Aaaaaand, thank you. Much appreciated.

Order has been placed!!!

I really canā€™t wait for them to make a super concentrate of their yellow, red, and orange burst candy. @Walt_RealFlavors, any estimate on when those will be arriving?

Well my initial thoughts are hit n miss now I have tried a few. To be fair I mainly ordered flavours I havenā€™t tried at all before, or ones other companies offerings I havenā€™t really liked, so that leads towards a more likely negative outcome, but:

Apple - I have only ever really liked FA Fuji, no others have worked for me. This is a pretty good one, more like apple juice from a carton

Blue Raspberry - Never tried one before as blue slushies not appealed to me to vape. So I cant compare to othersā€¦but I really like this, sweet and smoothā€¦and yes I ended up making a blue slushy with FA Polar Blast and enjoying it

Blueberry Acai - This is authentic, but pretty weak for this line and got lost in mixes for me, I would use 3% in a mix as a front note using again.

Brownie - Read fading issues, only tried it after a week. It is good though not as good as I expected from others reviews on here. Unlike other brownies I have tried there are no off notes in it

Bubblegum - Smelt nice, has mild hints of pink powdery bubblegum, VERY mild, INW YC bubblegum is still by far the best, very dissappointing this one.

Butter Toffee - This is a pretty good one, sweet and thick tasting toffee if that makes sense. Also anyone in the UK, this works well with Chefs/Cupcake World Clotted Cream Fudge

Cake Batter - Pretty good, not as sweet as I expected, think this will be a good booster though

Grape - Not tried many grapes, FA Grape Concorde was very dissappointing for me, this one however is fantastic, bold strong and authentic grape juice, very impressed

Oatmeal Cookie - I struggle tasting biscuit flavours as actual biscuits and feel the same with this. It is good, lot of potential but I still feel it needs other spices and biscuit flavours added to it in a mix, also cereal 27 I think would help. This will be one will end up great for me or frustrate the hell out of me in recipes I think.

Pancake - Best pancake I have had, and fortunately the maple in it isnā€™t too heavy, sweet or overpowering. In the UK a pancake is what you call a crepeā€¦we donā€™t want maple syrup on our pancakes! This is very good though, not my kind of flavour profile and Iā€™m finding myself trying to add really sweet fruits on top of it because of that.

Pomegranate - Is authentic, again one of the weaker SC concentrates to me. Is good but I can now see why I havenā€™t bought any pomegranate concentrates before as it just isnā€™t something I can see myself using much.

Pumpkin Pie - My mum is an awful cook but she actually makes a really nice pumpkin pie, this isnā€™t even close to it, just a load of spices and cream this is to me and no pie. Poor.

Souffle - This is a strong one, wasnā€™t sure what to expect from thisā€¦but I love it, totally different bakery cake flavour to anything else I have tried. This and the grape are 5 stars for me so far.

Yumberry - Like it, donā€™t love it. I think from the description, reading this thread and someone describing it as tasting pink I was expecting a bright, sweet fruit. To me it is more a darker berry so probably not mad on it as it is different to what I was expecting and hoping for.

In summary I think there is something for everyone in this line. Personally like the VG ones they are getting over hyped, but with more worthyness. Finding a couple of great flavours from buying what I have is definately a success

Iā€™m gonna give the Souffle a go today, you think itā€™s a definite ā€˜cakeā€™ flavour?..Iā€™m trying a ā€˜Birthday cake shakeā€™ recipe today and I may try this instead of yellow cake/funnel cake mixā€¦?

No, spongey and thick but more savoury pastry/doughy, would prob add a great twist on a cake but not a cake flavour in that senseā€¦actually that makes no sense haha. It is very different. I would try it on its own first, I would prob put it closer to pancake than cake if anything as a profile.

I am not sure but I first noticed it in the Baklava and more recently in some of the v2 flavors.

He said the entire VG line should be available as SC on the site after this weekend. Looks like they didnā€™t make it in last night but hopefully he will finish updating the site today.

Iā€™m trying the rice pudding right now. I mixed it up at 3% yesterday and Iā€™m vaping it in my baby beast with a stock coil 0.25 ohms at 36 watts on a baby alien. Iā€™m getting a pretty decent rice pudding taste from it. Itā€™s weird because every couple hits I taste that yeasty taste. Itā€™s a very mild yeasty taste that I could deal with. It kind of reminds me of the vg cinnamon custard with less cinnamon and more mouth feel. Itā€™s a pretty good flavor. I just wish the yeast werenā€™t there but I guess thatā€™s the ā€œriceā€.

OK @Walt_RealFlavorsā€¦ I have been waiting very patiently for this mysterious holy grail of vanilla flavors @Ken_O_Where keeps speaking of. I have a few recipes I made with MF Vanilla and I am no longer buying their concentrates. I am wanting to remix these with your vanilla. Any idea when you might have another vanilla available? I really want to get these mixed so I may end up buying some other vanilla to throw in these recipes for now.

Is it bad I have no clue how they do it either haha.
