FLV Alpine Strawberry is a good s-berry. Very strong. It's an ultra concentrate. I've never used Alpine Strawberry over 2 drops in a 30ml mix.

I have the Alpine. I may do a 15ml ice cream with one drop.

I haven’t used it much cause I’ve never taken the time to get a handle on it……wicked strong.
It's the strongest flavour concentrate I've got and as others have said it's a drop at a time. I'm finding that mine is mellowing very slightly in my tank so I'm going to let it breath a bit when I next mix some. I would think that my 30ml bottle will last for years.

I have an order on the way to me right now.
One new flavor I am excited about is Salted Caramel FW. I want to try that with Soho, and plenty of other things too. Wanted that one for a while.
Also have the FA Cappucino, Lulo, and JF Yellow Cake, all new to me.

    I really like the FA Cappuccino. It’s a nice mellow coffee to me. IMO the FA Espresso is strong/harsh tasting.

    When I use the Espresso I use it at .75% generally, and I get a strong black coffee.
    But it ends up tasting like burnt coil quickly, it is too strong and dark for me too I guess. I always start out liking the strong coffee but then it is hard to finish a bottle sometimes.

    The directions to this cheap little mag light are laughable. That’s ok cause I don’t need all the clips and other doodads it comes with, just need the mag and the light. It has one plus and takes batteries. Whether or not it will work for me remains to be seen. I couldn’t work under a much bigger mag light so I have no doubts. The next step would be mag glasses.

    I think the only other coffee type flavor I have tried is Capella's Smooth Cappucino, which I thought was very tasty as a shake and vape but quickly lost flavor and got too "smooth". It smoothed itself right out of being coffee is what I said at the time lol.

    The only Cap coffee flavor I’ve ever bought is the Cup of Joe which isn’t bad.

    Morning, mixers.

    Another clear, sunny and, dang, dry day here. Now the chatter is about maybe rain maybe Wednesday. Or maybe not....

    Latest (last??) FT order delivered yesterday. Some items were "5 day", shipping notice was two weeks after order. But from notice to in hand was only another two weeks. :)

    Assorted drip tips, for the stash, and a grey wrapped Z80 :)

    I’m on my last coffee and really need to find something to do.

    Make another pot? :)

    Sadly, I only have two of those flavors.
    I can definitely see using a Salted Caramel in ice cream though.

    I haven't tried the FA Cappucino but the Expresso is bang on authentic good Italian coffee. Used sparingly I think you/i could come up with something akin to a good Cappuccino after all it's just an Expresso tipped into frothy milk in RL. There's a thought.....

    Mag glasses are excellent and they come with different lens magnifications. You do have to get used to them though. Also you can easily look over the top to go back to normal sight if needed. Sometimes I forget I'm looking at something magnified and think cripes that's small when I take them off.

    Another plus is when you forget that they're on...really geeky look....cheers everyone else up no end :D

    Don’t you have those big mag glasses? I’ve been looking at the ones that look more like regular glasses.
