Maple

[AJT]

I’m finding this cap caramel is ok, not great though. I wouldn’t puff caramel by itself anyway but comparing this to the FA one I usually use it tastes a bit off. Sleep girly
burnt with a hint of chemical. But it does have a mapley note.

Mines in a mix soaking..

TFA caramel candy is quite nice, as is TFA English toffee, but they do need 5% plus, even as an accent, I found. The best caramel I've had is Dulce de Lethe. I think it was the TFA one, and it's very potent. Useful as low as 1%.

There is a dulce with caramel and one without.
The one with caramel is really good.
The one without is meh.

Aye I’d had a look at that. Reviews seemed very split, it seems you love it or hate it. My feeling was I could replicate something like it, so was more motivated to go just for these 2 caramels to see how they will do in my mixes.

Not tried the FW one yet. The cap one I think might be very useful in blends, and it might still lose the funny elements in the flavour with a wee while to sit.

You would like the TFA one with caramel as it's really potent.
I'd say it's more like an English toffee with a deeper taste.
Couple of % in a mix is enough for me and i like my juice flavours strong.

TFA? I might have a look. Has it got diacetyl?

Yeah TFA.
Don't know about diacetyl.

Caramel original is ok, but make sure it's the one called 'caramel original' and not any of the other versions ..... it's not not as good as FW salted caramel imo. .. so personally I wouldn't bother.

A lot of these flavours I get, when you puff them on their own, have all this notes of impurity in the taste. TFA especially, these two caramels have it too (capella and FW). I’ll leave them a while and see if it steeps away, but this is why I usually stick mostly with FA and atmos labs. You don’t really get this. The flavours and very clean and mostly taste like what they say they are.

On my ongoing testing/whittling down list FA are doing really well in the Almond and Vanilla categories, but poor in the pastry and cookie sections. .... it is interesting though, I am starting to see a pattern in what flavours I like anyway.
