Setup: Tobeco Velocity v1 RDA; 8 wrap dual tiger coils @ .26Ω; cotton wicks; 55 W
Testing: Flavorah - Mango @ 3%; Aged: 15 days
Flavor description: Very resembling of a mango (as it should be) yet not super juicy or tart. The tropical fruit flavor is there, but at 3%, it lacks the bit of bright wetness an actual mango would have. I also get a bit of a pineapple/orange flavor combo at higher temps.
Off-flavors: Nothing really off here.
Throat hit: 2/10 pretty light
Uses: 1-2% as an accent in a tropical mix or even a contrast fruit in a darker mix. 3-5% as a front note. If you're after a plain Mango ADV, try it at 5-6%. Flavor uses and recipes discussed much more in-depth in FOTW posts here and here.
Pairings: Most any fruits, lighter creams, a dash of sweetener might even be preferred to help round out the flavor better.
Notes: This is a decently solid mango flavor though I feel Flavorah could bump up the potency a bit or just drop the prices already.

That past review about the lovely and talented FLV Mango was actually by the one and only /u/kirkt, not the Cheebster. I remember it well because it marked a turning point in my life. Wow, has it really been 8 months? How time flies when you're in love. Marry me, FLV Mango <3.
Pairings: CAP Sweet Mango at around 4:1 FLV:CAP Sweet, give or take, depending on the recipe.
Give me a couple months to get my mixing legs (and money saved), then I'm going to come to you to perfect the flavor I've always dreamed about since I started vaping: a mango batido that I used to drink almost daily when I lived in Costa Rica. I just saw your mango recipe on ATF and it's clear you've done some experimenting...
Please do! But which mango recipe are you referring to?
