I think I just have oddball taste buds. I couldn't taste anything with the 2% 4% 6% 8% or 10% bottles, and the 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% had nothing but that diacetyl butter taste to me. I was bummed....

Does this ripe banana taste like a real banana, I have tasted several banana flavors (mixed already from different vendors) and all of them taste like banana candy. I'm not a fan, though I love bananas and keep looking for one that tastes "real".
The TPA Banana also tastes like banana candies, so I guess your search will unfortunately have to go on.

Does anyone happen to have a starting point for TFA Creme de Menthe? I ordered some to make a sort of Andes mint type juice but forgot the chocolate so I figure I'll make a straight creme de menthe for now but don't want to start way too high.
And to add to some already on the list.
Absinthe - 5% is pretty strong to me, no way I could have started it at the listed 10%. An additional ~5% TFA grape juice makes for a nice grape'ish absinthe vape, but I would imagine that knocks my absinthe % to 4 or a little less.
Spearmint - WAY strong...took the advice from here to start under 5%, went with 4%...still WAY too strong. Added unflavored nic base until I ended up around 2 - 2.5% with a little koolada mixed in and it's a lot better but still a bit on the overpowering side.

Odd^ With absinthe 12% was too low for me and after making a batch at 15% and letting it steep, that was too weak too.

nobody huh? what about Horchata. Anyone that can give feedback on this?
I've only tried the Double Chocolate, so I can't tell you how they're different. I can tell you that the Double Chocolate is a lot like chocolate cake, although not terribly sweet at all.
The thing bout chocolate is- You need to add a lot of vanilla flavor to make the juice taste natural.
Try 8-10% Double chocolate clear with 10-15% vanillin and a touch of ethyl maltol(1-2%).

I was thinking of mixing it with banana nut bread
Purely, just read about vanillin. Never heard of that. How would you explain it? Sweet?

Just a heads up, in case you or anyone else later didn't notice the warning on this flavor
Perfumers Apprentice - Cinnamon Sugar Cookie
Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Flavor (TFA)
Sweet, yes. It tastes like vanilla. Not much else to say about it.
I made Creme de Menthe at 7% and that came out plenty flavorful for me. You could probably even go 5% to begin. I thought it actually tasted pretty true to the name. But not having been a menthol smoker (in the past), the mint taste didn't appeal to me. My friend, who also never smoked menthol cigs, LOVED it.
Hi guys, just a quick question for RY4 Asian. If I buy it can it be used as a stand alone? I saw the usual ratio is 10-15%, but I'm just starting diy and I wont be having other flavors to add to the recipe.
I find the flavor great as stand-alone. 8% is what I like. I find it does change with steeping.
Has anyone tried Musk Candy yet? If so, what does it taste like and what strength do you use.
Come to think of it, if anyone has tried actual musk candy, I'm curious what that tastes like too as I've never heard of it until it was listed on TPA.
