I'm not overly concerned with organics or natural flavorings but I'm curious to know if anyone here has heard of or tried
http://naturesflavors.com/ . There are posts at ECF but I can't get in there right now to read them.
I was just intrigued with the selection and this man's obsessive passion for flavorings.
I've used a dozen or so NF flavorings. Are there particular flavors you're curious about?
Their Ginger is aaaawesome! That's gotta be their star flavor. It can be ginger ale, or candied ginger, or bakery ginger - it'll do anything you want, depending what you mix it with. Butter Pecan is similarly stunning.
Their Kona is very distinctive. You'll either love or hate it. There's a popular vendor of VG juice that uses NF. Kona Milkshake is one of their flavors; it uses NF Kona Cream. Their Coffee is much milder but somehow has a similar flavor, an uncurrent, if you will, that's either addictive or revolting. I found their coffees all pretty strong.
Their Chocolate is similarly distinctive. Just try 1 if you've never had NF. If you like 1, you'll like them all. They sort of gag me, lol.
There are lots of fans for the Caramel Cream and Butterscotch flavors.
Haha! Carrot Cake! It's not as hard to mix with as TFA's Pumpkin, but it's close. That is a very raw and strong carrot flavor. Don't mix it standalone and expect it to taste as named, but I think a creative mixer could make something good from it.
Their Danish Pastry and Brown Sugar flavors are two that should frighten a vaper. They taste fine, but the bottom half of the flavor bottle is white sediment; top half is translucent. Who knows what that white stuff might be.
Their Peppermint, Spearmint, and Wintergreen are all correct - exactly the flavor you expect, pretty tasty.
I'm drawing a blank on the others I've tried. ALL the flavors are quite sweet. It's a brand that needs no sweetener. Anything that could conceivably taste buttery is VERY buttery. Um....the fruits I tried did not appeal to me, because they're also quite sweet and a bit buttery flavored.
If diacetyl and substitutes are of concern to you, you should do some research. They have different product lines and have not been forthcoming regarding their ingredients.
