I lucked out and am getting these from Flavorah as well. Just have to not peek at what’s posted here until I do my own tests. It’s gonna be rough, as all you guys in the states got the flavors much sooner. I’m hoping mine will come some time in the next 2 weeks. 
I’m crazy looking forward to trying the watermelon and cucumber, as well as some others, but those two definitely stuck out for me. I wonder if Cool Cucumber will be cucumber with coolant? I’m not the biggest fan of super cool flavors (like fw jungle juice as an example), but if FLV balanced it well, it could be a brilliant flavor.
Must. Not. Read. This. Thread.

Agreed, same here. I always feel the need to RE-dislaimer that before I test anything cool, because, I am NOT the cooling/cooled/cool expert.

@IggyZ The Coolcumber does contain coolant.

@SessionDrummer, he was right about the potency of Coolcumber. To test for coolant i put 1 drop in a shot glass of water, im still burping cucumber an hour later…

Thank you, Just went on BCF and cannot see any of these 12 new flavors on their page as of Aug 19.
Wish I could get the 15 ml bottles of Flavorah direct but I don’t have a business, frown.

Coolcumber (Flavorah) 0.25% (8-20-25) – FIRST one on deck from this newly released series from Flavorah. Thanks out to @Bryson from Flavorah in warning me that my initial 1.0% might be TOO high for this Ultra Concentrated, and I re-mixed/steeped down to 0.25%. I might JUST be the right skeptic to test this one, as I rarely cucumber, and I do NOT like cooling, and this one had BOTH.
Well, I can tell you Bryson was right, and even down at 0.25% it was VERY full, and tasted very good. Not weak, watery, or in any way diminished. The cucumber profile on this one was VERY good, hyper accurate, and almost approaching Medicine Flower territory. Clean, crisp, and very natural tasting, and with a mix of both the fleshy body, and the darker skin. No seeds, but frankly, that was about the only thing you didn’t get. What was interesting was it had a certain fullness to it, almost a richness which gave it some weight and was unexpected.
The cooling profile was actually done very well, and it was layered in expertly, so as to ACCENT the fresh cucumber, without overpowering it, or overshadowing it. It was hard to tell but I think I WAS getting a light mint from the cooling, but it was very light in the mix overall. Wow, color me impressed, as I did NOT think I would like this one. 3 testers later, hehe, I was wrong. Fresh, juicy, full bodied (flesh and skin), accurate were my big take-aways on the cuke, and just perfectly accented by the cooling, with a light mint touch. At times I wondered if there might be just a hint of a light vanilla cream in there giving it some body and a slight smoothness, but I couldn’t decide. At 0.25% it was great, and sweetness was about 3 ticks south of mid-level.
I went into this thinking I’d surely find some issues, complaints, or wishes, but I just kept coming up short. Flavorah really nailed both profiles with this one, and I couldn’t find anything to nit-pick. Coolcumber is exactly what you got with this one, and I teetered back and forth on the rating and finally gave in, and released the Kraken. 10/10.

Definitely a “In Your Face” cucumber!

I think how they paired the two profiles really helped set it off. Plenty of juicy cuke, but accented by the cooling, w./ light mint hints. I was afraid it was going to be more of an arctic freeze, but I was wrong.

Fruit Fusion (Flavorah) 1% (8-22-25) – This flavor was fairly hard to nail down, or at least fully. The two things that were easily identifiable were a distinct grape, and some subtle cooling. Yes, cooling again, BUT, it was very light, but present throughout. The other profiles were fairly shrouded, but I seemed to get a hint of red apple, maybe even a red currant in there as well. Clearly it was a medley even if all of the individual elements couldn’t be identified. It presented as natural and candied early on, but the finish tasted more candy grape-ish than anything else.
At 1% it was full but not what I would call strong, and maybe a 6.9/10 on the strength scale, so it could be pushed maybe another 0.5% without issue. The sweetness was interesting, as it tasted fairly sweet, but only just on the initial onrush, and later on it tapered off. Very interesting. I’d rate it just above mid-level sweet. While I really just don’t like cooling agents, the cooling present was light enough to just be known, with a slight cooling effect, and in no way heavy handed. No overt off-notes or complaints. All in, a fairly candied grape mashup, with maybe some red apple, red currant, and a light cooling was what you got. Not a superstar, but still a good, and interesting flavor. Finalizing it at a 8.5/10.

Garden Mint (Flavorah) 1% (8-23-25) – I could tell this one wasn’t just a mint when mixing it up, and was curious to see how it was different. There was an initial somewhat light onrush of fresh mint, but it quickly morphed into a mint with a light citrus note, and it finished with almost a light tea undertone. Wow. ALL in a mint flavor ?? Yes. The citrus note was hard to nail down as the “expected” profile was Lemon but I didn’t really get a lemon from it, so I’ll leave it as a “citrus”. The light tea note that I got on the finish was very interesting, and finished it out, and made the entire flavor more complex.
At 1% it was spot on strength wise, and sweetness was just below mid-level. The mint itself tasted more like a mint/spearmint combo, which worked really well here. For a “mint” flavor it had more weight than expected which added to the complexity. Very nicely done, and with the citrus and light tea-ish element I could see this working out great in a lot of teas, and drink mixes. No off-notes or complaints, so leaving it very high @ a 9.85/10. Nicely done, and in an interesting way.

Huckleberry (Flavorah) 1% (8-24-25) – When looking around for Huckleberry flavors, they appear to be almost as mystical as the real thing, as there are only 4 really viable choices on ELR (realistically), and even then, only one stands out. Apparently not only are they almost impossible to grow, but even harder to capture in the flavor. Beyond the ONE I tested from VSO (10.1/10), there just haven’t been any real contenders. Well, hehe, the times have changed, and Flavorah really nailed it with this one.
The FLV Team did a great job with this one, and it really captured the dark berry elements which did straddle a blueberry, and raspberry. The aforementioned just really captures it perfectly, and the sweet, tart, and sourness of this one were perfect. Perfectly balanced. The darker, somewhat smoother elements of a blueberry, perfectly spliced in with the sharper, tart-ier notes from a raspberry. Wow because at some point, I’ll have to move onto the other flavors in this series hehe. For the most part, it was like nothing else on my racks, and that’s saying something.
Sweetness was just below mid level, and (repeating) was perfectly ratio’d against the tartness. If you are a berry lover, this one IS for you. At 1% it was perfectly strong, and at a 9.5/10 on the strength scale, and I gave up trying to find faults after the first tank. I’m not overly sensitive to florals, and did not pick up on any here. No issues, no complaints, no wants, none. As was the case with the Coolcumber, I’m going to drop the hammer, and release the Kraken again with this one, 10/10. If you like, want, or need a Huckleberry, put this one in your cart.

Lemon Lime Soda (Flavorah) 1%/2% (8-24-25) – As soon as this one settled (broke in), I could tell 1% was not going to be enough, as it was a weaker flavor compared to most that I’ve tested in this series already. Boosted it to 2% and it took better shape. I never fully got the “soda” profile from it, but I did get a VERY natural Lemon, and lime, that were sweetened. Actually the FIRST thought I had, was a mixture of simple syrup, with fresh lemon, and lime juice. The citrus elements were very realistic with a nice tart kick, and zesty-ness that help sell the flavor, and keep it in the natural camp.
Even doubled (from my initial 1% testing weight) it still wasn’t a strong flavor, and registered at about a 6/10 on the strength scale, so it might be possible to go even higher. Sweetness was a few ticks above mid-level, but it wasn’t cloyingly sweet, and perhaps it was the citrus that helped offset it a bit. As a simple syrup with fresh lemon and lime juice I’d have rated it fairly high at a 9/10, but as a soda, I had to knock it down a bit. No off-notes, bitterness, or squirrely-ness even at 2%, so I decided to leave it at a still high 8.6/10, with the only take-offs for relative strenght/saturation, and not much “soda”. High marks given for the natural-ness of the lemon and lime, and tart, zesty kick however.
