The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[BigLungs]

hey guys, Frankenvape by The Standard. Enjoy!

All flavors are FA (Flavor apprentice)

1 part - Kiwi (double)
1 part - Orange Cream
1 part - Marshmallow
1 part - Irish cream

Personally I like to up the Kiwi to 2 parts... but its much more subtle in the standard version.

You do know that without percentages there is no way for someone to replicate this, right?

Here is an example: I can make this and use 1% of each flavor(that makes 1 part of each) and it will probably taste like nothing, or I could make this and use 25% of each flavor(that makes it nothing but flavoring) and will probably end up vomiting all over the place.

My point is that your "recipe" is worthless without percentages of flavors used.

BTW: FA is the abbreviation used for FlavorArt, and Flavor Apprentice is TFA.

Just sayin', not to be a nit-picker

I hope spaceman44 chimes in and lets us know what he considers a "part". I don't know if he is new to DIY but any recipe posted is valuable and not worthless, imho.

talking about caramel not original or candy type just the plain caramel
Caramel TFA Flavor

anyway yeah nasty by itself, i can detect it in the ry4 asian along with what seems to be rasin

Actually, its my favorite Caramel version the TFA makes, not sweet and buttery like all the others. This makes it more versatile for mixing.

I am sorry but as a recipe, which is meant for others to follow and duplicate, yes it is worthless. If he would clarify what a part is, exactly(as in 5%, or # of drops along with drops/ml), then it would be a worthwhile recipe again.

As it stands right now all that we have is a list of flavors that he says work well together, this is not at all a recipe. I am not trying to put anyone down, just calling it like it is.
If you want to call it a recipe, then it has no merit. If you want to call it a list of flavors that play well with each other, then it has merit.

I think Spaceman is simply saying to use equal parts of these 4 ingredients. If you normally use TFA at 15% divide by four and use 3.75% of each flavor. If you normally use 10% TFA flavor, use 2.5% of each. Everyone is going to adjust the flavorings to their own taste anyway.

My new ADV (I like strong flavors):

Strawberries and Cream
10% TFA Strawberry (ripe)
10% TFA Whipped Cream

Simple, but very tasty.

Too bad I switched from WL to VT nic and ran out of Whipped Cream. Need to order more so I don't have peppery strawberries and cream.

Luckily 4oz of Whipped Cream is pretty reasonable!

 

[Emilie]

In the meantime I'm vaping Strawberry Malt, which is:

10% TFA Strawberry (ripe)
10% TFA Malted Milk

It doesn't really taste like a strawberry malt, but more of a mellowly sweet strawberry.

If anyone is interested in how to make TFA butterscotch taste good, strawberry ripe is the answer. Try 4% TFA Butterscotch with 1% Strawberry Ripe. Mmmmmm.

And yes, I know the BS has the bad stuff in it.

Interesting combination, never would have thought about those together.
Now, I'm wondering if the Butterscotch would make the Strawberry taste any better, lol.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream makes the Strawberry taste better!
And I could care less about the BS BS

Made ooey gooey cinnamon buns....its steeped a week and its pretty decent. Ive got it in my kayfun lite + and its 60/40 at 6mg. It missing something but cant put my finger on it. I cant stop vaping it but its missing something on the inhale. The aftertaste is terrific tho
10% cinnamon danish
1.66% brown sugar
2.33% marshmellow

It might. I accidentally put the BS in a tank that had strawberry it and had a eureka moment. I would have never guessed. I cannot taste the strawberry in it at all. Try flipping the ratios to favor the strawberry...

Bingo. Seems like you're the only one whose ever cooked anything here....

Sorry for confusing the other folks, but I use a flavor % of 15...

I would add some Cheesecake (Graham Crust) 2%.
And lower the Marsh and Brown Sugar to 1% each.

Or maybe add some Vanilla Cupcake.

Haven't used much Butterscotch as I previously thought it was kinda bland as a stand alone.
This was back when I first quit analogs and think it might be better tasting now that my buds have come back a bit.
Gonna try your idea tho, but don't have any of the "Ripe" version, as I've detested the strawberry flavorings used so far.
And maybe creep up the strawberry until it just starts to reveal itself, just thinking out loud here.

As usual, another flavor I don't have, was scared away by the "custard notes", don't know why cause I've already got a bunch.
I'd probably start at 10% Vanilla Bean and 1% Strawberry, lol.

 

[flowerpots]

I made a quick test batch of:

TFA Butterscotch
TFA Peanut Butter
INA Caramel

This stuff is going to be good, but I've got to tweak the recipe to see what % is needed of each. I may add some cream in there...will report back later.

The marshmellow is not necessary, unless you just prefer that taste in your gooey's. I would add Bavarian Cream and Cotton Candy. Those two will both round out the others and sweeten to taste. I use the following:

10% Cinnamon Danish
6% Bavarian Cream, and
10% Cotton Candy

Delicious, not too much cinnamon, which is easy to overdo. Sweet and creamy. Wonderful. Been on my ADV list for 18 months. This is a favorite of many on my family/friend list. Good luck!
