Weak side? Please explain. A little weak would be OK since this is for a Premium Blend which watermelon is not the dominant flavor. FA flavors are pretty much out, not cost effective. Loranne is out if I would have the mix flavors to get what I need. On BCV TFA Watermelon has very good reviews. It’s a choice between Cap and TFA. Which is more realistic and would not require sweetening?
While we are at this, I need to also replace VSs honeydew. Again, realistic taste and no need of extra sweetening. TFA has good reviews, Cap Mixed reviews. Your thoughts here?
Double watermelon over TFA. Weaker as in I feel I may have to use at higher % than suggested but still good.
Honeydew - I also have VS love it. But … My new favorite is Jungle’s honeydew it is sweet very similar to TFA’s which probably is the sweetest of them all followed by Jungle flavor then Capella honeydew melon.
Amy, I think I have decided to just bite the bullet and buy these 2 flavors from Nicotine Labs (VS). This blend is just too important to be top notch quality since it is one of my premium ejuices. Any other options are going to cost almost or as much as buying the original flavors. Some options even more. If I could trust TFA watermelon and honeydew to do the job that would be the way to go, but I’m not to confident it would work…
PS, Hope they do not piss me off cause they changed the flavors!
Go with your gut dude ! And as far as changing the flavors they claim it’s the " same flavors we loved from Vapor shots " they better not change it bc I love their strawberry and banana as well.
Now if they can stop changing their name that would be nice too. Luckily they email me all their stuff
I have easily replaced these 2 flavors with FW strawberry (wonderful mixer in my opinion) and for the banana I now use TFA Banana Cream. One other flavor that can not be replaced as well is VS Mocha. I decided to discontinue it though. Another flavor I will eventually have to replace will be their Black licorice. I use it in a menthol mix so I hope I can find something to replace it…
I haven’t tried their mocha, and as for FW strawberry it’s good too and most certainly Banana cream TFA is a staple for me too !
Hmm they may be getting some of my $ after all here soon. They have a sale going on. I forgot what it is bc my darn email is flooded w/ vape email with specials for the 4th. ( I am Not complaining )
I use the flavor note section often as a reference. It’s given me a good starting point for percentage of a flavor to use in a mix. It’s worked out pretty well so far.
One exception that it steered me wrong was malted milk (TFA). The average use in a mix was 2.9% I used that much in a berry/banana mix that was flavorful and good just a touch on the sweet side and needed a little something. Adding malted milk muted out all flavor. It was completely flavorless. I’m not saying malted milk (tfa) is a bad flavor but one I’ve now learned to be cautious of in the future and will be using very minut amounts.
That is quite correct. I recommend no more than 2% but many mixes maybe even less. I ran into that problem as well when I first purchased the Malted Milk. I love what it will do for the flavor of a mix but as you know, you must be careful…
The Inawera Rum (just plain “rum”) is an excellent choice for a rum flavor in a mix. It’s a “clear rum” type flavor. Mixed at 3% to 6%, it will knock your socks off! A bit of steep time is required, but it’s worth the wait.
I’ve tried a couple of different Jamaican rums but they don’t have the same kick.
I’m anxious to try the Inawera Rum as well. I have a collection of Rums and coconuts…constantly on the hunt for the best duo. I have FA and if you’re looking for a good, spicy dark rum, it’s great…like Kraken. If you’re looking for a Captain Morgan, it’s not. I paired FA Jamaican Rum and Coconut and it was straight up Captain Jack (Sparrow, not Harkness) stranded on the beach with nothing but coconuts and old pirate rum. LoL. FA flavors are very authentic and I was going for more of a Captain Morgan coconut rum…not so much. That being said, they’re both VERY good if you know what they are and what to use them with.
