I got some Mango from TFA and it has no flavor I was wondering if FlavourArt has more. I was also looking at the Guava from FA.

I did a mango search and the 4 th i tried was a keeper. A little goes a long way but taste is just what i was wanting. Crisp full and sweet without adding anything extra. Can go strong and doesnt mutate into perfume chemical thing. Start at 1 % is all but i do 3%. vaping Zone super concentrated (SC) Gourmet flavoring.

What percent were you mixing?
Did you let it sit at least over night?

Many flavors take a little time to reach strength.

12% TFA Mango 4% of something lite and let it steep for ten days and couldn't taste the Mango.

Normally on single fruit flavors it is good to leave for 24 hours and test. Lighter flavors may take up to 20%(subjective)
While some strong flavors will Pop as low as 5%.

Just did a Blueberry candy and Juicy Peach 2ml test at 5%
Blueberry Candy - almost no flavor
Juicy Peach - light but accurate clean taste.

While one may work great at 8-10% the other will likely need 12-15% to be satisfactory.

I at least left room percentage wise to add a little more if needed I'll add another 3% Mango and see.

michaelsil1, caught your other post in TFA about flavors.
Test your Mango at 5-6%
If it works your you then add you others at .5% to start
If the Mango goes away then you may need to try at 8% or so.
There is a fine line in what each flavor will do the others when mixed.

Have you tested your 2 creams together for balance between them?

I'm going to I thought I was safe with what I tried, but obviously I was wrong . This isn't as cut and dry as I thought.

Definitely gets complicated and no standard will work. i.e.:
Flavor West Blueberry - 15-25% for many
TPA Caramel Cappuccino - 1 Drop in 8-15ml.

I have several 3ml bottles and do 2ml test mixes. Easy to work percentages this way and makes enough to properly test. a Few very concentrated flavors have to go into 5 or 10 ml. test but I try to do a lot of research on those first as to not waste batches. Close can be vaped even if not great.:)

I use TFA Mango in quite a few juices at 5% and I can certainly taste the Mango part of the juice. SOOOOO I don't really have an answer for you except to say thyat I use and like TFA Mango very much!

How long do you let it steep?

Usually a week is optimum, but it usually tastes decent from the start

I was trying to avoid the accurate way to gauge flavors. :facepalm:

I used TFA Mango in a mix and didn't seem to have any issues. I definitely could taste it, no sweetener,no steeping. It's most frustrating when you mix something and get less then desired results. I feel for ya.

The Mango is starting to come through it took ten days for it to happen. At least I'm doing very accurate measuring and writing it down, gotta give me some credit.
