Cupcake World Intense Flavour - Strawberry

A very realistic strawberry, not over sweet, a natural as opposed to chemical flavour that a lot of strawberry concentrates have, you can almost taste the strawberry pips / seeds in it.

Blends well with other flavours especially chocolate, or with other fruits and creams, it can be sweetened easily without affecting overall flavour.

I mix at 10 -25%, depending on what other flavours are also in the mix and if I want it as the dominating flavour, or as part of a balanced fruit mix. As all mixes I allow 5 days to steep, this helps mellow and smooth the flavour and reduce any harshness.

Can be sweetened with Stevia or Ethyl Maltol without detracting from the flavour.


My overall score: 9/10

FlavourArt - Blackberry

One of many Blackberry concentrates I have tried, this one has a good depth of flavour, reasonably realistic and mixes well with other flavours.

Can be used as a stand alone flavour but works best with other fruits, custards, creams, candies, etc.

It is not overly sweet and will stand some sweetening if required for the mix. Lingering aftertaste of Blackberries in the mouth.

Can dominate other more subtle flavours so about 5% seems right for most mixes.

Rated 8/10

Cupcake World - Peach

This is a fairly strong flavour and aroma, mixed at 0.5 to 1 % with tobacco concentrate for a nice mellow vape.
8/10

Nice on it's own or with Tobacco flavours.

8/10

The Perfumers Apprentice – Black Cherry

A reasonably good dark cherry flavour, has a little chemical aftertaste, but OK if mixed with tobaccos. But, it is strong… A flavour that can easily overpower anything you mix it with.

Very strong, only needs between 1% and 5% when added to other flavours, gives a strong lasting, cherry taste.

Requires a few days steeping to finalise and fix the flavour, taints syringes, needles and bottles with cherry flavour.

Rated 7/10

Flavourart - Orange

This is a really nice orange with a kind of sharp citrus grapefruit like zing to it. Very refreshing and not too sickly. Leaves a nice aftertaste and the vapour produced is not offensive! Could easily vape all day by itself or with a drop of MTS/EM.

Do not use much as it can easily overpower everything else. I use 10% in a 60/40 pg/vg mix. Tried 15% and verging on too strong.

This can be vaped straight away, a day or so steeping helps but not essential.

Can really recommend this. Tastes great with a bit of chocolate/vanilla. For even more refreshing zing, a few drops of menthol or koolada rounds this off nicely.

My overall score: 9/10

Cupcake World Intense Flavour - Banana

I use this one a lot, however I admit that there are other makes that are just as good flavour wise, but the pricing makes this better value for money for me.

A very rich Banana that blends well with other flavours and like most CCW fruit flavours, it can be sweetened with stevia or Ethyl Maltol without harming the flavour.

I mix at 15 -20%, depending on what other flavours are also in the mix. As all my mixes I allow 5 days to steep, this helps mellow and smooth out the flavours and reduce any harshness.


My overall score: 8/10

Cupcake World Intense Flavour - Pear

Wow, this one needs gentle handling, It is strong and can be harsh, but ideal when you need a burst of flavour. Fruity, verging on sharp, clean and unmistakably Pear.

Blends nicely with other flavours and like most CCW fruit flavours, it can be sweetened with stevia or Ethyl Maltol, to taste.

I use 10% to 15%, when blending with other flavours as a mix, or as high as 22% for a strong stand alone Pear (with 5% Ethyl Maltol)

As all my mixes I allow 5 days to steep, this helps smooth out the flavour and reduce any first mix harshness that you get from such a strong flavour.

My overall score: 9/10

Cupcake World Intense Flavour - Rhubarb

I didn't like this one by itself, but then I don't like rhubarb by itself either. It did have that rhubarb thing about it, but I think not quite the right taste. I mixed at 20%

It wasn't as fruity as I expected.

It worked well in a mix with ginger, graham cracker, almond and vanilla. If you don't like ginger then I'd still mix it with something to take the edge off it (but then I feel like that about rhubarb)

Score 6/10

Tutti Fruitti - Flavour Art

Recommended mixed @2-5% . Tested mixes 5%/10%/20% and found it best to mix at 20% as it is not a strong flavour.

Appearance: Clear coloured. Price: around £3.00 per 10ml From:

To me it tastes exactly like juicy fruit chewing gum ~ a mix of peach, pineapple and banana. It is a very nice vape indeed, if a little weak on taste.

I could happily vape it all day.

Rating: 8/10

Smoked Plum - Inawera

I find Inawera flavours very concentrated - a little goes a VERY long way. I used 5 drops in a 5 ml base and the flavours come through strong. They also smell very strong and some smell quite perfumy. I find this smells nice and rich.

This is quite a complex flavour. The smokiness is quite prominent and is followed by subtle but strong plum notes. I wasnt sure if I liked it at first but it grows on you. Its quite well balanced and for me 5 drops in 5ml is strong enough you could probably get away with 3/4 drops in 5ml.

This does benefit from a good few days steep. I have not tried mixing it with anything as Im not sure it would be of any benefit.

This will be a marmite juice, love it or hate it.

My overall score: 7/10

Banana - Wera Gardens Inawera

This is very strong. Wera Gardens seem to be some of the most concentrated flavours I have come across.

The banana really smells strong, some people have said it smells like bubblegum. You can smell it outside the bottle.

I mixed this at 5% and it was too strong for me. Tasted better after a few days steep as it mellowed. It does taste of ripe bananas and is quite natural tasting. This would definitely taste nice mixed with a cream or custard. If you love banana juice then this would be right up your street.

They recommend 5 drops in 7ml. This for me is still very strong indeed.

Overall Rating: 8/10 - maybe 9/10 considering how little you actually need to use to get decent flavour.

Grapefruit - Inawera

This one comes in a glass dropper bottle. I presume this is because it destroys plastic!

This is a really nice flavour. The aroma is gorgeous, really strong zingy grapefruit makes your teeth go funny when you smell it.

This is again really concentrated. I tried 3% and it tastes exactly like biting into a grapefruit, at 5% its is very strong.

You can vape this by itself. Its a very sharp vape and would wake you up in the morning. I combined a couple of drops of this with Flavourart orange and its stunning.

Overall rating: 10/10 - amazing.
