I often learn more from my failures. It seems that only by doing the "wrong" thing do I get a better understanding of what the "right" thing may be. Make a positive out of a negative (and don't forget to write down your findings... for future reference
); and almost any outcome can become useful (though not always vapeable
).
If you think of the classic "five tastes" the tongue is credited for (bitter, sweet, sour, salty, savory/umami);
none are commonly associated with smell/aroma. Both bitter, and sweet, seem to translate easily in vaping. Salty and sour seem to be more elusive.
I am not saying your hypothesis is incorrect; as my public school science classes are decades ago. And, though I have tried to educate myself, I only seem to add to my own confusion.
As
my addled brain sees it; we (as vapers) are taking flavor-inducing components (liquids, and solid particles suspended in liquid), and endeavoring to transport them (via vapor and aerosol), in to our airways, where our mouth and nose can perceive (taste and smell) them. It is the success/failure of the transportation, that makes some flavor components harder to achieve, than others.
This article describes (kinda-sorta) what I am trying to convey.
(I freely admit that I may be 100% wrong; and invite correction. Supporting science, and documentation appreciated.
)
Certainly worth a try.
Just understand that it
may impart other flavor characteristics too. Low percentage single flavor testing might be quite informative.
I use TFA-Greek Yogurt in a peach yogurt recipe (pretty authentic too!
); and it does have that familiar yogurt "tang." It is not what I would describe a "sour"(like a lemon); but more of the "tang" of buttermilk or sour cream. However; I have
only used it at 8%, and the results may well be different when used at lower percentages.
I am interested to see what you discover.
I almost never have questions after discussing the topic with you. Also, you’re not dismissive of other ideas and you’re honest without being critical. I’ve been a bit taken back by how abrasive some have been in telling you how to DIY rather than sugestioning and offering help. But I refuse to focus on that.
