What's it taste like? I'm getting ready to order direct from FW and I just might pick up a bottle.

The one review on their site likened it to Papa Smurf. I haven't had a juice named smurf. My description capabilities aren't all that great. I'm sure there's some blueberry in there and at least a couple of others. Sorry, I can't tell you better. I do know I like it.

I bet that bit of sour really makes that Blueberry Wild pop!
Awe man... It's like you can really taste it in your mouth... Not sour just tasty. Oddly enough my father-in-law can taste any amount of sour I put into juice. I don't taste sour all I just noticed an increase in flavor I only use sour in fruit mixes

I'll give it a try... Thanks for the heads up

I have another one that is incredible in my opinion

6% flavor west sugar cookie
5% flavor West Carmel
2% flavor west graham cracker
1% the flavor apprentice cotton candy circus flavor

This one has to steep for a while to get to taste right if you can still taste the circus cotton candy you have to wait longer if this post looks ......ed it's because I'm using talk to text

What makes this recipe so incredible is that once it is properly steeped you cannot detect what flavor it is. Some people say it taste like brown sugar some people says it taste like molasses

By the way it has to be circuits cotton candy not plain cotton candy or does not come out right

I've only recently been able to vape fruits. Blueberry is the only one I've tried. I was able to duplicate a blueberry cream I'd ordered on a whim, just trying to find a fruit I could like. That's where I use the three I listed. Adding sour to my list for my next order!

Lol right? From what I hear, and I live in Virginia that this company by the name of giraffe is located in Richmond in their claim to fame is biscuits and it is constantly sold out in the vape shops in the area. [emoji16]

Do you use the 30 Mill bottles or the 4 ounce bottles from flavor west? At 30 mill bottle of sour will go a long ways

I want to learn to cook a good egg before I try to make a souffle' but I do want to pick up some different creams to work with fruits. Which ones to order is my dilemma.
That is quite a dilemma man I have tons of fruit that I don't like but Kapellas mango is pretty good

Ecto cooler from flavor West is pretty good

Not a fan of flavor west natural strawberry

Key lime is pretty good but strong you have to use it very low percentages

Like I said I'm using talk to text so this post may seem ......ed

I started with sample sizes from WL, just to see if I could do it. Nailed it. So ordered 10mls from BCV in the Labor day sales.

Might have to start trying "low percentage" on flavors. Make me some Tennessee Bikits.
I don't mean to say this in a arrogant manner and I am by no means a master flavorist like Slots, but to use a single flavor is kind of sophomoric and boring. What I think is really cool is when you can take two or more flavors and blend them together make a flavor that no one has ever tasted before and you can't put your finger on it. It takes real talent. I have been mixing for almost a year and I feel like I'm finally starting to come into my own but I still have a long ways to go

If I want to use smaller bottles, I go with Ecig Express. But I usually go with 4 and 8 oz. from FW. I could avoid a lot of waste by trying the smaller ones from Ecig. Sometimes I'm a dummy.
Dude not at all.. I do the same... You may not like the flavor this month but who knows in the next couple months you might come across a recipe where you need to use that flavor so in the end it all works out. For example I really don't like cinnamon roll so I've had a 4 ounce bottle sitting on my shelf for six months.

Now that I know that it is the core ingredient for one of the most popular flavors in my area I'm gonna blow through it

At 2% you can make 6000 mls. It might take a while to blow through it.
