Thank you for the review! How long have you had this flavor or been using it? It could just be something to chalk up to subjectivity of taste, but I don't like this flavor, unless they've changed it. Which wouldn't surprise me, given all the new JF flavors since the change in ownership, that they'd reformulate a flavor that existed before the change. The other JF flavors (all newer, post-new owners) I've tried have been impressive, if they've redone the mango, I need to throw away the bottle I've got and order a new one immediately.

But if it's the same old JF Mango, my notes are way different than yours. They are from nearly one year ago:

JF Mango 1% - This tastes okay, unless you're really striving for an authentic mango flavor. It's not that, it's more of a candy flavor. It's light and juicy and missing the thickness or ever-so-slight banana-like creaminess and the earthiness of a natural mango. It's got all the sweetness (and then some) and even just a little of the citrusy bite that mango has. I'd say JF Mango is to a mango as TFA Strawberry or CAP Sweet Strawberry is to a strawberry. Oh, and it's smooth. No throat hit. Which is weird for a mango; all the other ones have some of that. Unfortunately, it also has a tiny bit of a green peel note type of thing that wouldn't be too far out of place for a natural mango but is weird coming from one that's otherwise candy-like.

JF Mango 2% - More of the same, but more intense. Very sweet, but also more of that green peel thing. Similar to TFA Philippine Mango but sweeter and more candy/syrup to Philippine's nectar or watered-down juice. I'd consider mixing it with HS Mango and some kind of cream and making a mango ice cream that's flavored not with real mango but with a kind of fake mango syrup swirl. It would be redundant to mix it with Philippine. I would not add it to FLV. FLV's got an almost there natural mango thing going on - it has all the right mango parts but they're just slightly unbalanced - and this would just throw the balance off worse.

JF Mango 3.5% - Terrible, oh god. So bad! I can hardly believe that flavor changed so much from 2% to 3.5%. It's barely even recognizable. It tastes like dislocating your jaw biting into an overripe pink grapefruit, so you get that cloying, barfy sweetness of fruit on the cusp of going over into rotten land, but at the same time, because you took such an impossibly huge bite, getting a bunch of that bitter grapefruit pith into your mouth and chowing down on it as well. Green peel note is strong here, too.
