Recommended 12hr breathe and 3 week steep.
Concentration testing at .25% and .5%, this tastes a lot like a sweeter version of the distilled version of FA Lime Tahity. Bright, a bit acidic, with some (pretty subtle) carbonated mouthfeel. Sweet, but not too thick. 1% has a sweeter body overall, with less of a carbonated mouthfeel and a bit of juicyness. Thicker, but still on the light side. 1.5% is sweeter, with that acid balanced pretty well by that sweetness. Decent body here. 2% is heavier, with just a touch of waxiness. Sweetness is pretty heavy, right on the verge of syrupy. Still pretty bright, but a bit fuller. 3% is a bit too much for me personally. I'm finding it syrupy, waxy, harsh, and bitter. I'd recommend using this at around .5% for a lime accent for fruitier mixes, and 1.5%-2% for a primary flavor.
After 24 days of steeping.
I'm not sure what's gone wrong with this mixture, but it is vile. At first I thought something had gone wrong because I didn't clean out my coils before trying this flavor, but this was not the case. Smell wise it seems fine and diluted it is very reminiscent of a twister ice cream, however the concentration of something has made this unsmokable. The lime and bitterness is heavy on your tongue followed by a thick and unpleasant cream. Nothing has made me gag as much as this combination of cream and floral flavors.
