This was posted to the DIYORDIE Mixers Group on FB tonight.
"Okay I just got off the phone with Joey at DIYFS, and it's some sad news. One of the manufacturers for his ingredients in Holy Holy Grail RY4, Holy Vanilla, and Gooey Butter Cake, is discontinuing one of the ingredients. He has a lot left tho, and said he would put V1 back up on the web, and asked me to blast to buy as much as you can now. It will go to V2 when he runs out. I feel so bad for him. SFTs will happen tonight for comparison and I will post results. Smell test is not bad, just not as rich.
UPDATE: SFT done with 10% flavor in max VG, tested on Recurve single coil of Ni80 Fused Clapton & Cotton Bacon:
Holy Vanilla V2 tastes good, mellow, no off notes, but lacks the cake-was in my mouth-like goodness of V1 and the depth of aroma. V2 is ever so slightly sweeter, smooth, and imo will work just fine, so ALL IS NOT LOST. It has been suggested by others, that the possible change is in the loss of DAAP, but that is theory only! The creator, Joey at DIYFS, is not going to discuss that with anyone outside of his business."
If you want original Holy Vanilla, buy it now. There is a coupon through Memorial Day for 20% off - memorial20. If you LOVE it, now is your chance to get a BIG bottle.
