Specifically INW, FA, HS, MF, and NF. Not really interested in TFA or Cap at this point (I know some of their fruits are really good...). I've checked the flavor reviews available, and seen specific ones mentioned frequently on the sub, but I'd like to try and get a discussion started in one place. I have not explored many fruits as of yet; I've found a few strawberries that I really like, but I am ready to branch out.
To assist in future searches, the brands are Hangsen, Flavourart, Inawera, Medicine Flower, Nature's Flavors
I've tried FA Fuji, Stark Apple, Pear, Kiwi, Pineapple, And Coconut. I would recommend FA Fuji as one of the best fruit flavors you could order by any manufacturer. Coconut as much more natural and less suntan oil like than others. Kiwi is very natural kiwi flavor on it's own, not at all candy-like, but I haven't mixed much with it yet. Pear was very pleasant, also the flavor of a crisp natural pear, but when I tried to use it in place of TFA Pear in a recipe at various percentages, it still got lost in the mix. Stark Apple was not impressive. IMO FA Pineapple tastes like pineapple-flavored vomit.
I'm may be mental, but I am not a huge fan of FA Fuji. That's just my tastebuds because my girlfriend digs it. It's a good flavor though, just not for me.
This is going to sound strange, but I think it might be kind of a girl thing. A number of guys have said things suggesting I used too much of it in a mix. A number of women have raved about how yummy it is as a standalone at 4%. I'm male and love it, but maybe I have a girl tongue.
What about golden pineapple?
I didn't even know that FA made a golden pineapple. I got Cap's golden pineapple in the mail today and am about to try it out.
Stark Apple is a very light apple juice type of flavor. I use it in a 2:1 ratio with Fuji for a sweet apple with a tart note. By itself it isn't spectacular.
If you're looking for pineapple MF is the way to go. It's very realistic like the rest of their flavors. I can actually vape it as a single flavor it's that good.
Can you name some other MF fruits that you really like? I've got strawberry and banana, looking to get more, but not sure where they shine. Blackberry? Heard good things about grape too.
INW Raspberry Concentrate one of the best fruits out there. I also find great uses for INW Lemon Concentrate. Hangsen Banana I like a ton. Most of FA's fruits are good but not great IMO. They just lack something and usually feel a bit too rindy to me. FA's Lemon Sicily is good albeit weak though, Lime Tahiti and Lime Distilled are both excellent for what they are. And obviously, FA Fuji Applie is the tits.
FLV Coconut and Pink Guava are probably two of the best fruits I've tried as well.
INW Pear is bomb in my opinion. Their lemon is great as well. FA Coconut and Peach are also great, FA White Peach is supposedly good as well but I haven't mixed it yet.
Is the INW pear weak like FA?
I'll start with what I know.
MF Strawberry is fantastic. Very realistic. IMO it needs sweetener on its own, but mixed it is great without it. I have found that it does better for me with other light flavors; I think there are better suited strawberries for making a heavy/custardy vape.
