A question for long time users of RF. I have tried to like my 3 test flavors. I am having a hard time with the taste of alcohol. It's been over a month or so since I mixed 3 flavors and all I can taste is the alcohol taste. How can I get this to work?
what percent did you mix them at? have you tried letting them breathe for an hour or two? maybe mix them to a froth a bit before you let them breathe?

I'm not an expert. I let my mixes breathe. Open the bottle. Daily, every other day, every 3rd day, what ever fits the schedule. Only for a short time for air exchange within bottle. Do not shake bottle before breathe; stale air will be trapped in mix. As stated about my experience with rfsc banana the harshness(alcohol?) seems to disappear day 17+. Remember higher percentage of sc in mix(higher alchol) the longer your steep. Banana @2% 20/80 mix needed 28-30 days

Beat me to it fozzy71.....
I must have editing/reviewing/ Senior moment/hippy holiday/ no one knows
LOL

hehe, I work from home and work is a bit slow today so I am all over the various non-work forums.

When I first started with these I would let them breathe for 60 - 120 minutes after mixing with my badger paint mixer. I have gotten away from doing that lately after seeing a post by walt saying it wasn't really necessary. Some will give me a bit of heavy chest or extra throat hit feeling from the alcohol in the first 1 - 3 weeks depending on how often they get opened for testing but by week 4+ that is usually gone. I am undecided if I will go back to breathing my testers at this point but I should decide as I have 19 more to test yet, and 7 of them are lined up ready to be mixed likely today or tomorrow.

For bigger batches, that have more flavoring in them, I think I should probably go back to doing it but I suppose that will be determined by how much steeped juice is in my cabinet at the time. If I have 2+ liters steeped and am mixing a batch I don't thinking letting them breathe will be as important since they likely won't be vaped for a few months or more.

Noticed this brand is apparently old killer juice brand?
If so i could see ppl finding it harsh, as some of their juices back then is still super harsh (like 2 years since i bought em)
However their cinnamonroll bun flavour was amazing, shamrockshake too.
But some of the flavours are way to harsh that's why they've been sitting collecting dust.

If it's not then sorry for the mistake, but i think i read somewhere that Walt was behind it.
Edit: And if it is the old KJ brand i've to buy some flavorings i think. I like some of their juices.

Northern NJ native , Coastal NC now.
Got a chance to sample a few VG based Real Flavors flavorings and i have found my new Strawberry Milkshake flavoring for sure . This stuff is outstanding , considering buying the Super Concentrate because supposedly it's much stronger and will last longer but i want to make sure it's the same because it comes in an alcohol base.

I love Strawberries and Cream also , i love Egg Nog flavoring but this flavoring seems to be very weak and i can't find it in the Super Concentrate like the others.

At nearly 15% flavor total the Egg Nog is still very faint regarding flavor but it hasn't steeped much , i have a feeling this one might become weaker with more steeping time not stronger , we will see .

If you haven't tried these flavorings you should , they have a great deal on sample packs now , 5 - 30 ml bottles for $24.95

My stuff came in today. Made a few 10ml testers and said "F" it and made a 30ml shake and vape of the apple pie. I'm liking these flavors so far and will probably be buying more..... soon.....real soon...... I may have already ordered and didn't know soon.

The SC version gets rave reviews over on ELR and it is in my cart for the next time I place an order.

Okay Guys, So heres what I got. ALL SUPER CONCENTRATES.
1x Dreamsicle
1x Cinnamon Roll
1x Blu Rax Cotton candy
1x Strawberry Kiwi
1xBeazer Tail
1xYogurt Purfrait
1x Melon Medley
1x Apple Pie,

Sorry to say but the packaging sucked :( I opened the bottle and while pouring, the Droper thingi popped out and I wasted approx 40ml of Cinamon Roll, Luckily I was wearing gloves, but some liquid still got in and now I have a patch on my thumb. :(

Nontheless, I dont have much time on my hands due to shifting, Can anyone please tell me the ideal percentages for these flavors that theyve used on. So that I can use your recommendations and just mix an put it to steep while I shift.

They have dripper tops now? All 60+ flavors I have are without drippers and I use pipettes. bummer.

The only 2 of those I have, that I have tested so far, are cinnamon roll and apple pie. I tested the CR at 2.5 and AP at 1.5%. I would recommend trying them both at 2.5% to see how you like them if you are making small testers. I personally will mix them at 3.5% if I ever make them as a larger one shot mix.

I'm not really impressed with the fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA. I'm thinking of adding some lemon. Any other thoughts on how to improve it?

I actually like it but I haven't ate that cereal in decades and it has only been steeping a couple days. I am also not a fan of lemon in general so I can't really suggest how you might go about improving it other than trial and error.
