Tasting Notes

submitted almost 11 years ago by diarizzle

Flavors I've yet too see, nothing I could see that needed change. I'll add notes on LAN Chocolate later..
Capella Sweet Guava @ 10% is strong candy guava I mixed with sweet strawberry no problem
LAN Blueberry @ 15% low flavor natural blueberry, will never use.
LAN Raspberry @ 5% is a strong natural raspberry flavor, my favorite natural raspberry so far.
LAN Key Lime @ 5% i suggest less % unless you like vaping strong natural key lime juice.
LAN Chocolate @ 10% true chocolate taste, not super strong. It's telling me to add mint or cereal and milk.

I'll get these updated to the master thread tonight. Thanks for the contribution.

Have you had a chance to try Inawera's Raspberry Concentrate?

Curious for a comparison with LAN if you have, that flavor from INW is just incredibly good natural raspberry. Hands down my favorite and I've tried every TFA, FA, LA (not LAN) and FW one out there.

uh oh... I know this seems like a dumb question considering it has to be just my own misunderstanding, but what is LAN? is it LorAnn? or is that LA ... If so whats LA? Just when I thought I understood I am proven wrong.

Can't compare, it's got a lot of flavor even at 5%. Like vaping a big juicy raspberry. Small contribution, but totally willing to get people to come out and make us some tasty recipes ;)

Yeah? I'm on a raspberry quest lately.. What kinda % for a solo would you suggest with this?

You didn't mention CAP raspberry, any reason? Tried it? Or CAP harvest blend which seems mostly raspberry..

INW Raspberry Concentrate (the one I linked, Malina) is good solo @ 3%.

I've never tried CAP Raspberry. I've tried a handful of their fruits and outside of CAP Sweet Strawberry thought they were pretty terrible when mixed typically because I'm trying to develop a MAX VG line and they just require too much flavor to be used. I haven't tried CAP Harvest Berry either.

Only stuff I really use from CAP is Sweet Strawberry and Vanilla Custard V2. Occassionally CDS and Cucumber but meh.

So max VG like 90%+ ? I find the harvest blend to be pretty strong at 10%. At 20% 50/50 it's a very very strong flavor but not to the point of being bad. Just very very strong! Was the first CAP flavor I tried, and I was Impressed having only used LA and TFA prior to that.

Thanks for the link I'm gonna give it a try.

+1 on the sweet strawberry. It's my favorite strawberry to use other than TFA Strawberry Ripe. The flavor is there for the candy-like strawberry, but it's not overdone. Just the right mixture, IMO. I use it in my chocolate covered strawberry and it complements TFA Strawberry Ripe perfectly.

All the flavors were stand alone tests, and were not mentioned in the master flavor guide the reason me posting. I have not tried CAP Raspberry nor Harvest.

Just out of curiosity, how were you testing these? pg/vg and what type of wattage?

Had troubles with a lot of chocolates tasting burnt over 35w @ 1.1ohm here...

I'm calling Chocolate out because it has sugar in it. My coils were gunked up fierce this morning. Everytime I'd hit afterward you'd hear a sizzle, changed them out problem solved.
