##FLV Honey Bee##
Summary
A very floral, honey flavor. It does have a nice bit of sweetness to it, reminiscent of honey, but very much floral. I liken it to a floral sweetness if you ever need that in a recipe. It is very potent, and probably will never need to be used above 0.25% or 0.5%. I'm glad they called it "Honey Bee" because this makes me think of the bees transporting pollen (floral) to create their honey (sweet). I could see using this in a tea or spiced tea vape that requires honey, with proper steeping and flavor bending.

The FLV Honey Bee here I feel is essential, although it's a bummer it takes so long to steep to be in a good spot (especially if you have a sore throat and need something straight-away!). It works especially well here, since they INW Eucalyptus w/ Mint is more on the end of floral vapes, and you want some sweetness and honey to really make it palatable. The honey flavor in the honeys we're used to is floral, there's no way around it, and that's usually a bad thing, but here it works well to give you both the honey you want as well as complimenting the floral aspect of this vape.
Perfect recipe for the "cold and flu" season.
Awesome and very accurate review. Teas are about all I could think of, to pair this with. Very floral. Very strong!
I still haven't been able to get my hands on that Eucalyptus w/ mint. Sold out at BCV and ECX doesn't have it. NR has it but I was already placing orders with 3 different vendors. I'll eventually get it.
FLV Honey Bee tastes like Buckwheat Honey to me. If you've never had it, buckwheat honey is a super dark and rich honey with a sort of a wet hay taste to it. I've got a pretty serious honey hookup and I've come to love the stuff.
I push it up to 1-1.5% but I really like the funk on the back end. Smells bizarre, but its really smooth.
I don't think I've had it, but it does sound glorious. Maybe one of these days I'll try it at >1% to see what it's like. It is quite smooth so good point there.
I tested it at .6% and really liked it. There is some honey flavor in the floral somewhere.
Then I put 1.5% into a custard base. It is good. It is hard to find the custard behind the Honeybee. For the next batch I will lower the percentage to .25%.
I was going to order this in hopes to make a nice Green Tea vape something akin to Coval Vapes' Discovery (https://www.covalvapes.com/products/discovery) It is my favorite - Think this would work well there?
