Thanks for the reply! I haven’t tried any of those! I have quite a few of the SC and like most of them. Really, the Cheesecake is the only one I don’t like. Thought I did in the beginning, but my taste finally caught up with the consensus. Still haven’t had any harsh hits from any. Sorry to see you’re sensitive to them, but glad you can steep it out!

It’s ok, I seem to get a little harshness from a lot of Different flavors, mostly fruits. i have learned to work around it by adding things to fruit to mellow it out, like creams and for some reason candy flavors like tfa sweet & tart seem to take the edge off without a long steep. It works out though, if I’m vaping fruit I want it to be creamy or candy anyway lol. The rf sc chocolate milkshake has a lot of potential, so far I have only tested it in the 30-45 watt range, this week it will get dripped on some 70w+ setups, but as of my current tests it tastes like the Hershey syrup that came in the can, idk if you can even buy that kind anymore lol not really a milkshake but a great chocolate flavor. I have liked the majority of the rfsc flavors I have tried, and the soda base is quickly becoming part of every fruit and candy mix I make. The aged bourbon creme is glorious, I made a custard recipe built around it lol and I’m working on one with fa oak wood and the aged bourbon creme with a lil toasted marshmallow.

French Toast Black Label (SC) (Real Flavors) 3% (5-25-18) – Was a huge fan of the original RF SC French Toast v.1 so when I heard about a new Black Label, had to try it. This is an improvement on the v.1, as you immediately hit with a delicious buttery bakery-ness that the original didn’t have. This is followed up by some egg as well as some maple syrup. There might be a smidge of cinnamon on the end note, and if so, very subtle. Having been asked quite a bit how this one is different from the v.1 the easiest comparison would be more bread, egg, and bakery. This doesn’t mean the v.1 is better or worse, but different. Haven’t steeped this one yet, so these are all fresh mixed results. Steeping results will be added if noteworthy. With the increased butter, bread, and egg, this one (like the v.1 SC flavor) just seems like a winner all the way around. The maple syrup is in there, with maybe a touch of cinnamon, which just works really well, as a blended masterpiece. There was mention that this had the RF SC Black Label Vanilla in it, and although I cannot pick it out, means it is craftily layered into the mix. 10/10 on this one. If you liked the RF SC v.1 French Toast, you will love this one.

Thanks for the notes! I didnt like the regular french toast but maybe i’ll go back and try a different % than whatever i tried.
Was wondering if anyone had tried any of the other black labels they put up recently? Holiday Pie, Banana Cream Pie, Ripe Banana, madagascar Vanilla, Blue Hawaiian, Blue Raz…
Theyre selling them in $3.99 10ml bottles so i might just try a couple blind! Would have used whatever the latest correct rf thread is but theres so many, lol

My OP thread won’t allow any further adds due to it’s size. Continuing…
Sugar Cub SC @ 2.5% (6-4-17) – 2 weeks steeping to find out if you can stuff animal crackers into a bottle. RF calls them cinnamon graham cracker cookies, but I’m getting a FULL ON animal crackers. I know the RF SC Graham and it MIGHT be in there, but it’s such a nice, even mix, I’m not getting any standout flavors in front, not getting any cinnamon either. With that said, this is delicious. Sweet, some cream, vanilla, and cookie. Surely seems almost exactly animal crackers. This one’s going to be hard to nail to a value, as for a Sugar Cub I think animal crackers, but their description says cinnamon graham which I am not getting. Think I’m going to go with the name and rate this at a 9/10. If you are needing cinnamon / graham, it’s not really here, but if you can a delicious animal cracker (cookie) flavor, it is, in spades.
Cherry Limeade SC @ 2.5% (6-4-17) – I’m a huge fan of Sonic’s Cherry Limeade, so waited 2 weeks to see if this would fill the bill. Unlike most CL’s I’ve drank where the cherry soda is the star, that wasn’t the case. The lime was far more forward, and if there was a cherry it was buried. Somewhat sweet, but not what you’d expect from a drink flavor. It wasn’t bitter, but the lime was pushing towards that direction. Nice and limey, but really wasn’t picking up on the cherry or cherry soda sweetness. Maybe better description might have been “somewhat sweet limeade with …”. Going 4/10 on this one.
Chocolate Hazelnut Spread SC @ 2.5% (6-4-17) – 2 weeks was HARD to wait to try this one, as it smells very good in the bottle. Great news is, it tastes even BETTER when vaping it !!! Very rich and full chocolate with sweetness on the inhale, and the hazelnut joins that on the exhale. Damn near perfect pairing of choco and hazel, with probably choco being a little stronger than the hazel, but a really good balancing. Would be very curious to see what @Alisa thinks as she is the Hazel Goddess. Vaping and typing here, the delicious rich inhale cannot be understated with this one. I think RF has another WINNER here. Easy 10/10.
Cherry SC @ 2.5% (6-7-17) – Don’t think I’ve tried a cherry I like yet (haven’t tried the INW cherries yet). Must be a hard flavor to make (right) or everyone would be doing it. 2 weeks of waiting, JUST to see. This one is a hard one to nail down. First things first, the bad. It really doesn’t hit me as a cherry. Smelling it it smells like maybe a somewhat rainier maybe ? It doesn’t vape like one. It’s somewhat sweet, but with some tartness, and sometimes if you repeat hit it, it kinda tastes like cherry, but I’m almost getting cranapple at times ?? WTF is this ??? I’m repeat vaping while typing this. The inhale is a sweet fruit like feel/taste and it WANTS to be a big cherry on the exhale, but it’s just not there. You shouldn’t have to WORK IT to make it happen. Surely could be used in a cherry base mix for sure. The good, well it’s NOT chemically, or artificial tasting, and NO cough syrup here, but I just don’t get that overwhelming YES CHERRY from it. It’s in there somewhere, and it peeks out time and again, but the cherry doesn’t own this flavor. Mixer, definitely, maybe boost one or more cherries, sure, but as the just can’t see it as the one taking the cherry to the finish line. Super hard to rate. Purge, vape, purge, vape. Going to roll with a 3.5/10 here guys. Suuuure with this one vaped like it smelled.
Grape SC @ 2.5% (6-7-17) – Have not had the best luck with grapes, so had 2 weeks to think about this one. After a few vapes, I think I like this. Pretty damned nice grape. Doesn’t seem to be a straight white, or purple grape, but more of a concord, and pretty close to a Grape Nehi soda. Very nice, full, and sweet @ 2.5% and still vaping it revealed NO offputting flavors, or artificial tastes to it. The more I vape it, the better it gets. Hmmmm, I think this is a pretty nice grape. Sweet and full in the inhale, and pretty close to a grape explosion on the exhale. Everyone’s “perfect” grape may be different, but this one is full of grape, and right in the middle, around a concord/grape soda. Continued vaping leaves me unable to find any shortcomings on this. Very surprised. An easy 9.5/10 for me on this one.
French Toast Black Label (SC) (Real Flavors) 3% (5-25-18) – Was a huge fan of the original RF SC French Toast v.1 so when I heard about a new Black Label, had to try it. This is an improvement on the v.1, as you immediately hit with a delicious buttery bakery-ness that the original didn’t have. This is followed up by some egg as well as some maple syrup.

Haven’t steeped this one yet, so these are all fresh mixed results. Steeping results will be added if noteworthy. With the increased butter, bread, and egg, this one (like the v.1 SC flavor) just seems like a winner all the way around. The maple syrup is in there, with maybe a touch of cinnamon, which just works really well, as a blended masterpiece. There was mention that this had the RF SC Black Label Vanilla in it, and although I cannot pick it out, means it is craftily layered into the mix. 10/10 on this one. If you liked the RF SC v.1 French Toast, you will love this one.
Banana Split (SC) (Real Flavors) 3% (6-10-18) – Starting up some new testing with the BS. Tested fresh mixed and steeped, and it richens after steeping (recommended). Is quite good to say the least. Banana, ice cream, pineapple, cherry, and maybe a hint of chocolate. It has an overall sweet creaminess to it you would expect in a BS. It’s actually quite surprising that with all the present elements you can taste them all, as opposed to a mash up. 10/10. Additional Notes – After vaping yet ANOTHER 3 tanks of this lil’ gem, it became clear it reminded me of …

As always, great info. Thank you so much for your time and efforts. I ordered a couple of those new flavors along with the freebies from a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I never got it. It was sent and USPS says they delivered it, but had to be to a neighbor because I never got it. I filed a complaint and asked Real Flavors to as well, which they did immediately. Great customer service. I’ll eventually reorder. That Black Label FT was one, and the holiday pie? Have you tried that one yet?

Thank you @MysticRose and @Leilani. Sorry about the late post on the earlier ones, I had forgotten that my OP post had run out of room, and forgot to start another one up.

yeah, you describe it more accurately than they do on their site imo. i am half way thru my 30ml bottle of concentrate and I have went back to their site more than once (probably each time I mix a 100 or 200ml batch) to re-read their description because it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but I still like it a lot. I have been mixing mine at 3.5 and 4% and think I added a little stevia to my current batch.

I’m not as elegant of a writer as some… but when comparing it to liquid barn on a single flavor test
Liquid barn the only thing that sticks in my mind was this is good in a pen unit but in my mod . damn this needs a sweetener or something
The black label blue raspberry doesn’t need anything . Think I might substitute black label for liquid barn in some of the recipes I make.
Edit: hope this helps

Thanks! Everything helps, even if its just a “its good!”. Lol. Imo, all notes help, especially when theres not much written about a flavor. Your note did well enough to tell me that i should probably check it out. Thanks.

How long did you steep before testing? I made mine at 3% and tested at about the 36 hour mark, got almost no flavor from it…I think I might have trouble tasting blue raz vapes, I have tried all of them I know about except for liquid barns and the only one I have had any luck with is flavor revolution electric blue

My mix was 70/30…maybe it’s just a higher wattage flavor, I tried it on my single coil wanko rda at 40-45 watts, some flavors shine at different power levels, ill have to retest

Thanks a lot @mjag. Because I’ve done soo many flavor mini-reviews I’m always curious to hear what others think/feel/taste. Let me know what you think. I think the one take away for me (besides the fact that I liked it) was how it wasn’t a blurry slurry, the flavors did seem to be mostly identifiable to me.
