Ok, another question yâall. If Super Concentrated is the same as Flavor Express, then why does DIYCanada list them as 2 separate flavor name categories?

Just to add to the confusionâŚ.

No wonder you accurately coined it as a Cluster Fvck.

Easiest way: when the name is specific (like âMad Fruitâ or âGolden Mangoâ), then search by the name only (no brand) and youâll (usually) be able to find your flavor.
When the name is not very specific (like âLemonâ or âMangoâ) then this obviously doesnât work and youâll have to add a brand too. Two choices are most common (FE) or (SC). If this still doesnât work, then try with whatever is written on your bottle.
If the flavor is still not shown and you have it, then add it on your own - preferably using (FE) or (SC) as a brand. (see how other flavors of this same brand are written to prevent further confusion of others later)
If you donât have this flavor yet and just want to search for more info about it, then forget about it and move on. Itâs clear noone is using this flavor (itâs that bad) and even noone bothered to enter it yet in the database (itâs that bad). You saved some money at least, so thatâs cool.
.
Why all this confusion? All these flavors are rebottled and the manufacturer did not give a permission to sell those flavors under their own brand name, so rebottlers have to make their own name; thatâs why we have so many different names for same flavors (every re-bottler is using their own name/brand).
FE / (SC) / (SC) (VZ) (or originally some Chinese manufacturer) is not the only one using this policy - LA, FA, MF, CCW, Reka, and many others are all following the same policy, but since more popular brands, most vapers already know that and thereâs not so much confusion involved.
Itâs not ELRâs fault for this confusion; ELR canât help in any way here (well, except to write in BOLD in flavor reviews to inform vapers what brand that actually is - just like they do regarding DAAP or other nasties).
Golden rule about unknown flavors of obscure brands: Thereâs a reason why they are not popular / why thereâs so difficult to find any info about them = they are not worth your time and money. Skip them or if youâre adventurous, be prepared for a bumpy ride without any navigation (and noone will be able to help you later with your recipes or try them / mix them).
