I've tried a nice selection of WF's flavors and I'm pretty happy with them, but not comparing to other brands, I just don't really have the experience yet. I will say I did sfts of wf peach pie and cream and CAP Peaches and Cream at 5% and the wf pie was more flavorful, still wanted a little more peach though. Did a 5% WF Shortbread cookie and that was too strong for me, will probably keep that one to 2 to 3% max.
I often wonder how much difference many of us get from flavors due to our different vape setups or styles. The conversation about %'s with
@AXIOM_1 above got me thinking about it again.
I almost exclusively vape on an Aromamizer Plus RTA with dual Kanthal coils around .2 to .3 at 60 to 80 watts, pretty warm, cloudy, and flavorful. I was concerned when I started mixing about sweetness levels especially because I was getting really turned off of how sweet so many commercial liquids are. I figured I wanted some sweetener and used up to 1% in mixes for about a month, but that quickly tapered off and I don't add sweeteners to any of my mixes right now.
As far as flavor percentages, some of my initial tries were around 20% some closer to 10%. The higher percentage recipes I wanted to try for others who were using commercial liquids or mtl style tanks like the Nautilus, the lower ones were more for me. A lot of the mixes I've been doing lately are anywhere from 13 down to 6% total, no sweetener. Many flavors come off a little sweet to me as they are. I do single flavor testers at 5% as a baseline, a couple have been too strong for me, but that may be because the flavor didn't agree with my pallette (it tasted funky lol). Mixes, i think the max I'm using for a main flavoring is 6%, with maybe 3% for more supporting flavorings, and that's pretty darn strong generally.
One more thing to note: steeeeeep. Sweetness seems to come out more with steeping along with flavor. I've been happiest with pretty much all my mixes after 1 month, a couple I have had for over 2 months and they really feel "right" now. So sad, I have about 10 mls of one of my first recipes, a hazelnut latte, and it is so good but it's going to get vaped tomorrow lol, and then it's gone. I need to mix that one again. Recipe!
