As the title says, what are your favorite Nature's Flavors juices?

I'm probably going to order Banana Nut Bread, Strawberry Short Cake, Danish Pastry, Blueberry Cheesecake, Malt, and Gingerbread.

I'm also thinking about something chocolate (not sure what yet), Pumpkin (if it's easy to make pumpkin pie with), and Date Nut. Gingerbread, malt, and date nut might be used with tobacco.

Any thoughts on these flavors or recommendations for others?

I have not tried that many but from what I have tried I do like the Caramel Cream and Mango. I have a friend that ordered a bunch and the Caramel Cream was all that she liked. I can't remember what she ordered though. If you do get these flavors please post back with what you think. Thanks.

Thanks. Nature's Flavors seems to be love it or hate it. I'm pretty sure I'm in the love it group though because I've used vendors that use their flavors in their pre-mixed juice. I can say that I'm not a huge fan of other juices people here love though, but maybe I haven't tried the right juices.

I'll have to check out the caramel cream.

Okay, so I have 6 bottles from nature's flavors, and I like how they taste a lot, way better then any of the other ones I have which are from the 3 most popular diy flavor places, they all taste chemically to me. From nf I like the caramel cream, french vanilla, cappuccino and especially the gingerbread, I like to mix them all and the gingerbread is super strong ginger.

What I don't like is that the other 2 flavors I got from them, butterscotch and cake batter have some sort of sediment in them which must be a result of thier extraction process, the other 4 don't appear to have that problem and are almost clear. Maybe I'll try and filter the sediments out through a coffee filter? Oh, and these are the ones for coffee and tea. Anybody else have this same issue with nf?

Oh, the butterscotch is triple concentrated and has a ton of stuff floating when around when I shake it, and the cake batter is regular flavor and has less junk in it, but enough to build up inside the cap. Your thoughts...?

The butterscotch is heavenly. Maybe just gentle heating to resolublilize. Funny my 4oz bottle has no sediment.

The flavor tastes just like COV butterscotch.

I've also used the chocolate, hazelnut, caramel creme, and 3x blackberry.

I'll give the gents heating a shot, and if that doesn't work I'll probably try filtering through a coffee filter. I was hoping it would be like the cov butterscotch...

Yeah funny my bottle has no visible sediment. Another way is to let the bottle sit and the sediment will settle then pipete off the top.

I made a sample at 5% with about 50:50 VG:pG blend. It was good and IMHO the flavor profile IS COV butterscotch. Boosted the flavor to 7.5% and seemed to diminish. There may also be a little else in COV. I'm thinking about doing another sample with 6% NF 3x butterscotch and 2% NF caramel cream.

Good luck

I've been using the nf caramel cream, but I just read in one of the Diacetyl threads here that it has Diacetyl in it, along with a few other nf flavors... I think it's in the cream and butter flavors, and only in very small amounts from what if gather. (I hope it's not in the butterscotch cause I love butterscotch.) Honesty I'm not sure why Diacetyl is bad, I would google it, but that w ould only worry me, so I will just try to avoid it from now on. I'm about to email nf and ask for a list of flavors that contain it, along with a list of sediment free flavors. I'll post here if/when they respond.

Also, is that the 3x butterscotch you have now that has no sediment in it, or the regular?

I emailed NF ealier today, so I expect a reply sometime tomorrow or tuesday, I'll post here when they reply for sure.

Also, I'm wondering if my storing all my diy flavors and nic in a box in the fridge caused the sediment to form... I've put the whole box in a cabinet away from heat now, after being advised against fridge storage by an advanced diyer here on ecf, so I'll see if the sediment just dissolves away now... That would be sweet.
