Recommendation for fruit shake flavorings

[mohitgarg]

I am looking to make a few fruit shake style flavors, mainly, I'm looking for:
1. Pineapple and cream
2. Mango and cream
3. Strawberry and cream
4. Chocolate and cream

Since I am located in India, it is a pain to get flavorings, so I wanted to try and hit it right on the first go and then order more of the one I like.

Right now, I'm looking to get:
1. Mango TFA
2. Pineapple TFA
3. Strawberry Ripe TFA
4. Double Chocolate Clear TFA
4. Bavarian Cream TFA
5. Vanilla Bean Ice Cream TFA

Using 5 and 6, make a cream base and then use 1-4, for the fruit part.

I generally use 80VG/20DW as my base and then add flavor. I don't have issue with using PG based flavor. 0 nic.

I'd add ripe banana, sweet raspberry, probably a coconut. The first two go really well in cream or milkshake mixes. Coconut could complement those two as well as all the others you first listed. Key Lime would be useful in combination with some of them, too. TFA makes good versions of those flavors.

It may sound crazy but I think TFA Dragon fruit is good and also mixes well with other fruits. For a creamy touch, I use TFA Vanilla Swirl quite a bit. Good luck!

Did you happen to see my thread about fruity flavors and the help I need?

Thanks guys, looks like I am moving in the right direction. Will test the recommendations from WizardLabs and then order from HeartlandVapes if I like the TFA flavorings, I really like the FW Butterscotch and Ecto Cooler.

Anyone have any experience with HeartlandVapes? Going with them for the 4oz options for FW and TFA, anyone else offering the same?

I use TFA Vanilla Swirl quite a bit.

For creaminess, I use and like it a lot too.

To add to the already fine suggestions, I believe I would definitely put TFA Juicy Peach on my list also. If I wanted to achieve a cooler sensation, I would also add TFA koolada.

How does Koolada compare to Extreme Ice from FW? Already got a fair amount of Extreme Ice.

The dragon fruit and juicy peach are both great.I have made a few of the recipes posted on here using the dragon fruit and it is very good.I also just made a peaches and cream using the juicy peach,and it is very good as well,which is saying alot because i am not really a fan of real peaches,but that flavor is great.

Are you adding any type of sweetener to make it pop?

I'll just note that my experience with TPA/TFA Double Chocolate Clear wasn't good -- so much so, that I'm wondering if I got part of a botched batch. I tried it at 10%, then bumped up to 15%, as a single flavor liquid and it's not coming across at all for me. It tastes ... faintly caramel maybe? Not chocolate in any sense I recognize. Maybe I got a bad bottle, or a mistaken decant of something else, I don't know, but it might be worth getting some more opinions on that one.

I tried TFA Dbl. Choc. Clear also, but I started at 10% and worked down to 2%, overpowering other flavors too much.
IDK if I'd call it chocolate tho ? kinda like ?

Also used Milk Chocolate at 10%, and it's meh, but needs to steep for long time (weeks).
I'm too impatient to wait.

I gave up on chocolates for now, so many easier recipes to try.

I also use Vanilla Swirl a lot, and FA Fresh Cream, Vienna Cream, and Catalan Cream.

Good mixers for fruits...

 

[mohitgarg]

So no to the double chocolate? Is there any good chocolate from TFA?

Are you adding any type of sweetener to make it pop?

I haven't used any yet with either flavor,although the first test batches i made,were vaped pretty soon after making them,and they both had a bit of sweetness to them already from the cream.I recently made a bigger bottle of the dragon fruit recipe,and after steeping for a week,i tried it,and it may need just a drop or so of sweetener,as the sweetness from the flavors seems to have went away with the steeping.It is still very good,but i like a bit of a mild sweet taste,so i will probably try 1 drop and see what difference it makes.

Yeah with any creamy or bakery style flavors, I don't have any issues with sweetness. It's the fruity flavors that I want to make sweeter.

Chocolates are all meh, from what I've read, but I haven't actually tried Inawera, CAP, FW, etc., Only TPA.

 

[Heabob]

If I was stuck with only TFA flavorings to use, (not a bad thing though).

Must have's for me:

Blueberry Wild
Orange Cream
Strawberry Ripe
Pineapple
Vanilla Swirl
French Vanilla
Sweet Cream
Brown Sugar
Malted Milk
Caramel (Original)

Got lots more but I've used these the most.

If you get any chocolates, just don't buy 30ml bottles like I did, lol.
Save them for later, after you've got some other stuff made ahead.
Allow 2 weeks min. steep time.
And don't use any nic base, as you may end up dumping them.
Chocolate, ie Coco, used in baking is quite bitter, and requires a ton of sugar, salt, vanilla & butter too I think.
You could try sucralose or stevia, I haven't used any yet tho.
Coil gunker for sure.

I also have to have:
CAP-NY Cheesecake, Vanilla Custard, Cinnamon Danish Swirl, (still wanna get some others like coconut).
FA-ALL the Creams and Vanilla's, and Cookie so far.
