I received my new flavorings today and mixed up small 1ml batches of all 10 and have to say only one that I did not care for.
I'll have to get my mad mixing skills on later on today....happy birthday to me.

Was it a Flavor West flavor? Some are really good and some, not so much.

The caramel mocha has a nice balance of flavor. I think it is better than tpa caramel cappucinno. The flavor is more rounded and more atty/carto friendly.

I am definitely going to place an order soon for the FE version of this. I can't imagine a flavor that would vape cleaner at 3% then the CC mixed at less then 1% I tried another version of the Caramel Mocha that had a weird undertaste to it and was not particularly good. I will add it to my list to try soon :)

No, actually I was lucky with to Flavor West flavors and the 20% was right on for me, the only one a bit funky to me was the FE PinaColda. I now know why I did not like some vendor juices. May try this one at a lower % or trade it with someone. I am so excited about all of this. I am vaping the last bit of my Fav Vendor juice in my CE2 MAP tank as it clog my cartos way too quick and was only getting 2 days from a carto. With the FE tobacco I have yet had to change a carto. Funding is real tight right now and with these new yummie flavors it really make DYI easier.

I did not care for the Pina Colada or Pineapple either. They both had a strange taste to them.
Glad to hear that you are finding some that work so well for you though :)

Not officially, of course, but which one do you prefer so far and why?
I have tried the Te Ry4 and the TE Ruyan 4. They are both good. However the Ruyan has more pronounced flavor. I have not officially reviewed the flavor yet.

The caramel mocha has a nice balance of flavor. I think it is better than tpa caramel cappucinno. The flavor is more rounded and more atty/carto friendly.

I tried the Real Cig as a standalone today. In no way shape or form is this flavor the same as the other Real Cig.

I mixed it at 3%. It's very dry. The taste reminds me of Linda's (TPA) Tobacco Flavor. I find that it has the similar flavoring compound. It has a floral or bleach note to it. Now I see that some liked it, and some did not.

One great thing is that I added 5 drops of VZ B&H, or the TE dunhill would work also. To add some body and richness that it lacked. It also diminished most of that floral-bleach note as well.

Just like the description says. It's a tobacco additive.

Have fun playing with this one.

I would say it would be a great mixer.

Hi My4
The Ruyan 4 taste less sweet to me. I am finding the caramel a real caramel and not the candy type. (My thoughts.) I do find the tobacco light as well as the vanilla undertones. I find it a pleasant vape. I don't care for extra sweetness but it does have enough sweetener to make the caramel shine in this one. It hasn't been a week but I think it is fully developed on flavor. I am vaping at 4.9 volts with a ce3 carto right now.

The TE regular ry4 is much sweeter.

Woo! Finally got my trial flavors in. So far so ehhh. Yes it's awesome you don't have to use much flavoring, so far hoping these get better in time! So today I received and mixed up some:

Blackberry
- Good but so far tastes too much like "cherry". Really doesn't taste like a blackberry... yet. A sweet yummy flavor none the less.

Cherry- I like it its juicy and good. However, does not remind me of what a bing or sweet "cherry" actually tastes like....yet. Will that change? Time will tell. Blackberry and Cherry do smell... basically the same.

Strawberry
- Total let down I'm ...... about because I'm really poor at the moment and completely wasted money on a sub-par strawberry flavoring because I just couldn't find any feedback before I ordered. Awesome. *end rant* Strawberry is one of my favorite fruits, flavors, foods, so I just have a high standard for any strawberry flavor. So far the only good strawberry flavor I've had yet is Capellas. Hopefully steeping will salvage but the flavoring itself doesn't smell "right" for a good strawberry flavor.

Grape- The grape smelled really good. Brought me back to a time I can't pinpoint in my childhood of gummy-like candies. Defiantly grape. This one I can't get the flavor quite going yet. Started about 2-3% may need more or just steeping. I really hope the flavor comes though because it smells like it would taste amazing if I can get the % right.

Minty Chocolate
- Not bad. I see this flavor being a good addition to a tobacco for a "marb smooth" goal in mind. Tweaking it a lot. The "mint" is very menthated to me as compared to "spearmint/peppermint" tasting. I have a hard time tasting chocolates to begin with so I'm really tweaking with it adding other flavoring in hopes of getting the chocolate to pop. Using too much of this flavor and the menthol would probably over-power almost anyone.

Parler Tobacco- I think it just needs more time to steep before I can really say much.

Tobacco Additive"Real Cig"
- Same as Parler because as of right now they seem to taste the same.


{Disclaimer~These opinions are based on just mixed juice. I hope to review and update my opinions when they have had more time to "steep"}
