Question time.

I did a bit of searching here and read several comments saying that Flavor Jungle's FE Flavor Express is the same as SC Super Concentrates. Is that true?

I never had any SC but now I have some FE. I read that SC should be used at very low %. I'm struggling a bit with my FE Gooseberry and was wondering if I'm using too much of it. My latest mixes have 3% gooseberry.

Any thoughts?

I am curious too. Not real sure, but my faded memory seems to remember FE being around while SC was... but then I think FE (Flavor Express) became FJ (Flavor Jungle). I could be wrong though...

I Googled it and a lot of folks say they are the same.

And of course, more confusion.. I am seeing Flavor Jungle is supposed to be from Germany and Flavor Express is from China. I think at this point I should just concede due to ignorance and let someone else takeover. Skeebo, exit stage left.:lol:

    Morning, all.

    Still hot in Phoenix, rain at home. Visit going well. Looking forward to that, really.

    They still say they're running above average here, and won't be turning down the thermostat until next week, after I leave, of course. :rolleyes:

    As far as I know, FE and SC are the same. I have some of both.

    Good morning random folks :) Have you any plans today?


    YES - To sulk, brood, be sulen, and maybe even be more emotional and depressed then have been (possibly could even cry). . . Yesterday did not go well at all in any way . . . Got so bad, by the end of the day - I "Blew" a rod and KILLED the car . . . NOT GOOD :mad: :-x :censored: . . . I have to have and NEED a vehicle . . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    *RANT OVER* . . . .

    The only good thing, is that it happened at a small roadside gas station/Convenience store (no name) out on a country high way (you know the kind) . . . I left the car in their parking lot and signed over the title to her - in turn she will give it to her son who just got his drivers license . . . From what I understand the father and son are mechanics . . . :thumbs: . . . So I hope they realize it has New Thermostat / Water pump, New Tires (4), New Battery, New Brakes, Cluster refurbished all within th epast few months . . . KBB Rated gave it a $2,500 trade-in value . . . .Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I'm just a visitor, so don't really know. For the past umpteen years I've been coming down here in March, for my Dad's b'day and visiting other relations down here. Then, Covid, so the trip's been on hold the last 2. He took a minor fall a couple months back (recovered well!), but having missed the last two and the next one getting him to the century mark, just wanted to be sure I saw him again, just in case. Still mostly sound in mind, but of course at 99 and months the bod has some worn parts. :rolleyes:

    That's certainly understandable at 99. Glad your Dad is doing so well.:)

    Sorry about the car problems. That was awful generous of you to give the car away. So I take it you will be car shopping very soon?

    They are similar and most flavors are good under 2.5%. I know that I tried vaporzone Super Concentrated flavors and Bull City and FE brand. They are all from China. I read before that Vaporzone and Bull city comes from the same manufacturer but FE (flavorjungle) comes from a different seller. This was many, many years ago. I tried them all and to me they are the same. Now Hangsen (China) is so much better. I can't vape too much of the alcohol based flavoring because my autoimmune liver disease will feel it. I just wish they still sold the Inwera tobacco absolutes. The Cigar was my favorite and no clogging of coils like Nets. I have nets that I don't use. I bought them, tried one flavor and moved on. I'm not making coils right now so its expensive to vape a premade coil. Sorry..random thoughts.

    Actually been car shopping for over 2 years . . . It's getting harder and harder to find what I NEED at a reasonable price and the dealers always want to "Up-Sell". . . Thankfully I have had the assistance of our own special lady "The Savvy Vape Lady" - @JCinFLA, who is always helpful and is the finder of deals for everyone the the past few weeks . . . However, The car on Clearance I went to buy yesterday was no longer available, even after being confirmed I was coming the the dealership yesterday morning . . . After taking over 3 hours to get there turns out to have been a huge "Bate & Switch" scam from a supposedly very reputabe company with 16 dealerships in the area . . . OH WELL . . . :(

    NEXT . . . :closedeyes:

    @Uncle karma should be good to you after that gift. Hope you find a great vehicle at a super price.

    Do you have carmax and the like down there?


    Thank You - I NEED some GOOD KARMA . . . :D

    And Yes, there is Carmax, Auto Nation, and Carvana, including approximately 300+ other small used car dealerships in my area . . . That's why it is making a simple process even harder and more confusing . . . Very frustrating, especially given that they are so over prices these days . . . Very few have want I'm looking for - A Crossover/SUV, Ground clearance of 9+ " , under or near 70K miles (definitely under 100K miles) basic and simple . . . And if they do they want almost as much as it would be to purchase the car new . . . Oh Well, the search will continue . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    We ran into a similar situation last time we bought my wife a car. With interest rates what they were on used vehicles it was actually cheaper to buy new with 0% interest.
