Flavourings Review Sub Board

[Perpetua]

Just before I ask Chrissie to create one for us, thought it would be an idea to see the format everyone would like it to operate with.

Only because it strikes me that it could be very muddly and time consuming to trawl through a plethora of threads to find any information of value, if we didn't have a little organization to our flavouring reviews.

Poll added.

I can see the value of both the first two, but on reflection, the flavouring category would mean if you were looking say for a coffee flavour, the flavour thread should contain reviews about (eventually) all the flavouring houses.

Does that make sense?? ???

[timnowvapes]

Makes sense, but might have to have a Misc. for juices that aren't easy to pop in to a specific category , or a section where a review can be posted and moved by a mod

But it's not for juices, it's for flavours, or have I (probably) misunderstood you Tim?

It does, perfect sense Roger . . . my thinking is to post a thread(s) with for example . . .

Coffee Flavours . . . then everyone could post their reviews, regardless of where it's come from, of that flavour concentrate.

Which then leads to the next question, what Categories would everyone like to see.

[Brian]

Does this mean then, we will have a seperate thread for each category or supplier/vendor?
Thats a lot of threads IMO. Especially if going by supplier. There are so many nowadays.

Maybe "category" is a better option...... Sweet/Dessert...... Tobacco....... Savoury......

[timnowvapes]

so we're not talking of juice flavours then, just flavour flavouring for mixing of juices? I all confuzzled

I think it would make sense to group the flavours by type:

• easier to compare different vendors' versions of similar flavours
  
• easier to find vendors of a desired flavour
  

I imagine that a two level hierarchy could also be useful, eg:

• Tobaccos
  
• Fruits
  
• Drinks (soft)
  
• Drinks (alcoholic)
  
• Desserts
  
• Savoury
  
• and so on...
  

...with for example fruits expanding to:

• Stawberry
  
• Peach
  
• Melon
  
• Apple
  
• Tomato
  
• Avocado
  
• and so on...

That would take a heck of a lot of work to set-up IMO.

Just grouping similar categories together would be nice to read, and easy to see how each compare without having to jump pages.

I have thought about it and I am going to buck the trend and go for "By Flavour House" to my mind it will be simpler to look up a certain flavour by manufacturer... also as new "Flavour suppliers" are found / used then it will be simple to add them in....

Just my thoughts....

Ok, for me it would be by flavour.
take for instance I want to buy some more Cinnamon Red Hots Flavour, not every manufaturer does that flavour so I'd have to trawl through all the different companies to find what I'm looking for. If it was categorized by Tobacco/Fruit/beverages etc then I could find my section under Cinnamon Red hots and see who does that. Much simpler for me.

Indeed - It would take a fair bit of effort to set up.

I'm thinking though that the end result though would be that we could go to a single page on the forum and have a list of all the (for example) vanilla flavours making it very to go through them, compare them and find a vendor.

The reason I'm suggesting this is because I would expect this would be the main reason why people here would use a flavourings section.

The way the board is organised should make it easier for people to use so maybe we've jumped a step here: how do people envisage using this?

[Roger]

Whichever way it's done it will take a fair bit of setting up. I am more than happy to volunteer my services to assist in any way.

Yes Tim, flavourings for diy mixing, there is already a juice reviews sub forum.
