New database error discussion thread

I’ve noticed all my recipes using:
Sour Watermelon Candy - Wonder Flavours Sour Watermelon Candy (WF)
have been changed to:
Watermelon Candy (Extra Sour) (SC) - Wonder Flavours Watermelon Candy (Extra Sour) (SC) (WF)
I manually changed them all back, just wondering if others have this problem, I beleive they are two different flavors…?? Just a heads up, I don’t know how different these two flavors are but any recipes using the former may be mixed up with the latter and won’t be as intended.

Thanks for the heads up @JoelOl75.

Yes they are 2 different flavors, probably another victim of the Merge

Aurora (FA) should be Tropyc (Aurora) (FA) cos they changed the flavor’s name some years ago.
Maybe a simple DB change to the entry could easily fix it.

Anyone know wtf this is? It doesnt appear on any FA site.

Confused with CAP?

I don’t really know what it is (I googled for it recently) but it is mentioned in the custard summary pretty early on in flavor notes.
This is from Custard Premium (FA),

I wish I knew. I saw it on a site when I googled it. I’ll see if I can find the link again. I saw a few recipes pop up using it.

It might just be an alternate name for their regular custard in the Australian market perhaps?

I see that capture was from 2019 so perhaps you are right, let me see if my brain cell can crap out a reasonable explanation.

I believe this flavor has been merged a few times as it is just the regular custard. It was created in the database April of 2024 so its a new entry, no prior public or private mixes and only a handful of mixes. So it must have been me or daath that merged it.

Im going to ask the person who entered the first private mix just to be sure then add a note to Custard FA.

Thanks folks.

Custard Extra?

Not necessarily very strong evidence, but BCF uses the same picture and a similar description for the regular FA Custard,

I wish FA DID make one.

True. Often pics are not the correct, but they are here. BCF does provide SDS for this flavor showing that this is #0499 flavor which is FA Custard indeed.

Also all Italian vaping sites say Crema Pasticcera is original FA Custard (they should know since FA is Italian). Pasticcera means Pastry.

What is less known are some of their new Ice creams

FA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
FA Strawberry IC
FA Melon IC

Or creams (some are not added yet)
FA Custard CP+ (‘clean’ version of Custard Premium without Diacetyl and Acetoin)
FA Butter Cream
FA Graham Cracker Cream
FA Creme Caramel King
FA English Cream
FA Creamy Liqueur Special
or nearly a dozen new liqueur flavors, florals,…

Thank you, Mikser, that cleared things up!

Also, Gah! More creams to look into! (not like I need any more :face_with_peeking_eye: )

Flavour Art Custard Cream actually was its own flavour that consisted of a custard base with a biscuit note added, it was sold under the U.K. blends or blended category by Flavour Art U.K. I can remember seeing it on the old U.K. website before it was revamped and being tempted to buy it.

It’s plain old lemony FA Custard (FA #0499) and they are still selling it www.flavourart.co.uk/custard-fa0499.html

Also, you can roll back their website to see what was it like in the past (wayback machine here)

Here is a screenshot from July 2018.

(it’s not one of their FAUK blends (one-shots), it’s just a regular FA flavor; see here);
shouldn’t be confused with FA Custard PI 3.14 which is indeed one of FAUK blends (was actually as it seems it is discontinued, but still available in many UK shops).

Yes, that “Custard Cream” is a very old bottle (at least 4 or more years ago… I don’t remember).
Actually the flavour is simply called “Custard”.
Take a look at FA main store here
