I wanted to see if anyone else has found this to be true:
I created a Banana Pudding recipe many months ago, and it was good. But, when I ran out of Creme Brulee VG RF, sold as Northwest Flavors from ECX, I replaced it with Creme Brulee VG RF from diyvaporsupply. I made a new bottle from the same recipe, but with the replacement ingredient from the different vendor. It was wayyyy off! Noting that this was the only difference, and it’s a main ingredient, I went back to the Northwest flavor from ECX, and it is good again.
I figure the two are different ages and are stored and re-bottled with different methods, so it makes sense.
If anyone is looking for this flavor, I definitely recommend the ECX version. It’s more pudding/ custard authentic. It is also far better, IMO, than its RFSC equivalent. (Edit: I might be to blame for the RFSC failure, as I didn’t thoroughly test a wide spectrum of %s, just one sft. RF has assured me that it is the same combination of flavor components but in a different base, which would require a different method to mix. )
Anyone notice this with other flavors?
