Some notes on a few of my favorite flavors.

I saw the post u/enyawreklaw made earlier about how this sub needs more flavor notes, so I thought I'd post some notes for some of my favorite flavors. These are in no particular order. I'm trying to post uncommon(ish) flavors to help widen the spectrum of flavors for people. Believe it or not, even flavors you think you know well, there are still likely more uses for it that you haven't discovered.

• Blackberry TFA- For starters this is a very potent flavor, in fact I ended up ruining my first few tries at a mixed berries and cream by using too much of this. This is by far my favorite berry in the right circumstance. I love the sweet high notes that I get from this, and if there's any flavor that makes me say that I don't necessarily mind floral notes, its blackberry. TFA really knocked this one out, it's a killer flavor in my MKB and I only add 1 drop/20ml. In my opinion, capella and flavour art did a shitty job on this flavor, they're completely floral and tastes like perfume. I'd suggest this being used at 1.5% tops for a main note, 1% for a mid main note, or .5% for a light background note. I have tried it at 2% and it was alright but still not the greatest. In .y opinion this is an incomplete flavor per say, as it's only really decent when used with another berry to balance it like blueberry, or even better strawberry. I have a darkness scale of berries in my mind and this is the darkest next to black currant, and it does an amazing job at darkening strawberries.

• Blackcurrant FA- I didn't like this flavor in all the other brands I've tried including, INW, FE, and FW. I was really hoping FE would do a job considering their amazing lemon. I gave up on this flavor, and I didn't even know the true taste of a blackcurrant, and than I found flavour art's. Also I realized I did have something very similar, Forest Fruit Mix FA. I'd start using this at 1%, maybe even .5%. I've ruined so many flavors with over use of this one, not that it's bad because it's absolutely delicious, but not when when you want a black custard like I'm working on now.

• FW Blueberry- After searching for the best blueberry flavor, and in the process realizing that blueberry actually isn't my favorite berry at all, I finally found the godsend of all blueberry flavors. This is one of flavor wests gems, and I don't think anyone else does it any better, although when mixed with FA bilberry it's even better. This is really more of a bakery flavor in general, just like any blueberry, but it can work well in fruit/candy mixes I suppose. It's pretty potent for a FW flavor, start with 2.5-3%, although 7% FW Blueberry with .7% bilberry FA, and .5% Forest Mix FA makes an amazing berry base for custards.

• Marshmallow CaP/FA- This is my favorite marshmallow hands down. It has a nice authentic sweet marshmallow flavor to it. Adds a pretty good amount of body, but is amazing in conjunction to Marshmallow FA, which has more depth and body. The mixture of the two with about 1.5% each makes a nice velvety marshmallow note in the background depending on the mix.

• Kiwi FA- This is one of my favorite flavors in general. I haven't been able to get it to fit into any bakery flavors besides a marshmallow mix I call MKB, but I still love this in fruit mixes. It has some stellar high notes to it that are some what natural and fleshy, but also a little candy like. The taste is different depending on the mix. When making a simple strawberry kiwi, it works awesome at 3% with 8% Strawberry TFA (or a half and half mixture with ripe), along with .2% Fuji FA. The Fuji brings out some tartness from both the strawberry, and the kiwi.

• Fuji FA- To be honest, I don't even really like apple, but this is so much more than just apple. Fuji is the tartness in a flavor you didn't even know had apple in it. It works well as a main note, or a background note. My favorite use of this is in with my cereal base at 3% with 1% Cinnamon Danish Swirl CaP, .5% Cinnamon Crunch FLV, and .01% Rich Cinnamon FLV.

• Strawberry MF- I first bought this when u/notcharlesmanson told me that he replaced Shisha Strawberry with this flavor. I diluted my medicine flower flavors to 10% with PG right off the bat when I received them, so when I mention a percentage, it's the diluted version. If anyone is wanting to do this, ECX sells 5ml MF flavors for 10$, which beats paying double for 3 times as more when you could potentially not like the flavor. Simply take 9ml PG, and 1ml MF flavor to make a 10ml mixture. I use this at nor more than 1%. I've been told by numerous people that you do not want to use the actual flavor over .1%, which says a hell of a lot about this flavor. I like to throw in .2-.6% of my dilution to take any edginess off of other strawberry flavors. Try adding more of this and less of another, or use in conjunction with Shisha Strawberry INW, and Strawberry Ripe TFA for a natural strawberry flavor.

• Lemon FE- This one is mainly an additive for me unless I'm making a citrus vape for my girlfriend. I add this to just about everything with a berry in it, and it helps the flavor immensely. Just add 1 drop for every 20ml for a nice boost in brightness to any berry. It also works as a fruit mix lemon flavor, using a few drops of it to brighten up a strawberry custard is one thing, but I don't think it would work well as a lemon bakery flavor.

• Torrone FA- This is one of the best flavors I have come across. I have never used it as a main note, and I don't plan on doing so either. It's a nougat flavor that can vary in taste a lot. I love using Torrone with meringue FA to add a powdery sugar flavor to some thing like u/enyawreklaw did to rhodonite, which is where I learned of this flavor. It works awesome in cereal flavors to add nice touch to any bakery flavor. I haven't gone over .35% with this one. I would avoid going over .5%, and if you don't feel free to let us know what it's like in higher amounts

I will update this from time to time and add more notes.
