FlavourArt Tasting Notes - various flavors

[voidNIL]

Hey all,

I had originally intended to post detailed tasting notes from a bunch of flavors from FlavourArt but I was talking to someone today about them and ended up accidently doing a mini-review of each flavor. So, I figured I would just post that. I'm going to make another order tomorrow so I'd love to hear feedback on other flavors. What do you guys like, what should I avoid like it was bacon?

I should say that I use no nicotine and a 901 at 5v so that may have some effect on my experience. I usually end up at about 2 or 3 drops per ML of PG.

Bacon - I wanted to die and I might have to move. My home office still smells like bacon grease.

Maple - I tried this along with the bacon so that may have made it impossible for me to judge but it seemed like a very light maple syrup flavor. If you've ever tried agave syrup, I think it tasted like that.

Cinnamon - I love this stuff. It tasted closer to the spice than a cinnamon candy to me. It is sweet though so maybe closer to the frosting on a cinnamon bun when it mixes with the cinnamon.

Roasted Chicken - Christ why do I order stuff like this. It wasn't as bad as the bacon but any of the meat flavors have an off putting quality because you lack the salt.

Wine - I had high hopes for this but I just kept putting more drops in and never could get the flavor to come out. It tasted very slightly of cooking wine.

Chocolate - Tasted like chocolate liquor. Not what I am looking for but seems to be what all chocolate flavors taste like.

Black Tea - I really like this one. The flavor is very mild but if you get beyond 4 drops per ML you just start to get bitter and sweet at the same time. At about 4 drops this tastes like a really mild tea. This is just what I want every once in a while and you get the tea steam effect from the vapor ... nice.

Beer - I'm not sure I could recommend this but at the same time it is right up there with cinnamon as one of my favorites. Initially I was blown away, that is exactly the flavor it should be. Not quite as light as Bud or Coors, etc. but that is the basic idea. After a bit of vaping it feels flat (obviously no carbonation) and you start to get that morning after stale beer taste. I've gotten older and a LOT mellower but that taste actually has some good memories ... and some bad ones. I thought it was fun to experience even if I'll only do it once every month or two.

I think their Tirami su, torrone (nougat) are both amazing.

There's a whole bunch of others i really did not care for.

Don't order cream flavor...it's worse than vaping an old sock.
They explained to me that some of their flavors have to be baked they cannot be vaped.

I forgot but I always try to mention the amounts of diacetyl whenever I talk about flavors that have it.

Fried 0.01% - I believe this applies the the "Bacon Fried Flavor"
Maple 0.012%
Beer 0.001%

void - I loved your quick reviews of those flavors! Especially your review of Bacon... This is a place/brand I hadn't even looked into yet! Seems like the more I read and research, the more research and reading I end up doing!

smoked a pack a day, vaping now for three and I still have the same pack of analogs!

Can't wait for my DIY kit to come in... does this Vape thing also suppress appetite????

Thanks for the review!

BTW - I had the identical experience with bacon. Ah well ... I just had to try it.

Personally, I'm head over heels in love with Flavourart's pear flavor.

 

[VinnieVapor]

Beer: Same as OP. Good smeel, like beer but flat. 3 drops / ml,

Black Pepper : strong ! 1 drop / ml. Goes well with mint. Adds a hit. I will try with fuits to give them a bit of punch (like 1 drop / 3ml)

Brandy : Real brandy taste. A bit less strong than beer but does not requires bubbles.

Rum : Kind of a toffee candy rum. Strong.

Lemon : Good lemon taste. Strong.

I was not brave enough to try bacon or any other meat falvor (chicken, ham, beef, etc...)

Look for HappyVaper: they have 121 FavourArt flavors in 3ml bottles: Tobbaccos, Meats, Fruits, Alcools, Flowers, Vegetables, Sweet treats, Spices and others....

Vinnie thanks for the tip about HappyVapor. They seem to have a huge selection.

I have a bottle of Black Pepper here that I haven't got to yet ... maybe that is what I'll do with my Sunday morning! Glad to hear positive things about the alcohol flavors. I'd love to find a single malt scotch flavor ... I wonder if I could just mix up some Laphroaig and PG.

Oak Wood - I mixed up a batch of this last night and was really surprised by how enjoyable it was. I was expecting to use this to mix with the Wine to create different aging effects but the wine was a no go. I tried it on it's own and I am definitely mixing up a bottle to vape straight once in a while. I'm not sure I know what oak wood tastes like but I was expecting it to be bitter on it's own. It does have a small "twang" but not in an unpleasant way. As always the PG adds some sweetness and the body of the flavor ends up reminding me of chestnut. The smell is the best part ... most of us took at least one shop class, you know the smell.

All right, where is that bottle of Black Pepper...

Ay Up Everyone,

I have tried a few FArts now so here goes;

Some flavours are much, much, much stronger than others so start off with just 1 drop per 5ml bottle when mixing and vape for a while before adjusting. Taste is very subjective though and I'm not the best reviewer.

Turk and US (Camel) - vile at 1 drop per 5ml - try diluting massively with PG, it may taste of something good - at weaker concentrations, tasted a bit like 'French Pipe' nicliq.

USA Mix (Marlboro) - at 1 drop per 5ml - tastes like Treacle Pudding to me - ok though - buy some PG and use 1 drop per 30ml then adjust - saves wasting nicliq.

Beer - Now you're talking - good complex flavour at 3-5 drops per 5ml - I like it!!

Chardonnay, Champagne, Red Wine - Cannot taste anything other than a mild perfume at any concentration, even drinking them!!!

Anise - very good aniseed flavour at 3-5 drops per 5ml.

Apricot - Great apricot flavour at 3 drops per 5ml.

Barley Malt - Very strong malty flavour - 1 drop per 5ml.

Coffee Espresso - Very strong Black Coffee flavour - much less than 1 drop per 5ml needed. Buy some PG to experiment with bigger volumes so as not to waste nicliq.

Black Cherry - like the cherry flavour in a Black Forest Gateau - 3 drops per 5ml.

Cherry - a flavour similar to cherry lips - or boiled sweets - needs about 2 drops per 5ml.

Irish Cream - very similar to Bailey's Irish Cream - strong flavour at 1 drop per 5ml.

Blackcurrant - like a boiled sweet blackcurrant flavour - does not go well with coffee - not a very strong flavour so 3-5 drops per 5ml.

Hi VoidNIL

Great review! I was intrigued by oak wood, now I want to try it

Hello Rusty

Thank you also ! I will add Expresso to my shopping list

One of you said beer needs bubbles? I wonder if a drop of pre mixed menthol might give it a kick..I am about to mix some up..hmm. Any suggestions?

I am also about to try the wine...lol. Not sure what would mix with that. Wish me luck ;-)

UPDATE: Ok ..I spiked the 10ml of beer w/only 2 drops of menthol..I gave it a little kick. Whew it does taste like beer...yuck. Lol..its not for me but for my mom ..she is going to love it.
Wine...My mom likes her wine sweet...so ( this is funny) I thought hmm... Would you like some cheese with your wine ...All I had was Cheese Cake..put about 3 drops(didnt want to ruin the flavor) in the bottle and sweetened the flavor from red cooking wine...to something you would acually drink. BTW the wine is a little weak on flavor so I had to use alot.

Ok now to get this taste out of my atomizers..ugh I feel like im gettin a buzz and I dont even drink.

I think the effect of menthol would be good, but the flavor would kill it. I'm excited to hear how it goes though, let us know. Maybe if you get just the tiniest hint of menthol. As far as the wine ... go buy a bottle! I just couldn't get any flavor out of the wine.

Black Pepper - I had to try this after Vinnie mentioned it. I had been a little wary. The first puff made me think I shouldn't inhale because the flavor is very close to the real thing. There is no burning or irritation though. I had to convince myself of that because my brain kept telling me I shouldn't be breathing black pepper. Not something to vape on it's own but this will get a lot of use when I want to add some character to other flavors.

Fig - The name on the bottle is actually Fig Fresh and that is an important distinction. This does not taste like dried figs or the fig paste in a Fig Newton. However, this flavor is going to make you happy if you like fresh figs. I buy them from my local stinky cheese shop because I love the flavor but I'm not a big fan of the texture. This is the best of both worlds. I'd have to say this is my favorite fruit flavor so far.

I'm really loving playing around with these. When the flavor is bad you are immediately punished but when you get something like the fig it is worth it ... ok maybe not worth the bacon, but everything else.

There is no diacetyl in either of these. As for ratios, I'd start with 1 drop per ML on the pepper and not go above 2 if you don't want to kill whatever you are mixing with. The fig is stronger than I expected for a fruit flavor. I usually end up at 3 drops per ML, but I'm happy to stick with 2 drops of fig.

Clove - I had prepared myself for disappointment and that is just what I got. There is no initial bite and no numbing after effect. I really don't know about the flavor because without those effects I just can't judge. To me clove is like menthol in that it isn't the flavor I am concerned about as much as the fireworks. I got this mainly for my sister-in-law because after I gave her a kit she started mixing up PG and clove oil. I was hoping to find something that would convince her to stop using the oil but this isn't going to do it.

 

[LuxDelux]

Anyone tried the cuban supreme? Supposed to be very "steamy".

That one piques my interest the most, wonder if it can really increase vapor. If so it could provide a nice addition to mixing with other stuff.

Aaaargh where's my batch

 

[voidNIL]

Meringue - This tastes more like the crispy meringue cookies than the meringue you'd find on a pie. I think it would need a little more tanginess to be that meringue, but this has the sweeter more condensed flavor of the cookies. Even so I bet if this was mixed with a lemon flavor you would have a good lemon meringue pie juice. I would recommend 1 or 2 drop per ML. It was a bit too strong at 3 drops and while I really enjoyed it for the first hour, it got a bit cloying after that. Also, no diacetyl in this one.

 

[voidNIL]

Mango - I tasted mango on the first puff at 2 drops per ML but it was very light. The mango is there but it isn't as full as a real mango and there seems to be a pear flavor at the center of it ... not that I know how a flavor manages to have a center. I vaped this all night and in the end I think I will mix up a batch but I'm going to label the bottle as Fruit Cocktail. It really reminds me of the fruit cocktail in syrup that you get on the canned fruit isle. No diacetyl.

Grapefruit - This one is Wine part 2. I went all the way to 10 drops per ML and could just barely taste it. I'm not sure what the flavor was but I wouldn't say grapefruit. I'm really disappointed ... this was a flavor I would have liked to vape in the morning. This one has as much diacetyl as it does flavor ... none.

Hiya ...

Anyone got a good suggestion as to which FlavourArt flavour would be the best to use to add some sweetness to other flavours (that I think need a bit of sweetening) ???

I have a very "sweet tooth", and even changed over to VG because of this. But am finding that not even the VG is achieving the amount of sweetness I would like from some flavours. ... I have been thinking maybe the "cotton candy" or maybe the "marshmallow" might be good for this purpose ???

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

(Maybe I should also wait a few more weeks to get my tastebuds back. As at the moment I'm not even getting much flavour from any of them flavours )

 

[CloudBurst]

I thought the PG was sweeter...hummm, was I wrong? I've been vaping for 8 months and still have a sweet tooth, I'd like mine a little sweeter also.

Nicotine itself reacts with the insulin in your body and the neurotransmiters in your brain to suppress your appetite.. This is the chemical means that it uses to control your urges for your next fix...

 

[CloudBurst]

If that's the case I need to raise my nic levels! LOL

 

[Safira]

Dang-it thanks a lot, I just placed my 1st order for some flavorart flavors (happyvapor) haven't even received the box and I already feel I need to place another order.

I thought I started vaping to save money, I'm probably spending more, but I know I'm having way more fun.
