**Flavor description: **
I don't know if it's just me, but i get more of a mango shake/puree out of this. To me, this tastes exactly like the middle and bottom notes from Mango Boba. It is a pretty smooth and sweet flavor, but lacks the pop. Has noticeable creamy undertones. Reminds me most of preserved mangoes. Delicious on its own, but blending with other mangoes suggested. Was looking more for a bold, straight up mango, didn't find it here. Could be used as sweetener in fruit mixes. I feel like this is going to be a good all-round good mixer in fruity vapes.
Off-flavors:
None.
Throat hit
Tested with no nic, throat hit present but not overbearing.
Uses
Could be used as a single flavor. Haven't mixed with this yet, but i think it would greatly benefit from other mango flavors. Could try with FA Mango and White Peach. To me this flavor is not strong enough to be the main note in a mix, but would make a wonderful middle/ base note.
Pairings
Milk, cream, custard, Vanilla, Citrus, Litchi, Tea, Coconut, Caramel and much more.

Just like all the rest :(
How would you compare it to other mango flavors you've tried? You make it sound very similar to HS Mango.
Since you are the maniacal mango maestro, I'm really anxious to see what you think of this one. The more I vape it I tend to agree with the mango puree description. Nevertheless I still love it. My son and I are both vaping it like crazy as a standalone flavor.
I'm losing sleep here waiting to try it! And have put all my franken-mango experiments on hold until I do. Someone has offered to send me some when he gets his free sample, in exchange for a gently used bottle of SC Mango. I've kept up my end of the deal, so we'll see. I will get my hands on this stuff, if I have to drive to Flavorah HQ and demand it.
All this talk of shakes and purees and creamy undertones really brings HS Mango to mind. That is a yummy flavor as well, but it is not at all a true mango. It's pretty much a standalone mango ice cream flavor. Nice, but I WANT a high, bright, sharp, bold, mildly tart accurate mango, complete with those tropically earthy, pulpy, pungent notes, juicy and nectary sweetness, and only the very slightest hint of an almost banana-like creaminess. Is that too much to ask?
Does the flavor fade? I apologize if you already answered this somewhere else, but I didn't see it in your previous review. I'm only trying it standalone shake-and-vape for the first time today and am containing myself because of the disappearing top notes SC Mango phenomenon.
But if this flavor stays the same, in a week you might have to delete a post by me entitled "DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, FLV MANGO?" because it's not a proper flavor review but is instead just the ravings of a lunatic in the midst of religious ecstasy sprinkled with flavor-related adjectives and phonetic salad that looks suspiciously like an attempt to transcribe the sound of multiple explosive orgasms.
This is one of the better mango flavors out there in terms of usability. Most mangoes i've tried have a murderous throat hit, take CAP for example. This one is pretty smooth, although this still fucks with my throat by a tiny amount. As i said, it lacks sharpness, but I will try adding FA mango at maybe 0.5%, and perhaps FA white peach as well at the same percentage. I haven't tried HS mango, so can't compare it to that. My flavor quest is very similar to yours, but it looks like we'll have to either do some mixing magic or wait for a proper mango flavor. The search continues...
Is minority report your idea of click bait?
