Perfumers Apprentice Flavors

I just tried the waffle & sweet cream. The waffle is too light for me. Great base flavor, though. I think between the malted milk & sweet cream, sweet cream is better. It really has a great base flavor, the only thing I can think to describe it is a sweet, light vanilla cream, kind of like cool whip. A lovely addition to any flavor you want to make creamier. But I got the cheesecake also and it is divine.

Did you let it sit for 24 hrs before trying it? All of the pros here say it has to sit that long for the flavors to meld togther and reach full strength.

Nah, in my experience, the initial taste is pretty on par with what it would be even if it sat for a couple days.

I just tried to make a cherry cheesecake with black cherry, amaretto, graham cracker, & cheesecake. I definitely need to add way more cherry. It's weird that the cheesecake kind of overpowered the mix. It's good and light, if you're into that kind of thing, but I need intensity, dammit!

Linda sent me samples of the malted milk and sweet cream with my last order. I am going to mix some up this weekend but was wondering if anyone else had tried them.

Those two are on my list along with quite a few others. I'm waiting another day or so until Linda releases a few new flavors. This will be my third order from her; I just love her flavors, her service, packaging and prices. Right now I'm enjoying, really enjoying, a chocolate orange mix I made from TPA flavors and looking forward to trying a chocolate coconut juice when I get my next order.

The waffle is very light. It has a buttery maple flavor but isn't very "bready".

The sweet cream with PA Tangerine is yummy orange cream! The PA sweet orange is too light when mixed and gets lost. (nice on it's own though!)

Has anybody else been a taster for the Absinthe flavors? I don't care for the Absinthe #1 sample but the Absinthe #2 is fairly interesting. A good representation of the anise flavor that I remember from Absinthe.

I did some Diy today and one that came our very good was the chocolate coconut caramel. It tastes a lot like German Chocolate Cake frosting.

I can't seem to get the blueberry to come through. I added a little cotton candy thinking maybe if it was sweeter it would come through more. I'll try it in the morning.

I also made Almond Amaretto Caramel that I'll taste in the morning but it sure smells good!

My all day vape is Capella Chocolate Toffee, (PA) Cheesecake with PA Caramel.

I want to remember to ask Linda about a rich Mexican (burnt) caramel like Dulce De Leche or flan.

Can anyone comment on the blackberry flavor compared to Lorannes?

Over a couple of days I've gone to 20% on the blueberry (started at 5%) and still can't get a blueberry taste. I wonder if I added too much cheesecake and it's masking the blueberry???? Any suggestions?

Normally a 10/5 is what I use for mixes. e.g blueberry cheesecake. We want the blueberry, then the cheesecake. Try this:

• pg 17 drops
• blueberry 2 drops
• cheesecake 1 drop

or

• pg 17 drops
• cheesecake 2 drops
• blueberry 1 drop

I haven't tried their blueberry but most fruit flavours surface rather readily to me, that's why the 2 recipes. The above recipe = 15% flavouring

I just tried this in a condom (someone here suggested that) and it's a great way of measure flavoring strength! Thanks

I could think of much better uses for that, but maybe that's just me.

I think that's a "cartomizer condom" being referenced. But these posts made me LOL!

 

[Safira]

Ohhhh, oopsie. Sorry, I was really confused on how that would help, but your condom makes more sense.

 

[GoodDog]

OMG!!! I wasn't thinking!! ROFL For the longest time I wouldn't use that term because I was embarrassed by the reference and now look what I go and do.

You are funny Safira!! LOL

Just got in some new flavors and tried out 3 quick mixes.

First, the MJ is amazingly accurate... Wow, it's been a long time, but it brought back memories...

Tried the Red Bull at 15% with 0.01% of splendex (a premixed cut so I can use small amounts) in a no-nic 90%PG 10%VG base. Nice! Best flavor of this type I have tried to date.

Sweet Orange... this one will require some PGA to be usable... The oil base will not mix with the PG worth a bean and the dripper that came on it has the bulb 3 times normal size. This one is getting thrown out till I get a premix in some PGA to see if I can get it to mix right. Shame that it smells so good if it is going to be an issue. (Yes, I know the general thoughts on oil based, but I have used some without issues at lower concentrations and had hopes for this one.)

It will eventually stop separating, but it takes a long time - a couple of weeks for me. I shook it every day and finally it held. It needs a sweetener or it tastes like orange peel. Isn't the smell wonderful!!

Ok, who asked Linda for pizza, blue cheese, & nacho flavor?????

I saw those, I was like.. wth?!?! lol

I'm going to request Black Tea and French Toast , Buttered Popcorn so I don't keep having to get 2 of those from Capella anymore and can just shop at PA. Haven't done it yet because I thought it might be weird... maybe not haha

Which is better to use as a sweetener the ethyl maltol pre-mixed liquid or the sweetener liquid?

Ethyl Maltol, bar none.
