@MysticRose No no, PLEASE take over the thread. I saw another (kinda) Purilum thread but it kind of meandered a bit. Can you copy/paste here ??

It really would put a bunch of boring notes that people will get tired of scrolling through. Although then I could delete some flavors from my stash without feeling bad because all the notes are deleted along with the flavors. It really would be an irritating lot of info to scroll past though

How about pasting it in a document and putting it on something like dropbox or google docs? Or if you wanted, send it to me and Iāll put it on my Google drive with all the other vape stuff and post a link. Just a thought.

@MysticRose I didnāt mean to sound like I was making ābusy workā for you, but Iāve read some of your reviews on NRās website, and they are outstanding IMO.

Just remember, some of you asked for this! And for those that didnāt ask, blame them 
JoJo had the best suggestion with making a file and she could link, but at that point I was already 3/4 done with copying and pasting, and so it was full of asterisks and scores for formatting. If no one minds the symbols we could still do the file and link. Can people that just use cell phones open files? Iām sure they probably can, I just use my tablet more so I am not familiar.
Here we goā¦
Per request I am posting my notes here. Iām sorry this will be such a huge post. The star ratings I gave are based on how closely I think the flavor tasted like the name, and not necessarily whether I liked it. Example: I think I gave Strawberry Rhubarb Smash 4/5 stars. I canāt stand it as I donāt like strawberry rhubarb, but it was a good replica of the title. Then there are others that I personally wouldnāt buy or use, even though they had a good rating. Example: Bananascotch Cream, even though I rated it a 4/5 (I think) because of how closely it tastes like the name, I personally would not buy and use it. Because the 2 flavors are combined, it limits the versatility for mixing IMO. I could easily make the flavor myself using banana and butterscotch if I want the combination, so why would I limit myself to having to use both together in a profile. However, some people may like it as they only have to spend money on one flavoring to get both, so itās a 2 for 1 type of thing. Or they may like it as a single flavor, or find it easier to only have to use 1 flavor instead of combining. So it just depends on what you are looking for. And as always, taste is subjective, so you may like something I didnāt or vice versa.
All flavors were tested with a 30/70 mix with no nicotine.
The following flavors were tested using a Troll RDA with a wickless single SS .8 ohm Clapton coil at 20W.
ARCTIC MINT
Percentage Used: 2%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 6 Day and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Wintergreen or spearmint, fresh, crisp.
Flavor Description: At a 6 day steep this is a naturally sweet spearmint, slightly cool and clean. I couldnāt detect any off flavors, and itās not overly sweet like a candy. At a 2 week steep this is a wonderful refreshing mint. I canāt figure out if Iām tasting spearmint or wintergreen though. I am leaning more towards spearmint as Iām getting that faint fruitiness that is usually found in spearmint and itās very refreshing which is more common to spearmint. And the bite of the menthol in this is just slightly lower than peppermint but more than is usually in spearmint. It also is missing any hints of green or pine type flavor. Ok, based on all that jumbled criteria, I am going to say this is a moderately sweet refreshing spearmint with a little heavier level of menthol. Soothing and cool with that light generic fruitiness in the back note.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 5/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit, tobaccos, creams, coffees, teas, candy, mints, chocolate, cucumbers.
Notes: I can taste a nice spearmint gum with this as a single flavor at 2-4%. Also a fantastic accent at .5-2% paired with watermelon which is one of my favorite pairings. I think tobaccos and teas will be great with this one as well.
Comparison: FA White Winter is very similar, however it has a slight creaminess that isnāt obvious in PURās, and PUR is heavier in the menthol which gives it a little more of a cold kick and makes it seem a bit more refreshing.
BAVARIAN CREAM
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 1/5
Steep Time: 19 Days
Aroma: Medium strength, warm cream, caramel, vanilla.
Flavor Description: At a 19 day steep, the flavor is almost non-existent to me. There is a very slight hint of slightly caramelized vanilla if you really concentrate. It seems more milky rather than creamy, and is missing the richness usually found in Bavarian Creams. I will have to give it a longer steep and/or try a much higher percentage. At 19 days though it seems it should be at least a little creamy and flavorful, but itās possible this flavor requires a longer steep to fully develop.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Uses and Pairings: Desserts, bakeries, and custards. Any fruits other than citrus. Vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, cookie, chocolate, coffee, irish cream, other creams.
Notes: Compared to LA, TFA, and FW: PUR is about 1/4 the strength. Lacking flavor, creaminess and vanilla for me.
BOYSENBERRY
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 3/5
Steep Time: 2 Weeks
Aroma: Fresh boysenberries, sweet and tart.
Flavor Description: This is an authentic fresh boysenberry thatās not artificial tasting. This one is a brighter berry, slightly closer to the raspberry side than the blackberry. Iām not getting the juiciness with this one, it actually seems a bit dry to me. It doesnāt taste like itās sweetened or has sugar added, but seems slightly sweeter than natural. Itās missing that tartness usually found in fresh boysenberries, and I think that is why it seems sweeter.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: All other berries, apple, pears, coconut, honey, apricots, peaches, nut, cardamon, cinnamon, cream cheese, creams, ice cream, custard, tobaccos, smoothies, rum, sherry.
Notes: This is a lighter strength flavoring, and itās pleasant but average. Itās not great, but not bad either. Itās kind of one note, missing richness and complexity. For me I think a good strength for a single flavor is 7-9% and 2.5-4% in mixes.
BOYSENBERRY PRESERVES
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 2 Weeks
Aroma: Boysenberries, sweetness, slight perfume/floral.
Flavor Description: This is a sweet medium strength boysenberry. Itās not artificial tasting, but itās not a fresh sweet and tart berry either. The taste is a dark, ripe and juicy boysenberry that has been cooked down with sugar, like a jam or pie filling. The inhale is deep rich blackberry/boysenberry and the exhale brings the brighter notes with just a faint tang.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 4/10 It does have a just little bite to it.
Pairings: All other berries, apple, pears, coconut, honey, nut, cardamon, cinnamon, cream cheese, creams, ice cream, custard,cookies, cakes, pies, tarts, danishes, bakeries, tobaccos. This is an excellent choice for any baked goods as the fruit already has that cooked flavor and will blend well.
Notes: The floral perfume aroma present in the concentrate has steeped out, and I donāt taste or smell any in this at the 2 week steep. It wasnāt extremely prominent, just a hint. I recommend 48-72 hours steep at minimum to avoid it, and the slight bite from the berry really drops off after the 1 week mark. For me I think a nice strength for a single flavor is 5-8% and 1.5-3% in mixes.
BUTTER CREAM
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Aroma: sweet, butter, cream, slight rancid sour (BA?).
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep I found this to be a dense, creamy, authentic rich butter. Naturally sweet similar to sweet cream butter, not a butter cream frosting. Butter flavor is dominant and very authentic, nothing artificial and definitely not like margarine. At a 2 week steep, the butter flavor has smoothed out just slightly with a longer steep into a more balanced butter with cream, the butter is not quite as dominant as when freshly mixed. It still a lovely creamy butter flavor, sweet and natural tasting. It has more of a rich fluffy whipped type mouth feel/body with the longer steep. This could easily be used as a dense rich butter flavor in the first few days, but it developed into a good whipped and fluffy butter cream with the additional steep time.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 0/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit you like with cream especially berries, try to avoid citrus and acidic fruits. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, nuts, tobaccos, bagels, cookies, cakes, pie crusts, custards, pastries. Anywhere you want butter.
Notes: I was worried a little bit about it being too delicate to hold up to stronger flavors. It still needs more testing to see what it will provide to a variety of flavors. However, I did mix 2.5 mls of the 6% tester with 2.5mls of pre-steeped Elephant Ear, and itās a delicious buttery frosted pastry with an amazing body.
Comparison: CAP Butter Cream is a little less sweet and also has great body and a creamy mouth feel. Itās butter flavor is more artificially flavored than PURās and also has a faint astringent chemical note that does steep out when used in low percentages. CAPās is more of a cream with the butter being a lighter back note vs PURās which is more of a sweet butter with the cream being the lighter back note. I personally prefer the flavor of PUR as the butter is authentic and more prominent, without having any chemical off flavors. However, I also think there are recipes where CAPās will work better, itās all dependent on the flavor profile you are seeking to create.
This is not a SF candidate for my tastes. I recommend 1-3% as an accent flavor.
BUTTER MINT
Percentage Used: 2%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 6 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: peppermint candy, candy cane, butter mint.
Flavor Description: At a 6 day steep this is a smooth, sweet, candied peppermint. Itās very much a butter mint with the familiar body and buttery creamy mouth texture, not the hard candy or candy cane. Although it could be taken in that direction in mixes if desired. It provides a chilly cooling sensation without being peppery or too strong. At a 2 week steep this has mellowed slightly. I donāt want to say the flavor has faded, it hasnāt. I guess the best way to describe it is that it has continued to smooth out and become silky. Itās still a wonderful creamy butter mint. The buttery creaminess is very distinctive in a good way.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: I can see this being used to provide light peppermint to gums, cookies, teas, beverages, tobacco. This will also add a very buttery minty creaminess to chocolates, ice creams, coffees, custards, cheesecakes, milkshakes. Or make flavored butter mints by adding vanillas or fruits.
Notes: Although this did settle a bit with the steep, this was also very good as a S&V. Itās just slightly stronger for the first few days, but still smooth, mouth-watering and delicious. For a SF I would probably bump it up to 3-4%, and .5-2% as an accent.
BUTTER PECAN
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Baked pecans, butter, caramel, cream.
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep Iām in love. Nutty, buttery, slightly creamy, mildly sweet. Smooth, authentic fresh roasted pecans are dominant yet not heavy like candy. At a 2 week steep this has become much richer. The pecans are still very dominant, in a good way. The butter and caramel has really strengthened and stands up equally to the pecans now, and the dairy cream type creaminess has faded a little. Itās still creamy, but itās more the rich creaminess you get from butter rather than milk or cream. Well balanced with the ratio of caramel to pecans, it avoids being overly sweet and candy like while still being rich and buttery. Delicious 
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Almost any stone fruit and definitely banana. Bakeries, cookies, cakes, creams, custards, coffees, tobaccos, candy, nougat, ice cream.
Notes: For single flavor I recommend 6-8% in an RDA and 7-9% in a tank. For an accent flavor probably in the 1-4% range. So yummy! Just in case you missed it, I really like this 
Comparison: Compared to FW, this is more natural pecan that has been browned in sweet cream butter and caramel. The pecan nut is more prominent and itās moderately sweet. FW has a lot stronger and heavier cream component, almost like a butter pecan ice cream. Itās also sweeter and the pecan isnāt quite as dominant. Both of these are very good and will provide different notes to recipes.
CAPPUCCINI COFFEE
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Strong dark roasted coffee bean, warm cream, chocolate?
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep this is a medium roast coffee, robust, milky, back notes of chocolate and faint vanilla. Slight bitterness of the coffee bean at the beginning of the inhale, followed with surprising sweetness although it seems slightly dry. Itās very good, I wasnāt expecting the sweetness. At the 2 week steep mark this hasnāt changed drastically so it would make a good shake and vape. The slight dryness did disappear with the longer steep time, but it wasnāt overly bothersome in the beginning. The warm cream is mild and has smoothed out just slightly and itās still a robust roast with that surprising sweetness at the end. The mild bitterness/darkness of the coffee bean is also now more noticable on the beginning of the exhale as well, so overall this has become more balanced during both inhale and exhale. This is the first coffee flavor I have found that I like, actually tasting like freshly brewed coffee versus the typical instant coffee taint.
Off Flavors: None, slightly dry for the first few days.
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Irish Cream, amaretto, brandy, creams, white and milk chocolate, butterscotch, caramel, creme de menthe, vanillas, toffee, malted milk, meringue, salted caramel, toasted marshmallow, whipped cream, cinnamon, biscotti, butter pecan, butter rum, cookies, cakes, nuts, tobaccos.
Notes: I donāt like black unsweetened coffee, this is great with the cream and sweetening coming through. I recommend 4-6% in an RDA and 6-8% in a tank for SF. Accent in the 1-3% range.
CEREAL
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Mild, grain, corn flakes or rice krispies. Flakes seem dominant?
Flavor Description: This is one of the better cereals Iāve tasted. Mild naturally sweet crispy corn flakes. It has the slight grain flavor without being dry. Noticeable full mouth feel, this has an authentic generic cereal flavor, and has avoided the sandy over done oat flavor I usually get from most cereals. This is going to be a very versatile flavor.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Cereals, desserts, bakeries, crust, anywhere you want to add body. Breads, donuts, dough, any fruit, cream, milk, vanilla, cookie, apple pie, custards, cake.
Notes: Iām planning on using 7-9% for SF and 2-6% for blends.
CHEESECAKE GRAHAM
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Medium strength, creamy vanilla, graham cracker dominant.
Flavor Description: Very, very good. Graham cracker crust is very dominant and good strength, and it tastes like the crackers moistened with a creamy butteriness. Iām not getting a lot of cheesecake itself, but itās the best graham crust Iāve tried, with the sweet buttery moistness that has been missing in other brands. I am also getting notes of creamy coconut very similar to Purilumās NY Cheesecake during the first 2 weeks. This is going to be a very popular flavor for me. Some people may find the coconut is too prominent, especially if they donāt like it, or it doesnāt work for the intended flavor profile during the first week or two. Itās less noticeable at lower percentages and does steep out, itās the intensity of the graham cracker until it mellows.
Off Flavors: Coconut
Throat Hit: 3/10 Gets better with steeping.
Pairings: Desserts, bakeries, cookies, cereals, custards, anywhere you want body. Vanilla, cheesecake, fruits except citrus, cookie, pies, crust, butter, any creams, custard, condensed milk, cakes.
Notes: Very good strength at 7% for SF and 1.5-4% in blends. Compared to CAP Cheesecake Graham, this is much more authentic. Not as creamy as Caps, but it actually tastes like a real buttery graham crust itself.
CONDENSED MILK
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Faint milky cream, sugar.
Flavor Description: This tastes like a sweet dense thick cream. It has great mouth feel and body, the cream flavor being more prominent than milk. I would describe it as moderately sweet cream on steroids. Itās very close, but missing the richness and extreme sweetness of Condensed Milk. This will be a really versatile flavor that will pair well with almost any flavor.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Desserts, custards, coffees, bakeries, cookies, vanillas, cereals. This will be a really versatile flavor that will pair well with almost any flavor.
Notes: This is not a SF for me, 2-6% in blends.
COUNTRY APPLE
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Strong, realistic apple, fresh, juicy, tangy, sour.
Flavor Description: This is a very good and unique apple as it tastes like itās been cooked. I can taste the sweet flesh of the apple, along with just a hint of rind. Natural realistic flavor, not crisp and sour. It does have the normal faint tanginess though. No spices or sugar, just slow simmered tender apple.
Off Flavors: Slight peel.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: This is a great apple for bakeries, perfect for pie filling or apple danishes or dumplings. Most any fruit that pairs well with apple. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, cinnamon, clove, maple, brown sugar, caramel.
Notes: Good strength for SF at 7-9%. 2-6% for blends.
Compared to FA Fuji, this is much different. Itās not as overwhelmingly dominant, so I can see it being much easier to work with in recipes. It is also missing that fresh tart crisp sharpness that is in FAās version. I think they are both very good, it just depends on what you are looking for in your recipe.
CREAM DREAM
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 1/5
Steep Time: 2 Weeks
Aroma: Strawberries, peaches, cream.
Flavor Description: Medium strength play doh with very light back notes of strawberry and faint peach. It seems like itās dry as well, Iām not getting any cream. The play doh is overwhelming and is really getting in my way of even describing the nuances. The only time I have ever gotten that play doh is with doughnut flavorings. So Iām assuming some is in there for body and/or sweetness? Or it could be way too much AP? Iāve never used so much AP that Iāve gotten the doh taste so Iām not sure if that is a possibility? I could smell slight play doh when scenting the concentrate itself, but it disappeared with the steep. Please add some input in the comments on this one if youāve tried it, especially from those that have either bad or good experiences with doughnut flavors.
Off Flavors: Play Doh
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Creams? Juicy fruits? Iām a little lost on this one, Iām sorry.
Notes: If you are sensitive to doughnut flavoring like I am, this is one youāll want to avoid. Iām not going to try any lower percentages as I know I will just get the same thing, just maybe weaker.
FRESH COCONUT
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Medium strength, realistic, creamy, milky, fleshy coconut.
Flavor Description: This is a stunningly delicious and authentic fresh coconut. Very realistic meaty coconut, creamy milk, and moderately sweet. Not as sweet as sweetened coconut but a little bit sweeter than natural. Iām thinking the natural sweetness of the VG might be adding a little to it, very very good!
Off Flavors: Slight plastic the first 2 days, then disappeared.
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Most any fruit, especially pineapple, peaches, melons. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos.
Notes: 7% is a really good strength for a SF. I am going to try 1.5-4% in blends. I do love FA coconut, but this one is edging it out I think.
GOLDEN PINEAPPLE
Percentage Used: 7%
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Stars: 3/5
Aroma: Medium strength, tangy, sweet, slightly artificial, canned pineapple.
Flavor Description: Juicy lightly sweetened canned pineapple. Very realistic and good flavor, doesnāt have that acidic tartness you get with fresh pineapple. Could be very versatile depending on the application, but it does have some flavor fade and becomes quite weak after a steep at this level.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Any tropical fruit, especially mangos, papayas, coconut, melons. Cookies, cakes, lighter creams, nuts, brown sugar, cream cheese.
Notes: 7% is too low a percentage for longer steeps. It will require further testing, but itās going to need quite a bit more to maintain strength for long. SF I would say 5-8% if used within 2 weeks and 1.5-5% in blends. For best results I really recommend vaping in 2 weeks or less after mixing.
Compared to CAPās Golden Pineapple, this is very similar in flavor profile. Not as strong or tangy, but also not as sharp and acidic.
GUMMY CANDY
Percentage Used: 7%
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Stars: 5/5
Aroma: Strong sweet tart candy, fruity.
Flavor Description: Yummy! Very vibrant generic fruitiness with a very authentic gummy candy flavor. Sweet and tart, and juicy. This is not like real fruit gummy bears, itās the actual gummy candy. Pretty strong at this percentage.
Off Flavors: Unpleasantly strong artificial and faint chemical taste for the first week.
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Any fruit. Or combination of fruits. Candy.
Notes: This isnāt a SF candidate for my tastes, but I would keep it around 7% if going for it. Iām thinking 2-5% with pretty much any fruit flavors or blends would be really good.
JELLY CANDY
Percentage Used: 7%
Steep Time: 5 Days
Stars: 5/5
Aroma: Tangy Fruit, Sugar.
Flavor Description: Iām getting a generic fruitiness with a hint of tanginess and moderately juicy. The taste is so realistic I swear it feels like itās been coated with sugar. This smells AMAZING!
Off Flavors: Very artificial and sugar is overpowering the first 2-3 days. Steeps out.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Any fruit. Or combination of fruits. Candy. Jams and jellies, doughnut filling.
Notes: I think this will add a candy like flavor to almost any artificial flavored fruit and a jelly/jam flavor to fresh fruit flavors at the right strength. With the addition of fruits I can see it being a very authentic jelly candy in the 5-7% range, and a jam or jelly in the neighborhood of 1.5-3%. If it strengthens much more with a longer steep I will probably bump them down a little.
KIGOLA
Percentage Used: 8%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 2 Weeks
Aroma: Ripe strawberries, kiwi. Sweetness, tanginess.
Flavor Description: This starts with fresh naturally sweetened ripe strawberry, Iām not getting any artificial or candy tones from this one. About mid inhale the kiwi comes out to play, slightly tangy and juicy. The kiwi is also very natural flavored as well, and continues through the exhale while lingering on the tongue. This is very well balanced and both play well together. Itās got a very nice body to it with great vapor production. Itās naturally sweet like fresh fruit should be, not overdone at all.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Any fruit for a fruit salad or mixed fruit, watermelon, coconut, creams, custards, fruit juices and cocktails, fruit smoothies, tropical blends, koolada, sour.
Notes: This is a very refreshing and natural fruit blend. Very simple but a great single flavor at 8%. Iād probably use 6-9% for a single flavor and 2-4% in a mix.
LEMON SICILIAN
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 2/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Mild lemon juice.
Flavor Description: Very faint lemon juice, slightly sweet with a hint of acidity/zest. Lemon concentrate diluted with water. This is almost flavorless at 7 weeks. I will have to try it freshly mixed to see if itās different.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: To be honest, Iām not going to recommend any pairings right now as the flavor is so faint I believe it will be dominated by any additional flavor.
Notes: This is probably another victim of the all too familiar lemon flavor fade. At a guess, I would say use this in less than 2 weeks after mixing or not at all. Further testing required.
MANGO
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Sweet faintly generic fruit. Juicy, tropical.
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep I taste a sweet, juicy, and very mild fleshy fruit. Slightly generic with tropical notes, if I didnāt know the name I wouldnāt be able to figure it out. Maybe it needs a higher strength or longer steep? After 2 weeks this has changed dramatically. It has developed into a very authentic naturally sweet and ripe mango. Not an overly ripe cloying sweetness. Itās extremely refreshing and has a noticeable body with no hint of the skin.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit, especially banana and tropical varieties. Citrus, pineapple, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, coconut, melon, nuts.
Notes: This one needs a longer steep to fully develop so donāt give up too early. For use as a single flavor I would recommend 5-6% for an RDA and around 7-8% for a tank. 1-4% used as an accent.
MARSHMALLOW
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: sticky sugar, faint vanilla.
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep this is give me a spoon yummy!! It tastes just like that plastic tub of light and fluffy marshmallow creme. Slightly sweet, moist, airy, and a light vanilla. At a 2 week steep this has lost that sticky marshmallow crĆØme it had before, and has developed into the most realistic marshmallow flavor I have tasted yet, even down to the powdery sweet outside of the marshmallow and the fluffy but still chewy body/mouth feel. Exceptā¦vanilla. It still seems to have a noticeable vanilla flavor to me, which may put a few limitations on what you can mix it with, but very few as most things taste great with vanilla. Maybe itās the sweetness that I am reading as vanilla? I will be very interested in hearing otherās opinions.
Off Flavors: Vanilla
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, bakeries, desserts. Almost anything.
Notes: Have I mentioned that I love this? And yes, that is very subjective and you may hate it with a passion. Like I hate FA Joy when Iām craving a flat warm beer, like never! This is going to be an amazing additive for sweetness and/or body. If you like marshmallow as a single flavor, I would recommend 6-8% in an RDA and for a tank around 7-9%. As an accent anywhere from .5-5% depending on the flavor or effect you are trying to achieve.
Comparison: CAPās is also very sweet, but is missing that body/mouth feel and doesnāt really taste like marshmallow to me, just generic sweetness. FA is a very good marshmallow, it has a sweet and mild marshmallow flavor that has a fantastic thick mouth feel and body. The marshmallow flavor is delicate and usually overwhelmed easily with the addition of addition flavors. I use it as a sweetener and body enhancer rather than flavor. RF is very similar to FA in that itās a great sweetener and body enhancer with a very mild actual marshmallow flavor. PURās version actually has a moderate to full marshmallow flavor itself along with body and itās not just a generic sweetness. But, as Iāve only tested the single flavor so far Iām not sure how strongly the flavor itself will stand out against other flavors.

MERINGUE
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 6 Days
Aroma: Mild burnt sugar, sweet, slight caramel.
Flavor Description: Sticky sugary sweetness. I canāt taste egg whites (good thing). Moderate caramelized/burnt sugar, no fluffy mouth feel at this point. Still very good and meringues usually require steeping to develop texture. Compared to FA, this one has more pronounced caramelization and less egg white, also less fluffy mouth feel. The PUR has better flavor, but texture is lacking. Will update with further steeping. Would I buy this over FA, yes. Even if it doesnāt develop texture, the flavor is better and I can always add texture with other creams.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any flavor to add sweetness. Peaches, bananas, desserts, cookies, pastries, cakes, pies, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos.
Notes: This is not a SF for me. Iām thinking 2-6% in blends.
Update: The body, fluffiness, and mouth feel did develop more with longer steeping. This one is my preference for Meringue of FA vs PUR. I still have an unopened bottle of TFA to test 
NEW YORK CHEESECAKE
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 5 Days
Aroma: Medium strength, sour cheese, graham cracker, hint of vanilla.
Flavor Description: Itās so yummy. Nothing like any other brands, and in a good way. I swear Iām tasting coconut and graham cracker? Vanilla stands out along with thick cream. None of that sour feet yuck, not a hint. As of now Iām not really getting cheesecake either though, more like a velvety buttery cream coconut cream with graham crust. I am sure that will change with a longer steep as itās only been 5 days. Really surprised at how creamy it is in such a short time.
Off Flavors: Coconut, goes away with steep.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Most any fleshy fruit or berries, no citrus. Cookies, cakes, pastries, donuts, cheesecakes, creams, custards, nuts, caramel, butterscotch, chocolate, crust, peanut butter, vanillas.
Notes: Comparing this to CAP NY Cheesecake? I canāt. CAP has a tangy/sour, very lightly sweetened thick creaminess with a dryness to it. At this point I wouldnāt even describe PUR as cheesecake. I would call it coconut cream pie w/graham crust. For at least the first week But I love it! Would I buy itā¦Yes, repeatedly. Itās a very unique flavor that doesnāt have anything similar from other manufacturers that Iām aware of. Will update after a longer steep.
EDIT: The hint of coconut steeped out. It seems it was the note I was getting from the graham cracker at first that mellowed with time. Iām not sure at what week it went from being Coconut Pie to NY Cheesecake, but it happened. Two flavors in one, S&V is Coconut Pie with Graham crust. Then it turns into a wonderfully thick creamy tangy cheesecake with a more pronounced graham crust than CAPās.
NILLA WAFER WITH MILK
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Medium strength vanilla, milk, animal cracker?
Flavor Description: Vanilla Malted Milk is what I taste. Definitely getting the milk from this with a vanilla malt back note. Iām not getting vanilla wafer from it at this percentage. I am getting a slightly sweet, mildly creamy milk with a faint hint of cookie dipped in milk. Nice body and fullness in the mouth feel as well. Also similar to the milk left in the bowl after eating cereal. I will have to try this out at a higher percentage to see if the Vanilla Wafer flavor comes out more. Very interesting malty flavor that I think will be very versatile in adding different things to a recipe depending on what you mix it with.
Off Flavors: Malt?
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Shakes, cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, pudding, toffee, coffee.
Notes: This is not a SF for me, probably 1.5-6% in blends.
PARADISO
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 2 Weeks
Aroma: Fruit? Vanilla cake? Cream.
Flavor Description: This is a light and bright dessert, although very sweet itās not rich and heavy. On the inhale Iām getting a delicate juicy fruit, I think itās mango or something similar. Following that is a fluffy moist vanilla cake. It has a nice creamy note, almost like a whipped cream topping, itās not dense or heavy. There is a noticeable toasted back note similar to toasted marshmallow, which provides a great lightly baked affect to the cake.
Off Flavors: Mango, lack of coconut.
Throat Hit: 5/10 I do get a moderate throat hit on this one
Pairings: Tropical fruits, papaya, guava, banana, apple, nectarines, coconut. Cookies, cakes, creams, custards, lighter creamy nuts like almonds, tobaccos.
Notes: So Iām a little confused by this one. Itās a very nice flavor, but Iām not tasting any coconut, or a macaroon. This is the description from the website:
āThis flavor is for those who enjoy extreme Coconut concentrations.
For Coconut lovers out there this will be one of your favorites! This Coconut macaroon type dessert/cookie is synonymous with paradise. Try it with other desserts or alone for an all day delight!ā
What I get from this is a delicious white layer cake with a sweet mango filling that is frosted with fluffy whipped topping. With a unique toasted note.
RASPBERRY
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Mild strength, realistic raspberry, ripe.
Flavor Description: This is a very authentic naturally sweet raspberry. Juicy and refreshing without any off or perfume flavors, I can almost taste the berry bursting in my mouth. Not overly sweetened nor artificial at all. Very, very good. Compared to other flavors, I think this is closest to INW Raspberry with itās realistic flavors, but without the slightly bitter/perfume I can sometimes taste with INW. Compared to TFA Sweet Raspberry, this is not as sweet and artificial and doesnāt taste like candy at all. I would positively buy this before either of them.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Apples, other berries. Cookies, cakes, creams, pastries, custards, nuts, chocolate, jams or jellies, cobbler, oats, vanilla.
Notes: Great at 7% for a SF, I am thinking 1.5-3% for blends.

STRAWBERRY (RIPE)
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Strong, strawberry, slightly artificial, faint chemical.
Flavor Description: A very authentic fully ripened strawberry with a natural sweetness, it is missing body. However, it is a very realistic fresh strawberry. No hints of artificial notes or candied strawberries.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Most any fruit except citrus.Especially bananas, kiwis, peaches, melons. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, shortcake, biscuits. Shakes, milk, whipped cream.
Notes: Moderate strength at this percentage, I think this would be good layered with other strawberries in blends at 4-7%. Not complex enough for a SF for my tastes.
STRAWBERRY BISCUIT
Percentage Used: 9%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 2 Weeks
Aroma: Strawberry candy, baked shortcake biscuit.
Flavor Description: First thing that hits me is a sweet slightly artificial strawberry on the inhale, and on the exhale it mellows into that slightly cooked flavor like you get with a jar of strawberry preserves. It lingers a bit on the tongue, and has a very sweet juicy aroma. In the back you can taste a little bit of one of those fluffy baking soda style home baked biscuits. This is NOT a cookie style biscuit. Then itās drizzled with just a touch of sweet cream salted butter. The flavor is definitely strawberry dominate, and the biscuit is amazingly authentic, although Iād like a bit more of it. This has a nice body and mouth feel to it, definitely not flat tasting.
Off Flavors: Slightly artificial strawberry?
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Kiwi, banana, other berries. whipped cream, butter, butter cream, cakes, custards, frosting, milk/dairy.
Notes: I get a lot of strawberry accented with a very small amount of biscuit, and Iād rather have it the other way. I want the full sized biscuit accented with the strawberry. But even through the strong strawberry, the first thing I think of when vaping it is a hot, fresh baked strawberry scone. Iām going to add a bit of Purilum Butter Cream to bring that forward more, and maybe try just a drop of AP to try to bring out the biscuit. I actually think itās a bit strong for me at 9% as well, even though other users have said they like it up to 12%. Iām going to go down to 5-6% as a single flavor and see if it balances out a little better.
STRAWBERRY SWIRL
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 3/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Sweet strawberry candy. Creamy. Not cream. Almost like the strawberry and cream lifesavers.
Flavor Description: Very artificial strawberry candy. A slight hint of creaminess, but not cream. I think itās trying to be a strawberry swirl lifesaver, but itās not. Very generic and very very sweet. At 4 weeks this hasnāt changed much for me. Sweet artificial strawberry candy, still has a light hint of creaminess. Iām at a loss on what else to say about this one.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit. Whipped cream, vanillas, ice cream?
Notes: This is a pretty good strength for a stand alone, maybe 6-9%. If you like strawberry candy you will probably like this. I canāt really think of anything I would use this in for a recipe. Please let me know if you come up with any good recipes with it.
STRAWBERRY TAFFY
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Weeks
Aroma: Medium strength strawberry taffy, candy.
Flavor Description: I didnāt get to test this one at a shorter steep, and so I am wondering if the strawberry has faded over the 7 weeks as is notorious with strawberries. Itās a very good strawberry taffy flavor, but not strong enough at this percentage. The strawberry is there, and slightly more prominent than the taffy. The strawberry note is similar to Strawberry Ripe with an added bump of artificial. Not a hard candy flavor, definitely taffy. Just needs a higher percentage for SF.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Other fruits that are good with strawberry like bananas, kiwi, rhubarb, creams, candy.
Notes: I think 9-12% will be much better for a SF, buy will have to test to know for sure.
SWEET STRAWBERRY
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 21 Days
Aroma: Medium strength strawberry candy, fresh, slightly green, with a hint of artificial strawberry.
Flavor Description: This is a very authentically flavored fresh strawberries with sugar. It doesnāt taste artificial or candy like. The strawberry is in the front of the inhale, with a strong sugar and faint strawberry exhale. It reminds me of fresh cut strawberries sweetened with sugar that you would use in strawberry shortcake. Itās delicious, but I still think I would mix this with another strawberry for more depth as I havenāt tasted one yet that doesnāt improve with layering. Iām also going to try this at a higher and a lower percentage to see what happens, Iām a curious sort. But with how dominant the sugar is at just 7%, Iām afraid itās going to make that aspect worse.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Most any fruit, especially other berries, kiwi, banana, melons. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, shortcakes, biscuits, pastries, cobblers, donuts, gummy or jelly candy.
Notes: Iām thinking SF 8-12% and blends 4-7%. PUR is similar to CAP Sweet Strawberry as the sugar is stronger and more dominant while the strawberry is more of a back note. However CAP is more artificial candy like flavor vs PUR which is more overly sweetened fresh strawberry. I would have to find a less sweet fresh strawberry flavor to mix with it to balance it in a recipe, I wouldnāt like it as the only strawberry component.
SWEET TOBACCO
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Toasty leaf, oak, vanilla, nutty.
Flavor Description: At 3 days this has a light smoky woodiness, very smooth and sweet leaf. Definitely a dessert tobacco, getting a rich caramel and nutty flavor. Itās almost a faint hint of coconut, but probably more pecan? I canāt quite figure it out. At a 2 week steep the nuttiness is the dominant flavor, pecan or walnut? It has a light woody back note with sweet tobacco leaf and caramel mid notes. Iām not getting any noticeable vanilla anymore. Either I was mistaken and it wasnāt there to begin with, or it is has become buried now that the caramel nuttiness has strengthened. The flavors have married together more smoothly with the longer steep time. This one makes an excellent single flavor, Iām really enjoying this.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Coffee, nuts, vanillas, caramels, berries or cherry, other tobaccos, some creams, brandy, whiskey, chai tea.
Notes: As a single flavor Iād mix this at 5-7% in an RDA and 6-8% in a tank. As an accent flavor 1-5%.

TROPICAL BLEND
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 6 Days
Aroma: Medium strength, pineapple, coconut, mango or guava?
Flavor Description: Nummy! Refreshing, juicy, creamy, complex and very well balanced. Fresh coconut, pineapple, guava, and maybe a hint of watermelon? Iām not sure of all the flavors yet, but none overwhelms each other. Itās very smooth, no acidity or harshness that is common with pineapple. Tastes like Iām laying on a hot beach with one of those frosty fruit cocktails served in a pineapple with a cute umbrella.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Anything you would normally mix with fruits. Berries, banana, punch, rum, sweet cream, fresh cream, Koolada, mints, menthol.
Notes: Easily a good SF blend. Good strength at 7-9% range and 1.5-5% in blends. I canāt think of another flavor I have tried that is similar to this for comparison. Would I buy this? In a heartbeat. I can see this being my summertime ADV with and without Koolada.
VANILLA CUSTARD
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 6 Days
Aroma: Medium strength, vanilla, cream, pudding.
Flavor Description: Smooth, creamy, thick vanilla cream with a hint of butter in the back. Iām not getting any egg notes, more of a pudding like flavor and texture, and the vanilla is prominent without overpowering. Surprisingly good and full flavored for such a short steep.
Comparing this to CAPās V1, which is my favorite, this is about equal in strength and percentage. PUR is not as rich and heavy, and doesnāt have the egginess and dark vanilla, in a good way. It is easy to become tired of CAPās at times due to the richness, like eating too much dessert. PUR has a brighter and more prominent vanilla creaminess. Compared to FLV, PUR is not as concentrated 4-6% vs 8-11%. PUR is slightly more vanilla prominent and creamy than FLV, similar in flavor profiles otherwise. FLV tastes a little more mild/watered down/milky rather than creamy in comparison. Would I buy this? Yes, I am a custard lover, and I can see myself using this quite often.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Most any fruit, especially fleshy fruits and berries. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, caramel, salted caramel, butter pecan, butterscotch, cheesecake, cake batter, graham cracker, pudding.
Notes: Iām thinking 8-11% SF, 2-6% in blends.
WATERMELON
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 6 Days
Aroma: Medium strength watermelon Bubbilicious bubblegum.
Flavor Description: Juicy artificial watermelon. This tastes just like the Jolly Rancher Candy, just not quite as strong. I think it will be spot on at a slightly higher percentage. This is also going to be delicious with the Jelly Candy. Very close to the Bubblicious gum as well if there is a bubblegum flavor available to complete it, if it even needs it.
Compared to Lorannās, which is my favorite watermelon candy, this beats it hands down. PUR is much stronger and has that slight tangy bite in the background that is missing in Lorannās, and is more complex over all. It also seems more juicy tasting. Would I buy this? Yes, I would get this over LA.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Gum, hard candy, jelly candy, gummy candy, taffy, spearmint, menthol?
Notes: Iām thinking 9-11% for a SF and 2-6% in a blend.
WHITE GRAPE
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Very sweet, bright candy, grape juice.
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep itās very, very sweet. Itās almost a mild generic fruity candy. Faint white grape flavor with strong artificial notes that taste quite similar to a milder version of the previous tester Gummy Candy. At a 2 week steep the generic overly sweetened fruit candy has disappeared completely. It has turned in an authentic white grape juice. Itās still very sweet as grape juice tends to be, juicy and refreshing. I donāt taste any skin, and this doesnāt taste of fresh grapes.
Off Flavors: Very artificial for first few days.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit blend, cocktail or smoothy. Cranberry, rhubarb, tart fruits will help balance the sweetness of the juice and make a good contrast. nuts, wine, champagne, candy.
Notes: Moderate flavor at the 6% I tested, so probably 5-7% in an RDA and around 6-8% in tanks. 1-5% as an accent.
WHITE PEACH
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 2 Weeks
Aroma: Sweet, fresh fleshy fruit, faint peach, slightly artificial.
Flavor Description: At a 3 day steep Iām tasting a naturally sweet white peach. Ripe without being cloying. Very authentic and it blends very well with ginger At a 2 week steep the flavor on this has not changed very much, maybe the peach has a little more depth and density to it. The flesh of a ripe juicy sweet white peach without the fuzzy skin. Itās a bright flavor, and I almost get a faint vanilla back note? This would be great with vanillas or FA Oba Oba would probably be amazing!
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit. Cookies, cakes, peach pie and cobbler, brandy, ice creams, nuts, vanilla, FA Oba Oba, ginger, cinnamon, creams and whipped cream, caramel, brown sugar, cloves, honey, maple syrup.
Notes: This one will be good as a Shake & Vape or steeped. Single flavor in an RDA 6-8% and in tanks 7-9%. As an accent 1.5-5%.
YELLOW CAKE
Percentage Used: 7%
Stars: 2/5
Steep Time: 19 Days and 7 Weeks
Aroma: Medium strength cake, caramel, and maybe brown sugar?
Flavor Description: At a 19 day steep itās the flavor of yellow or vanilla cake with a slight hint of brown sugar in the back? The aroma is luscious and smells strongly of cake. The little flavor that is present is good but very faint. It has no discernible mouth feel, depth or density. Based on the flavor weakness at 7%, I think this would have to be used in the 10-15% range for a single flavor, and itās so delicate Iām afraid it will be lost completely in mixes.I retested at a 7 week steep. The flavor seems to have faded even more, a mostly generic sweetness with a hint of vanilla that is almost flavorless to me.
Off Flavors: Lack of flavor.
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: I think will get lost in most flavors. If trying to use it in a mix I recommend only other delicate and light flavors.
Notes: If this tasted as good as it smells it would have been amazing.
Comparison: Compared to the well known FW, unfortunately it loses. Itās missing that fluffy yet thick mouthfeel and complexity that FW offers. FW also has a much stronger flavor of I think itās caramel in the background, and great overall flavor strength. PURās at 7% is comparable in strength to what I get with only 1-2% of FW.

BANANA
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Fresh banana, hint of peel or green? Cream?
Flavor Description: At 3 days this is definitely an authentic fresh banana. Itās balanced on the edge of ripeness, just barely past the green yet not over ripe. It almost has a creamy texture to the body, but just the creamy meatiness of a natural banana and not an added cream. Not cloying at all, and not candy.
At 4 weeks this has smoothed out and become a creamy fresh banana without any hints of green. Itās ripe and has natural levels of sweetness, nothing cloying or over ripe. A very balanced flavor, beyond green and before over ripe. There are no peel or green flavors in this.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit, especially those that pair well with banana like strawberry, kiwi, any tropicals fruits. Creams, custards, smoothies, shakes, nuts, honey.
Notes: If you are looking for fresh banana, this is the one. I see it blending well with other fresh fruits. I donāt think it would be good as the only banana anywhere you are looking for a cooked banana like bread or pastries or banana foster. In low percentages may add a bit of layering, but further testing is required to know for sure.
Comparison: Comparing this to TFA Ripe Banana, this is much better for my tastes. The ripe banana has an over ripe almost starting to rot taint for my tastes, where as this is more of a perfectly ripened banana.
BANANASCOTCH CREAM
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Banana cream pudding with a dark caramelized butterscotch.
Flavor Description: Fresh ripe banana, mildly sweet cream. Not a pudding, it doesnāt have the thickness or density. Has a very very light hint of creamy butterscotch. Very much like the butterscotch syrup that goes on ice cream, nothing candy like. At 4 weeks itās an authentic ripe banana. It has the creaminess you get from a fresh banana, maybe a slight hint of light cream? The balance between the butterscotch and banana is very good, with the fruit dominant drizzled with a butterscotch syrup. The butterscotch is moderately sweet, not overly sweet or dark.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Other fruits. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, ice cream, banana split.
Notes: Even though this isnāt a cream, it did seem to become creamier after steeping. Itās ok at this percentage in an RDA, but if using as a single flavor I would use 8-10% for a fuller flavor.
BUTTER PECAN PRALINE ICE CREAM
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Candied butter pecan, rich cream, slight vanilla and brown sugar notes?
Flavor Description: Sweet rich cream with a generic nuttiness. Iām not getting ice cream or a specific type of nut. At 4 weeks this has really turned around. It has developed a rich and creamy butter pecan flavor, not anywhere near generic anymore. The pecan flavor has become more prominent, and Iām getting noticeable amounts of the buttery brown sugary pralines that somehow stands out from the butter pecan base. I donāt get the actual crunch of the pralines, but the crystallized butter and brown sugar candied pecans is so authentic I can almost imagine it when I close my eyes. The density and body has shown a huge improvement as well, moving it from a cream to more of an ice cream.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Cookies, cakes, custards, pies, bakeries, nuts, tobaccos, coffees, Koolada.
Notes: I am really liking this one a lot, but it is slightly weak at this percentage. Iām thinking more like 8-12% for a single flavor. Maybe 1.5-4% for an accent flavor. I see this adding a huge boost to the body, richness and flavor of almost all bakeries, especially danishes or nut desserts.
CARAMEL COFFEE WITH SWEET MILK
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 7 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Medium roast coffee, hint of caramel.
Flavor Description: Medium roast coffee, robust without being bitter. Creamy sweet cream with caramel syrup stirred in. Very good as is, can also see it becoming a great frappe with a little added heavy creams or ice creams with a bit more caramel and some vanilla. This has steeped into a very well balanced frappe. The cream has become more noticeable, and stands up with the coffee better now. The coffee is still robust without being bitter or acidic, and itās all blended together with a sweet caramel syrup. Not caramel candy and not artificial.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Cookies, cakes, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos. Nuts, additional caramel or butterscotch, pralines, butter pecan.
Notes: I am really impressed with this one. Good strength at 6% for a single flavor. Very much tastes like a Caramel Frappuccino from you know who. Without ice. Some Koolada and it will be a great single flavor. This can be easily customized to different tastes. Additional cream, or ice cream or whipped cream, or vanillas, or caramel, cinnamon? Although good at the first 7 days, the cream really comes out to play at 4 weeks.
COOKIE
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 and 10 Days
Aroma: Grain, sugar, butter.
Flavor Description: This is a nice shortbread cookie, with mild to moderate sweetness, slightly buttery. Just a hint of vanilla, the mouth feel is slightly moist and cakey. Not dry or grainy. This requires a longer steep and/or stronger percentage. The flavor is there, but I think it will be lost underneath other flavors other than providing body, so I am interested to see what happens with a full steep.
10 Days: This has surprised me with how much it strengthened with the longer steep time. The depth and strength has developed enough that I believe it will stand up to other flavors . A buttery fluffy shortbread cookie, with the breadiness being prominent rather than dry and crispy. It has a faint caramelization on the end of the exhale that gives it a lightly baked taste, with a sweet vanilla inhale. Its a spot on flavor of Lorna Doone shortbread cookies. Seems a good strength for a single flavor in the 4-6% range. Probably 1.5-3% in mixes.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, pie crusts, pastries, smoothies or shakes, jammy type fruits, icing, frosting, butter, maple.
Notes: I really like this, itās a true bready yet still crisp cookie, buttery and with enough sweetness to say Iām a cookie while still not going to sugar cookie. I donāt get dryness from this like I do with FA cookie. I do like FA cookie as well, butās itās more a generic crispy cracker type cookie, missing the butter and very little sweetness compared to this one.
COTTON CANDY
Percentage Used: 4% and 8%
**Stars:**4/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 10 days.
Aroma: Authentic spun sugar aroma. Sweet sugar.
Flavor Description: 3 Days at 4%: This really surprised me. Even at only 4% Iām getting a light cotton candy. Itās sweet, but not sickening. Texture is not dry, but no body to it. The pink kindā¦lol. Itās only been 3 days, but with a longer steep and higher percentage I this will be an authentic cotton candy and not just sugar. Iām going to bump this up to 8% and try again in another week.
10 Days at 8%: Itās still a light flavor, but no doubt itās an authentic pink cotton candy. This isnāt dry, but still has no discernible body to it. Itās not quite as sweet as the real thing, which is great for me personally. Iām not thinking it will stand up to other flavors well due to the lightness, but further testing is required to know for sure. If you are looking for a stand alone cotton candy then this is it in the 8-12% range.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Anywhere you want sweetening in very low percentages or with very very small hints of mild fruits like strawberry or blue raspberry for a fruity cotton candy.
Notes: I think this is best as cotton candy. Itās a good single flavor as is and doesnāt have the dryness or generic sweetness I have gotten from other brands. Iām not sure I would mix it with anything. I like the pink cotton candy by itself around 10%. Itās limited in use really to a single flavor for me. Maybe I need a better imaginationā¦please let me know what you make with this
CRANBERRY ORANGE
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 4 Weeks
Aroma: Cranberries, slight orange. Bitterness.
Flavor Description: I didnāt try this until the 4 week steep, so Iām not sure how it is as a S&V. At 4 weeks. Tart fresh cranberries is the first thing you taste, following that is a sweet blood orange juice and Iām tasting a bit of zest as well. Although the orange isnāt as dominant as the cranberries, itās balanced just enough to be a noticeable presence. If you have ever tasted that cranberry orange zest relish so popular around the holidays, this is it. In a vape. A very complete flavor.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Iām drawing a blank here. Other citrus? Orange, lemonade, lime. Nuts.
Notes: This is a good strength at 6% for a single flavor. If you like tart, citrus, or the relish you will love this.
CREAM CHEESE DANISH WITH TOASTED ALMONDS
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 7 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Tangy cheese, slightly sweet bread/dough.
Flavor Description: First thing I taste is the cream cheese filling. Itās slightly tangy and slightly sweet cream cheese filling. The almond comes through on the top as well, and the bread is very light and only found on the exhale. It actually has a full bodied mouth feel. The bready aspect does taste very similar to a danish. Not quite strong enough at this point. Definitely unbalanced, both the cheese filling and almonds are very forward, with the danish very light. It could still change with a longer steep. I have a feeling it might be a little better at a higher percentage. Itās a pretty complete flavoring, so I am going to try in the 9-12% range and see if the danish come out to play. The flavors have become more balanced with the longer steep. I donāt think the danish flavor strengthened, rather the cream cheese and almonds seemed to settle into the danish. The danish has developed a little more butter and baked flavor, and the cheese filling is very accurate.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit will turn this into a fruit or fruit and cream cheese danish, avoid citrus. Cookie, cinnamon roll, doughnuts, cakes, creams, nuts, coffee, marshmallow, meringue, icing.
Notes: Overall itās a very good and complete flavor, albeit weak for my personal tastes at the 6%. I liked it much better at 9%. For sure itās more of a one shot flavor, adding accents to it will be much easier than using it as an accent flavor.
DRAGON FRUIT
If this flavor was named bubblegum I would rate it a 4ish.
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 2/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Bubblegum. Generic fruit.
Flavor Description: At a 4 day steep this tastes like pink bubblegum, mildly sweet. Very faint hint of artificial dragon fruit, not unpleasant. Itās missing dragon fruit and that slight hint of tangy slightly sour note.
At a 4 week steep, this is a very nice bubblegum with a generic fruitiness in the back. Maybe at higher percentages the dragon fruit will become more prominent? Itās not a juicy fruit type gum. Itās the mouth watering big square of Bubblicious. The strength at 4% is moderate, but for a nice full flavored gum I would go to 6% and add additional fruit flavors.
Off Flavors: Bubblegum
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any artificial or candy like fruit, mints.
Notes: I am going to use this as a bubblegum honestly. I will try to make a nice tangy watermelon and a grape version of Bubblicious using candy or artificial flavorings rather than fresh fruits. It will be fun to see how that generic fruity back note will accent additional fruit flavors.
FRUIT CIRCLES
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Grain, sweetness, mixed artificial fruit. Fruit loops.
Flavor Description: Iām getting a prominent oat/grain cereal with sweetened mixed artificial fruit. Apple seems dominant to me, with a hint of lemon? Tastes like apple jacks rather than fruit loops. The fruit is artificial, nothing fresh.
At 4 weeks the oat flavor has smoothed out a bit and moved into grain cereal, no hints of Cheerios left. I am still getting closer to the apple jacks than fruit loops side. If I really look for it I can find a very tiny hint of lemon. Itās a very good cereal, you can almost feel the crunch, the fruit is moderately strong but still doesnāt bury the cereal. Itās a very authentic artificially fruit flavored sweetened cereal.
Off Flavors:
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Milk or cream. Maybe a little butter and lot of marshmallow for a cereal treat.
Notes: Pretty good strength at 4%, possibly try it up to 6% and that may turn it more towards fruit loops. Personally I love Apple Jacks so Iām liking this a lot. I would say this is a bowl with 45% green rings, 45% orange rings, and 10% yellow ringsā¦lol
FRUIT CIRCLES WITH MILK
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Sweetness, sour cheese/BA, mixed artificial fruit. Apple Jacks.
Flavor Description: This is the same as the fruit loops with added curdled milk. Fruit and cereal flavor on this one is very weak and buried under the sour milk. Faint oat/grain cereal, sweetened mixed fruit. Apple seems dominant to me, with a hint of lemon? Tastes like apple jacks rather than fruit loops. The fruit is artificial, nothing fresh.
At 4 weeks the curdled milk is gone completely. It has moved to the back and become more of a cream/milk, while the cereal is up front. Weirdly, this comes closer to fruit loops than their actual fruit loops. Like the fruit loops, that Cheerios oat flavor is gone and has moved into a nice grain cereal. An artificially flavored sweetened cereal. I still get a subtle apple jacks flavor, but this does come closer to an authentic fruit loops. The lemon is slightly more noticeable, without being overwhelming or acidic. I am getting hints of the pink and purple circles now, and the milk gives it a nice creamy moistness that also steers it closer to the flavored milk left in the bottom of the bowl category.
Off Flavors: Curdled milk at first, steeped out.
**Throat Hit:**3/10
Pairings: Milks or creams. Butter and marshmallow for a cereal bar.
Notes: This is a mild to medium flavor compared to the same percentage of their fruit loops without milk. The cream component mutes the fruitiness just slightly. Itās not a bad thing, but I do think the flavor would be better around 6-9% as a single flavor. This is actually quite good.
HONEYDEW
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 1/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Honeydew, fresh, unripe, curdled milk?
Flavor Description: At 3 days this is a fresh honeydew, not very sweet and seems dry. Unripe, and it has an unpleasant off taste that I canāt figure out exactly what it is.
At 4 weeks this continues to be a fresh honeydew melon, moderately strong. Itās very authentic but not ripe or sweet. It has a nice full meaty mouth feel and great slightly creamy body, and the dryness is gone. However, I still get that off taste. Let me preface this by saying I have a sensitivity to BA, and I get that famous sour cheese/vomit taste from it. That is the unpleasant off taste I was getting before, and itās still there as a slight back note. Maybe itās slight rind that I am interpreting as BA? Itās not overwhelming, but noticeable. I donāt know if this even has BA in it, but that is the flavor I get from it. If you are one of those that does fine with BA then you should have no problems with this one.
Off Flavors: Faint sour cheese/vomit.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit, especially other melons or tropical fruits. Neutral creams like whipped, fresh, sweet. Coconut, light vanillas, maybe honeysuckle?
Notes: I personally donāt care for this. If you donāt mind unripe honeydew and BA doesnāt bother you then this is very authentic. If you give it a try please let me know what you get from it.
LEMONADE
This is version 2, and is different than the beta JoJo had reviewed.
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Sour, lemon, refreshing, slightly artificial.
Flavor Description: Very sweet yet slightly sour, juicy lemon. Flavor is a very authentic packaged lemonade like Country Time. Which is not a bad thing, itās very good. Not a fresh squeezed lemonade. I also get hints of sour lemon candy with this. Which I also like, vaping it physically makes my mouth water. Surprisingly itās not acidic at all, no rough throat hit that is so common with citrus. At least not with short vaping time. Will have to see what happens with longer vaping.
At 4 weeks the lemon has unexpectedly hung in there and not faded as badly as they usually do. The tartness is still there, but it has mellowed just a bit. The sour lemon candy aspect is gone and itās straight lemonade now. Itās still mouthwatering and very good. However if you like a more tart/sour lemonade that you can almost feel in your jaw, or a sour lemon candy, I would only make enough for a week or 2 at a time. If you like a more mellow version, itās good in 3-4 weeks. I donāt know if I would push it passed that simply because lemons usually disappear with extended steeps.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit, especially berries. Cookies, cakes, creams, custards, teas, frosting, candy.
Notes: I can see this being a summertime favorite for me, and can see it being versatile with any fruits. Also good for a sour candy. Although moderately flavored at 4%, for my personal tastes I will like more in the 6-7% range.
PINEAPPLE CAKE
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 4 Weeks
Aroma: Mild cooked pineapple? Cloves?
Flavor Description: I didnāt a chance to try this until a 4 week steep, so Iām not sure how it changes, fades or not, or is a good S&V. Sweet vanilla/yellow cake with authentic pineapple. The pineapple is sweet and not sharp at all, and also the first thing you taste. Itās not a fresh cut pineapple, itās canned pineapple. But it tastes cooked like you would find in a pineapple upside down cake. The cake takes over on the exhale. It is a cross between a vanilla and a yellow cake. I can almost taste a faint hint of caramel or brown sugar In the cake itself, which swings it slightly to the yellow cake side, yet the vanilla is still present. There is no caramelized/brown sugar flavor to the pineapple like found in an upside down cake. Itās part of the cake component, which is also just grainy enough to have a great cake body, but itās also somehow creamy. Iām not sure where the cream comes from, but it lingers there at the end of the exhale. Itās almost like a butter? Overall a very complex flavor.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Other fruits that are typically good with pineapple. Bananas, coconut, cherry, tropical fruits especially . Cakes, creams, custards, nuts, specifically macadamia and pecans. Vanilla and butter. Whipped cream.
Notes: This is an excellent cake base. Although I think it can be vaped single flavor in the 6-8% range, this will really shine in mixes. I will probably start at 4% as a base, then accent from there. I really like this one, a unique flavor.
SOUR CHERRIES AND ORANGES
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Sour, orange zest, cooking cherries.
Flavor Description: Sour orange juice with a hint of bright cherry, like the light red cherries. Not dark skinned sweet cherries. Itās good, but the flavors are definitely separate, orange, the sour, then cherry. With the longer steep the flavors have really blended well and become cohesive. Itās a very refreshing orange and fresh tart cherry cocktail. The tartness is pronounced, but the base of the drink is sweet. So itās perfect for sweet and tart lovers.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 4/10
Pairings: Almost any citrus fruit. Lime, lemon, lemonade, Koolada.
Notes: I think this is a great summer stand alone flavor. Good strength at 6% for a single flavor, maybe can push it to 8% for in your face flavor, although that might tip it over the edge to chemical. Probably 1.5-4% in mixes as an accent.
STRAWBERRY LEMONADE
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Tangy lemon, sour, sugar, juicy, strawberry.
Flavor Description: Lemon water with sugar. Very very slightly tangy but missing the sharp bite usually present with lemonade. It has a very chemical off note at first vape that fades quickly with further vaping. Very faint artificial strawberry syrup. This is a sweet lemonade versus a tart one. Itās good, but too sweet and not enough sour for my personal tastes.
At 4 weeks this has steeped into a fantastic and tangy strawberry lemonade. The strawberry syrup and sweetness has mellowed a lot. While still slightly artificial, it is balanced much better with the lemonade now and doesnāt overwhelm it, allowing the tartness to come through. It has developed into a nice and well layered lemonade.
Off Flavors: Very slight chemical note at first draw or 2, quickly disappears.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: PG and/or VG? A more fresh strawberry flavor? A blend of berries.
Notes: This is a very good and refreshing drink. Very limited on mixing possibilities though. Itās of medium strength at 4%, probably 6-7% would be better for a single flavor mix.
STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW CEREAL
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Mostly artificial sweet strawberry, sugary cereal type marshmallow, not the fluffy white type. Very slight grain/oat back note.
Flavor Description: Wow. Crispy cereal with crunchy strawberry marshmallows. The mouth feel seems great on this. I donāt know if itās because the flavor is so authentic that itās playing tricks on me, or if itās really there. Canāt wait to hear from others about this one. I havenāt found a rice krispie or oat cereal I like yet. They all seem overly grainy and gross to me. This one doesnāt, it has just a faint hint of grain, enough to say cereal without screaming oats! The cereal is equally balanced with the marshmallows, which are those crunchy artificially flavored strawberry cereal ones, not the fluffy type. This hasnāt changed much from the shorter steep. The flavors are still pretty much as described before, maybe blended a little more? Iām almost getting a tiny creaminess from it that I didnāt notice before. Iām not sure if itās there or not, my taster might be on overload right now 
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Milk or cream? Sweet cream?
Notes: This is probably the best marshmallow cereal I have tried to date. Authentic without being overwhelming in the oats. Itās a mild-medium strength at this percentage. I think for a single flavor, or even with creams I would go to the 8-10% range. Since this changed very little with the longer steep, this will probably be good as a S&V or close to, but I didnāt try until 4 days.
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB SMASH
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 7 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Strawberry with a hint of strawberry jam. Slight chemical bitterness. Hint of flour pie crust.
Flavor Description: Artificial strawberry base with an attempt at rhubarb. It has some similar flavor aspects, but it is missing that sharp tangy tartness. And it has a very noticeable chemical off note. The fruits do blend and balance well without either overpowering the other. Itās just a little closer to celery than rhubarb. Not getting crust at this point, and not sweet or sour enough. With the longer steep this has really blended well and matured into a great blend. The strawberry and rhubarb is balanced well, and has turned into a sweet and slightly tart pie filling. The strawberry has lost any artificial taint and is cooked and sweetened. The rhubarb left the celery behind and is a very authentic cooked rhubarb, but is missing that pronounced tartness. On the exhale Iām getting a light flour crust. Itās very good, but not strong enough to balance the fruit.
Off Flavors: Chemical/celery before steep.
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Pies, cake, creams, custards, jam, peanut butter, cookie, pie crust, graham cracker, ice cream, whipped cream.
Notes: Relatively moderate strength at 6%. Also a good starting percentage when aiming for a pie. Just needs some help with the pie crust.
STRAWNANA SMOOTHIE
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 weeks
Aroma: Fresh strawberry, hint of ripe banana, no peel. Light cream.
Flavor Description: Fresh strawberries blended with fresh banana and creamy plain yogurt. The strawberry is a sweet strawberry, and the banana is perfectly ripe. Not cloying overripe nor green. The balance is very good between the 2 fruits, with the strawberry just a tad more upfront than the banana. Smooth and light plain yogurt provides a mild creaminess. No detectable vanilla flavor, nor tanginess. Very natural level of sweetness for a yogurt smoothie, with all the sweetness originating from the fruit itself and no sweeteners added. At 4 weeks I am still surprised with how good the balance is with this one. The banana has blended very well with the strawberries still being upfront and not buried beneath the banana. The creaminess has also improved with the longer steep.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, yogurt, koolada, menthol.
Notes: With a shot of Koolada this is a very authentic smoothie. I am thinking it would also be nice with menthol or peppermint. The flavor was medium strength at this percentage, I would go for 8-10% for a good single flavor strength.
TOASTED COCONUT CHEESECAKE
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 5/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 3 Weeks
Aroma: Sweetened coconut flakes (baking type) is very dominant. Very slight hint of sour cheese/dirty feet in the back. Not getting any toasted aroma.
Flavor Description: Very good dessert flavor. Sweetened toasted coconut is strong and up front, and itās very authentic. Below that Iām getting a sweet pudding like cream, with hints of vanilla and faint graham crust? Not much mouth feel or density as of yet. It is also missing any resemblance to cheesecake at this point. It is more of a coconut cream pie. Missing any cream cheese tanginess right now. Iām enjoying it immensely, and hoping the cream will pop with a longer steep. At 4 weeks, this has developed into a nice dense thickness similar to a cheesecake. Iām still not getting any cream cheese though. Itās a delicious coconut cream pie, with thick sweet vanilla and coconut pudding and a buttery graham crust. Topped with sweet toasted coconut flakes, and I am amazed at how accurately they hit the toasted flavor.
Off Flavors: Coconut cream pie?
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Cookies, cakes, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, cream cheese, cheesecake, graham cracker, whipped cream, frostings, ice cream, anywhere you want to add toasted coconut.
Notes: Although this doesnāt quite hit cheesecake for me, it is a rich luscious dessert that disappeared very quickly. I will be making more of this very shortly! Itās actually a pretty complete single flavor for me, pretty good at the 6%, although I still think it will be even better at 8-9%. It should be very versatile to work with, as an accent I recommend lower percentages so the coconut doesnāt dominate, maybe 1-2.5%.

VANILLA BOURBON WITH CREAM
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 4 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Rich intense vanilla bean and sweet cream. The vanilla smells more like bourbon vanilla, not the alcoholic beverage.
Flavor Description: The first thing that hits my palette is a rich vanilla cream, followed by a punch of bourbon. Yes, the alcohol drink type of bourbon. Itās not a bright vanilla, more a deep dark vanilla extract. Itās already developing a creamy mouth feel even this early. At 4 weeks the bourbon has smoothed out really well and is definitely the first thing you taste. At 4 days the cream was prominent with the bourbon on the exhale, and that has completely flipped with the longer steep. Smooth bourbon is up front, with a light creamy vanilla back note. Although the cream is still there, some of the richness has faded. The vanilla is very light, but just strong enough to not be buried beneath the bourbon.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: This will be fantastic paired with bread pudding or other desserts as a vanilla bourbon sauce. Or in whipped cream, and most especially tobaccos. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos.
Notes: I think this offers a unique flavor profile. I think it really lends itself best in bakeries and tobaccos. If cocktails are your thing maybe this will be a fun one to play with. This is a good strength for a SF, although not something I would vape stand alone, so Iām thinking 1-3% as an accent.
VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM
Percentage Used: 4%
Stars: 1/5
Steep Time: 3 and 10 Days
Aroma: Sweet cream, vanilla, hints of Butryic Acid.
Flavor Description: Moderately sweet, prominent bright vanilla. Iām getting the cream, but not ice cream. Needs a longer steep. The vanilla bean hasnāt developed and itās a sweet vanilla whole milk or ice cream base. No creaminess present nor noticeable mouth feel. Needs time.
10 Days: The sweetness level is about the same. The vanilla bean flavor itself has developed and lost a little of that overly bright flavor. It has moved beyond the vanilla milk into a definite ice cream base. The flavor is VBIC without a doubt, but there is still very little creaminess and no body to speak of. Flavor is comparable to other brands, but texture is lacking and therefore not comparible for me. I could probably add other creams to it to develop the mouth feel more, but honestly I wouldnāt go to the trouble when I already have others brands that are already balanced.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit. Cookies, cakes, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos.
WILD BERRY HARVEST
Percentage Used: 6%
Stars: 4/5
Steep Time: 3 Days and 4 Weeks
Aroma: Mixed fresh berries. Sweet.
Flavor Description: Strawberry and blackberry hit first. Raspberry, marionberry, and boysenberry? Not detecting any blueberry, but almost a red huckleberry faintly? Tastes like a blend of fresh and artificial fruit. At 4 weeks this has transformed into a very naturally sweet mix of berries. Refreshing and juicy seeded berries, and I no longer get any artificial flavors. Strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry seem the most obvious. A hint of blueberry in the back. Iām sure there are more, but I canāt pick them out individually. These do have a slightly more vibrant and brighter flavor than other mixed berries I have tried. Maybe that is the wild part?
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Almost any fruit, apples, grapes, cranberries. Cakes scones, biscuits. cobblers, cereal, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, fruit drinks, candy, gummy candy. Doughnut , pastries.
Notes: This is a good strength for a single flavor in an RDA. If using a tank I would recommend 8-10%. As an accent flavor maybe 1.5-3% I am already working on a yummy Wild Berry shortcake with a big mound of whipped cream.
