MY GOD, i mixed up a bottle the other day and WOW, i cant get enough,
im not very good at reviewing shit but ill give it a go.
here is how Molin berry describes it > The best of strawberry juice, citrus fresh lime, seasonal forest berries and perfect blend anise & licorice. Secret ingredient closes marathon of flavors
My initial reaction to the bottle of flavoring, almost no smell to it, couldnt really tell what it was. Going back to it now, i can smell strawberry and raspberry, dont know if there are more berries or not. the Anise/licorice, i never picked up on them until i really smelled it, just a hint.
Mixed up a bottle of 3mg with 6% Shock, gave er a shake and tried a bit in my OBS Crius, Kanthal .5 Ohm @ 27.5 Watts on my RX200
HOLY HELL, i have been looking for a licorice/anise juice and this does it for me perfectly. I cant really tell the difference in inhale flavors but they are a tasty combination. And the anise/licorice is really prominent on the exhale.
I have no idea what the secret ingredient is, maybe dragonfruit?
edit
after really hunkering down, the aftertaste is EXACTLY like those black baby licorice candies, minus the tooth numbing sweetness
FA Forest Fruit has a pronounced strawberry and raspberry notes, and from the description i'm inclined to believe its what they are using.
Citrus fresh lime is probably FA Lime Cold Pressed or distilled if its sharp/zesty. FA Anise and Licorice are likely the sources for the anise and licorice.
I don't know when it says "the best of strawberry juice" then begins detailing the ingredients whether or not it has a distinct strawberry note outside of forest fruit or its just the best strawberry flavor in their opinion overall. Seeing the trend of fa ingredients you could could potentially try a little extra fa strawberry, or some other brand to reinforce that note.
"The secret ingredient" is probably another FA flavor that fits the profile.
I'm not sure if they use the services of a manufacturer or just mix other companies flavors and sell them as their own concentrates. Never tried them.
From what ive gathered on their website, they make all of their own. Im not knowledgeable, in this at all, but they do supply MSDS and technical specifications, and i see no mention of using supplied flavorings.
Not sure that they make their own but I also do not think they get their flavors from Flavour Art or any commercial flavoring company (Flavor West, Inawera, etc). I have heard the flavoring source is from Germany but it's mere speculation. Their flavors do not taste like any other brand that I've tried... I will say that.
