This is my first actual flavor review.
Testing was done using 510 Joyetech dripping atty's from 7.5 to 8.5 watts.
They were all mixed at 50/50 PG/VG & 12 mg/ml with Nicselect nic.
Tested them 10 days after mixing as single flavor mixes.
SC Molasses (WF) @ 2%:
Color of the liquid is really really light shade of yellow, almost transparent.
From smelling the liquid I get an authentic smell of molasses.
The taste is also spot on molasses to me.
I will use this at 0.25, 0.5% or 1% as an accent in my mixes.
This will replace TPA Molasses in my flavoring stash.
SC Deep Fried Pastry Dough (WF) @ 2%
Liquid is light orange.
To me, this one tastes exactly like it's picture or tastes like a glazed donut with no glaze.
It leaves a pleasant aftertaste in my mouth similar to the one I get after eating an actual donut.
This is not a bold flavor like molasses and has a full mouthfeel.
I will actually try increasing the concentration of this flavor to get a bit more out of it.
This will be a good base for donut recipes.
The smell of the vapor is pleasant!
SC Honey Roasted Peanuts (WF) @ 2%
Liquid is almost clear.
At first taste, I said, "Wow its really salty, how do they do that?", then, I started tasting the roasted component, and after, the taste of peanut seed coat, then the cotyledon, the kernel of the nut. After vaping quite a bit of it, I get all components in a good balance with the kernel of the nut taste coming through with the other parts to accent them. I do not taste a lot of honey but that may be because I am confusing it with the roastiness or because of my equipment.
I agree with Ceecee that it would be a good accent for peanut butter!
I have some other ideas for this and I plan on mixing a peanut brittle with this.
Vanilla Ruyan Custard (WF) @ 6%
Liquid is orange.
This one cough me by surprise, to my taste buds, this is a tobacco flavor and I will use it as such.
I get a creamy, sweet pipe/cigar tobacco like flavor from this, the tobacco note reminds me of RTS's Cohiba SC flavoring.
Too strong for me at 6%; I will use in a tobacco mix at a lower concentration. I may even replace that cohiba flavoring with this one.
Cinnamon Pastry (WF) @ 6%
Liquid is light yellow.
I tried all kinds of cinnamon/roll/danish/pastry flavors, a few were good but most were not to my liking.
Some did not get the pastry right some did not use the correct cinnamon.
This tester smells nice, kind of smells like my cinnamon danish mix.
This one is done right; the pastry component is really good and the cinnamon is a proper baking type one; both are well balanced.
It's a really good well rounded single flavor.
Using this flavor as a base, I will I boost/accent the cinnamon in a mix with FLV Rich Cinnamon.
I think that the pastry part holds it's own so well that it can replace or complement NF Danish Pastry in my cinnamon danish mix.
Caramel Butter (WF) @ 6%
Liquid is light orange.
I have tried lots of caramels and only kept four of the best of them for my mixes.
I do have a hard time with caramels as many of them just taste like sweetness to me.
I was prepared to be disappointed as usual with this one but it did not disappoint me, I was actually pleasantly surprised.
I get a nice gooey caramel cream with a hint of butterscotch, this can be the flavor that all those other caramel cream type flavors tried to be but failed.
WF Caramel Butter will join my caramel flavor collection and, I think I will label it as caramel cream.
Roasted Pecans & Cream (WF) @ 6%
Liquid is light brown in color.
I taste the pecan's and cream and a light roastiness, as usual, the flavor matches it's description and image on the WF site, as most of their flavors do.
My plan is to use this flavor in an ice cream mix.
Conclusion:
All and all, I am really pleased with these flavors, in general, they are what they say they are, they are true to their names.
They seem to be ready quickly as in they don't seem to need to steep for long periods for the flavor too come through.
I have yet to test how they hold out in mixes but, going from your comments in this thread, I have the impression that they will mix well. After acquiring more of them, I will try out the recipes posted on their site like some of you did!
This week I will be receiving and mixing testers of:
Crispy Wafer SC
White Fudge SC
Buttercream Frosting SC
Vanilla Cream Extra SC
Cocoa SC
Tahitian Vanilla Cream
Chocolate Chunks
