Wow
It's a bold statement 1-2.5%
I'll be watching the thoughts on these

Mixers on the ELR Forums have been experimenting with the super-concentrate range for a few months and, from skimming through the long thread, I don't remember them finding any nasty flavours.  It's kind of alarming to find recipes they say are great with total flavouring at ~4%!  

And reviews should start appearing soon on US-based forums as Real Flavors did a US-only promotion last weekend and offered 1000 x 30ml(ish) bottles for just the postage cost.  After being deluged by mixers, they apparently sent out 4000!

Thanks for that
Very interesting this and is making me want to spend

ceedee - Do you know if that was 4% combining flavours or for a single?

Went for it

Cinnamon toast, grape, bubble gum, ginger ale and blackcurrant.....

DAMM! Forgot the chill and fried chicken 

Well done ghostrider1971 , be really interested to hear what you think of them.

I would also like someone to try the fried chicken, as long as it's not me!

Some things are better experienced at second hand.....

I know it seems crazy!  

For instance, BoyHowdy's Filthy Fritter V1 (a yumberry doughnut) uses 2.75% flavouring
but down in the notes he suggests the Yumberry may need another 0.75%.

There are more recipes and lots (and lots) of taste notes buried in this stupidly long ELR Forum thread if you dare dive in...

I'm diving

[minime]

I'm not looking.

[jtc]

Hmmm they're looking good me thinks

God damn it! More concentrates. I tried their standard ones and didn't really get much out of them...however I'm a fan of juice factory and vape zones super line...so hopefully I haven't wasted a tenner. I'll update when I get them on Wednesday;)

I had a bit of a time getting anything out of the RF originals, too - I did a tester of their Baklava @ 6% which I forgot about in the draw for at least 4 weeks (maybe longer)  and it tasted fantastic - then made up 30ml, tried it two weeks later and got zero flavour. So I left it alone again for another 2 weeks and, when I came back to it, it was as good as the tester.

Concentrates received today....

Have mixed up samples of Cinnamon toast, Bubblegum and Mint (ran out of bottles.....bah!!!)

Went for 2.5% on all three

[ghostrider1971]

Initial thoughts:

Bubblegum - smells like bubblegum (good start...) - tried it as a literal shake n vac - tastes of nothing (steep time!)
Mint - Smells like a mouthwash (not a bad thing...)
Cinnamon toast - Smells nice in the concentrate bottle - rather sweet - doesn't smell of much in the bottle after mixing...

Am now curious

[solac77]

Well I ordered them on Monday and I've got them today!! Amazing.

Molasses at 2.5 tried a quick shake and vape there's something there but gonna hide it away.
Butterscotch and fried dough medley at 2.5

And I'm just about to knock a 10ml sample of rice crispy treat and go for 4% just to see....

*preens*

Haven't given in, temptation is there but I can't fit any more concentrates in the cupboard and have a box full that I need to try before I go buying anything else.

It will indeed be interesting to see how these new ones pad out as I am really disappointed with the VG ones I've got.
