Setup: Goon LP, dual parallel 25g SS316L @ 0.10ohms, 80w with 100w preheat, 410 degree F temp limit, full cotton wicks
Testing: Real Flavors (super concentrate) Sweet Potato @2%, steeped for 12 days
Flavor Description: mildly sweet, even more mildly savory, not even a little starchy (maybe i just can't taste starchy in vape form) this is actually very good, similar to vaping unflavored juice except slightly sweeter with a sweet potato vibe. just kind of sweet with a moist creamy texture.
Off-flavors: none. unless you count that it doesn't scream "sweet potato" then the whole thing is off.
Throat Hit: none
Uses & Pairings: you could probably throw this into any recipe without problems, i didn't try it any higher than 2% but this could probably be done for more pronounced flavor. i think this could be used pretty much anywhere to add a little sweet flair to an otherwise standard bakery mix. this has the quality of being fairly moist so you can moisten a mix without adding a fruity component. the sky is the limit here.
Notes: this could really shine in bakeries or anywhere that you want a little boost to moistness and sweetness.
Second Opinions: RF page once again no reviews in sight.
I dig this concentrate at low percentages in very weird and disparate mixes. I think it gives an interesting body to chocolate flavors (which tend to dryness), it helped fatten up the body of a coffee mix I'm still working on, and I like it in almost any baked fruits and pies (except with cherry, yack).
I don't get any starchy taste at all but that's probably because it's more of a baked sweet potato than a raw one.
I haven't tried the SC version yet but it's on my buy list to compare. The VG version is pretty mute as a single flavor but i really like adding the VG version at small amounts to thicken out those mid-notes that are missing in dry flavors.
I did a weird sweet potato + cucumber that was oddly enjoyable.
Thanks for the confirmation about the lack of starchy flavor. This is exactly how I envisioned using this based on the SFT. I'll have to try it with coffee!
Don't go overboard when using it to add body or you'll start getting that sweet potato flavor a bit too strongly. I really do like it for coffee and chocolate, though -- it just adds something in the mix that's missing.
One of my young flavor testers locally keeps telling me they're getting a fermented sensation out of it but I honestly haven't seen that. I also had a non-vaper taste a mix and they also said it tasted yeasty, so I have to figure that one out.
