Worst flavourings you have come across?

[method1]

I've got a growing list which includes:
Most coffee flavours, the worst for me being FW Cafe Coffee.. absolutely vile. A cross between mud, oil & burnt wimpy coffee.
The infamous TFA honey & cheesecake flavours.
INW Wild Strawberry
CAP Bacon
TFA White Chocolate (aka pepper spray)
CAP Glazed Donut (aka play dough)
TFA Ripe Banana
TFA Coconut Extra

 

[Soutie]

Now @Rob Fisher and @TommyL have got me thinking:

2% FA Bread Crust
4% Bacon
1.5% Flavorah Brie Cheese
0.5% TFA Ripe Banana
0.5% FA Black Fire

for a slightly charred toasted bacon, banana and cheese? You okes don't have to vape it. @BumbleBee and I will polish off the lot. Unless @Soutie gets there first.

Sounds yum

CAP Glazed Donut has been pretty good to me lately, however I have to agree on the White Chocolate, pepper spray is pretty accurate

TFA White Chocolate (aka pepper spray)

Oh no, I just bought some of that. Damn, I was so hoping to mix it with cookie and berries for a chocolate-coated cookie with glace fruit on top.

You're definitely on to something there @RichJB but I'd up the banana ripe to at least 3% and season it with a bit of that peppery TFA VBIC, 8% really hits the spot.

Seems to be love hate with the cap glazed, sadly i'm in the latter camp even at low %

You might be one of the lucky people who doesn't get the pepper note from it.. alternately just use it at 0.01% and a 10ml bottle will last a lifetime!

TFA Tiramisu

Actually very good as long as you don't use it above 0.0% in recipes.

 

[RichJB]

@BumbleBee, I reckon that TFA White Choc would serve as seasoning and then bridge the bacon and banana, while adding a creamy note to really make the cheese pop. I'm pretty sure I heard Wayne saying that on a recent In The Mix.

 

[method1]

Also - FA Pineapple - of the mainstream FA flavourings this is by far the most revolting, even HIC notes that it tastes like onion to some people

Yep I've noticed, I'm just glad I can enjoy it.


Anyone ever get off notes on CAP Dragon Fruit? Tastes like sweat

You don't even have to use it, just the smell is enough to put you off

I get sweat / burnt hair from all dragonfruit flavours especially before a mix is well steeped. Not a big fan of the DF but luckily steeping helps.

I see a popular clone recipe actually uses TFA Tiramisu. Maybe there is hope for this one.

FIVE-STAR TIRAMONT (creamy vanilla-coffee milkshake, full of complex flavor)
1% FA Tiramisu
0.5% FA Vanilla (any of them work great here; I use Tahiti)
0.5% FA Vienna Cream
0.5% FA Fresh Cream
0.5% FA Maple Syrup
0.5% FA Coconut (also good with Nut Mix)
0.5% FA Jamaican Rum

Ps. I think the creator dedicated it to his wife after he found out she has been sleeping around.

FA Tiramisu and TFA Tiramisu are completely different. FA is much much better.

 

[RichJB]

@KZOR, I think that's FA Tiramisu, a very different beast.

I don't get along with FA tiramisu either, has a weird sour coffee taste that I don't like, but I think I'm in the minority there.

 

[RichJB]

I like FA Tiramisu although when I open my mixing case (big plastic trunk) the whole house reeks of it. It's never leaked, it just came like that. Even when the Courier Guy guy was handing it over, I could smell tiramisu. I thought the bottle had broken/cracked but it was all intact. When I first mixed it, I thought I might perhaps use it to degrease an engine block. Luckily it calmed down after about three weeks and vaped quite tasty.

I haven't used it at a standalone. I've only ever used it at 0.1%-0.5%.

That's weird. According to Vapour Valley it is the same.
https://valleyvapour.co.za/product-category/bulk-flavour-concentrates/tfa-30-100-ml/

Whenever I order those I get Fa flavourings.

The only person who can make Dragon Fruit taste incredible good is @Mike

FA = Flavor Art
Fa = Flavor Apprentice (formerly TFA)

yeah even in that range I do not like it.

 

[RichJB]

No, that's Fa as opposed to FA. You can see it in your recipe. Fa (TFA) don't make a Vienna Cream or Fresh Cream or Jamaican Rum or Vanilla Tahiti. All the concentrates in that recipe are Flavour Art.

 

[Soutie]

Maybe not worst, but TFA honeydew II. It totally dominates a recipe even at a few drops per 30ml. could never find a use for it any any mixture though single flavour it isn't too bad.
