The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

I know it doesn't seem like much.
I use high flavoring too, but this is real nice for a change.
It has a nice refreshing, change of pace, after dinner dessert type flavor.
The CDM has a lot of flavor, and the creams are just to take the edge off and smooth it out, making it creamy.
You can "double up" if you want, but I would give it a shot first.

I'm going to mix up the Chocolate Covered Cherry this weekend,
The recipe I was using called for TFA Dbl Choc, Marshmallow, and a cherry. flavoring.
Your creams will be a lot better I think
I have a "Sweet Cherry" from another company I may try.
I've tried a Maraschino flavoring, and it's way to strong unless you use 1% in 10 ml.
Kind of like using TFA Caramel Cappuccino
Thanks for the recipe

Oh, I know all about the TFA Maraschino Cherry. The FW Maraschino is better in a lot of ways, and the strength is a lot different. I use the TFA cherry extract in several recipes at the higher percentages with good results, I think. It's pretty good and spot on in my Fruit Loops with dulce de leche. I don't think I've shown Fruit Loops before:

Fruit Loops

Cherry (extract) - 9%
Raspberry - 8%
Orange Cream - 1%
Dulce de Leche - 2%

Good stuff, I think. I am going to work on a better Fruit Loops in the near future. I want something richer and sweeter. I hear you about your CdM recipe. Ciao!

Does anyone have a Coffee & Cream recipe?

Café Mocha

Coffee - 9%
Chocolate - 4%
Bavarian Cream - 3-5% (flavor to taste)
Sweet Cream - 2%
Sweetener - 3%

Pretty good stuff I think if you're a coffee vaper. I'm not so much, but found this to be pretty tasty. I will sometimes make this just with Bavarian Cream and Cotton Candy, the choco and coffee.

Does anyone have any opinions on the ripe vs non-ripe flavors of the same/similar flavor?

They are very different from one another, imho. The Ripe is a sharp flavor note and tastes more like the rind, the other, sweeter, juicier tasting more like the inner fruit. I prefer the NON ripe flavorings most of the time, but they each have their uses.

Hahahahahahah. I did 5% tiramisu alone, and it was the worst thing I've EVER tasted. It was also possibly the only vape I've actually had a gag reflex from

I haven't tried it, but between cappuccinos, mocha's, various creams, I have chunked more juice....

There has got to be a simple recipe out there that replicates a good cup of coffee with cream... I hope?

 

[mikeulon]

I'm a little late here lol. Subscribed and officially lurking. Can't find the list but would like to add ginger bread to it if it's not already there. Start at 5% and go from there. Great alternative to cinnamon red hots. Also saw a question about Mary Jane % a while back. 3-6 imo but hey to each his own. Great thread here guys!

I made a coffee with cream flavor a long while back using TFA coffee clear and TFA sweet cream. I'll see if I can find the recipe tonight and post it.

From what I remember it was more like a Vietnamese coffee. Punchy black coffee poured over top of settled condensed milk.

Well that sounds really interesting! Can't wait to see/try it.

Hmm... anyone ever make a lemonade with a hint of ginger?

I know this is TFA thread, but lemonade is one of the two flavors I use non-TFA. I find loranns lemonade to be a spot on lemonade drink at 12% nothing else added. Toss a little ginger in there and you would be good to go.

Since TFA only has lemon, and not lemonade, I have been reluctant to try it. All the reviews on TFA lemon tell me it is more of a candy lemon flavor, and would not be what I am looking for in a lemonade.

If anyone else has a spot on lemonade using only TFA flavors, I would love to hear it as well.

I think I have my Blueberry Vanilla Cake pretty close. At this point I am going to let it steep for a day or two and see if the flavors meld together better, but this is so close, and good as it is, that I think it is a winner (to me!)

Blueberry 8%
Vanilla cake 11%
Vanilla Swirl 6%
Bavarian Cream 3%
Cotton Candy 4%

Soooooo close I can taste it..

I belong to several groups on Facebook about DIY. Just more resources and ideas. In one group they posted a web site that is working on a list of flavor descriptions. This is not just TFA flavors, so I ran it by Bill and he said to go ahead and post. TFA does not have all the flavors we might want, and I know from my small experience there are variations in flavors between companies for flavors with the same name. Thought perhaps others would find this useful. From what I understand it is a work in progress, but already a good resource.

I have made plenty of juice with TFA Lemon and it is an outstanding flavor. You can easily make lemonade, lemon meringue pie, lemon custard, lemon lime, etc. If you are looking to make only single ingredient mixes, there are many other manufacturers out there. If you are looking to make some great mixes, like the lemon juices I have already shown, you can mix them up quite well with TFA. In fact, regular old Lemon is far more flexible in many type of mixes that lemonade would be. Mix lemon with vanillas, custards, creams and sweeteners, sweet and sour, or just sour, and you can make all the recipes mentioned, including lemonade. Two cents....

Wow, sounds fantastic. Looking at your recipe, it sure looks like a winner! Nice job!

Also, juice that is that good right out of the can usually goes from good to very good/great, and that's what you want. Good, right out of the can. This waiting for days and weeks to see if something is any good, is just a mix that's not quite there yet. Great job!

Also, I was looking at that link. Thank you so much for providing this resource for us. Yes, this is a TFA thread, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't know about and use other flavorings if they suit us. Many thanks. Again, the juice looks awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Bill ,which chocolate do you prefer in the coffee?

I have the TFA lemon and it is like candy- I was hoping for a more sour note when I bought it

I'm partial to milk chocolate, but I think the darker chocolates are good too. Personal preference here.

Lemonade:

Lemon - (as much lemon as you want)
Sour - (as sour as you want)
Sweetener - (as sweet as you want)
Vanilla - (as rich as you want)
Cream - (as thin/thick and/or creamy as you want, or not)

Flavor to taste and work out the percentages. If you want a thinner lemonade, leave out vanillas and cream. Sweet and Sour is also good with both lemon and lime. Making good juice is fun and sometimes we have to experiment and mix stuff up. This usefulness of flavor bases, though, cannot be overstated. Mixing orange and cream is more flexible than mixing up Orange Cream for example, because you can adjust the notes to match your target, and not just the intensity of the single already mixed up multi-flavor, which is usually not that strong to start with, note wise. However, by using single flavor notes, you can make it any strength flavoring you like for each note. Food for thought, experimentation, fun. There's no one right way on any of this stuff. Be creative. There's really no limit on any of it, except, perhaps our own imaginations. Sometimes 1 + 1 =3 with juices mixes. Just sayin'.....
