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/4 weeks % Used/ 4 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

Mouthfeel

Very heavy on the tongue and my on the nose heavy density 8 out of 10.

Has a very milky and creamy mouth feel.

Throat Hit 3/10

Flavor Properties

A super-sweet bright complex fruit flavor, with a hint of vanilla, creamy, buttery and delicious.

This flavor is riding the razor's Edge between candy and realistic. There are very earthy, savory, and juicy notes, along with a sweet, bright, candy type flavoring.

Relatable Flavors

The flavoring reminds me of shredded toasted coconut, the coconut you find it a Mounds bar, and sweetened coconut milk.

Position In The Recipe

Given its density believe it will be most useful as a base note, haven't played around with it much, but during the testing I can't imagine it being used as an accent too finish off a already complex coconut flavoring.

Coconut has a tendency to take a top note position when combined with other lite flavors like cream, and if you're looking for a simple coconut stand-alone flavor this one is definitely on the list.

Off Flavors

A very slight almost imperceptible waxy taste.

Pairings

Chocolates, fruits, bakeries, tobacco, candy, cream flavorings, vanilla and most spice flavorings.

Recipe

Should be a great starting point for anyone looking to experiment with this flavor. Still a work in progress feel free to leave feedback.

Notes

Pleasantly surprised by this one and while searching for a recipe looks like nobody is using it, let's see if we can change that.

Here is a Wikipedia on coconut candy flavoring.

I have Coconut (Capella) and it smells and tastes like hair oil or suntan lotion, or some kind of hemorrhoid cream. I'm sure any other Coconut is better.

Ouch probably not a good idea to put it on your hemorrhoids😉

Hmmm, this is the first negative thing I've read about Cap Coconut. Usually it's said to be better than TFA and other alternatives.

I can't stand coconut but I use it as an additive for extra creaminess. Sounds like this might be better at that than TPA coconut extra, I'll give it a try, thanks for the write up.

FA Coconut is the best for a creamy feel, it is basically a light natural coconut cream. Not as chemical tasting as TFA, but it does require a little steep, unsteeped it will taste a bit spicy.

In some vanilla ice cream here (UK) I can detect coconut, and this is the closest I have found to that taste. (Used at 0.2-0.4% in creamy recipes)

If you really want a coconut that is more useful as an additive FLV coconut is very concentrated to get that super creamy mouthfeel

I don't understand the last bit of the question but I gather that flv coconut is the coconut I want for the creamy additive?

For extra creamy/butteryness add like 0.2% FLV Coconut
