Need Help! :)

[peecheegrl]

Ok, I guess i'm first with my review I want to say thank you Onestopdiyshop & Kimerpuff for allowing me to test. I'm a newbie at DIY, so if i forget something, please let me know. The first flavor was White Chocolate, smelled wonderful! I used 12% flavor, this flavor was light, but very good alone or I think it would taste good mixed with other flavors. Next was Blueberry Cheesecake, I used about 15% flavor here, but i love blueberry flavors lol, this had a very good flavor, no perfumey taste at all and a wonderful subtle cheesecake flavor. Next was Cake Batter,,I wasn't sure how i would like this one, but WoW!! This had a yummy cookie flavor, I think this would really rock with Cinnamon...hmmm might have to try that next Ok, the next flavor was Strawberry Shortcake, this was at 12% flavor,,,very yummy,,the strawberry tasted very good, but not overpowering. Last flavor was Macadamia Nut at 12% flavor, this one had a nice nutty flavor, I really enjoyed this one as well!! Can't wait to order bigger bottles, especially Cake Batter & Macadamia nut!. So, to sum up my review,,,,All the flavors were very good and i would definitely order all of these flavors again! I can't wait to try all the other flavors that you get! I hope most of my review helped, if you have any questions just let me know I tested them all on my Ego-T passthrough without nicotine and then also sampled them with the nicotine added...........Thank you again Kimerpuff...Shipping was very fast and i love my Kit also!

nice review, peecheegrl! I really like the cake batter and macadamia nut, too. I made up little batches of each of them alone at about 15% flavor and they're yummy! But even better is mixing the 2 together...that combo was scrumptious.

My white chocolate needs to steep a little, i think -- but it smells good in the bottle. The blueberry cheesecake came out very well -- even at only about 12% flavor. But after the macadamia/cake batter combo my favorite was the strawberry shortcake. It almost had a little fizz taste to it on the inhale like carbonation or something -- then just great strawberry taste. it's terrific.

I made all of these first without nicotine with 75pg/25vg mix, then tried them again after adding enough nic to get them to around 18mg per ml. Tested by dripping in a regular 510 atty on an ego battery, and also filled an 808 carto to try. All worked well --best in the carto imho.

I'm new to DIY too so I'm sure my verbage isn't like more experienced reviewers, but as an average vaper I can definitely say I'd buy this brand of flavors from you Kimerpuff! I really like that there's almost no perfumey smell or taste like some other brands of flavorings. The white chocolate does have an odd smell now that it's mixed up that it didn't have in it's original bottle, but that could certainly be my other components rather than the flavoring. I'm going to let that one steep a little -- but the others were good after just a good shake

Thanks so much for this opportunity! i've had a fun day in my mad scientist lab thanks to you OSDIY!

Great reviews so far everyone! I'm pretty new to DIY too, but will give this my best shot...so far I've only had the chance to try three of the flavors, but will test the other two this afternoon and add those then. First I would like to say that the flavors smell awesome and all are clear, except the cake batter, which is a golden brown, but definitely not dark and of course is much lighter when mixed. No perfume taste or smell, just clean great flavor.

White chocolate - good taste, but a little weak. Adding more flavor and seeping some should help take care of that though and it is a smooth white choc. taste, which is good.

Cake batter - great flavor, very yummy tasting and I mixed this with the white chocolate, to get a great flavor combo. Almost like a cookie!

Blueberry cheesecake - My favorite so far, which is a little surprising, as this is one of the first fruit flavors I have actually liked. Great creamy, blueberry flavor...something I could easily vape all day!

I mixed all mine with some thinned 100% VG, no nic, and used between 15 - 20% flavor. Reason for using more flavor is because of the all VG base. As most know, VG tends to require more flavoring to get a good flavor. These three have turned out very good and would definitely recommend these to others! If I haven’t covered things very well, please feel free to ask questions and I'll be back later to add my review of the other two flavors. Thanks so much for the chance to sample test these, I do appreciate that!

Were there any testers that have been mixing awhile that could give us a comparison between these and other flavors? As far as strength?

I will be doing my full review soon. Want to let the mixes sit for a day and vape them again. I can say right now that TPA White Chocolate runs circles around the white choco "effort" from Natures Flavors.

Thanks. I was wondering if the organic natural flavors might be weaker.

I have two that needed more flavoring added and another steep. I thought all 5 were unvapeable newly mixed (although I tried). I'm testing again this evening.

Kimber...if you need another tester, I'm willing and able!!!!

All flavors mixed: 18 mg, 5 ml bottle mixed, 12% flavoring 70pg/30vg
1.8 Mil nic juice 50/50
2.0 Mil Pg
0.6 Mil Vg
0.6 Mil Flavoring

Blueberry Cheesecake: 30 Min steep
Flavor: Light sweet blueberry
Vapor: light to med
Th: nice mild

Strawberry Shortbread 30+ Min steep
Flavor: inhale clean fresh strawberries
exhale sweetness of bread
Vapor: ok amount
Th: very little

Macadamia Nut 30+ Min Steep
Flavor: nice light nutty flavor
Vapor: ok/light
TH: very little

Cake Batter 30+ Min Steep
Flavor: Just a sweet flavor
Vapor: ok
Th: ok

White Chocolate 30+ Min Steep
Flavor: yuk needs to steep
Vapor: little
Th: little

All of these flavors were vaped on a Reo Woodvil, Cisco LR 306 1.5Ω atty. Cleaned with clear Pg between flavors. I will let them steep and check again tomorrow evening. Tomorrow I will add a drop or two to the white chocolate. However the white chocolate and macadamia nut mixed together was not bad, not sure I would vape either of those by themselves.

I've used similar flavor, Flavor West Cupcake and Perfumers Apprentice Blueberry and Strawberry. I mix those with the same % listed above. Seems to me, these organic natural flavors are a bit week as I will probably add a drop or two more to the mixes tomorrow, unless they improve overnight.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to try these flavors. Once I get the % down I feel they should be all right. Still hanging out on the white chocolate, I haven't found one that I like yet, diy or company made.

First off I would like to thank Kimmer, Ren, and OSDIY for the opportunity to test these flavorings. I had never tried Natures Flavors before, so I was very curious to see how they stacked up against the competition. I have been DIYing for about 7 months and have used flavorings from TPA, FA, Flavor West, Capellas, and LorAnn.

All flavors were drip tested on three PV's. EGo w/ a 1.5ohm 510 LR atty, SparkPlug (3.7v) w/ a 1.7ohm 901 LR atty, and 6v with a 3ohm atty. All flavors mixed at 15% with a 12mg 50/50 base. Mixes steeped for 2-3 days. Attys cleared with PG between flavors. TH and vapor with all flavors was good.

Here we go.

Blueberry Cheesecake - Definite blueberry scent after mixing. Can't detect any cheesecake. Steeped for 3 days. The BB flavor hits you right off the bat. It is more of a BB candy flavor. Still not tasting cheesecake. Maybe a slight hint in the background. Not that impressed. I don't see myself ordering this flavoring. I would most likely go the route of making this flavor by using TPA Blueberry Extra and TPA Cheesecake. Rating - 2/5

Strawberry Shortcake - Initial impression after mixing is a strawberry that falls closer to a candy flavor than a real strawberry flavor. Not getting a shortcake scent. After steeping 3 days, the flavor tastes like it smelled after mixing. The strawberry flavor stands out, but I don't taste much on the shortcake side. Could use more shortcake for sure. Added a few drops of Natures Flavors Cake Batter. That did the trick. Nice flavor with both the strawberry and cake flavors coming through. Might purchase this, but would probably use TPA Strawberry or FA Strawberry and add Nature's Flavors cake batter to achieve a better result. Rating 2.5/5

White Chocolate - The first thing I noticed was a kind of rummy alcohol smell with no distinct white choco scent. Thought maybe that would change once it steeped for a few days. It did not. Still no white choco flavor. Just a rummy/slight cream flavor. This flavor is not a bad flavor, it just does not taste like white chocolate. This flavor kind of reminded me of Flavor West's Maple Rum Tobacco flavor. TPA White Chocolate is a much better representation of a WC flavor. Not a stand alone vape IMO. Probably would not purchase this flavor. Rating - 1/5

Cake Batter - Smells really good immediately after mixing. I decided to vape this one without any initial steeping. Very nice flavor. I let it steep for 2 days and the flavor got even better. It really does remind me of a buttery batter taste with a very slight hint of gingerbread. It would make a great base for additional flavors, but I could vape this as a stand alone flavor. There is not really any flavoring maker that offers a cake batter flavor except for one vendor that I will respectfully not mention here, that sells a "batter cake" flavor. The Natures Flavors Cake Batter flavor is just as good. I would purchase this flavor for my DIY arsenal. Rating - 4/5

Macadamia Nut - Steeped 2 days. Was not expecting a whole lot from this flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. Nice light nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness. Nice aftertaste with a spice (nutmeg?) hint. Could be vaped as a stand alone, but I feel this flavor would benefit by adding other flavors to it. I have used Macadamia Nut flavoring from Flavor West, and this one from Nature's Flavors comes reasonably close. This is a flavor that I would purchase. Rating - 3/5

All in all I feel the Strawberry Shortcake and Blueberry Cheesecake fall short of my taste expectations, while the White Chocolate misses the mark altogether. I understand that these flavors are organic/natural, but the fruit flavors seem to taste a little artificial, sort of like some of the LorAnn flavors. I know taste is subjective. YMMV. I would recommend Nature's Flavors to people who are looking for natural flavorings. For those who are not concerned with using only natural flavors, TPA flavorings are a better way to go.

Hope my review has helped answer some of the questions ECF DIYers might have about Nature's Flavors concentrates.

Thanks again to OSDIY for allowing me to test these flavors. It really says alot when a supplier takes the time and effort to make sure they bring in flavors that their customers would like. Kudos.

I mixed flavors in a 70PG/30VG zero nicotine base. My PV is a standard eGo and each flavor was measured with its own syringe and tested with a clean atomizer and drip tip.

At 10% I think the flavors are very strong and although I tried, could not vape them right after mixing. After steeping for four days, all five flavors still have a powdery astringent aftertaste. And I'm surprised by the artificial taste to the flavors which is not what I expect from the word "natural."

Blueberry Cheesecake tastes like Boo Berry cereal.

Strawberry Shortcake tastes like Strawberry Quik.

Macadamia Nut has a light nutty taste but a sour aftertaste.

Cake Batter is slightly sweet but has a bitter unsweetened cocoa-like aftertaste.

A white chocolate fan, I was really looking forward to sampling White Chocolate. But I taste no expected sweetness, only a woody, burnt artificial vanilla taste with a long-lasting, dry, bitter aftertaste. Really long-lasting.

The unpleasant aftertaste common to all five flavors is something I've not experienced with other flavors I've tried - DIY or pre-mixed - but to be fair I've never tried VG based flavors before. Perhaps Vape Wizard or an even longer steep would improve them.

I've enjoyed the flavor testing and thank you, Kimberly, for letting me participate. I have to honestly say, though, that I would not buy Nature's Flavors.
