I ordered 4 of these flavors with my primary order just to try them. Feel free to post any reviews of the other flavors if you have them. Recommended 2% and up to taste per NicRivers website so I made 10ml testers @ 2% and here are my initial thoughts 12+ hours after mixing.

*All tested at 3mg 68/32 PG/VG (70/30 PG/VG premix base I use for testing) @ 80 watts in a Peerless RDA*

Blue Raspberry - First impression: Dial soap and Suave hairspray? Very chemically tasting, has no body and very dry. Made it hard to move to the next flavor but I did. I will make a 4% tester and let them both steep to make sure I'm not missing something or maybe I just enjoy torture :headbang:.

Blue Berry - First Impression: Very light floral blueberry. Not a bad flavor overall, I think it would be a really good bakery type blueberry @ 4-6%. Makes me think toward blueberry muffins. Will make 4 & 6% testers.

Cantaloupe - First Impression: Again, very light and floral. A good flavor actually, really nice balance between the rind and meat of a cantaloupe. I would say 4% would be a starting point with these as a SF, S&V. I have witnessed flavors that creep up on you after a week or so but really rare so if anything I assume these will fade slightly.

Graham Cracker - First impression: Medium flavor. Caramel? Brown sugar?. All I get is a caramelized brown sugar taste not really anything resembling a graham cracker. Its a dark bold flavor, small traces of a chemically taste... not feeling it honestly. I think 3-3.5% would get the full effect of this flavor but not sure I want it.

Overall: Not impressed obviously. With a name like "Revolution" I did expect a bit more but I wont pass full judgement until I have worked with these 4 a little more. On that same note I probably wont buy anymore until I figure these out, if there is anything to figure out.

Side note: I have 5+ years mixing experience I just don't post here much unless I feel like its useful information (Which there is already an abundance of, Thank You VU). Just wanted to say even though I'm not well known here ...I still have no earthly idea what the hell I'm doing o_O...

I have found good and bad in all of them, some more than others. There isn't many flavor manufactures I haven't tried. Wonder Flavors, Purilum, Flavorah and Delosi are newerish ones. All 4 have good and bad but I really have been enjoying Wonder Flavors and Purilum more that the other 2.

Thanks for your review, it was really good and useful.
One thing I have to comment on is what you said about the cantaloupe.
I've never eaten the rind of a melon, so have no idea what it tastes like, let alone vape like.
Have you?

Bull City Flavors
Must of took the question the wrong way, sorry. Since I was speaking to an individual manufacturer I assumed he meant what manufacturer do I recommend. Bull City Flavors I use the most, great service and fast shipping. I do shop at a few others but only in have to cases.

If I'm not mistaken Purilum and Flavor Revolution are both exclusive to Nicotine River.

Hey thanks I appreciate the kind words. That one is hard to explain I guess, maybe bad wording on my part. I haven't ate the (Rind, Hull, Shell?) outside of any fruit besides something like an apple. Best way I can figure out how to put it is if you bite too close to the inner portion closest to the (Rind, Hull, Shell?) outside. Not sure how else to describe it.
