So…here’s what I bought from Flavor West…someone (ringling) lol, look over what I have and tell me what I’m missing?
What flavors am I missing or should I pick up? I’ve tried to find correct percentage tables for mixing, but only came across this %'s and it’s not too complete. I know I’m missing some important flavors for mixing and need some help. Flavor West doesn’t provide much info (if any) about their flavors on their site. Any suggestions?

So…what am I missing that I definitely need to get?
I make my own tobacco flavor out of cigars (since it’s so expensive)
What should I substitute with another vendor?
I know it’s a lot…just wanted to have what I needed when the time came…RUN IT!
So, how’s your experience with doing NET? I’ve been wanting to give it a go, but just haven’t taken the plunge. 2 to 6 week maceration? cold/hot? I’d be interested to hear your process.
You need Marshmallow (UNTOASTED) for sweetening. Do not use Cotton Candy for sweetening since it fades flavors over time. Hazelnut as Alisa says and I recommend FWs natural Blackberry…
I made the mistake of buying MB concentrates only to see the exact flavors (sometimes the exact picture haha) on FWs site. I was like "cool I can make 100 ml for the same price as a 15ml juice on my baker. Now I’m like "shit I could have made 400 ml for the same price if I go directly through fw
For a while I thought MBV was using FW as well but after speaking to them at great lengths they convinced me they do not repackage and sell FW as their own. So I proceeded to speak to him about how it was possible to make their own flavoring given that is a huge operation and I didn’t think they had a facility set up for that sort of thing for which he replied;
“Unfortunately I cannot give out any information regarding our flavorings or where we purchase them from as it is proprietary information.”
So its obvious they do purchase them from somewhere, although I’m not totally convinced they use 100% straight FW flavorings and I actually have multiple exact same flavorings from both FW and MBV and I do taste a slight difference…maybe they dillute FW with another flavoring? Or its something entirely different? I fear we will never know for certain but the two are definitely comparable as far as %s go…
Couldn’t agree more, which is a shame because their shipping is so damn fast! I get my orders within 72 hours with MBV unlike other companies like wizard labs that take about a week
I have also noticed that MBV’s has that candy/capella taste to some of theirs which I can’t stand:-(
I just got some of their sweet cream because I was out and I had some other things to get from them anyways and boy was it strong! Even at 2% it completely took over my mix with a stomach turning creamish flavor…live and learn though that’s what its about
I could swear it’s something with those bottles too. I’m not saying it helps I think in the long run it hurts and they turn nasty or something. Sorry bout your batch.
Thankfully I havent run into that problem yet but then again what I have isn’t that old.
And yeah I wasnt to happy about that batch because like an idiot I made a couple 30ml bottle of a few of my advs thinking it would be fine…its only 2% right…wrong! The second I opened the bottle and got smacked with that rancid cream smell my heart sunk haha It was like I put over 15%!
Ive tried everything actually…I even made another batch but omitted the cream to cut it in half at least and it did nothing! Its the strangest thing?! Almost like they used flavor molecules that were past their use by date haha
I hear ya. Their moo juice is a flavor that has an essence of that. Maybe it’s a thick heavy cream they are adding. I know what your saying. Maybe add an ml of VG and a couple drops of DW ?
Yeah I’ll play around with it some more today…its almost turned me off of creams for a second because I can now faintly taste it in my CAP/TFA’s from tasting that crap so much!
Thanks for your suggestions!
