🐐 Aroma (Raw Sniff)
Thick, sweet banana cream wafts up — it’s banana milkshake hour at the vape diner. There’s a soft vanilla hum underneath that makes it feel more like dessert than fruit.
Flavor Profile (In Vape)
-
Inhale: Sweet, smooth banana rides in with a creamy coat — not too bold, not too shy.
-
Exhale: The cream kicks in fully here — thick, almost custardy, with a light vanilla echo. Banana is mellow but unmistakable.
-
Aftertaste: Lingers like the last sip of a banana split. Silky and sweet, with a touch of richness.
-
Sweetness: Medium-high, leaning toward dessert territory.
-
Off-notes: Slightly artificial if pushed too hard, but nothing offensive in sane doses.
-
Mouthfeel: Creamy, velvety, and thick — coats the tongue like a good milkshake should.
Label Accuracy:
Pretty spot on. This isn’t raw banana or bakery — this is banana dressed up in a creamy tuxedo. Think milkshake, soft serve, or banana pudding with training wheels. You won't find any monkey funk here.
Accuracy Rating: 9/10
Standalone Usability:
Solid solo flavor if you’ve got a sweet tooth. It vapes like dessert in a bottle, though some might find it a touch thin compared to more premium creams. Still, it scratches the banana-cream itch without needing backup.
Standalone Rating: 8/10
Mixing Versatility:
Works like a charm in cream pies, custards, puddings, and milkshakes. Want more banana? Layer with FLV Banana. Want it denser? Add CAP Vanilla Custard or FLV Cream. Want to go bananas on a dessert profile? This is your base layer.
Versatility Rating: 9/10
🐐 Overall Goat Score:
8.5/10
A smooth operator with dessert in mind. Not the most natural banana, but it knows its job — rich, sweet, and easy to blend. Think less fruit bowl, more sundae bar. For sweet, creamy mixes that need a banana kick, this one's a reliable pick from the trough.
