Apparently a Troll post, because anyone who has done business with Walt knows he takes pride and has a passion for his business.

There’s asshats everywhere within this community and a person that talks like that has no credibility what so ever if you ask me.

@Mark_Turner Roger that brother. Gotta love FB, or the web for that matter, some of the time. I think my personal take on MY huge run of RF SC flavors (when comparing to my other recent (OOO), and (PUR) tests), actually came out pretty good. I’ve had more winners from the RF SC line, than the other two combined. Just my .02.

Okayyyyy, so… Been smoking on Sweet Potato Pie that is over a month old made at 3% and it literally tastes like nothing… Going to do a 6% mix later, anyone else have similar results?

Sweet Potato SC 2.5% (5-20-17) – 2 weeks of waiting for my FIRST Sweet Potato vape, never had one before. @ 2.5% probably NOT one of their stronger flavors. At first I was hard pressed to get any sweet potato from it. It’s a nice sweet, slightly darker flavor on the inhale, and there IS some SP on the exhale. I feel it could use more of the SP for sure. Not terrible by any means, but it’s just not as forward as many of their others. Still vaping it trying to decide how to explain it, and it’s really not bad, just needs some intensity. Of course the first thing that comes to mind is Sweet Potato Pie !!! and this would def. MIX into that, just need to boost it up somewhat. Having never had a SP flavor, hard to figure out a rating for this one. Going to leave this one @ 6.5/10.

Dude vaping that stuff would be a much better idea over smoking it… Just saying…
Thoughts?

Back with several more flavors, no great wall of text like last time, lol. All of these were tested in a target tank with .9 coils.

***A caveat about the mints, I drink Rumplemintz straight from the freezer so mild to me might still feel strong to you.***

Spearmint 1.5% Tested at 1 – 2 weeks.

This is dead on for Double Mint gum. It’s refreshing, not too sweet or too strong. I love it as a single and will definitely be using it in candy type mixes.

Mint 1.5% Tested at 1 – 2 weeks.

It’s a clean sweet refreshing mint, very mild; more on the herbal side than the Spearmint but not as green as the mint in the Peach Mint. It’s good as a single but I’ll probably spike it with some menthol as well as various mixes with teas, cucumber and melons.

Honeydew 3% Tested at 1 – 2 weeks.

This is bright, crisp and sweet, more natural than a candy flavor but not entirely authentic. It’s really nice as a single! I can see this going well with the mint, cucumber or any other kind of fruit.

Melon Medley 2.5% Tested at 1 – 2 weeks.

It’s a light smooth flavor but not weak, if that makes sense. It’s crisp and refreshing not overly sweet with just a whisper of a rindy note which makes it really authentic tasting. The honeydew and cantaloupe are prominent with only a hint of a watermelon flavor as far as I could detect. This is lovely as a single. I will probably mix it with other things eventually but for now I’m just enjoying it by itself.

Watermelon 2% Tested at 2 weeks

This is sweet, crisp and definitely a melon flavor, very nice but not as realistic as a real watermelon. Others have reported tasting a lot of rind, I only tasted a slight hint but I could see how it might show up at higher percentages. I detect a bit of a candyish waxey flavor on exhale and as an after taste which isn’t horrible or off putting to me but worth mentioning.

All of these are probably okay as S&V. I didn’t notice much change from week 1 to week 2. If any of these change after a month I’ll update the notes on the recipe side.

So roughly a month later, and I have finally tasted the sweet potato pie that I made at 6%. It was better this time around, but still not anything fantastic. At 6% I am finally starting to get some flavor, maybe a marshmallow type sweetness coming through? Still no sweet potato taste, but I guess I am going to turn it up to 9% and give that a try.

Also, I made a Yellow Burst Candy at the same time at a whole 12%, wow! I felt kind of nuts doing it, but surprisingly, it is what the mix needed to start getting consistent flavor. Going to bump it up again to 15% (Yes, I AM crazy). Would not be doing this if it did not taste better at 12% than it did at 1.5%, 3%, 6%, and 9%. I suppose over-using these flavors is better than them just sitting there, starting at me, unused… But I still have yet to have it mute on me, so if it works, it works. Such a unique Lemon flavor the Yellow Burst provides and I want to see how much of it I can get.

Hello all. Through mixing recipes & reading notes, I’ve come to conclusion that I will revisit some of these flavors at percentages higher than the recommended % on the website. These are the notes that can be found in my flavor stash. These are only my opinions on this flavor. If anyone has any other opinions on this flavor please let me know what your experiences are.

Thank you kindly.

P.S - I missed [ Week 3 testing ]

Those are fantastic notes!! I’m going to take notes on how to better take notes from reading your notes!! Thank you for posting those.

I just "finished"a recipe using this deep fried spongecake and it is my favorite recipe that I’ve made yet. I’m on my 3rd bottle, had to go ahead and make 120mls so it could steep past 3 weeks, which it hasn’t yet. More testing to do, but if I had to call it, 3 weeks is dreamy. I’ll eventually do a proper SF test, but here it is in a mix if you want to check it out:

Thanks! I’m glad you found my notes useful. That’s super encouraging :blush:. I’m not skilled enough or have a good enough flavor memory bank to compare and contrast quite yet to other flavor concentrates of the same name (I’ll leave that to the veterans), however I find that I’m doing better at taking simpler notes just for the flavor itself, now that I have a set of guidelines to use each time:

  • Smell, Taste, & Feel

  • Tester Bottle Aroma | Knuckle Test | Vape Experience (including Flavor Intensity over time)

  • “Notes” section with information I think might be useful for upcoming mixes.

I found that everyone’s notes for a certain flavor have a lot of similarities, but some differ. Other mixers notes are super important, but I know now that I have to SF test for certain concentrates because I may or may not pick up those subtle differences with some flavors or I might be getting a different overall “taste”.

Also, thank you for linking your recipe! This looks boss!
