Flavorah Oatmeal Raisin
chewymidget
Setup: Serpent Mini 25mm, Dual SS .22 ohms. 100W power, 500F temp limit. Full Cotton Wicks.
Testing: FLV Oatmeal Raisin @ .5% & 3% 60/40 VG/PG, Steeped 1 day, 3% Steeped 1 week.
Flavor Description: When used at .5% you get a predominantly raisin flavor from it with some more mellow baked oatmeal cookie notes in the background. It has a light brown sugary butter note that goes very well with the oatmeal flavor. It needs some help on the cookie side of it though. The raisin tastes inline to a dark fruit baked flavor that seems faithful to what it is suppose to be. This is a good base to work with if you're wanting to make a oatmeal raisin type flavor. It tastes pretty good even though it's just a tad bit unbalanced between the oatmeal and the raisin.
At 2.5%-3% this is absolutely rancid. You get a disgusting raisin taste that lingers in your tank/RDA similar to TFA Honeydew. Not much to say for this percentage because you simply do not want/need to use this flavor at this high of a percentage.
Off Flavors: The raisin flavor can be a little more forward than you might like but nothing you wouldn't expect to taste from this flavor.
Throat Hit: Nothing at .5%-3%.
Notes: First impressions were this flavor smells putrid. It's very off putting when you take a whiff from the bottle. This is a strong flavor that will over take everything in a mix if used too high. Keep this low; .25%-75% would be my recommendation.
Second Opinions:
Bullcityflavors review - This flavor smells strong out of the bottle. Smells almost overwhelming. It is a super turn off until you try it. I had it sitting around for 2 months because I was honestly put off. I mixed it at .25% and it is amazing. Wonderful oatmeal raisin cookie taste. Mix with custard, vanilla, marshmallow, frosting. Super good!!!
Alltheflavors has a recipe using it that I tried. All I could taste was a disgusting raisin mess; I personally think 2.5% is way too much.
I recommend this recipe a lot more.
