Black Cherry (MF) 1% (1-19-20) – If you’re reading this, and you DIY, you KNOW the fear of mixing/using/trying Cherry flavors. I have GREAT NEWS, Medicine Flower really did a great Black Cherry !!! Having tried only the MF Morello which was good, but a little too laid back for my tastes, I was pleased to see that this Black Cherry steps up MF’s cherry game. No medicinal, floral, soapy or otherwise off-putting notes in this one @ 1% after a month steep, just deliecious dark cherry. Because of their natural extraction, the fact that this captured the perfect Black Cherry flavor should be no surprise. Middle of the road sweet, and fairly full at this percentage. I could see this one working VERY well with Inawera’s Cherries, and may have to mix that up before finishing this tank. Nothing marashcino or white in this mix, just pure Black Cherry. Not overtly tart, but more of a nice even, dark bodied, full BC just about sums it up. It was actually soo good that I’m already thinking of a Black Cherry Custard. As far as “in your face”, I’d put that at about an 8/10. About the only thing it might be missing would be a smidge of high notes, and a smidge of sour that you’d get from the skin. Even with that said, I cannot go less than 9.75/10 on this one.
Guava (MF) 1% (1-19-20) – Yet another “knock it out of the park” for MF with this one. Having loved, and mixed quite a bit with CAP’s Sweet Guava, was looking forward to throwing the MF Guava into the tank. As expected the two are worlds apart. Love the CAP’s, but this one is dead on accurate, natural tasting, and spot on at the ultra low price of 1%. Sweetness was right in the middle of the scale, with the full face full of a delicious red/pink guava. Nothing off-putting, no cat pee (you guava heads know what I mean), just mouth watering guava. Has the perfect amount of “fermented” twinge to it, and overflowing with body. This is hard to quantify, but probably one of the TOP MF fruit flavors I’ve tried. Now when I say the top, it means merely edging out many others by a tiny bit. It’s making me want to dash and grab some FLV Lemonade, LA Lemonade and throw some of this in there, for a smokin’ Guavade. Clean, natural, full, and accurate is all in there with this one. If you want/need/love the Guava, sign yourself up for this one. 10/10.
Wow…all I can at is wow another 20 spot spent
Kiwi (MF) 1% (1-22-20) – Well, well, well, what do we have here. Just when you thought I was a #MedicineFlowerFanBoy, Kiwi. Hmmmm, what an odd one this was, JUST when I was starting to think EVERY MF fruit flavor was the bomb. OK, let’s dive in. Smelling it, smelled spot on Kiwi, with all the high, punchy notes that you would expect. Vaping it however, it was quite a bit different. My FIRST impressions were a mid note Kiwi mixed with some Cotton Candy, and Marshmallow, with a hint of chai tea ?? Hmmmm, that’s not like MF. Re-coiled, re-wicked, let steep a bit more, nope, that’s what I’m getting. My current go to has been FA’s Kiwi for quite some time because of how accurate, clean, and punchy it is. This one just kept riding right in the middle of the brightness scale, meaning it was missing much of the higher/brighter/punchy notes that you want (at least I do) from a Kiwi. Now, it wasn’t bad, but I couldn’t help but keep noticing a Chai Tea note in it. It’s an interesting one, but I’m not sure if this is the Kiwi you are looking for. Not terrible, not great, right in the middle with a somewhat subdued Kiwi, that was missing much of the brighter notes. I may re-test later at a lower %, but it had none of the telltale signs of overuse. If so, I will update this, BUT, as it stands, at the low, low, low mixing weight of 1%, will have to leave this at a 5.5/10.
Has anyone tried the butterscotch from the new line yet? I’ll be ordering some flavors soon, kinda want to pick it up
I haven’t tried any. Maybe I should hit them up, send them to this thread, and see if I could score some review samples. I haven’t really even looked at their new lines yet, and/or even figured out which is which, and which is vaping friendly, etc. Looks rather obtuse now hehe, as I miss the olden days, where you just went to the genuine flavors spot, and loaded them up in the cart without a thought (well, except for the price).
Nicotine river only sells one line, right? That would be the one I’ll be trying…
You could contact them ahead of ordering to see if it’s still the original line in stock, or maybe one of their new lines.

This is a great point with MF flavors. They do have a broader range than many think. In my bssft’s when I reach the higher ranges the signs are different and more subtle. with the rda I have tested most of these flavors on, I would get a pronounced flavor line at the top (all that is kiwi in this case) and with a few of the fruits a depth of body that I have not came across anywhere else(kiwi included). So what I found was that the top flavor line would begin to fragment (although the flavor is still good) while the body would usually get earthy tones and or alter the texture of the body, which can be expoited if one likes it. now these are useable ranges but the more authentic notes are altered negatively.
I’m assuming this is because their all natural extracts, but can’t be sure.
That White Chocolate is AWESOME. I took @woftam idea on another forum and mixed it this way
0.25% Sweet Coconut (Flavorah)
1.00% Sweet Cream (Flavorah)
0.20% White Chocolate (MF)
Flavor total: 1.45%
I’ll be honest. I love kiwi mf. But it has more the outer skin note. Try 0.75 mf with 2% fa kiwi and 0.75 marshmallow fa. (Or fresh cream fa at 0.35%) but steep for a couple weeks.
@Chrispdx The FA would def. help punch the high end back through. Sadly that’s outside the scope of my endless tirade of SFT. I still have quite a few MF’s left on deck to test, and two other manufacturers after that on deck. The funny thing that IS about MF is that most of their flavors are dead on accurate, and delicious, BUT, often times they are best used NOT as the main carrier, but as supporters. We’ll see how the rest fare.
Nectarine (MF) 1% (1-23-20) – Juicy, delicious, accurate, review over !!! OK, maybe not over over, but those were my FIRST thoughts on Medicine Flower’s Nectarine. Smelled great in the bottle all during it’s steep sleep, and vaping it, was exactly the same. It was soo juicy, that it was very close to eating one, or about as close as you could. MF always seems to get the sweetness right, and this was the same, with mid to low sweetness. Nice and punchy top end with some brightness, but with no bitterness or any off putting notes. Juicy, accurate, and delicious really does say all you need to say about this one. 9.7/10. After much peer pressure from @xxanalogxx, I’ve decided to disclose the -0.3 was for “No Tang”. That is all…
9.7 what you going all Haze on us
Great reviews mate! I always loved a lot of MF extracts, but reading your reviews has enlighten me on a lot of extracts that I never tried and now makes feel I really missed out on some really good flavors. Thanks @SessionDrummer… keep 'em coming.
Hehe, ok, ok, you just can’t come out and give everything 10/10, or no one will trust you. I personally prefer a smidge ot “Tang” on my Nectarines. Now many will argue that “Tang” is an artificial thing, and MF is all Natural, so what gives. I actually get that sometimes when eating them, so I decided to wack off 0.3 for NO TANG !!!
When the flavors are THIS good, and THIS accurate, nit picking can become VERY hard @xxanalogxx, BUT, nit pick I must.
Thanks a lot @Pro_Vapes, that really means a lot coming from you. I mean for some here that do not know you, you ARE/WERE/ARE the Medicine Flower expert. I can thank a few for talking about them, but YOU are the one, who really got me past my “price fear”, and introduced me to high powered flavor mixing. I’m sure you know that MF was discounting these beauts, as they are being discontinued (sniff, sniff), BUT, I think they’re replacing with 2 to 3 new lines ?? Well, hehe, I panic shopped and snatch up as many as I could get, and I thank YOU for that Sir. Sadly the coveted Mint was OOS so I’ll have to rob a bank to get that one, as I DO remember EXACTLY what you said about it.
Not to push shameless plugs here PV, but anyone following this thread (as everyone SHOULD BE), they would be REMISS in not mixing THIS one up…
And for that matter, dig a little deeper and see what @Pro_Vapes was able to accomplish here …
Thanks a lot for stopping in, taking the time to read my ramblings, I appreciate it.
For you @Pro_Vapes, I will pack some up for you, if you are indeed, in need.
Paying it forward to the Master.
He is doing just a fine job, eh @Pro_Vapes
Really proud of @SessionDrummer…
I wonder what that kiwi would taste like at say .4% with some cotton candy, cream and pucker
