You raise some very good and valid points which all make sense.
I just looked again and found that you’ve now go to log in to get prices too.
All contributes to a business that doesn’t seem very customer friendly.
I’m glad I’ve tried a few now and some I would definitely buy again but who knows what the future holds.

Or they could just change the company name to something that doesn’t include the word Vape

Bingo! Vaping is a very small part of their business. Food is their business and it sounds like they don’t want to make waves with the government.

Well, then they chose the wrong name for the company if they are primarily a food flavor outfit.

Might be a subsidiary of another, bigger company?

Almost all the company’s that make flavors are in business to sell to the food industry. The food industry is their major market. Vaping is such a small segment of their business most don’t bother to sell directly to the consumer’s. We the vaper don’t make up a large enough population to bottle for small consumption.
I can count on one hand manufacturer’s that are willing to bottle their flavors in 15 to 30ml allotments.

Sure, but if you compare margins on the base product between a 3USD 10ml bottle and a 30usd/l contract for the food industry, they are different kind of volume but also different kind of margins.

Has anyone tried VTA Ginger Root? I’m desperately looking for pure ginger but I can’t find it, any help is welcome. Thanks a lot!

I had VTA Ginger Root a one time. If you are looking for fresh ginger that’s the one. It’s really potent though I never went over .50 with it in a mix. I SFTed at 1% and it was straight up fresh ginger.

Trippy Treats has a vanilla slice vape juice but I haven’t tried it, found it when I was looking for a vanilla slice recipe. Vaper Empire has a recipe but it calls for using three of their premade bottled vape juice flavours (vanilla/creamy custard/strawberry) and they’re not cheap ($12 for 10ml 
) so I was thinking of trying to mix my own using:
- FW strawberry shortcake
- FW vanilla custard
Seems like these 2 flavours alone would do the trick but maybe I’m missing something?

@bede1 thank you very much, it means a lot to hear that. I was VERY impressed by @Gazza7 reviews that he posted here. When added together, it was really a powerhouse of reviews.
Thank you again.

Honeycomb (VTA) 4% (11-8-20) – Testing another random VTA flavor, as I started to see it being used more and more, and my beloved love FOR the Cereals, I couldn’t resist. I’ve had kind of an outright FEAR of honeys after an incident with FA Honey, wherein I think I might have mixed it a LITTLE too high, hehe, and I swore off honeys. Overcoming my fears, I loaded this into the tank, and, … it was pretty good. NO off-putting florals, no ceiling bashing over-usage, and, a fairly decent, yet laid back honey. Mixed in there were some buttery notes, some caramel, and some cereal. Because it was somewhat laid back, I might have to re-test higher, but at 4%, it presented itself well, and did favor Honeycomb ceral. Not exactly, but in the ballpark. The light honey leaned natural, and the light caramel-ish notes paired well, with the cereal notes smoothing out the tail end of the vape. Because it fared somewhat light to my tastes, it might be overpowered in mixes easier, than not, unless used in a supporting roll, or at a higher rate. If YOU have been scared off of honey-ish vapes, congratulations, you can get BACK into them, with this one. Below mid-level sweetness kept it non-fatiguing, and lighter, but it DID have a certain “sticky” quality about it, which is interesting, because of the lower level of sweetness. With nothing off-putting or floral, about the only take-off would be the laid back nature of it. Felt really good and tasty @ 8.1/10.
Pudding Base (VTA) 6% (09-22-18) – Having never tried anything from VTA I had no idea what to expect from them. I love pudding, so let’s see what’s what. Out of the bottle when mixing up, smelled really good and it appeared to be more of a European pudding than a US pudding, and by that I mean it seemed more eggy and starchy and less like a Jello pudding from a box. Vaping it continued this trend and after a 7 day steep @ 6%, it was a delicious creamy, eggy, pudding that leaned towards starchy. Never having made pudding from scratch, it did appear to nail everything required for a great base. Sweetness was nice and even and the egg and starch were the forward elements with sweetness and creaminess taking 2nd place. Keeping in mind this is a BASE, with no other elements like banana, vanilla, or chocolate, it presented as a very solid base to which a great flavored pudding could be built. Didn’t find anything off putting or overwhelming at 6%, and can def. see this yielding almost any kind of pudding. Your tolerance and or preference for egg and starch will dictate how heavy you mix this. Needless to say, I emptied the tester bottle which is interesting as I wouldn’t have thought a “base” would have been so interesting, and tasty. Rating it as a “base” I cannot go lower than 9/10 on this one.
Raspberry Jam (VTA) 4% (11-14-21) – This raspberry quickly turned into a mystery of sorts, as to exactly WHAT, it was. Was def. getting a red raspberry from it, but it’s almost like there was some light peach and/or apple notes in there. The “other” notes were low, but still present, so it left the raspberry kind of wandering around a bit. As far as the “jammy” accents, they presented as about a 50/50 split between jammy, and candied. Sweetness was about mid level, and there were some tart notes on the high end and finish, that let it exit with a sparkle. At 4% it worked really well, and I had briefly considered adding a dash of INW Malina just to see if it could be pushed FULLY into the RB camp, but I held out. All in it was a good RB Jam, just not a great one. Could VERY easily be pushed into that, with minimal effort. Minor takedowns for a somewhat vague RB, and the candied jammy notes. Felt good at 7.5/10.
Sugar Cane (VTA) 4% (11-14-21) – After talking to @Psycho_316 and the success he had in his, Cherry Cola, I knew I had to solo this one. He stated it really enhanced the “fizz” in the Cola, and who doesn’t love an actual fizz. I decided to test this one @ 4% as it smelled very light, and testing it, continued that trend. My first impressions were that of a very natural sugar cane, with slight caramelized notes, but with NO burnt, or bitterness. Possibly a very light hint of vanilla, but just barely. Having spent some time on the Cherry Cola myself, I can absolutely see how this flavor would boost and enhance it. I intentionally ran this one high, so your usage will vary depending on your needs, and I had nothing off-putting at this level, and even at that, it was still relaxed, smooth, and with just a smidge of caramelly, darker sugar undertones. For it’s namesake I would have to push it high at 9.1/10.

Thx for the tip with the cherry cola. I can now pull out my Sugar Cane that’s been doing nothing for too long.
ETA: I got a great tip from @marsh8 about the VTA Honeycomb. It’s a heavenly pair with VTA Toffee Ice Cream.

@SessionDrummer may I ask what pct Sugar cane did you use for your cherry Cola? Also, I see you’ve tried WF Sugar Cane, as well. Any comments comparing the two?
