Setup: Troll RTA; Clapton .226Ω; cotton wicks; 105 watts; Temp Limit - 460F; 3% Nicotine, Age:S&V
Testing: Real Flavors (Super Concentrate) 1.5% Fried Chicken 70/30 VG/PG
> Real Flavors Description: Do you live for fried chicken? You’re not alone. This may be our finest savory offering yet! Juicy chicken with lots of extra skin…dredged in a mixture of flour, secret seasonings, salt and pepper before being deep-fried to a crispy golden hue. Yes, Virginia…there is a Fried Chicken flavor.
Flavor description: Right off the bat I'm getting a lot of regret. Tastes convincingly enough like fried chicken. Black pepper is right up front with the taste of chicken skin. Tastes mostly of the skin with a light fried crust. I'm not getting much moist white chicken from this. It lacks the depth of the chicken flavor as you only really get a glimpse of it from this. It has a very light dark skin flavor, more than anything. It tastes like almost like drinking the grease after frying the chicken. The flavor makes you feel like you have no soul. It lingers on your receptors and makes you question your life and wonder what went wrong. I would say this isn't a KFC or Popeyes chicken but a dollar store brand mix and homemade by someone who has a very heavy hand with the black pepper. Whoever Virginia is, I sure hope she's happy about this flavor existing; because I'm not.
Off Flavors: Black pepper? You can almost feel it pierce your sinuses. It tastes like you mix flour and half black pepper and battered the chicken. It's way too forward. They claim it has some 'Secret Seasonings' but all I can taste is pepper and a lack of self respect. The black pepper comes out more the hotter/higher wattage you have your device at.
Throat Hit: All things considered this is pretty smooth. Not getting much of any throat hit from this. The black pepper flavor hits randomly and, while it isn't too harsh, it hits you where the florals usually do.
Uses / Why?: What would you use this with? A better question would be why would you want to use this? Obviously some TFA Strawberry (Ripe) or INW Cactus. Or maybe some FLV Basil or Saline solution for good measure as this is missing some good seasonings. This flavor is for the brave and who wish to plague their fanatical fried chicken loving friends with questioning your friendship. 1.5% - 2% seems to be a good starting point for this being the main flavor if you hate yourself enough to want to try this.
Rating: 10/Makes me Nauseous. No joke, I actually want to throw up vaping this.
Second Opinions
ELR -
> Tastes like. Wait for it. FRIED CHICKEN ! Mixed tester at 3% and it's down say 30% in strength at three weeks in 80-20%
More ELR - VG Based Concentrate:
> "Started vaping it at 6:30am. At first all i got is the chicken in chicken noodle soup. By 7-ish i started tasting hints of the spicy crispy breading." "8am now and i'm getting more of that spice-seasoned, fried breading. Vapour production is good. At this stage it's still more 'chicken soup' than fried chicken but the spices & breading are coming up...so we'll see."
> It's definitely KFC now. Not exactly spot-on. i'd say...more like 90% there. Being a vape, it lacks the full-on greasiness of fried chicken (though there's some there in the mouthfeel...i could be imagining that). Also the full in-your-face saltiness isn't really there (though pepper and the other spices are well-represented here). i would say this is pretty damn as close as one can get to Fried Chicken in a vape. For some this might be more akin to a Shake 'n Bake Chicken, if you know what i mean. The main difference between the two actual foods is the grease. i think it's a safe bet that some flavour components in the grease arise when deep-fried fat and chicken meet...and those are likely difficult to replicate in a vape-safe flavouring. At least fully.
> The flavour felt like it had mellowed a bit in strength after 4 weeks, but not much...like not super noticeably. i could be imagining it. Then again i'm a little bit stuffed up at the moment too, so it could be that.
what the actual fuck
thank you for your contribution to mankind
See, they did a give away months ago for 6 flavors and I thought it would be funny to get this one. Boy was I wrong. It was funny right up to the point of opening the bottle to smell it. I've been staring at it for months dreading the idea of vaping it.
Lmao... I got 7 (8 with a bottle thrown out ) sampler bottles from that deal I haven't even tried any of them. I poured their cheesecake down the drain tho. It was as scary as fried chicken even tho it shouldn't have been.
Hold on to it tho. When someone asks for some juice just tell em you got somethin for em lol.
Hey mate this flavor is rather weak which is unusual for RF (SC) I know. Try it at 8-10% (the batter/skin taste gets more prominent the higher you go), preferably in a dual coil dripper at 80W+.
I appreciate the advice but I can't get myself to vape this again.
It's fucking disgusting.
I love you.
Someone had to do it. I didn't want you to ruin your palate for the other Real Flavor reviews you're going to write up.
I am now going to demand the mods give me a special flair for my sacrifice and contribution to the sub.
I dare you to mix up more with 1 % of FLV Heat
That with some INW Shisha Chili & Hot Spice and let's make some spicy fried chicken!
Someone should just post that as a recipe on ATF... Hot Wingz
Now just gotta find some Bleu Cheese flavoring to go with it.
Sometimes curiosity is rewarded sometimes it leads to tragedy. For some reason I can see someone sliding down the wall in a sad shower falling to their lowest point in life weeping with their head in their hands...I am am now more convinced than ever that vaping is an art form.
finally someone posts about this.
It's not as bad as you say in the comments but it isn't something i'd recommend to anyone.
Here's my thoughts on the VG concentrate which i tested up to 20%.
main flavors: pepper, grease, chicken skin.
>Right off the bat I'm getting a lot of regret.
funnily enough, the recipe i created for mixing this on ATF is titled "fried regret". https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/share/296134b7-48ce-4490-9a54-48dcdb3bedcd
Idk man, it's vapeable but seriously not enjoyable. It might have just been a bad day for me but it was making me pretty nauseous.
I definitely didn't enjoy it, exactly... just kinda.. it wasn't unbearable. I guess. I mixed 5, 10 and 20% and they're all still sitting on the steep shelf. staring at me. Never blinking. Always watching... judging..
