Real Flavors Super Concentrates Tasting Notes (Part 1)

Iā€™ve got another question about mixing with these. Thereā€™s way to many posts to look through. Itā€™s simple enough one. Hot water bath/any heat to aid with mixing, yea or nay?

You may want to try lower percents for RF SC. I have never went over 3.5% total for an RF SC single flavor or recipe. The recommended percents are 1 - 2.5%, but I think they used to suggest up to 3.5%.

I would try this at 2.5% RF and 2% CAP. With this 2 flavor recipe the math is easy: 5:2 = 2.5:1

For more complex recipes like the other one or multiple flavor recipes I use - http://www.e-liquid-scripts.com/cosmiccalc

Input all the flavors to get your RF SC percents and ignore the adjusted non-RF flavors and go with your preferred percentage of that flavor like this:

So Blue Raz at 2.5 and Whipped Cream at your original 2%.

I never go above 3.5% total though I have been curious to try some at higher percents as I see some go much higher than I wouldā€¦ Then I see this post and reconsider:

nay imho. I donā€™t think I have ever given these hot water baths. I only did that when I got my first few non-RF flavor orders. Now that I have a few liters of steeped juice I just let time do the steeping in the dark, cool cabinet.

Like I said, 5% was about perfect in that 4 day steep. What I like about these flavors is I will be able to mentholate and mint the crap out of this stuff and it will still be smooth as silk. Iā€™m gonna drop some mint in the Blue Raz tester today. Mint and menthol permeate VG quick. This is nice stuff!

Ah, now that neatly explains the alcoholic content, even if it blows my mindā€¦ :smiley:
But it still leaves the main question: what is the carrier made up of?

I appreciate itā€™s got a low alcohol level to help suspend the raw flavor extract and thatā€™s not normally necessary in pg so Iā€™m guessing itā€™s more likely to be pdo.

(Iā€™m not after any trade secrets - the reason Iā€™m asking is primarily to advise folks with pg intolerances but also to help those who try to mix by weight using specific gravities get at least fairly close to the likely density.)

You know I suppose if I let this steep it could go to 3.5% but I wanted to see what was going to happen short term. At 5% there is good flavor with absolutely nothing unpleasant going on. What I mean by unpleasant is that ā€œyuckā€ thing you get when you use too much flavor. @Walt_RealFlavors

Thereā€™s alcohol in these Super Concentrates so you really cant just shake and vape this stuff, that alcohol has to gas off. Iā€™m totally happy with the result and in fact itā€™s the first raspberry I have been able to vape in very long time.

It is very rarely PG, if it is, it is a very small amount (under 1%). I think that is only in 2 flavors as well.

The liquid you see is a mix of VG, PDO, or a different carrier like distilled water. (with the 3% alc in that), that is what Alcohol base is. We are working on getting the specific gravity listed on ALL flavors soon :smiley:

Brilliant, thanks Walt.

I suspect Iā€™ll be cut ā€˜nā€™ pasting that phrase a lot over the coming weeks as the first super-concentrates hit the UK a few days agoā€¦

A couple more orders and I can give @woftam a run for the money for most RF SC flavors in their stash.

Wowā€¦must be nice to have that kind of vape budget. I can afford 2-3 at a time. Iā€™m waiting until that Rice Pudding gets released so I only have to pay shipping once. But thatā€™s okā€¦you can be the pack leader and give us flavor reports and a starting point :wink:

Thank you for all the helpful hints.

lol, my credit card balance is already obscene so I figured another $130 wonā€™t make that much of a difference at this point. I believe that gives me 60 of the SC flavors now.

look at you i have 30 i believe , that was just one order of 24 and the 6 for just shipping , i havent had time to test yet but come Monday ill be testing like crazy , im just happy they dont have the amount TpA or Cap has that would be tough to get the entire line at that point ā€¦ i hope i enjoy them as much as you seem to

I have to admit Iā€™m well impressed so far, theyā€™re so cheap too, 30ml would be less that Ā£5ā€¦and you have to use so little, AND they taste so niceā€¦bit of a no brainer :ok_hand:

that seems super cheap it cost 7$ for 30ml direct from RF of course there is an additional 10pct off but still , that price seems in line with the VG prices btw what does the 5 equal in usd
