**Vanilla Pudding (Flavorah) 4% (8-22-17)** -- I've yet to find a pudding that really gets it right, so excitement was in the air waiting for this one. Fresh in the tank it was quite good. Sweetness, some nilla, and some of the hard to explain aspects of pudding. This could easily be spiked up with some more vanilla, or even a choco to switch it up. Very surprised by this one, and actually finished the tester tank of it. **9/10**.


**Marshmallow (Flavorah) 4% (8-22-17)** -- Heard rumors that there were chocolate notes in a Marshmallow ??? YES there are. Not sure how or why they did it, but they did. Very good overall mix, sweetness was about perfect. Sweetness and some mouthfeel on the inhale, and you can almost taste the slightly crisper outer layer of the MM on the exhale, along with some unexpected chocolate notes, very subtle, but there, and strangely it works very good. I can DEF. see this working in one of my fav. S'more recipies. Can't go lower than a **9.5/10** on this one.

**Cookie (Flavorah) 2.5% (4-28-18)** -- Is there a cookie in the house ?? YES, there is. Soo many different cookies out there, and many are different. This one was quite solid @ 2.5%, great slightly sweet, bakery cookie. Maybe a hint of butter elements, but subtle. No choco in this one, but that's ok. I think the closest comparison would be FA Cookie, in that it's a solid yet laid back cookie, and def. leans towards the dry side. **8.5/10**.

**Cookie Dough (Flavorah) 2.5% (4-28-18)** -- I love cookie dough, so any CD flavor is going to have to work for it. Let this one steep for over 2 weeks as I read other comments stating that was a good starting time. This one was VERY full and rich @ 2.5%, surprisingly so almost. Wasn't as much of the dough as I would have thought, BUT, what it has is a VERY good oatmeal cookie flavor. Sure there's some cookie dough in there, but the main profile to my tasting is a delicious oatmeal cookie dough-ish flavor. Nothing off putting, and wow, for a NOT Oatmeal Cookie, sure seems like a GREAT one. **9.5/10**.

**Updates --- 3-29-21 --- NEW flavors released --- Mixing Now**



**Blackberry (Flavorah) 0.6% (4-3-21)** -- FIRST ONE on deck, and WOW. This is/was/is a great one, right out of the gate. Having only a few Blackberries I use, I am always on the prowl for a new one to add to the list. Most of the BB's I've tried always seem to be lacking in one way or the other, so finding the "Full Monty" is difficult. At 0.6% this one really dropped ALL the right notes. It did seem like it COULD be increased, and I'm thinking maybe more of a 1.0 - 1.4% to make it POP. As it stood, it tasted like a mostly natural, somewhat sweet, mid darkness blackberry, and it almost had some seed elements in there. Much to my happiness there were NO florals or soapy-ness that I've had with a few others, but just a very well rounded BB. I can't think of a direct comparison, as it's "roundness" was somewhat unique, and every once in a while I was greeted with a little bright sparkle or tartness on the finish, BUT, just barely. It leaned more towards the sweeter, mid-bodied Blackberry, and although at about mid-level sweet, I think it would DEF. benefit from a little TART to help kick it off. It was soo well rounded, and tasty, I could see it working almost anywhere you need a BB. This tastes like a flavor that Flavorah clearly spent some time getting right. **9.5/10**.

**Blue Raz (Flavorah) 1% (4-3-21)** -- Whoop, another smoker here folks. While admittedly not using Blue Raz's much, I do like them from time to time, so this was an interesting test(er) for me. @smokyblue mentioned this one was a "One-Shot" out of the gate, and I agree. A completely finished, well rounded B.Razz with just enough tart, and sweet to keep you interested. At 1% it tasted very full and complete, with no off notes, or ceiling slamming strange-ness. While power vaping though the tester tank, I was looking hard for anything that would kick this one down a notch or two and couldn't find any. It did feel like a one-shot, and a good one at that. You could possibly kick it up a little in strength, but it was pretty solid at this testing weight. I know this doesn't help when reading a review, but many times while testing I kept thinking, "Bluuuuuuuuue", LOL. When smelling it in the bottle, the tart/sour smelled stronger than it presented when vaping, and it really sat JUST where it should in the mix. Nice blue with raz, with nice helpings of sweet and tart, and nothing off-putting, put this up on top. If you're in need for a B Raz, add this one to your short list. **9.9/10**.

**Cactus Apple (Flavorah) 0.4% (4-4-21)** -- Before starting this flavor review, I reflected back on how I could NOT vape INW Cactus, the go to flavor for adding jucy-ness to mixes. Something about the flavor, I just couldn't get past. Like vaping Aloe Vera ?? Soo, with that said, there WAS a certain amount of trepidation in testing another cactus. Upon first vape, I was greeted with a fair amount of natural tasting cactus, BUT, it was somehow tempered with a sweet, tart, green apple, that made it palatable for me. Shocking, didn't see THAT coming. The cactus tasted fairly natural, with the expected cactus "hue" as I call it, with no bitterness, gummy-ness, or off-putting notes. Flavorah may have made this flavor for me, hehe, as the paring with the green apple, really allowed me to vape this, almost enjoy it (gasp), and may open up cactus-ing for even more people. Because the cactus rode solidly in the middle spectrum, the apple appears to have been used to temper it, and allow for some sweet, tart punch. The pairing of the two works really well. If you are, were, or could be a non-cactus-er, you might want to give this one a try, as it could allow you to enter INTO the cactus frey. Somewhat earthy, and natural cactus, fully tempered, but not overshadowed by a sweet/tart green apple. **8.5/10**.

**Chai Spice (Flavorah) 0.5% (4-4-21)** -- My experience with Chai has always been fresh Chai Tea, and have NEVER vaped it before, so this will be another first. My perception of Chai has always been Cardamom, Fennel, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Black Pepper. Every time I've had fresh authentic Chai Tea, the aforementioned have always been present. Excitingly enough, most, if not all WERE present in this flavor, with maybe the exception of the black pepper (which ROCKS in fresh, hot tea). All elements were very nicely placed, such that I could not pick one as standing out, which was impressive. I had pre-concerns about Ginger, Cardamom, and Fennel presenting as to "bighty" or bitter, but there were hardly any bitter notes here, and somehow, Flavorah managed to temper this entire complex flavor with an almost creamy undertone, that while not overpowering, was always there, and almost a carrier for the aforementioned notes. As a sum total, it was quite realistic, accurate, and satisfying, which again, coming from a NON "spice" vaper, was a surprise. Felt plenty good and strong at 0.5%, and had no off-putting notes. Your mixing level will directly depend on how "spicy" you want your mix, and this could clearly run roughshod over a mix if used too high. I kept looking for any telltale cinnamon, but it was hard to find, so either it was missing, or just lower in the mix. All in, a pretty convincing, non bitter Chai spice that would work well anywhere Chai was desired. Chai Milk, Milkshake, Ice Cream ?? Pretty convincing for my tastes, and felt solid @ **9.1/10**.

**Energy Drink (Flavorah) 0.8% (4-4-21)** -- I don't know if I've ever even tried an Energy Drink, so if you need a direct comparison, you may want to keep on lookin'. With that little disclaimer out of the way, I talked with @SmokyBlue, and she said it was a "green" one, hehe, so there you go. The flavor itself was clear, and tasted almost soda like, and I was getting a diminished green apple with maybe a fruit or two more. Maybe a melon in there, but very hard to tell due to the balanced blending of the elements. Sweetness was below mid level, and at 0.8% it felt pretty good, with nothing off putting. There was a element in this, that almost reminded me of a multi-vitamin. Crazy, right ? It surely is the "energy" part, and it in no way was off-putting, and worked well in the mix, and almost gave it a sort of effervescence, which again, just worked in this flavor. It was hard to judge this, having no energy drink experience to compare it to, but solider on we shall. Just like the previous flavor, Chai Spice, this flavor might NOT be on some mixer's list as why would you vape an Energy Drink ?? Well the good news is, if you want to, or need it in a mix, you can. All in, an interesting drink profile with unique elements (assuming energy quality), with an almost fizzy quality to it. I'd probably stay at 0.8% or lower, as it could possibly take over a mix if left unchecked. As it tasted and vaped, will leave it at a handy **8.9/10**.

**Mango Pineapple Passion (Flavorah) 0.8% (4-4-21)** -- The first thoughts I had on this one were "Fruit Workhorse". A definite fruit medly, and the Mango took the lead, with the Pineapple somewhere behind it, and the Passion Fruit in last place. Now, this one might not be my favorite of the new releases, not because it's bad, just because it felt middling. I love the idea of the tri-fruit, but it presented with a lack of focus, and realize, this is as a solo, so the spotlight was on. In mixes, it could work far differently. Sweetness was nicely below mid level, and it felt plenty strong at 0.8% with no foul notes from it. As I continued to finish the tank, I kept wishing for some focus and clarity as to the direction of this one, and never got it, and may be my tastes. As a tripple fruit medley, or a baser, this one was above average, just not the star of the show. Nicely finished @ **7/10**.

**Mild Tobacco (Flavorah) 1% (4-6-21)** -- Before we begin a few disclaimers. I've NEVER been a big bacco vaper, so this WILL be another first. Second, typically (as with my custards) I like to let baccos steep for a month to fully mature, BUT I didn't want to drag these out, and to help get more people involved in Flavorah, and maybe encourage people to also try these NEW flavors. With THAT all said, you can call me a somewhat reluctant tobacco vaper/tester. This mild tobacco floored me from the first vape. Wow, it's that good. It presented as a fairly complex affair, with the main notes being a mild (duh) tobacco and a very rich caramel. Now, this is NOT as simple as just another RY4, as it had far MORE tobacco, and less caramel, or at least it appeared that way. The complexity of this one really kept me guessing as to exactly what notes were in here, and that is rare for me. Was I getting coffee, chocolate at times ?? Very hard to tell, and that my friends, IS complexity. The tobacco was full but not overly strong or bitter, and the "caramel wash" as I was calling it, just envoloped you during the vape. At times I even got almost smoky notes, but they kept moving in and out of focus, which really just left this one as a deliciously complex blend of a mid dark tobacco, and a very rich, yet not overpowering caramel. Perfect at 1%, with ZERO takeoffs for me. Going to finish this tester tank (two days running), and I do feel, **10/10** is warranted.

**Mint Candy (Flavorah) 0.6% (4-10-21)** -- Gave this one a little extra steep time, to make sure it was settled before testing. I had expected a green mint, but instead, got more of a blue peppermint and green mint candy. To my tastes, it leaned 65% peppermint, and 35% mint. It had some of the more typical dry finishing aspects, but didn't really take away from the flavor. The majority of the vape was tempered by a nice candy "smoothing" taste and effect. Although about mid level sweet, it did have very minor bitter notes, but again, very minor. I typically cannot vape any cooling agents, and I actually had no issues with this flavor, even with some minor "cooling" effect. The candy taste/effect was very expertly done and was very realistic. While admittedly not a huge user of mints, this one presented as a very good, realistic peppermint/mint candy that leaned to the peppermint, with no off-putting notes, and with very minor dryness, and bitter on the finish. At 0.6% it felt really full, and tasty without being heavy handed or ceiling pushing. If you are looking for a peppermint/mint combo that has some really good smooth candy underpinnings, this one will work for you. Leaving it solidly @ **8.5/10**.

**Pearesto (Flavorah) 0.8% (4-10-21)** -- This one continued to be a mystery to me from smelling it in the bottle, to during the steep, to vape testing it. I think I FINALLY have it figured out, BUT, hehe, you'll have to read on. This is indeed, a Pear. Nice, juicy, and fairly ripe, but with some fresh undertones built in for good measure. It DID have an intriguing note that persisted from beginning to end, and from smelling it in the bottle, to post-steep vaping. This note, MAY decide if this flavor is right for you, or not. To my tastes, it wasn't off-putting, but it continued to mystify me, up until JUST now. I know exactly what Flavorah was trying to reproduce, and that's the canned, sweetened pear taste. Ever eaten pear out of a can with syrup ?? It's not that it actually tastes LIKE a can, but there's just this "something", that you know when you taste it. I think THAT, is what Flavorah was trying to accomplish here. I struggled throughout TWO tester tanks to try and decide how to explain it, but I think I can. It's almost a CELERY note !!!! Yes, yes, I know how that sounds, and how you'll try and decipher how exactly a Pear with Celery might taste, hehe. It eluded me for QUITE a while, but I finally think THAT, is the best way to describe it. Now, what does that do, TO a Pear ?? It gives it a VERY close likeness to canned pears in syrup. Literally. NOW, this WILL be the deciding factor as to whether this is a hero or zero for you, so be advised, it's IN there. To me, despite the fact that once I decided it was celery-like, I couldn't UN-taste it, it really didn't hurt the flavor at all, and when comparing to the aforementioned canned/syrup pear taste, I think it DOES work, specifically for that type of flavor. Not off-putting (to me), and felt plenty strong at 0.8%, and sweetness was almost below mid level. What I DIDN'T get from this was any "sugar sand" effect, but that was about it. Some may say the "celery" that I was getting COULD be replication of the skin, and that could be in play as well. All in, a VERY interesting Pear, minus any sugar sand notes, but with some VERY unique "celery like" aspects that could mimic canned syrup pears, or even skin. The extra note(s) worked for me, so the only real take offs would be for the missing sugar-sand/grit. Very uniquely set at **9.2/10**.


**Ripe Mango (Flavorah) 0.8% (4-10-21)** -- Well there's NO mistaking you've got Mango in this one. Nice, full, rich, and plenty of mid body notes with this one. I haven't tried the Sweet Mango yet, and this one is almost 1/2 way to mid sweet, so it's more about the fruit and less about the sweet. Ripe IS the moral of the story here, and plenty of it, and I think that is what drove the MID region of notes in this one. A very few high sparkly notes, and some low end notes. Pretty damned natural to my tastes, and although 0.8% didn't feel too high, you could probably range this one 0.5-0.8%. Nothing out of place, and it DID leave me wanting just a few more high end sparkly notes on the top end. Perhaps the Sweet Mango will punch more of the high end, and it could be used in conjunction with this one, like we combine FLV's Coconut and Sweet Coconut. It was fairly juicy, and very true to it's name, and it had no off notes that I could pick up on. This one seemed like a really natural tasting, powerhouse, mid-region Mango, with a few high, and low notes, that was below mid level sweet. Very solid performer, and felt great at **8.5/10**.

**RY4 (Flavorah) 0.6% (4-10-21)** -- Wow, this one packed a PUNCH, and at only 0.6%. Not having a lot of bacco experience to pull from, this one was super charged, right out of the gate. It was like NO other RY4 I'd ever tried before. Most of them, were simply a medium to light tobacco with caramel. This one was a MUCH bolder, darker, heartier tobacco, with definite smoky notes, and almost coffee notes. There was some slightly sweet undertones with maybe some caramel, but much lower in the mix. I did keep focusing on the smoky-ness of it, and it appeared stronger when smelling out of the bottle than in the vape, but it's presence could not be ignored. It almost smelled smokier, and vaped more like a smoky coffee. VERY interesting, and complex. It continued to present darker, earthier tones, along with the bacco, and almost coffee smoky notes. It was PLENTY strong @ 0.6%, and might range from 0.4-0.8 depending on your needs. I can't speak to pairings as I don't really bacco very much at all. As it stood, this one, was very good, rich, and dark, with an almost smoky/coffee like finish, that was below mid level sweet. Coming from a non-bacco-er, this one surprised me, and testing it was an interesting affair. Very NOT like any RY4 I've tried before, so rating this will be complicated. It did not present as a light bacco with Caramel, but much, much more. My gut is telling me to rate high, purely out of the taste profiles alone, and the convincing aspects of the smoky/coffee notes. Too dark and smoky delicious to not go with a **9.5/10**.

**Sweet Mango (Flavorah) 1% (4-11-21)** -- As predicted, this one in comparison to Flavorah's Ripe Mango was brighter, punchier, and sweeter. I had guessed that these two, could be paired exactly like Flavorah's Coconut and Sweet Coconut. Why two mangos ?? Well, it would allow you to better USE the flavor(s) for whatever you need. This one shared many attributes of the Ripe Mango except sweeter, and with the increased sweetness, a perceived "fresh" boost. It tasted very nice and full at 1%, and had no off putting notes. For my tastes I think I like this Sweet Mango a little more than the Ripe Mango, as it was punchier and brighter, and I think that would allow it to carry better in mixes, and allow it to break through better. Depending on your needs, you may want to mix both the Sweet and Ripe, and to varying ratios depending on what you need. For a nice rich and full, more ripe and sweet Mango, this one should take care of your needs. Because my tastes favor the brighter/punchier, I'm rating this one a little higher than Flavorah's Ripe, just due to preference. Felt really good at **9.5/10**.

**Vanilla Tobacco (Flavorah) 0.8% (4-11-21)** -- LAST ONE on deck for this new series from Flavorah. Having now tested their RY4, and Mild Tobacco, I was curious to see if this one shared similarities. It did. It had many of the rich, deep, dark almost smoky tobacco as the two aforementioned, but this time, it was layered into a deliciously light vanilla carrier. Simplistically speaking, the Mild Tobacco had a great Caramel carrier, and this one has a great Vanilla Carrier, with the RY4 being the heavy standout, as far as increased smoky notes. This one tasted great @ 0.8%, and didn't feel like it was hitting the ceiling. It was below mid sweet, and the vanilla layer was very nicely blended in. At times I almost got more of the sweet than the Vanilla, but it was there throughout the vape. While not appearing as complex as the caramel in the Mild this one paired perfectly with the bacco notes, and held it's own, but didn't steal the limelight. The darker/smoky bacco notes from the other baccos was present here as well, but like the Mild, were slightly reduced to allow room for the carrier layer. All in, this one could be a GREAT first one for people wanting to delve into the world of baccos, without a slamming, in your face bacco. Finished the entire two testers on this one, and remember, I'm NOT a bacco vaper, hehe, so that should tell you something. Finishing out this series, this one had no real take-offs, except maybe for some linearity of the vanilla in comparison to the more complex caramel in the Mild. Feels, and felt really good @ **9.5/10**.

https://forum...................../...-all-in-one-base-camp/227738?u=sessiondrummer

Huge thanks out to @FlavorJungle for sending these out for review. All were mixed and tested at the percentages listed, and tested on a SteamCrave RDTA v.1 @ 65 watts on dual, vertical, Kanthal 24ga. 7 wrap coils. Fresh cotton and dry burned before every test, using KGD cotton.

**Lemon (Flavor Express) 3% (12-24-20)** -- Unless you've been living in a cave, you've heard of FE Lemon. Lemons can be a fickle bunch, some favor natural, others candied, and many just fade out making them surprisingly harder to get right than you would think. Flavor Express did a GREAT job with this one. To say they nailed "Lemon Heads" is an understatement, as this is EXACTLY a Lemon Heads flavor. It was a nicely candied lemon flavor that felt and tasted somewhat more complex than a simple candy lemon. Nicely sweet and tart, but never too much of either. No lemon pledge was present, and surprisingly this COULD be vaped solo. Plenty of high end sparkle, with mid and a few lower notes kept it interesting throughout the tank. I'm guessing this one would favor cereals, and bakeries slightly more than pure fruit mixes, and it's fading or lack thereof will have to be determined later. For a candied, lemon head flavor this is about as good as it gets. If you are a purist natural lemon-er you might not rate it as high, but as this stands, it's solidly a **9.9/10**.

**Mango (Flavor Express) 5% (12-26-20)** -- Lastly last one on deck from the generous folks over at Flavor Jungle (Jungle Flavors), and it is proving to be a lil' Mango Powerhouse !!!! I took Christmas off (as we all should), and picked back up today on the last Flavor Express flavor from FJ. Is is RARELY the case when testing flavors, that you can load a tank up, and on the FIRST VAPE, want to drop the tank, and write the review, right there on the spot. I had that impulse with this one, and NOT in a BAD way LOL. For me great Mangos are a rare breed, and most times need to be propped up with other flavors to really shine. This one, just didn't seem to need much, if any help. Super rich and almost "creamy" on it's own, and very, very full. Nothing off-putting, or overtly artificial here, and it felt super refreshing at 5%. You could almost feel the juice running down your hands as you got mouthful after mouthful of this yellowish-orange treat. Not having any "skin" to report, the fullness of this one could not be overstated, as it really hit just the right amount of darker, mid level, and a few high notes here. Just a full spectrum Mango assault on your senses. I'm about 90% sure this is what JF based their Mango Mafia on, and if so, a wise choice. I don't fruit very often, but flavors like this, almost have me questioning that decision. ZERO issues vaping this one as a solo, and it left me wanting nothing. Man this is a good one (as the second tankful is being filled). For all you "fruiters" out there (and maybe some of you not YET fruiters out there), this one can fulfill your Mango needs for sure. What a roundhouse kick way to end off this series. Thanks again out to my friends at Flavor Jungle (aka Jungle Flavors) for making this happen. Without a fruity doubt, **10/10**.

**Sweet Rice (Flavor Express) 4% (12-24-20)** -- I have used this one countless times, but never got around to SFT it until now. Right out of the gate, this one was deliciously accurate, creamy, and almost had some elements of a rice pudding. NOT a pudding flavor, but the creamy sweetness of it just led to that profile assumption. At 4% it was really good, and could go higher or lower. Nothing off-putting, and, it had about every aspect that you could want, in a "rice" flavor. Surprisingly good, as a solo, and despite not being overly complex, it did keep you interested throughout the tank. This should not be confused with a "crispy" rice, as it was not, and was more of a sticky, sweet, thai rice almost. Although you may not create a lot of "rice" recipes, this could clearly be used in a multitude of mixes none the less. Having no other "rices" in my stash, this one will stay in there, and I will probably start using this quite a bit. Accurate, sweet and cream rice is exactly what this one is. **9.8/10**.

https://..................../recipe/3776409/Flabor Labs Single Flavor Tests

Not barely ANY info on these flavors out there, beyond the ones that were in the "leak". Figured I'd try out a few, including the more well known ones. Decided on 6% for most, with the Wild Cherry @ 3%. Although their website looks a little wonky, it's legit, and I have ordered hundreds of $$ of flavors from them, no issues, no leaks, good shipping times. Mixing now, will let steep for 1+ week before testing.

All flavors tested at listed percentages, in a SteamCrave RDTA v.1, 65 watts, on dual vertical Kanthal 7 wrap, 24ga. coils, with fresh cotton and dry burned coils in between tests. All steeping 1+ week before testing.

**Apple Pie (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-25-20)** -- First one on deck, AND below the 10% guidline on their website. Who knows what's going to happen, hehe. OK, out of the gate, this one was fab-tab-ulous !!! I know, I know, who needs MORE flavors, and from a different company, BUT, review I must. On the first vape, this one presented almost as a One-Shot, as it had about everything you'd need or want in an apple pie. Almost like a darker version of FLV's Apple Filling, with some FA Apple Pie thrown in, BUT, there was more. It was almost if they had captured the doughy part of the pie crust. You know, the parts that aren't browned ?? They're in there. The filling portion was incredibly full, and rich at this weight, and did have some spice to it, but was evenly mixed at, or below the apples. The apples were cooked, and perfect, with a nice level of sweetness. As a whole, this one left nothing missing or to the imagination, and it really didn't need any tweaking to put it into full on Apple Pie status. The entire mix worked great at 6%, and you could even go lower, so that was a major question for me. Continued vaping revealed nothing off-putting, or out of place, and I emptied the tester to be sure. For a first solo for me, from Flavor Labs, this one started it out with a bang. For a incredibly rich, full, and accurate Apple Pie including the dough, and crust, this one WILL do it for you. As a solo 6% was plenty full, and you could step it back if needed. As it stands, handily a **9.9/10**.

**Bear Claw (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-25-20)** -- Second one on deck, and another great one. Now obviously all of our tastes will vary, so you may not love everything I do, but for my tastes, I'm starting to think that Flavor Labs KNOWS their bakeries. Super great bakery element in this one, and with caramel, and pecans on top ? Yes, that's what it's tasting like. The pecan seemlessly blended with the bakery so they were hard to separate when vaping, and the caramelly rich goodness carried throughout the vape. Sweetness was about mid level, and for my second test from FL, this one was fine @ 6%, and frankly, you could use it lower. Nothing off-putting, and yet another "one-shot"-ish flavor from FL. By that I mean, it's soo good by itself, you really wouldn't have to add anything, it's that good. I vaped it hard to try and detect any play-doh or other "I know what that is"'s, and I just couldn't find any. Smelling it, vaping it, even tasting it, tasted the same. A great bakery, with very fresh tasting Pecans thrown in, with a caramel that carried throughout the vape. About the only thing that could be a take off for some would be the slightly more forward Pecan, but for my tastes, it suited the overall mix perfectly, and I couldn't see changing it. If you like pastries, and like caramel and pecans, I think this one should be on your list. **9.5/10**.

**Blackberry (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-25-20)** -- When testing this one @ 6% it had some floral overtones, and I further diluted it, which helped a great bit, so 6% seemed to be pushing the ceiling on this one. Re-tested at roughly 4%. There was an interesting article on this flavor here that somewhat explains the MFG process of it. This one was higher priced than most of the other flavors on their site, and I am assuming because of the all natural-ness of this one. A slight bit of the floral-ness remained at the lower testing weight, but not so much as to be intrusive. It did present as a very natural Blackberry, but at unique at the same time. Couldn't think of a good comparison on the market, which led to it's more unique profile. No seeds, bitterness or anything off-putting except for the floral note when pushing too high. Not overly tart, and sweetness was below mid level. Full bodied and dark at the lower testing weight, and you could probably go down to 2% if needed. Not fully up to par with Medicine Flower's but still good none the less. Because of the added cost, and the floral top end if not careful, your mileage will vary on this one. All in, felt good at **7/10**.

**Cherry Wild (Flavor Labs) 3% (10-25-20)** -- Man, you guys owe me BIG time for buying, and testing all these completely UN-documented flavors, with the real and present danger of blowing my face off. Thanks, I appreciate it, hehe. OK, First things first. 3 percent, WAAAAY TOO HIGH for this one. Reduce, reduce, reduce. I cut it once, still too heavy, reduced again, and it started to take better shape. I think 0.90% would be a good starting point for this one. Once you step this one down to chinatown, it is actually a QUITE outstanding Cherry. It had aspect of a Mara, but some mid (darker) tones, but NOT a Black Cherry. Perhaps that's the "Wild" in it. Beyond being hella-strong, for some reason during the tester tank I wanted to make a Cherry Milkshake. At a much lower, even sub 1% mixing weight, no florals, or off-putting notes. There was a certain aspect/note that I got from this, almost like the cherry pit, but not bitter that kept it unique and interesting. If you dare, and go very low, this might just help you out with some of your Cherry needs. Go low, you have been warned. **8.9/10**.

**Fruit Loopys (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-25-20)** -- With my all time fav (Cap Silverline Fruit Circles) being used almost daily, I think I'm pretty well versed in all things that are [Loops](Frooty McLoops - SessionDrummer). Out of the gate, I thought I MIGHT have gotten a wiff of AP. AP ?? !!! Let's vape on and see. Right on the vape, this one had a GREAT cereal mid and back end, some citrus in there, and NO Lemon Pledge. Sweetness was actually below mid level which is always a nice surprise for Cereal flavors/vapes. It felt as if some of the citrus was missing on the top end with this one, and the AP note I thought I got earlier, didn't re-appear. Perhaps buried in the cereal notes. I got more lemon of the sniff, than I did off the vape, which depending on how you Loop may or may not be a big deal. Being able to add Lemon as YOU need it, is never a bad thing. While not bad, was missing some of the meringue aspects that many of us need when Looping. In total, not bad, just not super stellar. Leaving it mildly at **7.0/10**.

**Grape (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-26-20)** -- Grape on deck, and deep purple it is !!! OK, this one presented as a fairly full, and rich grape, but had an interesting top end, and I'm not sure if I'm 100% a fan, or not. Almost like a touch of champagne on the exhale. I don't think it hurt the mix, but it was def. present on the exhale. It's light enough that simply pairing it with another would easily mask it, if you were in the NOT a fan camp, or let it ride solo, if you were a fan. The grape itself while not billed as a jam, had a lot of jammy qualities. Not overly sweet, so not 100% jam, but as are in some of the recipes this is used in, pairing it with others, can easily push it into full jam mode. All in, a solid mid/slightly dark grape, but with a note on the exhale, that you might love, or hate. Staying neutral on the top end finish note, felt good at **7.0/10**.

**Grape Wild (Flavor Labs) 6% (11-6-20)** -- For the last flavor in this series, the Grape Wild was a very unique finish. Having tried Flavor Labs' Grape, this one was similar in so much that it presented as a rich, and full mid / semi-dark grape, but with something else. It took me quite a while to try and figure out how to explain the "wild" in it, and I finally got it. It tasted like white wine on top of a purple grape. NOT a darker wine, but literally a nice juicy purple grape, WITH, some white wine thrown in on top. Once I had that realization, I couldn't see it any other way. Your perceptions may vary, but as a whole, it did work pretty convincingly as a Wild Grape. Was full, but more relaxed than FL's Grape at this testing weight, and sweetness was below mid level. Throughout the tank it stayed convincing, fairly natural, and with no off-putting notes. Now that I've had both this and the regular Grape, I think I prefer this one, as it tasted more natural, and the "wildness" worked really good. All in, leaving this higher than the Grape, @ **8.5/10**.

**Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-27-20)** -- This one was another "staff favorite" from Flavor Labs, so I dove right in !!! OK, I hadn't had a PUDC in a while, so I had to scratch my memory TO remember LOL. At 6%, I was getting florals, SO, backed it back down to 4%, which fared MUCH better. The reason why I DO leave the original testing weight in the sub-title, is that WAS where I started. OK, first thing I thought was "Where's Da Cake" ?? !!! Didn't really get much of it. Period. Now, what I DID get was a roundhouse kick to the face, and it tasted like PINEAPPLE !!! This one had Pineapple in spades. It was a very broad spectrum pineapple, with some punchy high end notes, mid body, and some lower end. It really covered all the bases in regards to pineapple, AND, it had an almost unique "baked" quality to it. It was very satisfying at 4%, and could even be mixed lower. Now, because of the very missing cake part, this will be hard to rate, as I will have to push it down a bit, but I don't want to overshadow the delicious pineapple nature of it at the same time. Let's leave it here. As a Pinepple Upside Cake, I would have to go with a **6.0/10**. As a straight pineapple, I would have to reverse direction, and peg it at 9.2/10.

**Sugar Cookie (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-28-20)** -- This sugar cookie to me, was rather interesting. It wasn't that it was the best SC that I have used, but it was still good, but I did a little test with this one. Started out at 6%, tasted pretty good, didn't feel like it was hitting the ceiling, and nothing off-putting. I decided to simply cut it on half to 3%, just to see what happened. What was funny, was not MUCH changed. Interesting. Slightly less impact, but overall, didn't really change much. So, even 3% will give you a good idea of it. Overall it lacked from the the vanilla-buttery-goodness that I get from CAP's SC, and maybe a smidge less grainy-ness. It didn't feel lacking per se, but when I compare it to my CAP goto, it just seemed less present. It wasn't heavy on the vanilla, which allowed it to land more squarely in a non-descript, neutral cookie than anything else. Sweetness was at or below mid level, and whether at 3% or 6%, didn't get any off putting, out of character notes. This one summed up as a fairly neutral, slightly grainy cookie. It felt good at **7.0/10**.

**Strawberry Jam (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-26-20)** -- Yeah, this is the one. The one that really brought Flavor Labs into the limelight. Yes, it IS maybe one of the BEST Jammie, Strawberry Jams I have tried, and I've tried a few. Now, this isn't supposed to be, nor does it claim to be the best Strawberry, but again, we're talking JAM here. OK, this one, probably SHOULD be on your must have list, if you are shopping at Flavor Labs. Starting this one off, it was surprisingly below mid level sweet ?? !!! What ?? Yes, and that just opens it up for more uses, and allows you to spike sweetener if you want to. The next, and overwhelming point, IS the jammy-ness of it. I am not sure how they do it, but it MUST be magic, or every "jam" would have it, and they don't. There is just a very unique quality to it, and it just absolutely captures the exact qualities of a jam. If you can picture eating some homemade SB Jam with pectin, and just the right amount of sugar, that's this. It's so unique IMO, it really sets it apart from the pack, and not in a small way. The SB's in total appeared to lean from the mid to low, with a smattering of the bright higher end, which gave it a much more full, and robust SB Jam vaping experience, as opposed to a bright SB. All in, for a Strawberry Jam, I cannot go less than **10/10**.

**Watermelon (Flavor Labs) 6% (10-30-20)** -- Melon and rind were the too first things I thought of when vaping this one. I personally like it when MFG's throw in some rind, as it makes it more authentic (well, unless you hate the rind that is, hehe). The melon itself was blurred between the white/clear, and the red parts of the melon, and the sweetness remained about mid level throughout. It presented to me, in a 80% natural, 20% candied profile, that was plenty strong at 6%, but not hitting the ceiling. Wouldn't call it a "Super" watermelon, but it was def. above average. Because it had aspects of both natural and candied, your use of it, will be opened up to more recipes, as opposed to a WM that is specifically one or the other. It wasn't overbearing or heavy, and with that said, never felt lacking at this percentage. I think a good above average score of **7.0/10** feels right.

**Precursor:** Despite being released for quite some time now, I did read a lot of the controversy around these flavors. Some people thought they were great, others thought they bombed. Enough time is passed, where I can't remember if FA hyped these heavily or not. Regardless if they are just new flavor profiles, or almost one-shots, we'll see what's what here.

All testing done on a SteamCrave RDTA v.1 with dual 7 wrap Kanthal vertical coils, with fresh cotton and dry burned coils in between each tester. All steeped 1+ week.

Although not new, and having been in circulation for a while, I was interested in @Mark_Turner's and @Dan_the_Man's testing of these. @Mark_Turner's can be found here......

https://forum...................../t/pazzo-flavourarts-new-line/182155

I decided to use the same recommended rates that Mark did, AND I also borrowed Mark's picture/review format, great idea @Mark_Turner.:



**Jack (Pazzo) (FA) 8% (7-16-21)** -- FIRST one on deck, and it was directly billed as a candied Strawberry. Now with all of the Strawberries out there, surely the thought on everyone's mind will be, "Do I need another one" ? Well, let's just see. I typically mix FA flavors much lower than 8%, but @Mark_Turner dialed in these testing weights, and that was where I settled. At this testing weight, it actually tasted great, and with no signs of overflavoring. A candied SB is about exactly what you got with this one, and FA did manage to almost capture the syrup that IS indeed in the candies depicted. No crunch, but that was just marketing blah. The SB itself shared some similarities with FA's Juicy Strawberry, but with some ripe notes, and the candied/syrup undertones. Sweetness, was actually lower than expected, at about mid level. It had a few sparkly high end notes, but the majority of this was in the mid region of a SB. The overall experience was a good, red strawberry, with a sprinkling of bright top notes, and a super present mid body, red strawberry, that finished with a convincing candied, almost syrupy note. Nothing out of place, could maybe stand to be a little punchier on the high end, and a smidge more presence. As it stood, not sure if it would be a MUST have, but it was a fairly unique candied/syrupy SB, that you may not have in your current stash. Felt fairly good @ **7.2/10**.




**Joker (Pazzo) (FA) 6% (7-18-21)** -- "Damn, ..... that's good", were my FIRST thoughts on this one, and throughout the test, that hasn't changed. Ok, the MFG description of this one is a little vague, "in chip format" ?? Wha ?? Ok, first off, I think it's safe to say FA's Zeppola IS in here, BUT, there's more. At 6% this was slamming good, rich, delicious, full, and just didn't leave you wanting in any way shape or form. The pastry shell/ cannoli was there, and there was a creamy undertone that was fairly relaxed in the overall mix, and it almost had a hint of cinnamon to it. Now for some, this may appear as an unfinished flavor, because it wasn't pulled in any direction by a fruit profile, but that leaves YOU to push/pull it, any way you want. A Lemon and/or Raspberry came right to mind as easy manipulations, but the skies the limit. Beyond being a fantastic cannoli, it did have some cookie aspects to it, which made it even more interesting. While getting NO chocolate from it, maybe a pairing of a cookie AND a cannoli perhaps.... Because it was billed as "cookies", and "in chip format" the lower cream in this one seemed accurate, and it was a really nice, rich flavor. DAAP free ?? How did FA do it I wonder ?? All in, with the accurate cannoli, and cookie notes, with some cream and a tick above mid level sweet, I couldn't find anything off-putting or ill-fitting in this one. If you are a cannoli fan, or have plans to become one, you could use this flavor. Nicely done, accurate, rich, and full, and I'm right back to where I started, "Damn, ... that's good". **9.9/10**.




**King (Pazzo) (FA) 4% (7-17-21)** -- @lukeloop commented on the recipe thread, that he really liked this one, and I KNEW I was going to be in for a treat, because he knows his flavors. Boy was he right !!!! Slamming good Black Currant that did almost have a chewy-ness to it, AND, a sugar coating, JUST like FA claimed. I've used FA's Back Currant for years, but have never solo'd it, but I strongly suspect it is in here. Now this wasn't as simple as pairing up some FA Black Currant, and FA Candy Jammy Wizard, but if you can conceptualize that, you're in the ballpark. At 4% it was fully present, rich, dark, but with an almost red note lingering in the background. The definite candy-ness of this one was only an accent, and in no way interfered with the delicious black currant. Just below mid level sweet, and with just enough tart-ness to really make it believable. Let's say if you love Black Currants, you WILL love this one, and vice versa. As per the MFG's description, nothing floral in this one, just a really pure, accurate, and tasty BC. The pairings with this one will be endless, darker fruits (and some others), custards, yogurts, etc. If you notice in FA's product shot, the candy is red, and there IS a distinct red-ness in here, that defied identification, possibly a red currant, the candy chew profile perhaps. I think it's safe to say this one's a keeper. I looked long and hard throughout two tanks to try and find faults with this one, and could not. Easily a **9.8/10**.




**Queen (Pazzo) (FA) 7% (7-17-21)** -- I love when I get a flavor that breaks new ground, and that I've never tasted before. This one was one of those. At 7% I got nothing off-putting or chemical from it, and "Red", "Bright, and Fruity" seemed about accurate. Quite an interesting medley here, and it was hard to nail down. Despite def. conveying a "red" fruit flavor, I could detect, red cherry, cranberry, apple, and maybe a raspberry. All of the different notes were evenly blended, with probably the cherry landing on top. Nothing medicinal, or soapy, and despite it not being a singular flavor, it worked as a medley convincingly. Sweetness was just below mid level, and it was tempered by a nice tartness that made it more interesting. True to a medley, the flavors swirled around, and tried to defy detection, and sometimes you got more or less of one or another. It reminded me somewhat of RFSC's Yumberry, not because of it's individual notes, but as a sum total OF it's notes, and how it was unique, and unlike anything else I've tried. Although it wasn't a specific "cherry" it did have some good, almost red-ish cherry notes that were dominant. For an interestingly unique "red" fruit medley, this one worked pretty good, with no real takedowns, and my original note detection didn't waiver throughout the test, with Red Cherry, Cranberry, Apple, and possibly a Raspberry (light) thrown in. Interestingly placed @ **8.5/10**.




**Ace (Pazzo) (FA) 5% (7-25-21)** -- With the last one in this sereis, I was mystified by the "Sweet and Mysterious"-ness of this one. I had to finish the entire tester, before I could render a decision. It was a very interesting paring, but not sure if it was for my tastes. At best, it seemed more like a mashup than a finished flavor or one-shot. Starting out with the positives, you got a healthy does of coconut, citrus, and kiwi, with perhaps a light spattering of papaya in the background. Now at face value, all of those sound pretty good together, but after really getting into this one, I wasn't so sure. As a lover of both Kiwi and Coconut, I can safely say I love each of them, but apparently NOT at the same time. The mix did present as fairly tropical, tasted accurate to FA's claims, and nothing overtly felt artificial, and all of the flavors came across as natural. As always guys and gals, YOUR taste is what matters with flavors, and I can only advise on my tastes/palate. For my tastes, I just couldn't get behind the sum total of parts here, despite the individual notes being very good. The final take-away would be a great coconut, citrus, and kiwi, that was partially creamy, probably due to the coconut, that was about mid level sweet. It might not be for me, but it COULD be for you. Finalizing this FA Pazzo run with this one, and for my tastes, felt pretty solid at **6/10**.




https://..................../recipe/4041414/Flavour+Art+Pazzo+Single+Flavor+Tests+by+SessionDrummer

Despite using FA's flavors for years, I'm FINALLY getting around to doing some SFT on them. A huge thanks out to @drew1 from BCF for sending these new flavors my way for testing. Mixing them now, and am finalizing the steep time(s).










Mixing Now .........

**Amarula (FA) 2.5% (6-4-21)** -- FIRST one on deck from FA's NEW flavor releases. Ama what ?? Yes, Amarula. If you've never had it, it is a creamy liquor from the African Marula fruit. I've only ever tried one brand , which is aged in oak barrels, and Flavor Art PERFECTLY captured this one, and I have no clue how they did it. The most common description would be a combination of Baileys Cream and an almost Grapefruit (not exactly) like citrus note. I don't think I can improve on that widely used comparison. The fruit component is grapefruit-like, but unique enough to avoid a closer comparison. The mid and back end cream notes are very Baileys-like, and are paired perfectly with the citrus. Throughout testing this one, I did get an almost smoky lower end note on the finish, with maybe a smidge of bitterness, but, it in no way detracted from the overall flavor or experience. Wow, I hate to use "unique" so early in the run, but it IS. I can think of no other close comparison flavor, so this one would be a great choice for something new and unique. The interesting thing was the citruis and cream notes stayed perfectly balanced from beginning to end, with a sometimes smoky, slightly bitter finish. Nothing out of place, off-putting, and sweetness was below mid level, which really kept this interesting from beginning ot end. It's actually rekindling my need to dash out and grab a bottle, and that's saying something. First one from FA was a homerun. Hard to detract from this one, and it felt very good @ **9.65/10**.


**Banana Candy (FA) 2.5% (6-4-21)** -- I was expecting a traditional "runt" with this one, but instead I was greeted with a nice, unobtrusive artificial banana instead. Now, runts ARE artificial, but most I've tried were fairly "in your face", and had an almost acetone like note, whereas this one, was much more of an even keeled, relaxed banana. It def. wasn't a natural and did lean artificial, and the "candy" will be subjective to the individual. I didn't get an overt candy-ness from it, and sweetness was below mid level, which was surprising for a "candy" flavor. It was very smooth from start to finish, but not creamy. Convincing, tasty, but not as punchy as a traditional "runt". No off-putting notes, and felt fairly relaxed at this testing weight. Because of it's more "relaxed" nature, you would be able to use it more often than not. No real takeoffs other than relaxed nature, and somewhat lacking candy notes. Convincingly good, and leaving it at a **7/10**.


**Cheesecake Olympus (FA) 2.5% (6-4-21)** -- I'm assuming the Olympus was paying homage to the actual origination of cheesecake in ancient Greece , a little known fact, thanks to New Yorkers. Unlike many Cheesecakes, I did not get an overwhelming sense of a graham cracker crust in this one, but it still COULD be in there. VERY creamy, smooth, and delicious cheesecake is what you get with this one. No BA, and lacking most, if not all acidity, it worked along the lines of LA's Cheesecake, more than any other. Missing were the sometimes pungent sharp cheesy notes, but in their place, was just a very velvety smooth cheesecake experience. I almost did get a crust on the bottom, just lingering in/out of sight, which really kept this one interesting. One of the more unique cheesecakes, and probably the smooth creaminess would be the biggest take-away. Great at this testing weight, nicely sweetened, no off putting notes, and will be easily usable. By adding TPA's CGC, or CAP's NYC you easily .... this one around as/if needed. Going to finish the tester on this one, to get more creamy smoothness. Creamily at **9.4/10**.

**Cherry Juice (FA) 2.5% (6-4-21)** -- Testing this one at what will probably be close to the upper limit worked out nicely, with no soap, perfume, or medicinal side effects. At about mid level sweet, this cherry definitely portrayed a "juice". Not sure how they did it, but it worked/works. Not a "juicy" cherry, but a cherry "juice", and they got it right. It didn't come across as a bright red, or maraschino, but had aspects of them, and it also wasn't a black cherry. It almost presented as maybe a medley of sorts, and that'll probably increase it's usefulness, and broaden it's range. As a cherry, it was very convincing, with no off-putting notes, and rode about mid level sweet. It had some slight similarities with FW Cherry Crush, but only slightly. While having some tartness, it was not a tart cherry. Overall, a convincing cherry, and indeed a cherry juice at that. While not off putting at 2.5%, I'd recommend more of a 1.5-2.0% just to be safe. Nicely sitting at **8.5/10**.

**Costa Rica Pineapple (FA) 2.5% (6-4-21)** -- I've never eaten a Costa Rican Pineapple that I'm aware of, so wasn't sure how this would compare to my regulars. At 2.5% it presented as a nice and full pineapple, with plenty of low and mid notes, but lacking some of the high end punch. While looking around for mixing info, I saw someone mention it was lacking acidic notes, which seems accurate as well. Not terrible, but with the lack of bright, and high end punchy notes in a solo, it is unclear how it would hold up in a mix. Clearly it could be boosted/bolstered with other PA's. Because it only had low and mid notes, at times it almost tasted like a papaya. No off notes, just the aforementioned missing ones would be the only take offs. Leaving this one at **6.5/10**.

**Custard Extra 1 (FA) 2.5% (6-5-21)** -- *Disclaimer, custard steeped only 1 wk 2 days...*
Well, well, well, what do we have here. Realizing custards should be steeped a bit longer, rolling on this one at slightly over 1 week. Right out of the gate, two things were evident, no in your face heavy egg, and an almost pudding like quality. We'll talk more about the other nuances, but those two main aspects, continued from beginning to end. First, this is a lighter custard LIKE (minus the citrus note) FA Custard, than say a heavier custard like CAP's v.1. @ 2.5% it was quite good, relaxed, but full, delicious, but not overpowering in any way. I use FA's Custard often, but it is a much lighter custard, and has some citrus elements to it, but this one, takes/took a lighter custard and UPPED the game a bit. I think the pudding element(s) work perfectly here, but weren't high enough to pull it into a full pudding category, but really accented, and carried the custard portion. Quite a tasty lil' gem FA's come up with here. Your mileage WILL vary depending on what YOU want/need from a custard. One of the better things about this one, was it wasn't overbearing, and non-fatiguing. Nothing off-putting at this weight, nicely smooth, and maybe a tick above mid level sweet. It presented as a fairly unique custard, which puts it into the "you might want to pick it up" cataeory. For a nice custard, with decent pudding elements, that wasn't entirely vanilla focused, plenty rich, without a heavy handed egg profile, this one may get it done for you. For me, it's a tester tank finisher. Easily **9.5/10**.

**Decano Tobacco (FA) 2.5% (6-5-21)** -- Decano translated means literally the Dean, or Professor, so your takeaway on the name or meaning may vary. The Professor of Tobaccos ?? This one WAS a complex one, no other way to put it. The main note it centered around an RY4 main note, but the other notes, swirling around, made it hard to nail down. At times I almost got an orange nuance, but without the sharp citrus punch, and others I was picking up a slight dark choco, maybe even a coffee. More often than not, I was greeted with a dark earthy, almost slightly smoky finish. Hehe, yeah, this one's hard to nail down. There was a creamy element thrown into the main RY4 note, that wandered around a vanilla, but not consistently, but it was there none the less. If you think it's hard to perceive this one, try to explain it hehe. I'd love to hear others thoughts on this one, as it WAS a great, complex ride for sure. All in, this one was QUITE the mysterious one, and in a GOOD way. I'm going to have to leave this one as a very complex RY4-ish mix, with some slight fruity notes, a good creamery element, with an interesting slight chocolate/coffee/smoky finish. 2.5% felt really good, mid level sweet, and just a swirling deliciously mysterious one this one was. Going high for the complexity, blending, and overall effect. **9.8/10**.

**Ice Cream Italian Premium (FA) 2.5% (6-6-21)** -- ASSUMING this was is/was/is DAAP free, it is quite an interesting flavor. First off, the creaminess, and mouthfeel are quite dominant, and really carried through from beginning to end. My only experience with "Italian Creams" was with Hangen's IC, and that was a powerhouse. This one (granted an Ice Cream), didn't have the forceful impact as the aforementioned, but it surprisingly held it's own, none the less. Sweet, creamy, and mouthfeel were the big initial takeaways, followed up by a fairly neutral sweetened note. Maybe some very relaxed vanilla, maybe some vienna cream, but just maybe. That left this one as a deliciously creamy blank slate to be pushed/pulled as you needed it. I didn't get an extreme amount of "ice cream", and while not sure how that is described, you know when it's there or not. Even with that, this one may just end up on your must have list. Below mid level sweet, very smooth and creamy, and ready to do your bidding, and doing so well at 2.5%. Feels very good @ **9.2/10**.

**Jacote Plum (FA) 1.5% (6-6-21)** -- Upon first testing this one @ 2.5%, I was getting some strange boozey notes, and strong overtones, re-tested @ 1.5%, which was MUCH better. At the lower 1.5% weight, this Plum revealed itself much better, and without the strange overtones. Having never eaten a [Spanish Plum](Jocote (Spanish Plum) facts and health benefits) I had no direct comparison, but that didn't stop this one from being good. A nice, authentic, fresh plum with plenty of main body, and a hint of skin was where this one was centered. Fairly dark, with a spattering of high notes, but the majority were mid and low notes. About mid level sweet, and with some minor tartness, it was an interesting, and different one to taste. It was a different approach than the other Plums I've tried, so that pushes it into the unique category again, which is never bad. At this lower testing weight the boozeyness was gone, but it still had an almost slight red-wine contour, which again, made it interesting. Because it opened up, and I lost some of the strange notes I think the lower weight of 1.5% is far better to use this one, and no off-putting notes could be had, at this lower rate. Def. a tester finisher for me, and despite not being one of the more forward flavors, it was very good. Leaving it at 1.5% and **9.1/10**.

**Longan Fresh (FA) 2.5% 6-6-21)** -- Continuing on our interesting fruit travels is the Dragon Eye , aka. Longan. True to the fruit, this was similar to Lychee, but more restrained, with an almost 7-up kicker, and a musky after note. The muskiness, just like in the fruit wasn't overbearing, and just worked here as well. The 7-up nuance(s) persisted throughout, and I'd swear when smelling it in the tank, it almost smelled like beer hops. Now, hehe, I get it, sounds crazy, but, as a solo flavor, it DID work, and was very close to the actual fruit. The beer hops was really only present when smelling it, not tasting it, so fear not. @2.5% it felt really solid, sweetness was below mid level, and all in, another unique fruit offering from FA, and if you like Lychee, you'll probably like, and want this one as well. Interestingly set @ **9.3/10**.

**Lulo (FA) 2.5% (6-6-21)** -- I've never Lulo'd have you ?? With another exotic from South America, the Lulo presented as a super fresh and juicy pairing of and orange and a lime, BUT, there was something MORE going on here. There was an almost watery juicy-ness to this one, and not in a cactus sort of way, so I obsessed on it, until I could figure out how to explain it. It's almost the watery juicy-ness you'd get from Celery. I know, I know. Now, before you go running screaming, "What the hell, celery ??!!", it was not high up in the mix, as the orange/lime took center stage, but sure enough, there was that other element, that the best way I can describe it was like celery. It strangely help bond the two main players together, and tie the flavor together. Despite recognizing the use of cactus for it's juicy qualities, I've not been able to use it because of the taste, and I'm wondering if THIS one could be used (in recipes with citrus) to impart that same juicy-ness. The flavor was laid back @ 2.5% but didn't taste lacking, it had a certain light, and freshness to it as well. Not heavy, below mid level sweet, and almost a refreshing vape. Wow, this is now becoming a trend here with FlavourArt's exotic fruit offerings, as this one was another wow-er, and I'm not even really a "fruit guy". A very unique citrus with an even more unique juicy-ness is what you get. Refreshingly nice @ **9.5/10**.

**Papaya Indian (FA) 2.5% (6-7-21)** -- Here was yet another fascinating fruit roll out from FA, and one I've never tasted before. Unlike most papayas I've tried before, this one was almost UN-ripe, and was missing a lot of the more typical almost creamy body notes. I kept trying to put my finger on what profile I was getting from the un-ripe-ed-ness, and sometimes it almost presented as a slight wintergreen ?? Not 100% sure, but there was a distinct note in there, and once I tasted it, I couldn't shake it. If you're looking for an unripe Papaya, this one is it. Is it better, than a fully ripened, full bodies Papaya ?? Perhaps not. Uniquely placing this at a **6.5/10**.

**Pina Colada Brazilian (FA) 2.5% (6-11-21)** -- Most times, Brazilian Pina Coladas differ from standard PC's with the addition of cream, and fermented sugar cane, in addition to coconut, rum, and pineapple juice. This one turned out to be a lightly refreshing drink, with MOST of the profiles, but missing the big one, Coconut. The biggest players I could detect, were a light, bright pineapple, and with a hint of lime, and a nice cream element. The coconut, if there, was so low in the mix, it was barely detectable, if at all. To my tastes, it kind of pulled it OFF target, as far as a Pina Colada, but it was still a nice summer time drink profile. The rum was present, and just low enough such that it didn't overwhelm the flavor, or overshadow the other elements. You could easily overcome the lack of coconut by adding your own. The pairing of the pineapple and lime, was actually done quite nicely, as lime can be a steam roller in mixes, but here, it was kept fairly balanced and in check. At 2.5%, it was actually quite good, light, refreshing, and tasty, just NOT 100% nailing the Pina Colada due to the lacking coconut. Almost mid level sweet, and was great @ 2.5%, with no out of place flavors. Despite it being a quite tasty lime/pineapple/cream flavor, minor take-offs due to the missing coconut. Felt right at **6.5/10**.

**Strawberry Green (FA) 2.5% (6-11-21)** -- RIGHT out of the gate, this one impressed me, but was it a GREEN strawberry ? That's going to be hard to say, for everyone. Some yes, some no. I might just be in the no camp, BUT, that doesn't mean it wasn't good. My immediate thoughts were directly "Kiwi meets Strawberry". Throughout the entire test, I couldn't shake that assessment. I know what FA was trying to do, and in many ways they succeeded. The Strawberry was deliciously bright, punchy, and and a very sparkly high end finish to it. As far as the "green"-ness, to my tastes, it just really presented as more of a Kiwi. Some people may perceive it as more of a "green", so this one will REALLY be up to you guys to decide. As it stood, it was just damned good. Juicy, accurate, and at 2.5%, felt really centered, and good. It leaned heavily towards a natural SB with only slight undertones otherwise. What made it interesting, was it didn't singularly lean towards a ripe, or a fresh, or even a candied, but had multiple elements swirling around, and kept it interesting throughout. While it may not be an FLV Alpine killer, it was certainly a new-ish take on a SB, and might not be a bad addition to your racks, even if you already are flush with SB's. I tend to gravitate to SB's that have a nice bright, almost sparkly finish, and this one has them, so possible fading aside, it would be able to punch through, and hold it's own even when surrounded by creams, etc. While I'm not 100% on the greeen-ness of it, and despite really getting an almost Kiwi from it, it's hard to mark this one down, as it did, what it did, well. Even within a crowded Strawberry field, this one, breaks new ground, and that's not an easy thing to do. Handily a **9.3/10**.

**Vanilla Cookie (FA) 2.5% (6-11-21)** -- LAST ONE on deck. As these were steeping, this one caught my nose, as different than expected. My current go to Cookie is CAP's Sugar Cookie for reference. Upon first taste, it felt somewhat familiar to me, and it took a second to figure it out (yeah, I test a LOT of flavors LOL). Luckily for you guys, I placed it. This has SOME similarities to ...

.


Now in comparison to the aforementioned, this one had a much more relaxed butter note, and a FAR less biscuit note, which to me, started to drop it into more of a cookie profile, but the similarities, still existed. The bakery/texture in this one REALLY came through, and almost added some grainy-ness to it, which is really hard to do IMO. While there were some buttery elements in here, they were NOT high enough to push this into a butter cookie status. The vanilla aspect(s) were present, but somewhat relaxed, so it was IN there, but it didn't SCREAM vanilla at the same time. The bakery, and texture just kept really impressing me throughout the entire tester, and the buttery notes, and about mid-level sweetness kept it interesting. Wow, always nice when you can run out a series with a BANG. Your tastes on cookies vs. biscuits will vary, especially if you're US vs. UK, but this one really seemed to almost bridge the gap of BOTH, and did it with a buttery undertone, and a texture-ous-ness that really drove it home. This one is yet another, that should probably end up on your racks, as it really bonded the cookie/biscuit, and tasted great. Going to finish out this great new series from Flavour Art leaving this one at a smoking hot **9.8/10**.

As always, huge thanks out to @drew1, @wllmc, and the entire crew @Bull_City_Flavors for making this run possible, and the continued support.

https://..................../recipe...tests+by+SessionDrummer+--+Testing+Now+%21%21

Just picked up the following, and EVERY single one, smells OUT of this world, out of the bottles. I gotta read up ^^^^ @Beaufort_Batches notes above (thanks for that BTW), and I have to research the percentages on the ones he didn't mention. WOW, these REALLY smell good. I don't want to RUSH into mixing them, maybe go to heavy and blow it, as I only got the very small glass capped bottles. Any thoughts, notes, or help is always welcome.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Figuring out the percentages now before mixing... After much research and only BB's notes to go on, decided to go a flat 8%.

**Holy Vanilla (DIYFS) 8% (4-29-18)** -- Holy Vanilla ehhh ?? Well let's see here. What IS in this delicious vanilla ? This is a very complex vanilla to say the least. Not just the typical light airy vanilla, or the deep dark vanilla, but a very good, full blending. It is very full and rich @ 8%, has a buttery/butterscotchy'ness to it. On the second tester tank already, and can't put it down. Starting to see what all the hype is about. Every once in a blue moon, I almost got a whiff of a wintergreen, but who knows where that came from. If you want a rich, full vanilla, with a nice buttery, butterscotch-ish bonus, you cannot go wrong with this one. I get some off notes from some of CAP's vanillas, but not this one. Won't throw my others out, but I can see this one getting used a lot. No choice, but to go **10/10** on this one also.

**Blueberry Muffin (DIYFS) 8% (4-29-18)** -- I'm starting to see a trend here, for my flavor profiles with DIYFS. OUTSTANDING BBM here guys/gals. The BB is very good, and doesn't overpower the muffin. It reminds me of a mix of TPA BB Wild and RF SC BB for comparison. It's harder to 100% nail down, because DIYFS got this one right, i.e. not all BB and a hnt of bakery like some others. The muffin isn't just a generic "bakery" element tossed in, it actually tastes, like a muffin !!!! Sweet, bready/cakey and resides right up there in the front of the mix with the BB. The two are paired beautifully and this is only my third DIYFS tester, I'm wondering if I went too high @ 8%. Not that it's bad, or overbearing, but a thought. About the only negative (as if) would be when smelling it OOTB there is a slight tart you can smell, that seems to not carry over in the mix, but that's probably due to the muffin mega'ness. If you want a BBM I don't think you can go wrong with this. **9.5/10**.

**Donut (DIYFS) 8% (5-1-18)** -- Donut, how do I love thee ?? Very much. I think it is VERY hard to find a good donut flavor. CAP's choco glazed it great, but mostly for the chocolate. CAP's glazed donut is closer, but I do tend to get the play doh from it. The great news, is NO play dough here, BUT the bad news, was at 8%, really didn't get much donut. Nicely sweet, vanilla, but not much beyond that. WILL re-mix at a higher rate, but as this flavor is quite dark, even at 8% not sure on gunking. Sadly, just not a lot of donut here. **5/10**.

**Cookie (DIYFS) 8% (4-28-18)** -- O.M.G. !!!!!! Let's start this one off the easy way, **10/10**. WHY haven't I tried this brand before ?? This is, hands down, the baddest ... cookie, I have ever vaped. PERIOD. Had a lot of trouble trying to find into on what percentages to mix DIYFS flavors at. At 8% the cookie is excellent, delicious, and outstanding. All of the elements are there you would expect in a cookie, great bakery elements, Getting slight, if any, choco elements, but it's super duper fine, just like it is. RUN, don't walk to order this. WILL be getting a BIG bottle of this, and may try mixing higher to check thresholds. **10/10**.
**Additional Notes:** Continued testing of this proves to be hard to fully explain it’s goodness. Vanilla, butter, bakery, hint of chocolate, no dryness whatsoever and with @Sprkslfly’s assistance, would say very similar to a Toll House cookie.

**Vanilla Custard (DIYFS) 8% (5-1-18)** -- I'm one of the few, who cannot vape CAP VC, something in it just doesn't agree. About the only VC I can vape is TPA VC, and I get no pepper notes from it like some other people as a disclaimer. @ 8% this was nice, somewhat sweet, creamy and full, and although I did get some of the off note that I get from CAP VC it was more relaxed, so I could actually vape this. I do not get a lot of eggy'ness from it, which is good for my tastes. It had almost a pudding element to it, but lower in the profile. Although it had some elements similar to CAP's this one is preferable to me. For it's profile, and with the slight pudding kick, safe to say this rides in high @ **7.0/10**. If you are NOT put off by CAP's VC, you will probably rate it higher._

**Gooey Butter Cake (DIYFS) 8% (4-30-18)** -- Gooey Butter Cake ehhh ??? Don't think I've ever tried one before, but here goes. This one was the first one that I felt maybe going higher than 8% would benefit it (and per @Leilani's comments to that effect). Still really good and fairly true to the name even at 8%. They really got the white/yellow cake part right, and it sure seems buttery, but as an accent, not a top note. At this percentage it's an even sweet, bakery flavor, with buttery'ness and some icing in there for good measure. I think this one is good enough to warrant a re-test at maybe 11% just to see if the buttery part takes off higher. As it stands, a really good cake. Nothing off-putting or artificial, and the cake really comes through on this one. Will add notes if the higher tester boosts the buttery'ness or gooey'ness. As it stands, solid at **9/10**.


**Angel Food Cake (DIYFS) 8% (6-30-18)** -- It's starting to seem like DIYFS really does cookies/cakes/pastries right, and this is no exception to that. Very light, and full (yes, light and full), fluffy Angel Food Cake here people. Smelled exactly like it before mixing, improved after steeping, and right out of the tank. It is spot on IMO. What I did notice at this percentage is it was maybe at or over the correct usage limit. Not cloying, but just felt like maybe it was a bit high. Lucky for me, I could test that on the spot. Had the Steam Crave v.1 full @ 3ml, poured out maybe 1/3 of that, topped off with some PG, shook up, and continued. At the lower level the upper limit-ish taste went away, but the buttery light Angel Food Cake remained. This one appears to benefit a bit lower than 8%, perhaps 4-5% might be better. All in all, can't find fault with this one at all. **9.5/10**.

**Raspberry Cookie (DIYFS) 8% (06-30-18)** -- First things first, this one had a fairly dark purple/pink color. Natural, artificial ?? Not sure. The raspberry in this was pretty good, with a nice dark-ish raspberry flavor, somewhat sweet, with a tad of tart, but not much. Very forward in the mix as expected, but not overpowering or cloying. The bakery element followed it nicely, but somewhat behind the raspberry. This could be said to be the opposite of the DIYFS Bueberry Muffin wherein the two were move evenly mixed. This doesn't make this bad, just as in comparison between the two. Because the cookie is lower in the mix, it is harder to try and pick out elements of it, but more that it is just present in the mix. Overall the mix is quite good, with nothing off putting or overly artificial tasting, with a good amount of sweetness. With the coloring issue aside, rating it a solid **7/10** for flavorings.

**Orange Cream (DIYFS) 8% (7-01-18)** -- 2 hours sleep after being up for 26 hours for the Tesla, Joan Jett, Styx concert, so bear with me hehe. OK, is there any way an Orange Cream could compete with TPA's ?? Kinda. Is it orangey and creamy ?? Yes. Overall the mix was good with elements of both, but not 100% sure on the orange. Will be hard to explain, but there was an overtone on this one, and not sure if it was the orange or the cream (or both) that left me wanting. Wasn't terrible, but it was there all throughout. I think TPA wins on this one for a creamier, better orange. This one doesn't race to the bottom of the pack, just not the top. Evenly mixed, good sweetness, just that darned undertone that lingered. Your own mixing/testing mileage will vary, so try it and decide for yourself. Will leave it at **6.5/10**.

**Chocolate Marshmallow Graham Cookie (DIYFS) 8% (6-27-18)** -- Because of my love for DIYFS Cookie and S'mores in general this one I had to try. Let's start out by saying if you love the Cookie, you WILL love this one. If you read my review on the Cookie this will make more sense. The beloved cookie is in here, BUT, with some minor yet distinct differences. The fresh buttery bakery-ness is much lower in this mix, which is actually good. Almost even with the cookie, is a very nice graham which I still cannot place as a particular vendor's. Sometimes I would get a slight hint of coconut finish, other times not, so it's very low. The chocolate and marshmallow are lower in the mix than the cookie or graham, which again, really works. It's like a hint of chocolate, with some marshmallow mouthfeel and sweetness but not a identifiable marshmallow taste. In summary, this one was really great, and wow'd me like the cookie, minus some of the buttery bakery notes, with a great mid-strong graham element, finishing with a good marshmallow and a hint of chocolate. Very even, fairly sweet, great mouthfeel, and despite being somewhat of a coil gunker JUST like the cookie, it's too damn good to complain about it. **9.6/10**.

**Peanut Butter Expert (DIYFS) 4% (06-30-18)** -- Perhaps I should have listened to @Beaufort_Batches as this one @ 4% had a rather overpowering burnt note to it. Peanuts were in there, some sweet, and some creaminess, but I couldn't shake the burnt note on this one. Seeing his much lower numbers, this must be the cause. I will have to re-test this one at much lower than 4% to see what changes. At **4% however, it would rate a 2/10**. Beaufort nailed the taste below.

**Apple Crumble (DIYFS) 8% (06-30-18)** -- This one, proved to be a very interesting one. The first thing that hit me was a very bright apple, almost Fuji like, followed up by a nice crumble blanket that it was wrapped in. The apple was bright and tart-ish, not like my current fav FLV Apple Filling which has a darker/fuller/richer overall taste. Granted one is a apple filling, and this an Apple Crumble, just for comparison. They did a good job NOT making a crust element, but actually more of a crumble, which was impressive. There is a slight amount of cinn/spice, but again, very low, not like FLV Apple Filling where it is far more predominant. The apple and crumble are evenly mixed, with a very satisfying overall feel and vape. For my personal preferences, not sure if the brighter Fuji like apple does it as much justice as it deserves. Not bad in any way, maybe not my preference. After continued vaping, does seem to be somewhat of a cream element in there, not really ice cream-ish, but in that area, which helps to round it out. Your preference may vary, but leaving it at a **7/10**.


**Cherry (DIYFS) 8% (06-30-18)** -- Thus far, found DIYFS does a lot of things right, but what about the Cherry ?? Well not so much. Fairly dark in color, and did have some hints of cherry in it, but whatever cherry there was, was overshadowed by some short of a malty-ish, chocolate-ish note. There was no medicine, or perfume notes which was good, but the overpowering main note kind of lingered in the nose on exhale, and it just did this one in for me. If it had been a clear chocolate cherry, that would have been one thing, but it's just not, and whatever surviving cherry notes remained were so lost in the mix, little to no value as a cherry IMO. **1.5/10**.

https://forum...................../...-all-in-one-base-camp/227738?u=sessiondrummer

Did not see a large amount of Delosi flavor notes, so decided to buy a batch, and test them out. All tested at the % listed, with a 3-5 day steep. All tested on a SteamCrave RDTA v.1, 7 wrap kanthal 24 ga. coils, with fresh cotton and dry burned in between tests. Tested @ 65 watts.

**Coconut (Delosi) 5% (8-07-19)** -- Stumbled across Jojo's notes on this one, and motivated me to test. This one smelled great on mixing, and after a short steep continued to be stellar. This may be my (just like Jojo) new fav coconut. It has NONE of the "greasy" notes that some other coco's have, but all the good parts. It imparts all the best of fresh coconut with plenty of body, great sweetness, some of the cream, and the meat. It's all in there. Continued solo vaping @ 5% revealed no off putting notes, and I can already see this taking over my number one slot for some dragon's blood mixes. Very full, but not cloying at this %, and can't wait to get a bigger bottle, and start mixing with it. **10/10**.


**Peach 5% (8-16-19)** -- Peaches, peaches, peaches. Are they here ?? Ummm, not really. At first I thought I WAS getting some peach, almost like the cubed, sweetened chunks that Chic Fila tosses in their Peach Milkshake, but the more I vaped it, the less I got. Somewhat sweet with SOME peachy undertones, but overall it fell short of a full on peach. Sometimes even, smelling it gave more peach, than vaping it. Not terrible, just not peachy enough. Maybe an even keeled fruit puree-ish flavor. Probably great as a mixer to fill out a fruity mix, but not a driving peachy mcpeach. Maybe too generous to leave it at **5/10**.

**Strawberry Milk 10% (8-10-19)** -- After a mere few days steep, this one turned out to be quite good. I've not had great luck with single flavor milks, and/or milkshakes, so my hopes were low with this one. It did however, prove me wrong. Coming up with an actual SB Milk as opposed to a SB Creme is exactly what they did here. It did come across almost like the SB version of Nesquik. Milky ? Check. SB ? Check. Smooth and even, with just about the right amount of sweet. I used the average % of 10% so it's not very concentrated, but at 10%, it was a winner. So much so I finished off the tester, and that's a great sign. The SB was somewhat subdued and could probably use a boost from say FA Juicy SB perhaps, but as is, **9/10**. Going to be getting a bigger bottle of this one as well.

**Honeydew 5% (8-16-19)** -- It didn't take many puffs to decide this one was equally MEH. Sweet fruity flavor with some melon maybe Kiwi-ish undertones. Maybe a blender for fruit mixes at best ? Not terrible, but def. not great. I think back to my Medicine Flower tests thanks to @Pro_Vapes, and the MF Honeydew blows this out of the park. As my final tester in this series, going to go low again @ **3/10**.

**Banana 5% (8-11-19)** -- Oh banana how do I love thee ?? OK, out of the gate, this one was good, but not great. Seemed to lean more towards runty artificial, but still had some authentic banana in there. Nicely sweet and even/full @ 5%. Not creamy per se, but maybe a slight feel/taste of pudding-ness, if anything. The one BIG take away for me on this one, was that I often get a sort of muskiness from most bananas, but this one had NONE of those notes, and that's a plus. Although not giving this a 10, I am already planning on re-mixing a few of my current banana favs with this so see how the UN-muskiness works out. As it stands, feel like a **7.5/10** is solid.

**Strawberry 8% (16-19)** -- With sooo many strawberries out there, you're always looking for the next big one. Sadly this one is NOT it. Nothing off-putting or floral, just meh. Somewhat SB'ish, but not overly so. Sweetness was nice, but overall just seemed a blur with no telltale breakthrough SB notes. Delosi's SB Milk however was excellent, but this one, going to leave it low @ **3.5/10**.

**Cantaloupe 5% (8-11-19)** -- This one had me guessing trying to figure out what it was. It did have canta elements, but vaping it seemed more of a sweet-ish fruit-like mish mash. It smelled like canta seeds, but not the fruit when vaping. Def. would not be my canta choice. Not finishing the tester in this one. **2/10**.

**Watermelon (Delosi) 8% (8-10-19)** -- Wow on this one. Following the Coconut, this would be a perfect pairing with it heading towards a Dragon's Blood. OK, this was pretty good at 8%, but might be able to go even higher. It came across as an even keeled candied WM, that straddled between realistic and slightly artificial. I think it's closest cousin would be LA Watermelon for comparison. Nothing off putting, and sweetness leaned heavier, but not overly so. Nicely done, and putting it @ **9.25/10**.

**Cotton Candy 5% (8-11-19)** -- So what exactly IS Cotton Candy ? Who knows, maybe straight EM ?? Added this one to my order just to see what was what. As expected it was sweet, but not actually overly sweet @ 5%. Had all the telltale signs, smells, and tastes of CC without being overpowering. Continued vaping didn't appear to reveal any muting, and the flavor stayed consistantly cotton candy-ish throughout. Didn't seem to reach the level of TPA Cotton Candy, but in the ballpark. For what it's worth, leaving this at a **7/10**.



**Cake Batter (Delosi) 5% (1-10-21)** -- Have not used many CB's, and CAP's would probably be the one I've used most, was interested to see how another one fared. Out of the gate, I'm not sure if it conveyed a Cake Batter to me, but it had clear similarities to Flavor West's Cake Batter Dip, BUT, without the smoothness. At times I had some fruit elements, others not, and it was hard to explain other than to say like a non-smooth cousin to FW CBD. Had some frosting elements, but not a frosting, maybe some vanilla in there, but that even wandered around. Hard to nail down for sure, but in total, not really sure if it conveyed a batter. Not terrible, mid sweet, and beyond a few fruity florals that popped in and out when vaping, nothing off-putting in it. Feels fair @ **6.5/10**.


**Cereal Base (Delosi) 5% (1-24-21)** -- Is this the cereal base you've been looking for ?? Maybe, maybe not. It had some lower end bakery notes, with some grains, but to my palate, I kept getting the distinctive AP notes. Not overwhelming, but they were there, and once you tasted them, you couldn't NOT taste them. I'm not opposed to using AP, as I do often, but I can control it's impact/effect, and this one it was static, and always there. Sweetness was below mid level, and no off notes at 5% could be found. Your tastes/needs will vary, so if you want AP or not, will dictate how good this one is for you. For my "base" needs, I'll leave it at a mid-level **5/10**.

**Cherry (Delosi) 2% (1-23-21)** -- What do we fear with Cherries ?? EVERYTHING !!!! Kidding. I am still apprehensive when trying to decide on initial testing strengths with Cherries, having being burned soo many times before. Decided to go low with this one (relative) as there just wasn't much info on it out there. At this low weight, the great news was I wasn't slammed with a soapy, medicinal, floral assault to my senses. Now, I was also not assaulted with a full cherry either !!! I may re-test this higher for better analysis, but at 2%, I wouldn't call this a full, in your face cherry. Smelled great in the tank, but vaping it was rather hollow, and seemed to be a HUE of a cherry. Now, this COULD easily be that I tested it too low. Somewhat sweet, and tart, with clear aspects of Cherries, but just needed some more body, presence, and fullness. Because it was so subdued, complete analysis was hard to obtain. Not overly natural, somewhat candied, and not bright or dark, but a middle of the scale cherry. Re-testing higher may reveal more, but at this weight, it would probably be best as a Cherry base mixer/enhancer/builder, and that's not the end of the world. At 2%, will leave this one at **5/10**. Not offensive in any way, just not ON the offense.

**Chocolate Coconut (Delosi) 4% (1-13-21)** -- It should be no secret that .......


And with that said, I had high hopes for this one continuing that trend. Upon first vape however, I just wasn't sure. If you've been DIY'ing for a while, you may have heard me or other mixers talking about "Pushing" or "Pulling" flavors and profiles. I think this flavor is a PRIME example of that. I didn't really get much choco out of this one, BUT, whatever they put in here Pushed, and Pulled their deliciously creamy Coconut OFF profile. I took a vape break and came back to it fresh, and had the same resolution. I was getting SOME of my beloved Delosi Coconut, with some other, unidentifiable notes, that just didn't work as expected. The mix was rich, full, and even keeled at this weight, not overblown, and no ceiling hitting off-notes, just no great choco/coco. I'm not sure if this should be a stocking stuffer or not. My preference would be to use Delosi's Coconut, and temper in my OWN chocolate, possibly MF Dark Chocolate, and do it right. You guys know me, and my reviews, so I don't go low, unless I have to. Leaving this interesting one @ **5/10**.




**Cinnamon Bun (Delosi) 5% (1-12-21)** -- The most unique aspect of this one was the Cinnamon, which was fairly hard to nail down. It seemed to be a bit spicier than the normal "bakery" cinnamon, but not a "red hot" cinnamon, maybe somewhere in between. The bakery elements were fairly average, with no cream cheese icing, or yeast notes. It wasn't a terrible flavor, but I think it could have benefited from more of a bakery cinnamon, with maybe some yeast to add to the authenticity of the "bun". As a whole it had all the elements, but seemed to lack focus. I could see it benefiting from a cream element to temper the cinna a smidge. Feels right @ **6.5/10**.

**Classic Fruit Punch (Delosi) 5% (1-12-21)** -- This "classic" fruit punch, should NOT be confused with a red tropical punch (which Delosi also has), as it was more of a citrus punch. Immediately the lime was evident, with lemon taking 2nd place, and some orange rounding it all out. With below mid level sweetness, it might benefit from a pinch of sweetener to help flush it out a bit. The citrus elements tasted about 50/50 natural/artificial, which worked well here, and with no off-putting notes at this testing weight. I think my personal preference would be more to the red tropical punch, but even still, this one was good for what it was. All 3 elements were blended fairly evenly, and it finished clean, and crisp. For a not red tropical punch, this one worked pretty good, and the trifecta of citrus fruits didn't leave you wanting. **7.5/10**.

**Custard (Delosi) 5% (1-9-21)** -- Custard, custard, how do I love thee ?? More than too much. I love my Custards, BUT, I seem to have a NARROW band, wherein my favorites lie. There are soo many different styles of custards, and different tastes for custards, that trying to state what the "best" custard is, is all but impossible. To MY tastes, I love a nice rich, slightly eggy custard, but with pudding notes to temper them. CAP's VC1 and INW Custard are probably on the top of my "Egg Brick To The Face" list, yet I still use both, but I use them sparingly. This one, actually COULD become my NEW favorite Custard. It's not billed as a Vanilla Custard, and rightfully so, as it didn't lean too heavily into a pure VC. The more I vape this, the more I like it, as it almost seems to have perfectly fit MY needs for a custard, with some eggy-ness, but also some nice smooth pudding-ish notes tempered in there. It was very full (but not IN your face) at 5%, and with a mid level sweetness, it could indeed be ADV'd solo. If you're reading this, your tastes for custards may require more, or less eggy-ness, so your mileage will vary. While fulfilling my "some egg, and more pudding" requirements, it clearly is not as buttery rich as CAP's VC1, and/or in your face, but continued vaping, didn't leave me missing those. If you're really looking for a straight up "what's it like", then I'd have to say 40% CAP VC1 with 60% pudding. Let YOUR tastes dictate whether or not you try this or not, but if you're looking for a Custard that's got SOME egg, and more pudding notes, that doesn't lean heavily to the Vanilla, I think you might like this one. My palate is going to compel me to buy a bigger bottle. Palate'd @ **9.8/10**.

**Glazed Donut (Delosi) 5% (1-9-21)** -- This one goes out to @Rocky02852, because I know it's in his cart !!! Let's start this off by saying this is the LEAST offensive Donut I have ever tried. Wait, what ?? Does that mean it's the best ?? Let's see. I have tested almost every possible donut, and one is PlayDoh, others were burnt, and some were just plain yeasty. Almost everyone's take on a perfect donut will vary, so again, no perfect one for everyone. This one immediately had me thinking of a Krispy Kreme but minus some of the yeasty-ness. I actually went through TWO tanks before writing this. What DOES make up a great donut. Yeast ? Dough (fried) ? Glazed ? I think yes to all. This one had about every positive aspect of a donut (for me) minus the yeasty-ness, and/or greasy/fried notes. I struggled to decide how important those two WERE for a donut. I'm now not sure, as Delosi's GD had very little yeasty notes, and no deep fried greasy notes, yet, it was still a great donut. Your tastes may vary, but for mine, this WAS the least offensive Donut I've ever tried. If you DID require more yeast and grease, you could easily add some, if not, you can roll right out of the gate. No real cinnamon notes (but you could add them) here, which placed it even more solidly in the blank canvas donut category. A tick above mid level sweet, but I attributed that to a fine glazed coating. Two tanks, and chain vaping couldn't force any off-notes. If you're like me, and don't need yeast or grease in your donuts, then you should pick this one up pronto. **9.9/10**.

**Graham Cracker (Delosi) 5% (1-8-21)** -- Welcome to Series II !!!! First on deck is the GC. This one was somewhat unique, and was more like FLV, and FW's GC, than CAP's or TPA's. The good news is, it didn't favor an Oatmeal Cookie like FLV's, or wasn't heavy on the coconut like FW's. That is what made it somewhat unique. I didn't get any cinnamon from it, and it leaned towards a dryer honey based graham without any overt honey-ness. Being a S'mores junkie, I might try to work this in to a few of my variants to see how it fares, and I'm guessing that TPA's GCC (Graham Cracker Clear) would boost it quite nicely. If you don't want a cinnamon based, or coconut heavy GC, this one, might work for you. Nicely present at 5%, below mid level sweet, and accurate to it's name. Nothing off-putting, and it just worked really good. Solidly @ **9.5/10**.

**Malted Milk (Delosi) 5% (1-26-21)** -- Well this one was a strange one. I honestly didn't get much, if any, Malted Milk, but it presented as almost a Soda Base ?? !!! Checked the bottle, and sure enough, that was the flava flave. There were maybe some almost caramel notes in it, but once I tasted the soda base, I couldn't not taste it. No real creamy or dairy notes, and no malted notes that I could find. I don't think this is the MM you're looking for. **1.5/10**.

**Marshmallow Cereal (Delosi) 5% (1-21-21)** -- Back at it !!!! When I saw this one I had to have it, as my current champion was Purilum's Strawberry Marshmallow Cereal, hands down. VERY hard for any other to approach that level, but test on, we shall. Had to finish two tanks to get a firm nail down on this one. There were some cereal elements, but they were much lower in the mix. The MM was the leader here, and while pretty good, didn't have lots of mouthfeel to it. As a "cereal" marshmallow, it's actually really good, as it captured the little almost dusted tiny MM's found in cereals, and not a campfire, or sticky MM. Sweetness was obviously above mid level, but not cloying, no off-putting notes, and 2 tanks later, wasn't sick of it. As billed, I have to knock it down as the "cereal" was just too laid back. If you DO need mini cereal type marshmallows, this will work GREAT, just don't expect much cereal from it. Leaving it at a **7/10** as billed, but if it were just "Tiny Cereal type Marshmallows" I'd have to go 9.9/10.

**Peanut Butter (Delosi) 5% (1-9-21)** -- My vaping of Peanut Butters has fallen into TWO categories. Darker/Saltier or Sweeter/Creamier. Delosi seems to have almost bridged the gap with their Peanut Butter, because it appeared to be BOTH. Your PB needs will differ, so which one(s) you use, will differ as well. I've always liked CAP's PB for it's sweet, creamy, almost Jiff like qualities, but I always got an off/burned note on the tail end. This one, had both salty/dark and creamy/sweet qualities. Maybe split 50/50 but hard to say for sure. Sweetness was mid level, and with no off notes throwing it off track, I couldn't find fault with it. It was an interesting take on PB as it literally seemed to straddle both worlds. If you are looking for a only salty, or only sweet, this one might not be for you. For a natural tasting PB that covered almost the entire PB spectrum, this one might be for you. **9.5/10**.

**Pina Colada (Delosi) 5% (1-9-21)** -- Having not tested Delosi's Pineapple yet, I'm assuming this is a pairing of the two. My older review of their Coconut revealed a perfect score (IMO), so was curious to see how I liked this one. Most times Pinas are just a coconut/pineapple combo with MAYBE a cherry on top. I didn't get any cherry in this one, but (as expected) did get a great coco pineapple combo. My old coconut friend was back, and just as good, and paired with a pineapple. Because I love Delosi's coconut soo much it was hard to focus on the pineapple notes, but they paired the two nicely. Same creamy coconut was present, but not as full because it was cut with the pineapple. The pineapple was a nice, even one with not a lot of bright, high end sparkle, but that could be the fault of the rich and creamy coconut smothering any hehe. All in, a nice, mid level sweet, tropical drink in a gif. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just good. Throughout the tester, I did keep thinking, "Why'd you water down my creamy coconut" hehe. The coco did manage to rise above the pineapple in the mix, and that worked fine. Minor kickdowns for no sparkly, high end punch notes on the pineapple, but a great combo flavor none the less. Solidly a **8.5/10**.

**Pineapple (Delosi) 5% (1-26-21)** -- The more Pineapples I test, the more obvious it becomes that it's NOT as easy to come up with a good one as you would think. My current mega-champion is:




I didn't think Delosi's would knock it off it's perch, and it didn't. This one smelled great at 5% in the bottle, and after a short steep and vape, it seemed to be a little lack-luster or hollow. There was a good Pineapple in there, but it was just very relaxed. Overall it was fairly natural and seemed to hover in the mid-region of the spectrum, with not as much going on in the darker, or brighter/punchier areas. It could be a very light Pineapple Juice. Continued vaping didn't reveal any florals, and possible pushing it higher would bolster it a bit, but not sure. Sweetness was a tick above mid level which was fine for a sweet pineapple. I just kept wishing it had more presence. All in, not terrible by any means, just not terribly present, at least at this testing weight. Fresh, fairly natural, with nothing off-putting, and would DEF. work out in bolstering a Pineapple slurry, just NOT the main star. **6.5/10**.


**Raspberry (Delosi) 5% (1-9-21)** -- Having not had great luck with Delosi's fruits thus far, was looking to see if this broke the trend, and it did. Took me over a tank to try and nail it down, but I did. It was an interestingly somewhat laid back Raspberry at 5%, but it defied analysis. It wasn't a darker berry, nor a brighter punchier one, but one smack dab in the middle of the spectrum. It's not Medicine Flower, Sobucky, or VSO, but it held it's own. Just imagine a Raspberry with some of the darker and punchy high end notes culled, and this is it. It actually was surprisingly a good Raspberry, as it centered in the mid spectrum. Just slightly tart, but not bright, and lower than mid level sweet, and it almost had a gritty-ness to it, which kept it interesting. I think the gritty-ness was similar to almost like the sandy grit from a fresh pear. Just in texture not in taste. Not jammy, not a candy, and it did favor more of a natural flavor. At first I wasn't sure it it was going to work, but with no off-putting florals, and an interesting smooth, mid-spectrum RB, it was a good vape. **8.4/10**.

**Sugar Cookie (Delosi) 5% (1-10-21)** -- Lotsa Sugar Cookie flavors out there, and most seem to center around a lighter Vanilla Cookie. This one was devoid of any V, which would open up it's usage to a wider mixing array, and it was somewhat darker than most others. Some butter, but not buttery rich, and the bakery notes were convincing, and you could almost taste some brown sugar. Sweetness was at about mid level, and it felt perfect @ 5%. No dough, cinnamon, vanilla, or choco chips here, but a really good, blank canvas Sugar Cookie. Finished two tester tanks trying to find faults/ off notes, but they weren't to be found. Because it was so full at this weight, and with no identifiable flavors you could really use this anywhere you need a cookie, and push/pull it from there. You could even ADV it, as is as well. For a great neutral sugar cookie, without any added flavors, this one could end up on your shelf. Nicely placed @ **9.2/10**.

**Sweet Cream (Delosi) 5% (1-21-21)** -- There only used to be a few SC's out there, but now, there's quite a few. Some keep to the traditional "sweet" cream, which is just an absence of a sour cream, others are actually sweet/sweetened. This one actually had some sweetness to it, and some relaxed creamery elements. Assuming dik/daap free it was missing a lot of the richness and mouthfeel that many have. Not terrible, no BA notes, no buttery-ness, just not as present as you'd probably want when using a "cream". Could be used as a base mixer, but probably not as a top cream element. Sweetness while present, was lower than mid level, and worked for this profile. Some kick downs for a slightly thinner, and less creamy cream. **6/10**.

**Sweet Vanillin (Delosi) 3% (1-10-21)** -- Having never tried Vanillin before, had to [science the .... out of it](http://www.babyspinachsaga.com/vanilla-vs-vanillin-whats-the-difference/). Apparently Vanilla has over 250 flavor compounds, whereas Vanillin has 1. With that said, I wasn't expecting a full spectrum here. My firstest first thoughts were, "Vanilla meets Cotton Candy". It's not that I was getting EM, but I can see why they call it Sweet Vanillin. It did taste like a simpler, cleaner Vanilla, that was fairly sweetened. @3% it seemed high enough, and was above mid level sweet. Because of it's lack of depth (missing compounds) I could see this as an additive/enhancer more than a main note. For what it was, it was a good, simple, sweetened Vanilla, that was fairly bright, without much of the darker/fuller undertones in regular vanillas. For a brighter, simpler, sweetened Vanilla, this one will fit your bill. **9/10**.

**Toasted Marshmallow (Delosi) 5% (1-9-21)** -- It can be hard often times to review Marshmallows. Everyone knows about the mouthfeel, sometimes sticky-ness, and also in mixes to smooth out some of the rough edges. When SFT you never know how the flavor will work in mixes. At 5% this one was a nice, almost velvety Marshmallow with moderate mouth feel. Not sticky, but nice and full at this testing weight, with all the fluff and characteristics you'd expect from a MM. I could pick up on some toasted elements riding on the top, and overall it was realistic. While maybe not the thickest MM out there, it held it's own throughout the tank. Above mid level sweetness (DUH, marshmallow), and no off-putting notes, it was an easy vape to keep vaping. Some vanilla notes, but not overly so, leaving this one usable wherever you needed a good toasted MM. It def. leaned towards a campfire marshmallow and not a cereal marshmallow. For a good marshmallow with some toasted notes, with good mouthfeel, and mid-level sweetness, this one works, and works well. **9.3/10**.


**Vanilla Cream (Delosi) 5% (1-10-20)** -- This one smelled almost TOO good when mixing it up, so was glad to finally get to test it. I can now see why, because it WAS that good when vaping it !! It was interesting they billed it as a V. Cream, not a V. Ice Cream, because it they could have. A deliciously light, vanilla cream, that wandered between a milk shake of sorts, then back to more of an ice cream. No malt, but just a perfectly clean, vanilla cream. At 5% it was lighter, and I couldn't tell if it would have been better at 4% or not, but even at 5%, had no signs of hitting the ceiling. Nicely sweet, and the creamy-ness added to the overall mouthfeel. Not heavy handed, or buttery rich like LB's, but just more of a "clean" vanilla cream. Maybe similar to Sobucky's offerings tested here, and just as clean, yet somewhat laid back. No off-notes, no pepper, at all, just an overwhelming sense of "clean vanilla cream". 2 tanks gone, still can't find fault with it, and mixing wise, I might think 2-4% would be good, and depending on what it's pared with it might need a boost, but might not. All in, this was an excellent clean, vanilla cream, that doesn't disappoint, and leaves you wanting more. Cleanly stable @ **9.9/10**.

**Vanilla Yogurt (Delosi) 5% (1-21-21)** -- I eat yogurt, but have never been a huge fan of vaping it, so this one was tested with pause. Smelling it in the bottle didn't reveal any sour / culture notes, so I figured I was safe. Vaping it revealed none of either, but what I noticed, was without them, it wasn't very yogurt-y. Hmmmm, interesting. At first I thought, maybe it's one of those sweetened non-yogurty yogurts, but even after 2 tanks, I became convinced, it just wasn't a yogurt. It was good, as I got through 2 tankfuls, but despite the almost creamy, somewhat vanilla-y nature, it never went to yogurt-ville. It almost reminded me of a vanilla meets a condensed milk more than anything else. Nothing off-putting, and seemed fine at 5%, with sweetness at about mid level. I've yet to test Delosi's Condensed Milk, but I'll be interested to see if there's some of THIS, in THERE. As billed, would have to go down to a **4.5/10** not because it was bad, just because of the not yogurt.

Chemno's rates appear on the high side, but having never tried them, will settle at the mid point for testing.

**Cookie (Chemnovatic) 9% (6-28-20)** -- Cookies may be one of the hardest flavors to get right for everyone. Soo many different kinds. American, European, Dry, Chocolate Chip. My absolute current favorite is [DIYFS Cookie](https://forum...................../...avor-tasting-notes/161384/61?u=sessiondrummer), and that was more of an American Toll House cookie. This one was actually not like any other I've tried yet. If I were forced to compare, it is like a combo of FA Cookie, and JF Cookie. Somewhat dry, nice almost grainy elements, with low to mid sweetness, with no discernible base coloring like Vanilla or Chocolate chip. Rather neutral, and I believe the grainy-ness that I was picking up might lean this more towards a European biscuit style, and away from an American pastry type cookie. It's not overbearing, and could easily be manipulated to either style. Continued vaping leads me to the assumption that it would def. work in a base, and would require some tweaking to either a pastry or biscuit as you need. All in, pretty solid cookie, fairly neutral, mildly sweet, with some detectable grain to it. **7/10** feels good here.
______________________________________________________________________________________

**Donut (Chemnovatic) 6% (7-5-20)** -- I think we can all agree, it's just damned impossible to come up with a really good donut flavor. If not, everyone would be doing it. We get the greasy, the yeasty, the playdoh, the fritters, etc. Interestingly enough, this one, can be added to the aforementioned. I got somewhat of a "greasy" note when mixing this up, and it continued into the vape. It honestly came across as a somewhat greasy apple fritter, with most of the apple stripped out. At no point, did I really get a donut. Some bakery, some greasy, some subtle cinnamon undertones, and almost a hint of apple. I think this would be far better suited to start a base for an apple fritter than anything else. I had hoped to send this batch of Chemnovatic out with a bang, but instead, more of a thud LOL. Not a terrible flavor, but not much of a donut. Sweetness was below mid level, and didn't appear to be hitting the ceiling at this level. Throughout the entire vape, I kept returning to the whole, Apple Fritter with most of the apple scooped out flavorset. If you're frittering, this might be a good place to start, but if you're donut'ing, you may want to press on. Finishing up this Chemno run with this one at **5/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Grape (Chemnovatic) 9% (6-27-20)** -- Holy grape punch to the face !!!! See where I'm going with this one ?? Ok, after using many grapes in my DIY time, it became clear that there were really only two (maybe three) kinds of grapes. Authentic, Candied/Soda, and perhaps a wine. What you are looking for in a grape will greatly influence which will be right for you. This one had me looking across the table for Radar O'reilly, because it was almost completely spot on for a Grape Nehi soda. Now, if you are looking for a more natural/authentic grape, this one may not be for you. Personally I loved this one. I can lean either way, if it's a great authentic, great, if it's a great grape soda, great. This one is almost perfect (struggling to find takeoffs). My current go to (as others have done) is TPA's grape juice, and FW's grape soda, as my grape base, but even that pairing wasn't perfect. Granted this one was mixed @ 9%, it showed NO signs of hitting the ceiling, and was gape-a-licious at this testing weight. Sweetness was mid level, and it did favor a grape nehi soda, hands down. No carbonation, no fizz, but very damned close. Because it leaned heavily towards a grape soda, I didn't get any subtle nuances like the skin, or sparkling bright top notes, but it literally rolls over you like a giant grape steam roller at this percentage. For my tastes, it was about a perfect incarnation, as could be had. If I was forced to split it, soda vs. natural, I'd have to leave it at 75% soda, 25% natural for comparison. For my grape tastes, and needs, I couldn't ask for more, from a single flavor. **10/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________


**Lemon (Chemnovatic) 9% (7-1-20)** -- Wow, this one IS a complex lemon flavor. Complex ?? I've been getting all kinds of different profiles from this one while vaping, and that really surprised me. Sometimes it was more of a lemon head-ish flavor, other times more lemonade-ish, and other times, a super full lemon wherein I could almost detect a cirtus oil finish. Wow, talk about an interesting flavor. Soo many subtle nuances, I think it will be hard to classify as a single noted flavor. Despite having all of the aforementioned profiles, and my inability to put the tank down, I can find NO direct/close comparison as it IS quite unique. I think because OF all of the different profiles contained in this one flavor, it's uses/usefulness will be quite a few. Obviously I could see it boosting a lemon tart, lemonade, lemon squares, but also just adding a bright punchy high end as well. Sweetness was mid level, and despite chain vaping it, could find NO off-putting notes, or florals, and at 9% it was very strong and full without being overflavored. Whether or not you're even in the market for OML (One More Lemon), this one SHOULD be on your short list, just so you can experience all of the different profiles. Well worth the purchase, and you will be able to use it across a wide array of mixes. It is a full spectrum Lemon which I find to be rare, with low/middle notes, and plenty of high end punch. Can't describe it any better than that. A very complex lemon, that covers the entire spectrum, with mid level sweetness, great body, and some high end punch on the top. Without question **10/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Lemon Cream Wafer (Chemnovatic) 7% (7-2-20)** -- I'm quite sure with all the hub-bub about rumors that Dinner Lady Lemon Tart used this flavor, and the ensuing Out Of Stock situation at many vendors will leave EVERYONE wanting to know the answer. Good news for you, is I have NO CLUE !!!!! I've never vaped DL LT, so I can't help you. What I can help with is this flavor, and how it vapes. Having just tested Chemno's Lemon, it's fairly probable that those compounds ARE in here as well. As a solo vape, this one is very, VERY good. Now, I'm not sure if it truly projects a Lemon Cream Wafer (cookie), but WOW, it IS very good. @ 7%, this could EASILY be considered a One Shot. It's got plenty of lemon punch that carries through the entire vape, but at the half way point, the cookie starts to peek out, and ride all the way to the end of the vape, finishing perfectly with the lemon. My very FIRST reaction was, "Wow, super great lemon, with a cookie, and some custard notes". Now when I say custard elements, you're NOT getting the VC slam like from CAP VC, but it feels like it's IN there, just hiding, peeking out from time to time. Very interesting. The cookie/bakery stays relatively linear throughout the vape as does the lemon. Sweetness might be a pinch above medium, and doesn't come across as fatiguing. There was also a certain "thickness" that seemed to be in there, that could RESEMBLE maybe some Meringue or Marshmallow, but not high enough to identify, but the "thickness" could not be denied. Overall, this was a great, full, somewhat complex flavor, and I will run this tank dry. I think it's soo good, that it will go on my must have list for this testing run. To my tastes, the lemon/custard elements set this apart from all of your regular suspects, i.e. CAP Lemon Meringue Pie, VT Lemon Meringue Tart, and WF Flapper Pie. For a really good (basically a One Shot) Lemon Cookie Tart (my words), you cannot go wrong with this. Vape it as is, tweak it a little bit, it's just a win/win all the way around. Is this the SECRET ingredient in Dinner Lady's Lemon Tart ?? Time will tell. For the purposes of this test, handily a **10/10**.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Passion Fruit (Chemnovatic) 7% (6-26-20)** -- While admittedly never solo'ing a Passion Fruit, but having used them quite a bit, this was going to be a double first for me. First PF SFT, and first Chemnovatic. First one on deck, after a 1 week sleep @ 7% was pretty damned tasty. It presented as a very nice, full PF, which seemed to cover the entire spectrum of notes, all in one flavor. Had the somewhat darker low end, with a generous helping of the more melony mid notes, with JUST enough high end punch to finish it off. That's about exactly how it vaped/tasted, in that order. Had a nice authentic almost fermented mini-push (as I call it), which helped tweak the overall experience, and kind of tied it all together. It was nice, fat, and full at this testing weight, with nothing off-putting, chemical or otherwise detracting. Having not SFT'd other PF's, this one seemed to be a little more unique in that it really captured the spectrum from somewhat dark, to mid, to high end. Sweetness was actually lowered than expected at mid, to mid-low which is always a bonus, so you could boost sweetness as/or when needed. Overall experience was GREAT with my first Chemnovatic flavor, and couldn't find any take aways. Nicely done, and super solid @ **9.5/10**.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Strawberry (Chemnovatic) 7% (6-28-20)** -- This one was interesting out of the gate, and not necessarily in a good Strawberry way. If any of you have even had a Luden's cough drop, that is exactly what came to mind. NOW, it did NOT take like cough medicine, but Luden's has a very unique almost medley taste, and that IS what this had. No medicine, no cough syrup, but the profile is a Luden's. The overall flavor impact, was somewhat light, considering the 7% mixing weight, and continued vaping did NOT reveal an IYF (In Your Face) Strawberry, but more of a very relaxed, cherry/strawberry blend ?? Had to quantify. Nothing off putting, nothing floral, and despite my reference to a Luden's cough drop, had nothing medicinal. Sweetness was mid level, and although I do NOT think I would add this to my SB shelf, it WAS interesting enough to finish the tester. With the SB field being very crowded, with some excellent SB's, this one will get lost in the suffle. As a pure SB, would have to rate down to **4.5/10**. Interesting, but weak, and not a focused SB.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

**Watermelon (Chemnovatic) 7% (6-27-20)** -- Let me share my FIRST thoughts on this one, out of the gate. "Wow, this is a great COTTON CANDY, with a little watermelon on the top". Those were my FIRSTEST first thoughts, and continued vaping did not change that. It's actually a GREAT cotton candy with a hint of WM. At no point, at this percentage, did I get an overwhelming "Wow, this is a watermelon" during the entire tester. There IS watermelon in there, but it's almost just on the top of the vape, not throughout the bottom and body of it. Sweetness was mid level, and the WM that I did get floating around on the top was good, very light, airy, with some red, white, and maybe rhind in there. The main body however just really tasted like a CC to me. Nothing off-putting, or floral at this weight, and the WM element was very relaxed. If I had to rate this as a CC, I'd give it a 10/10 without question, but as a WM, I'd have to go low, as is the sad case in reviewing flavors. I'll be charitable and leave it at **5/10** as a WM, but just remember, if you're looking for a cotton candy wanna be, with a hint of wm this might be a winner for you. I'll close this by stating, that even though it didn't WOW me as a WM, I AM going to finish the tank.
____________________________________________________________________________________

**Vanilla Pudding (Chemnovatic) 7% (7-3-20)** -- TWO LEFT on deck. When I smelled this when mixing it up, I was reminded of CAP's VC. Vaping it, I can see why. There is indeed a fairly forward custard element in this Vanilla Pudding, so that may make you WANT it, or HATE it already. I was never a huge fan of CAP VC, but use it daily to add body in custard/creams/bakeries despite that fact. I think my FIRST take on this was more of a reduced CAP VC with some mid level vanilla, and a touch of bakery. My current go to Vanilla Pudding fav would be Flavorah's hands down, with Vape Train's Pudding Base as a runner up. This one wasn't bad by any means, and was actually quite good. Did it leave me thinking "pudding", not really. It actually could be used quite easily by not CAP VC fans for a custard experience with the eggy slap to the face. All in, this could be easily used, almost like a custard, a mixer, and as a baser for a pudding, but not sure if for my tastes, I'd leave it AS a pudding. Sweetness was below mid level, no overt eggy-ness, but still with very CAP VC like qualities. Didn't seem to be pushing the ceiling on this @ 7%, and was nicely full, and almost rich at this testing weight. Everyone seems to have a different take on "puddings", so your mileage will vary, and although pretty good as a custard like bakery flav., not feeling the super pudding here. Good enough to place at a **7/10**.

Thanks out to @Timwis for dropping the bomb that Chefs was releasing their OWN Super Concentrates, and out to @lukeloop who was helping figure out a realistic testing weight for these.

Super huge thanks out to Leah @Chefs_Flavours for sending out these BRAND NEW Super Concentrates under the Chefs label. These are BRAND NEW, and no information was available, but their website suggests mixing rates of 0.2-0.5%. Going to mix these all at the higher end of 1.5%, after at least a 1.5 week steep to allow me to get through the recent new FA flavors on deck.

I had considered adding this entire run to the original Chefs Flavours Tasting Notes thread, but those flavors were being used at 20-30% ?? !!! Clearly these brand new flavors appear to be Super Concentrates, and hence their own, new area. All tested at 1.5%, 70/30, using the beloved SteamCrave RDTA v.1, with fresh cotton and burned coils between all tests.

MIXING NOW !!!!

**Apple (Toffee Apple) (CSC) 1.5% (6-11-21)** -- First one on deck from Chef's. My very first thoughts were, this was one of the better green/red apple flavors I have tried. Nicely acidic, with a perfect mix of sweet and tart. At 1.5% it felt really good, and in no way hitting the ceiling. The toffee was much lower in the mix, and some times almost avoided detection. You could tell it was there, as it was more complex than just a simple green apple. For my tastes, I would have preferred more toffee, but as it would, that portion of this flavor was fairly low in the overall mix. The apple continued to present as fresh till the end of the tank, and it never grew fatiguing. Even with the very low toffee notes, this one stayed interesting, fresh, and tasty. Take offs only for the low toffee notes. Felt really good and freshly green @ **8.1/10**.

**Biscuit (Speculoos) (CSC) 1.5% (6-12-21)** -- Living in the US, we have a much different meaning for "biscuit", than across the pond where it is more of a cookie. A [Speculoos Biscuit](Speculoos) is actually a spiced biscuit (cookie), and man was it good. Regardless on which side of the pond you reside, my tastebuds nailed this as an almost pumpkin spiced cookie, WITHOUT the pumpkin. The ingredients appear to vary from country to country, but seeing repeated mentions of *cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, ginger and clove,* yup, yup, yup. With this little gem floating in between an almost pumpkin spiced, to an almost gingerbread spiced cookie (biscuit), it was a TREAT. At 1.5% it was perfect, and was fairly complex with all of the spice elements floating around, with none taking center stage. You could EASILY push/pull this DIRECTLY into a full on pumpkin spiced, or a gingerbread by adding one or the other, but as it stood, a VERY good flavor. During the testing, I had to FIGHT the urge to run to the rack, and grab some FLV Frosting, or LA Cream Cheese Icing. Wow, if you like, want, or need a spiced cookie (biscuit), this one WILL get it done. Nothing off putting, and the fact that the spices continued to shift, and morph around, it stayed interesting throughout. I went into this flavor expecting a Bisquik type biscuit, but found a deliciously complex spiced cookie instead. Complex-edly set at a **9.8/10**.

**Blackberry (CSC) 0.25% (6-19-21)** -- OK, this one was STRONG. Started out at 1.5%, 0.75%, and 0.50% and it folded over on itself, and went full soapy. Reduced to 0.25%, re-steeped, and it can NOW be evaluated. Even at this much reduced weight, the blackberry was still present, and just at the very end, I will still getting that off, soapy note. VERY reduced, and almost undetectable but still there. The blackberry itself was a mid to dark berry, that had some nice sweetness and a tart bite at the end. An actual sparkly blackberry of sorts. Because I reduced to 0.25% and I was still getting a lil' soap, you will have to use caution when using this, and it will have to be used very low. As it stood, at the lower 0.25% rate, with the plusses and minuses, felt fair @ **5/10**.

**Blueberry Cheesecake (CSC) 1.5% (5-12-21)** -- Yum, yum, yum. I have a Blueberry Cheesecake as one of my ADV's, so any BBC will have a hard road to plow with me. This one was yummy right at the start. Creamy cheesecake, crust, and some blueberry. The cheesecake was velvety smooth, with no sharp cheese notes, and the graham cracker crust reminded me of TPA's CGC. The BB was more recessed in the mix, and harder to nail down, but the bits I got seemed to a a Wild/Fresh mix. You could easily push the BB with your BB of choice. At 1.5% it was full, and plenty creamy, and I could find nothing out of place. At almost mid-level sweetness, and only minor takeoffs for a slightly recessed blueberry, it was hard to fault this one. Solidly placing it at **9.2/10**.

**Cake (Sponge Cake) (CSC) 1.5% (6-13-21)** -- Classic sponge cake isn't overly complicated, with eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla, and sugar, but I've found it harder to reproduce as a flavor. Chef's did a pretty good job doing it however. All of the profiles here combined to a pretty realistic sponge cake. At times I almost got a hint of AP, but, it was subdued and in no way detracted from the delicious cake. About mid level sweet, and tasting fine at 1.5%, this one was a blank slate with which you could easily push it up with some strawberry, and/or whip cream, and really let it shine. As it stood, pretty convincing with no off-notes, and as exciting as a sponge cake it, they pretty much nailed it. If you're needing a cake, that's spongy, this one should be on your rack. Easily **9/10**.

**Cereals (CSC) 1.5% (6-13-21)** -- A generic cereal base, would be what best sums this one up. Nothing fancy, nothing stand out, and fairly neutral cereal-ish base. Got a few of the same notes here from their Sponge Cake, but in far reduced amounts. Hints of AP, and no real grainy-ness to speak of. Didn't feel heavy @ 1.5%, and nothing off-putting to be found here. Could easily be used as a "baser" and tweaked as needed. Minor take-offs for some missing grains, but overall, was an effective cereal base. Felt good at **6.5/10**.

**Coconut Macaroons (CSC) 1.5% (6-13-21)** -- Many people don't actually even know what's IN a Coconut Macaroon, and they're not complicated. Coconut, sweetened condensed milk, egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Did Chef's nail this flavor ?? YES !!! ---END of REVIEW----. Kidding. Wow, talk about an IMPACT from merely 1.5% of a flavor, this one has it, and it's great. I think many times, peoples tastes regarding coconuts vary wildly, so keep that in mind any time you read a review of coconut flavors. For my tastes, this one had a perfect pairing of both a creamy-ish coconut, and almost a raw coconut. A tick above mid-level sweet, with a super delicious sweetened creamy back end. The coconut had no "greasy-ees", or "oily-ees", and at the very end it finished with a nice astringent, acidic note, which really carried the entire flavor home. Had the coconut been purely creamy, this wouldn't have been there, and it WOULD have been missed. Tasting this flavor, really had a beginning, middle, and end. Quite interesting, and super delicious, and despite emptying two testers, I could find NO fault with this one. If you like coconut, this one might just end up on your short list. Unquestionably **9.8/10**.

**Crazy Rainbow (CSC) 1.5% (6-13-21)** -- As a general rule, I do not use any cooling agents, and despite trying them all, have never enjoyed them. This is a disclaimer, as this flavor HAS cooling in it, so please keep this in mind. It's a shame, because the flavor(s) are actually quite good, BUT, if you are an anti-cooler like me, the cooling can just get in the way. I would wish that Chef's would carry this exact flavor, but without the cooling as an option. As far AS the flavor/profiles, they're actually quite good, but somewhat obscured from me due to the aforementioned. I checked Chef's product page, and didn't see any mention of the cooling but they billed it as a Lemon, Black Currant, Red Fruit medley, and that sounds about right. The lemon, and red fruits are the two main profiles, with possibly some currant in there. The cooling is fairly prevalent and persistent throughout, and your like/dislike will obviously come into play here. The red fruit/lemon pairing is actually really good, and felt perfect at 1.5%, and with below mid level sweetness, was interesting, non-fatiguing, and damned fine tasting. It would be nice if Chef's stated the cooling on their page, and I'll contact them about that. As it stood, from a flavoring perspective, the pairings, were quite unique, fresh, and damned good, so I'll rate on that aspect of it. If you're a "no cooler" like me, stay away, but if you're not, and you're in need of an interestingly unique pairing of Lemon, Red Fruits, and a smidge (maybe) of currant, you should try this one. **9.1/10**.

**Creme Brulee (CSC) 1.5% (6-13-21)** -- A rich custard base, topped with a crisp, caramelized sugar, who wouldn't like that ?? !!! The first thing that struck me with this one, was how well Chef's did the caramelized sugar. Custards are plentiful, but a good caramelized sugar, almost burnt, but not bitter can be hard to get right, and they did. Underneath it, was a nice somewhat relaxed vanilla custard. Eggs and vanilla were present, but it wasn't overly eggy. The sugar topping was ALMOST the star of the show here, but not entirely. The custard held it's own, and worked flawlessly with the topping, and what a one-two punch it was. Above mid-level sweet, and it tasted nicely full at 1.5%. Nothing off-putting, just a great tasting experience. The overall creamy level was about a 6/10, so it was not a super dense creamy flavor, but honestly, after you start tasting it, that won't matter. Further testing revealed that the vanilla did take front seat from any egg notes, which was nice as opposed to a heavier egg-centric custard. Again, perfect pair between the custard and topping. More than rich enough to get your attention, but not oppressively so. All in, this might JUST be the best Creme Brule I've tasted. I could find NO faults with this one. Handily a **9.9/10**.

**Custard (CSC) 1.5% (6-14-21)** -- If anyone knows how to completely ignore DAAP concerns, and dive RIGHT into the Custard pool, head first, it's me. Matter of fact, I still need to try @woftam's Custard .... now that I think about it !!!!! OK, what in the hell do we have here. Hero / Zero ?? I'm leaning towards HERO people !!!! Now, we don't have to re-hash all the "What type of custard do you like" conversations, as we ALL have different tastes. I've got hundreds of uses for Custards thus far, and I use a wide array of them. I prefer a LESS heavy eggy custard, most of the time. This one presented as a rich, semi dense, not overly eggy custard, paired with an almost delicious pudding, BUT, there was something else. What in the hell ?? It's almost like a lighter donut/fried dough profile. I thought I smelled donut when smelling the bottle, but wasn't sure. Yup, that's what I'm getting, BUT, at a much lower ratio, as opposed to the Custard/Pudding. At first I wasn't sure, but now, I think it just works. I stopped focusing soley on it, and the sum total of the profiles, and it just works. Simple, lighter, but still heavy enough to grab your attention. Nice and tasty at 1.5%, and at about mid level sweet, having a hard time finding issues with it. For you numbers people, it was like 40% Custard, 40% Van. Pudding, and 20% Donut, and that's what you get. If you like those three profiles, and ratios, you'll love this flavor. For MY palate/tastes, I can't go lower than **9.75/10**.

**Donut (CSC) 1.5% (6-16-21)** -- Of ALL the donuts I've tested over the years, it seems like there's really only THREE things that come into play. Yeasty, oily (fried dough), and frosting. It's much harder than it seems to get it right, or there'd be MORE good ones. Chef's donut seemed to lean more heavily to the fried dough side, as opposed to the yeasty side. Right there, that may define it as a hero or zero already, but that's for YOU to decide. The FROSTING on this one, was STELLAR, and really stood out during the testing. I did NOT get any Play-Doh which was a huge plus (Glazed Donut you know I'm talking about you), and I struggled to come up with a describe-able fried dough to yeasty ratio. It leaned so heavily towards a fried dough, that I barely got any yeast notes. Maybe 80 fried dough / 20 yeast, if even that, maybe even higher. Regardless of the exact ratio, suffice it to say that if you prefer a fried dough donut, you will like this one, if not, well, hehe, you know the deal. The frosting was almost really the star here, as it would appear that I prefer a more yeasty base, than a fried dough, BUT, those are MY tastes, not yours. At 1.5% it was very strong, and could PROBABLY be dropped to 1.0% with ease, at least for SFT, mixing weights will always vary depending on your goals, and supporting flavors. To try and sum up the THREE parts with this one, I would have to guess at 60% fried dough, 30% glazed/frosting and 10% yeast. Continued testing verified that to be pretty close. I did not get any off notes at this testing weight, and sweetness was above mid level, and the frosting/glazed and I became fast friends during this test. While preferring a more yeast based approach, this one was fairly convincing, and felt good at **8/10**.

**Lemon (CSC) 1.5% (6-18-21)** -- For me, lemons always fall into one (or more) of the basic three types Natural, Lemonade, or Candied. The lemonade style would be half way between natural and full candied. Chef's was a pretty interesting Lemon, because it seemed to straddle all three. At 1.5% it was fairly full, and didn't taste overflavored, so you won't have to worry about micro drops LOL. Sweetness and tartness were both on point with just enough of each, but not too much of either. Because it kind of straddled the fence on the three types, it was an interesting flavor, as sometimes it shifted around to more of one or another, but stayed true to all 3. Depending on your needs this one should prove to be very versatile, and allow for broad usage, as it wasn't pigeon holed into just one category or profile. It was actually surprisingly good, on it's own. All in, for a broad spectrum lemon this one was pretty good, with nothing out of place. Felt solid @ **9.2/10**.

**Marshmallow (CSC) 1.5% (6-19-21)** -- I was immediately struck by how good this one captured the powdered sugar on the outer layer of a marshmallow, maybe even better than most others. The vanilla twinged mallow followed behind that, with a fairly clean finish. I wouldn't say it was overly heavy in the mouthfeel dept., but still present. Fairly neutral except for some vanilla notes, and it leaned more towards the smaller "cereal" marshmallows than anything else. Tasted just fine at 1.5%, and COULD even be used a smidge higher if needed. It's sharp edges tempering will have to be checked when mixing obviously. All in, a very accurate, almost small, cereal type marshmallow that excelled at the outer, powdery finish more than anything else. No off notes, and was actually quite good as a solo. Powderly placed at **8/10**.

**Milk Fresh (CSC) 1.5% (6-20-21)** -- Milks, milks, milks, the bane of my testing hehe. Why ? Solo'd they can be fair non-descript, and their true power is in mixes wherein they temper/smooth/cream up recipes. Chef's as a solo was fairly non-descript, and almost presented as more an almost powdered milk. This aspect could be smelled more than tasted. Just at mid level sweet, it didn't feel overpowered at 1.5%. Semi creamy, with a slight mouthfeel, and did not have a strong dairy note like TPA's. All in, this was a relaxed Milk flavor, that had aspects of a powdered milk. **7.9/10**.

**Mint (Fresh) (CSC) 1.5% (6-20-21)** -- Whew, we've got some cooling in this one (coming from a non-cooling guy). As far as a "fresh" mint, I didn't get an entirely "fresh" from this one, but also got more of a candied mint, or almost a Wriggley's Double Mint Gum mint. It presented as almost a 50/50 mix of the two. Initially the cooling was pretty intense, but as the test wore on, it subdued a bit. Sweetness was slightly above mid level, and that might be what helped pull the candied mint profile more forward. Tasted good at 1.5%, and nothing off-putting, and I was continually reminded of Wriggley's gum. Not a gum flavor, but the flavor profile(s). Minor take offs for the fresh/candy split, but it was good as it stood. **8.7/10**.

**Mojito (CSC) 1.5% (6-20-21)** -- Ironically while testing this Mojito, I was HAVING a [Mojito](https://i.imgur.com/wFVuqcB.jpg), so this was going to be interesting. Having just tested Chef's Mint Fresh, I had assumed it would be in here, and it was. This flavor had the same nice mint, somewhat sweetened, paired with a great lime. Missing however was the Rum, unless it was so low in the mix as to be undetectable. It tasted perfect at 1.5%, and was above mid level sweet, and the pairing of the mint and lime were nicely done with neither overpowering the other. As a virgin Mojito, wasn't bad at all, and clearly you could spike up some rum if needed. Minor takeoffs for the missing rum, as the rest was very spot on. **9.1/10**.


**Oats (CSC) 1.5% (6-20-21)** -- I think it's safe to say I was COMPLETELY unprepared for this flavor. Not a lot of oats out there, because it's HARD to get right. I assumed this would be some general bakery with grains, passed off as a "kinda close" flavor. Boy was I wrong. FULL on, OATS !!!! No puffed wheat, not corn, not AP, OATS !!!! It made me immediately think of Quaker Oats, no questions, no hesitations. Below mid level sweet, and the best part, it wasn't FLAVORED. Blank slate, spot on oats. That's it, that's all. Was delicious at 1.5%, and man, the opportunities to use this one will be endless, and you could tweak to your hearts content. This, ladies and gentlemen is an impressive flavor, and I'm glad I added this one to the list. If you want some spot on oats, nicely sweetened, this is the one you should get. Full stop. **10/10**.

**Peanut Butter (CSC) 1.5% (6-22-21)** -- Good Peanut Butters are out there, but they can be hard to find. Typically PBs fall into two categories, Dry and Salty, or Creamy and Sweet. Chef's seems to have figured out how to MERGE the two !!! Yes, an almost perfect combination of a creamy, sweet, salty, peanut butter with some dryness which added to the complexity. At 1.5% it was full, present, and delicious, with nothing out of place. It was about mid-level sweet, and leaned slightly towards the creamy sweet, but only slightly. No bitterness could be found, and there was a certain earthy-ness that kept it grounded. Soup to Nuts might just be applicable here, as this one covered a lot of bases, and checked most of the boxes. I think it could be best summed up like a Creamy Jif peanut butter paired with crunchy salted nuts. With it's authenticity, complexity, and dual personalities I could see many uses for this one. Easily **9.75/10**.

**Vanilla Ice Cream (CSC) 1.5% (6-24-21)** -- 2nd to last on deck in this huge series of Chef's new SC's. My initial reaction to this was, "This might be the BEST Vanilla Ice Cream" I have ever tried. 10ml later, that hasn't changed, and that's kind of a big deal. At 1.5% this one was a real show stopper, which had all the notes needed to convince you of it's namesake. Missing were some of the commonly found dairy notes in some flavors, that were dairy, but not really Ice Cream. Chefs did a really bang up job on this one. Incredible mouthfeel for an ice cream, and while not "buttery" like another well known VIC, it didn't need it, you didn't miss it, and actually you didn't even WANT it. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one, but needless to say, all the players were here, creamy, rich, present, but not overbearing vanilla, and loads of mouthfeel. A few ticks above mid sweet, and no pepper, no off notes, no nonsense present. For a great, clean vanilla ice cream that truly captured all aspects of a VIC, this one should be on your rack. For anyone else, it should be on YOUR rack too !!!! I would rate it at 10.1/10, but I promised I'd never do that again. Easily, **10/10**.

**Waffle (CSC) 1.5% (6-27-21)** -- With this Waffle, this massive first run of flavors from Chefs will be completed. I have tested more than a few Waffles, and when I smelled this one, it immediately reminded me of a now discontinued INW Waffle-YC. Having never solo'd INW's I can't do a direct A/B comparison, but suffice it to say this one was very good. Missing were some of the almost cake-y notes that some waffles have, and in turn this one had some great mid and dark tones to it. It was more like a whole wheat waffle than a lighter one. No overt wheat, but the grainy notes, and slightly thicker, darker-ness was easily observed, AND enjoyed. No sharp edges, or off notes, and was a little below mid level sweet. No overt butter or syrup, and that left it as a deliciously blank waffle canvas to work with. I really enjoyed the darker richness of this one. At 1.5% it almost felt like it could use a smidge more, but was in no was lacking. All in, this one presented as a great, somewhat darker, almost whole wheat waffle with some smoother, lighter notes. High points given for no obvious butter or syrup, leaving it ready to work. Easily a **9.5/10**.

Re-posting these reviews over to ECF.

https://..................../recipe/3440128/Capella+Silverline+SFT

**Cinnamon Sugar (Silverline) (CAP) 2.0% (2-8-20)** -- Any cinnamon flavor I've tested AFTER trying Flavorah's Rich Cinnamon, has an almost impossible task, of trying to stay relevant (yes the FLV IS that good). So, disclaimer aside, decided to go conservative on this one @ 2%, for cinna safety. At this % it was nicely full, with mid level sweetness, and had no off-putting or harsh notes. Cinna's can be tricky, and some are just plain unsafe, and/or harsh. I know all of CAP's cinna tricks, so I was curious to see where this one fell. To my palate, this was a close cousin to the cinna in CAP's Cinnamon Danish Swirl. No bakery, no nothing, except cinna and sweet. As far as uses, and mixers, I could see this working perfectly in bakery recipes. How does it compare to the ivory tower goddess from FLV ?? Ehhhh, it gets beat down, but, I don't think anyone wlll ever beat FLV regarding cinnamon. With that said, it's not a bad cinna, and even at 2%, considering CAP's Silverline is typically their weaker line, this one held it's own, and worked well here. It was nicely full at 2%, but nowhere near as rich as FLV's, which again, was expected. On it's own, not a bad sweetened cinnamon that would DEF. work in almost any bakery, with no cinnamon hot present. Feels good at **7/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Fruit Circles (Silverline) (CAP) 8.0% (2-8-20)** -- I had heard rumors this one WAS the fruit loops go to, and after trying almost every other "looper" out there, they all seemed to attempt to tame the lemon pledge from TPA's Fruit Circles to varying degrees of success. Not sure what to expect from CAP's "lower" line, I was very surprised by this one. Maybe Silverline should be called the weaker line, not the lower line, as this one was QUITE good. Clearly not as strong as many of my regular CAP flavors, this one presented a load of cereal/somewhat grainy out of the gate, AND, I was NOT assaulted with any Lemon Pledge !!!!! That's two plusses already, and the very even tempered fruit levels added a third plus, with the possible milk element, and middle of the road sweetness level sealing the deal. It was so good that dare I say it COULD be a single flavor daily vaper ?? I think maybe so. With CAP costs per ml averaging to 0.13/ml, and the Silverline averaging 0.09/ml (30ml bottles from BCF), you can still save money, even assuming a higher % usage rate. It felt pretty good @ 8% as a solo, with (repeating), a nice cereal/grainy note full center, with a very even, not overpowering fruit medley that vaped like a damned fine fruit loops. I tested it WITH some small amounts of TPA Fruit Circles, but it almost felt better without. You could clearly push and pull this a bit, maybe add some more cream/milk, but as a single flavor, CAP really got this one right. **9.6/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Apple Snacks (Silverline) (CAP) 7.0% (2-8-20)** -- It's starting to look like the Silverline line is getting cereals right. Now this doesn't mean a single flavor would be better than a crafted recipe, but this one might save you a LOT of time. It's missing the ultra bright high end that a Fuji could bring to this, but it does have a very accurate apple, to the original cereal. Speaking of cereal, it's got plenty of it in here, and quite frankly, tastes a LOT like the cereal, more than any other companies offerings. I read another review wherein, there was a "it even has the cardboard like taste that the cereal does", and that actually IS accurate. Doesn't mean you're vaping cardboard, but if you've eaten the cereal, you get it, it's IN here. You can almost taste the little red flecks (red apple maybe) in the Apple J cereal in here. Was really on point @ 7% it was very full, almost rich, and the sweetness was right in the middle of the scale. I didn't get any specific milk, but there may be an element of it in here, thickening up the mix. Some slight (very slight) hints of some spice, but they blend perfectly in to the mix. All in all, this is a GREAT Apple Jacks flavor, out of the bottle, no added flavors needed. About the only thing I could even THINK of adding, might be a super smidge of Fuji, just to pop the apple, but even without, you're not left wanting. Almost perfect IMO. **9.8/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Biscuit (Silverline) (CAP) 5.0% (2-9-20)** -- LAST one on deck for this run. I KNEW this one was different the moment I loaded the Steam Crave up with it. Smelling while filling and all that, and I kept getting a Coconut ?? What ?? !! Well sure enough. This one immediately conveyed a sweet biscuit, but a COCONUT biscuit at that. Wait, what ? Yes. What biscuits do most of us use ?? INW Biscuit, and probably Jungle Flavors Biscuit. INW is a real traditional American, Bisquik like dry unsweetened. The Jungle Flavors is less dry, more sweet, and possibly more European styled. This one leaned heavily towards the JF Biscuit, because it was sweeter, not dry, and had quite a bit of Coconut in it. How much ?? Maybe along the lines of how much you get from TPA's Cheesecake Graham. Now, what's surprising, is it was pretty damned good as a sweet coconut biscuit. Now what's bad, is there's no coconut IN the name LOL. Unlike a more neutral (either dry or sweet) biscuit, this WILL limit where you can use it. The even funnier thing is, the coconut wasn't bad at all, and was actually quite good. Not greasy (you know who you are FA), not floral, not candied, but a bakery coconut. There you have it, it's a sweet, coconut biscuit, game over. Because of the very present (but quite good) coconut, will have to tick this one down a few, as despite being able to use this in almost any coconut bakery, using as a straight biscuit will be hard. Great taste though, and I can't stress that enough, but as a "biscuit" will have to drop to **5.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________


**Butter Pecan (Silverline) (CAP) 5.5% (2-8-20)** -- IMO, Flavor West has the Butter Pecan to beat, so not sure where this one will rank. First vaping did reveal some Pecans with maybe some creamy elements mixed in. I didn't get the butter I expected, which left me wanting in that regard. As far as the pecan portion, it was not terribly done, not stellar, but above average. @ 5.5%, it was full and didn't feel weak, with no off notes. It's a shame to mark this one down as the pecan was good, but the creamy elements didn't make up for the butter part. Creamy pecan might be better, and I think Flavor West has spoiled me on BP. A great pecan but missing much of the butter about sums this one up. Above average, but in the average realm none the less. Leaving this one at **6.5/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________

**Crunchy Frosted Cookie (Silverline) (CAP) 5.0% (2-8-20)** -- Mmmmm, this one'sa good one. Knew it on the first vape. It's got some has(es), and has(nots). What it has is a almost velvety smooth texture, almost like a very expensive frosting (duh frosted cookie) that is hard to convey how smooth it is. The main cookie element is exactly what you'd expect from a light sugar cookie, and you can almost taste the sprinkles on top. The sweetness is mid-high on this, which is expected for a (duh) frosted cookie. Super velvety smooth, not overly rich, but sweet, tasty, and very full @ 5%. The moment I tasted it I immediately thought of a few recipes that would benefit from this one. Now the cookie is def. in there, with plenty of the tell-tale bakery notes, but it's lacking in some of the grainy-ness that would better define the cookie part. Now, does that leave you wanting when vaping it. Not really, but just an observation. For a delish sugar cookie, that seemlessly blends into a super smooth frosting with (almost) sprinkles on the top, this will get you there. As a mixer I could see this being used quite a bit. In comparison CAP's Sugar Cookie has much more mid tones, lacks the frosting and high end sugary punch that this one gives you. Some vanilla may be in there, but the lighter sugar cookie and frosting steal the show here. Only take-off would be for some missing grain to drive the delicious bakery elements home. **9.2/10**.
________________________________________________________________________________________


**Whipped Marshmallow (Silverline) (CAP) 5.0% (2-9-20)** -- Getting near the bottom of this little group, and being a Marshmallow lover, I'm always on the prowl for a good one to mix with. At 5% this MM was nice and, well, Marshmallowy. My current go to's are FA MM, and TPA MM and each behave quite a bit differently, and taste different, so trying to figure out where this one falls in between them will be a challenge. To my tastes, this one almost fell in the MIDDLE of them. I was getting many of the real mallow notes that I got from my FA, and some of the sweeter high end notes from the TPA. Because this is a Single Flavor Test, it's outside the scope of this review to discuss using it as a blending agent, or any possible muting effects, if any, but it was a great MM. Whipped always implies a lighter, aerated type of flavor, and if this makes sense, it was lighter, but not light. Confused ?? Good, let's continue. As far as candied vs. gooey, this one leaned towards gooey which I think will give it broader uses. Some vanilla-ish elements in there for good measure, and it was a surprisingly good vape solo @ 5%. This one surprised me, and am going to go high on the rate with it accordingly. Nice vanilla-ish, goey Marshmallow that has pretty good mouthfeel, but not overly dense, with some restraint in the sweetness department. Feels really good at **9/10**.
