Real Flavors Testing: Grape, Sugar Cookie, and Apple

by

I picked these flavors up during one of Real Flavor’s recent free concentrate promotions, where all I had to pay was shipping. So I got three 1oz bottles for $4, which is a great deal.

These are all from their Super Concentrates line and all of them are suggested to be mixed at 1-2.5%. I’ve mixed 5ml test batches at the max recommendation of 2.5%, at a 70vg/30pg ratio, and with 6mg nicotine.

Let’s talk about each flavor concentrate.

I’ve seen some reviewers reviewing the entire line so it looks like they’ve been sending out e-juice too.

Normal price for this e-juice is $20 for a 120ml, which is super-cheap, which made people wonder if this e-juice is actually any good but check out the reviews online and you’ll find that just about all of them are positive. Every review I’ve seen has been positive anyway.

I got my $1 bottle of Dough Boy with 6mg nicotine, so let’s talk about it.
