Hello to one and All.
I'm seeking a little help here in finding a good Cocoa Concentrate Flavoring that is a clear liquid if at all possible? I've already wasted money on two different types so far and they aren't worth a crap.. The first being FA Cocoa which did have that cocoa smell and taste but there was just something about it and the fact is made my DIY flavors I created seriously Dark in color.. There is one Clone I am recreating that has cocoa in the mix that isn't dark in color but this stuff sure made it that way and after steeping just made the flavor totally different.. The second one was Hangsen Cocoa which had zero cocoa smell and zero cocoa taste, just a total waste of money all around.. So that being said any one out there know of a quality Cocoa flavoring that is Clear in color that is a true Cocoa flavoring without all the BS... Thanks in advance for everyone's time here...

I agree with this post (Might want to check out TFA Cocoa Essence).

HIC's Notes:

If you’re familiar with cocoa manufacturing, think of FA Chocolate as chocolate liquor before the cocoa butter is added, and think of FA Cocoa as cocoa powder. The two flavorings are often used together as the beginning of a complete chocolate flavor.

FA Chocolate can taste like Hershey’s syrup or chocolate liqueur, depending on the other flavorings you use with it. If you have chocolate extract in your kitchen, notice FA Chocolate smells just the same. When chocolate extract is used in cooking, it’s often used with cocoa powder - which is the flavor of FA Cocoa.

When using Cocoa and Chocolate together, more Cocoa than Chocolate gives you darker chocolate flavor. For milk chocolate use more Chocolate and less Cocoa. The two together are still not a candy flavor - you’ll have to add milky/sweet/caramel notes with other flavorings.

Acetyl pyrazine is a secret weapon for chocolate vapes, but it doesn’t have to be used in pure form. Flavorings like FA Cookie or TFA Cheesecake Graham can serve the same purpose while adding bakery or milky flavor. Many tobacco flavorings and most nut flavors contain acetyl pyrazine, if you’re interested in experimenting.

Like many other dark-colored flavorings, too much Cocoa can clog your wick/coil fairly quickly, and too much power will give you a burnt flavor. If you’re sub-ohming, beware. If you’re using more basic hardware, you’re in luck, because this is one amazing flavor at higher resistance. The higher quality your nicotine base is, the better Cocoa and Chocolate will taste. That’s true of most flavors, but the difference with these two can be drastic.
