Testing

Steep Time/4 weeks % Used/ 5 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

Has a sharp,  mouth feel with just the slightest amount of effervescence.

Throat Hit 4/10

Flavor Properties

This one should be pretty self-explanatory, but that's not going to cut it so here we go a a bitter and bright lime lemon flavor, I put it in that order because they taste the lime first with a lemon background. This is a great citrus fruity juicy along with being a sweet-tart flavoring.

Relatable Flavors

I've heard it described as flat 7UP or Sprite, would have to agree with that description, reminds me of a soda flavoring without the carbonation.

Position In The Recipe

As a base - could be used in in a fruit base primarily focusing on Citrus flavors, and have seen it successfully used in candy bases.

As a accent - easily its most useful applications definitely has the ability to bring out sweet notes by adding contrast along with brightening creams.

Off Flavors

Not tasting anything with a Steep and have used this flavoring regularly, when I got this flavoring in notice the giant warning labels, (contains alcohol and to keep away from flames) and definitely noticed this note on a shake and Vape.

I ordered a 4-ounce bottle and now that the alcohol has had time to evaporate not something I concern myself with it anymore, but you may want to watch out for it.

Pairings

Citrus, tropical fruits, dark fruits, Stone fruits, creams, bakeries, candies, candies,and Vanilla.

Recipe

Not one of my recipes, and I do use the flavoring in a few, but I figured I wanted simple and easy recipe for the review.

And I'm sure I will get a godfuckingdammit Chris 😂 my talk-to-text has been acting very weird the last couple days I think it needs an update.

Notes

Although this flavoring flavoring this fantastic originally ordered it for my brother he wanted a stand-alone lemon lime, and regardless of the percentage I used it did not have the punch for a standalone flavoring.

Here is a Wikipedia on lemon lime if you're interested in learning the history behind the flavoring.

I've always wondered what you mean by "W/ 45"

Nice review but my opinion differs on a few things.

I've used this solo at 5% and at 10% with the tiniest drop of FLV Coconut in it.

I don't get 7up or Sprite from it. To me, Sprite/7up is weakly lemony and sweetness with not much else. CAP Lemon Lime is much brighter, more lime, more lemon, more refreshing.

I'm not picking up any alcohol in mine, maybe it's just evaporated out already?

I thought it really did have the punch for a standalone haha, maybe not interesting or complex enough of a flavour to make it a true ADV for me though.

I had this flavoring all the way up to 12% just trying to make a simple lemon lime believe the problem was not enough time and too much lemon for what my brother was looking for. Personally that much Citrus not really my cup of tea I do enjoy the flavoring don't get me wrong, but yeah I'm into way more complex profiles maybe thatsuede my opinion.

If anyone has vaper 'dirty cherry' or any of the other hyped up sprite flavors: would you say that it's probably part of the profile?

This tastes just like the main flavour in a twister ice cream.
