Real Flavors Super Concentrates Tasting Notes (Part 1)

Adding to my calculator to try later this month but I will have to sub strawberry or apple for the yumberry.

6 more single flavors made today for testing:

Strawberry @ 1.5%
White Chocolate @ 0.7%
Shortbread Cookie @ 1.5%
Oatmeal Cookie @ 2%
Butter Toffee @ 1.5%
Cookies & Cream @ 2.5%

All 6 of the above smelled spot on other than the Oatmeal Cookie. It didnā€™t smell bad, just not very strong or quite what I expected. We will have to see how she vapes in a week or four.

Havenā€™t revisited the first 6 I made yet since the day after but it hasnā€™t even been a full week yet so I will probably give them a test sometime this upcoming week.

Have you ever tried a finger taste after you mix them up? I sometimes can tell a lot just by a small drop of juice.

I found oatmeal cookie sc to be very good even after a 30 day steep at low %. It holds its own and does very well in mixes

Itā€™s one of my favorites from this raw extracts line.

Not usually but might give that a try when I go back down stairs in an hour to cap them. The first 6 I didnā€™t let breathe any extra after mixing but decided to let these ones breath a little bit.

Good to hear that you both like that one as that is my fave type of real cookie so I had high hopes for it.

Now I need to free up some more 30ml testers bottles. I have 3 I just emptied by mixing all tester recipes together in a big dropper bottle and have 5 more tester recipes down there from 24Nov to vape on or rebottle/mix into plastic before I can do more RF testing. Donā€™t think I have enough 30ml glass bottles to have all 24 of my new flavors being tested at the same time unfortunately so the first 6 I made last week will have to be vaped and/or rebottled before I can test the final batch of flavors from this order.

So, is there anywhere to get RF Extracts in smaller quantities?

I am sure I will blow through a whole ounce once find a good flavor, but until then is there anywhere else where I may purchase their line?

Definitely have my eye on a dozen or so. I guess 8$ isnā€™t that much, but then while I am there, I might as well buy a few more, and we know how that endsā€¦

You can buy the VG flavors at a few sites in smaller bottles but I am not aware of any site that sells the SC/Extracts in less than one ounce sizes. 30ml of extracts goes a long way.

DIY eJuice just started to carry them but they are in Canada :confused: No reseller as of now is carrying these in the US besides Walmart.

Walmart?? Wow! Iā€™m not too worried about it, RF seems quality enough that getting a hold of it wont bother me.

Really cool to see someone from the company responding. Seriously respectable.

I just saw this on the recipe side and favorited it so I can make it laterā€¦I was reading the notes you put with it and I totally agree on all points you made about the way you were thinking for each flavorā€¦I think this looks like a really good recipe and I am going to mix it up very soonā€¦I have 15 new RF SC extracts to play with but havenā€™t had the time yet because of school, but as soon as I do itā€™s on!!!

I also agree with @Fozzy71 about subbing the Yumberry for Strawberry (RF) (SC) or something else, this seems as though it may be a very versatile recipe and I think it would be delicious with the SB as well!!!

Iā€™ve just given three a try (condensed milk, white choc and yumberry) after 48 hours - not getting much from them (@ 2% 70VG/30PG) yet so gonna bung them back in the steeping cupboard and try again in a week.

Does make me wonder whether @juice_junkie_lover is onto something about these % ratios - look forward to seeing how you get on with the lower % sftā€™s :smile:

Thank you , I would love to hear your thoughts when you get it mixed up.This is a crazy hobby/lifestyle we find ourselves involved in.We have lots of flavors available from a multitude of places but yet just about all the manufacturers are a little timid when it comes to using their products for obvious reasons.We the end user are responsible for determining the exact quantities used.This does make our journey both exciting and somewhat frustrating when we are dealing with new flavors and recipe development.

I did mix the Filthy Fritter recipe up last night and I must admit I am very excited about the results thus far.I mixed up a 120ml batch so I would have plenty to experiment with if needed.I was surprised by the flavor after only a few hours , the fried doughnut profile is coming through very well .The Vanilla Custard/ icing aspect as well as the Yumberry / fruit filling is a little light but it is present even now and more importantly it is a very pleasant vape.

I was really expecting a much harsher taste this in this early stage of development , I am so glad that I was wrong about that!:grinning:

Just filled my tank with my sample and itā€™s smooth! Iā€™m def getting some yumberry fruitiness with icing, not getting the fried Dough aspect much yetā€¦but yes I do believe this is going to be a winner @BoyHowdy :+1:

And I struggled to get much from 2% yumberry so maybe lower is the raw futureā€¦exciting stuff :smiley:

Just noticed yours has had the benefit of usc so I am excited to see what a few more days steeping does to mine (which only had a good shaking) :blush:

I have found the same to be true with my steeped mix of your Strawberry Shake v2. The strawberry aroma still exists some in the bottle but upon vape itā€™s goneā€¦not a tiny whisper of sb flavor. This happened some time in the last 10 days or soā€¦the mix is 5 weeks old. You may be right about the cake batter muting it. I know I had a month old single flavor of this sb and it was very tasty by itself.

The two biggest tricks or tips I have had when mixing RF VG flavors is to shake them well before mixing and to use a little bit of heat after mixing. I havenā€™t experimented with the new SC flavorā€™s enough to know if it helps or not but I am going to continue to do this until I find out otherwise.
I have heard several report that they like to let them breathe as well? I was leaning towards doing that until I tried the mix after 12 hours.I didnā€™t find it harsh at all so I elected to not let it breathe

I was aiming for a fried fritter with a jam type filling with this mix , nothing really fruity but more of a jelly type fruit sweetness.Similar to a jelly filled doughnut but with more of a fried type dough.
It is still way early to call it a winner by any stretch but I have been vaping this off and on all day and I am rather happy with the results.
I am always looking for nice and simple shake and vape type flavors.It isnā€™t no where near the complexity of some of the other donut mixes that I enjoy , perfect example is @Amy2 Cronut mix , but if we can achieve a good vape without having to wait 2-4 weeks that is a very good thing IMO.:yum:

That really sucks. I have 240 mls of it. Iā€™m going to try a small tester of it with peppermint and mint to see if I can flip to a peppermint shake. Those 2 strong flavors should hold up.

Oatmeal Cookie: I got the VG in a beta tester and loved it, making it more concentrated made it one of my new favorites. As @Pro_Vapes said this is a nice freshly baked oatmeal cookie and it will be very versatile as the cookie isnt overpowering.

Strawberry: I havent vaped this yet but the smell is lovely, hints of ripe berry right out of the bottle. Finger test said i am going to love this. Ill get back with vaping results.

Peach: Fan-freakin-tastic Peach, very nice yellow peach flavor and smell, makes the mouth water a tiny bit. I have mixed a couple single but jumped right in mixing recipes, all of the finger tests have been excellent.

Im going to hold off on starting percentages until i run through the single flavor testers.

Would i buy these again? You did read what i wrote, right? :slight_smile:

EDIT: I grabbed a few new ones:

Eggnog
Molasses
Sweet Potato
Peanut Butter

Ill report back on those as well.
