MIXING NOW !!!

Testing out the 5 new Flavor Jungle Ultimates, and 5 One Shots. All tested at the listed percentages, suggested by the MFG. All partial or split percentages were middled from the MFG suggested testing range. All tested on SteamCrave RDTA v.1 with dual 24 ga. Kanthal vertical coils, and either fresh, or freshly burned coils, and Koh Gen Do cotton. Steeped at least 1.5 weeks, and tested at 65 watts.

Ultimate Bavarian Cream (Jungle Flavors) 4.5% (11-21-24) – Let’s get this party started with the new Ultimates !!! This one smelled similar to other BC’s in the bottle, but testing it revealed some differences. Missing were some of the typical dark(er) notes that I get from my other BC’s, which at times seems/ed to border on an almost scorched caramel. This one was fairly free of those darker undertones, and had a very nice, clean, almost Vanilla Bean profile. It was squarely in the BC camp, but just different, with the two aforementioned aspects being the most noticeable. At JF’s recommended strength it was fairly strong, and I’d put it at about a 6.5/10 strength wise. Higher levels might at to more saturation. Very clean, accurate, with no off-notes to complain about. Sweetness was a few ticks below mid-level, and I had no real complaints. I think what you prefer in a BC will dictate if this is for you or not. Overall, it was a somewhat “cleaner” Bavarian Cream, but none of the dark(er) scorched notes found in some others. Because it was a little relaxed at this weight, I don’t know if it could be a primary BC in mixes or not, but would surely work in about every other way. Clean, accurate, and with a nice Vanilla Bean nuance was what this brought to the table. As far as the scoring, I’m basing that on MY preferences, which would include some of the darker, slightly scorched notes, and a little more intensity. I finalized it at a 7.5/10.
