Cactus Concentrate-INW

Finally started a few test recipes using cactus as my base flavor and let me say that this is on the top of my rotation now. The quality of this concentrate is good even at low percentages. Bullcity had fast delivery and a good selection. I will be a long time customer.

I use this in 2 of my ADVs. Great flavor, kinda sweet, gives you a mouth wateryness that makes you wanna go back for more. Goes well with some brighter flavors and fruits.

I'm new to DIY and ordered Kaktus because I found a recipe that included it. It was in my 1st diy try and I was amazed! I'm already thinking of other ways to include this flavor into other recipes.

Love this flavor as a adder to my watermelon or melon mixes. Usually mix at 1%, but I have made a few flavors with up to 3 where it was dominate flavor. This is something I always keep around.

INW Kaktus adds body to your mixes. Use sparingly, as a little INW goes a long way.

May go well with cola. It’s not the cactus I or you cane to expect

So I heeded the advice on other comments here and have not added more than .5% to my mix to try and add some juiciness to my fruit mix. Now, maybe I haven't given it enough steep time to mellow out (3 days) but it turns all my flavors into aloe juice flavored. Maybe with hints of the original fruit. Not a bad flavor but crazy strong. I'd recommend starting with even less, .25% or just a few drops.

Mixed at a low percentage and it made an ok mix really ok. It pushed the other flavors up and it added that missing note.

Tried 0.5% in a blueberry custard (5 drops in 50 ml) and after a week I get floral notes. It does remind me of a succulent like a cactus or aloe. I'm going to try it with some kiwi and coconut as it would seem a good possibility for enhancing and rounding out tropical flavors. Not recommended for fruity custards.
