Strawberry, Sweet Fresh Type (SSA) 1% 2-27-22 – Well, just so you know these reviews are legit (as if !!!), not EVERY one can be a winner, winner, chicken dinner. If they were, wouldn’t trust me, hehe. This one, MIGHT not be one of the winners, BUT, I encourage YOU guys to try it and tell us what you think. Overall, it presented as an almost “Pink Candy” type. Now it can always be POSSIBLE, that increasing this flavor might help it break out. Because of all of the Sobucky’s I’ve tested, and at this low weight, I’m going to suggest not, BUT, I may re-test it @ 2.0% later. This review will be at the 1% testing weight. This wasn’t an off-putting flavor, but presented as more of a blurry pink flavor if that helps. Could surely be used as a filler/baser, but as a solo’d SB player, it didn’t push everything you needed. About mid level sweet, and it wasn’t a bad flavor, but just didn’t really deliver the honest, fresh, punchy strawberry. If I re-test @ 2.0%, I will ammend this review. Felt fair to place this @ 5.5/10.
Gotta say thanks @SessionDrummer for doing these SSA, man there is some bangers in there, for me the Cola is finally an outstanding Cola flavor, I’ve tried cherry, lime, creamy Cola, it’s like, toss the other colas I have, Great! Then 2 winning cherries, both great! Very thanks!
Watermelon, Taffy Type (SSA) 1% 2-27-22 – OK people, LAST ONE on deck in this series. Can we go out with a BANG ?? Taffy ? Candy ? Taffy Candy ?? Let’s just see. Diving into this last one, it did present as very watermelon-y, and the type kind of varied between an ALMOST taffy, into more of a candied WM. I think it was more candied, as there was a tartness to it, that you typically get from candied, and not so much from Taffy-d. It wasn’t a FULL on candied, but if you’re looking for a pure taffy, this ain’t the one. Now, it was actually quite good, and plenty strong at 1%. It straddled the real vs. artificial pretty nicely, and was a tick or two above mid level sweet. Nothing off-putting, and it was convincing at this testing weight. What was interesting was the tartness is what kept it interesting, AND, at the same time, kind of pushed it OUT of the taffy lane. “Yeah, but Taffy IS Candy”. I know, hehe, I know. The artificial vs. natural notes were also interesting, as it lead with the artificial, but definitely finished much more natural, but with a nice sweet, tarty punch on the way out. You might even be able to pump it up to 1.25-1.50% without blowing your face off. As opposed to a two dimensional, more boring watermelon which would quickly become mundane, this one really did keep your interest, and I personally blame the sweet and tart finish. Nicely done, BUT, not a super “taffy”. I’ll mark it down for not a lot of real taffy-ness, but still leave it high, as it could almost be used solo. Felt pretty good at a solid 9/10.
As always thanks out to @wllmc for sending these flavors out to review, and make sure to get yours …

That list really brings it home to me how much time,effort and cash you must spend to complete these reviews.
I can only imagine how many people read your reviews and don’t appreciate everything that you do.
I for one do and will say thanks for them and throw another one in from me for good measure.
Hehe, I started thinking the SAME thing once I started adding them all.
Thank you @Gazza7. I don’t know how many people read them, but I hope that it just helps them, none the less.
Yep THANKS@SessionDrummer a big job most appreciated by me also so many time I pick up a flavour and think what’s it going to be like and I go straight to your reviews ,saved me shed loads of time
Keep up the good work m8
Must admit I did do some testing and then thought just go with what the man says he’s done the job
Watermelon Taffy is my new jam I love that stuff, it reminds me of those watermelon stick taffys that have the little black seeds in them. So friggin good
Nectarines (SSA) 1% (10-11-20) – This one smelled almost spot on in the bottle, and vaping it revealed a very light, airy nectarine flavor. I almost got more of it smelling off the bottle than I did in the vape. Maybe I’m test blind to Nectarines ?? Actually added 2-3 drops directly into the tester tank, mixed, and it improved slightly. Either I’m partially blind to this flavor, OR, it’s just a very light flavor. It did taste very natural with some good citrus notes, and almost some citrus oil (but only a smidge), and plenty of juicy-ness. Sweetness was lower than mid-level, and I kept thinking of how clean it tasted, but that could have been from it’s light airy-ness. If any of you test this, and get a more full on nectarine, reveal the secret to me. As it was, it was indeed a very clean, accurate nectarine, but for my tastes, it was just very light, and airy, and would be easily overcome in a mix, unless boosted. Very good, but very light and delicate at the same time. Punching it at 6.75/10 .
In reference to your review of SSA Nectarines and your request therein I’m currently SFT this one.
I thoroughly enjoy TFA Nectarines so this one was a no brainer for me to try and I’m glad I did.
I agree with all that you said and don’t find the flavour full on as you suggest but do find it enough and believe it to be a welcome addition to my stash with heaps of possibilities.
As to your request nothing revolutionary as I simply mixed it @2%! But I taste nothing artificial or chemically at this percentage and am thinking it could be pushed higher as a SFT.
I wouldn’t have bothered you with my thoughts but as you made mention in your review I decided to add my 2c worth.
@Gazza7 that’s great. I haven’t had time to re-test any of these, but @ 1% I did feel like it needed just a bit more. Sounds like 2% did it.
" It’s the best , Jerry ! The best !"
