ACCURACY : 🔴 🔴 🔴 ⚪ ⚪ CLOSE - BUT COULD BE BETTER
🔹 Flavor Description 🔹
Mongrel RDA SS316L 3*28/38 3mm ID spaced 5/6 wrap.
1% Very slight sweetness with the typical Sucralose after taste. Nasty bitter, light and airy milk nothingness. Poor flavor of not yet burnt sugar that’s almost caramelized.
1.75% Slightly sweet, cooked milk and caramelized sugar is starting to really come out now.
2.5% Cooked milk and burnt sugar notes are more pronounced. Seems to be muting itself leaving a weak caramel note mixed with too much air. Getting a waxy chocolate off note that’s not very good, like the cheap children’s chocolates that have been sitting in a mom and pop’s store since when their first grandchild was born.
🔹 Comments 🔹
Contains Acetoin and Acetyl Propionyl (Custard ingredients)
1% Throat hit 3/10. Itchy on the throat. Astringent, slightly acidic and bitter. Percentage is too low to be of any use other than to ruin a mix with a dark caramel for support.
1.75% Throat hit 4/10. Same as above except this is probably the percentage to start with in a mix. Still getting a fairly metallic-like Lactic Acid
2.5% I wouldn’t use this in a mix past this percentage.
