Jungle Flavor Ultimates (Part V), and One Shots Reviewed by SessionDrummer

Funny you should ask @Lynda_Marie as I actually scored them very similarly. Both were somewhat lighter than other BC’s, and the JF was cleaner, but missing some of the darker notes, BUT, had a solid Vanilla Bean aspect, while the WF which was also somewhat lighter, did have the darker notes. Maybe in the same ballpark would be accurate.

Bavarian Cream (WF) (SC) 3.5% (12-12-22) – This one smelled like it might be the most accurate Bavarian Cream I’ve tested yet, BUT, and there’s always a but. BUT, the smell didn’t fully translate into the taste. @ 3.5% it presented as a very LIGHT Bav Cream, with many of the darker, somewhat caramel-y, almost brulee type notes that some BC’s don’t have. Accurate, wispy light, and tasty. Some flavors you know you’ve under mixed, and can easily be fixed by upping the usage, but this one was just a light flavor. The vanilla was again, very accurate to a true BC, with darker overtones, but without being overpowering. Beyond the lighter taste, it didn’t impart a particular rich creamy mouthfeel. If this one tasted like it smelled we’d be in upper 9 territory, but with such a light flavor, I have to click it down a bit. All in, a very accurate BC, slightly creamy, with great darker vanilla / brulee notes. Fairly placing it at a 7/10.

Thanks! I shy away from using WF because of see the recommended % at 1%, but being that it’s a light flavor I’m thinking it’ll get lost. Well, I’m hoping this will be included in the Ultimate sample pack I got picked for. I’ll rehome the ones I already have :relieved:

Ultimate White Chocolate Mint (Jungle Flavors) 3% (11-24-24) – This, the final Ultimate flavor in this series, actually really surprised me. I’m not what you would call a fan of BOTH White Chocolate, and Mint, yet somehow, I really liked this flavor. First off, the ratios, and this is one I have struggled with when trying to make a WC and M / PM recipe. It was roughly 70% White Chocolate to 30% Mint, which surprisingly worked here, and allowed the WC to fully show through. Most WC’s I’ve tried, just don’t even taste like WC’s, but this one was better than most. Creamy, rich, good mouthfeel, and with an almost powdered milk saturation (not milk) to it, which WAS pretty Cocoa Butter-ish. The mint was a mix of both natural, and an almost syrup’d mint mix if that makes sense, which completely worked here.

At 3% it was very full, and didn’t need any increasing, and there were no off-notes to be found. While Mint(s) can often induce a cooling effect (which I can’t stand), in this flavor it was very minimal. All in, a VERY smartly ratio’d White Chocolate and Mint. The White Choco might be one of, if not THE closest that I have tested. As is always the case with the “good” ones, I blew through all of my testers before writing this. For two flavors not typically in my wheelhouse, this one impressed me, and leaving it very high, and at a 9.8/10.

@Lynda_Marie I share a lot of the same fears. I mean, just because a flavor is weaker, lighter, or thinner, doesn’t necessarily make it bad, at least solo’d, BUT, and we all know the BUT, once you start to introduce it into a mix, many CAN get completely run over.

Hats off to Jungle Flavors, as the owner reached out and felt bad about the cracked Ultimate Pineapple bottle shipped, and is going to replace it. I didn’t even contact them (I probably should have), but they read my reviews, and reached out.

Very nice, as a lot of companies would not.

Baccy Bliss (Jungle Flavors) 10% (11-28-24) – Happy Thanksgiving out to you and yours guys. Starting out with the FIRST NEW Jungle Flavors One-Shot (to me), on this Thanksgiving day. From the MFG …

Enjoy this buttery biscuit based, layered with a golden leaf baccy, rich caramel, and lucious vanilla cream.

And guess what ?? That’s EXACTLY what I got, and I mean literally. At first I was afraid it was just going to be another RY off-shoot, but this one did pull itself away from the RY pack. All 4 of the elements were there, and individually identifiable, but at the same time, they did almost meld into a completely new profile combinded. Hehe, I realize the contradiction, but it was not a blurry mash up. Now, for you bacco purists, this might not be for you, as it was somewhat sweeter, and not a pure bacco, but anyone buying this knew that in advance. The tobacco did present as a fresh cut leaf tobacco, and the buttery biscuit, seemed to favor more of a European “biscuit” than an American one, which left it being far more of a sweetened cookie, with some great buttery accents. The caramel, and vanilla cream were lower in the mix, and a lot harder to fully flush out, but still present enough to taste them.

At 10% it was nicely strong, with no need to increase, and about a 9.5/10 on the strength scale, with sweetness being about two ticks above mid-level, which did not prove to be cloyingly sweet. No off-notes, or actually any complaints with this one. On the start, the leafy, somewhat earthy tobacco was front and center, along with the buttery biscuit, and on the finish the caramel and vanilla became more noticeable. Now trying to rate or gauage a tobacco for everyone is impossible, as tastes can range from pure tobacco-ists (NET’ers), all the way down to the more “candied” RY users, so I can only do so for MY tastes. I think the inclusion of the buttery biscuit actually worked really well here to temper the somewhat earthy leaf tobacco. Not overshadow, but just temper it a bit. The vanilla and caramel, while being lower in the mix, did work to bend the overall profile. Overall, I felt it was pretty tasty, and because I’m NOT an RY4 hater, it worked for me. If you are a NET’er, well, it probably won’t be for you, hehe. All in, a tasty bacco mix, and 100% accurate to what Jungle Flavors claimed. Leaving it pretty high, with no issues or complaints, at a 9.1/10.

Pina Colada Party (Jungle Flavors) 10% (11-29-24) – What is the bare minimum for a PC ?? I’d say Coconut, Pineapple, and Rum, or at LEAST. This one had MOST of that, with a little cherry tossed in on top. From the MFG:

Our Piña Colada One Shots delivers an enticing aroma where creamy coconut and juicy pineapple are enriched by a hint of spicy rum undertones and topped with a sweet cherry garnish. Versatile and vibrant, this tropical blend is perfect for enhancing everything from cocktails and desserts to candies, bringing a touch of island paradise to any creation.

About the only element I could barely pick up on, was the rum. Sometimes I got a hint, other times not. The Pineapple, and Coconut were pretty evenly matched strength wise, and that worked pretty good. The cherry while present, was much lower in the mix. As I mention often, sometimes flavors / mixes take some time to “break in” when first testing, and this one did somewhat. The biggest change from immediate, to post break in would be the dryness from the coconut. At first it was pretty present, and almost distracting, but after the break in period, it abated quite nicely. It was still present, but not as distracting as initially. The Pineapple was juicy, yellow, and sweet, and the coocnut was much more of a dry flake, than a coconut cream. The cherry, while lower in the mix, was a sweetened Maraschino type, and did work to accent the overall mix.

At 10% it was fairly strong, and close to a 7/10 on the strength scale, and sweetness was just at about mid level, which worked with this profile. No off-notes, and no complaints, EXCEPT for, hehe, the fairly, to somewhat present dryness from the coconut. You’re personal tastes may dictate as to how big of a deal that would be or not. All in, a pretty accurate, fresh, and peppy Pina Colada, with a hint of cherry, and MAYBE, some rum. Knocking down mostly for the somewhat dry, astringent kicker on the coconut, and very light rum, and left it still fairly high at a 7.5/10.

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake (Jungle Flavors) 12.5% (11-29-24) – Mmmmmm, if you want to SKIP to the end, save some time, you can, and just GET a big bottle. OK, I have to come clean, this one is VERY similar to a recipe that I created, so this is RIGHT in my wheelhouse, so keep that in mind, when reading this review. OK, right out of the gate, crust, crust, and CRUST. Yes, crust. Often times this is overlooked, overshadowed, or just not even attempted. NOT with this one. It was front and center, realistic, with a buttery flakey-ness that didn’t quit. The cheesecake presented completely as a velvety smooth, creamy cheesecake, not to be confused with a much more aggressive N.Y. style cheesecake. No real cheese-y-ness, sour, or footy notes here, just a super smooth and tasty, creamy cheesecake. This was bent, just enough, but a light pumpkin spice. It was just light enough to spice it up, but without any overt exact spice notes, or bitterness. TBH, it was soo good, I couldn’t even TELL you if there was whipped cream on the top or not LOL.

At 12.5% it was simply perfectly strong, and I’d give it a 10/10 on the strength scale, and it did not need increased. Sweetness hovered just below mid-level, which left it in the “all day long” camp, with no over sweetened fatigue. Zero off-notes, or anything out of place, and it was just a great flavor, that didn’t quit. I’m about 100% sure, I know what they used for the crust, cheesecake filling, AND the spice, and I am going to be playing around, just to see how right I am. In closing, an almost perfect buttery, flakey crust, overflowing with a delicious velvety smooth creamy cheesecake, mixed with JUST enough spice is what this one was. As far as One-Shots, I don’t do this very often, because I’m too picky, but in this case, release the Kraken !! 10/10.

I’m going to add this to the top OG thread. I’ve had a few people inquire as to the cost. I broke down the purchase price, price per ml, and flavor cost per 30ml mix, when purchasing the One Shots across all of the offered sizes. The “sweet” spot (only if you like the One Shot LOL), is around the 500ml mark.

  • 30ml $ 8.99, $ 0.29 per ml, 3.75ml per 30ml mix, flavor cost per 30ml mix $1.09
  • 120ml $ 24.99, $ 0.21 per ml, 3.75ml per 30ml mix, flavor cost per 30ml mix $ 0.79
  • 500ml $ 79.99, $ 0.16 per ml, 3.75ml per 30ml mix, flavor cost per 30ml mix $ 0.60
  • 1000ml $ 149.99, $ 0.15 per ml, 3.75ml per 30ml mix, flavor cost per 30ml mix $ 0.56

Rose Milk (Jungle Flavors) 15% (11-29-24) – I think this is the first ever one of Wayne’s (DIY or DIE), One Shots that I’ve purchased, so breaking NEW ground here. From the MFG …

Rose Milk DIY or DIE One Shot Concentrates is the most popular in the line. Providing the taste of fresh strawberries, cream, vanilla bean ice cream, and a subtle cookie aftertaste. So many people have enjoyed this delicious recipe!

Alright, another Strawberry Cream, or something more ?? Let’s get into it !!! The initial onrush was indeed Strawberries, but they interestingly enough, leaned heavily towards a sweetened, jammed profile. Jammy, sweet, and with a hint of tart. Beneath that layer, things started to get interesting with a very smooth, and creamy vanilla cream, maybe ice cream, but there was something else hidden in there. Pretty sure I was getting a light cheesecake buried in the vanilla cream. I didn’t get any true “cookie” profiles in there, but overall, the mix was surprisingly tasty, and NOT what you would expect from a SB and Cream.

At 15% it was nice and full, and I’d rate it at a high 9.5/10 on the strength scale. Tester after tester went by, and I couldn’t find any off-notes or complaints. Sweetness was higher, and at about 2 or 3 ticks above mid-level, so it was a sweeter juice, but it didn’t seem to slow me down surprisingly, as I don’t typically favor sweeter juices. I def. know ONE of the SB’s in there, and I can’t stress enough, how good the “jammy-ness” of the overall Strawberry profile was, AND, that it was still bright, punchy, and, (yes), jammy, even riding on top of the vanilla cream / ice cream / cheesecake layer. I love jammy SB’s, so keep that in mind regarding my rating. All in, an interesting, and unique take on the overly crowded playing field of Strawberries and Cream. To answer my earlier question, “Just another SB Cream, or Something more” ?? I would say more. Despite being pretty sweet, I can’t mark it down much for that, as it seemed to boost/enhance the SB Jam profile, and in a good way. Sweet but tasty. Leaving this one fairly high at a 9.2/10. Oh, and apparently, NO Roses were harmed in the production of this One Shot !!!

Ya this is what ruined the recipe for me…I get it though Wayne made this for the masses and even in DIY these days you see SS used at the 1pct mark often. It is a good liquid though if the sweetness was cut in half

Strawberry Waffle (Jungle Flavors) 10% (12-1-24) – With this, the last One Shot in this series, we can finish it up. This one I kind of picked on a lark, as it wasn’t really in my typical flavor realm, as I much prefer a traditional Waffles, Butter, and Syrup, so I was interested to see what would happen. Getting right into it, there was NO mistaking this was a waffle flavor, and, one with some great buttery notes. There were some light grainy notes baked in, which did help to keep it pretty authentic. On top, were some delicious Strawberries, that leaned heavily towards syruped, as opposed to fresh cut or natural. The two profiles were actually paired very smartly with the ratio being roughly 60% Waffle, and 40% Strawberry. Strength wise, it was as full as you could want at 10%, and pretty much a 10/10 on the strength scale. Sweetness was somewhat high, and I’d tag it at about 2-3 ticks above mid-level, so it was a sweet one. To expand on that, you did get sweetness from the initial onrush, middle, and finish on this one, so if you were sweet sensitive, it might be at your upper limit. Not cloying, but again, a sweet one.

No off-notes to be had, and as is sometimes the case, I had blown through 3 testers before I’d realized I hadn’t written a word LOL. Many times when testing waffles, pancakes, they’re just kinda close, but not all the way there, like “Kinda Waffles”, or “Kinda Pancakes”, but the waffles here, were just plain waffle-ly. The buttery undertones washed nicely into the syrupy strawberries, and melded together nicely. About the only thing I didn’t want to leave out, was a very nice jammy-ness to the strawberries, so that would leave them syrupy, and with jammy accents. All in, for a flavor I wasn’t sure I was going to like, I did. My go to will still be butter and syrup, but this one took me by surprise. Leaving it high, with no complaints other than the fairly high sweetness levels, at a 9.0/10.

Adding 2 more Ultimates, and One Shots !!!

Single Flavors:

Ultimate Pink Burst (Jungle Flavors) 3% (2-23-25) – Sweet, Tart, and WOW !!! OK, ok, maybe I jumped the gun here. While I’m not a huge Starburst-er, I have had a few, and yes, this one tasted VERY close to a Pink Starburst Candy. The Strawberry element(s) were fairly complex, and tasted like a couple of strawberries. Much like the candy it seemed centered around a combination of ripe, candied, and artificial strawberries. The sweet / tart ratio was about perfect, and literally gave you JUST enough of each, perfectly paired. The candy profile was no LESS impressive, as somehow, Flavor Jungle figured out how to really mimic the chewy candy aspect(s). Not a hard candy, not a gummy, but somehow, they nailed the chewy starbust-ish candy profile.

At 3% it was very full, and sweetness was just at mid-level, which worked for a chewy candy flavor. As is sometimes the case, it was SOO good, that I literally kept filling tanks up and enjoying it, before realizing I hadn’t written a word LOL. As stated this is not a dedicated or “pure” strawberry, but a chewy SB candy, that was spot on for a SB Starburst. No off-notes, issues, and abou tthe only “thought” was possibly the candy element(s) might have slightly muted the SB’s, but again, just a thought, and it was soo slight, won’t mark it down much at all for it, BUT, something I thought of. All in, if you love “Pink” Starbursts, you might want to pick up a BIG bottle of this one now. Easily just almost perfect, at a 9.9/10.

Ultimate Yellow Cake (Jungle Flavors) 3% (2-22-25) – Finally getting some time to get around to these 2 new Ultimates, and 2 new One Shots. I don’t think ANY YC can be tested without mentioning the OG, Flavor West YC, along with it’s use of sugars which has tempered it’s uses. This one actually worked to capture most of the actual elements in a YC pretty nicely, and (assuming no sugar(s)), might just push it up into the “You should probably get this one” camp. With YC’s being fairly basic with flour, eggs, vanilla, milk, sugar, and baking soda, it’s surprising that there aren’t more good YC’s out there. This one actually had most of the big elements in JUST the right proportion. I personally like it when I can get an almost baking soda-ish profile from cakes, as it just makes them even more realistic, and I did get one from this one. Some weight to the bakery, just some heft or grainy-ness, but not a lot, but just enough to add some weight to it.

Although there were no burnt edges, or darkened notes, it did portray a “cooked” cake, with no batter-y-ness, which was nice, and the vanilla, while present, actually wasn’t the top note, which again, helped keep it authentic. Overall it was a fairly “smooth” yellow cake, and really did taste close to the real thing, and after 3 tanks I really couldn’t flesh out any nit-picks, or “woulda, shoulda, coulda”'s. At 3% it was about a 7/10 on the strength scale, and felt like it could use just a bit more as a solo, and there were no off-notes to be had. Sweetness was just below mid-level, and it suited the flavor nicely. JUST rich enough to be in the cake-y camp without being too thick or dense. All in, a very good showing from Flavor Jungle, and for my tastes, the little baking soda-ish kick really sealed the deal. Leaving this one very high with the only “want” being just a bit more, but that surely could have been resolved by adding a little more. Ultimately, pretty damned spot on, and a 9.75/10.

One Shots:

Cookies and Cream (Jungle Flavors) 12% (3-1-25) – Wow, wow, wow, RIGHT out of the gate. O.k., basically, all this needs to be is TWO profiles, chocolate cookie, and creamed filling. The MOMENT I tasted this one, I knew, it had the MOST accurate chocolate cookie (Oreo) that I have ever had. PERIOD !!! I’ve tested quite a few C and C’s, but this one’s cookie, was utterly SPOT ON. I can’t fully explain it, but basically almost ALL of the other ones I’ve tried, just missed the cookie part. This one, has a somewhat subtle undertone, and I can’t say what it is, but Jungle Flavors nailed it, and completed the oreo cookie. It’s almost an undertone, or when eating them, almost an aftertaste you get from the cookie, and yes, hehe, it’s here.

The Vanilla Creme Filling was in there too, BUT, (hehe, I know, I know…), it was a little lower in the mix, and was somewhat overshadowed (not entirely) by the cookie. I could smell it, but when test tasting it, it was just a bit low(er) in the mix. It too, was very accurate, but not as completely as the cookie. It’s possible if it was raised up in the mix, it might turn out JUST as good as the cookie profile. As it stood, with the two main profiles, I’d give the cookie a 10/10, and the vanilla creme filling a 9/10 for accuracy reference. At 12% if was just about perfect strength wise, and would 10/10 it on the strength scale. Sweetness was just at mid-level, and perfect for an Oreo cookie. No off-notes, no complaints other than wanting JUST a hint more of the filling. All in, one of the best Oreo Cookies I’ve tried, and hands down the best Oreo Cookie profile I’ve tried to date. Marking down only slightly for the slightly light(er) Vanilla Creme Filling, and leaving this one sky high at a 9.9/10.

Sweet Apple Crumble (Jungle Flavors) 10% (3-1-25) – This one was hard(er) to really quantify, so I spent some EXTRA time with it. The apple(s) were what really made it hard to nail down. Despite extended testing, I really kept coming up with TWO different apple profiles. One was more Apple Pie Filling-ish, and the other seemed to really present as more of a brighter Fuji. Throughout the entire test, I couldn’t decide if the two of them really worked or not. Combined they WERE a very interesting combination, but at the same time, not entirely constructive. I did get some fairly decent crust from this one, but the crumble seemed to be lighter at least, or lost in the mix. What’s even stranger, is even WITH all of the aforemention, it was actually a really good mix overall.

At 10% it was very full without needing any boosts, and even being billed as “Sweet”, it was actually just below mid-level sweet. No off-notes, or complaints, except for the previously mentioned apple pairings. The profiles combined were fairly thick (i.e. not watery or thin), and pretty rich, which may have been an Ice Cream layered in there somewhere. All in, I would probably have just billed it as a Country Apple Pie. Literally as I finished the last tester, I finally decided that although the two apple profiles (pie filling, and bright fuji) didn’t fully support each other, they DID lend to an interestingly unique apple pie approach. Marking this down ever so slightly for that, and more for the “where’s da crumble”. Still a great one-shot IMO, and leaving it still high at a 8.75/10.

Well @Mikser, hehe, it’s been 8 years almost, and I only tested the Deep Fried C&C, never the not Deep Fried, so I can’t state to that one. The Deep Fried WAS very good, but my notes weren’t as good back then, so I would have to A/B them to see a direct comparison.
