Obscure brands of flavor concentrate

If you like tfa go for it. That’s basically what I have been comparing it to as far as strength. The butterscotch pie was pretty good. So was the vanilla Tahiti and strawberry one I got. The strawberry was a good ripe strawberry flavor jusr not strong enough for my liking. Chocolate chunks was not so good. It has that tfa fake chocolate taste to me.

Just recently picked up 2 bickford flavors and I will not be buying them again.

Black walnut- very weak but not a bad flavor. I’d say weaker than tfa.

Burnt sugar- terrible. I have no idea how they got burnt sugar out of this. The flavor is as dark (black) as you can get and there is little to no flavor at all!

I did a lemonade with Flavour monks lemon, tasted like Pledge wood polish. but it was really cloudy
I was actually tempted to bottle it as ‘Baby Gravy’ just for S&G

There’s also a ‘wood polishing’ joke in there somewhere I’m sure… :laughing:

Really enjoying from my recent flavor orders:
FLV Cocoon - caramel apple. I’m adding it to RF Apple. Sometimes with some donut or waffle.
River flavors - Heaven - donut with strawberry filling. Very, very nice. Trying it by it’self.
River flavors - Kalanka - a mixed fruit with some kick, maybe slight anise.
FA Metaphore - lemon curd cake I will definitely buy again. I’ve added it to my peach custard mix and to my lemon custard mix and it is wonderful.
Real Flavors - Apple is the best apple I’ve found among about 5 brands. It’s got a little tartness and nothing weird about it. Just very good apple. The strength is amazing for the price. I haven’t figured out the RF Baklava yet. I’m enjoying it, but I don’t yet know what to add to it. I’m going to try using it like I would a custard and see what I can do.
FLV Strawberry Smash is terrible. Or it has been when I add it to anything or vape it alone.

0.25% Liquid Stevia (Pyure)

replaced vg baklava with raw version - and replaced sweetener with pyure

Edit to add: The Baklava SC really needs to steep at least a month for me. Early on the spice notes overpower the pastry/dough notes.

AmorettI Egyptian Jasmine is completely irreplaceable. It’s very much like high end Egyptian chamomile tea. It’s floral and earthy…and somnetic. It’s like aroma therapy.

Amoretti Cherimoya is solid, it’s close to Inawera, but not as good.

Amoretti Guanabana is like vaping super glue fumes. It’s the worst flavor I’ve ever encountered…by far.

Amoretti Prickly Pear Cactus Blossom is very similar to the trump-fist-sized fruits I get while in Turkey. I was expecting a floral with this one, but it is definitely flavored like that fruit. It’s a light, light fruited honey. It’s a moist sort of flavor like cactus inw, but definitely quite different.

Yes, oil and water soluble. Obviously you don’t vape the oils, hell someone on here was sent a paste. So be careful, always best to put a few drops in a shot glass of water. There is a thread on these.

Yeah, when you mix these youd need max kyj to your nether orifi if you were to pay that price. But it is a very large bottle. They are perhaps between tpa and cap on strength. That said, I don’t know anyone that did not get them as samples. Again, the contact info, if still active, is in that thread which I would link you to were I not, as always, on a phone. They were releasing several new WS concentrates after I called I was told.

I think they are pretty much testing the market. If all their flavors were like that Jasmine…they might be worth the money even. But if I paid $60 for that guanabana…I would have been irate.

Edit: some are as weak as VG RF. (10-12%)

10-12%! Hughh (scratches head) odd because they range from 20-60$ per 2oz! Was hoping they would be sonewhere between MF and RF SCE in strength. Ill probably still order a few of the Amoretti extracts before the17th of Jan using the 35% off coupon Jolly35. I can feel the itch already lol i need to scratch it.

Caramel apple with waffle…YUM! :smiley:

I highly advise you read the Amoretti thread and flavor notes before taking out a second mortgage on the flavors. At 35% off…still, just ouchie. That Jasmine, is definitely a keeper if you like earthy floral type flavors IMO. There were a couple different strengths of it and I asked for the strongest. . .and I do not think they have SDS sheets on their flavors, but I could be wrong.

One of the watermelons smelled sorta like acetone. I think it was the sweet not sure at this point. TBH I just don’t remember. lol

I have some experience with this one. Keep this around 2-3% in mixes because it will get floral at higher%

Viper Flavors anyone? K so these are quite cheap and percentages needed are on the higher side

Sponge cake 12% 4 stars(5 if it were stronger) just like a twinkie filling and all
Birthday Cake 12% 3 stars. Flavor is great after two weeks but then begins to fade
Yellow cake 6% 4 stars pretty good clean yellow cake flavor.
Cream cheese Icing 3% mixer. 3 stars.Not as strong as LOR but not as sickly sweet either.
Cobbler 3% 4 stars. Adds nice buttery cooked brown sugar aspect to pie or cobbler recipes
Banana Bread 0stars Black! Darkest concentrate ive ever recieved, caramel colour? Useless
Pancake 3% 3 stars, strong flavor heavy on syrup light pancake flavor needs supporting bakery flavors. Bold flavor tho holds strength well
Sugar Cookie 0 stars ewww dirty odd taste and smell
Cake batter 6% 3 stars not bad
