TFA - Honey, what to do with it?!

[jozef-3d]

So I've been struggling with how to use the honey from TFA. I seem to get terrible results with it, even at small amounts. It smells and taste like talcum powder/baby powder with a floral undertone reminiscent of funeral home flowers.

Anyone use this honey flavor at all? I'm close to dumping my whole bottle.

I've herd that there have not been to many successes with it. It will most likely need a good long steep and you should start at 2% with that.

It's good to know I'm not the only one. Even at 1% it was still unpleasant. Perhaps I can try making a 5ml juice and let it steep for a month. I fear I'll probably still end up dumping it.

Let it steep and see how it does. I'm sure the chemical taste will go away. TFA is funny that way.

afaic, tfa honey is a lost cause. I like quite a few of their flavors, just not that one. 5 weeks...2 months and still no joy. It's ranged from grandma powder to burning rubber at different %. 2 really good Honey flavors are VZSC Gourmet and Inawera with Inawera holding top spot. You'd think I was their shill or something haha. No, just good stuff.

As a beekeeper's daughter, I can say with great assurance that Mt. Baker Vapor's honey flavor only remotely tastes like honey. That said, however, I don't dislike it, and will probably be mixing it at 2%. Everyone is different.

And some honeys are very different.

No amount of steeping, sitting, bathing, whatever you want to call will change a bad flavor into a good flavor. It is known that I am extremely biased against such acts, and I find the idea of flavors magically morphing from unvapable to ADV's ridiculous.

To clarify: I don't find anything wrong with allowing a blend, or flavoring to settle. Many times this can take just a couple of hours. But when I read that people make juices and do not vape them for days, weeks, or even over a month, I can't help but to shake my head in wonder.

If that's how people like to to do their thing, more power to them. But telling people that a bad flavor will get better by sitting around for any given amount of time is bad advice. My opinion: Throw it out, try again with a new supplier.

Dang, wish I had known this about the honey concentrate, just ordered some from WL. Well it was only 1 bottle for $1.49, but I was hoping a nice honey flavor, LOVE honey, really good for brewing Mead too.

Vape On

TFA Honey sucks (IMO)!

Thanks for the warning. I received a sample from WL some time ago and was wondering what to do with it. Guess I'll "round file it".

My experience is with The Flavor Apprentices Honey. I haven't tried WL so I can't say about that..plus I don't know who WL is

I wonder if anyone likes TFAs honey at all.

I use Wizard Labs, which sells TFA, Lorann, and I think one other. Thanks for the heads up on this. When I resupply I guess I will go back to MBV, although I hardly ever order from them any more because Wizard is so much better for DIY, generally.

Although I haven't tried either one of these, I read good things about TFA Honeysuckle, which imparts a sweetness to liquids and doesn't smell like urine . Might that be more to your taste?

I too was really looking forward to the TFA Honey from WL. I mixed at 1-8% and waited for over 2months before I threw the whole mess away. At the end of the day the urine smell can not be fixed.

Honeysuckle is a floral. It is named honeysuckle because you can suck nectar out of the base of the flower. 'Cept I just ate the bases of the flowers when I was a kid. I am sucking on that right now, and it is as authentic as it can be!!

TFA Black Honey (formely Black Honey Tobacco) from Wizard Labs is very good IMO and many others also. I mix it at 10% while others use 5to 8 % mostly. I have never tried the just Honey however.

Glad I read this, I've been eyeing TFA's honey, guess I'll skip it.

Honeysuckle I liked, a grassy floral that mellows a little to a sweeter floral, a little reminiscent of jasmine but less intense. Not really honey-like though, fairly close to actually eating honeysuckle, like biting the stem and everything, there's a definite green taste that remains in the sweetness.

Also glad to see I'm not the only kid that ate flowers.
