I tried a bunch of orange flavors in an effort to make a realistic orange flavor. The closest I ever came was a flavor that tasted like Tang orange drink.
This is my first shot at an orange mix but won't be steeped for another 3 weeks
What orange flavor(s) did you use? I bought most of the tfa oranges and a few others. The ecto cooler is the one that tastes like Tang to me.
I have the ecto cooler somewhere...LOL. This is the recipe.
4% FW Blood orange
3% Cap French Vanilla
3% TFA Orange Cream
10% Cap Vanilla Custard or 4% INW Custard
2% Vanillin

So are you going for a creamsicle type flavor? I think you are the first person I have seen include vanillin in a recipe. I bought a 30ml bottle and have never used it.
Yes something like that I'm hoping. Will be your chance to use your vanillin if the juice is good. Won't be trying right off. Just mixed on May 21st.
Is the inw custard a lot stronger? I noticed you listed it at less than half the other one.
Good morning. PT, if you can find a place that sells Lorann flavors or Capella then you could use those. Just don't use anything that is oil based. I'm not sure about using the vanilla extract. Some people do use lemon juice to help lock in flavors in a mix.
Hey Hitt, yeah not sure about the Lorann or Capella was wondering anything else I can use organic or that I can buy at grocery store.
Some craft stores and baking stores here sell loran flavors for baking. Let me do a little thinking and I'll get back to you.
Salemgold said this is how she does a coffee extraction to make coffee flavor liquid.
You take a glass bottle and fill 1/2 way with coffee grounds, 1/2 way with PG or VG. Heat in microwave on high for 10 seconds. Coffee grounds will absorb most of the liquid so you need to fill the bottle back up with PG or VG and set the bottle in a cup of hot water for about 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a coffee filter and you have your flavoring. Pretty easy and a very good flavoring IMO. You can use plain or flavored coffees and your liquid will taste the same as the coffee that you extracted from. I find using about 3% of this to flavor my liquid is great for my tastes.

That sounds great Hitt, now another question. Is microwaving PG or VG with nicotine OK? Also, coffee grounds, used or fresh?
I think I'd use fresh grounds. I'm not sure about microwaving nic. I would think that 10 seconds shouldn't hurt it. I think I'd use pg if you have it. It's thinner and I would think easier to work with.
Fresh grounds and use PG. The coffee extract will be very bitter, You'll want to sweeten it with something.
Well, I got the coffee steeping in the PG/VG but not sure if that is going through any coffee filter. Not sure what to use to sweeten with?
Another question, I was weak in chemistry in college so need to ask. The bottle of 50/50 with 4mg nicotine I got says 4mg nicotine on the front, but on the label of ingredients it states Polypropylene glycerol etc and 4% Nicotine, is this correct? Does 4% Nicotine equate to 4mg?
