I think we can all agree on the WF Hazelnut and Cream....yes?

So mine are in no particular order
PUR Boysenberry Preserves

I like fruit. And the PUR just hits the spot for me. Not fake, not candied just has a good flavor to it. I like it strong so I probably mix it at a higher rate than most would. Around 12-14% and it takes a long time to steep. But then most of them do anyway.
If you wanted yummy, like sweet gooey type stuff, I really don't do that. I could have said PUR Buttermint and gotten the same reaction from you. Because that flavor is right up there with the ones I listed. I know I am weird but it is what it is. I like the chocolate chunks also so could have said that one too. There may not be any hope for me.....LOL

I liked it ok but I’m not as crazy about the hazelnut and cream as others are.

A few current favorites are pudding base, horchata smooth, vanilla custard cheesecake,

Its a little buttery but not to much. Its basically a maple pancake syrup

I dunno

I've only used it once before and I can't remember what recipe it was.

According to ConcreteRiver on Reddit:

Flavor Description: Based on a lightly caramelized invert sugar syrup. Like pancake syrup without the maple flavoring, basically.

Seems pretty accurate, at least to the homemade version I tried. Mostly just sweet, but with a bit of a deep caramel warmth. Nothing too heavily toasted or burnt, and manages to avoid that soapy caramel off-note you’ll get with a harder caramel like FA. Some fairly light buttery richness here, but nothing like a full on caramel sauce. Tastes maybe just a bit malty, but it’s pretty subtle. No other weird bakery flavors sticking out, tastes like their could be a really slight amount of vanilla in here but if it’s there it works pretty cohesively with the flavor without calling attention to itself.

Pretty heavily sweet flavor overall, which makes sense. Moderate thickness and the mouthfeel does, in fact, feel like a syrup. Not really watery, but it does kind of feel like a liquid type of sweetness as opposed to a dry, solid block of sugar. Seems to vape a bit warm, but nothing that is really interfering with the flavor. Not really relevant, but very sweet room note. Smells like I was vaping some Aunt Jemima’s after walking back into the room.

For a sweet flavor, seems pretty easy on the coils. I went through about 15ml of this on the same wicks and coils. The wicks got maybe a bit crunchy, but nothing really burnt. Just for laughs, I dry burned the coils off and didn’t see any heavy coil gunk burning off, so if there is a sweetener in here it’s at least not crazy heavy on sucralose.

I got the maple. Really lite but its there. I guess we all get different things. Not many here old enough to remember but there used to be a syrup called king. Kind of a karo syrup and it taste just like that to me. Its basically SWEET

I guess I am confessing to being old cause I remember this.

It was good to.

I am looking at blueberry waffles at some point .

Finally got around to making a few small new recipes:

Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
Mother of Dragons Milk
Dr Grimmes Unicorn

Then “updated” a couple of disappointing mixes like an Orange Creamsicle & Cranapple mix. Hopefully they’ll taste batter in a few days.

Was going to make my custard base but I just put in a BCF order which includes Yes We Cheesecake INW which I’m really excited to try. So I’ll wait until that arrives.

Hope everyone else had a great day. Stay warm brrrrrr !

 

[smacuser]

...or maybe banana .

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Well, I might as well throw this out there. I have tried INW yes, we cheesecake in 2 different mixes and I just don't taste cheesecake. So I am letting them steep some more but they both had very short steeping times with the recipe. Maybe I need to up the amount of cc I put in but don't want to ruin the mix if its one of the flavors muting it for me. sigh,....
