FLV Vanilla Pudding - The only flavor I know of that even suggests that is supposed to be an American style, like Snack Pak or Jello Instant, vanilla pudding. It does a pretty good job of that; not sure it vividly exemplifies the difference between custard and pudding, but it’s medium-thick, a little sweet, very smooth and creamy, somewhat but not overly rich, and has a warm vanilla note not far off from something like a Jello Pudding Pop vanilla. So it pretty much checks all the boxes for vanilla pudding but more than that, it tastes like possibilities. So many delicious things have been done with this flavor. 3% is a good amount, but it can go lower or a little higher depending on what the plan for it is. I made a tester for this week and finished all 10ml, which isn’t something that normally happens. It tastes very very similar to their Vanilla Custard, not that it tastes like custard, but their Vanilla Custard tastes very pudding-like and isn't an especially eggy-type custard.

VT Pudding Base - Plain bread pudding, I guess? Not sure it’s super accurate to that but I love it. Thick and sweet with lots of buttery bakery, like drinking the dregs of a glass of milk after dipping a bunch of dry Danish butter cookies in there, where some of the cookies break off and sink to the bottom and partially dissolve, so there’s this delicious drinkable cookie sludge left over. This is vaping that wonderful sludge. 3% is a rich, full, single flavor, 1 to 3% in mixes I’ve tried show up beautifully but is annoying to see in something that’s supposed to emulate an American-style pudding because it’s so much a bakery flavor. It has more business being in a cookie or cake recipe than in a pudding.

OoO Bread Pudding - Something like bread pudding but with a weird spice note. Spice tastes kinda like cinnamon blended completely with a bit of clove. Maybe allspice? Lots of bread flavor and body, solid amount of vanilla, a little sweet. No very custardy. Seems like it could use some eggy custard and a stronger cinnamon to cover up that clove hint if it’s unwanted, but it certainly has some nice body to it and doesn’t have any real gross off-notes or anything like that. 3% is a little light - I think it could go up quite a bit, but since I’m already getting a little clove I’m concerned about how that might ramp up.

VT Xmas Pudding - It tastes like fruitcake. Dense cake with dark molasses sweetness, a bunch of spices, and musty fruit, like raisins or dates maybe. It’s hard to pick apart the individual spices in this warm, cooked-tasting spice blend, but kind of tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Not any ginger or cardamom but that I can tell, maybe some anise but not enough to get licorcey. Mostly just a thick cake sweetened with molasses though. Some people have gotten brandy or rum from this, but nothing in it tastes liquor-like to me at 3%.

So, came across a forgotten flavor in my collection... I'd tried testing it before, but the bottle seriously wouldn't open, so i set it aside, figuring it was a low likelihood of not having serious issues. Anyhow, figured i would try opening it again, and it actually opened after applying quite a bit of leverage. Quick sniff and knuckle test, and amazed by it. Not a terribly 'real' flavor, but exactly the candied artificial flavor that seems universal among IRL products with the greatest flavor added. Threw some into a iced tea juice I was mixing and took a chance. So... I have to say, except for it seeming a touch weak, TFA and INW have moved down to second place in the list of cherry flavors, GL cherry is actually really good (if you want candy/artificial cherry flavor, and maybe maraschino at a stretch) which, for a cherry flavor, makes it ~~one of~~ the greatest ever.

VT Lime Cordial. I wanted this to be like a yummy Cottees lime cordial, but it isn't. It's more a thin kind of lime. Definitely tastes like cordial, but for adults if that makes sense. I'd like it to be sweeter, maybe by adding some pineapple or apple.

On the bright side, I did add some of my SFT to a liquorice berry mix I made, and the result was unexpectedly much improved :)

This is why I date everything I make.

Definitely have some terribles that are great (strawberry cheesecake - looking at you) after back of shelving for a few months.

As far as single flavour? Working an TFA Banana Nut Bread based on recommendations here.

After three months at 1% to 2%. Still nope. Fresh baked wild yeast. Pity, highly recommended. (For anybody interested, Ii brew, and get banana flavours. This one, I would have to dump)
