Real Flavors Super Concentrates Tasting Notes (Part 2)

Oatmeal Cookie SC 2.5% (4-9-17) – After a 2 week steep the overall flavor is quite good. Not sure if @ 2.5% I’m getting a full OMC, but def. sweet, smooth, bakery-ish type flavor. Not bad at all, not stellar @ 2.5% @ 2weeks. Will re-mix at higher rate and re-test later.

Pancake SC 2.5% (4-14-17) – WOW, this tastes like Pancakes !!! Lovely buttery, syrupy pancakes. A little sweet, but that’s what happens when you put syrup on them. Very full and nice body. If you want pancakes, this one is for you. 10/10

Peach SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks steeped and this one is a very fullfilling vape. Strength, sweetness, fullness all very good. To my broken down olfactory senses I’m not truly getting a Peach, it’s more of a fruit-ish pie filling. Smelling it I think it has more Peach, but vaping it just seems like a good fruit pie filling. My current fav. peach is TPA Juicy Peach and although mixing it @ higher percentages, is SMACKS you with a Peach brick to the face. This one is just seemingly more of a nice fruit-ish pie filling. Might even resemble apple to some degree. Sure to be a solid mixer, but as a stand alone Peach, giving it a 6/10.

Peanut Butter SC 2.5% (5-5-17) – 2 weeks steeping, artificial fake tasting like so many others, or a natural tasting authentic PB ?? The latter. This is a very natural tasting peanut butter. Not overly dark or toasted, but a sweeter, creamier medium peanut blend. Not a hint of artificial or fake tastes to this nose. To me, was very similar to a Payday candy bar, with very little of the nougatt. Not a lighter overly creamy, and too sweet like small PB crackers. Having been turned off by most other PB, this was a very welcome change. Just sweet enough, maybe a hint of salty, and creamy goodness. 9/10.

Pumpkin Pie SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – After 2 weeks was looking forward to this as I love PP. This was a strange one for me. Sometimes when testing you immediately get first impression that sticks, and it did here. My first reaction was thin. Fresh cotton, coils, saturated wicks, check check check. It just seemed really thin, not weak per se, but a thin feeling/tasting mix. It smelled more like PP than it tasted. Some spices, maybe a hint of pumkin, but no real creamy, thick pie, and not sure on the crust. Higher % help ?? Not sure. As it stands as a single flavor @ 2.5% as a PP, I’m forced to go with a 3/10.

Raspberry SC 2.5% (5-19-17) – 2 weeks steeping to dare to try another Raspberry as I’ve had quite a few that always had some perfumey/chemically aftertaste. This one SHOCKED me, as there were NONE of them present. The first few initial vapes I swore I could taste the little seeds. WOW, don’t get that often. It became less prominent throughout the tank, but interesting none the less. Tastes very ripe, but not too ripe, sweet, but not too sweet, and just plain good. Might not quite have the KICK that INW Raspberry has, but not bad as some people find that off putting. Simply a very good, natural tasting tart/sweet raspberry. 9/10 because it might need a booster punch.

Rice Crispy Treats SC 2.5% (4-29-17) – 2 weeks of HARD waiting to test this one, as I love RCT’s. Smelled it while filling tank, and it smelled GOOD !!! Been clouding with it for 10 minutes and it is another very good, even mix from RF. I cannot detect individual components i.e. marshmallow, butter, rice crispies, but it is just a very good blend of all of them as far as I can tell. Buttery sweet on the inhale with perhaps some mallow and maybe a smidge of rice crispy on the exhale. What would I add (if anything) maybe a more pronounced butter and rice crispy, but even that might not need to happen. Very solid 9/10 for this one. WILL be finishing the tester tank on this one.

Rice Pudding SC 2.5% (4-30-17) – 2 weeks steeping and ready to roll. As others have mentioned it’s not as strong of a flavor as others, but overall very tasty. I don’t know HOW in the hell you’d make a flavor taste like rice, and I didn’t get much of it in this mix. It was almost like a lighter, sweet milky pudding but without the rice. Very good mix as a whole, nothing overpowering, sweetness good, and even mix, just missing some rice. Giving this one a 7.5/10.

Root beer Old Fashioned Style SC 2.5% (5-13-17) – 2 weeks of resting before testing this one. Was hesitant to buy this, as I have never craved vaping Root beer, and didn’t want that to color the review, but tried it any way. As far as a vape goes, it’s a VERY good root beer. This being the “old fashioned” I think it is very spot on and clearly has the old fashioned edge to it. Very dark-ish and “rooty” to me. Not sure where I would use it personally, probably a root beer float for sure. Haven’t tried the other root beer from RF yet, but this one, is dead on for what it claims to be. Not to sweet, very flavorful, with an old fashioned kick. For you root beer heads 9/10 on this one.

Shortbread Cookie SC 2.5% (5-13-17) – 2 weeks of waiting revealed a very good cookie. It’s not overpowering @ 2.5% and could probably go a smidge higher. It’s not dry like FA Cookie, but a very good full shortbread cookie taste. Not yeast or biscuit here, yet a good cookie, none the less. As a single flavor it feels very solid @ 8.5/10.

S’mores SC 2.5% (5-6-17) – 2 weeks of waiting for my FAV. ejuice flavor. I AM a S’mores junkie/Connoisseur which means no one is harder on a S’mores flavor than me, or pickier, so take this into account. I had just had my high hopes dashed with FLV S’mores as (usual) there was an off putting note in it. The RF SC however did NOT dash my high hopes, and was a very GOOD S’mores flavor. I never got any individual notes/flavors, but a very good blending. The choco had NO (that ain’t easy) off putting/chemical notes at all. @Skullblade789 has been helping me narrow down my obsession, but as far as an all in one S’mores flavor, it’s the best I’ve tried, and I’ve tried most of them. Probably never find a perfect one, but this is an easy 9.5/10.

Strawberry SC 2.5% (4-17-17) – 2+ weeks steeped, and this is a very good strawberry. I’m a huge Strawberry Ripe fan, and am trying to decide if it bumps it out of 2nd place or not, tough call. Might not be quite as good as INA Shisha SB, but it’s in between Shisha and Ripe for sure. @ 2.5% it was very full, strong, and tasty. Doesn’t have the “ripe” of SB Ripe, but it’s got something extra in there, Pectin, Jam ?? Not sure. No clue on how/if it fades with time, but IMO as a SB giving it a 9/10.

Strawberry Milkshake SC 2.5% (4-15-17) – 2 week plus steep, this is a nice strawberry variant. Having not tried the Strawberry yet, can’t compare/contrast to it. Might just be me, but I don’t get much of the milkshake on this one. It’s tasty, but not sure if I could ADV it or not. Could work with other flavorings maybe to increase the “shake” part.
Delicious tasting strawberry, maybe a hint-o-creme’ish. 7/10.

Strawberry Rhubarb SC @ 2.5% (6-3-17) – Trying to remember years ago the last SR pie I had while waiting 2 weeks for this one to test. I loved the RF SC SB so wasn’t sure how much different this one would be. Initially vaping this proved it to be another very good flavor. Strawberry is in the front of the mix but with something extra. I had feared it would be just like the SB, but it’s def. different, and in a good way. Like the SB, some sweet, a little tart (not much) and with the rhubarb added in, you can def. think of eating a SR pie (no crust just the filling). I’ve not tried the SC Rhubarb yet, but from this mix, I’m guessing it’s going to be good. @ 2.5% it’s quite good, and doesn’t leave you wanting. As with most SB, can’t add anything regarding it’s fading or lack thereof, but as a single flavor @ 2.5% @ 2 weeks, I can’t find fault with it. 9.5/10.

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.

Vanilla Custard SC 2.5% (4-11-17) – 2 week steep and the first take away was more of a vanilla creme, much like the Dunkin Donuts Vanilla Creme donut with the white filling. Maybe even has the white confectioners sugar on top. Very good flavor, not getting much custard, but still very tasty. Probably one of the better vanilla’s out there. Unsure if increasing % or steeping longer would bring out any custard notes. As a custard I give it 6/10, but as a vanilla creme I’d give it 10/10.

Vanilla Ice Cream SC 2.5% (5-6-17) 2 weeks of rest for this one revealed a pretty good ice cream. Have had not great luck with some of the other brand’s VIC, and this one will end up near the top of them. Finger test, it’s ice cream, vape, sweet and creamy on the inhale, and ice cream on the exhale. There’s something that lingers on the tongue afterwards, not sure what. Not getting any “malted” in there, so it’s not a super “thick” feeling flavor, and mouthfeel is 75% of expected. I think in the end, it’s a good Vanilla Ice Cream, with maybe just not enough of the thickness that I would have wanted. Very good, and feel good leaving it at 8/10.
