I’m assuming you’re referring to the original version? (are you aware that they reformulated their chocolate line? Have you tried the new variations? From what little I’ve read on them, they’re not being received well so far. So I’m already a little concerned.)

If you dont already have it get RF chocolate. I use the VG version as it is plenty strong for my tastes. As with any flavor support is helpful my go to flavor to soften is OOO milky undertone paired with a cream or two. I use LBs creams. A replacement or even improvement up INW chocolate cream may look like this
RF VG chocolate 2%
Ooo milky undertone 2%
LB fresh cream 0.5%
LB cream 0.5%
FLV milk 0.17%

Something I’ll keep in mind (since you say you’re able to use it at 2%). Especially since Ina threw a wrench in my chocolate works…
I’ve not had a good experience with RF’s VG flavor line thus far (due to the percentages required, the cost isn’t justifiable IMO) though those experiences were *very" limited. Their vg flavors are often excellent, but sadly don’t fall into place for me.
Generally speaking, if I can’t get a “full flavor” using 6% or less, then that flavor (or line) is not for me. (the ones I tried in the vg line seemed to fall in the 8-10% category, or higher)

I agree many of the VG line are flops but for myself if 8-12% of any flavor produces a one shot or at least an 80% close to a one shot, then i am satisfied. RF VG bread pudding is one example. Some of the VG are plenty strong though the cream cheese (only smelled so far) cleared the sinuses quite well and i imagine their VG cheesecake to be similarly strong as the SC almost needs a dilution…

Yes I do, but I thought it was only their Milk Chocolate that was reformulated.

Seems the chocolate cream is unchanged then.

Yup according to the list - but with no way to know if they have changed it (since there was no relabel) or if the list is accurate the only real way will be to test and see. If it used the same component as the MC (which I have no idea if it did or didnt) any reformulated version will be much darker than the original.

Seems being the operative word…
I’d be more inclined to believe it’s an accidental omission. Given the basic “chocolate” is affected, I’d assume (dangerous, I know. lol) that they use the same source for all chocolates. YMMV of course.

I am so sorry for my ignorance but, what do you mean by Flavor stones?

Flavor stones are essentially creating new flavor. For instance, let’s say you like a recipe that has 2% cream and 2% strawberry. You would mix those two flavors together, 50% of each to equal 100%. Then you could use that stone (which is now your strawberry cream “flavor”) in a mix at 4%.
If you go to a recipe and click the little blue wrench button, it will give you the option of making it into a “one-shot/concentrate” which is the same as a stone. Stones are also popular for adding in a specific component of a recipe, say a milk stone. You would create a stone/one-shot/concentrate with the different flavors that when combined taste like milk, and then add that stone to a recipe that you want milk in.

Oh I see… Thanks that was very clear explanation!
@Josephine_van_Rijn I did read the hole threat and also that specific post but, I didn’t got it until @VapeyMama explained the part: “If you go to a recipe and click the little blue wrench button, it will give you the option of making it into a “one-shot/concentrate”” That made it clear.
Thanks a lot, it is so interesting to learn from you!!

Now you have woke up my curiosity… Lets see:
Would Flavor Stones make shorter the stepping time once you mix them with your decided PG/VG choice?
I am wondering this because it makes sense when you buy different flavors to make them into stones, since it will make easy the conservation without air of those liquids in full 10ml bottles f.e. and at the same time the flavor blending between them.

No. Steeping is more about blending the flavors/nic into the vg.
Having stones ready to go, is just a nice convenience for things you mix frequently.

Thanks… Still makes a lot of good sense to make faster the whole process to craft those mixes.
I am loving this!

Just remember, shake each flavor before you measure. This is twice as important for stones in my opinion.
