A tendency to flavor Salvia Extract has increased among manufacturers. While some are attempting to use regular food flavorings - a crude attempt with little chance for success - others are adopting more sophisticated approaches, with scents uniquely tailored to survive combustion (burning of the extract). The customers demand more product choices and features, as the industry grows, that's why, flavored Salvia are here to stay. Nevertheless, as the original flavored Salvia Divinorum manufacturers, who first brought the concept of flavored extracts to market, we think we need to discuss the facts and myths of flavored Salvia Divinorum.
Myth: Salvia divinorum can be flavored with regular grocery flavoring.
Fact: Be our guest, and prepare to fail. This kind of flavoring is made for cooking - in cookies, pies and other food of this kind. It's usually made with alcohol and water, which may end up stripping your finely prepared, expensive extract of salvinorins and and leave you with just organic trash. You'll not be able to make this flavoring work, other than to this point. The second you heat the flavoring, it will evaporate (after you burn the extrct), so you'll end up tasting or smelling nothing, or worse. In addition, while some of the grocery store flavorings are perfectly safe to use with food - they are edible - upon combustion (burning) they may go under a chemical change that renders them dangerous to your health.
Myth: Flavored Salvia Divinorum tastes almost like real.
Fact: Unfortunately not. Our scents provide a unique combination of smell and taste that resembles certain kinds of flavors - in our case, apple, strawberry and spearmint - but you won't get a strong flavor sensation in your mouth. The flavor will mask the harshness you'll get at your throat with regular Salvia Extract. In general, it will smooth the smoke, with a little bit of fruit flavor. Right now we're into our flavoring of second generation. Maybe with future generations it's gonna be possible to offer you a true "just like fruit" taste.
