Hello, Ms. Lucy!
@HeadInClouds wrote at length regarding the the nuances of FA flavorings. While subjectivity always enters into these descriptions, HIC has a remarkable palate and the ability to express well his impressions. Of FA peanut, he wrote that it tastes boiled, not roasted. I've never tasted a boiled peanut nor am I anxious to do so but I bought this stuff before I read HIC's description and whatever this tastes like, I've not found a use for it.
@Heabob is an exceptional source of information. If you ask him about gooseberry flavoring, he will name the six or eight different brands he's tried and his impressions of each. As with HIC, I've not gone wrong following his recommendations but this mixing of CAP and TFA peanut butter is indicative that some DIYers are missing PB affinity gene which you and I share. The result of this unholy union is that it's just not good enough and mixing two flavors to get one sorta passable flavoring shouldn't be necessary.
Many vapers complain that commercial liquids flavored with PB taste wrong and I shared that opinion prior to mixin' my own. As a consequence, I have tried a number of PB flavorings in search of the Holy Grail which, apparently doesn't exist. Nonetheless, I was confident that, much like self-gratification, I could handle it to my personal satisfaction.
A couple have emerged, not as the best of the best but the best of those that I've tried so far. Actually, pretty damn yummy. To find out what these are, tear off the top of your piano and mail it with just $19.95 to ....
OK, reset. Soon to appear at BCV thanks to their willingness to stock virtually any customer request (bless 'em) Hangsen PB is accurate (think Jif) and mixes well. It hasn't been available in the US since BuyHangsen.com joined the annals of Internet history, so BCV's willingness to stock it is a goodness. A recently acquired version by Flavorah shows great promise but it just came in yesterday so has passed only the sniff test.
Since I've not done so previously, Lucy, welcome to VU. They said you'd meet some interesting people here and I'm one of 'em except for the interesting part. Fun place, huh?
