**FLAVRZ Flavor Shots !!!!!**
Thanks out to Darren aka @JetZ from FLAVRZ for sending these out for the purposes of these reviews.
All Flavor Shots, and One Shots were mixed at 25%, and in a 70v/30p/3mg carrier. All steeped for a t least 1.5 weeks before testing. All were tested on the SteamCrave RDTA v.1 running dual 24 ga. Kanthal vertical coils, which were dry burned before every test, including fresh KGD cotton.
There seems, or seemed to be some confusion as to exactly what Flavor-Shots were, and/or how they were different from One-Shots. Basically, a Flavor-Shot from FLAVRZ is a One-Shot, in a BIGGER BOTTLE. Hehe, there you go, mystery solved. This means, if you buy a FLAVRZ One-Shot, YOU provide YOUR bottle, add the PG, VG, NIC and enjoy. With the Flavor-Shots, you use THEIR bottle, and add the PG, VG, NIC and enjoy. You actually get 60ml of flavor, in a 200ml bottle, and it you top it off with PG, VG, and NIC up to the shoulder of the bottle, it is mixed at 30% flavor.
NOW, if you DO use the 200ml bottle, you HAVE made a commitment, and will be using a lot of carriers and NIC to set it up, SO, it's better to make SURE you love the flavor beforehand. No sense in topping off a big 200ml bottle only to find out you DON'T like the flavor !!!!
I didn't need to mix up 200ml samples for testing/reviews, so I just found what @JetZ posted about the suggested percentages ...
..... and I settled on 25% for ALL of my Flavor-Shot, and One-Shot tests, to have a level playing field. ALL were tested at 25%, in a 70v/30p/3mg NIC carrier, and steeped for 1 week before testing. As you MAY have guessed, all tested on the SteamCrave RDTA v1., with dual verts, 24 ga. Kanthal, with fresh cotton before every test. All tested at 65 watts.
Darren made up a blank slate recipe where you can adjust your percentage of flavor, size, and NIC if you need it. Obviously you would need to adjust it, as it defaults to 1L of juice.

**Blue Slushie (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (7-30-23)** -- Welcome to the FIRST FLAVRZ Flavor Shot. (Cooling Agent Alert) !!!! Yeah, I figured it would be, it's a "Slushie", so I'll have to keep my disdain for "coolers" in check. There WAS cooling present, and it wasn't overbearing, and added a touch of "cool" but with no menthol, or minty aftertastes. Being a huge NON user of cooling, I felt like it still imparted something to the mix taste-wise but it was hard to determine. Possibly a little dryness, but only minor. The main notes were as advertised on the FLAVRZ site, a Blue Raspberry, and a Fruit Medley, billed as Forrest Fruit.
The two main profiles were fairly evenly matched, but the Blue Raspberry took the lead. I mixed this at 25% which was below the standard 30%, when filling/using the provided 200ml bottle. It was pretty full, and felt like it could have benefited from the 5% boost. Still very good, and the BRB had a nice hit of sour on the finish. Sweetness was actually just at mid-level, and it felt matched to the profile(s). The berry medley (forest fruit) was an interesting carrier, which rode JUST below the BRB, and tempered it to a degree, but made it much more than a simple BRB alone. At times, I thought I almost got a little cotton candy in the mix. At this testing weight, beyond the slight kick that the cooling agent delivered, I didn't get any off-notes, and about the only minor gripe would be THE cooling LOL, but, again, it's a "Slushie" so ... you'll have to temper my review and scoring accordingly. All in, it was a great BRB with a Forrest Fruit carrier, and just a hint of cotton candy, with a light cooling effect. It felt very good and blue @ **9.0/10**.

I didn't need to mix up 200ml samples for testing/reviews, so I just found what @JetZ posted about the suggested percentages ...
> 30-40% for Pod Systems
> 20-30%f for MTL & DTL
> 15-20 for RTA and RDA
