As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses.
##⭐ This week's flavor is . . . FOTQ IV
Post your own recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Share flavor notes. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using a flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic. But most of all, remember to have FUN
This is FOTW's fourth time time to do FOTQ, after was requested that we periodically (approximately quarterly) set aside a week not for a single flavor profile like FOTW is usually about, but for brand-newly released flavors. So this is the week for the newest flavors that have only been released since the last time we did this.

####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
So sad these weren't out in time!
I'm looking forward to hearing about that THICC vanilla and the Salmiak!
There's no way all of these are great (they never all are). Here's to hoping they got those two right, at least.
Predictably, I have none of these flavors.
Of particular interest will be the Grape Candy (sour), Pitaya, Fresh whipped cream, and Vanilla Gelato.
I'd love to see another "good" sour concentrate, even if it's constrained to being purple flavored. I'm also super interested in seeing someone make another new and interesting Pitaya/Dragonfruit.
Of course you don't, goofball, they just dropped today.
I just want to know whether the two that offer saltiness are legit salty. If they don't taste like the tears of my enemies I'm going to be pissed.
I did say it was predictable that I didn't have them.
There's a solid looking slate of flavors there though. Some of them would be really interesting if they pan out. Gulab Jamun actually sounds like it could make for some really interesting new mixes.
I foresee a new order of concentrates shall be placed after the episode... looking forward to it!
Really interested on the Cedro (Fruit), citruses are my addiction. Can't wait to play with the aim to reproduce a cedrata, a sparkling citron soft drink popular in Italy.
I see FLV Moscato and FA Bergamot pairing fairly well.
Pretty hyped indeed for Salmiak Liquorice (Salty) too.
Also Mora (Blackberry) is on my radar. If it's candy-like, then I can see me mixing it in a orgy of other berries and make a forest fuck fest of berry gummy candies.
Does Wonder Flavors have any other candy flavors? And if so are they usually pretty solid? All those new candy flavors sound awesome but I haven't had anything from WF.
Yes, in fact, I think candy flavors are what they're best at. Except for their Dweeb Candy, that one is gnarly.
I'm about to throw some of them in a cart at Bull City. And recommendations/ recipe recommentstions that use them?
Strawberry Gummy Candy, Frog Gummy, Peach Gummy, Blueberry Gummy, Sour Blue Raspberry Candy, Sour Watermelon Candy, Cola Gummy, Green Hard Candy, Tropical Gummy Candy, Sour Ball Candy, Chews Candy, Pixie Stick Candy, Candy Stick Candy, Banana Candy, Pina Colada Candy, Lemon Orange Rice Candy, Pineapple Candy... if any of those interest you, you should give them a try. I'll be back with some recipes.

WF is probably one of my flavorites. Haven't had a bad one yet, mainly because Noted helps me avoid them. :)
Im looking forward to Caramel Salted. I would love to have a salty effect to add to some mixes and caramel is mmmmm
If it really tastes like Salted Caramel it’s getting mixed with Peanut Butter ASAP
I'm most excited to try the WF Caramel (Salted) . I really enjoy vapes with a really nice caramel note in them. I have high hopes that this one will blow me away. I think it will have tons of versatility if it is true to the profile name. I'm very much looking forward to BULLCITY releasing the new flavors to their website. Thanks Noted crew for the chance to win this week's awesome flavor pack by Flavorah.
Chocolate Frosting caught my eye. Cookie Dough as well. Hopefully someone will review them soon.
I am super curious to try Caramel (Salted) because salt is such a missing note in many things, and the Gulab Jamun because done right that stuff is AMAZING
This would be interesting as someone who doesn't drink. I would how the tequila would taste
Interested in the two vanillas, in hopes of finding a replacement for Holy Vanilla. Watermelon Candy (Extra Sour) also looks interesting.
Never even heard of some of these fruits, so I'm looking forward to hearing reports about them.
There's a few of these I'm curious about Caramel (Salted), Grape Candy (Sour), Margarita Candy, Orange Cream, Watermelon Candy (Extra Sour), and Whipped Cream (Fresh).
Mostly though I'm wondering about that Whipped Cream... I just ordered a few whipped creams for a recipe I'm trying to figure out in my head. I had narrowed down the options I ordered based off the previous Noted episode on whipped creams, so I'm assuming this one will be fantastic, and require me to place another order.
I'm curious if the gulab jamun will just taste of sugary milk or if it'll really embody all the flavours of a good mithai
Pitaya catches my eye as well, it'll be good for a whole host of variations on current recipes or even to swap out the dragonfruit in some of my favourites & see if it adds any any extra notes
Nispero - from what I've seen and heard about the fruit .. sounds tasty .. would love to try that
So that's not just something WF made up?
The chocolate frosting and cookie dough caught my eye but the watermelon candy (Extra Sour) looks great too.
I'm stoked for the Cookie Dough! I was very sad to learn that FLV Cookie Dough has Furfuryl Alcohol. Are there any other good Cookie Dough flavors or combos out there?
Also for the Caramel... I'm with Dave... gimme more o dat Sodium Chloride. I want pasta water ejuice.
Gulab Jamun, salted caramel, French vanilla thicc, Orange Cream, Pitaya (Fruit), Plum (Purple), Root Beer Float Gummy Candy Vanilla Gelato (Italian), Watermelon Candy (Extra Sour), Whipped Cream (Fresh), Wild Berry Gummy Candy ALL pique my interest!
I only have 3 or 4 WF so I'm really looking forward to this new flavor drop
As much as I'd love to discuss any of the new flavors, my ability to do so in any informed manner is limited by the fact Bull City sold out of the sample pack somewhere between 12:00 and 12:03 😁 Until they are once more available to the public at large, I will sit back and absorb your appreciated interpretations.
I hear the salted caramel is... Actually salty?
Is it Hawaiian Punch or Hawaiian Drink? The pic in BCF looks like a Mai Tai and is labeled Hawaiian Drink
