I couldn’t tell anything between it and nic river. The rest I’ve bought went straight into the freezer
Have read good comments Skunk, but haven't used it myself.
Thanks! I am putting together an order. The Heartland is such a great price.

Thank you for your thoughts. Funny thing is I already reduced the dairy milk. I haven't mixed yet. Might even go without the milk to start.
Or do two testers; one with, and one without. It would give you side-by-side comparison, AND it would allow blending of the two for various dairy levels. :D
Just noticed TFA has an Orange mandarin flavor. Any opinions?
It has been a while since I have used it (or any orange concentrates for that matter); but it was my go-to for orange recipes when I wanted a true(r) orange/tangerine presence. It was not the weak, soda-like (aka. "artificial"), flavor that TFA-Orange Cream was. It also hade just a bit if that orange peel bite (zest) to it. I can't speak to how it holds up after long aging like @Letitia sometimes does with her oranges; but in the short term I found it tasty. Maybe a bit more like a tangerine vs. mandarin; but tasty none the less.
I've got tfa vanilla bean gelato. Is this similar enough to tfa vanilla bean ice cream to substitute?
I have used VBG as a sub for VBIC on several occasions at the same percentage. It lacks a bit of the richness, but is still serviceable.
OMG. Flv has a favor called Pucker. I need that...LOL. Out of stock:)

The linked Reddit review (under the Review Sources tab) was an interesting read.
How's the Heartland 100mg. Nic compared to NicSelect?
Heartland (basic; not Premium) nic has been my daily nic, along with old RTS inventory) for around two years now. I am not a nicotine conneseuar; but I detect no off notes, it is smooth (little to no throat hit at 18mL), and it works great for my needs. I have not used NicSelect so I can't offer a comparison.

I bought it for the same reason you are looking at it... the price is hard to beat. I have not had a moment's regret. They will be the first place I turn if/when I need to order more. :D

I ordered it. Thanks for the input. I am not a connisseur either. As long as it is not really peppery I will be happy.:thumb:

    I've had this Huckleberry quite some time. After I mixed the failed cheesecake I never tried it again. Can't find the old recipe I used but no doubt I used too much flavor. I really have no idea what it tastes like:lol:

    The FW has an almost blueberry taste to it but a bit darker. I really dont think its a stand alone. It works good at 2% and below with other blueberries.

    I'm not a straight fruit vaper. Just want to get an idea of what the flavor is to me before I mix again with it.

    Ok,I need some help. I've run though almost every flavor on BCF. Since I'm able to do an additional order I may go to ECX. Haven't ordered from there in awhile. I've noticed several recommendations for FE flavors but didn't make note of them. Any good ones to recommend??

    Sweet rice lives up to the hype, very good. Lemon is tasty, nice not too sweet candy lemon. Sweet grape will prove useful as a blending grape, regular grape is just okay for me.

    Thank you. Sweet rice seems a strange flavor and I bet its sweet.

    Not as sweet as you might imagine but yes it is sweet. Will pair well with berries and some use it in pastry and custards. I find the exhale rice note pleasant. I haven't worked up any recipes for it yet.
