We're just Flavor of the Quarter Horsing Around
submitted over 4 years ago by ID10-TWinner: Best Recipe of 2019 - Counter Punch

 
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 V

This is FOTW's 5th 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.

I have all the new FLV flavors (Blue Raz, Pearesto, Chai Spice, Mint Candy, Mango Pineapple Passion, Mild Tobacco, Cactus Apple, Blackberry, RY4, Sweet Mango, Vanilla Tobacco, Energy Drink) and would love to discuss recipes anyone has tried using them or recipe ideas anyone has for them, as well as the flavors themselves. But there are also some new INW flavors out that we should talk about (Koala High, Don Vito, Citrus Maxima, Joe Boss, Holy Grenade, It's A Trap, Gummy Bears, Yogurtinho, Woodruff, Lychee Bomb). Anyone gotten their mixing mitts on any of those? Or other new releases that aren't on my radar?

 

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

someone needs to do a spoof of flight of the conchords song about dancefloors (if you know, you know).

Too many flavors in the damn cart...too many flavors, too many flavors.

I am very excited to see a new Woodruff flavor entering the scene. Woodruff is rarely known/unpopular in the US, but there is plenty of Woodruff flavored sweets in the EU. I have a recipe with a Woodruff and blood orange pairing that uses JF's Woodruff, but it's hard to get these days.

I can't wait to test it and see how it compares.

Edit: Recipe is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/alxvm9/simons_sweet_woodruff_sherbet/

>new INW flavors . . . (Koala High, Don Vito, Citrus Maxima, Joe Boss, Holy Grenade, It's A Trap, Yogurtinho)

Is this "FOTQ" or "Nonsense Names Vol2" ? Any idea what they're supposed to taste like?

I thought this quarter‘s releases were excellent. I think one the best uses I’ve seen for one so far is in developed’s recipe blue raspberry bubblegum where they combine 5% LB blue raspberry with 1% FLV blue raz. That combination is amazing and something I will definitely be using again in the future.

Or other new releases that aren't on my radar?

Chefs Super Concentrates - 84 brand new flavors (and those are ultras, mix at 0.2-0.5% at very affordable price)

+ 24 brand new FA with some awesome bakeries and creams (and custards).

&#x200B;

thinking... maybe it would make sense to place another FOTQ in June for Chefs SC since they are on the market for couple of weeks already (= to not wait another 3 months for reviews; probably many vapers would be highly interested in these + in any case you probably won't be able to handle 84 CSC + 24 FA + whatever new comes out in the mean time at that one single session, so it makes sense to make a split)

We’re going to do all the Chefs in August and all the FA’s in November, you’ll just have to be patient

I picked up the new FLV flavors except for the Mint Candy. Don't do mint vapes. Used to smoke menthol cigarettes constantly, but I can't stand mint or menthol vape.

I've got a great FLV Blackberry/INW Two Apples/FLV Pearesto mix right now. It's tasty. There are a few other ingredients in this mix, but those are the star players for my first try with some of the new ones.

I'm planning to get some of the FLV Tobaccos mixed and steeping tonight. Also really looking forward to subbing some of my mango recipes with the new FLV Mango varieties.

I've found subbing new ingredients in old recipes has given me a good idea of what the flavors are doing with each other. All of my small SFT bottles are dirty right now. I'm lazy or I'd mix up testers. Maybe tomorrow lol I'm just going to jump right in for now.

Cheers!

FLV Blue Raz tastes like dirt to me (3%). The only other flavour I've ever had this with is RF Baja Soda. Am I broken?!

12 points

Yes, but we're all broken in one way or another. The trick is finding someone whose broken pieces fit together with yours to make something beautiful.

by vApe_Escapeover 4 years agoTobacconist

Hmm interesting line-up from FLV. One of the mangos kind of sounds like a one-shot. Interested in the tobaccos and the blackberry for sure. I like their boysenberry so I hope the blackberry is as well done.

What I'm most excited for, and will probably be the most let down by, is Cactus Apple. Could be cactus+apple which would suck IMO but could also be based on the fruit of Cereus Peruvianus aka Peruvian Apple Cactus which would be pretty awesome.

A lot of people think of hylocereus (dragonfruit) or opuntia pads (nopal) or opuntia fruits (prickly pear) but there is a whole wide world of cactus fruits and they really are all over the place flavor and texture wise.

I've got Chai Spice and the new Tobaccos from FLV and am loving them. That RY4 is uniquely awesome. Nothing really fully developed yet, but having lots of fun tooling around. Here's a quicky:

1-2-3 Chai Tea

Flip-flop the top if you want a stronger spice.

I also ordered all the new Tobaccos from Chefs and their PB a couple weeks ago. Can't wait for them to get in! Hopefully shouldn't be long now... Darned "Royal Mail International Standard" shipping.

Still beats Fasttech, though XD

2 points
 
by hesheretteover 4 years ago

I can't contribute much as unfortunately I don't have any of the new flavors except for FLV RY4 (love it), but I am excited to get a more in depth look at new stuff. Extra excited for the new, weirdly named INW flavors: woodruff, lychee, tobaccos, gummy bear, yogurt and whatever else those weird names are supposed to be? Yes please! tbh I hadn't even realized INW had released new flavors

Is INW Tobacco Peach new? I don’t see anything on it, nor do I see anyone using it

2 points
 
by Muffinman252over 4 years ago

I'm definitely interested in how the new Flavorah fruit based flavors are. Especially seeing 2 of them are mixes which if good could be great as one shots or for new mixers. And I'm always interested in what Inawera is up to considering I'm a pole. Gotta represent!

2 points
 
by ImDonaldsColonover 4 years ago

I haven't boughted a lot of new flavors recently, But i gotta say the FLV sweet mango is actually pretty ok all by itself. some times I just want something simple thats not too complex. So Its pretty good by itself. Maybe it could be used in a Slushy or a mango tea recipe.

I have just discovered that Gremberry Farms has now Gremberry Flavors. Did I miss them until now or are they new?

And I think there were als some VSO flavors which are new like the passion fruit.

5 points
 
by gremlinjuiceover 4 years ago

They are new but before anyone spends a lot of money to try the "new" flavors, please notice the "LA" I added to the flavor icon on the site. They are new to me, but the brand will be familiar to most "LA" fans (or haters). I just have a hard time with myself if I'm not transparent enough with what I sell. Honesty is making me go broke. LOL We are no longer allowed to rebottle and resell certain name brands so we do what we have to do, right? :)

I do indeed mean Lorain. :) unmodified and unchanged. I like most of their flavors and will carry them as long as I can.

by ScotchBonnet96over 4 years ago

Took me way too long to realise FOTQ meant flavor of the quarter.

Inawera's flavours sound weird. Mix flavours that names combine to form something comprehensible. E.g. its a trap and joe boss. Or don vito gummybears.

Will it taste good? Probably not but it might

2 points
 
by Failyxover 4 years agoDiketones, Schmiketones

I‘ve kinda successfully used two of the new flv flavorings so far. Pearesto in my Tipsy Pear recipe (check atf) and Sweet Mango in a quick 1-2-3 Mango Passion Yogurt mix that isn’t public yet:
1% FLV Sweet Mango
2% VT Yellow Passion
3% MB Creamy Greek Yogurt
