DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[FranC]

Aww hell...LOL!! I just got a gift package from Fran today and the TPA Caramel Cappu she sent smells good from the bottle So how much would you (anyone) recommend using...I'm brave enough to try it!

Thank you Fran! I can't wait to try the Hazelnut and Oba Oba too

Did you place your order? What did you get?

Still looking...............

The FA capp. is going to the top of my list of things to get. I have a handful of coffee flavors, and the only one I use regularly is the FA espresso. I don't know if this has been mentioned, but what percentage range are you all using the FA capp. at?

@wolcen I feel like 18mg is too stronk for me and 12 sometimes seems too little, so my idea is to start with 18mg 50/50 mix as a base, add the flavour and a little extra no nic VG too put me at around 14mg, dont mind if it's a little more or less. Think that should be my sweet spot, sure hope it

FA Condensed Milk !? You are very brave ! That contains diacetyl. I'm curious, how do you feel when you vape that flavor?

 

[Rlafontaine1971]

I ordered some FA fresh cream but havent recieved it yet, what's it like?

I am brave indeed, Jimi I am fully informed on all of the diketone containing flavors such as diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, etc. and do still choose to use some of them in small amounts. I do not recommend anyone using them without educating themselves and making their own informed decisions I feel fine now, I don't know what the future will bring. I did just have chest xrays done last week (after a trip on the stairs) and altho we were checking for broken ribs, my Dr. said my lungs look remarkably clear for a smoker of 39 years. My Dr. is fascinated by my vaping and gives it his stamp of approval BTW, but I have not discussed the popcorn lung issues with him.

Rl, I like the FA Fresh Cream better than the TPA Sweet Cream, it has a more velvety mouth texture to me, not sweet, and it seems to work better for my taste using it as a "cream" for coffee and desert flavors. The Condensed Milk is spot on and takes very little to add that richness to my desserty vape.

I always wondered about small amounts. I read a post from a person that vaped Hangsen pancake, and had burning lungs from it. I will pass on the diketones, until more studies are performed. I'm glad you are feeling better.

I tried the sweet cream a couple of times but it wasnt really what I was looking for flavor wise. What % of Fresh Cream are you using?

For those of you curious about the FE Oates. I cant really descibe it yet, I have to play around with it a little more. It kind of reminds me of "cream of wheat". It has a little sweetness to it but not too much. I wasn't sure about percentages so I just put 4 drops in 5 ml like i've been doing on the TE flavors. It's not a "stand alone" flavor to me but it seems like it would make a really good base to play around with. It's definately one that I want to experiment with and wouldn't be surprised if it's in a few vendor juices.

Thanks Jimi, I am feeling better. Getting ready for Hurricane Sandy has my ribs hurting a bit but script strength ibuprofen is enough to give me relief. You never realize how much yard furniture you have until you have to put it all away lol.

Rl, hard to say what percentage I use of the fresh cream, I do tend to mix my FA flavors pretty strong. If I'm making a 2 flavor mix that I want to taste creamy, I'll shoot for about 1/3 of the total flavoring to be the fresh cream. Math is something I completely suck at

 

[FranC]

I just ordered the Fresh Cream. Plan to use it in my extracted coffee if I can ever get it right.

 

[Bovinia]

Fran, I added a drop of the hazelnut to my tank (3ml) and then realized it was TE, don't know why I was thinking it was FA!! One drop turned my full tank of cookie into straight up hazelnut...but it's good LOL!

I'll do some more experimenting once we get this storm cleared out

 

[FranC]

LOL Bov. I just made a similar booboo. Do it fairly often.

TPA Caramel Cappucciano:

1st batch at 10% killed several brain cells and caused significant trauma.
2nd batch at 1 drop per 10 ml (10 days later) wasn't very pleasing to me so was going to give up on it.

Tried the FA Cappucciano and love it...

Filled my tank this morning with TPA Cap by mistake. I thought the taste was off but I had just changed wicks on my penelope so I didnt think much of it. I grabbed the bottle of the 2nd batch that I had made of TPA Caramel Cap mixed with bavarian cream by mistake. I actually like it. I don't like near as much as I do the FA capp but I do like it. I guess I tried it too soon after the first bad experience with it so my judgement was affected the 2nd time around.

 

[Jimi D.]

I have so many flavors today. I don't know where to start. LOL

 

[Bovinia]

Haha, sounds like we all had a funky Monday!

Winds are still raging outside...go away Sandy!!

 

[FranC]

I second that Bov............
