Pineapple Juice (VTA) 3% (6-7-20) – Pineapple juice, vs. Pineapple ?? Let’s see what’s what. Smelled great out of the bottle, and vaped somewhat as it smelled, but not entirely. This did present as a Pineapple of sorts, but it was surprisingly NOT juicy ? What ?? How can that be ?? @3% it seemed high enough, but this one really lacked any “punch” you’d expect from a PA juice. Another reviewer called it “dull”, and that’s an about perfect way to describe it. Somewhat darker than expected, with low to mid sweetness, but just didn’t have the “zing” it needed to stand out. Nothing off-putting or chemical, just an average pineapple-ish flavor. Very 2 dimensional. Def. use to add to a base, but NOT the star of any Pineapple shows here. 6/10.
Sour Lemon (VTA) 4% (6-7-20) – Lemon, lemon, lemon, who doesn’t need a good lemon ?? Having never tested an official “sour” lemon, was all set to pucker up on this one. BUT, it never happened.
This one @ 4% was surprisingly lack luster. It wasn’t terrible, and there was lemon in there, with some mid level sweetness, but the sour was almost too low to detect. Kinda odd for a sour lemon, BUT, as it was, not terrible, not stellar, and laid back at 4%. The lemon was candied, and almost like a sour lemon candy, but missing the sour. With all the lemons on the market it can be hard to stand out, and this one, doesn’t. Middling candied lemon with little to no sour. Good for mixer fodder. 6/10.
Take it down to 1-2% and give it 4 weeks. Not a pucker sour but definitely sour.
Been using the Milkshake base at 0.85% for a strawberry Milkshake my friend vapes like a mad man. Changed the name to strawberry malt as that is what he keeps asking for but it is not an in your face malt to me.
VTA Milkshake and Pudding base are both excellent, gives you what you are expecting.
Great stuff as usual SD 
Sugarloaf Pineapple (VTA) 4% (6-9-20) – Having just tested VTA’s Pineapple Juice, and having had a “so-so” reaction to it, AND, having used this one many times, was anxious to really solo it. My previous experience in mixes, mirror my SFT here. This one is a Pineapple Powerhouse. No other way to put it. It actually pushed my beloved INW Pineapple off it’s perch as my number one. This “sugarloaf” pineapple should be re-named “sugarLOAD” pineapple. It’s sweet, bright, punchy, and damned delicious. It leans on the sweet side, but not too sweet. Sugarloaf pineapple is a white pineapple, that I’ve never eaten, but I sure would LIKE to now. Very natural, multi-dimensional, and interesting to vape. Nothing artificial tasting to my tastes, and wherein VTA’s Pineapple Juice presented to me as somewhat dull and/or lifeless, this one was the exact opposite. BPD (Bright, Punchy, Delicious), just is really all you need to know on this one. Typically I would think even as good as this is, it will probably be mixed with INW Pineapple, or maybe CAP Golden Pineapple just to round things out, but I’ve used it as the only Pineapple and it worked out GREAT.. So it’s not required, but an option. This one leaned heavier in the mid and high notes, with less lower/darker notes, and it does it well. Hands down a GREAT flavor, and IMO, should be on your VTA Must Have List. 10/10, zero hesitation.
I found a lot of these flavours to be overhyped, reminded me of Real Flavors years ago as I got little out of many of them, especially the fruit flavourings of VTA. But ones I think are superb would be:
Arabica Coffee - Best coffee by a mile for me, the only coffee in fact
VTA Bubble Gum Base - Again the best, does exactly as it says
VTA Pudding Base - NOt my favourite but does a good job genereically for lots of bakery recipies
VTA Sherbert - Molinberry does a decent sherbert but this is still by far and away the best one I have tried
VTA COffee Milk Froth
Jams, fruits, custards and sweeteners I didnt personalyl like any of that I tried and I think I am the only person not in love with the honeycomb flavouring which I find very weak
Thats a scary thought …out of 100 or so i think I use 5
Which five out of interest? I didnt get all the big reviews for them, especially before the super concentrated line. But I did buy a few again recently as I do really like (and more importantly they are so cheap now haha):
Strawberry Milkshake
Sugar Cookie
Meringue
STrawberry Pastry with Frosting
Strawberry Milkshake
Yumberry
Graham Cracker
Condensed Milk
And I need to look , but these are all very good flaves…Where are you buying them from ??? I know awhile back they had some bad batches at BCF and Rover Supply
I am in the UK so rainbow vapes who are pretty much the only people that stock an extensive line of them at all now here
Be careful , I dont know what happened but they had a bunch of bad batches over here …Yumberry is very dark reddish and the bad was clear …
I was going for a vanilla slice but turned out to be a soft serve ice cream cone.
You were right regarding the strawberry milkshake
It isnt bad but definately not the same as before, rest are ok thankfully
What is there buttercream frosting like? I see there are several now like Wonder Flavors etc. Only used Loranns version which was ok but always stuck with Flavorah as its one of theres I like, though use it more as a sweetener than anything else
I get more butter from VTA than the others. Find it fairly flexible if I want to emphasise the butter or vanilla depending on the mix.
If you are talking about Cream Cheese Icing, it’s a while since I used it but that one was a long steeper and found it could easily take over a mix.
There’s no cream cheese in the VTA for me, a buttery cream with hint of vanilla, that’s not overly sweet.
While I would still use FLV the most, it’s more as an accent and sweetener, I find it needs other flavours to get it toward a complete frosting.
Only recently got WF so haven’t really used it much.
the buttercream frosting is like white wedding cake icing. It is firmer and slightly stronger than WF Vanilla buttercream frosting. It is a very good concentrate use it where you want hard icing.
Haven’t tried that, but it sounds like a good idea, thanks for the tip. What a shame I’ll have to start a new basket. ![]()
Oh I love this flavour, would be in my list of favourites for sure ![]()
