    I tried a Cranapple recipe with TFA Apple and Cranberry. It's going to be different according to your taste profile, but I started at 10% apple and 3% cranberry. I was never thrilled with it. Based on a whole bunch of good info in the last few days in this thread I'm going to say my CranApple...

    Okay. That helps me. Thanks, Bill. I bought 100mg 50/50 from MFS during their sale. Tremendous deal = $50.00 for a quart (1000 ml). It will take me a while to use it so in 6 months I may freeze whatever is left in smaller bottles. Perfumer's Apprentice/Flavor Apprentice routinely ships for me...

    Bill, would you share how you store the nic solution? I'm buying mine from MFS, too. I've just been keeping it cool and dark, but my latest purchase will last a long time. Does this stuff spoil? Thank you! Tim

    The tobacco flavoring kit and book aren't listed on the Perfumer's Apprentice website. I wanted to check it out. There's plenty there about making perfume, but I could find nothing about tobacco. Fascinating that what we perceive as tobacco flavor is really a combination of fruit flavoring...

    Hey Bill! Thank you. This is a great idea. Now, for the additional flavors... The only two I know of are caramel and brown sugar. Those are definitely added to real analogs. The nut idea intrigues me. Let's see, we have pecan, pralines and cream, and I don't know what else. Have you any...

    Another confirmation of what I suspected all along. And Bill, it's worth way more than two cents. I can't tell you all how much I would have saved if I'd gone with my gut (and now confirmed) and acted accordingly. Has ANYONE had any experience with TFA Turkish? I finally found it in a...

    CINNAMON DANISH!!!!! I have to remember that. The cinnamon flavor is so strong I've not been successful with it. Good one, Bill!

    I have citric acid in powder/crystal form. Mixing solids and liquids baffles me. I'm making it harder than it should be. How do I add citric acid powder to 1 pint of PG to end up with .1% citric acid concentration? Dope slaps welcome... Tim

    Taste is so subjective... I have a thought, but it might be totally wrong for you. I, too, love the Starbucks PSL. First, TFA has a pumpkin flavor. I have it because I thought I could use it to duplicate Starbucks PSL. Wrong. The pumpkin flavor from TFA is very authentic which means to me it...

    Please help if you can... Is there anyone watching this thread who uses TFA RY4 Double at more than 15% strength? I'm up to 15% and still can't taste it. I went up in 1% increments starting at 5%. Thank you!

    Thank you, sir! This is good info. I will confess I'm pretty stuck on TFA, though. I fear you're correct in that TFA flavors may have a floral/spicy taste. I've looked at the ingredients for real analogs. Brown sugar and caramel are two that I easily recognize. So, if I find a TFA tobacco...

    Oh man... Thank you! I thought I was crazy. I understand it's YOUR experience. I believe people when they say their mix changes over "months." Mine do, too. They get stale and lose flavor or one molecule quits so suddenly you're tasting others. 48 hours... Can you imagine? The dollars I've...

    Hi Bill! I'm very curious about how you get to 1/10th of 1% citric acid. I have crystals. Do you add it in crystal form by measuring the weight? Also: You mention the flavors "bonding" in the PG stash thus enabling you to mix already "steeped" juices for friends, family, and others...

    Hey, Bill... Thanks a bunch for your comments. I would be very interested in any comments/advice/recipes you might have that use RY4 double or M Type Premium. I'm making an RY4 recipe now that's okay, but after I vape it awhile I can't taste it at all. As for the M Type, I'm entering the...

    Caramel Flavor=no! no! no! Baby spit up is the smell... Can't compare the taste to anything. Caramel Original=yes! yes! Yes!! Tastes like caramel to me.
