How Many Flavors (Flavours) do you have?

Always jump on offers. I’m still milking a few clearances.

FA lulo was the only must have but who wants to order just one? Unfortunately I was noticing an off note in my orange mixes and it seems I can suddenly “taste” cactus. Sadly I find I don’t like the taste so have been playing with other flavors for added juiciness for the last few months. Some have worked well with berries but not with orange in particular. WF quince jelly is great with orange and juicy but even low changes up the texture a bit. SD’s review of lulo was intriguing and fingers crossed a solution.

Like you, I find Cactus is not appealing to me. I must be over sensitive to it. Even in the smallest quantities I find it repulsive.

[Letitia]

Weird thing is I couldn’t taste it at all the first 2y I mixed. Another weird thing is I like MB cactus cupcake.

[SquirrelSmash]

I’m not a fan of cactus, except if it is used in a tequila blend. I tend to use a variety of apples and pears for juiciness, sometimes cucumber but it can get tiring after a while.

Lulo

@SessionDrummer

Lulo (FA) 2.5% (6-6-21) – I’ve never Lulo’d have you ?? With another exotic from South America, the Lulo presented as a super fresh and juicy pairing of and orange and a lime, BUT, there was something MORE going on here. There was an almost watery juicy-ness to this one, and not in a cactus sort of way, so I obsessed on it, until I could figure out how to explain it. It’s almost the watery juicy-ness you’d get from Celery. I know, I know. Now, before you go running screaming, “What the hell, celery ??!!”, it was not high up in the mix, as the orange/lime took center stage, but sure enough, there was that other element, that the best way I can describe it was like celery. It strangely help bond the two main players together, and tie the flavor together. Despite recognizing the use of cactus for it’s juicy qualities, I’ve not been able to use it because of the taste, and I’m wondering if THIS one could be used (in recipes with citrus) to impart that same juicy-ness. The flavor was laid back @ 2.5% but didn’t taste lacking, it had a certain light, and freshness to it as well. Not heavy, below mid level sweet, and almost a refreshing vape. Wow, this is now becoming a trend here with FlavourArt’s exotic fruit offerings, as this one was another wow-er, and I’m not even really a “fruit guy”. A very unique citrus with an even more unique juicy-ness is what you get. Refreshingly nice @ 9.5/10 .

@Letitia I’ll be VERY curious to hear what you think about the Lulo. I, like you, can’t do the cactus. I really got INTO the Lulo, making fo sho, that I wasn’t getting ANY cactus, and I didn’t. I can’t think of a better way to explain it, than an almost juicy celery type note.

You have to report back and let me know.

I have about 500 flavors and I use um,
besides my ADV, I usually have at least 6 others wicked up. I try to test at least one new recipe a day and have 72 new mixes steeping atm, with about 300 in queue to be mixed….

[Letitia]

FA pear and WF starfruit are my usual gotos with anything non citrus.

[Letitia]

I’m going to do a small sft at 0.3 and at 1 to see if the celery note shows up. If not I’ll mix it up in one of my regulars and see how it goes.

@Letitia I get it. You can’t order just one. It’s like potato chips. You can’t eat just one. I run into the same thing when I order traditional shaving stuff. I may only need one thing, but somehow my cart ends up with WAY more than one thing. I justify it to get free shipping. And even if they advertise free shipping as a special, it just feels wrong to have one item in an order. That poor thing would be lonely during transit. So I feel obligated to order more than one item.

@SquirrelSmash

try a few more Real Flavours.

I thought real flavours went out of business. Maybe not then, do you know?

@Sprkslfly didn’t real flavors go out of business, I thought you might know?

[mjag]

Real Flavors USA went out of business but the recipes for the flavors were sold to Real Flavours Canada.

GREAT reminder @mjag. Thank you.

Thanks, bro. I totally don’t remember that. It could be because I stopped even considering their flavors when they started doing all the weird shit but some of these recipes look good.

[mjag]

Np bro.

I am still hoping RFSC Strawberry, Strawberry Milkshake and Pineapple make a return but they have been on pre-order for the longest time

[SessionDrummer]

I wish I had big jugs of them @mjag, because I’d ship you some JUST out of principal.

[mjag]
