    3 line informal labels with a P-Touch. The color labels I make with a color laser printer. I print on full 8-1/2 x 11 label sheets and hand cut the labels out. Can be used multiple times, or I can put about 20 labels or more on a sheet. The nice looking ones are a fairly serious artsy/craftsy...

    For informal labels, I use a Brother P-Touch printer. Three lines: Cinnamon Danish 23% (flavoring) 6 mg/ml 70/30 (VG/PG ratio) 120 ml 1/15/15 (volume/qty and date made)] Works great. I also make formal labels like this: Whatever works is the best...

    Oops! Made a mixing error with my cinnamon Danish. Was going to make 300 mls of my ADV and forgot I had already added PG to my base flavoring mix, way back when. After adding another 7% by accident, I had to correct it and now have a 600 ml batch. I should be okay now for a couple of months. I...

    I strongly prefer the Graham Cracker clear. Easier to use and vape. :2c: :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Regarding strawberries, I prefer the sweeter to the ripe, though I will sometimes combine them with about 2/3 - 3/4 sweet with 1/4 - 1/3 ripe. Regarding flavorings generally, the beautiful thing about TFA flavorings is that they work in combinations, and rarely as standalones. Many blah flavors...

    I would experiment with creams, vanillas and cotton candy. At low enough percentages, they will not overwhelm the mix and will enhance the primaries. We are all different, so 2% sweet cream may overwhelm for you, so try a lower amount. Try vanilla. Try cotton candy. There is a combination that...

    Citric acid at 10% solution at 1% of mix, or less ATM is all you need on a HFM. Don't need it at all after steeping. If you make juice commercially, you have to add Citric acid or similar to prevent contamination after a long shelf life in potentially bad conditions. I know many juice makers...

    Works great with pastry vapes and similar desert type flavorings. I use it both with CCI and without, and don't have a preference. The CCI is good at low levels, say 1% -2%. I have blogs about recipes that I use this with if you need to see some different uses. Also, CCI is good with cakes...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    Sounds like too much wick to me. I prefer the KGD because it expands with wicking, important for the Taifun, but wicks slightly better than the rayon, which tends to compress somewhat, requiring more to create the seal, at the expense of the wicking. :2c: :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Regarding coils, I use an 8/7 wrap of 29 gauge kanthal on 1/16" mandrel for a 1.4 ohm coil. KGD wicking. Favorite atomizer is a Taifun GT. 11 watts. I make all my recipes to work best with this setup. You may have to change your juices to reflect your hardware and temperature too! :toast: :D...

    Most of the juices I make I use at about 1.2 - 1.6 ohms, a great range, particularly for subtler flavors, like the grape, lemon, watermelon, etc. If you are going to use that much heat in your vape, you are truly going to have problems with a few TFA flavorings, as they are there, but not super...

    Hi Stacy! Taste is subjective, so grape might be a blind spot for you. I can taste the grape just fine at the recipe's percentage, but that doesn't mean it's enough flavoring for you. Did you use TFA grape juice? If so, and you still can't taste the grape, just increase the percentage until you...

    I don't store mine in glass, but, then again, some plastics will leach into their contents over time. I haven't noticed anything like that with my TFA flavorings, and I've had some a couple of years or more in plastic. I don't recommend using plastic containers for our juices at all. Those seem...

    YES!!! Vanilla Swirl, sweet cream, Bavarian cream, sweetener and cotton candy MUST be in our flavor arsenals. There are others, but these alone will prove incredibly useful. Don't forget vanilla bean ice cream too! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Just want to make a slight adjustment here for clarification to all. I advocate that when using creams, vanillas, and sweeteners as supporting flavors in the mix, that they be kept at 6% or less in order that they don't dominate the mix. However, if you were making a vanilla cream flavoring, I...
