Flavor West DIY flavor review

[Mowgli]

Got butter cream sweet cream tres leche an whipped cream. Are these flavors creamy? I thought I read somewhere that FW creams are pretty strong. Any input would help. Thanx

I have sweet cream, tres leche and whipped cream. 12.5% in 70/30 or 18% in 40/60

I'd suggest the same %s for butter cream since FW's owner says they're all designed to work at the same %.

Higher % and higher VG will need longer steep time.

I like the sweet cream and whipped cream. The tres leche not as much.

That's all I got. Back to Need For Speed on the 50" and vaping Dutch Apple Pie

The only things I mix together are Caramel Candy and Cinnamon Roll to approximate MBV Sticky Bun.
I like most of FW's flavors as they are especially their fruits and berries.

You are right..its 8 oz ;-)

All my DIY mixes are 50:50 PG/VG. You can go any nic level to your liking.

I wish there was a way to stixky it but with all flavor west flavorings start at 15%. Sarah and Jason have told me that is where they are designed to be mixed...NOW that being said if that is to strong or to weak for your personal preference adjust from there but almost all the flavors I mix from them are 15% except I like swedish fish at 13% because I like it better that way.
Hope that helps..

Ok here goes not everyone will want the flavorings at the same level I am a taster so I will try them out at maybe half of the average listed here - maybe less. I find it kinda funny that some people think there is a hidden formula to this it is all up to an individuals taste - right?

 

[Mone415]

Question. What are most people building or what decices are most people using with these percentages? I find flavor varies dramatically from tank to rda. Imo

 

[Mowgli]

KFL+, R91 or cartotanks w/LR Boge double punched

KFLs @ ~10w, cartos @ ~7w-8w

 

[randomhousegir]

Tesla and I taste vtr, kangertech aerotank are my last two mods and current tank

I would like to comment on the FW tobacco flavors I've tried. I don't vape fruits or bakery, just tobaccos:

FW "TOBACCO"---it is a good vape if you don't exceed 1-2 drops per ml. Better if you leave mix with cap off for 24 hours. Very vapeable then but excels after 2 weeks.

FW VIRGINIA FIRE CURED: about the same procedure, only that at first it smells REAL BAD. So bad that you may be tempted to discard it, but please have patience...it will surprise you!

ORIENTAL TOBACCO: Total MEH, don't waste your $ or time on it.

TWISTED UP CIGAR: Very nice tobacco with a touch of apples and berries, if you enjoy that.

TIDEWATER TOBACCO: Another interesting tobacco flavor with a touch of spices, maybe cloves and others. Good.

STAG LEAF TOBACCO: SPICY, this one has a touch of ginger. Good too!

ANKARA TOBACCO: I swear that I can't identify what is in it besides tobacco but its nice!

HONEY WOOD TOBACCO: Excellent, its name is right on the spot.

BLU BACCO: Strong on the tobacco, mild on blueberry, still a very good one!

I think i have purchased something from every flavor manufacturer: USA, CHINA, POLAND...all them, ALL, have good ones and totally horrible ones. I am glad I have tried FW (thanks to a wonderful special that Bull City vapors is running...), i've found some I really like!

You can order smaller bottles of FW flavoring from DIY Juice.com and the shipping should be less also. I agree that FW needs to review their shipping charges.

ok is there some special thing I need to do to use the *wishlist* option at DIY Juice.com? If not it is the most annoying website ever lol. As far as the FW website and the cost of the shipping, the most cost effective way to order is to always order (9) 4oz bottles at a time LOL and remember to use the code *cyber*, it almost pays for the shipping

 

[randomhousegir]

I keep forgetting to use that code...I've wasted so much money on shipping ;-)

That's what I did over the weekend. Nine 4oz bottles and cyber paid for an FW t-shirt



I always keep the main page open so it doesn't have to reload.
for windoze w/internet destroyer 9: right click and choose open in a new tab. rinse/repeat

I have a question for anyone who has purchased FW Peanut Butter. The first bottle of flavoring I purchased was from MBV. It was a very light amber color and very tasty. It became my ADV. When I used all of it I reordered two more bottles from MBV. Both bottles were noticeably darker and, although vapable, not near as good as the original bottle.

I placed an order with Bull City Vapor and purchased a 15ml bottle of FW Peanut Butter. It is crystal clear. Just like water. I mixed a 15ml batch the same as I did with the MBV flavor and it turned out weak with very little Peanut taste.

What color is Peanut Butter that is ordered directly from Flavor West?

 

[randomhousegir]

Unsure, but I am about to place an order..I'll get some and post a pic if no one else replies before then

You won't regret it.

Mine's about 1 year old. The bottle (sitting on the blues tape) is stained and it's bright in my dining room lab without using flash.
It looks a slight bit lighter in the picture than IRL. Good stuff

That's Hazelnut aerating in the background. 4 hours in the UC and 12 hours aerating. Vaping it now and yum.

UT - I mix all my FW flavors at 12.5% in 70/30 and 18% in 40/60 FWIW

I tried Mr. GIR's suggestion of 15% in 50/50 and liked it better when I kicked it to 16% 50/50
