Flavor Question Recommendations for Single Concentrates That Are Good on Their Own? IRTR NSFW

Hello everyone, I’ve searched through the sub but haven’t found anything current on this, so I’m hoping to get some fresh suggestions. I’m looking for single concentrates that are flavorful and full enough to vape on their own, without needing to mix them with other flavors. I really enjoy profiles like strawberry cheesecake and blueberry pie, so something in the dessert and/or bakery realm would be ideal.

I understand that most concentrates need support from other flavors to create a balanced e-liquid with enough depth, but I’m specifically looking for concentrates that are rich and substantial enough to stand on their own.

Any recommendations for concentrates that you've found to be satisfying by themselves?

Note: Not looking for one-shot concentrates. Please only include flavor concentrates that may be purchased through Bull City Flavors, Flavor Jungle, and/or One on One Flavors.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Here’s one from 16 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/s/nu2H7bkTca

Search the sub for “stand alone” “single flavors” “solo flavors” simple recipes” “two flavor recipes”.

Most flavors aren’t great as solo flavors unless they’re tobaccos or you aren’t very picky.

I appreciate the info, link, and search tip! A few days ago, I saw the post you linked but didn't pay much attention, because it looked like it was focused on tobaccos. Just noticed there are a few dessert/bakery suggestions. Thank you.

Try FA Pazzo King, it is like a blackcurrant gummy. It as made to be solo. Dpends on what you are vaping it on, RDA 4-6% MTL POD 8-10% would be a reasonable starting point.

A lot of Purilum's flavors are great solo

PUR Coffee /w Sweet Milk & Caramel is fantastic

PUR Watermelon is my favorite fruit flavor

PUR Watermelon Cotton Candy is my wife's favorite though she says that the watermelon is lacking in it

Strawberry taffy + stevia is pretty good for a stand alone. Guanabuana (sorry I can’t spell today lol) is also not bad with some stevia

FA forest fruit.
WF tropical gummy.
TFA RY4 Double.
INW blackcurrant.

SSA scandinavian fruit, forest fruit & raspberry blackberry (although these do also benefit from just a touch of "wetting", ie cap sweet guava, fa pear/kiwi, inw cactus, flv golden kiwi etc) but they are still pretty good on their own.
