Question about hangsen DIY flavorings

[FunkD]

What do the bottles look like? I saw pics online and they were in a bottle with "hangsen" visible on the bottle. The bottles I have all say "essense" across the top and I was wondering if I received something I didn't order.

The caramel mocha is mixed at 4% and I'm letting it steep
the espresso is mixed at 3% but it tastes the same a caramel mocha. I guess i'll have to let them steep for a while.

Thanks

My bottle just said essence as well and it was from ecx so I'm sure it is legit.

Different bottles/labels from different vendors.

I don't have the Caramel Mocha, but I do have the Espresso. HS flavors are 'suggested' at 5%-7% - so I typically start with 5% (or maybe a smidge lower/higher depending upon how intense the smell is).

At 6% (for me) the Esperesso has a really good flavor, but still seems a bit too "weak" (particularly compared to real espresso). The one thing that frustrates me...?...it seems to have no "depth" (richness, fullness, low-notes, body, "balls", lol). It's cloud-light & airy...like the waft of butterflies over a great cup of espresso.

I don't use it as a 'stand alone', but I do mix it with other flavors. I've never noticed much of a change after a 5-7 days.

Thanks! The espresso and caramel mocha both have that "kinda burnt kinda coffee flavor, i tried both with new coils so i know that's not it. I'll just add more flavor and let steep for a bit. I'm ust having a real tough time finding a DIY flavor that i really like, hell any flavor for that matter.
