Maple

[Simon G]

I assume you've looked at Chefs Flavours? It's rare you can't find everything there.

yeah, it's just more expensive for half the stuff I buy.

lol, kind of... although They are really good on their own, so I would rate them highly for what they are and I don't see why they wouldn't work in other types of vape.

I think FA hazelnut is very authentic but it's like munching on fresh raw hazelnuts to me and doesn't have much of a nice 'body', I prefer WF Hazelnuts and Cream which is a much smoother creamier hazelnut and nicer to vape imo even if it's not as authentic and
Flavour West Hazelnut which is like a buttery hazelnut spread.... I think both would make a nice vape in most situations.

Cheers, I'll have a look at that then. I really like FA hazelnut, its just that its like vaping razorblades to me. I've tried to smooth it out into custards and creams to no avail.

It's kind of grainy but I don't think it's that bad, what % are you using of it?

The WF Hazelnuts and Cream makes a nicer vape all round to me though, and the FW Hazelnut is great if you don't mind the buttery spread taste, it works well in pastries and things like that.

I've been down to 0.1% too far, couldn't even taste it I'm pretty sure its me, I have that reaction to a few flavours - strawberry (ripe), juicy peach and either sweet cream or cream fresh. They either rip my throat out or I wake up feeling like I've been smoking concrete, my lungs are so painful.
Its specifically those tho, I'm fine with other strawbs or peaches.

yeah, I was using it around 0.5% until I stopped using it.

I've been through ton of flavours in the last few months, some I think are pretty terrible or there's just better options around. Flavor West have been a big surprise for me ..... the 'Hazelnut' and the 'Salted Caramel' both taste excellent. ... as does 'Pralines and Cream' 'Butterscotch Ripple' 'Cinnamon Roll' and 'Caramel Cinnamon Roll' .... I think you could make some amazing mixes just using those or even just vape them solo.... actually thinking about it I expect 'Caramel Cinnamon Roll' is just salted caramel and cinnamon roll together.

Some of their other flavours I think are just dire though... lol.

Capella Caramel, despite it's name it's the closest to a rich maple syrup I've tried.

if you are looking to mix it with tobaccos I would recommend that.

... if you want Caramel too, Flavor West Salted Caramel is really good, again despite it's name, it's a proper rich creamy caramel that goes great with tobaccos.

I've been messing around with those two a lot lately, they both have depth, some richness and nothing weird going on.

I will grab some Capella Caramel..give it a go..it’s just to add to a mix to give it a little something..I’m liking the maple in some sweet tobacco liquids.

The different companies definitely have their own strengths and weaknesses, When I first started, all four months ago , I remember getting the impression there were certain traits with each brand - Inawera: very strong, FA: "the best", TPA: every flavour imaginable but budget etc, and then there was the also rans, like FW or 1on1 who were kind of not really much good but ok at a pinch, or even just straight up food flavourings and not pretending to be anything else.
The more I've got into mixing I realise thats all nonsense, and most companies try to make their products different to fill a gap. Want candy-style? try X, want a more realistic taste? try Y. Want it with cream? try Z.

Yeah, I agree. ... and all of them have great and not so great flavours.

yup, try 1-2% in there, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

... it has a nice dark richness, like a sweet brown sugar with maple syrup top notes.

I've added it to a lot of things and it's never made them worse.
