Lemon Wafer, Cream Type (SSA) 1% (2-19-22) ā Had to get through two testers, to better decide on this flavor. Wafer, creamy, lemon, check. All present, and tasted pretty damned good together, AND at the low weight of 1%. Sweetness was at about mid-level, and it was plenty strong, with no off notes at this weight. An obvious comparison would be to ā¦
Chemnovatic's Lemon Cream Wafer
Lemon Cream Wafer (Chemnovatic) 7% (7-2-20) ā Iām quite sure with all the hub-bub about rumors that Dinner Lady Lemon Tart used this flavor, and the ensuing Out Of Stock situation at many vendors will leave EVERYONE wanting to know the answer. Good news for you, is I have NO CLUE !!! Iāve never vaped DL LT, so I canāt help you. What I can help with is this flavor, and how it vapes. Having just tested Chemnoās Lemon, itās fairly probable that those compounds ARE in here as well. As a solo vape, this one is very, VERY good. Now, Iām not sure if it truly projects a Lemon Cream Wafer (cookie), but WOW, it IS very good. @ 7%, this could EASILY be considered a One Shot. Itās got plenty of lemon punch that carries through the entire vape, but at the half way point, the cookie starts to peek out, and ride all the way to the end of the vape, finishing perfectly with the lemon. My very FIRST reaction was, āWow, super great lemon, with a cookie, and some custard notesā. Now when I say custard elements, youāre NOT getting the VC slam like from CAP VC, but it feels like itās IN there, just hiding, peeking out from time to time. Very interesting. The cookie/bakery stays relatively linear throughout the vape as does the lemon. Sweetness might be a pinch above medium, and doesnāt come across as fatiguing. There was also a certain āthicknessā that seemed to be in there, that could RESEMBLE maybe some Meringue or Marshmallow, but not high enough to identify, but the āthicknessā could not be denied. Overall, this was a great, full, somewhat complex flavor, and I will run this tank dry. I think itās soo good, that it will go on my must have list for this testing run. To my tastes, the lemon/custard elements set this apart from all of your regular suspects, i.e. CAP Lemon Meringue Pie, VT Lemon Meringue Tart, and WF Flapper Pie. For a really good (basically a One Shot) Lemon Cookie Tart (my words), you cannot go wrong with this. Vape it as is, tweak it a little bit, itās just a win/win all the way around. Is this the SECRET ingredient in Dinner Ladyās Lemon Tart ?? Time will tell. For the purposes of this test, handily a 10/10 .
ā¦ which really took everyone by storm. Now, there were similarities, but also differences. This one had a very nice creamy aspect that kind of road underneath the Lemon, with some wafer/bakery. I actually got a little more of the wafer when smelling it, than when testing it. Still there was enough present to make it believable. The creamy elements werenāt exactly custard, but more (not exactly) pudding-like, and worked in this flavor. Despite first thinking Sobucky just tossed in the previously tested Lemon Sour, it almost had more of a natural overall aspect to it, but with some slight candied notes. Overall, this might fall behind Chemnoās as far as a pure solo One-Shot, but not by much. Just sweet, and tart enough to punch through the creamy notes, but not too much. I could see this one also being used quite a bit, and for numerous bases, for anything Lemon Tart, or LMP-ish. Hard to fault this one, and with only minor take-offs for a slightly receded wafer, but very minor. Not bad, not bad at all. It felt nicely placed @ 9.10.

Peach, Sweet Type (SSA) 1% (2-30-22) ā Wow, how did Sobucky pack soo much Peach flavor, in just 1% ?? They did. At times this just simply reminded me of juicy peach slices in a can of syrup, so āsweetā might not be a bad descriptor. The funny thing was, it wasnāt SWEET, sweet, and felt about mid-level sweet. I was doing a direct comparison to one of my MTL ADV, which is heavy on TPAās Juicy Peach, which was an interesting A/B comparison. This one, although not billed AS a Juicy Peach, had plenty of juicy-ness, but it also had the entire BODY of the yellow peach, which is what TPAās was missing. Iām sure you could go somewhat higher, but if you try this at 1%, you may not want to. Maybe canned peaches in syrup is misleading you to think it was overly sweet, it wasnāt. Maybe with the syrup drained out, would be better. Very natural, not candied, or jammed, but surely you could push it those ways if needed. Jams, peaches-n-cream, cobbler, I can see this one getting a LOT of use on your rack. Iām not a huge fruit fruiter, but I could find about ZERO faults with this one. Yellow, juicy, sweet, natural, and what else could you need ? Easily a 10/10.

Thank you! Iāve been waiting for this. I have a 120 ml bottle of chemnovatic LCW so maybe Iāll just grab a 10 to try it. The thing with chemnovatic is, in my opinion, 1% is very very light. I have a recipe I use at 4.5%. I really appreciate your reviews!

Thank you @Lynda_Marie. My experience has been Sobucky is basically Ultra concentrated, and Chemno is not, and used much higher. Doesnāt mean better or worse, just different concentration strengths !!!

Raspberry, Blue Type (SSA) 1% (2-22-22) ā Does anybody REALLY know exactly WHAT a Blue Raspberry is ?? Hehe, probably not, BUT, thereās QUITE a history around it, and it actually involves Red No. 2, and Blue No. 1. But, it gets deeper, and itās allegedly based on the Rubus leucodermis. Yes, thatās the facts Jack. OK, with all of that āstuffā outta the way, Iāve never really had a Blue Raspberry, thatās actually tasted LIKE a Raspberry, but more often a berry medley, with an almost cotton candy finish. This one was no different. Now Iām no closer to fully identifying exactly WHICH berries were in the medley than before, but suffice it to say, this one was good. Somewhat sweet, and tart, and a tastful, dark(er) berry medley. It did indeed have that almost ākissed by cotton candyā note in there, and the finish really drove it home for me. It was actually quite good, full and present at 1%, and again that speaks to the stronger nature of most of these Sobucky flavors. Even if you TOO cannot fully define a Blue Raspberry, letās just say this one HAS it, IS it, and youāll ENJOY it. Nothing off-putting, and convincingly āblueā (but no, itās not really blue, itās clear). Come get your BLUE on, and let Sobucky take you there. Easily placed @ 9.1/10.

Wow! This is certainly different from any CC with graham Iāve tried. Just opening the bottle I could smell the crust. Itās something more than just graham though? Iām not quite sure what. Some type of bakery, I canāt put my finger on it. The filling isnāt too cheesy at all! I donāt get any vomit from it. Itās got some darker elements to it, like you mentioned, like caramel or brown sugar? I almost feel like thereās more crust than filling, but not by much. The flavor is nice off the shake. I actually threw together a recipe off the top of my head using this, clotted cream, honeycomb crumble, a little shortbread and an accent of Borneo vanilla ,and some caramel butter (WF) I added the clotted cream in because I feel like thereās more crust on this one, not equal amounts. Cheesecake Olympus has more filling than crust, This one, to me is is opposite.
Honeycomb Crumble is great off the shake as well! It reminds me of a Heath candy bar minus the chocolate coating. Caramel toffee-ish maybe some maple syrup?
I mixed CC on Graham at 3% (I know, I took a chance) but I think that was a good starting point for a main flavor!
I mixed Honeycomb crumble at 2% and I donāt think Iād personally go higher than that.
I probably wonāt sft clotted cream because I donāt like testing plain creams. In the beginning I started off SFTāing my creams and I just canāt, it was too much lol boring.
I was googling uses for clotted cream and found one that was called, simply enough, Clotted cream shortbread. Literally adding clotted cream in a shortbread mix. I mixed up a simple recipe of SSA shortbread, clotted cream and (chemnovatic) lemon cream wafer. 
Every concentrate that youāve reviewed and Iāve tried have been great, I think we have similar tastes. I literally come to this forum before I buy a concentrate to see if youāve reviewed it. I sincerely appreciate how much work and effort you put into these reviews. Itās helped me a LOT!

Iāve never had a flavor issue with N80 (btw, Ni is the symbol for nickel).
I do notice heat capacity affecting flavor, though. Too much heat/power on certain flavors seems to āover cookā it. I find the opposite true, as well. Not enough heat and itās just a bland dish. Have you tried experimenting with your power levels? Of course, thereās variables that factor into it like PG/VG blends, etc.
Youāre not alone. I can say the same for myself with certain flavors and their corresponding pcts. Loss of taste and smell are also an age factor, especially after 60, along with allergies, sinusitis, polypsā¦

WOW @Lynda_Marie Iām ALMOST (sorry) through this flavor run, and havenāt mixed with any yet, but once I saw that, I thought, āYeah, thatās exactly what I would doā !!!
Now letās be honest, ANYONE can SAY that, hehe. Itās YOUR creation, but I like, like, LIKE the looks of it. Iāve got the Rhubarb in the tester now, but once I get through these last few, Iām going to MIX that one up.

Rhubarb (SSA) 1% 2-25-22 ā After even BRIEFLY testing this one, I felt compelled to start this review off with no fluff and stuff, no hyperbole, and get RIGHT to it. This IS, the most accurate Rhubarb, I have ever tried. Is it perfect ?? No, BUT itās pretty damned close. As a flavor tester, many times you have to test flavors, that no one in their right MIND would test. Some are out of this world delicious, others are outright terrible, but sometimes, JUST sometimes, you get to some REALLY accurate ones. This IS one of them. Iāve had more than a few, and some just smell/taste like cat p!$$. Great news is, this one DOESNāT lol. HYPER accurate would be pretty close here. What many Rhuās do, is they seem to center around most of the bright, high end notes, and the body suffers. This one seemed to FULLY encompass the entire main body notes that most, if not all others, miss. Wow, because after being rather let down by some, this one really showed HOW it was done. A tick above mid level sweet, and just really tasted like you were eating a sweetened, fresh rhubarb pie with no crust. Sobucky didnāt stop there, as they also threw in some of the sparkling, almost Kiwi like high end, bright notes to not only drive home the realism, but round it out. If I had a nailed down super āpie crustā stone, (I donāt yet), Iād toss this one into is ASAP. Wow, Sobucky did the Rhu right here folks, and if you are in need for maybe one of the best, most accurate Rhubarbs, you should pick this one up. Nothing off-putting, and very good at 1%, with MAYBE a little headroom left, with possiblly 0.25-.0.50 (estimating) increase possible. Clean, accurate, fresh, and punchy, with PLENTY of body, I couldnāt find fault with this one. 10/10.

Again, thank you for your reviews, theyāve helped immensely.
