    Using the INW flavors took this recipe from being syrupy to more real fruit-like. The new %'s also seemed to make a difference in the overall profile of the liquid. Overall, this is a tart and dry mix. I'm curious to see what effect 2 drops of 0.9% saline will have, so I will add that and...

    Flavor West DIY flavor review

    I just wanted to pop in and say that FW Blood Orange is a concentrated flavor that will probably require <5% for most mixes. Most FW flavors require upwards of 15%-20%, but not the Blood Orange. And, it's a very good, authentic flavor.

    Bottle #1 - 5% NF Gooseberry, 2% TFA Lychee - The Gooseberry is more present now, especially on the exhale. The Lychee is strong on the inhale. I'm going to add 1% INW WG Raspberry to this to balance out the more sour notes of the mix. Bottle #2 - 4% NF Goosebrry, 2% CAP Fig - I'm not sure...

    I started steeping 3 15ml tobacco standalones, each at 5%, about 2 months ago. I have used some of the original 15ml to test different fruit flavors and DNB with them. I am going to decant 3ml from the remaining samples and test with new/different flavorings: Bottle #1 - FA 7 Leaves - When I...

    This is the last flavor of the last single flavor test batch, now at 13% concentration, tested on a LR510 atty: Orange Cream - TFA Still no change from 11% and 12%. The reason I keep testing this is I read somewhere that this flavor is good standalone at 15%. Fragrance: 1/5 Sweetness: 2.5/5...

    I wanted to redo this recipe because the other sample was developing nicely, but the flavors were just too saturated, even for me. I have let this new mix sit for a couple of days. This a fruit explosion mix, aptly called fruit salad by Mone415. The Dragon Fruit is the dominant note. It is...

    I figured about 3-4 weeks without heat/UC help. I actually have an UC that I just got about 2 months ago, but I've only used it once.

    Bottle #1 - NF Gooseberry 5%, Lychee 2% = The Lychee is still dominant and first noticed on the inhale. The Gooseberry is in the background still, more so than I would want. I'm going to add 3 more drops of Gooseberry to this mix. Bottle #2 - 4% NF Gooseberry, 2% CAP Fig = I am getting...

    Each of these is at 12% concentration, tested on a LR510 atty: Blueberry Extra - TFA No change from 10% or 11%. I'm going to call this flavor maxed out at 9%. Fragrance: 2/5 Sweetness: 2.5/5 Tartness: 0.5/5 Strength of taste: 3.5/5 Orange Cream - TFA No chemical taste so far, but...

    I'm going to keep reposting this set of flavors as I buy more that fall into this category and test them. This will prevent people from having to scroll back through the whole thread to find them: These are additive flavorings that are often used to mix with other flavors. I tested them at...

    New Fruit Flavors - Tested at approximately 20% in pure PG on my tongue. Sweet Watermelon - CAP - Definitely sweet, less candy-ish than TFA. I think I like TFA Watermelon better though. But, INA WG Watermelon is my favorite authentic real fruit flavor without the rind. Peach White - FA - This...

    This is just an odd fruit mix. It's not bad, it's just odd, at least to my palate. On the inhale, it's the 1% TFA Watermelon I taste, followed by a mix of the sour TFA Dragon Fruit and sharp TFA Mango note, then finishing with the Dragon Fruit. I don't detect the TFA Juicy Peach. I am going to...

    Bottle #1 - 2% TFA Lychee = These 2 flavors mix well, better than I thought they would. The tart bite of the Lychee compliments the sour grape-ish flavor of the Gooseberry. The 2% Lychee is too strong to my palate, so I'm going to add back in 1% Gooseberry (3 drops), and test in a few days...

    This is an interesting mix. I'm not sure what to think of it. The Dragon Fruit provides a constant background sour note. The Mango is medium strength, with a slight bite still. The Juicy Peach is now recognizable as a juicy note and sweet finish on the exhale. This is not something I would...

    Each of these is at 11% concentration, tested on a LR510 atty: Passion Fruit - TFA This now has a plastic taste to it. I'm going to stop testing this flavor and recommend using at 9% or less. Fragrance: 1/5 Sweetness: 2.5/5 Tartness: 0.5/5 Strength of taste: 3/5 Quince - TFA Slight perfume...
