FLV Crunch Cereal tasting like burnt hair.
submitted almost 9 years ago by cyantacoMixologist

SO those of you that build yourself probably know that first hit off your new build tastes like asshole. Well that's because the oils on your skin, which is why I use gloves. Anyways, I made botboy's ultimate crunch berry cereal early this year, and it tasted SO bad. At the time I was still figuring out my mixing style and I did not feel like trying to make other flavors with the few flavors in it that I didn't use, just to figure out what did it. Well flash forward to a few days ago, I made a Twinkie flavor with JF yellow cake, and it was enough to use the rest of my yellow cake, and wanting to add a smidge more of a sweet crunchy bread feel. I literally only added 1 drop/20ml, and fuck this tastes like I got hair in my atty (I have a cat), and I re wicked my RTA and tried the twinkie on the fresh build. Thinking I may just need to let it break in, I got.ented myself by vaping almost a full tank and the taste got worse! I bought this flavor like maybe 10 months ago, I dou t it went bad because I'm positive that this is the same taste that cereal flavor had, just not as pronounced. Has anyone had this with this flavor? For some reason my girlfriend didn't taste anything wrong with it. I do have a stringer sense of taste, and I am weird about some flavors, so it really may just be me. Sorry for the unnecessary wall if text. :)

It's like vaping through a dirty wet sock for me. Burnt hair almost sounds like an improvement. Only FLV flavor that is worse IME is Donut.

FLV Donut is the most vile flavor I've ever tasted. I've said that a hundred times, and I'll likely say it a hundred more. It's so bad that thinking about it raises my blood pressure.

The thing that pisses me off about it is that Flavorah has no excuse for making shitty flavors. They make vaping flavors exclusively so if they tested that one, I'd love to know how it made the cut. And if they're not testing them in mixes... well that just doesn't make sense. All the other companies can fall back on "Well it works great in baking/candy/water, etc." but FLV is made for vaping. What excuse do they have?

No excuse whatsoever. It had to have been rushed through development for August 8th. I can't really imagine someone in their R&D department whipping it up and thinking, "Wow! Nailed it." I can, however, imagine someone thinking, "Meh, it's not fruity and I'm not bleeding from the gums. That'll do!"

Glazed donut is great frosted donut is only good the first day then it turns into some nasty flavor some kind of fermented shit

I was really hopeful for that flavor because almost everything else I've got from FLV has been good. Both crunch cereal and trix cereal were not good at all to me. The trix flavor was kind of..... moldy with a hint of wet cardboard? I don't even know but it just reminded me of that.

I've read that about donut on the reviews on ECX and that's why I decided to not order it. And I only say burnt hair because I've gotten hair on my coil and it's the EXACT taste, for me at least lol.

Shake & Vape, FLV Crunch Cereal tastes awesome, give it a steep, like you do with a nice milk-heavy cinnamon toast crunch type recipe, and it's a real disaster.

I did a lazy quick mix with FLV Crunch Cereal + FLV Cranberry and loved it S&V (3% Crunch Cereal + 1.5% Cranberry = spot-on Crunchberries!), Same with FLV Crunch Cereal, FLV Cream & FLV Rich Cinnamon (3% Crunch Cereal, 1% Cream, .25% Rich Cinnamon = tasty Cinnamon Crunch Cereal), but if both sit for more than a week, they're trash.

I don't know why this one steeps so badly, but it totally funks up everything you mix it with. Too bad, too, because it's delicious right away! :-(

Good to know... Won't be getting this. If anybody cares FLV pralines tastes like dried magic mushrooms (only mushrooms I've tried to compare it to)

Ewww, the taste makes me gag, even just thinking about it.

Right? Only thing it lacks is that stringy feeling as you chew em. Flavorah has been a fairly big dissapointment. I want alpine strawberry but am waiting for a decent review before I hop on it just in case

I'm sad to read this. I just ordered some to try. What, if any praline flavor do you like?

I don't get burnt hair or socks... but it does taste odd. I can't quite put my finger on it... but it's ruined anything I've added it to.

I am super sensitive to strawberry ripe, I get vape tongue, super sweet then sour bitter notes after vaping awhile To the point it just disgusting, I swap to a new vape and after a day or 2 sometimes 3 or 4 and it tastes normal again.

I am with ripe also, but only if it's above 4%. I can't vape my most popular flavor with it :(

My wife loves Captain Crunch and I made her some with 50/50 and 5% FLV Crunch Cereal. It sat for about a month with regular shaking and she said it isn't good. I just tried it and it does indeed taste horrible.

Funny thing though is that after reading these comments, I can now taste burned hair AND wet socks.

What's a GOOD recipe for Captain Crunch.

My crunchberry recipe is my favorite of anything I've created. It's 10% TFA Berry Crunch and 4 drops of FW Crunch cereal. I usually do 70-80%vg and it tastes delicious. I normally don't go over 5% with most flavors, but it seems to work.

Thanks, but she doesn't want any berry flavor. She just likes regular Captain Crunch. Any ideas?

I would try CAP Cereal 27, to me its a basic sugary cereal flavor.

I bought a watermelon flavor that did that it tasted like straight-up burnt hair. For my cereal I use crunch Berry and meringue with a drop of hazelnut. Also adding a drop of lemon or sour round it off perfectly and if you really want to make a treat had some graham cracker to it. My favorite is cinnamon bun and apple pie I believe I put some glazed donut in it too.

Anything I put flv crunch cereal in tastes like wet popcorn to me, even if its a little bit. Not nearly as bad as burning hair, but I don't use it at all.

Sorry, I was thinking CINNAMON crunch cereal. Is this flavor far off, though? Or is it just their crunch cereal masked with sweet & savory cinnamon?

I don't about cinnamon crunch cereal, but the FLV crunch cereal tastes like nasty popcorn in anything I put it in. It might just be me, it might be my bottle I'm not positive. Its not a widely used flavor I just don't mess with it myself.

Man. I love this flavor, as picky as I've known myself to be. I put it in an Apple Jacks type recipe I've been working on with a drop of rich cinnamon (I think that helps it) and it's one of my favorite recipes to date.

Have you tasted burnt hair? I have. It's not a very pleasant experience.

CAP Cereal 27 tastes like wet mud mashed with cerals to me.. not sure if that's the case for everyone or if I got a bad batch (I bought a rebottled one from chefs flavours in the UK)... Have you tried it ?
