VZ super concentrated fruit flavors....

[craftmath]

The tobacco flavors are coming through nicely for me at 2.5% - 3%. I'm mixing 50/50 pg/vg for all my diy batches. However, I have two fruits that are not shining at that ratio. Peach and banana seem a lil weak at that ratio, and even at 4% I dont' seem to get that "juicy peach" I hear about. Maybe its my taste buds, but I'm wondering what ratios some of you are using for the fruit concentrates from VZ.

I mixed the peach up at 3% alot of peach flavor for me and a friend that tried it also. Sorry not working for you

 

[craftmath]

What's your pg/vg ratio?

Also, how long are you letting the juice sit before vaping? I do find with these alcohol concentrates, most of these mixes can be vaped almost immediately.

I vape 70 pg 30 vg. I vape them right away but the tobacco's do get better with steeping

I'd either let it steep a few days and try it again or raise it up to 4-5% and see how it tastes. I had a similar problem and raised it and was sorry a week later when it was too strong after a good steep but I vape high PG. We have a friendly horse here named Cyrus....lol... who has gone up to I believe 7% on some of the flavors but I think he vapes all VG.

I am usually the one that cant taste the flavors but had no problem tasting the peach. Have not tried the other flavor you mentioned. But steeping will also improve the flavor

 

[craftmath]

I've knocked the banana and peach up to 5%. The peach is nice now, but like you all have mentioned, it will probably get stronger up sitting and I may be sorry in a week or so. I haven't tried the banana, but will report back with results. Thanks!

I mixed the peach and 3%, and like you, thought it was weak. Trust me on this, let it sit a week. The flavor will come through full force.

It's always better to let it sit a weak than trying to thin a blend. I know it's hard to let a new mix sit.

Banana is currently at 6% with 50/50 mix.... not much flavor. Been letting it sit for a week. Maybe miss banana and I weren't meant to be. Blueberry has shined at 3% and the same for cherry. Peach is nice at 5%. All the tobaccos I've had are just fine at 3% with the exception of french pipe. Had to bump it up to 4%....

Taste is subjective what works for some dont work for others. Glad you found some winners

I've just ordered quite a few of these from VZ, lots of fruit flavors. I am excited about them and will absolutely post reviews when they come in.

This will be my first time with the concentrated flavorings. 1 question thought. Do these need to steep longer, not as long, or does it depend on the flavor you are using?

For the most part they are vapeable as soon as mixed but get better with age. Start at 2.5% and go from there

My blueberry and cherry fruit flavors sort of taste the same after steeping for a while. WEIRD... I did read in another thread that someone tasted grape in different fruit flavors. I'm getting this now too. Or maybe its my mind f'ing with me.

That is what I have found, and few of the fruits need at least a week and then the flavor is right on. I once had a watermelon SC that came through nicely after a 2 week steep!

My BB is quite distinct in flav. The cherry I test mixed had much of the BB 'base', but no distinct cherry 'pop' to it.

I've set the cherry and pineapple projects aside for now. Too many other flavs to explore!

VZ is having a sale on everything in their store. Use code FD10 for 10% off on orders of $20 or more. This includes their SC flavorings also...woo hoo..shopping I go! Runs through June 15, 2012. This is also listed in the deals/steals thread.

 

[mgmrick]

Yes great time to stock up. Fathers buy away....oh and kids can also buy for us.....lol

I bought me a 30ml bottle each of Real Cig and Parliment. I really like both of those. Was hoping for a big bottle on ginseng but they only had the 5mls but that's okay...I'll hit them up again on another sale. I have all of them now so I'm a happy cat.
