Hi All,

The first e-cig kit I ordered came with a 30ml free bottle of e-liquid, just by chance I picked one called American Standard. It had this great maple flavor. I got a second bottle from the same vendor and it was great too, the next one I ordered tasted way different, really weird perfume smell. I ordered a maple flavor from another vendor, same thing. I let them steep over two weeks and they still were bad. I've been trying to find some flavoring that will have a great maple syrup flavor and was hoping you all could help me out. I got a bottle of maple flavor made by TFA, mixed up a small 10ml batch and have it steeping now, it doesn't really smell like maple at the moment, more like alcohol but I'm hoping that will go away after shaking the bottle every day and letting it steep. Anyone out there have any luck making a maple flavor? There has to be some Canadians out there that can help me out ;) Take care all and thanks.

If you find any, let me know. For the last six months, I have been down the same road. Three different vendors, and not a single one of what I would call maple. Now, I know it exists somewhere as I sampled some at a con. I have a bottle of TFA maple and sweetener I just got today, and letting it steep now.

Will let you know how it turns out! I wish to find that ultimate maple again.

Thanks Gorvi for the reply, I will also let you know how mine tunes out. I used the same maple in my batch and a little sweetener also.

What percentage did you mix it...and with what percentage PG to VG ?

Thanks for the info, I'm worried I might get a case of waffle brain worst than I already have using real syrup. I don't like the flavor of TFA's maple, it's just as you described.The search continues!

Not a fan of TFA maple syrup - have tried it between 5-25%, it is either too weak to taste or very chemically. Vapor Room has a french toast juice with a very thick and sweet maple syrup element that I would LOVE to replicate. I am intrigued to know what happens when you put actual syrup in the juice :laugh:

Does it taste like Maple too? Maybe this is something I can try to do, try to get as close to maple with other flavors. I'm going to search around for other companies that sell maple/maple syrup flavor and give them a try.

i vape Caramel Cappuccino from The Flavor Apprentice and everybody says i smell maple syrup.

Hi all, just an update on the flavor I received. It's from Vermont vapor and is called sugarhouse. Now you have to remember here that taste is subjective. I get nothing, it's not bad or perfume like at all which is a good thing. But I don't get a lot of maple. I even double the flavor and it's still not coming through for me. I was testing it with a decent 510 atty. I was told no steeping should be needed and I shuold taste the maple right away, ever more so with a double shot of it. I have to say, one of the owners did call me when I ordered this and we talked a bit, and she did suggest I get the maple flavoring they sell but I didn't take her up on the offer at the time opting for the sugarhouse, as the description was "like maple syrup from the sugarhouse" and that's what I'm looking for. Now I have to say that my taste buds have burnt out on some flavors so your mileage may vary. I've placed an order for the maple flavor and will give an update once I give it a shot. I can always add my own sweetness with some ethyl maltol and use a high VG to add some too. Take care all.

Ok, The stuff from Vermont vapor is fine, it's not like the nasty TFA maple, no bad chemical smell, I also got 4 oz flavor from http://www.diyflavorshack.com/default.asp for 20 bucks and it's also not nasty like TFA. Right now I have a really bad case of vaper tongue so the flavors are not really coming through for me, so your mileage may vary! Good luck all.
