Molinberry flavors.... I have heard that their Glamor Chocolate is to die for.
Hmmmmmm. Now I am confused. I have only ever had one eight ounce bottle and it has always seemed weak to me. I have always heard if you use too much the flavor starts muting. I think I might should start all over with this one at a really low percentage and relearn. May I ask? If you were making a single flavor with it, what percentage would you use?
I've never used it as a single flavor, but I use .5% in recipes and that's plenty. You'll just have to make really small batches to see what works as a single flavor.
Wow .5. I never make less than 10 ml. of anything. Just not going to get into doing drops.
Two hours in the UC at 140F and this is terrible. I think .5 on the Vanilla Custard would have been a better move. I don't think time is going to do this any good.
The 1.5 + 1.5 in FA flavors is strong and to add 12% FW to that just didn't work.

FW's owner, Jason, said that all their flavors are designed to work at the same concentration.
Over the last 2.5 years of mixing FW & MBV almost exclusively I found I like this:
12.5 in 70PG
16% in 50/50
18% in 60VG
20% in 65VG and 70VG
single flavor or flavors added together to equal my ratios
I almost always mix single flavor (besides PB/TDC)
I like it strong and this is as "saturated" with flavor as I can get with FW & MBV
I recall reading this before and it has always been a rule of thumb for me. And it has pretty much worked for me. I guess I should stop doubting myself.
I do 60PG mostly and I do it at 14%.
Ok here is one for you. I live in VA and there is a company called interstate 95 vapors. There is this dude that commissioned me to clone a juice called Biscuits it cause he vapes 90ml each week of this flavor and I guess it's very popular cause it's always sold out. He said its a complex flavor and he'd be surprised if I could get it right
He gave me a bottle with just a few mls in it, so I took it home and and dripped it. I new immediately that it was FW cinnamon roll at a very low% I mixed him up a batch and gave it to him the next day. Needless to say he flipped out that I had figured it out in less than 24hrs, and was amazed that I got it spot on. I definitely got more credit than I deserve
Edit: sorry it was a company called Giraffe

That's odd because there is no way I'm using some of FWs flavors above 2%

Yeah, especially banana! Wow! At just .5% it overpowers a recipe. Imagine 16% straight!
To be honest, the majority do work great at 15% for me with a 50/50 blend. But, there are a few exceptions...

I've never used a flavor (except blueberry) above 15% and that was as a stand alone. Going up 8% because of VG/PG seems extreme. I use the same percentage regardless of V/P ratio. I find cloud blowers like a lot more flavoring (because they are lung hitting) and some of those folks don't care for my juice as much but hey, you can't please every one and at the end of the day, I make what I like.
I have one friend who loves the banana. She likes 70PG and I mix that for her at 12.5% and she says it tastes like banana popsicle. Go figure.
With my one bottle of FW Blueberry being very weak at 20% and Elizabeth's Banana overpowering recipes at anything above .5% leads me to conclude that on occasion FW puts out a batch that is way off from their norm. I assure you that if I put 1% of my Banana in any recipe, I would not be able to tell it was in there.
Try combining several different blueberries.

Even though I know that this is a flavor west thread I had to say that the flavor apprentice blueberry wild is the best blueberry flavor I've used
