[FW Blueberry Cotton Candy] Flavor West Blueberry Cotton Candy

submitted almost 9 years ago by thedirtyprojectorMixologist

My build:

Kayfun 5/Therion 75w/30 watts/Single coil Kanthal

Percentage Mixed

Standalone/3%/ 50/50 VG PG

Steep Time:

5 days.

First Impressions:

The concentrate is clear and there's no sign of coloring whatsoever. As for the smell, I get a strong whiff of sweet blueberries with some candy backnotes... actually, it really smells like those AirHead candies I used to devour as a kid. It's definitely reminescent of blue raspberry candy instead of an actual blueberry cotton candy.

Taste:

Oh wow, first impressions. This is a tasty flavor! The blueberries aren'y exactly 'fresh tasting'. Instead, what I get tastes more like a blueberry extract used in many of my favourite blueberry candies. I don't get much cotton candy to be honest. Maybe just ethyl maltol.

But this flavoring does show a lot of promise at 5%!

It's sweet, fun, juvenile and kind of reminds me a little of when I was a kid. My parents would take me to the carnival snack booth and dad would say I could pick one thing. I would always, hands down, go for cotton candy. Even tho the pink ones always tasted like the blue or purple ones (probably just food dye without actually changing the actual flavor LOL!)

Standalone/Mixer:

It's really tasty as a standalone although I would lean on the higher side of things when mixing (try 7 - 10%). As an accent, this works pretty much the same way as TFA Cotton Candy. It definitely sweetens up a mix but it does something extra, an almost underlying candy-like taste. IMO, TFA Cotton Candy just moistens a recipe and gives it the impression of sweetness. FW's version actually has a more genuine candy taste to it.

Pairings

Fruits, desserts, candies!

Is it 4oz-worthy?

A word that comes to mind when vaping this is fun! This is a very simple and comforting flavoring. There's not much complexity to it but rest assured, it'll always leave you vaping with a smile. Because it's such a linear flavour, you definitely need to play around with it and flavor bend in order to alter its properties. Try adding some bubblegum or swedish candy to it to make it a full-fledged candy!

Lol just wondering cause you said you are "never coming back". No one is staking you, you're not the only one who frequents the new mixers thread.

10% Blue Raspberry cotton candy and 5% hibiscus is one of my favourite adv. Meant to be a beard no. 64 clone

Sounds good. I don't know why I haven't done much mixing with cotton candy flavors, aside from ethyl maltol. I've always loved cotton candy, too, especially as a kid. And I loved blue airheads (well all airheads), so this sounds right up my alley.

Interesting you suggest higher % in a mix as opposed to the usual lower %. Is that because you feel like it will get drowned out by other flavors if you go lower in a mix?

Flavor West offerings are generally very weak. That's why my go-to percentage for them is always 5%. However, I believe that might have been a mistake as the last couple of flavorings have tasted fairly muted. But to be fair, there are bound to be quite a number of duds considering that it's FW.

4 Oz worthy? Interesting idea, but you didn't really answer the question. You implied it might be. Was it for you? Did you purchase 4 oz of it?

For me, something is 4 oz worthy only after I too quickly use up a smaller size.

Thanks for the review!

Good point! The 4oz worthy section desperately needs to be scrapped and relooked at. I tried to be a little neutral when answering that since every person is different but I get why you would want to know my opinions. Thanks for the great feedback.

To answer your question, yes. But only for obvious reasons. If you like candy, this is a versatile and fun flavor to have in your arsenal

Have you tried cap cotton candy circus. I am interested to see how the two compare.
