Flavor Wests Butterscotch seems to be the closest flavoring to me so far. I am still tinkering with percentages and other flavor additions. I have TFA and FA and do not care for either of them.
I mixed a previous batch of 70PG/30VG at 10% FW butterscotch with 2% TFA Vanilla Swirl, 2% TFA Caramel, 1% TFA Bavarian Creme and 1% EM. It's pretty good but the Vanilla does not taste like it belongs in there.
Today I am going to try a mix without the vanilla and using caramel candy instead of caramel and a tad more BC and EM. This time I am using all Flavor West flavors and will do 30PG/70VG.

I'd love to know the results! I still don't have a Butterscotch that I like. I'm thinking that making a good Butterscotch is as tough as making a good tobacco

If CoV doesn't use Nature's Flavors they use something almost EXACTLY like it. Many of us have tried it and seem to think it's most likely the main ingredient in the CoV CPN Butterscotch, but likely not the only one. High Desert Vapes sells Natures Flavors if you want to snag a bottle of it to sample, but i'm pretty sure it most likely has a small percentage of diactyl in it, the same as CoV's, but for a treat every now and then.... I dunno, you be the judge. I don't think you're likely to find one that tastes at all like the CoV one other than the NF to be honest or one without at least trace amounts of diactyl, though who knows?

Made a 30ml batch yesterday with
11.5% FW Butterscotch
1.5% FW Bavarian Creme
3.25% FW Caramel Candy

Then made three 5ml bottles from that batch and added Vanilla Butternut to one, Catalan Creme to the second and Butter Pecan to the third all at 1.5%. Still looking for that secret addition to light up my taste buds.

The 30ml batch is almost too sweet for me and I did not add any EM or sweetener. I may do another 5ml bottle adding a couple drops of bitter wizard and see what that will do. Have not used that yet. Guess it's time.

Ive also tryed butterscotch from TFA @20% and seems to be weak. Was trying to find a good mix for Buttery Nipple
20% Butterscotch / 10% Irish Cream 30/70................Its not tasting good at all

I've had the same problem. I have come to the conclusion that it is the TFA butterscotch.
Other members have made this same recipe, but throw in a combination of vendor's b-scotch.
I think Natures Flavors was in the mix, but don't remember for sure. The TFA b-scotch is very
dark.

Dang. That Bitter Wizard is potent. I drop in a 6ml mix pretty much trashed it. Thing I'll be making a few mils of diluted Bitter Wizard to use. Probably go 4 parts PG, 1 part Bitter Wizard and use it that way.
Any one else try the Bitter Wizard? How did it work for you?
