Beta 2 Flavor Test review of flavors provided Real Flavors…
Mixed 40/60 PG/VG at 18% flavor.
Steeped 2 weeks (no heat treatment) after froth treatment at mixing time.
Vaped in Goblin Mini RTA at 1 ohm Mouth to Lung
Baked Bread: Just like walking through the kitchen with the smell of a loaf of bread in the oven, and with a flavor to match that smell…Very smooth vape that didn’t change much at different wattages. A singular tasting vape with not a lot of layered complexities…Would blend well with peanut butter/fruit jelly kinda blend…Perhaps butter and cinnamon. There seemed to be almost sort of a potato bread essence to this flavor, but certainly not a dry vape as I initially anticipated.
Ginger Ale: Light/mild taste of the beverage with a little sweetness to it, but not an overwhelming flavor…Again a very smooth vape as are most of the Real Flavors, but for me, not too much to write home about.
Short Bread Cookie:…This was a tasty flavor reminiscent of the Girl Scout cookie, only tastier, and with an essence of sprinkled sugar…It too, produced an air of walking through the kitchen with cookies in the oven…Not a dry vape, as I anticipated, as Shortbread cookies often require a slug of milk to help wash them down…This flavor did not engender that feeling at all…A pleasant experience which started out light and increased as my tank warmed up.
Oatmeal Cookie:… This flavor did not do much for me, as I was anticipating a sort of spongy/chewy effect that a good oatmeal cookie has in its’ ingredients…Was perhaps hoping for a raisin touch, but the vape did not capture it for me…It seemed dry to me…Oatmeal flavor was light and not very evident.
Baklava 1 : This flavor was very pleasing as it captured the honey/sweet blend…And it wasn’t over bearing in the least, as many honey flavors are notorious for being too overpowering…This Baklava captured the essence of the saucy part of the flavor of the dessert…It had a moist sweetness which was a pleasant vaping experience, and again, very smooth.
Baklava 2: A totally different experience from Baklava 1 in that it lacked the honey/sweet aspect of the dessert, however, it did capture the dry, sort of flakelike, portion of the dessert…Also, there was a slight nuttiness essence to the vape.
Those observations made for the two Baklavas said… make the idea of combining both Baklava flavors together to create the whole for a complete experience of a piece of Baklava, a reasonable possibility. I think this is an experiment worth experimenting with.
White Chocolate:…Not being a white chocolate fan, I expected a bland combination of weak tasting chocolate with a slight hint of vanilla…What I tasted was more of a creamy chocolate which was light, and there did seem to be a slight vanilla ingredient, but there also appeared a faint spicy hint, which is indescribable… As my tank warmed up, the creaminess increased and became more smooth and the chocolate (though still light) did become a bit more pronounced…and with no waxy over or undertones which was another expectation I had…A pleasant surprise
Sweet Potato:… This flavor is the one that I most looked forward to vaping based on its’ smell from the container…and was not disappointed…The flavor tops this list of flavors for its’ uniqueness in vape flavor experience…An accurate representation of a sweet potato served at the table with a drizzle of sweet sauce for dinner…The most bold flavor of the collection…Would blend excellently with marshmallow and perhaps a small amount of butter…Perhaps a bit of the cranberry that gets picked up by your fork, alongside the sweet potato while we eat at Thanksgiving…
Overall, these Flavors are definitely a departure from “Run of the mill” flavor profiles in the DIY mixing environment…They are mild flavors, however,and most of them tend to be focused on 1 flavor experience, without a lot of layers of complexity…That said, I believe that in order to get the most from them, one will need to be creative in effective pairing of 2 or more flavors to create some very interesting and unique vape profiles…And given the vast array of flavors that Real Flavors is releasing, I believe that some beautiful, and unique vape experiences can be created…
Still have my list of flavors I wanted to try, will love to customize my sampler pack! I will keep my eyes peeled for when you update us that’s it’s ready. To clarify, I can order custard, butterscotch pudding, bread pudding, and cream cheese in my sampler? I don’t have to stick to the bakery category or fruit? And yes, I expect to pay for my sampler pack, not talking about beta. Although, there were a couple of those I wanted to try. Will we have the option of adding the beta flavors to the pack we pay for as well if we are willing? Thanks so much!
