Those alcohol-based flavorings from the Chinese brand SC, not the Real Flavor SC line.

I was looking through BullCity, and SC 10mLs are $3.99 with practically no reviews. They're also barely used on E-liquid Calculator. What's the deal with these flavors? Are they from a company called Vaping Zone (VZ)? Cause I see a lot of Flavor Name (SC) (VZ) on E-liquid Calculator. It's been damn impossible finding anything on these flavors and I'm not about to spend $80 to try their line...

I thought about buying one of those SC's from China but the problem is I thought about it. Pretty sure the word China is the reason many haven't tried them. If super concentrates are what your after I suggest trying Flavourah. They may be great flavors but I wouldn't buy but one and see how that goes.

@wllmc, which SC concentrates are you using?


I use the ones from Bull CIty they are the same ones as vaping zone flavors not sure where they come from , the Chinese ones I think are flavor express but don't quote me on that though they may very well both be Chinese or neither Chinese haha... IDK as far as the VZ/BCF ones go I like most of them, not my go to flavors but I normally grab them before I grab inawera for sure. they are no where near as alcohol-y as the more popular brands( Inawera,TFA,Liquid Barn) most of them are shake and vape to me. very concentrated and probably why they are like a dollar more.
off the top of my head because Im rolling out to work in a minute the ones I keep around are blueberry,strawberry,caramel creme puff, banana, and pineapple is the best. taste like those white pineapple gummy bears :)

red apple is gross, raspberry finds a few uses here and there and coconut is just ok

thats all I can think of right now. If anyone does try them remember important to start low on these

Thanks for the info! I ordered Mango, Melon, Red Apple, and Raspberry earlier this morning... Couldn't help myself. If they're good, I'll try more but my expectations are meh. Is the SC line pretty true to flavor (like a fruit tasting like a actual fruit), or do they tip towards the candy side? I only do fruits, sometimes using candy as a fruit sweetness enhancer.

they lean more to the candy-ish side.I also use them as enhancers the blueberry is pretty close to realistic, at least to me anyways. its very potent the smell is almost to much for me but luckily taste better than it smells haha. it was the first vaping zone flavor I tried and my wife fell in love with it and wont vape another brand of blueberry anymore i personally still like FA but Ive been using the super concentrates for a couple years probably since then, Ive added a few to my arsenal Ill add some better reviews on this thread for you in a bit like I said not my go to flavor but for myself Im glad Ive had them around

I think VZ recomends like 2.5% for everything and thats pretty high for some of them Id definitely work up on these if I start using these to high they let me know and I get a weird metal like taste like the inawera flavors taste to me.

Pineapple 1-2%... my favorite pineapple flavor of any, not fresh pineapple but an almost dead on white gummy bear. its the best for pina colada style vapes and is a perfect match for TFA coconut extra. if you have one or the other but not both you are missing out. as far as combo pairing its one of my favorites even though normally Im not much into those types of flavors.

Blueberry 0.25 and up... I say 0.25 because it can easily overwhelm a recipe especially when working with other low usage flavors like FA and inawera.
its a dark blueberry flavor than can go either direction, it makes a good candy flavor or grazes the edge of realistic. as a single flavor Ive used up to 2% but thats pretty much full flavor. this is the wifes favorite blueberry flavor and likes it either standalone or just gets 30mls of GOC and throws a squirt of this in it lol, she is a more carefree mixer than I am ha.

strawberry 0.5-2%....this is a more candy strawberry and kinda reminds me of inawera strawberry just better lol. I use this one lightly as an enhancer or these days when I get a strawberry banana request I just mix this with the VZ banana and call it good.

Grape.... hard to say much about this one other than a little like grape koolaide. dont really like it, sometimes I try to make it work but it never sticks in any recipes usually

Peach 1-2%... darker peach flavor. I got it because I had read some really great things about it but for me its not something I use much of unless someone doesnt like the other peach flavors I have lol. kinda boring and plain

Red Apple 0%... not for me some might like it

Caramel Cream Puff . a couple drops per 10ml.. very potent. start with just a few drops and work yourself up to wherever you like it best. to me it doesnt really taste like a caramel cream puff but more like a caramel cappuccino or coffee or something like that. I really like it but normally only if Im on a coffee vape binge

Banana 1-2% banana candy but not overly sweet runts like Inawera but maybe taffey I enjoy this much more than the inawera flavor and pretty much replaced most my banana recipes with it. mixes well with FA banana . FA is still my favorite as far as flavor but I find this one more useful.

Coconut 0.5-2% .. nothing to write home about. dryer that FA but not as dry as inawera. kinda realistic its ok for using lightly to fluff things up but for me FA covers that

Raspberry 0.25 -1% .. another super strong flavor that overpowers mixes so go easy when mixing and work up . this one usually needs a day or so to taste its best. kinda funky at first

I've been using VZ-SC Blackberry at 1.6%.
Plenty strong and it's one of the best Blackberries I've tried since FE Blackberry is no longer available.
No perfume smell or taste.

I like that .25% FA Walnut in the mix. Seems like it would provide some nice nut complexity without taking anything away from the other peanut flavors.

I'll have to give that a try.

thanks :) thats kinda the idea with it but its really there for the banana, I use FA walnut or FA nut mix a lot with banana vapes. I knew it would add depth to the banana and pull a slightly more real or just away from candy just enough without interfering with the PB flavor much and the nutty flavors would kinda get in line where they belong. Its not exactly realistic banana but its not runts either :)

Yep I cannot tolerate most INW flavorings either.
Chemical taste.

red apple is gross

Man, so gross. I just got it, SC Red Apple a very dark perfumery red apple. I say dark as in grape, berries. There's some chalky candy, but no sweetness. The alcohol base makes a nail polish smell, but that'll probably dissipate with steeping.

Has anybody worked with SC Melon? Smells mostly like Honeydew, but without the sweetness. Tasted it, doesn't have that face crinkling concentration taste. Can anyone suggest a starting percentage?

I tried the red energy. It's really strong stuff. It got way better with a steep. If you like this kind of stuff its one of the better ones.

I haven't tried their non tobaccos yet, but I've tried several of the SC tobaccos, all supplied by BCV. Overall they're pretty nice,and a couple are really good. Cohiba and Black and Mild are winners. Only one that's been problematic is Arabic, it has a heavy floral soapyness that I can't make go away.

They can be challenging, though not impossible, to mix with. At over 2% they're prone to becoming harsh and metallic. Some of them, like Island, are especially pungent and need time to level off. Not to say they're bad, but they're rather unforgiving. I've had some nice results combining with INW TA's, such as
SC Island Tobacco 2%
SC Cohiba 2%
INW Cuban Cigar Absolute 0.75%
Not very usable S&V, but given a month or so to smooth out...

I got the Blueberry a while back. Haven't done much with it yet. I'm kinda taking my time learning how all the blueberries differ.

Also got a 5ML sample thrown my way of the Cappuccino. I made a recipe with it a while back I'm gunna try today.
