Researched flavors, are these the best? And help with others please :D

[MysticRose]

Ok, after researching for a couple weeks, and reading a lot of forum posts and reviews on various websites, and posts in DIY Facebook groups, this is the flavor list I came up with as being the most popular/favorite of the many multiples. There is no way I will be able to afford all of these on my first order, so I will pick and choose to start. However, I did want some feedback if anything looks off to anyone.

I also still have a few questions, as reviews on the following were either non existent or too close to decide. Please help if you have tried any of the following. I am also looking for nut flavors, and finding very very few flavor notes/reviews on any of them. I found 1 website that each nut had 1 review, not very reliable...rofl.

Whipped Cream TFA, Cap, or FA?

FA Butter or FW Butter Cream?

CAP Harvest Berry or FA Forest Fruit?

Sweetener? Ethyl Maltol or Sucralose?

Bavarian Cream TFA or FW

TFA Brown Sugar or Brown Sugar Extra and why?

Marshmallow?

Pomegranate (looking for realistic)?

Green Apple (looking for candy flavor)?

Blackberry (looking for realistic)?

LA Butter Rum (looking for the Lifesave Candy flavor)?

Has anyone had FW Huckleberry or TFA Boysenberry? Any good/realistic?

Italicized and bolded your text for my thoughts/choices
Whipped Cream TFA, Cap, or FA?
The FA version is from their kitchen line of flavors, known to contain diacetyl, not from their ecig line. Some choose to stay away from diketones, others have no issue with that. FA FRESH Cream does not contain them and is great in mixes. TFA Whipped Cream does not contain them, is a touch sweeter than Fresh Cream.

CAP Harvest Berry or FA Forest Fruit?
FA Forest Fruit!

Sweetener? Ethyl Maltol or Sucralose?
I've personally never had a need for a sweetener, the flavors are plenty sweet for me, even in high PG mixes.

Bavarian Cream TFA or FW
TFA !

TFA Brown Sugar or Brown Sugar Extra and why?
They're one in the same. Name change, I think, same flavor, though. Yes, you definitely want this flavor.

Marshmallow?
FA!

Pomegranate (looking for realistic)?
FA is very realistic,though I've heard TFA is good.

Blackberry (looking for realistic)?
FE (flavors express

Dang, Huck pretty much gave as detailed a response as one could ask for, given that big a block of data to critique - and for the most part I agree with her, though I've only used V2 flavors where one is available.

Also, FA Butter is another one that I don't think is intended for vape use - and I avoid most FW because of their poor ingredient disclosure history...though their gummy bear is really good.

Just a few comments:

I had trouble with FA Bilberry being too perfumey so I use FW Blueberry & TFA Blueberry Wild together.
TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato, (just didn't like this one very much).
LA Cream Cheese Icing, I just didn't get the thrill that so many others get from this, lol.
FW Dutch Apple Pie makes me cough for some reason.

CAP Cake Batter is another I like but use it in lower amounts as it can overpower easily.
CAP NY Cheesecake is another great one IMO.
CAP Peaches & Cream yummy.
CAP Orange Creamsicle, FW Orange Dream Bar, TFA Orange Cream, in that order, but all of them are good.

TFA Vanilla Swirl is a good Vanilla/Cream flavor too.
TFA Graham Cracker Clear, nice flavor, but I don't get any Cinnamon from this like the other brands.
TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust, mostly just the crust part, missing the filling part IMO.
TFA French Vanilla Deluxe goes with TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream very nicely for Ice Cream things.
TFA Caramel (original), is a good one.
TFA Brown Sugar is another must have.

FW Butter Rum is better than LA Butter Rum IMO, (too much alcohol for me, but the flavor itself is good).
FW Butter Pecan is dreamy even stand alone at 10%.
FW Pie Crust took me by surprise at 7% stand alone it was great.
FW Hazelnut is more creamy & sweet compared to FA which is kinda sharp & woody to me.
FW Rainbow Sherbet, good fruity vape but needs to steep for a week.

Hangsen Cream is one of the better creams, but the others all seem to have their place.

Blackberry, VZ or FE, and FW is also pretty good, but FA Blackberry was like Grandma's Perfume, maybe I got a bad batch tho IDK.

FA Coconut is a better version IMO, and can even work to add a creamy butter effect when used in small amounts.
FA Brandy & FA Jamaican Rum are nice flavors too, although I don't really get the booze part...
FA Cookie is a must have.
FA Apple Pie goes well with Cookie.
FA Cocoa & FA Chocolate are probably the best ones I've tried so far.
FA Lemon Sicily, best one I've tried but does fade a bit after some time, doesn't bother me I just use a bit more up front.
FE Lemon has been said to have more "staying power", but it's one I don't have yet.

Way too many to comment on, lol.

 

[MysticRose]

Thank you all so much. That is 2 votes for FE blackberry, which I hadn't even heard of, thank you. Very very good info! I don't like alcohol taste in my butter rum, that is whtr I have found in all ready made juice I've bought. I do know that it seems none of the "butter" flavors are vapable, but I still want to get a decent tasting one. I definitelt want a brown sugar, I just couldn't figure out the difference between the reg and the extra. TFA cheesecake is better than CAP? I haven't found a premade cheesecake I like yet, they all taste like curdled milk or dirty sweat socks to me. Seemed like CAP had better reviews, but caps prices are outrageous. I will add the Grahan cracker clear, and change to FA coconut with the 2 votes
I will also add the FW Butter Pecan and Hazlenut, I need nutty flavors that are good. As well as FA Cocoa and Chocolate. I wasn't going to get any chocolates, as I have yet to taste a chocolate liquid I've liked, but I'm sure I'll want to try at some point, so I'd like to add good ones. I've also seen some recipes that call for meringue too. I wasn't going to get any as I don't like eggy flavors, but with small percentages I don't imagine the egg will be prominent.

Still looking for a green apple candy flavor? And no one has tried boysenberry or huckleberry?

Thanks again everyone!

 

[Mike H.]

Doesn't TFA have a green apple candy flavor?

 

[Heabob]

To be more clear about CAP NY Cheesecake vs TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust.
Both are very good flavors, well worth having both on hand.
But... they are vary different, in a good way though.
I tend to use these 2 interchangeably in recipes cause each one has it's own different profile.
But normally I'm using them at 1-3% for accents with fruits like TFA Blueberry Wild or Blackberry, although I can still taste them.
I think many vendor juices are using these at way higher amounts, hence the "curdled milk or dirty sweat socks" taste.
And the higher flavored custards need more steep time than the lower flavored ones IMO.
Some get a chemical taste from CAP Vanilla Custard v1, but again, I prefer using it way lower than most, (at 1-5%).

I've got some TFA Huckleberry but hesitant to try it as a toothpick tasting from the bottle was yikes!

Some of the other nutty types worth mention:
FA & FE Walnut
FA & FE Almond
FA Nut Mix

FE makes a Granny Smith Apple that's pretty good.
But the FA Fuji is still my favorite I think.

 

[Cramptholomew]

Yeah, that TFA Huckleberry is truly awful stuff. Not one hint of berry. Just yuck. Perfume all the way.

 

[MysticRose]

Yes, I saw the Green Apple Candy from tfa, just couldn't find any reviews on it to know if it's any good. I am getting the Fuji for the real apple flavors, lots of good reviews on that one. I will start low with the cheesecakes to avoid the over done taste, thank so much for the tips everyone! I will look into those nut flavors as well, I didn't even find there was an FE flavor until Huckleberried mentioned it earlier with the blackberry. Looks like I have another line to explore

 

[scootervapes]

Don't bother with fw buttercream.

Fw butter pecan is great, doesn't do much for me until 25% but i haven't reordered as it contains diacetyl.

 

[cloudy_judgement]

I have TFA Apple Candy on my shopping list. I have a recipe that I am using grape candy for that I think will lend itself quite well to an apple. I have had several requests for a jolly rancher type vape.

I also have CAP Peaches and Cream, and TFA Peach. I have one that I am working on now that incorporates both flavors, but I am thinking I want to drill down to solo flavors. Down to the base, if that makes sense. Not that Peaches n Cream isn't good, it just makes me wonder if I could do a better job for this recipe with more granular ingredients.

 

[Huckleberried]

Fw butter pecan is great, doesn't do much for me until 25%

Holy smokes!! Wow, I found it really strong at 5%. Just goes to show how different we all are with flavorings. It's a tasty one, but yeah, contains the "bad" tasty stuff.

 

[Daintanee]

Capella BlackBerry was suggested to me and highly rated by 2 peeps here on VU. Very authentic flavor @caddisfly @Teresa P

 

[Daintanee]

Wow, great info @Heabob and @Huckleberried !! Thank you!!
