Setup: Geekvape Tsunami 24mm; 7 wrap 24/32awg kanthal dual claptons @ .32Ω; cotton wicks; 60 W
Testing: Hangsen - Peanut Butter @ 3% & 6%; Aged: 12 days
Flavor description: Somewhat salty and dry, yet thick peanut butter with rather dominant taste of roasted peanuts at 3%. At 6% the roasted peanut is coming through much harder as borderline burnt and over-bearing, with not much peanut butter taste. It coats my mouth/throat, causing the flavor to linger quite a bit longer than most others.
Off-flavors: The nuts taste overly toasted at higher percentages and kind of take over the peanut butter. If you use too much of this flavor, after a month or two steep, it develops an aroma of smashed beetles when you vape it.
Throat hit: 2/10 Pretty smooth
Uses: A pleasant and unique nutty light peanut butter accent under 1.5%, doesn't seem to carry a whole lot of peanut butter "feel" until you get above 2%. I'd max this out around 4 or 5 % unless the inherent over-roasted peanut taste doesn't bother you.
Pairings: A cream or two for starters if you're chasing a more "Skippy-esque" peanut butter. Nuts, tobaccos, custards and bakeries. Fruits might be tricky with this flavor after a steep, but berries and fleshy fruits are great pairings with this as a shake n vape. Citrus with this one is interesting and offers a fairly sharp contrast in flavor, but again it gets lost after a week or ten days steep.
Notes: I was really hoping for a creamier peanut butter as sort of a "be all end all" over at /r/GooberGrapeVape. This isn't really a bad peanut butter flavoring IMO, it just isn't what I was hoping for, and still has its uses.
