Alright, another FIRST here people. Despite having used TPA flavors since the beginning, I am finally reviewing and single flavor testing some of them. With the exception of maybe their Vanilla Custard II, and just a few others, I could not remember the last time TPA released new flavors, so let’s get INTO them !!!
As always (or most times), all flavors tested at the listed weights, and in a 70v/30p/3mg carrier base. All steeped at least 1.5 weeks, and tested on the beloved SteamCrave RDTA v.1, running dual 24ga. Kanthal vertical coils, and with Koh Gen Do cotton. Fresh, or dry burned coils and fresh cotton before every test. Tested at 65 watts.
Berry Chewy Squares (TPA) 4.5%
Berry Jam (TPA) 4.5%
Bubblegum (Pink) (TPA) 4.5% (10-24-25) – FIRST ONE on deck from the NEW TPA 2025 flavors release. I started this one out at 2.5% but it was clearly underpowered, so I upped it to 3.5%, then 4.5%, and it seemed to open up a bit, and I think this will be the finalized testing weight for these. Once I stabilized the mixing weight, this one proved to be very bubblegummy and indeed, with a great “pink” overtone. At 4.5% it was fairly strong, and at about a 6.5/10 on the strength scale. It was pretty accurate for a typical Hubba Bubba, or Bubble Yum type bubblegum. It never wandered into a Juicy Fruit or non-descript bubble gum but stayed perfectly “pink” throughout my tests.
At times I could almost pick out the dusting coating that you sometimes get on a fresh piece out of the wrapper. Pleasantly there were no off-notes, and nothing to distract from the bubble gum experience. As is/was/is sometimes the case, about my only complaint would be a bit more saturation, but even as it stood at 4.5% it was good, and more importantly, convincing. Sweetness was about 2-3 ticks above mid-level and that suited a bbgum flavor. With no complaints, or off-notes, and my only “want” being a tad more saturation, leaving this little pinky high at a 8.9/10.
