Andria, I'm guessing the DX flavorings aren't on there because they're relatively new. You've been working with them - you have recommendations? I really haven't worked with the DX goodies (although my recent haul included a few) I would think they'd be pretty close (maybe 1% higher) than the non-DX?
I have the cinnamon spice as well,but like you haven't tried it yet.From what i've read about it,it is supposed to be more of bakery spice type flavor where as the other cinnamon they have is more of a mild red hot type cinnamon.I recently got some of TFA's Cinnamon Spice, to see if it was more bakery or aldehyde cinnamon; anyone know? I've started finding the aldehyde cinnamon unpleasantly metallic tasting, no matter how small a fraction of a percent I use, so I'm hoping the Cinnamon Spice really is spice, and not cinnemaldehyde. If that's the right flavor, it might improve the DX Cinnamon Danish considerably.

Let your finished mix breathe for a while with the cap off,and the alchohol will start to evaporate out.Would steeping cause the alcohol taste to go away? Or do I use a much smaller amount of flavorings with ethyl alcohol?
I usually let it sit and breathe for a day or so after the UC and it goes awayWould steeping cause the alcohol taste to go away? Or do I use a much smaller amount of flavorings with ethyl alcohol?
Awesome, thanks.... I guess no one has used the tart granny Smith Apple flavor yet? No % by it. Im having a hard time with it because it has ethyl alcohol in it and it seems to be all I taste even at 2%
Anyone used this particular flavor?
I haven't tried too many, actually, and I've never tried the non-DX version of any of them, so I can't compare them. I do know that the DX Bavarian, used in the background cream/vanilla/sweetener mix, is very good, up to maybe 6.5%; after that, it's not terribly good, and I wouldn't think it would be too good as a stand-alone. I don't know how that would compare to using the regular Bavarian.
I find that a mix of the DX Bavarian with Vanilla Swirl, makes quite a "custardy" flavor, for those who really love that flavor but, like me, would rather avoid diketones. Might need a bit of sweetener too, of course, being TFA flavors -- it's good that one can customize a flavor so precisely with TFA flavors, being single-flavor notes, rather than a flavor+sweetener -- people do seem to vary quite widely on how sweet they like things.
I haven't yet gotten a good "read" on the DX Banana Cream; I was trying out that recipe with mixing some of that into the Cream Fantastico, and the results were... hmm. Uncertain? At first mix, not great, but not terrible either. It does seem "banana-ish" and didn't seem to have any kind of unpleasant whang, as some diketone-free flavors sometimes do.
The DX Cinnamon Danish seems to have a lot of acetyl pyrazine in it; that seemed the primary taste to me, even overwhelming the "cinnamon-ish" taste. I recently got some of TFA's Cinnamon Spice, to see if it was more bakery or aldehyde cinnamon; anyone know? I've started finding the aldehyde cinnamon unpleasantly metallic tasting, no matter how small a fraction of a percent I use, so I'm hoping the Cinnamon Spice really is spice, and not cinnemaldehyde. If that's the right flavor, it might improve the DX Cinnamon Danish considerably.
So far those are the only "DX" ones I've tried. I think there's a caramel DX flavor, but as I've noted before, not a huge fan of caramel, to me it just tastes like burnt sugar, so I'm really not any kind of judge of anything caramel-ish.

Regarding the cinnamon question, I prefer the spice over several other TFA cinnamon's. It makes for a nice background cinnamon in a blended HFM recipe, and doesn't kick one in the teeth as the tank cracking cinnamon does. Also, the stronger the cinnamon, the longer the blend time, i.e., breath, blend, aeration, bubble dissipation time. Always add the cinnamon last to the VG blend, to avoid the tank cracker effects of several of the cinnamon's.
The missus went back to the tank cracking cinnamon on her Peach Cobbler from the background cinnamon blends (cinnamon Danish, cinnamon spice, and cinnamon sugar cookie). The background secondary flavoring abilities of these flavorings is outstanding and allow that subtle and unmistakable background cinnamon that is so great in flavorings and ejuice. Apple Jacks is a good example of the background use of the cinnamon sugar cookie and dulce de leche combination that produces a truly magical blend. The flavorings are not necessarily great on their own and they all do require blendings with other primaries and secondaries to work "it" out. Once blended, the magic starts and truly works! Good luck to you!
