Nature's Flavors recipe thread

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Anyone care to share a little malt sample? I'd love to try it, but don't want to lock myself into a big bottle just in case, and am not ready to put in another flavor order anywhere just yet as I'm still trying to decide a few things and get some funds squared away.

Better to ask and get a no, or no replies, than to have not asked at all I suppose! Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

It'll take me a couple days, but I'll send you 5 mL of mine. I'll try for Fri or Sat, might be Monday.

Sweet, that rocks! Thanks so much, can't wait to try it out!

Have you malt fans used TFA Malted Milk? I was considering it on a few of my last orders, but it hadn't made it into any of my final checkouts yet If you have, how's it compare, if no comparison to NF is it at least decent anyway in it's on TFA kinda way?

Danish - meh
Butterscotch - meh
Kona Cream - meh
Malt - A Hit !!!
Vanilla - meh
Bavarian Cream - pretty good but diacetyl thing keeping me away.
Caramel Cream - meh same as above

Not really liking these flavors and still experiencing that harshness in these flavors. Even after evaporating the alcohol.

I know I cannot get past the alcohol--even 3 weeks later. The Kona Cream is my keeper along with espresso and coffee and mocha. Cappucino had the sediment so that was a turn-off. I really wanted to love Marshmallow as it smells so good. I'm thinking these might be better for people who use more VG than I do or as mixers only. Got 6 flavors if anybody is looking.

So, first time DIY'er here. I have 100mg/ml nic base and vg. I use 100% VG. I just got my first bottles from Nature's Flavors. What do you guys recommend for % on the these? I'm going to stick with using one flavor at a time for now. And if you suggest using distilled water, how much of that?

Pina Colada
Irish Creme
Bavarian Creme
Chai
Cappucino

(I've done my research and have experience with nasty chemicals, and yes I do have the e-juice calculator, just looking for starting percentages.)

I think the chai is super strong and 5% was enough. Of your others, I only have Bavarian Crème and have been using that mixed with others. Some of the other flavors I got in the coop I've tried up to 25% and the flavor is just so-so, like malt, English toffee, and caramel crème.

Def start around 3-5% and work your way up. Its up to you to find the sweet spot as everyone prefers different flavor levels.

I also cant get past the alcohol in these at all. I'm hugely disappointed in this stuff but maybe I hyped it a bit much in my head. When I see Organic I expect to be blown away by true flavor. So far I'm not impressed. I think Capellas taste way better than most of these. Malt, Chai and English Toffee are the ones I like but Im not blown away by them. I think using high VG would be prove to be a better option for using this stuff too Shilo.

I like the stuff fine. And I'm more at the start with 10% Chai is great and I was around %15. If your not .... about how much nic your vaping it takes a big load off and frees you up to make the flavor what you want. 3 ml batches and you won't waste as much playing around. I'm the one who will encourage everybody to loosen up and take the good and leave the bad. It's really isn't rocket science unless your a vendor and have o supply rock solid consistency ( they do ok if it's the same number of MLs you repeat buy) or need to have a real profit line going.

 

[skoot]

That's exactly my attitude. I've been brewing beer for 23 years and it's the same thing.

It has nothing to do with any of that. Its the sharp tones of the alcohol or whatever I find in every flavor I have tried that turned me off. Is it because it was a flavor for coffee beans and not a particular line? I dunno and would love to hear more opinions. It has nothing to do with NF not wanting to tell about Diacetyl in their juice. Its just not for me is all. Ive done this long enough to know what I like out of flavors and what I expect to what I actually get. Was my expectations of this stuff high? Sure it is but its like that with every new flavor line I try. I know that the flavors I got weren't very good and at least wasn't what I was looking for is all. These forums are for us to share our opinions and hopefully take some leg work for other who are interested in it. Im not here to make a decision for you but I hope I at least helped you make a decision based on what was shared.

Yeah I'm still learning and everybody knows that, I post because IF somebody fits my shoes it's a support. I'm all about support actually and thinking out loud. I posted somewhere that in a year I'll be singing a different kind of song. This is just newbie me. Im influenced by past experiences. I tend to be very literal minded and it cramps looseness of being. I don't think it's good. I followed a horse training program and it took me several years to assimilate and make it my own due to my literal minded stuff. It was a really important ends our back then I really had a lot to prove and quite a bit loose actually. NOW, since that experience, I don't t myself go there. I hope this helps. It's all I ever intend in anything I express. You are in the majority I believe regarding alcohol. But some people add 40% for throat hit. HUGE No No if you care about your body but just saying....

 

[ToweKnee]

In my opinion I'm always learning. I hope it didn't seem like I was attacking you. I was just trying to clarify why I didn't like these is all. If I did I apologize and wasn't my intention. I think I am more disapointed than anything.

Oh no I don't feel attacked. I'm just sorting things out. And I also feel compelled to offer up a feeling of freedom to anybody who might fit my shoes. Frustrated and tentative, afraid to make mistakes, not having fun, believing everybody else knows and being left empty handed and ineffective. Past experiences of my own. Lowering expectations is really a huge tool for many things. Having too high expectations has always left me feeling disappointment so it's an interesting evaluation on your part. Now I know I know the flavor could give a damn what we think but in the animal world they are extremely sensitive to all the subtleties. I learned to see the very first try and reward a lot at that time. I learned to see the animal actually think about trying and reward that. Nothing to do with juice making except if your a newbie. We can learn to see our very "first try" and reward ourselves. Leave the bad and claim the good. It's very freeing. I'll be the first to admit if I need to precisely measure everything to continue doing good I will, but also I don't want to have to because it's not me. And their really really is more than one way to skin a cat. I highly recommend DIY for everybody. It's just another way to become non dependent. And since the monetary loss is so low to try and totally fail ( you really can't but....) it's not like pushing people to blow a lot of money or make idiots out of themselves. Just saying in this economy there room for everybody to jump on the DIY bandwagon and o or it and that I myself think it's easy....but. Sure didn't starting out....kind of like the rba thing. Just go or it...ha ha like I didn't until pondering and reading or like 4 months ( same with DIY) I nought I didn't want to get so all involved and complicated but it really isn't that's all, especially with the long DIYers talking about about the tricks. DIY is a lot more subjective than rba- ing! I'm playing advocate for any newbie. Because hats what I am. Whew!

What pH are all your final mixes everyone?

 

[bilboda]

ph? you give em a litmus test? All i give em is a taste test.

 

[LaciJ]

As far as the NF flavors are concerned, which ones are people using effectively? There are so many choices, it's hard to know what will work and what won't. Are you using the Organic Extracts, or the Organic Super Concentrates, or maybe the non organics?

 

[Faylool]

The co op group went for the organics in the coffe bean category and the rest of it subjective as to taste. I remember the blueberry and strawberry did not live up to expectations and I didn't find a lot of problem with any of the samples we got really. Nothing horrid or like that except I mixed blueberry and cake batter together and I couldn't save it. They are having free shipping ( it may still be on)

 

[Faylool]

Tats an interesting question. Actually there could be a lot to it since in the snus world they use salt to alter the ph to make the nicotine more absorbable through mucous membrane /mouth. I wonder what it has to do with flavor now. Also in pipe and cigar tobacco they alter it to make it more absorbable in mucous membrane/mouth. What do you know? Swish mouth with salt water and ape in a new way ( not lingering in mouth so long?) hmmmm. I get plenty nic already though but flavor I can never get enough of and my nose stops working a lot!
