Flavor West DIY flavor review

[jonnychadootz]

The strongest flavor I could taste in Unicorn Vomit was the watermelon - which I do no like - so UV was a no go for me. But if you are a watermelon fan I would think you would like UV.

Initially watermelon was a prominent flavor in UV. Now, not as much but it's def there. Could be the mix, could be the coil (always the same device) The best way I describe it is an amalgamation of fruit flavors. Def some lemon in there as well. I think 1 of the reasons I like it so much is how it changes with time, coil and mix.

It's funny how vape taste differs from food taste - at least for me. I do not like watermelon as a food (frightened by a watermelon as a child?) or a vape and seem to be able to taste it at any level in a mix. I love to eat pineapple and mango but so far do not like them to vape - and I have tried multiple brands of each. And even if there is just a small amount in a mix those flavors come to the foreground for me and it's a no thanks mix.

I have that problem. I've found one fruit I can vape & it has to be creamy. I vape custards. I just got a pipe tobcco sample I kind like. So maybe a new door.

My main vapes are cap vanilla custard v1 and desert ship tobacco. Cap cinnamon danish swirl and my blueberry custard are nice though.

Isn't this true at times!!! I don't like any melons food wise, but love to vape melon flavors...love chocolate and coffee...dislike these types of vapes usually...weird

Mixing up more "solos" today...yeah blueberry graham waffle and cake batter dip cause they are sooooo good...trying different slightly higher %'s...revisiting vanilla custard....New one...root beer float...for my mom, seeing if I can get better mix than what she's bought before and fw rbf has good reviews...these are at 15%, 40pg/60 vg....thinking about trying fw vanilla' s next time I order flavors, a good vanilla is hard to find, I usually blend a few but finding one good solo would make for easier mixing...vanilla butternut, Madagascar vanilla, vanilla bean ice cream maybe...??? Fw before try inaweras to save $$$?

If there is anyone here who is thinking of getting into DIY juicemaking but for whatever reason has not made the plunge. You might want to check out this blog. This is a simplified method of making juice. You can make good juice without a lot of complications with it. If after getting started you want to further develop it into your own style, have at it. https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/mattiem.75673/

I suggest scrolling down to where it says "Getting my Breaking bad on" and starting there.

Mixing up more "solos" today...yeah

Hey Mom, how ya do'in.
I will not confess as to how many bottles of flavoring I have collected and tried over the last 3 years of DIYing .... thought I was about done testing .. until

So now I've in the middle of trying out the Molins, the German, and I just bought some Vista Vapors.
VV's flavorings have terrific reviews, so thought I could "better" some flavors I already have, and find some to fill in the blanks for one's I haven't found a good flavor in yet.
I guess it never ends
Good to see you posting again

 

[baseballmom]

Hi Slots!!!! Yeah I'm here too LOL...been busy, parents and in laws ..health issues...seems around 60+ stuff starting to fail/act up...come next year I'll be up at the farm a LOT once dad gets knee replaced.

I got my raspberries situated enough, pretty happy with strawberries, blueberries but I hear fw has a good blueberry and BlackBerry but haven't tried yet, for the price, why not?!(bcv seems to not carry fw BlackBerry weird)...finding a simple plain Jane vanilla ...I want to try fw vbic since I am one who get the peppery note from tfa' s..some on reddit have mentioned it too...it goes away after cure period/aging but...I like tfa vanilla bourbon...but still have many to try still....you can confess the # you have flavors...then I might not feel like my locked box overfloweth...I like trying the brands out though, finding the differences/what I prefer...fun! Some fw flavors have been a pleasant surprise, quite tasty!

Sorry for rambling here, still drinking coffee and catching up....

Ditto busy here too ... Hubby has stents now and is back to his trouble making self.
"LOCKED BOX" ????? just ONE ???? we need to talk !!!!
Yes, there are several FW flavors that are fantastic solo.
Those are about the only ones I use.
I find that having to start with 15% flavoring doesn't leave much room to add any other flavoring.
I stay below 20% overall, so I'm pretty much limited to using just the FW flavoring I like solo.
There are some super strong berry flavorings by other company's, (that only need 1%), and I like to use the FW Biscotti with them.
I also like the Biscotti solo, so that's one FW flavor I always keep on hand.
Also, I don't know if it's still in their inventory, but I LOVE their Kahlua flavoring, and can't find that flavor anywhere else. Glad I have a good supply in the freezer.
Then there's their Cream de Mint, Grape, Butterscotch, Pralines & Cream, Salted Caramel, and Vanilla Butternut ... all solo ...yummy
So they have some really good solo flavors, and I don't have to worry about making a recipe.
It just takes time and $$$ to sort through finding the "good stuff" .. that's the same with any company.
I still have a few FW flavors to try, but in the last 3 years, I've thrown out 28 of the FW flavorings on the path to finding the "gems".
The "no's" (in any company) have a higher % than the "keepers" .. for my taste buds anyway.
But like you say .. it's fun .. and still cheaper than buying premade juices.
Once you get it narrowed down too the basic's, it gets a lot cheaper.
I'm still working on it

 

[baseballmom]

No, no, one locked box is plenty, it's already overflowed as is...Lol! I like the simplicity of some fw stuff, I go Both ways- mixing multi flavor mixes and simples...some 3-4 and under mixes surprisingly work out best for me...I have overcrowded a recipe in past, and I like to keep under 20% too...and sometimes I'm honestly lazy, so a 1 flavor is easy and convenient depending on my mood and time. I really want to find a vanilla ice cream without peppery taste, and vanilla without plastic like tones to it(yes I'm vanilla picky sort of)....hence thinking trying fw vbic and vanilla butternut, heard inaw shisha vanilla is good too but pricier, then again use lower %...(all inaw Shisha now always reminds me of andria and her strawberry love, LOL)....butterscotch, hazelnut, blueberry, BlackBerry, and some others on fw wish list along with others....over year in and still trying, not sure does it ever end? ...fw cinnamon, churro, cake batter dip, blueberry graham waffle, double Apple some of my fa faves so far(likes and dislikes from most of the main brands actually)

I just bought a sample of the Vanilla butternut and it smells amazing. haven't had a chance to mix with it yet. Definitely based on appearance it will be a coil gunker. I also have the shisha vanilla, I was unimpressed with this flavor.

 

[baseballmom]

Thanks sketch!!!! Let me know how it tastes....I need a good vanilla, prefer something that can hold it's own well enough solo...no need of supporting creams/other flavors and fussing... sooo whats wrong with the Shisha one in your opinion ?, someone said it's like vanilla pudding in another forum... I guess I'm looking for best vanilla out of fw, cap...I do like tfa vanilla swirl, but want more "oomph" /bolder vanilla without weird notes. If vanilla butternut can do solo or minimal supports....let me know, I know you mix with other brands like slots too...value your input as always...thanks! I somehow made slots my mentor for mixing on ecf a bit ago

@sketchness...trying this out, does it notify?

 

[sketchness]

@baseballmom no i just got a like notification though I have seen it work previously.

To me it is just a so so flavor. Kind of bland, at 6% it was almost non existent in the mix. To me it just lacked the strength I would expect from an INW flavor especially when I am paying 40 cents a mil. Kind of has the burnt natural extract undertones of a naturally extracted vanilla. I am going to revisit it solo alongside vanilla butternut. So far one of my favorite vanillas is hangsen vanilla, love that stuff.

Bolder vanilla? Cap v1 and vanillin.
