Setup Velocity v2, Dual 24g N80 7 wrap 3mm id, full wicks
Testing: FW Blood Orange Natural at 5% (70%pg) steeped 5 days.
Flavor Description: A sweet and juicy blood orange. The taste is between a real blood orange and this artificial candy orange (sort of like a cheap sherbet). Its got a mild citrus note with no perfume qualities. This is a very enjoyable fruit flavor and my favorite orange flavoring yet. I’ve tried FA Orange and TPA Orange Cream so my experience there is limited.
This is a refreshing vape and it has a slight creamy finish to the juicy quality.
Off-flavors: Nothing to note.
Throat Hit: Mild to none (2/10)
Uses: I would use this with another orange like FA orange to create a full, bright and juicy orange flavor. This is not a very strong concentrate and I think 3-7% seems like a good working range.
Pairings: Other fruits especially citrus, strawberry and banana. This would be great with creams and vanilla. This can pair with some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Not sure how I would approach this with cookies/cupcakes/cheesecakes but the potential is there.
Notes: I think this could give an orange zest quality to bakery recipes because of how weak it is yet the top notes should come through still at 1-2%.
Some reviews mentioned that this could overpower a mix. I have mixed this at 2-3% with other fruits and have had no trouble. I would assume anyone having issues using it with other stuff is using it above 5%.
Second Opinions: Not much out there for this flavor and it's is not on ATF currently. Good reviews on ECX and only a handful of other positive reviews on RTSvapes and the Flavor West site. http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-e-liquid/diy-e-liquid-flavors/flavor-west/flavorwest-sweet-flavors/natural-blood-orange-by-flavor-west.html
I have never tried regular FW blood orange so I can't compare them, sorry.

This stuff is dank. I made this for someone else because I never really dig orange cream but I ended up really liking this one. Full notes on ATF Cheers!
Edit: added rating
I'm not sure there is a difference between blood orange and blood orange natural. The flavor west website only has one blood orange. Out of Nicotine River, bcf, and ecig express, ecig express is the only one listing natural.
That being said if there is a difference, I find the regular to be quite strong. I have a blood orange caramel custard using only .75% blood orange and a orange cupcake at 1.5%. In both recipes the orange is really prominent
Just used it for this recipe
3% (FW) Blood Orange (natural)
0.7% (CAP) Golden Pineapple
1% (FA) Lime Tahity Cold Pressed
0.5% (FA) Liquid Amber
0.5% (FA) Marshmallow
2.5% (INW) Pineapple
The orange and pineapple blend perfectly. It's a nice fruity mix with a little tang. Shake and vape is nice. This is just something I threw together tonight while playing with some new flavorings.
I did start with an Illuminati clone from someone and after a couple of iterations and added flavors, I ended up here as a pretty good juice:
3% Blood Orange (FW)
2% Cotton Candy (10% EM) (TPA)
1.5% Golden Pineapple (CAP)
6% Sweet Strawberry (CAP)
2.5% Sweet Tangerine (CAP)
Flavor total: 15%
Sounds delicious. I don't have cap sweet tangerine or I'd go for it right now.
I've never had Propaganda ejuice but the reviews I've found are overall excellent, especially for this Illuminati.
Will definitely play around with the blood orange/pineapple/strawberry combo. Thanks for the recipe!
