Just mixed up some vapor renu flavors. I bought them during the sale, which was a great deal, however, for flavor west flavorings it is much better to order right from the flavor west site, about the same price for 4 times the flavoring, plus Flavor West has samplers (2 bucks for 2 drams). Both are great deals even VR without the sale can't be beat.
I used an 70/30 PG mix with 15% flavoring and only 6mg of nic because I'm trying to cut my nic down or out completely. I also dripped the juice while writing this with three different Riva/Ego 510s.
Kahlua and Cream ***** This flavor is so smooth and rich. It's not bitter at all and no sweetness is needed. I guess a couple drops of sweetner could be added, but I like it just the way it is and more sweetener would ruin it for me. Just mix with nic juice and it's ready to go. It's not only one of the best flavorings I have tasted, it is a candidate for an all day vape. Now, I did not let these flavors steep at all before reviewing them, just mixed them up tonight. This one is ready from the get go. I can't imagine it improving with age, I'd be surprised if it could be better. I was really leary of ordering this because when I ordered the Kahlua and Cream nic juice from VR, there just wasn't enough taste and flavor for me. I am so glad I ordered it. I only used the 15% flavoring and it has a strong flavor, but not one that will take over an atty. I recommend this flavoring strongly, unfortunately, it's a VR flavor, so there is no sample size available.
Double Dutch Chocolate ****A Flavor West flavoring. Excellent chocolate vape, it is good on it's own, but I want chocolate that is more sweet, so I added some stevia. It smells like tootsie roll with the stevia, according to my daughter, but I think it taste more like a brownie. It is very good, nothing bitter like Loranns. It's also good to go. I highly recommend. A great flavor to mix with others as well--I also mixed up a peppermint-chocolate juice, I kind of underestimated the strength of the peppermint, but the chocolate still comes through. I will be adding more of the ddc to the peppermint though.
Irish Creme*** Spot on flavor with the liqueur edge, it's not like an irish creme coffee flavoring. It's ready to go right after mixing. When this is mixed with the Kahlua and Creme it is sensational.
Peppermint*** This is a very deceptive flavor, I could barely detect a smell from the flavoring, so I did a 50/50 mix of my chocolate-peppermint vape with it and it was too strong. When I mixed it straight it is quite strong as well, I will only use 10% of the peppermint because of the strength in the future. It is a good peppermint and the flavor is true, just not what I was looking for. I should have ordered the candy cane, that is the flavor I was looking for. This is more like the inside of a peppermint patty without being so sweet and I think after I add some more double dutch chocolate and stevia (perhaps a smidge of keoke coffee for the dark chocolate taste) to my peppermint chocolate juice, that is the flavor I will have. Overall it is a great peppermint flavoring. Another concern with mint or menthol flavors is that they will take over an atty, though this is a strong peppermint, it will not "stain" the atty for days, I just added some drops of the Kahlua and Creme and vaped it away.
Vanilla Frosting** Not my favorite, but it's not a bad vape. I would recommend it to people that like vanilla frosting, because that is the flavor you get. I had to add some stevia though, because I like it a bit sweeter. It's Flavor West flavoring, so samples can be ordered.
Sweet Cream Oh no, no, no, I just can't do this one. I don't know how it would taste if I added stevia, but as a straight flavoring with nic juice it is not good. I can see it giving some undertones to other flavors, but I would never recommend it as a stand-alone flavor. It might be of use to some strong tobacco flavors like desert ship to cut the sharpness, it has a butter-gone-bad kinda taste to me. It does take over an atty as well. I honestly can't recommend this flavor.
