    You can make this without vanilla bourbon, and get a slightly different nuanced vanilla. Still good, I'm sure. Good luck!

    Yes, all my recipes are in my DIY calculator. Many of my TFA recipes are posted on this thread and many of those are in my blogs. It will take some time to post them all, and I do intend to, some day, but today's not that day. Even so, there's at least 50 or more posted here. Also, I have...

    Just wanted to add to your excellent post. I've made good lemonade with both LorAnn's and Flavor West. Here's my current favorite: Lemonade FW Lemonade - 14% Cotton Candy - 10% Tart and Sour - 5% (Flavor West, I think) Honey - 1% This is a tank cracker, so I don't often use it, and lost a...

    I must confess that I can't make a decent cheesecake with TFA flavorings, but your recipe reminded me of an Ultimate Vanilla recipe that I made sometime back: Ultimate Vanilla Vanilla Swirl - 4% Vanilla Bourbon - 2% French Vanilla - 4% Bavarian Cream - 3% OR French Vanilla Cream - 3%...

    I've used the CCI with many different juices, primarily with several Danish mixes, and had some good results at very low percentages, say 1% or 2% tops. The CCI adds another dimension, and is so dominant that it "wants" to take over the mix, and, for me, at least, completely changes the...

    Right, TFA refers to this flavoring as just "Strawberry", as opposed to ripe or organic, but it's the sweet inside strawberry flavoring versus the ripe, skin flavoring. Generally speaking, when TFA says ripe, they are referring more to the skin or peel of the fruit, and not the sweet inside of...

    When I want just a touch of flavor, a secondary flavor, or a background flavoring in a juice, I will use the orange cream, the strawberry cream, or the banana cream. I don't generally use any of them as a primary flavoring. As a primary, I will generally use either the sweet version of the...

    I think cheesecake, flavored, or otherwise, may be beyond TFA flavorings alone. I've never seen a great TFA cheesecake, but I remain hopeful. The rich, thick, flavoring that I love, has eluded me thus far with TFA alone. Good luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Lemonade is a tough one. The sour bite that is lemonade is not possible with TFA flavorings alone. However, FW and LorAnn, among others, have the flavoring, often tank eaters, though. Good luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    I like the Juicy Peach that TFA produces, and use it in a Peach Danish and Peach Cobbler recipe, both blogged. Peach is one of my favorite fruit flavorings from TFA, along with lemon and strawberry (sweet) and grape and apple. Jo's ADV is the Peach Cobbler that has gone through three iterations...

    Thank you Porter. I'm so glad you like it. Yes, this one juice launched a line of juices. Though not my favorite, it is the favorite of many. :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    My Dutch Apple Pie does NOT have apple pie in the recipe, and I strongly recommend against using it. The regular apple, combined with the straight pie crust AND graham cracker is MUCH BETTER, than the apple pie flavoring (NIGHT AND DAY)! I love my butter, and it makes a difference in many...

    I love lemon cake, myself. I found this recipe to be quite nice: Lemon Cake Lemon - 10% FW Yellow Cake - 7% Cotton Candy - 5% Bavarian Cream - 4% Sweet Cream - 4% You can increase the Lemon, as it is a nuanced flavoring, kinda light, and be increased with 1) time, 2) citric acid, and 3) lime...

    Also, you have to add creams, vanillas and sweeteners to these flavorings. Same ole', same ole'! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    I'm here every day! Just put my two cents in when I have something to say! Regarding Hittman's question about solo flavorings. With TFA flavorings, you NEED to add the supporting flavors to create a vapeable mix, imho. At low percentages, say 2 - 6%, you will not taste the creams and vanillas...

    I use the P-touch PT-1900. Prints 4 lines, but displays only 2 lines via LCD. Auto tape cutter and 8 type sizes and styles. I use it with 6 re-chargeable batteries. With 1,000 charge cycles, these batteries will be dead long after I am! I use the TZ 1/2" laminated tape, black on white, but there...
