I keep hearing that Pistachio FM is the one to pick.
Which one is FM?
Flavor Monks. Belgian company
Thanks, I wasnāt familiar with that one
Blueberry Jam (WF) 3.0% (01-20-10) ā After hearing some good reviews of this one, decided to try it. Well, right out of the gate, this one WAS good. As far as blueberries go, I love quite a few, but only if they didnāt have too much āmuskā to them (earthy kind of undertones). This one barely had any, so that was a big PLUS right there. Now, at 3% it was quite full and rich (for a fruit), and it appeared to be a mix of blueberry, maybe bilberry, with possibly a smidge of blackberry, as it was a ādarkerā flavor. Nicely sweet, and to me, the mix of the three berries, DID present some jammy elements. I think @Silhouette mentioned this in her notes, but there is something ELSE in here thatās giving it body. When smelling it in the bottle, I felt like it was a blueberry muffin, vaping it did NOT present any muffin, but thereās something in there, maybe a bakery element, far lower in the mix, that keeps it interesting, but just below the surface. I could actually see ADVāing on this, simply solo, even at 3% with nothing added. With that high praise, I feel good leaving this at 9.7/10, with only minor take-offs for not being a āpureā blueberry.
I actually tried 3-4 of WF this last week. I was pleasantly surprised to find all of them rather decent single flavors. I would have loved something like that when I was learning to mix. I am so glad these single flavors are available to new mixers now so they have decent juice to vape while learning. Iām going to be trying more of these
Sour Blue Raspberry Candy
Flavor Description from Manufacturer: Sweet and sour blue raspberry gummy candy.
Manufacturer suggested dilution ratio: 6-9%.
Percentage Used: 8%
Equipment Used: Crown III sub ohm tank with A1 kanthal coil at 50W.
PG/VG: 30/70
Steep Time: 7 Days
Aroma: Tart, sweetness, raspberry.
Flavor Description: I found this to be surprising in a good way first thing. Quite an accurate blue raspberry flavor with a full mouth feel, just like having the candy in your mouth, itās not thin at all. First flavor that hit was a true blue raspberry candy, with just a mild hint of that powdery sour coating you find on sour candy. It doesnāt make it fully to sour, but it is tangy. The flavor lingers on this one, even a few moments after a vape, I can still taste it.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: This is a pretty complete flavor on itās own. I canāt really think of anything to add to it other than an additive like sour or WS-30 or Koolada if the mood strikes. It might possibly help in other recipes to give an extra kick to blue raspberry flavors, but it does have that candy flavor to it, so if you donāt want candy in your recipe itās not going to mesh well. This is a solid single flavor as is.
Notes: I see some people compare the blueberry part to the raspberry part when describing blue raspberry. The truth is there is no blue raspberry, itās an artificial fruit flavor with blue coloring added. Itās not a combination of blueberries and raspberries. This is the closest to that real artificial berry flavor that is so well known that Iāve tried so far is a good strength for me at 7-8%ā¦ I honestly will vape this as a single flavor vape, itās a pretty complete flavor. However, I did also make some with 1 drop tart and sour per 10mls to see if I could push for that true sour and it was very good as well. So if you like tangy, itās fine as is. If you want more sour, have fun and play with it Iām not sure how a longer steep will do with this, but I found it good at 7 days. Remember adding sour will add a little throat hit.
Hey Iāve only tried this flavour at 3% i think ill mix this up again at 8% and ad some powerful sour CAP thank you
A lot of people mix different percentage levels. I have some that I mix at 2% SF. But for my personal tastebuds I have found that with candies it needs a bit more to actually come through as candy. It is full smack you in the face candy at 8%
EDIT: I will make another tester at 6% as I always test different percentages, but I have a feeling Iāll stay at 8% on this oneā¦if I can keep my daughter away from it lol
EDIT 2: Iām not trying to be a know it all, but Iām not sure where you are in your mixing journey and donāt want to misdirect anyone. I just wanted to say that using additives does mute flavors slightly, so if you notice the flavor fading it might need to be lowered a bit.
Thank you for the info
Sour Watermelon Candy
Flavor Description from Manufacturer: Sweet and sour watermelon gummy candy.
Manufacturer suggested dilution ratio: 6-9%.
Percentage Used: 8%
Equipment Used: Crown III sub ohm tank with A1 kanthal coil at 50W.
PG/VG: 30/70
Steep Time: 7 Days
Aroma: Tart, sweetness, watermelon.
Flavor Description: This is a nice accurate artificial watermelon candy. However, it is not sour nor tart. It is tangy though and still good, just not quite reaching what the name suggests. Front and dominate flavor is artificial watermelon candy, similiar to the famous brand hard candies, but without the pucker. The watermelon is a bit weak and thin, not in your face yummy. This one doesnāt have the mild hint of that powdery sour coating you find on sour candy like the blue raspberry did, so for me that removed it from the gummy candy flavor category. It does mimic the hard candy nicely though and gives you that juicy flavor, although a mild version.
Off Flavors: None
Throat Hit: 1/10
Pairings: This is a pretty complete flavor on itās own, even if not strong enough. I honestly wouldnāt use this in any pairings as I have better watermelons that bring more to the party that I would use instead.
Notes: I honestly would not vape this as a single flavor vape, even though itās an almost complete flavor and easy and fast to mix. But I would add a few drops of LA Watermelon to boost the weakness in flavorr and add a little more body. I did also make some with 1 drop tart and sour per 10mls to see if I could push for that true sour and it did a great job of adding the sour, unfortunately the watermelon was too weak and was muted to a very watered down flavor of watermelon. I do think adding the LA Watermelon will help a lot and still make a simple and easy almost single flavorā¦lol. If you want more sour, have fun and play with it Remember adding sour will add a little throat hit.
Iām quite sure no one thinks that. I for one welcome all feedback of this sort and appreciate you taking the time to post it.
Ordered this flavor from Bull City, could not find a match in the flavor list
Is this the same as Sour Blue Raspberry Candy (WF) ?
Is there a thread Iām missing with tasting notes for some of the more oddball flavors like Bickford? I havenāt found any. Thanks for your help
I am assuming yes, as Iāve not seen another Sour Blue Raspberry on WFā site so far.
Yeah me neither, must be a Bull city re-naming thing? I just added it to my stash as the candy.
Not seeing a Bickford specific thread eitherā¦
Would seem soā¦
Thanks Sprks, donāt want to mess up my stash after TZ got it all straightened out for me!
