Smoky Blue's Flavorah Zone

Quick question oh Queen of all things FLV. I thought the Alpine Strawberry was supposed to be a lot more expensive than most of the other FLV concentrates.

Does this mean that the one in the below link may be adulterated or are they just selling it at a reasonable price?

@ianc13 A little coffee and some simple math in the morning :partying_face: :coffee:

First… the AUD is $1.00 to $0.77 USD… for today, yes…

Ok retail Alpine strawberry [15ml official bottle] from flv is 17.49 direct from the manufacture, check!

Seeing the link in question… is that a rebottle, or is that a 10ml out of a flavor pack?

The berry flavor pack is $70.00USD retail on the FLV website…

Your vendor in question is not offering the flavor packs… perhaps some slight encouragement on that end?? hmm…

So still remains… where is the 10ml $6.98 coming from?

Bull City Flavors sells their flavor packs at $50.00USD… Let’s take a look and see what and how many of the flv flavors are in the Berry Pack:

Alpine Strawberry
Berry Blend
Black Currant
Blackberry Blossom
Blueberry
Boysenberry
Cranberry
Ice
Jammy Berry
Raspberry
Red Raspberry
Strawberry
Strawberry Cream
Strawberry Filling
Strawberry Smash
Sweetness

I count 16… anyone else? :smiley:

ok so… $50.00 divided by 16 = 3.125 … yes??

Your vendor is charging $6.98 on my end… creating a profit of $3.12 from selling (only as a given if this is what the vendor is doing, it’s actually an unknown) making double the money rather than buying a $50.00 flavor pack, creating if sold all items in the flavor pack, a profit of double the money.

However… if the said vendor had purchased a liter… and then rebottled in to 10ml… then the profit is even greater…

As I have never purchased and I am unsure if I do know the vendor or not, I know nothing about what the vendor is doing with the flavoring, at all. It could be a great thing, being that a 15ml is more expensive… but then again… unknowns… I would drop an email and ask is it rebottled or is it an official 10ml bottle and then decide what you wish to do :slight_smile:

I also notice they are not carrying a lot of the flv flavors… perhaps if you wished to try more, ask the vendor if they can get more… :slight_smile: I can easily do retail and wholesale, but I do not ship outside the states and with the mail ban in effect for DHL and UPS, and other issues atm… not much help I can really give, other than to email them and see what is up. I personally think it is a fair price for a 10ml bottle of Alpine… and it is my fav strawbery flavor. maybe I am just stuck on Alpine lol… :stuck_out_tongue:

Ahhh, yes. I don’t think it is an unreasonable price at all and I can see how the math works when you display it so eloquently.

It is just interesting to me that if is not proportionately more than their other FLV concentrates. Was sort of wondering if the others are subsiding the Alpine or something else is going on.

The retailer is a respectable one and I have not heard anything negative about them. I might just drop them a message as you say and see what they say. Thank you for the great response, that’s why you are the Queen I reckon. :grin:

Grins!! :smiley:

9 out of 10… it’s coming out of the flv flavor packs… proably the only bottle size on the site… I did not snoop long enough to check out the other flavors… even tho there were only 2 pages and I bet, mostly fruits :smiley:

More than welcome and I hope you might like the Alpine as much as I love it… I do have to say, it is a special flavor and not everyone does. :smiley: lolol … Good luck!

Alright, thanks be to @SthrnMixer I am going to start my flavorah journey. He landed a bottle in my mailbox with a juice he created, and I’m sold. I have a few of their flavors already, but I’m going to see how I do recreating my favorites.

Totally different recipe but try this one…

cotton candy .6%
milk and honey .6%

let it sit for 3-5 days :smiley:

Any sub for the Honey Do ??

I only have flv’s version… I am no help… honeydew once steeped is a light melon…
The real star is the juicy red apple… hope that helps!

What I meant by Sub was “any other fruit flavor” ?
I almost just ordered the HoneyDo, until I heard about the RIND part,
Nope-Nope, can’t stand rind. The Wild Melon taste like all rind to me and most I can handle is maybe .2 % in a mix, when it’s gone I probably won’t get that one again. Maybe the melons (other than Watermelon) just ain’t my thing :thinking: I sent my Cantaloupe to @SteveTC

Ahh… I see now… :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah if you can not handle melon, try a banana… lower than .8 maybe .6%
Me, I love the melons… and the melon rind is just mmm… mix it with lime… and bob’s my uncle!! :tada:

I am so sorry you and melons don’t get along… maybe it will change for you down the road…

Seems to me I m back on my sweet bright flavors lately, and I think it’s due to the spingtime. Who knows… but I am going to rock this ride for as long as I can :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :rofl:

I think the banana and red apple with milk and honey should put you close to the “zone”…

Boom :tada: awesome Smoky, thats what I need with my Rind… some Lime :+1:
Definitely give that a try :ok_hand:
I’ve been on the sweet tooth kick too lately, think I’ll go work some more on my Ham Glaze recipe :yum:

@anon72991949 did you post Ham Glaze??? mmmmm I will def mix that up…

and @Timwis from the other thread tonight/today… if you want… more than welcome to check out my Rate of use pdf on flavorah too… you can find it here:

https://flvfan.com/flavorah-rate-of-usage/

My testing ranges from sub ohm… from .02oms to 1.2ohms, different gear, and tanks… I never really have to dump a ton (use a lot) for MTL juices… I guess because I used a lot of sub ohm devices before I hit the mtl tanks and drippers… even in my SXNano… I don’t increase for flavor…
