Added to my shopping list. Thanks for the reviews!
You're very welcome /u/nakedz . Let me know what you think of it. If you like this buttery pastry concentrates you may enjoy the Eggroll concentrate from Health Cabin.

Does it taste like a croissant?
I apologize if my notes are unclear.
Yes, to me this has the flavor characteristics and credible mouth feel of a Croissant. The texture - "flaky" of a Real Life Croissant is somewhat hard to decipher in vape form. I found that it is difficult to achieve the texture of a "flaky" pastry note (similar to that of Baklava).
However I do taste a dry & lighter pastry. In combination with the butter component, it mimics the pastry flavor properties of Croissant.
"Vape: Mod.Strong | ↓ in Sweetness = Light | Mellow, Semi-Sweet Salty Butter Baked into a Warm, Lightly Yeasty Mod. Dry Pastry"
I hope this helps.
Damn you and your reviews! I just dropped $200 on flavorings this month and already have about 10 more flavors I "need". haha I really appreciate the reviews! This flavor in specific sounds like it's right up my alley!
😅$200 dollars! Sweet goodness! If you "need" this I definitely recommend it, but this and the other flavors your eyeballing are not going anywhere, lol. Save your money and test the flavors you have coming in. Be strong and resist!
Haha yeah that's the plan but it's so hard, Shiney new things turn my brain into a seagull brain!! I got a bunch of single flavor tests to do for sure, dragging my feet on that... Just gotta suck it up and do it.
To be fair though, I really needed some new flavors and a bunch of refills. No excuse to get more now though haha, still tempting though.
The struggle is real my friend. It's hard to resist the temptation and before you know it flavors start to build up in your inventory. For me, I look at the reviews and go..."OH! I must have that! It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine!" Then, the concentrates from the last order get pushed to the back, as the new ones come in.
Before you know it, you have 30+ new flavors to SFT! ACK! And, you didn't even test the others ones yet. However, if you go about it like a job and schedule a time and a certain # of concentrates to do each day, week or month you'll chip away and it'll be all done. Just remember to enjoy the tasty and sometimes, not so tasty experience 😄. *I estimate now, with the number of concentrates I have if I do 5-8 a day, about 5 days a week with maybe a scheduled "SFT vacation" I should be done in about 7 months lol.
