Flavorah Tasting Notes

Does anyone have anymore recent notes on other flv tobacco flavors? I just tried Connecticut shade for the first time this weekend and I immediately was in love! It reminds me of a coffee, chocolate, caramel pipe tobacco! Just recently I’ve been playing around with tobacco vapes. For years I couldn’t even think about trying to mix or vape a tobacco flavor! I’ve been reading over different post the forum as well! @Kinnikinnick you seem to be the leaf expert :smile:

Well, @juice_junkie_lover … I have put all of my synthetic concentrates out to pasture for the long haul. My solace for tobacco juices would be 100% NET, which I produce myself.

If you’re looking for some really good Flavorah tobacco tasting notes… u/T_Mace on the Reddit has a gaggle of them listed. I jump over there every now and again to catch up on the r/diytobaccoejuice thread and to read T_Mace’s reviews… he does a bang up job of describing the concentrate. :wink:

I am confused as to what exactly this is…

I guess someone put a page together with flavorah flavors, notes on each flavor, and recipes to go with that flavor. I thought it was interesting. Any thoughts?

Has anyone been brave enough to try FLV Dragonfruit? It seems everyone has defaulted to using TFA’s version.

I have.
3% (SnV - tart and a little earthy. 1 week - still slightly tart, but not as earthy. Kinda weak now. 2 weeks - same. Slightly tart, but feels like it has lost a lot of flavor. 3 weeks - about the same as two. Slightly tart and earthy. 4 weeks - same. A little on the weak side, has mellowed quite a bit, but not a bad flavor overall.)

Surprised to see that no one has mentioned FLV’s Marshmallow, yet.

Testing singles of both PUR and FLV Marshmallow, going to see how they stack up. Both smell promising and after not having any luck with CAP, FA, or LA Marshmallow, I am hoping one of these will land a permanent spot in my stash.

what exactly are you looking for when it comes to marshmallow

The soft type of marshmallow, though FLV seems to be the kind that comes in cereal so far.

I think you will like it. To me it’s like a marshmallow cream. I should use it more but don’t remember it most of the time when creating.

Boysenberry FLV

Mixed 6-16-2017
(one tester at 2% and another at 3%, based on the review by u/ConcreteRiver @Reddit)

My thoughts…
Sadly, a bit disappointing after what I’ve read on the forums, and reviews on Reddit. I was really hoping for a strong Boysenberry syrup or jam flavor @ 3% (as stated by the review on Reddit). It’s got overtones that lean that direction, but far from solidly securing that objective. I also didn’t get the sweet notes that CR mentioned in the review. Though when I think sweet, I think Cap Sweet Strawberry as my point of reference.

It’s a really solid flavor though, but seems to be very temp sensitive (max of ~36w) and if I go much beyond that, it’s not what I’d describe as burning, but the flavor definitely shifts into a much less pleasant direction. At 2%, it seemed a bit more forgiving on the temp issue (tested up to 42w before starting to notice the shift), but it wasn’t quite as “present” as I had wanted.

Initial impressions are less than ideal, considering the price and the percentage requirement to maintain the flavor profile I’m looking for.

The actual flavor components are good, a bit of twang on the back side of a ripe berry, but just doesn’t fit the profile I’m looking for. It’s a bit “light and airy” while what I’m looking for is heavier and syrupy without reaching Cap S.SB sweetness.

Glad that I tried it though. And perhaps with some more time under the belt, or possibly another boysenberry as the lead, I’ll be able to achieve my goal. Either way, I can see potential for this. Better than average, but just not “there”

Great write up, did you find it floral at all? It doesn’t smell floral, but every recipe I put it into turns super floral and it took me a while to nail down Boysenberry as the culprit. From everything I had read, I too assumed it would be very jammy, syrupy and sweet. It tastes like that at first, but after a steep, it turns quite floral.
