I've been a big fan of Iced Lemon Tea from Flavour Arts for a while, recently tried the Kandi-hed Iced Lemon Tea, thought I'd do a compare:

Authenticity: Both are quite authentic flavours,  you get tea and lemon in good measure in both - the FA has the edge here, as I get the tannins and that nice malty flavour in the tea, if you prefer your tea with less tannin (eg lighter teas like Darjeeling, rather than heavy ones like Assam) then go for the KH 

Coldness: There is hardly any in the KH, but a fair amount in the FA, funnily enough, if I was doing a comparison a year ago I'd probably have preferred the KH just because of this - but now I like a bit of menthol/ice in my mixes.

Sweetness: The KH tastes much sweeter than the FA to me

Strength: I mix the FA @ 4% and it gives me plenty of flavour, I mixed KH @ 20% as recommended on the bottle and this was also just right for me 

Value for money: the FA is £3.20 for 10ml, the KH £1.45. However, taking into account the difference in strength the FA will get me around 250ml of juice and the KH around 50ml (I think this works out at 12p per ml for FA and 29p for KH).

Overall: I prefer the taste (and the price!) of the FA, but the KH is a nice flavour, too, good for a change, so I'd buy it again if I saw it going really cheap in a sale.

I have not tried either in a mix - but the KH might be a better bet for this, just on the basis you wont be using tiny fractions of % to make a difference.

Be interested to hear other people's thoughts.



Happy mixing

Sad, once of the true greats...

Made up what should be the last testers for a while, all 10 mls:

TFA Caramel Cappucino - as everyone says - super strong - I've started @ 3%
Capella Peaches and Cream @ 9.30% (the .30 was an accident)
TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust @ 8%
Tequila - Solub Arome @ 8%
Margarita - Solub Arome @ 7%

Also, a couple of clone recipes:
Dragons Blood:  www.kritikalmass.net/proddetail.asp?prod=DRAGONS-BLOOD-CLONE
Halo Belgian Cocoa www.kritikalmass.net/proddetail.asp?prod=Halos-Belgian-Cocoa-Clone . Very excited about this - have been looking for a use for my FA Dark Vapure since I went off tobacco flavours - and it already smells fantastic (hope its not a dissapointment....)!

No, thebishman , not even if it's a rule.

Besides, it's a made up rule.

Then again, all rules are made up rules.

I mean someone has to make up the rules, don't they?

And where would we all be if everyone went around not following the rules just because someone made them up?

Rainbow vapes seems to have the full new range of extra strong Real flavours in  link

if its true that they mix at 1-2%, and they are any good, this would be fantastic value @ 1.89p for 10ml.

I am soooooo tempted.....    but I just must not get any more damn concentrates, can't keep up with the ones I've got!
