One of my favorite drinks this summer is a pomegranate iced tea. Black or white tea with pomegranate and huckleberry flavoring with dried lemon peel. Now you've got me inspired to try and make an iced tea vape with this. I'll let you know if I ever get around to it and post here. Thanks for the review!

I don't have much experience with tea vapes. But that sounds great hope you get around to it and let us all know.

I particularly agree with the soapy off taste and the light on the nose bit. I'm fairly new to this, but I've made a few attempts and this can be a tough one to wrangle for newcomers.

I experimented a lot with TFA Pom, and was just never successful. No matter how little I used, it always had that floral/potpourri thing going on. I really wanted to like it (because I love pomegranates), but I just don't think it's one of TFA's better flavors, at least not for vaping.

This is one of those flavors I wish tasted as good as it smells.

I definitely get that floral note. Found this flavor hard to work with.

Nice review! Spot on.

Any notes on FA's?

I have it and haven't played with it enough yet. It's true without the soapy taste. I just don't know what to mix it with.

Mixes well with TFA Raspberry (Sweet) (I do 5% each), or as an accent to FW Wild Cherry (12.5%, 1% Pomergranate helps to kill the syrupy taste the cherry gets).

I also noticed that in a mix, the first week of steeping, I can taste the seeds of a pomegranate, not the actual fruit. After that it calms down though.

/u/Chrisdvr1 I think you mean POM juice, not palm juice. As in POM Wonderful pomegranate juice. It's pretty potent. I usually mix it with seltzer. Thanks for the review.
