In the process of ordering a few FA flavors I haven't yet tried. Looking for opinions/advice. I HAVE been happy so far with the dozen or so that I DO have.

Ordering-
Banana
Joy
Nonna's Cake
Cola (replacing my LA version, which was not that good)
Red Summer (Watermelon)
Catalan Cream

Considering-
Custard
Caramel (crap, they're out right now)
Condensed Milk

Like I said, just looking for what everyone thinks of these.

Thanks.

The only one you listed that I have experience with is Joy.

Joy is one of the rare FA flavors that I mix at or above 5% as a standalone. At 3%, the flavor is quite faint. At 5%, it tastes of fried sweet dough and powdered sugar (think funnel cake). at 7%, it's the same but with a stale beer background.

Overall, I'm not that impressed with Joy. It's not bad, just something I find myself craving. I ordered it out of curiosity right when it came out and has been sitting in my box of flavorings since the first test mix.

Joy is one of the rare FA flavors that I mix at above 10% as a standalone. At 10%, it tastes of fried sweet dough and powdered sugar (think funnel cake). at 15%, it's the same but with a stale beer background.

The funnel cake description is why I ordered it. I have found a few recipes mentioning it & was curious.
Thanks for the comment.

Custard is great. Very different from the other custards out there. Has a lemon note to it, mixes great with tobacco and fruit.

Catalan cream is also tasty. Similar to the custard but without the lemon taste.

Condensed milk is wicked strong and tastes just exactly like it is supposed to. I have both versions of this but somehow have not tasted the new one

I have so many flavors to get too lol. Your taste buds may vary of course.

Caramel was just average to me. I like cap caramel better. Inawera caramel is also decent.

Thanks for the info- I really appreciate it. My usual caramel has actually always been TFA, but I really like most all of my FA stuff I've been getting, so I thought I would give it a try, but ECX is currently out.
I placed my order a few minutes ago (heading out of town for a couple of days) & here is what I ordered. Some I was just replenishing stock & had used before, but some were new.

Cookie
Banana
Joy
Madagascar
Nonna's Cake
Pineapple
Cola
Whipped Cream
Red Summer
Catalan Cream
Marshmallow
Custard
Coconut
Condensed Milk

I would say, Cream Fresh, or Fresh Cream, depending were you buy, Is one of my most used flavors from Flavor Art. Here is my list of favorites by them in no particular order, these are one I rebought in large bottles.
1 Fresh Cream
2 Fuji
3 Vienna Cream
4 Marshmallow
5 Lemon Sicily
6 Cookie
7 Joy
8 Amber
9 Torrone
10 Meringue
I can vouch for Nicotine River having some of the best prices for Flavor Art in any size 60ml and up, although shipping is on the high side, I have had good luck with them. As for the Pineapple I would look for INW pineapple it is by far the best one I have tried, same for INW cola, for cola's. I was not happy with the Hype for Nonna Cake, It did not fill the void of FW sucrose ridden yellow cake that I was looking to replace. If you are new too useing FA or INW it is best to start at lower percentages as They are much more concentrated than Capella,TPA,or Flavor West.

I have used the Pineapple before, but I've mixed it with INW.
The only ones you listed I haven't had or currently have would be the Amber & the Torrone.
What can you tell me about those?
Thanks.

Well Amber is a enhancer of sorts that helps out fruits, Its kind of a earthy taste thats kind of hard to explain, I use it at very low %. I have also seen it used in some tobaccos. Torrone I could vape by itself at 3 or 4% it is a nouget with a almond and slight lemon taste.
Thank you!
