Flavour Art Seven Leaves and Burley---any thoughts please

[TraderX]

My brother decided to quit making his own ejuice and gave me all of his supplies and concentrates.

I have two large brand new unopened large bottles of Flavour Art Seven Leaves (not the ultimate version), and a bottle of Burley. I can't ask my brother, because he never tried either one.

Sadly, there is hardly any good information about these products, I take it that they are not very popular. Does anyone have any experience with either one of these products? I would very much appreciate any comments or thoughts.

I’ve got a bottle of the burley. It makes a poor single flavor. Kind of a earthy burnt leaves taste. It does seem to “naturalize” other flavors though. When I add a bit to grape flavor for example it makes it taste more like grapes.

I like both of these flavors myself but I will tell you that some of the more adamant tobacco purists are not that keen on FA's offerings in this category. For me it's enough that I enjoy the flavor, it doesn't have to be a perfect representation ... if I wanted that, I'd probably still be smoking, lol.

As you might expect from the name, 7 Leaves is a blend of different tobaccos yet none of them tends to stand out particularly. To my tastes it's a mild light tasting tobacco with an added spice note ( anise if I'm not mistaken ) and IMHO, not a bad choice for getting your feet wet with tobaccos in general. As was mentioned already, Burley is similar in that regard, it is a mild 'brown' tobacco that works well as a blender.

I'd suggest starting both off @ 0.5% and adjust to your specific tastes from there ... I've never gone over 2% personally on either standalone.

I have no experience with your flavors but I have a few purchased flavors that I find are boarder line acceptable (assuming the 7 Leaves and Burley fall into this category) tobac vapes. I have a recipe in mind (sweet,creamy,fruit etc.. tobacco vapes) where I use up "neutral" tobacco flavors. I try to use them as enhancers and not mains in the mix.

The 7 leaves (I do have the "ultimate") is good with some fruits. Think cherry tobacco, things like that. A bit of vanilla can also be a nice mix.

Is there a difference between "7Leaves" and "7Leaves Ultimate?" I tried my google-fu; and could not find any real definitive answers.

The only thing I found on FA's own website was that "7Leaves Ultimate" is the concentrate, and "7Leaves" is the ready-to-vape e-liquid with nicotine.

Vendors/resellers seem to mostly(?) use "Ultimate" in their name/description (Bull City, ECX, Nic. Giant). But, there is a minority, that ignore its use (Nic. River). On the other hand; individual posters, reviewers, and commentators, all seem to be much more evenly split in its use (or not).

Without further clarification (if/what difference there may be), I personally, would operate under the idea that they are referring to the same thing.

Operating on that premise; I would accept wh1skyk1ng's review on reddit, and HIC's flavor notes (I am respecting authors request; and will not re-post. But one can easily find it with a simple google search), as good(?) "baseline" reviews.

I was unsuccessful finding any solid/definitive reviews for FA Burley (other than HIC's).

Doing specific word searches ( like: FA Burley, and FA 7leaves/FA 7 leaves/FA seven leaves) in the tobacco thread @BrotherBob already listed, can quickly focus you in on quite a few different opinions on the concentrates in question.

I've mixed FA 7 Leaves Ultimate routinely over the years. As some said, it's not a strong tobacco flavor. It's more of a novelty flavor that's fresh and tasty at 7% in a standalone mix or in combination with a stronger tobacco mix when you add your favorite tobacco flavor. I use it standalone here and there and as an add mix to a tank to calm down and sweeten tobaccos that are a little too strong and earthy.

Thanks so very much my friends! Thanks for taking the time to respond. I love strong tobaccos personally, so I am relieved that these two are fairly mild tobaccos. I can always add some DNB or tobacco absolute if they do not satisfy. Good enough to work with, that's good enough for me!
Thank you again!

And what have you decided to start with?

I am going to try out the Seven Leaves first. With Hangsen and Inawera tobaccos the recommended percentages are very consistent. I noticed with the Seven Leaves the flavor percentage recommendations vary wildly.
