####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.
FW Kiwi. Final answer.
Is the question, what tastes like artificially kiwi-flavored snow cone syrup?
Triple Double - Apple Watermelon kiwi
2.8% CAP Double Apple 3.6% CAP Double Watermelon 2.8% TFA Kiwi(Double)
random experiment from a few years ago that turned out pretty good. i used 1% supersweet because i have a horrible sweet tooth.

We need a donut week!
Sure, it's been two years, I'll add donut back on the schedule. But I think the quickest answer you're looking for is https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/232719#deeznuts_by_eyemsam
I just pray that you guys find a REAL kiwi soon because they're all candy or something unique(that I've found)
So far FA Kiwi is the closest I've tried and as you're probably aware it's far from perfect. But I've not tried VSO Kiwi or Medicine Flower Kiwi yet and have high hopes for them. Or maybe INW, FE, CNV, HS, or CdD will surprise me.
I've never actually bought/owned any kiwi flavors. But when I do a search for kiwi in ATF, the top one is FA Kiwi with 2345 recipes, followed by TPA Kiwi (Double) with 988, and then FW Kiwi with 766. After that there's a big drop off with CAP Kiwi with 153. So, basically what I'm saying is that I'm excited to see what other kiwi flavors are out there to add them to my wishlist.
The last time Kiwi was the FOTW, I had only tried FW Kiwi, FA Kiwi, TFA Kiwi Double, VT Kiwi, OoO Kiwi (Natural), CAP Kiwi, FLV Kiwi, FW Strawberry Kiwi, CAP Kiwi Strawberry with Stevia, LA Strawberry Kiwi, and RFSC Strawberry Kiwi Taffy. I’ve tried MB Coctail Kiwi since then. Now I get to add INW Kiwi, MF Kiwi, VSO Kiwi, Rule7 Kiwiberry Candy, FW Kiwi (Natural), FE Kiwi, CNV Kiwi, HS Kiwi Mix, and CdD Kiwi Gold to that list. Anyone have any insight into those?
I hope some other host or guest has PUR Kiwi to complement your collection, it was actually above average.
I just bought like 5 or 6 flavors along with all the necessary materials and stuff to start making my own juice. Do most people end up racking up flavor collections like this or are you a huge outlier?
This shit is pretty intimidating.
No need to feel intimidated. You already have everything you really need. I'm just a living cautionary tale about what can happen if you get sucked in too deep.
As a fellow Kiwi myself I could definitely use some more kiwi in my arsenal. Particularly for a strawberry kiwi Pavlova recipe that I so desperately want to make.

FA Kiwi is a great Kiwi flavor. Lots of comments about wanting a real kiwi flavor as opposed to more candy. Real kiwi has a must to it to me from the center white piece. Not sure if anyone would want that replicated in their flavoring. Smells like baby batter.
My kiwi stash is seriously lacking at 4. I love kiwi fruit so much in real life. I also love kiwi birds, they're cute as shit + fun to draw/ paint.
I do seem to have 2 Kiwi flavors that u/ID10-T didn't list: FR Kiwi + FM Kiwi! I doubt either one are worthwhile lol, but I'll try them out so that I can contribute in the Noted chat during Monday's livestream. I'll post notes here if I can remember to (or if someone reminds me)
Is this too soon to remind you?
I totally missed this notification!
FM Kiwi 5%: oh man, this flavor makes it very obvious as to why Chef's recently discontinued selling FM. It's kiwi-ish but I can't get past the drying mouthfeel + overly perfumey floral notes. It was so off-putting I didn't even bother to try it at 2-3% like I normally would bc I'd rather not do that to myself again.
FR Kiwi 3%: this was a super nice surprise! everything I've read about FW Kiwi (which I haven't tried) seems to also perfectly describe this flavor. Probably a good thing bc FR isn't readily available now that River doesn't sell to the public. If Jolly Ranchers made a Kiwi flavor, this concentrate would be that in vape form. I loved it. Candied, full-body, tasty, slightly juicy kiwi. Hopefully I can compare this to FW soon.
Would love to see a mint week! Wintergreen & Spearmint specifically. I've been trying to clone a commercial mix that isn't made anymore, & that would be extremely helpful.
