Testing: 10ml single flavor & 20ml recipe samples were mixed by weight @ 30/70 PG/VG & 6 mg/ml with RTS nic and aged for 14+ days. Toppers were Serpent Mini RTA's with KGD organic cotton & UD 24ga SS316L wire for 3mm .32 & .33ohm single spaced coils. Samples were tested in Power Mode @ 30 - 35w & in TC @ 30W/420 - 450F. Power was provided by a Jac Vapour DNA75 & Aspire NX75-A. Each sampling gets a fresh juiced wick & 2ml of liquid. Subsequent tasting was done as I usually do in TC, vape the wick practically dry & add a new flavor.
These are just my opinions & you know what they say... Keep in mind, I love custards, creams, nutty things & bakeries. I'm not particularly good at flavor descriptions. I'm lazy & typically mix simple, straight forward recipes & really like premade blends or single flavors that can stand on their own. I hoped most of the flavors I ordered would be just that. Mix, age & vape. I've pretty much vaped these exclusively for the last 6 - 7 days. That said, here we go...
Caramel Butter 6%
Caramel is very mild & a bit thin. Kinda disappointed, was hoping for a rich, buttery blend but that's not what I'm getting. Maybe a higher % will help, but I'm not sure I can get there from here. This one seems better with more heat & I liked it slightly better in power mode @ 33w...
Caramel Rice Crispies Treat 6%
My favorite of the two caramels. Still light, but slightly richer, with more depth & a better mouthfeel. The better half likes this one standalone @ 9% in her Cubis tank with a .5 coil...
Cinnamon Pastry 6%
Great pastry with a light dusting of mild cinnamon. Personally, I'd like a little more. As is, this would make a great doughnut/danish/fritter base. I can see lots of uses, for the types of juices I vape...
Hazelnut & Cream 6%
Really good, nice smooth blend of hazelnut & cream. Great standalone for those who like nutty vapes. I think a touch of something sweet would really make this shine. Whoa, it's all gone...
Roasted Pecan & Cream 6%
A good nutty flavor, (Pecan? Kinda, sorta, not really... for me.), in cream. A suitable standalone for those who enjoy nutty vapes, like me...
Butterscotch Cream Pie 6%
Nice smooth creamy butterscotch with ample crust. I like this one alot, probably my favorite. Likely even better @ a slightly higher %. Guess I'll have to try that, since I've vaped the 10ml sample...
Butter Pecan Pie 6%
This one is pretty good, mild butter pecan, nice filling & a hint of crust. Perhaps a slight % increase could make this one even better. I just loaded the last of it, so we'll see. A 5/1 mix with Roasted Pecan & Cream is tasty. Another one the better half likes @ 9% in her Cubis...
Peach Pie & Cream 6%
Another good one. Nice, sweet canned peach or peach preserves mixed with a sweet cream & a light crust. Maybe a bit too candy like for some. I might bump this up a bit, but very enjoyable as it stands. A 5/1 mix with Butter Pecan Pie is pretty good. The better half is a fan of this one as well in her Cubis. 9% seems to be the magic # for her...
Tahitian Vanilla Cream
Oddly enough, I didn't make a tester of this one. What was I thinkin'? I'll get to it as I test the SC's. It's been 21 days & they're ready...
Buttercream Pecan (WF Recipe)
A rich, buttery blend with a nice nuttiness. Lots of flavor here. The Tahitian Vanilla Cream makes a great canvas for the other flavors. I will definitely make this again, possibly bumping up some of the supporting flavors a bit...
Sticky Caramel Cinnabun (WF Recipe)
Nice flavor profile, but missing the rich caramel & cinnamon notes typically found in such treats. Not bad, just not quite what I hoped for. I think the WF caramels let this one down. A few tweaks could make this great...
Although not perfect, what is? I'm pleased with these flavorings. With a couple exceptions, they are pretty much true to their descriptions & I encountered no off tastes. Most are very good standalone. Many flavors have an underlying sweetness that practically eliminates the need for additional sweetener. As always, YRMW...
