    Yes, I see...the challenge that you face....wowzer! I think that TFA does list all their ingredients. Under their FAQ section, they have a link: Perfumer's Apprentice Click on the "LIST" button, and you will be directed to an ingredients list. This can be quite useful once you identify some...

    Yes, indeed, and so very helpful to the new mixologist vaper that you so generously share these experiences. As mentioned, this passing along of our individual successes and failures, our recipes, and likes and dislikes, is what helps this community, and is what is so very helpful to the new...

    :D:D:D Hello Robert! What is it you like about other flavorings and/or dislike about TFA flavorings? I'm curious! While I use about three vendor flavorings, and indeed, TFA is missing whole swaths of key flavorings, imho, I do so very much like their multiple ingredient approach to our...

    You are quite welcome! Thank you for the post. Your kind words make the effort to help others all worth it! Many thanks! Your point about the difficulty of making an unvapeable juice is a very worthwhile point that needs to be understood by the new mixer. For six months in DIY, I couldn't make...

    Not all Not all recipes are created equal. The reason that I say my Dutch Apple Pie is my signature juice, is because of the almost 100 juices I have made and sold commercially, this one was easily the most popular and the most addictive! When I no longer wanted to make juice commercially, I...

    I don't vape tobacco's and was wondering what you thought of the Brandon's Choice? It's the only tobacco I've made (complex), and don't know anyone that's really tried it, so that's good to hear (ADV). How does it compare to other tobacco's? VapeStrong! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Since we are on the subject of Apple recipes (I just started the conversation), and I wanted to share my signature juice with the new mixers: Dutch Apple Pie ala Mode, my Signature juice: Apple - 12% French Vanilla - 4% Sweetener - 4% Pie Crust - 4% Graham Cracker - 3% Brown Sugar - 2% Butter...

    Thought I'd throw out my Monkey Business Recipe since we were just discussing Banana Cream: Monkey Business Bananas Foster - 12% Cinnamon Danish - 6% Rum (Flavoring) - 5% Vanilla Swirl - 4% Brown Sugar - 3% This is an ADV for many that have tried it, and while not a Banana Cream, more a...

    Friend just came by to pick up some juice. He is amazed that I make my own juice. Whipped up Almond Joy and Peanut Butter Cup (he likes his choco vapes) in 30's, and he was in Heaven. Doesn't happen too much, but I do enjoy laying out my top 50 juices, which I keep in the cupboard, but in 6...

    Yes, they are both on Dropbox. Custards are easily made: Cotton Candy 4 - 7% Vanilla Custard 4 - 6% Bavarian Cream 4 - 6% You can add fruits, chocolates among other flavorings to these to get a very nice thick custard flavoring! Good Luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Yes, indeed and thank you. I have found that the orange creams and other fruit creams make outstanding additions to base mixes, and prefer to use them to augment recipes, rather than use them as the base recipe themselves, preferring to, more or less, start from scratch, on all ingredients, as...

    The Banana recipes I've seen and worked on generally used both TFA banana's together with a preference of the banana to the ripe of about 3-4:1, or more. So, 60 - 90% banana with 10 - 40% ripe banana. Finding the right mix is possible by using both, and there have been some pretty good recipes...

    Because Rayon flattens over time, versus swelling, I can't use it on the Taifun, or I develop leaking after a while. Wicking, though, seemed comparable. Because of my atty, I need to stick with the organic cotton. :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Temco on Ebay is a very good value on wire. I get Koh Gen Doh from their website. Box has lasted me more than a year, and I'm half way through.

    Unfortunately, there sometimes comes a time in life when the grip strength is all but gone, and the fingers are no longer straight, and all I want is a great coil, but I can't make one by hand. The BMV Coiler 2.0 was the answer to my problem, and it makes great coils, that I cannot duplicate by...

    Certainly I use tension in making my coils, but I prefer the speed of the jigs I use over hand coiling. Consistent, FAST, coils in a jiffy. Works for me. The mechanical advantage of the jig adds more tension than I could add by hand, myself. I do have some friends on the Tension Micro coil site...
