    Perfumers Apprentice Flavors

    The noob who hasn't even read all the 19 pages of this thread (only pages 1-8 and 17-19, but I am working on it, promise!), and has only used one single TPA flavour ever, should probably stay out of this thread, and especially not go all meta. That said, I've never been good at "should":s...

    Cinnamon extraction and cocoa extraction

    [Bumping the thread for AdCurti] As chronicled above, my experiment produced a not-that-fabulous cake (we ate about half of it and the rest will be an experiment), and a few ml of a very very dark liquid. Insanely sweet if you lick a drop. I don't really know if it is good or bad - I'm pretty...

    Coffee flavor?

    If you mean actual cocoa (not a chocolate flavoured coffee), someone posted the link to that thread in your chocolate-thread. It's called something like "Cinnamon and cocoa". I did an extraction of cocoa powder in Aquaeous Glycerine (I was out of pure glycerine). It was a pest to strain - I...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    [I have progressed in my experiments in extraction, see this thread for Extractions Nr 3-7 (pics included, different mediums give really different colours), and here for a really weird conundrum I encountered - all guesses, speculations and thoughts desperately welcomed on that one.] As I am...

    In search of te perfect cocnut recipe..... 4 attepts thus far and getting frustrated!

    Almost didn't even read this thread, as I'm not a dessert-person, but I am glad I did. You mean professionally made juice? I'm not a big coconut fan (the occasional Bounty/Mound bar is a treat though), but I wonder if maybe what you are looking for is something that is impossible, or at...

    Ethyl Maltol - how does this taste to you?

    But where does this idea of EM at low percentages only adding "body" come from??? People who have some taste-receptors I lack? People who lack some receptors I have? It is actually a very interesting flavour to me, because it is "sugar" or "burnt sugar", not really "sweet". Like when you...

    Ethyl Maltol - how does this taste to you?

    In what way was the TA base hideously bad? I'm really liking the faint hint I get behind the EM, so I am thinking of doing another bottle of only TA in PGA/PG like I did this one (smear a little bit of TA on the inside of the bottle, add a smidgen of PGA to dissolve it, add PG, shake, warm, let...

    Ethyl Maltol - how does this taste to you?

    I don't hate it at all - I actually quite like the taste, but my throat definitely doesn't. And it is rather dominating. Maybe it will blend in more if I let it steep for a week or two? I am just so surprised at being able to taste it this strongly at 3 drops of of 10% in 4 ml. From the...

    FlavourArt

    Funny that you should call it pepper - I call it "licorice" or "anise". I'm familiar with it from other tobacco blends, but was very surprised to find that it is in Perique that it is this heavy and prominent. It's an interesting and nice taste (I first encountered it in EnJuice's Robusta - I...

    Ethyl Maltol - how does this taste to you?

    I'm starting to wonder if I screwed up totally on mixing my EM crystals, or if it is just my sense of taste that is really screwed up. A while back I made a solution of ~1ml and a bit crystals (I have a measuring spoon that says 1/4 tsp = 1ml - the next one in the same series(!) says 1 tsp =...

    FlavourArt

    What a timely thread for me - I just yesterday mixed up some tests of Perique Black, Shade and Cuban Supreme. I did one drop in ~4 ml (should be about 1%, it should have been 0.04ml but I was too lazy/cheap to get out some new 1ml syringes) @ 15mg/ml (pure PG). When I tasted them after a few...

    salty taste

    Off topic, I know :) I think our chemistry teacher demonstrated this (on a much smaller scale). And then he made the primary ingredient in our inofficial national candy, from hydrochloric acid and ammonia. And very tasty it was, too! (I'm pretty sure someone has made a juice with that, but I...

    salty taste

    Have you tried it? If so tell us more! (Or are you thinking about the difference in accidentally getting some water up your nose, and the difference between fresh water lake (irritating), Baltic Sea (not irritating), the Mediterranean (not irritating) and the Atlantic (sometimes irritating) -...

    Coffee flavor?

    I am more concerned about the solubility of the granulate in PG (even if it is warmed). I was thinking about how a kick-... mocca mousse recipe I learned in school(!) had us dissolve the gelatin (not powder but those clear sheets that get all slimy when left in cold water for a bit) in half a...

    Coffee flavor?

    I'd do one like that, and then another of pre-mixing it in hot water (would one teaspoon to 15 ml be good there too? Sounds a bit weak, but it is 1:3 (volume) so should be plenty strong) and then mix that in VG.

    HELP! I need some good guesses from a chemist or seasoned home-extractor

    I chronicled my last extraction experiments here. Basically I did a 48h steep of tobacco in five different mediums: VG, Aq.Glyr, H2O, 60% alcohol and 96% alcohol. During this process something very very weird happened: When I re-filtered my precious drops through a syringe with some cotton...

    Placebo effect - or do I have something interesting here?

    I got the last one, the 60% alcohol, done too. I had about 10ml, added 6 ml water and let it stand in a bowl for a few hours. Bottled it when I had around 8 ml left. Here is my collection of bottles from my experiment:

    LOVING essential oils

    Great find/observation! Please continue to post what you find - this is really useful information. (Have you found anything on eucalyptus? What about different pine/spruce/etc? Cedar? (the Polish vendor I mostly buy from has a Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica) oil that looks rather interesting) ) The...

    Looking for an orange

    At first I thought "great idea!", but then I thought: "what about the sugar?":confused: If anyone has used things like Triple Sec, Blue Curacao* or Chartreuse or D.O.M. Benedictine (not oranges, I know, but yumm!) in juices I would be very very interested to know the results - instant atty...

    Sense of Smell vs Sense of Taste

    Hi Newwell - I'm another crypto-supertaster/supernose. I haven't even stopped smoking (yet), but just cutting down on the cigs has really made daily life a bit difficult due to this - but luckily a menthol-loaded PV in my pocket is a sanity-saver when confronted with all the fleeting smells of...
