[Flavor Review] TFA Champagne

submitted about 9 years ago by wh1skeyk1ngThanks for reading this flair

Setup: Plume Veil RDA; dual parallel @ .40Ω; cotton wicks; 45W

Testing: TFA Champagne @ 3%; Aged: 13 days

Flavor description: Sort of a mildly flavored white grape type of table wine. No fizziness like you'd expect from the name, but somewhat reminiscent of flat champagne.

Off-flavors: May seem a bit yeasty at higher percentages. Missing the fizzy champagne sparkle.

Throat hit: 2/10 Pretty tame on the tongue too.

Uses: Since it doesn't really provide effervescence (at least to me), I would suggest it as an accent to other fruits, or as a sort of emulsifier to help meld sharp flavors together.

Pairings: Grape, apple, citrus flavors, or any other fruits you might expect in wine.

Notes: IMO, not an overly strong flavor, rather boring by itself. FA Liquid Amber or FA Brandy at lower percentages might work as substitutes in a recipe if you don't have this one in your stash.

EDIT: As /u/apexified stated in my recent discussion about this flavor, FW Pink Champagne might be a better option for a fizzy note.

That's odd because I get fizzy at just 1%. Maybe it's a placebo and my mind just expects it so I feel it.

Oh, but there is a fizzy tongue feel that can be had. I will be trying TFA Champagne soon but have had good results with Sparkling Wine(INW)

Sorry there's no way to get a carbonated effect on vaping, period. You can get a little spice effect but no fizz.

Not my recipe but it's one of my ADVs.

Thanks for the review. I considered this for the carbonated portion in my Orange soda
I ended up using Sparkling Wine(INW). I'd be interested to see the results in the above recipe.

I use Sparkling Wine INW a lot in various recipes and have never gotten the carbonated sensation... where did you get yours from?

Edit: I mean, where did you purchase your bottle of concentrate from?

Shit I just got this one specifically for effervescence, glad to see you back doing these things man.

I put this on hold for a minute and now all of my tester's seem to have gone stale getting the same kind of chalky note from all of them.

Real flavors ginger ale have a decent amount of effervescence.

I see there's some mixed results from some users, so you might be a lucky one. What % are you using the RF Ginger Ale at to achieve effervescence? And how about the steep time?
