I am worried for FLV.

We love you long time! We'll keep fighting and keep the spice flowing... I'm headed to NEC Birmingham next week to meet with UK customers and check in on the shotfill/longfill/TPD scene there. Even if the Deep State takes away our rights to vape in the US, you will probably be able to ship in product from Europe where they are on track to meet their tobacco free 2025 goals.

Do you recommend anyone in Europe that has a sort of comglomerate of flavors, like BullCityFlavors?

Check out this Map that has a list of re-sellers around the world. They do an awesome job and love that they are fighting for us. Have tried to find similar maps for other companies

Rainbowvapes and Chefs Flavors are my go-to suppliers. I run a shop in Norway, so I buy a lot of flavorings. Both of these companies are awesome.

God damn it, DIY was supposed to be our safe haven through all this nonsense!

I don't use any of RF's flavors in my ADVs, but this is absolutely terrible news, and I really hope this is a one-off instead of a portent of things to come. I'm gonna have to stock up on a financially-irresponsible amount of concentrates if so.

Even if companies have to stop selling flavorings for vape juice, you'll probably be able to find a lot of the same flavorings just not marketed as vape flavorings. It'll probably be harder to find the right kinda of flavorings tho

FFS they make one of the few strawberry flavorings I can taste/sense :(

Try OSDIY Succulent Strawberry. That or Flavorah Alpine Strawberry (crazy strong, dilute it in PG to 10% before using it. It seems expensive but a 10ml bottle is actually enough to make 100ml of a 10% dilution and you won't use over 2% of that in anything.

People who can't taste strawberry report good results with both.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to research OSDIY. Seems like my usual websites don't carry that brand. I currently use Alpine and INW Shisha strawberry with the RF, works great.

I've just ordered 200ml on your recommendation. Can hardly taste other strawberries either

by vergaerdover 5 years ago

That's a large gamble, I hope it works for you! I layer 2.2% RF with 1.6% INW Shisha strawberry and 0.2% FLV Alpine strawberry to make my strawberry base.

Guess it's time to get a gallon of strawberry today with jam and sweet strawberry.. 😭😭

Good luck. Unless you reserved it 2 days ago, you won't find any. The internet found out 2 days back and everyone panic bought.

FUCK my ADV uses their Fried Dough

Edit: I just ordered as much as Bull City would let me. Thanks for the heads-up.

Wonder if this is related to the rumored announcement the FDA is making tomorrow.

Flavored ban. Immediate activation of PMTA regulations.

Will that affect diy flavorings? Shouldn't that mean big business for them?

Yes. They say it right in the post.

Some people were saying it's just their direct to customer sales and that flavor selling sites will still be selling Real Flavors.

I'm more inclined to believe it's more of a restructuring. Real Flavors had been falling off lately. And there was the One Drop debacle. That couldn't have been cheap. I think they are sticking with what they were making the most money off of.

I've only tried a few of them but it sucks they're throwing in towel. I know a lot of people like their flavors.

There was some good outpour a few months when they discontinued a bunch of stuff - does anybody have flavours to recommend?

I picked up the Strawberry and Jam on Toast flavours last weekend - what else?

Pineapple, Yumberry, Strawberry Milkshake, Strawberry Gelato......pretty much anything they make strawberry as there strawberry is the bomb at 1.5 to 2%, I like to add 0.50% INW Shisha Strawberry to it but it is still really good on it's own. Butter Pecan Pie is good but needs help and not so much a pie. I use it at 0.50% with another pecan, if I go higher that .50 it can get funky with a steep. Aged Bourbon Cream is another good one.

Thanks for your response! I'll see what I can find at my local store.

Check out nicotine river as well, they have some RF flavors in the clearance section with 25% off. I ordered 500ml of Strawberry and Strawberry Milkshake from them and just placed an order at BCF for the other real flavors I need for some ADV recipes.

Shit. One of my ADV clones uses an RF super concentrate. Just ordered 4oz.

this hits me hard, as they're one of my favorite flavor makers, and make up at least half of my selection currently.. :( :(

Thanks for the heads up bro.

I've been a collector of concentrates for years but really want to experience a strawberry flavour I can fully appreciate (life's elixir for me).

Shisha is great but flat for me personally whereas my wife loves it - I find it excellent for revamping faded strawberry on long steeps. I do enjoy a good layering so will definitely sample that..

What kind of percentages you working with ? They are all very strong in my experience.

Bloody subjective taste buds!

As I said in an earlier post, OSDIY Succulent Strawberry is the bomb. Even for people who are strawberry blind. It's kick ass. I have every strawberry flavor you can think of, and it's the clear best.

Oh no I just started DIY and pink candy has been one of my favorites so far. Does anyone know if Cap pink taffy might scratch that itch?

ETA: Went to quickly order a larger amount of it and it's no longer on bull city anymore :( :(
