PA flavorings mini-review

[geeker]

I received Red Bull, Waffle, Mountain Dew and a sample of brown sugar.
The Mountain Dew is pretty good, but I do not care for the Waffle and brown sugar, which is really too bad for me because I had such high hopes that I would love them. Tired of mixing today, so I will address the Red Bull later.

However, I find the flavors to be weak. I have them in my mix at 50% and they are still not strong enough to suit me.

I have written a note to suggest more concentrated flavorings, and mentioned how concentrates would be better in terms of avoiding weakening the vapor and nic content.

I received prompt delivery of my items and prices/shipping cost are very good.

I agree that service and selection are both excellent. I also agree that the flavors are weak. I mixed at 15% and had to keep adding more, shake, wait, test, add more, shake, wait, test.................. However, I am new to DIY so maybe it is me.

The only flavor I have tried that you have is Mountain Dew Type and I found it tasted good at about 18%. I didn't let it age so I was going to try it a little lower actually. As far as the other flavors I have tried I generally start at 10% and work my way up to usually no more than 18-20%

Just a tip from another noob, who figured something out about flavor. I would suggest letting it "age", meaning let it sit for at least 6-8 hours before trying it out and add from there. I can't take credit for the aging, read that here from one of the many helpful DIYers.

I joke about my original creation, bus tailpipe. It was my first DIY and man did I mess that one up, lol.

I don't have the flavors mentioned but I can tell you there peach is to die for. Exactly like a fresh juicy peach, i use aprox. 15%. The caramel is pretty tasy also just fyi

Here's a little update:
The Mountain Dew flavoring is VERY good.
I used 60% unflavored nic (I used 36 mg so I got 21.6 mg juice), 40% Mountain Dew flavoring and 1 drop Splendex per 5 ml.
YUM! Better than V4L or Rath IMO.

My sister loves the Mt. Dew too. For me it's a little weak, but I only tried 1 mix with it @ 10%. Maybe I should up it and add some sweetener too.

I was all too excited to try this flavor, because it's my fav soda.

I just orderd five more attys to fuel my DIY habit. I have the Mt. Dew, just haven't had an atty to use it with.

TPA's Caramel:

I emailed Linda today about her Carmel. The Caramel flavor I have from her has a bunch of solid carmel colored deposits that have settled to the bottom of the container. She told me she will soon have a new formulation for her Caramel which will not have any caramel coloring added and it is supposed to be stronger in flavor.

Mint Chocolate:
She also told me she is working on a better Mint Chocolate flavor. Her current one is probably best used as a base as it tastes more like mint ice cream. It is not very strong.

Sweet Cream:
Her Sweet Creame tastes like real cream and is not sweet at all. I was looking to use it to make an ice cream flavored liquid, but when I made up a sample I almost gagged as it is a really strong cream flavor, like the cream used in coffee.

For those that want to use her tobacco absolute, her mix of 50% TBA and 50% PGA is really good. Much easier to work with and is very strong. I would like to see her get some absolutes made from other varieties of tobbaco.

I just ordered Mountain dew, Was really exited to see this flavor since I have a addiction to this soda! How close is this flavor to the real thing?

I got the same exact thing from it. Makes me wish I bought a smaller bottle. I'm going to try mixing it with some other flavors though.

Well I mixed the sweet cream with a bunch (I'm too embarrassed to say how much) of different flavors and it ruined them all. The first bottle I got was sweet so I ordered a 4oz bottle and didn't test it first. It tastes and smells like soured cream and I'm not very happy at the amount of money I just wasted.

Mt. Dew at 20% - tastes pretty close to the real thing. My favorite PA flavor.

Oh yes, I've ruined plenty as well

I was thinking about trying the sweet cream because my brother has some cappucino from a vendor that is more like black coffee, and I was hoping to give it a creamy flavor.....guess not

Sour cream & coffee (imagine a gagging emoticon)

Try adding some of PA's Bavarian Creme since it does not have the sour milk smell or taste. I use it when I make my Cafe Mocha.

I think the PA Bav Creme is my favorite PA flavor. I made 3 and 6 mL test juices with a bunch of PA flavors, and BC got used up way before the others. Something really nice about it. Very different than Lorann Bav Cr.

The PA blueberry juice I made took a few days to open up. Barely any flavor at all initially, but really great now. Very true flavor. Her fruit flavors are the best fruits I've had from any flavor company (but I've only tried Capellas, Lorann and PA). I have found that some of them need a couple days to bloom though. Some that I made that were too weak initially are now on the strong side! Which means my general 10% rule seems to hold for PA flavors, one just has to be a little patient.

I love the Bavarian Cream too, I use it in a lot of mixes. I love the taste of her blueberry, it's one of my favs, but I like to mix it with cinnamon & BC and seeing as I'm out of the blueberry, I'm going to try the extra blueberry because the cinn. kinda overpowers it. Coconut & blueberry is another mix I'm starting to love.

I agree, her fruit flavors are spot on. Even though I still find a couple to be a little on the weak side.

@Ast_Isis: I tried he bavarian cream in the cappucino, and definite improvement, thanks! Guess BC & EM was the combo to make it less bitter!
