@ItTechy - May I ask what the number/number represents in the newest list of percentages? I thought it might be a rating but then I saw:
Blueberry(Extra) Flavor 10-13% 6/5well perhaps he uber liked it?
Who is VZ in the world of flavorings? As if my debacle of adding double the flavoring to my Banana Nut Bread, my daughter and I realized this morning that about 1/2 of the flavors she handed me (she was the assistant and handing me things I called out for) 1/2 of the flavors were from the big box of flavors someone sent me that had a lot of VZ flavorings in them. I bought all needed flavors for BNB from TFA and found the unopened bottles today on my desk. So I ask her "hey how in the world did we make the Banana Nut Bread when these unopened bottles of Banana Nut Bread, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream are still on my desk. She says "I got them out of that box over there on your chair" Sure enough we used half VZ flavors!I mixed 18 recipes last night, and I had to laugh.
As I get done with each flavoring, I line them up according to company for putting away when I'm finished.
I think I had 1 CAP Vanilla Custard, a few LA's, about 7 FA's, some VZ, etc. ...and a TON of TFA.
Although I have some favorites from each company, the majority is turning out to be from TFA.
Just a few from the others, and I'm done ordering from CAP, with the exception of 2 or 3 flavors I like.

Andria says .... "THAT really annoyed me. So now if I'm mixing and he commences chattering at me, I turn around and give him the "hurry up already!" look."
I'm with ya Andria ... I do the same thing.
Hopefully he will get the message someday ... he's starting too, .. he knows "that Look"
Also glad to see you took my suggestion on the "Throat Hit" nic from VT, and it's working for you.
In turn, I took your suggestion on the Shisha Strawberry
Just mixed some up last night with Bav Cream, and INW Biscuit
I've bought the flavoring in 4oz bottles, and threw it in the freezer, since my stupid state is trying to stop any buying of e-cig supplies over the web.
Yes, (any) flavoring is just one of the supplies on their list ... but we can buy the "other stuff" here
Buying flavoring will probably get shot down, but I'm not one to take chances
A few of them are strong, but not very many.
I could give you a list of the "good stuff', but that would just be my opinion.
Well the flavors that I used were Banana Nut Bread and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Love to hear your opinions on thoseA few of them are strong, but not very many.
Some of the "Concentrated" are stronger than the "Super" Concentrated, and are even better than the "Gourmet"
I have a few that I would not go without, (yummy yummy), but most of them have been a big letdown with my taste buds.
After doing a lot of testing, I don't pay any attention to what they call it, as it doesn't live up to what they imply
I could give you a list of the "good stuff', but that would just be my opinion.
What flavors do you have ?? "Opinionated mind wants to know
Actually Cinnamon Sugar Cookie too! Looks like 75% of my BNB was VZ flavoring
Love to have your input as to what is good and what is not
Slots
These are all opinions on testing them solo only .. not in a recipe.
Remember, my taste buds are kinda shot
I have:
Banana nut bread-concentrate I had to go up to 18% with it, and it was OK, but very mild
Cinnamon Danish-concentrate 20% was yums
Cinnamon Sugar Cookie-concentrate don't have this one
Cotton Candy-Concentrate this is just straight EM, and for me, is used as a sweetener
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream-Concentrate don't have this one
Cheesecake-Concentrate went all the way up to 18%, and it had no flavor to me .. but then, I can't taste any cheesecake by other companys' either ... must be me
Then I have:
Cream-Super Concentrate I have it, but haven't tried it on it's own yet. Usually I like to try the creams with a fruit that I like, just to see how it changes it, since most of the creams don't have much of a flavor on their own.
Caramel Candy-Super Concentrate at 6%, it had no flavor to me. I'm told it needs 10% or better, but I haven't tried that yet.
Then I have:
9 bottles of things called VZ-SC Gourmet
Raspberry have it, just haven't got to it yet
Wild Berries Oh WOW .. super strong, start with 1 drop in 10ml. If you find it strong, you can always dilute some of the flavoring itself 50/50 with PG or VG, and try that.
Mandarin I have this one in SC, but haven't tried it yet
Strawberry tried it at 4% which may have been to strong, but still, it had a yucky "off" taste I didn't like .. gave it away
Sweet Orange don't have, but would like to try it some day
Sweet Vanilla super mild at 6%
Cake Ahhh, super tricky to find the right % to use, but I LOVE it. It's not really "cake" ... but has a mild lemon flavor that is yummy. I mix it at 2% ..It requires a LONG steep. Because it take so long to mature, people think they didn't add enough flavoring, but if it ends up sitting around for a while, they see the difference. Make two bottles, forget one for 2 months, and test the other one each week. You will see the difference in flavor and coloring.
Cream and Charlotte I only add 1 drop in 3-5ml, .. it's strong, and another long steeper .. still playing with the "sweet spot" on this one, percentage wise.
I cannot read but looks like something with the word "Sponge" in it. It's "Vanilla Sponge Cake SCG". It's suppose to taste like a "Twinky". It's good at 7% solo, and it's good when added to any fruits. Another long steeper, as are most all of VG's line of SCG No sweetener needed with it, or any of the SCG line in my opinion.
So does the SC stand for Super Concentrate?
So given what you are saying about it being mild no wonder I liked it better when I doubled it...YAY
Just in case any of you folks run into this with MAC', or IPads...
You will need Winzip for the IOS from the App store.
Zip is a compression format native originally to DOS, and then Winzip for Windows....they forgot about the Mac users...so now there is Winzip for the IOS!
Likewise DMG files are the native compression utility (format) for Mac' takes a special utility for Windows users as we cannot work with DMG files without an add-on called 7-Zip which handles various compression utilities for Windows users.
Not to confuse but there is also a 7-Zip for Mac' now as well...(not sure if it is available from the App store, but if you want it just Google 7-Zip for Mac).
To be honest I'm not sure of the features or differences in Winzip vs. 7-Zip for the Mac platforms, I do know that originally 7-Zip handled more formats than Winzip (for Windows), now they are probably very similar....
Yes, SC means Super Concentrate in the VZ flavorings.
Oh yes so sorry, I should have done that in the first place. I sort of just started thinking I was in a DIY thread. Pardon BillYes, SC means Super Concentrate in the VZ flavorings.
MBV uses Flavor West (FW) for the majority of the flavorings, and FW is know for being weak.
FW themselves recommends starting at 15%.
I don't mind answering your questions, but since this is a TFA thread, just "conversation" me next time when asking about other company's flavoring OK. Glad to help but ...
I don't want to get in trouble with Bill
