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 IX
>>requested by Popular Demand
This is FOTW's 9th 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 new flavors that have been released since the last time we did this.
This is going to be a busy week for me (I've got newish Capella and newer Wonder Flavours AND Sobucky Super Aromas to sample) and a long night on Noted next week.
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

####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.
#MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
This title does not mean Flavor of The Quarter is going away, it means I plan to rename it to something more fitting for what it is. And, possibly more friendly to punny titles, if we're fully disclosing.
So far, the suggestions I've gotten have been... well...
- NewFlavor McFlavoryFace week
- Aromas Categorized And Berated
- Quarterly Analysis: Notes, Only Notes
- New Flavor Fuck Fest
- New Release Week
#Please help
otherwise it's going to wind up being one of these
This isn’t fair. Every degenerate, Reddit user on here is going to pick the one with curse words in it.
I'd imagine that a sick minded punmeister would have a field day if FOTQ was renamed First Crack
And I don't think I'd ever want to look at the FUN pics!
This is winning, someone try and beat it
FOTQ are possibly my favorite episodes. So many new releases to catch up on. Your doing the community a huge blessing. Hopefully most are palate pleasing.
Have you tried any of latest Capella and even newer Wonder Flavours or Sobucky Super Aromas flavors?
I haven't placed an order in awhile and unfortunately I don't think bullcity carries them all. I'm planning my next order for the 4th July sale, missed the memorial day sale.
Just to check, is there a good place to find a list of the newest releases?
!!DontPickMe!!
Go to wherever you buy flavors from and sort by newest
Well, now I feel like a dum dum.
I went to BCF and checked if they had a “new releases” link before I asked, but somehow didn’t think of that, though now that you’ve said it that seems like the most logical answer.
I used to mess around with mixing back in 2014. I've been thinking about playing around with it again lately, but I'm not sure where exactly to start. It's tempting to pick a recipe and buy all the flavors needed, but what if it's garbage?
How about a flavors to start off with. How to maximize your potential recipes with minimal investment.
Whatever your flavor profile is find one of the top rated recipes on ATF and buy the flavors for that. If you buy 10ml flavors it can't cost more than 10-15 not including the nicotine, PG and VG. I did the exact opposite and bought a ton of flavors and was stuck in a "well now what" cycle for a bit. Totally ignored all the advice I got from the OGs here.
Been mixing for almost two years now and I don't regret taking the plunge. I wish I'd of listened in the beginning but now I hope I can convince others to heed the warning.
I'm in the same boat bud. Haven't done an order in ages. Now have some of the newer cap, SSA, and a couple WF as well as the last fa releases I just haaaaaad to get but kept selling out so fast....now I need to make space for it all. Fuck. Also finally remembered to get that plain fw pecan - ecx of all places had a 30 of it although it doesn't look too fresh - so I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with that sans the added butter or maple or cream.
What are you looking forward to trying most of the 3 new? For me it's gotta be custard cake from cap, SSA lemon wafer, cream type, pancake by WF should be interesting as well as pb taffy, and idk for fa but cookie premium just has me very intrigued but all their daapy new stuff sounded pretty good as well as vanilla cookie.
Vso, & ssa both put out some bangers this past quarter! Excited to see the show. Sad that it's Dave, Emily, & Frictions last show. Thanks for all the work you guys put in over the years, to give us all this phenomenal resource! You will all be missed🙏🏻👊🏻✌🏻
