    Really?:confused: I am sitting on 364 concentrates. Why do I have 38 new ones sitting on my BCF wishlist (granted; its been there, and growing, since July).:facepalm: :rolleyes: :D
    :lol::lol::lol:

    I think, the only way to stop wanting new flavors, is to stop reading this thread! You all just make too many things sound so good! :laugh::wub:

    The rabbit hole has no bottom as far as I can tell.

    Anyone have any experience with TPA/TFA Grape juice? I heard it was really good as a single flavor .. sorta like grape koolaid (which I quite like).

    Think I'm going to move to fruits and berries (no nuts or cereal) .. I thought I would like the desserts, creams, and bakery more than I actually do.

    Anything you guys would add to it (if you like it), or have a preferred % to use as a standalone?

    I think I have it but never opened it.

    I checked my list and do have the tfa as well as vta. I guess I should get them out and do sft on them.

    Yeah, I thought I was done and now there are forty-two flavors in my cart at Chef's Flavours.

    This is from ID10-T on Reddit. I trust his judgment - Dave is a great mixer.


    "There are so many grape flavors out there! Quick run down on the ones I've tried:

    TFA Grape Juice. Weak. Tastes like a cross between watered-down store brand grape juice from concentrate and grape kool-aid. I think the best use I've ever seen of this flavor wasn't even as a grape, it was used to make CAP Sweet Strawberry into strawberry jam in this old Flavor of the Week post

    TFA Grape Candy. Tastes kinda like a grape lollipop with some of the plastic wrapper still stuck to it, weird plasticky note, but has been used to give other ingredients a jolly rancher vibe.

    INW Grapes. The grandaddy of the grapes, the one that caused many of us, myself included, to become Grackheads. Like shoving a handful of mixed white and red grapes into your face. But not American table grapes, more like the thick-skinned grapes with seeds in them. Tannic, earthy, and a bit floral.

    FW Grape Soda. So much sucralose, it's insane. Major coil gunker and tastes like diet grape soda. Probably pretty yummy if you're into that sort of thing but it actually gives me a headache."

    FLV Grape. Delicious and 90% of the way to a perfect grape kool-aid or grape popsicle.

    SC Grape. Mouthwatering grape candy; "the LA Watermelon of grapes."

    Dang ... guess I'm going to have to make another order with FLV Grape :/ Another Reddit thread I saw said the TFA Grape Juice was amazing ... blahhh

    Taste is very subjective. You might love it.

    I agree, but I ordered a bottle of it anyways ... shipping was only like $7. I really like grapes .. like the artificial koolaid types. I'll have two of them to play around with now while I think of what other flavors I might want to make a larger order of ... maybe a blue slushie clone or something ;p

    It’s sort of like the Shinyitis thread. If I stopped going there I wouldn’t be buying all this hardware!!

    I’m going to have a good bit of time to myself tomorrow so I’m planning on working more on my flavor organizing and possibly cleaning out and organizing my vape cabinet.
    Next week I should give my cases some attention. I need to double up some small bottles to make more room.

    Last time I just started putting two flavors in each slot of my case. I’m going to continue that in my second polish case. In time, I’d like to switch out my stack on cases for polish cases. However, the stack on cases fit more flavors.

    Still have a bit of it, and I found it as PJ notes ID found it. Not my kind of grape, solo. But it may be koolaidy enough for you :)

    But weak, % will likely have to be higher than anticipated.

    Thanks for checking :) Any thoughts on a starting percentage?

    It seems you have trouble finding stuff in the stack on cases. It so easy with the double sided cases.

    I like Grape but didn't find one I really liked. I'm not home but ELR says I have Fa Concord Grape and I'm pretty certain I have Cap grape if I didn't pif it. Think I'm going to try the FLV Grape.
