That's it, I'm finally gonna order some. A big bottle tooHoly Moly that Holy Vanilla is good. I've hit that "puppy love" stage in it, been a while since I've been in that stage with a new flavor. I'm sure it'll wind down with time, but I think - prematurely, sure, but with a little bit of confidence - I think I've found a new staple.
Two single-flavor trial bottles made last night (thankfully, it was not lifted) - 1% and 3% straight, as close to 50-50 as I can get.
1% is light and somewhat more noticeable than I expected, that'll be the additive percentage for sure. No custard, yogurt notes. I think it'll probably be replacing Vanilla Swirl in some of my mixes, moreso as I go I'm sure. Slightly creamy notes, nothing baked-goods or perfumey. Lookin' at you, FVH Smooth Vanilla.
3% is probably where I'll settle on single flavor percentage. I may try 4%, but that ... that might be a bit too bold. It's either a mixture of other vanillas or something proprietary to DIY Flavor Shack, because this is just excellent. Been enjoying it right before I racked out last night, woke up with a really flavorful and well-rounded tasting vape that, I mean... I've been doing this for a few years, far from a pro, but I've been mixing for a while. For this to be a single-flavor, that's just cool. It's 3%, that's a hefty FA ratio percentage. That's nuts.
It's good. I was really eager and excited to try new "top tier" vanillas, specialties and whatnot, and I've never even heard of this before last week. Been let down a couple times in a row now, so my expectations were down there. Bam, head goes 180 by the time I'm cracking the bottle open. There's a lot of positive talk online about it, and it's well deserved. If you're looking for a better vanilla, it's worth it to give this a shot.
Only gripe? The bottles. It's been a long, long time since I've had to break out the pipettes. Open mouth bottles mean I have to use a pipette and I don't miss using those to dispense flavors. Pain in the butt. BUT! The juice is oh-so worth the squeeze.
Says this dude. (who, as an aside, did not have any luck in finding a suitable place to park his bearded butt yesterday. The hunt continues, I hate the home-buying process with a passion, folks. If I never have to do this again, I'll die happy.)
