Who does concentrates with the least sweetener added?..

[Dearth Vapir]

I like (love) my fruits and custards, but struggling at the moment with overly-sweet results, especially since I use maximum VG and tend to use quite high flavour concentrations, and now am down to almost zero nic as well.

Love my Cap V1 custard, even though it can be a *little* sweet perhaps, but where I'm struggling is finding fruit flavours that are convincingly fruity but don't totally crack my flamin' teeth with their sweetness - I diluted the heck out of one 100ml batch that was too sweet, then added lots of my own DIY strong coffee extract, some tobacco absolute and mild (dry) tobacco flavouring to try and rescue it - it cut the sweetness by a ton and added some dryness back (esp. from all the coffee) and does taste delicious, but it's still too sweet and a serious coil-gunker that I now have near 200ml to get through, lawd save me coils! And me teeth too lol!

So, un-sweetened/low sweetness fruit flavours - who does 'em best folks?

Also after a good not-sweet cola flavour as I find a few drops makes some fruits really *pop*, as they say?

Cheers-me-dears, one and all! ',;~}~

Wow that's a first. Usually people complain there vapes are not sweet enough. Look into the inawera or hangsen line of flavorings. There more natural tasting and not as sweet. Being that you are over the pond from me I don't know where to tell you to get them in your neck of the woods.

Cheers Danny - Not tried any Hangsen yet, but I have some Inawera - Vanilla, Mango and Happy Rancher Apple - I think the apple may be one of my current culprits since it is a 'candy' flavour, but the concentrate itself doesn't taste sweet, so I'm not sure - not all of the ones that seem to taste sweet once blended and vaped, actually seem to taste sweet as concentrates, whereas others obviously do, so it's hard for me to figure it out without going to the lengths of mixing lots of separate little batches and sampling (and with the sweeteners they seem to persist in my drippers for quite a while too), and since I tend towards complex blends with several flavours in each... well I was hoping to avoid the extra time and trouble as I'm past the point where I want to keep spending time 'experimenting' to such a degree - I've other things I want to spend my time on at the moment.

I'll have to give some Hangsen flavours a try next time I order I'm sure I'll find some here easily enough - this past year or two there's a lot more on-line stores selling a much wider variety - took me about 5 mins to find Inawera stuff at low prices afer someone here recommended their vanilla.

Thanks again Danny,

Shaun.
