Setup

RDA/ Velocity Coil/ 6 Wrap Single Fused Kanthal Clapton 2×26 core 32 wrap W/ 45 Wicking/ Full Rayon Ω/0.26

Testing

Steep Time/3 weeks % Used/ 3 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

Mouth Feel

Heavy on the tongue super heavy on the nose, crazy dense going to give this 9 out of 10. Fantastic creamy mouth feel.

Throat Hit 1/10

Flavor Properties

Sweet dark nut flavoring with a light roast, rich creamy undertone.Very authentic and flavorful nut, can taste the skin along with a rich oil, I would associate with roasted nuts, creamy and silky smooth, buttery, malty, and earthy.

Relatable Flavors

This reminds me of lightly roasted hazelnuts I get at the movie theater with a coating of sugar, so creamy and buttery it also reminds me of a great nut ice cream.

Position In The Recipe

Base for accent I think this plan will work as both has an accent it should work to lift and round out cream, and in a base should have a depth of complexity and a earthy malt flavor.

Off notes

The very light aftertaste but doesn't stick around long and sweeter authentic hazelnut should be

Pairings

The first thing that comes to mind is creams, then bakeries, tobacco's, berries, other spices such as vanilla. Honestly having a hard time thinking of anything this is going to pair with off the top of my head I would avoid Citrus flavors, such as pineapple and orange.( but this may work as well under the right circumstances such as an orange creamsicle)

Notes

Eventually I do plan on adding notes on different percentages, and how it interacts with other flavors. Until then here is some additional information on hazelnut along with where you can find it.

Hazelnut actually pairs nicely with orange, as long as it's not a candy orange. Try some FW Orange (Natural) with it.

Nice one, this is definitely a tasty AF flavor, one I should probably use more than I do lol. One of the few from FW I actually enjoy

I love this flavor. Here is a recipe I made with it that I think is really good:

FW Hazelnut - 3%

FA Meringue - 2%

CAP Vanilla Custard - 8%

I add about 1% super sweet but this can be left out if you don't like using it since I know some people are not a fan of super sweet.

Mix at max VG, best after at least a week.

Looks interesting, I'll mix it. You shoulda named it. Left to me, I just call it Hazy Custard.

I ADORE this flavor. One of my favorites. I find myself using it in a lot of recipes, but also I use it when baking or making homemade ice cream.

Love FW hazelnut! I usually manage to add some to any recipe calling for hazelnut, regardless of brand called for. LOL

Have you tried FW's new Creamy Hazelnut?

Good call. I just had TFA Hazelnut for the longest time, and I was able to detect it in just about any mix. And it wasn't pleasant.

Has anyone got any notes on using this as an accent rather than a main flavour? I could imagine this working very well to add an earthy dryness to certain recipes.

Is creamy hazelnut from FW just a new name for well-known hazelnut or it's completely different flavouring?

I think it's a whole new flavoring but it somehow it's creamier than this have to give it 11out of 10

Thinking they are different, I use Creamy Hazelnut as a mixer for coffee flavors. Bull City Vapor lists Hazelnut[FW] as containing acetoin (0.995%), Creamy Hazelnut[FW] has no acetoin warning.
