Despite reading reviews to find a mango flavour I like, it’s been elusive. They have all been green and unripe tasting to me. On advice, I ordered Wrecka (sometimes spelled Reka) Sexy Mango to try. Stupid name but why not. The smell of this concentrate is rank. I mean really really bad. It comes across to me as almost garlicky. It’s unbelievable how bad this smells. I had to actually try it. I put a drop (a very small drop) on my finger and tasted it. It was the taste of a beautiful, sweet, ripe mango. Unreal. How can there be such a disparity between taste and smell? I’ve yet to mix with it but I’m willing to try it even though I don’t know if I can get around that aroma.
Where are you reading reviews?
I'd recommend to watch Noted on YouTube, particularly the Mango episode.
What other mangoes have you tried?
I’ve read the reviews here on the sidebar. I’ve tried Cap, FA, and Inw. I think part of my troubles are because I’m fairly new at mixing and haven’t quite gotten the skill of mixing different mangoes together to get the taste you want. I’ve just ordered Flavorah’s mango as it seems a lot of people rave about it.

FLV Mango + FLV Sweet Mango.
I tried to warn ya'll about the Sexy Mango.
I love Sexy Mango and how it saturates my mixes.
But I would love to know what is the best % to combine FLV sweet Mango with FLV Mango.
I vape mostly mango everyday and the best IMO are the popular ones, CAP sweet mango, INW mango, and FLV Mango. WF Island Mango and Papaya Mango are solid as well just a little pricey for me. I usually do 8% CAP alone, 4-6% cap 1% INW, just gotta play with those percentages till you get it. I thought I wasn't fond of CAP until I bumped up the %, now it's my staple.
Yep and I've not found a perfect standalone mango, but mixed together... Amazing.
Yeah CAP and WF island mango are pretty close to a perfect standalone, but none of them hit all the right notes by themselves. Been mixing a little FA Lavender with my mangoes lately, highly recommended.
>o, INW mango, and FLV Mango. WF Island Mango and Papaya Mango are solid as
How to buy flavor concentrate given it's banned?
I really enjoy a combination of FLV Sweet Mango, FLV Mango, INW Mango and Tango and FA Mango Indian Special. Alone, I don't favor any one, but combined they hit that Mango spot for me.
I was born and raised in Hawai'i and ate mangoes from the tree in our back yard. I've only tried a couple of mango flavors so far (FA Indian Special and WF Island Mango), but while both taste similar to each other, they taste nothing like a ripe Hawaiian mango.
It could be that the variety of mango you're trying to find also matters. The ones in our yard were Haden mangoes (pretty prolific in HI). Nothing at all like the mango flavorings I've tried.
I asked FA to come up with an green mango flavor mimicking the mango used in southeast Asian cuisine. That is the Indian special flavor.
I can see how it fits into that profile and definitely not a ripe mango profile. Interesting to know that's the type of mango the flavor was aiming for.
Ya. I had a customer whose brand was Vape Chemist and he was looking for a mango flavor. So i asked Linda ( the owner of FA) to make many variations of mango and specifically a green mango. Anyway long story short, already too late, he then said he wanted Philippine Mango which i believe she still has in her repertoire. Cuz 5 years ago i then she had two mango flavors. After my requests she added more. Anyway there’s a little history on that.
I know this is 10 days old. But I’m a mango fanatic. I use 3% VT shisha mango, 2% WF island mango, and 1% Flavorah Mango. Works for me as a straight mango vape or a base to combine with other flavors (like strawberry mmmm).
