Whats the word on the two new FA orange flavors?

I like them. Blood orange is the best blood orange Iāve triedā¦compared to FW and RF Sc. I tried swapping out for faās in a few recipiesā¦but I went conservative and it didnāt pop just rightā¦so I will up the blood orange bit.

Thank you for this article! I LOVE Blood Orange (FW)! What on earth can be better? I just wonderā¦I have not tried any other than Flavorah BO, but FW is much better. Only minus is, I use a lot of it 6-13%.
Nectarine? Itās not an orange. Itās fruit with stone in it.
Thanks for this. I long ago settled on FWās Oranges as being the most balanced and natural flavours, and am enthusiastic about FAās latest variants.
However, the much bigger issue for me is the throat hit from the nicotine. I find this with Apple too, where I want to achieve a natural fresh squeezed result without skewing it with cream and bakery etc. Those flavours are in most juices and seem to protect the throat, but I canāt use them here. Even the Marshmallow you like is too funky for me. Iāve found a bit of FA fresh cream helps as does Citric Acid, and sweeteners offer distraction. But still, even after 12 months steeping, the sharpness is still there. You cease to notice it after a half dozen puffs, but itās like sandpapering your throat in the meantime.
I agree with the harshness. I did get some new orange flavors in and will be adding to the list.
As of lateā¦ juicy orange cap I found to week with that non fun throat hit. Tangerine flv I am vaping the tester right now is a winnerā¦not real orange throat hit and the flavor is pretty authentic. I should be able to post the rest of the results in more detail in the next couple of weeks.
Orange shisha inw, orange dream bar FW and I think another one is on deckā¦canāt remember. Lol.
Iām not totally done testing, itās only been two weeks, but NicVapeās clementine is really impressing me right now. Itās a juicy sweet orange flavor and no harshness or throat tickle that Iāve noticed with other citrus flavors. It reminds me more of a Tang or SunnyD type orange rather than an orange juice type orange, although there is some ānaturalā orange in there as well. Unless it changes, itāll be my favorite orange flavor.

Hmmm. Interesting. Not sure if Iām going to buy more orange flavors. Lol. After my last purchase of a bunch I realized yesturday there are a bunch I may never touch again. Oh so sad.

Iāve got some Orange Shisha on the go and it has some nice fresh juicy qualities, but itās very strong and I think Iāve gone way overboard at 3%ā¦ Will look for FLV and NicVape next time Iām ingredient shopping.
Iām revisiting my nic. Iām using Chemnovatic, which came well ahead of a couple of others in my blind tests, but if Element can do it with Fresh Squeeze (even if it tastes like marmalade) perhaps itās just down to really superior nic? Certainly at 1-2mg Iām much happier with the results than at 3mg. I have a feeling it also has something to do with alcohol in the concentrates, which Element must somehow manage to avoid or cook off. (Which might explain the marmalade flavour lol)
Have you tried liquid pyure stevia?

Ive been recommending NicVape for over a year nowā¦ Curious what other NV flaves you have tried. I have pretty much the whole line and most of the newer ones too and can offer my thoughts on any you have your eye on

Thatās a thought. Stevia has an off taste for me so Iāve shelved it in general, but will try some.
Yeah Iāve tried sweeteners. Itās always worth a try since everyone is different. But to orange throat hit I havenāt found it to help much.
I think it may be one of those things people experiance more so than others. Like pepper taste from vbic. Upon posting a couple mixers I highly respect and love their mixes sent me some private recipes. In most cases that throat hit was there. Sad I knowā¦but it leads me to believe that one component I am super sensitive to while others in an orange vape Iām drawn to. Itās weird, and Iām weird. I just did side by side tests on my strawberry custard mixes with cucumber, cactus, and pepperā¦just for giggles.

Pyure is very clean almost no dicernable flavor. I made an Orange Phanta mix and used pyure to tame the orange. Got several comments as to how smooth the juice wasā¦

I agree, as long as its used low enough. Iāve found that .4% is as high as I can go with it before the bitter aftertaste comes through.

Agreed. I actually dilute mine by half (2ounces pyure , 2 ounces PG into a 120ml glass boston round. The PG gives it a longer shelf lifem I then use 0.5% so its actually only 0.25%

Thatās a really good idea. I think Iām going to do that too.

Itās going to sound a bit off, but have you tried adding a bit (0.75%) of persimmon to your orange? Iāve found that it compliments citrus recipes that lack that ājuiceā feel. A bit of Apple (0.5%) will also help get you to the ājuiceā. Donāt use Fuji though, it does awful things to the background notes.

Flavorah. I know bull city flavors sells it in 15ml size. It doesnāt take much at all. It is pretty good as an SA, too. I donāt know where they were getting persimmons from too compile the flavor profile, but itās way better than any persimmons Iāve ever eaten.
