I am loving FA Cardamom at present.
I have been using it in a Mango Lassi (Mango Yogurt drink from India) recipe and it is stellar.
I plan on making a Chai Tea recipe with it also

Holy wow I tried Ylang Ylang today just a few min ago on my lunch breakā¦ It wasnāt a fresh wick but I had dripper some unflavored for a while before I put the ylang inā¦ So I only got a couple of puffs in but WOW that is an in your face flavor!.. I will have to get back to you with my discription of it but my first impression is a very bold wow and tastyā¦ Savory maybe?? I really look forward to playing with that flavor I could even see it being a stand alone in my arsenalā¦ It didnāt have much of a smell but man that flavor was like Pow! In your face!! Lol @Amy2 I see some further discussions coming on!!

@Amy2 so Ylang Ylang as a stand alone has a kind of soapy finish on the exhale?? Thatās kind of what I am picking upā¦ I am enjoying it right now in my dripper trying to get a feel for the flavor and a way to describe it
@Amy2 ha just read your note on it on the flavor list I agree with the calming effects and very pleasant aroma and flavorā¦ This will work wounderfully as an evening relaxing vape though I am thinking of mixing in some vanilla and creamsā¦ Stand alone I can do and I see others get that soapy taste a bit too itās not unpleasant but it is there after a week of steep timeā¦ I will probably try something with this being the main flavor and adding some complementary flavors to try to mask that soapy ish finish on the exhale

Vanilla works well as does orange, mango, you could maybe try some creams to lighten that taste. I donāt remember having that taste. I hope I never taste soap intentionally ha right ?
I prefer to steep it a while but I believe it was one I tried early out and was mystified by itās unique taste.
Donāt forget this recipe of @therabidweasel http://tjek.nu/r/2MjB fantastic Ylang Ylang vape !

So I am going to mix up that pearvana today and throw it in the cabinet lol the ylang is high in it but I do like ylang so farā¦ Wanted to update you on my ylang and vanilla expā¦ I mixed 1% ylang with 2% vanilla shishaā¦ After 5 days the ylang is Strong! Still getting that soapy after taste and not really tasting the vanilla at allā¦ Should this just steep longer or does this need some tweaking?

Try bring it down to around 0.5% youāll have to increase the batch size but you should be able to tamp down the soap and get the vanilla shisha to come through a bit more. Also you could always in corporate an additional vanilla like a classic or Vanilla tahity.
Also if you want just try Pearvana w/ ylang ylang at 0.5% that a way you donāt get the soap taste ( hopefully )

I love florals and each one brings something cool to the table. My favorite is lavender and very versatile with fruits and citrus.

Itās kinda hard to describe earthy - here is my note from ELR (Flora) woodsy musky hews use light it steeps strong. Very relaxing and pleasant aroma. Blends well with Vanilla, Bergamont, Jasmine, Chamomile,Sandalwood & Lavender.

Yup I read those notes lol I was referring to your steep time for pearvanaā¦ When does that show itās true colors?

Iām working on them trying to get a good feal for them I am trying to do my single flavor testing but getting impatient lol
Oh I believe I steeped 1 month but @therabidweasel would prob have the better idea of when itās ideal since itās been a while since I vaped it.
EDIT:
looks like I made it 12/10 & vaped it on Christmas last year 12/25 so just a few weeks. Very creamy forward the pear is acting like a cream then you get the Ylang Ylang mixed w/ Vanilla Tahity.

I designed it to be mostly SnV and I prefer to vape it as soon as the ylang gets some manners, because the pear has PHENOMENAL nuances straight out of the bottle that begin to fade immediately. About 3 days for me to 2-3 weeks are the peak flavors.
The cream kicks in as it gets beyond 3 weeks and becomes a far less nuanced fruit/caramel/cream that still aināt bad IMO. That said, it was designed to be SnV, but you have to be able to tolerate a ylang ylang tonsil hammer.
Amy and I vape very different setups but we like the same flavors. That typically means we like different proportions and Amy wonāt SnV, even if you offer to slip her money. I used to use a ton of juice and never had a chance to steep, so this is one I developed for my immediate consumption, some like it steeped better, some hate it no matter what. Hope you dig it.

Thanks for that! Well in that case time to re wick one of my setups and give this a tryā¦ I will mix it up right now and let you know what I thinkā¦ Do you do a hot bath or anything? I will probably mix this 25/75 pg/vg
Ylang Kick Punch!! wow that is deepā¦ Ylang is the most prominent flavor with just a good shakeā¦ on my subohm set up I am not really getting the other flavors stronglyā¦ there is something subtle on the exhale, I would like to taste the caramel more I am getting a little sweetness on the 3rd pullā¦ hmmm so far I think this would be an AWESOME wake up call in the AMā¦ I can get with this recipe, I would like to see how it develops if I can keep my hands off of it long enoughā¦ Thanks for the share!! and the good advice from all of you!

If you didnt cough it out SnV, you may be like me. Its a very heavy hit of ylang, i doubt anyone uses much stronger. Thanks for the feedback, i love to hear what others taste. I worked for quite awhile on this one, months. It mimics a dessert Iāve had in Turkey a couple of times.
If you havenāt singled Pear FA, do it at that percentage on a TC dripper. That flavor is insane SnV. Please give it a try, cuz I think you might like it.
