Yeah I'm not into floral's as much as Kopel but I have a few I like.
I mostly use honeysuckle and jasmine; hibiscus is nice with orange, raspberry, and passion fruit. Have found a few brands that have fruits with a lovely floral exhale.

Ah, flavor is so subjective. All I recommend are starting points if asked and what I get from any individual flavor. Been getting happy with floral recipes lately.
I use Hibiscus, FLV Alpine Strawberry

I like all of those, I also find FLV Alpine strawberry useful and consider it a floral Strawberry.

I refuse to pay $17 for a flavor that can't stand on its own. All I've read and heard about Alpine SB is that it is a good layering flavor that doesn't fade as fast as most sb flavors. I have a few FLV flavors and they are tasty but they do not play well with other brands for me. The wild melons is probably the only one I will keep around. Really enjoying the WF (SC) and Purilum lines I've been exploring.

I can see your point on the cost, but it has a "stays with you" characteristic I find useful when added "YES" as a supporting SB.

Purilum Watermelon is very good the best watermelon I've tested so far, and I use it with FA Red Summer a lot. WF (SC) have winners and losers, not a fan of their toasts, INW keeps fn up all the good flavors "reformulated" INW Yes we cheesecake is great. Just got the FA Milk and I'm excited to incorporate it into one of my milk rec's.

Maybe I'll buy myself bottle for Christmas, but more likely not. With sb mixes I've just been mixing all the recipe ingredient but the sb's in large batches and steeping. Then just pull off 30ml at a time and add the sb one shot.

Yeah, I've tried that but it's really inconvenient and not practical in my world, lol, Delosi SB 3%, RF (SC) SB 1% or TPA SB Ripe 4%, INW SB Shisha 1.5% hold up well with steeping and "LOL" adding 0.20%-0.50% of FLV Alpine SB will definitely keep it on top and out front.

I like the Pur fruits but they need a long steep to shine. They have very little fade and are useful in cream mixes that also need a good steep, the raspberry, pineapple, and tangerine are particulate favorites. The Pur nut & cream blends are very good as singles and make a great base to build on. Have you tried the caramel coffee w/ sweet milk yet? Makes a good building base and the butter mint is good too. I have some new Pur flavors to test I picked up from the NR sale.

I have some INW flavors that will stay in the stable, love the dragon fruit and of course cactus as well as a couple of raspberries.

No, I don't have a lot of the Pur flavors yet, but I will haha! Coffees I use in some bakeries, like tiramisu cakes, or coffee cake, however, I use a lot of Carmel, ry4's and nuts in the majority of tobacco rec's I develop.

I have a sb biscuit I mix and INW shisha 2% + Fa ripe 3% work well in the recipe but fade in a couple of weeks. Wonder if they are like my orange mixes that the orange disappears for a week or two and then comes back and is beautiful. I'll have to do longer steep test. I'm on the fence with RF (SC) SB. FC sb is good but needs a long steep as well, works nicely with yogurts.
