Butter Crisp SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – Another 2 week steeper and another HIT for Real Flavors. Having JUST finished tested the condensed milk (wow, that’s a TOUGH act to follow), this one is also very good. The butterfinger/butter crisp flavors come through quite nicely, with nothing overpowering, but a very buttery, crispy, slight chocolately mix. Nice and rich, without any off notes, or issues. I have never vaped a butter crisp (butterfingers) flavor before, but this one sure tastes good, and accurate. Chocolate is VERY hard to get right, and although it’s not the main flavor here, what they came up with is very nice. Very solid 9/10, with maybe only 1 taken off, JUST because it didn’t hit me QUITE as hard as the CM did, but a very good flavor.

Am going to try and push out a few more today, but don’t want to blow out my dental stitches (yes, they DO suck) while doing so. I’m still VERY afraid to try my original Cheesecake after sniffing it, but that’s MY fault, for mixing it @ 2.5%. As many of you above ^^^ have posted, we need to post it ALL. Good, bad, great, sucky, just post it all. If we DON’T do that, then what’s the point.

oh 2.5 will smell and taste like a laundry basket - dont vape it it will spoil your taste for ever lol

That one is another strong one - in a mix .5 with 1.2 sweet cream and 1% graham is a good cheese cake base

Hehe, I just have to make sure that I take credit for MY screwups, and not blame Real Flavors for it. I will try and cut it waaay down, to maybe 0.5% and let it re steep for a bit. It is a SCARY smelling bottle @ 2.5%. :open_mouth:

As an sf it is very heavy on the cream cheese it needs a little help to make it a good cheesecake flav but it is a good flav.

Blueberry Pastry SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks steep this is DEF. a blueberry mix. Gave the RF SC BB 10/10, and this one is different but not that much. Still has the real juicy blueberry flavor, with something else. It’s not screaming ā€œHey, I’m pastryā€, but is seems to have that effect. I think people’s perspective on ā€œpastryā€ can vary wildly and I’m no different. Def. NOT a more obvious INW biscuit, or TPA pie crust, but much more subtle. Overall mix is very good, nothing fake, or overpowering, just not getting as much pastry as I would like, and will go 7/10 for that reason alone. Great flavor, just not getting enough pastry.

DONT taste that , do not vape that , i swear to you its too high , just dump it and start over low , i did mine at 2pct and it was the worst thing ever obviously it wasnt because the flavor was bad just way too high so beware

lo @SessionDrummer really liking your feed backs on these flavors. btw have you tried the V1 of Bread Pudding as of yet? I mixed at 3% just over a week ago, although I am tasting the vape, seems abit weak to me (although my taste buds may be a bit out of wack right now, seems most things are tasting about the same).

@CallMeTut thank you very much. I was hesitant to post any reviews, because I’m not a flavor tester tester, just a vaper that vapes a LOT !!! Sure it can be a PITA to mix all this stuff up, bottle, tag, steep, test, dry burn, cotton, test, etc. but hopefully some of the info will help a few out there. Really hard though as everyone’s tastes are different, but, I continue, none the less.

I did test the v.1 Bread Pudding, here’s my old notes…

Bread Pudding SC 2.5% (4-20-17) – After 2.5 week steep this one was an overall even, sweet mix. Wasn’t really getting much bread pudding, and no real standout flavors. Hard to nail down what it takes like. Could have been bread pudding, but not clearly so. Could probably see this as a mixer/base. Doesn’t mean it was bad, but takeaway wasn’t a ā€œOMG, this is bread puddingā€ is all. As a bread pudding after 2.5 weeks @ 2.5%, would have to go with a 6/10.

nods, didn’t know if ya had played with it after that…
I’d agree that even at 3% it seems weak as a SF juice, but that is perfectly okay, the VG version I’m using at between 10 and 11% if I need to push my SC version up to even 5% it wouldn’t bother me a bit.

That quote seems pretty silly imho… you vape which gives you an official opinion on if you like what your vaping or not, good or bad (on what you’ve vaped)… you may be told that you might not of liked something because the percentage was too high or low, but even then, it’s you vaping it… the percentage may have been just right FOR YOU and ya still didn’t like it. I just don’t read one persons posts, cause like ya said we are all different.
As I’ve posted a few times… I can’t touch Coconut extra… it’s just a killer for me, but I see it in tons of mixes, so obviously others like it lol

I too see a lot of the coconut extra being used, and it’s not repulsive (I think) but to me it’s almost got a heavy oily/greasiness to it. Def. NOT my first choice. Is that what you guys are getting ?

Outta likes (again), … but I’m still liking !!!

Deep Fried Spongecake SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks+ steep @ 40w. on the SC RDTA v.1 this one really tastes good. I had assumed would just be some vanilla variant, but it actually tastes like a Twinkie, … errrrr, ummmm, Spongecake. Was actually surprised by this, and am not sure how they did it, but I’ll take it. I don’t think I’m getting much deep fried, but that is OK by me, because the Twinkie really shines, tastes accurate, and mouthfeel is very good. Nice twinkie vape. Smells, tastes, and room notes all the same. VERY tasty. Typically I rate per the name, and although this doesn’t give me any deep fried, the accuracy of the Twinkie forces me to go with a 10/10 JUST for the twinkie. Twinkie/spongecake lovers rejoice, it is here !!

For me I had an issue with juices I made (with the coconut extra) would all taste really raw and strong, kinda hard to explain the taste I had I want to say raw coconut pulp (from an unripe coconut and you scrape the inside meat, but very high flavored (I lived in Panama CZ in the late 60’s early 70’s and use to go get coconuts right out of the jungle as a kid) I do know the taste of a coconut). It took me a while to narrow the flavor down as coconut it is that strong it didn’t even resemble coconut, it was/is just my taste buds or something, I guess. I tried dropping the (coconut extra) all the way down to under .25% and still if it is in a mix, it’s as if I was still using it at 3% or whatever.
I do have the Coconut SC. Mixed at 1.5% has a nice flavored texture that I can see used in a wide variety of juices, I have no problems with it and so far it hasn’t tried to overpower other things I have mixed it with.
