Perfumers Apprentice Flavors

[mangoon]

Any Mountain Dew fans out there? Made my first batch at 20% flavor. While I do like the taste I think I can use a little more flavor. A little leery about going over 20% with TPA because I dont want to ruin my batch. What flavor% do you M.DEW fans usually use? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I just tried YFA Cherry Blossom at 10% mixed with VG and let it steep overnight. WOW, what a vape! I'm not gonna add anything else.. just vape it as is.

One of my favorites @ 20%.

I go with 15% in 80/20 pg/vg and it's the best juice ever.

I've asked about Snickerdoodle on ECF several times. Finally tried TFA cinnamon sugar cookie at 15% and TFA cinnamon spice at 5%, and it tastes great!

Just made my first batch of the Double RY4 flavor. I used 7% into an 80/20 mix. WOW it was absolutly awsome. On par with the pre mixed ones I liked and used to order. Very strong at 7% and prob could have used a bit less but all the good qualities of a good ry4 were there.

Orange Cream @ 15% 80/20. Hot bath and a couple days steep....one of the best 'out of the box' flavors I've had to date. Spot on Creamsicle flavor!

Thanks for posting that. Sounds really good.

What is the best way to age my bottle of Gingerbread?

I had some older gingerbread that really tasted great (bought from a company that had a great price on it for a 30ml), then I bought a 4oz new bottle a little while back and it just doesn't taste as great...I have tried mixing a 10ml bottle, letting it sit overnight with the dropper off, also: waiting a few days, even sitting atop a hard-drive that is hooked up to a usb cable outside of my computer but all to no avail... I mixed in a 30ml and have waited even longer before first use, I even left the lid off of the bottle of flavoring for a couple of hours to hopefully add fresh air to aid in aging. I seriously doubt that the flavor was modified after seeing how many love this flavor!

Next I am thinking that if I leave my 30ml bottle I transfer the flavor from the 4oz into in my car for a couple of days the heat will age it just like it ages the finished mix much quicker,,,other than that I am running out of ideas.... I've added more drops initially and also after it has aged a bit and nothing works!

RTS has a 25% off sale going on for the TPA flavors. The TPA flavors are good but I'm not getting any luck blending them as the percentages are so different and if I go over 25% total flavor (e.g. 8% flavor A, 8% Flavor B, 8% Flavor C) I get a perfumy taste. It's going to take a lot of practice.

Can someone give me the particulars on a "hot bath"?

Any experience with tpa Irish Cream? Need help, Thanks

I've had some TPA flavors sitting here for about 2-3 weeks (ordered some from RTS vapes when I ordered nic liquids and some from myfreedomsmokes)
Why do they have a chemical/perfumey smell and taste to them? I ordered all these because of seeing good reviews for DIY juices using this company's concentrates, but so far nothing is working out for me. Do I wait another month or two? I tried leaving the caps off for a few hours one night but the smell in the room was overpowering and put the caps back on LOL.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I've tried everywhere from 1% to 10% and all are awful! The overwhelming perfume/chemical smell and taste are present even at the lowest dilutions! I've tried adding sweetners to try to disguise, but nothing helping so far

The package that my juices came in was real perfumy, but none of my flavors are... and I am very sensitive to stuff.

Maybe you should Try another Manufacture.

I started with Lorann's Flavorings and I didn't like them. Just about gave up on DIY.

Then I tried TPA and Liked the "Brown" Flavors. The Fruit Flavors were Good.

Then I tried FlavorArt and I Love there Fruit Flavors. The rest were OK.

I've found that each flavoring manufacture has its best of the best, as well a there Blaaaaaaa flavors, after you've been at DIY for some time you end up getting to know what flavors you like from each vendor and having a collection of a little bit from all of them, and that works best for me.

I find the same to be True for Many e-Liquid Retailers.

Some have Great Fruit e-Liquids and some have Better "Brown" e-Liquids for my taste.

Maybe this is Largely due to the Fact that they use One Manufactures Flavorings.

@hubseven,
I've mixed up TPA Irish Cream and Capella's Irish Cream flavors. To me, TFA/TPA is the hands down winner. The TFA/TPA a very smooth, silky, creamy vape whereas the Capella's is much more liquory (not a word but I think you'll understand). It seems to have a more liquor base like rum or something. Capella's does give a better TH though. So, if you're looking for something that is more like a milkshake then TFA is the way to go. If you want something more like the liquor then Capella's might be what you're looking for.
I mix the TFA Irish Cream at about 10-12% but I sometimes feel the urge to go a bit stronger. My only complaint about the TFA Irish Cream is that sometimes when I vape it for a long time or while drinking something (alcohol or non) it seems to lose its flavor. Kind of like eating ice cream quickly, if that makes any sense.
I hope that helps.
Dawn

I have found by cutting back on the amount of flavoring. They taste much better. I usually mix tpa flavors. 5-8%
