Tpa Cinnamon danish is one of the very few tpa flavors i like. Capellas is sweeter and like a moist danish while TPA's is like a graham cracker with a hint of cinnamon. Both are good but very different.

As for tpa ry4 i would mix it at 100% water to the whole bottle of flavoring . Make sure to also mix it in the sink without the bottle lol .

Would you say capella's cinnamon danish is more similar to those 'store bought' individual rolls that you would buy at a store like cinnabon or saint cinnamon? That's what I'm going for. Maybe adding sweetener to TPA danish would achieve this, or should I go for the capella's?

Yes capellas is more like the real thing.Capellas in like a soft moist danish with bright cinnamon taste coated in butter. TPA's although not real tasting is very good though. I think of it more as like a graham cracker in milk and the cinnamon coming from granules made into the graham cracker .I like both but i label the juice i make with tpa's cGc(cinnamon Graham cracker)

I've been doing DIY for nearly 2 years and 90% of what I use is Capella. I find their flavorings to be the best quality, they don't use perfume ingredients and they are easy to work with. For me TFA was difficult to find flavors that tasted like their names and I ended up tossing a lot of them. Capella has been much cheaper for me in the long run since I don't toss anything. I always recommend them to new DIYers because it's easy to get good results right off the bat. TFA is good if you want to learn DIY like cooking from scratch.

EDIT: I just realized I posted this in the TFA thread. Should I remove it? :facepalm:



Capella's is great if you don't mind caramel coloring (carcinogen), complete lack of disclosure regarding acetoin/acetyl propionyl/ or direct diacetyl usage, and zero communication with me regarding additives. TFA does not use colors, has full disclosure of additives, and good communication with customers. Your choice I guess. My choice is fairly obvious.

People shouldnt post stuff they dont know nothing about. SOunds like someone being paid off lol Capella posted a report on diacytal .Wheres TPA's report? She did give her word so that is proof i guess.

THeres no need to be mad that Capellas is getting more and more popular.If you feel so strongly about it then you just shouldnt vape them or vape ejuice vendors juice as most of them are using capellas in lots of their juice.

Yah, I wonder about that myself sometimes. If the old adage is true that "if something tastes good - then it can't be good for you" is true, then we're all in a heap of trouble with not only Capella's but also some of the flavorings from other suppliers, lol. I personally shy away from any vendors strong butter and/or custard flavors as well as dark colored flavors as much as possible. That doesn't mean that I won't vape them - it's just that they are not my all day vape. And that's why I go with TPA's vVanilla Swirl which tastes like that cheap discount store vanilla ice cream because it lacks the custard note. But that's just me. Everyone has to make their own decisions in this endeavor that sometimes lacks full disclosure from vendors and certainly lacks long-term studies on its users.

Anyhow, whatever you choose - vape on as this surely has to be better than smoking.

I would agree here. I have been pretty much using TPA flavors exclusively. I don't like the idea of inhaling the other chemicals used in the custard flavors. I quit smoking to get the health effects and save $$$. While vaping has got to be better than smoking I still try to make it as "safe" as I can by avoiding colorings and other added chemicals as much as reasonably possible.

I like the fact that TFA are much more willing to answer questions when asked something and they let you leave reviews of flavors on the website. I've asked several things and got answers properly. I also like the fact that they take the feedback and try to improve things if necessary without getting bent out of shape. Linda is a really nice person to talk to. I recently got an new bottle of their double chocolate and it tastes and smells the same to me as another famous brand in the same flavor. Actually also very close to a 3rd DC I have too. Good Prophets has a pretty good deal on 30 ml sizes once you determine your favorites.

LOL...Don't get me started :) I'm just looking out for fellow vapers. I have absolutely no affiliation with any company. Coloring does NOTHING for flavor. Why not just take it out???? OR have one with coloring and one without (for vapers). Also, is it that difficult to note when acetoin or diacetyl is used. Once again a cheap and easy solution...disclosure. That's ALL I'm looking for. Truth and solutions.

GoodProphets is having a sale until 3/20 on their TPA flavors. 10ml bottles for $1.99, 30ml bottles for $3.99. Use TVCFRIEND for an extra 5% off. If you spend $30, shipping is free. I always keep my eye out for sales from GP. I've been buying my TPA flavors from there for a while, always good service.

me too...half of my tpa flavors came from GP...:)

Okie-dokie, venturing into some new waters. I just got a nice freebie of TFA Tobacco flavor from my favorite supplier. I know absolutely NOTHING about tobaccos except that they have to steep a while. I'm more of the fruit, drink & pastry lady, so any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I'm going to check out some of the tobacco threads & see if I can find something there, too. Thanks in advance. I know you guys are up on this stuff. :D

Newwell, nice to see someone with the courage to take on the leaf flavors. Tobaccos can be a challenge, without knowing which one you have the best advice would be start really low and let it steep at least a week before judging it. My suggestion is to do three different %'s and let them set for the week. As an example do a 1% a 3% & 5% or 1% a 4% & 7%. This will not only give you the three %'s you mixed, it will also allow you to mix two for a taste of the % between them (equal amounts of 1% & 3% is 2%). After tasting and deciding on a % I then mix them all together and make adjustment to bring it to the chosen %.
