    I've used FA Mangosteen a good amount and it is not like a strawberry. Although...
    One description I saw of mangosteen's flavor was like peach mixed with strawberry and some other third thing you can't place.
    I do sometimes get the peach with a hint of strawberry thing from it, but mostly my palette just says "exotic tropical fruit".
    I haven't mixed with FA Mangosteen in a while. In one of my DIY notebooks I have notes on it from when I sft'ed it. Off the top of my noggin' I don't recall the details.

    from HIC's notes:

    An excellent match for the flavor of fresh mangosteen, which is very hard to find in the U.S. If you ever have the chance to try fresh mangosteen - do it! It's called 'Queen of the Fruits' for good reason. Fresh mangosteen is incredibly sweet. Though this flavoring is one of FlavourArt's sweetest, it doesn’t quite match the sweetness of the fresh fruit. To maximize the sweetness use high VG and very clean nicotine. A clean coil is essential for this delicate flavor. I think hardware that produces a cooler vapor makes it taste best.

    FA Mangosteen is delicate, juicy, mild, and exotic. It has notes of a ripe Seckel pear (with similar sweetness), fresh white peach, some hints of mild orange, and something similar to sweetened pineapple. It has nothing in common with mangos, despite the name. I think fans of dragonfruit would especially like this flavor. Around 2% a floral note will develop. Excellent as a mystery flavor accent in tropical fruit blends. Try it as a sweetener for orange. Watch your “best by” date on this flavoring; it’s really unpleasant when it’s past its prime!

    If it's that sweet I'm not real interested.

    I may have to try it.
    If you worked it into other flavors that are not sweet it would probably be tolerable. May even take to some of those sweet killers you have used.
    All the descriptions of fruit flavors in Mangosteen do not do it justice, it's hard to place. Delicate but you can tell it's there.
    It has a rich mouthfeel, deep and creamy. I tend to use it around 3% but that is very forward.
    I feel like you could mix almost any fruit with it and you would get that exotic smoothness coming through.

    I'm not real fond of Sourcemore's shipping prices but I went ahead and ordered it. My Brunhilde shipped from ft and I need something to put the dang thing on. I'll just pay it back when I get my rent. I'm done with mods and tanks. Maybe some flavors.

    What color did you order on the mod?

    The Brunhilde MTL RTA looks pretty sharp on the Brunhilde SbS.

    I do like that the Brunhilde SbS can take any of my 18650, 20700 or 21700 batteries.

    IIRC from when I measured the Brunhilde RTA that it's only like 4mm-5mm taller than a Dvarw with the 6ml tank section.

    Here’s my blue one on it. I’m waiting for the Kreimhild tank to dry. I always clean new tanks.

    It appears that BCF does not have it.

    Not too fussed re the rhubarb, think any brand probably be ok, just really love the actual food, might go see what's available locally.

    I use Inw.
