I don’t understand something here.How can 68% of the people like TFA, 59% like Cap, 49% like FA, 8% like FW, ect, ect, ect? I would venture to say that is way over 100%…

The poll lets you choose two options, not just one ;D The percentage is an indication of how many of the 61 voters like a particular vendor :smile:

I’m glad we kept it going. Capella is making a late charge.

I’m a little surprised, but not too much. I just got some new flavors from them and I really love them. Cap seems to do dessert type stuff really well. Fruits are hit and miss for me. Their coconut though I have yet to find a match for. I’ve got some FW Creamy Coconut steeping…we’ll see if it can overthrow the King of the Coconuts. :wink:

I have more misses then hits when it comes to CAPS fruits…to me they all have that candy like taste but some of their newer ones like yellow peach are great!
I seem to only use their desserts and a few creams I enjoy…I haven’t tried their coconut though…have only use tpa extra coco
Has anyone tried these new companies like German flavors yet?

I’m pretty sure @Pro_Vapes has. Have you had a chance to try/review them yet, PV?

I’ve been working with Ide Vapors flavors right now. I haven’t used but a couple GF that are steeping. From reviews I read they are hit and miss. The Fig and Toffee I hear are top notch. I have those 2 coming today. I have 16 others still to test.

I read good reviews on INW coconut. It’s coming today also.

It requires patience for the steep/mellowing time, but it’s a nice true coconut once it has a chance to cure in the mix. Comes off a bit odd/chemical tasting right out of the bottle, should anyone be doing a taste test without steeping it a few of days.

That’s a pretty big result for TFA at this point. Though I wonder if this has as much to do with price as anything. I do frequently use TFA flavors. But primarily I use them in conjunction with the same flavor from FA or CAP usually. I find the flavors better with FA and CAP but the aromas are better with TFA. By putting the two together I find it creates a better rounded flavor over all. I actually consider them an imperative. But alone I generally feel they are too perfumey. Is that even a word?

I agree you with there. Some say that’s overkill. I think it produce a better eliquid. I don’t do it with a background flavor… but when it’s a lead flavor I need it spot on.

Do you have any experience with Hangsen flavors? I’m thinking of ordering some of their tobacco flavors.

I recently ordered four Tobacco flavors that’s steeping right now. Once I try them I will post my thoughts on them. Most of what I read about Hangsen Tobaccos was really positive.

I voted TPA and Flavor West. Although I believe that FA and CAP should get honorable mention from me because my collection of flavors would prove that about half of my flavors are FA and CAP.

I voted for The Flavor Apprentice. I love that I can get 4ml samples of any flavor for $1.40 and four ounces for about $7. Thats 120 ml. Great selection and fast shipping cannot be beat.

I didn’t state that specifically. But yes, I primarily only use it with lead flavors. But I can’t do a strawberry that I like without combining flavors. So if there is a strawberry called for in the recipe. I use the combination.

I just purchased their RY4. I was very disappointed with the up front aroma. But I’ve mixed up a batch anyway. I’ll report back what I find. But hopes are not high.

From reviews I read they have an ry0 that’s their best ry.
