The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[jagstownville]

I NEED A NAME FOR THIS juice!!!

I mixed up a new batch of juice and must say its strangely unique. Its so delicious but I can't pin point the flavor so therefore it has yet to be named. Its sweet, caramelly, creamy, vanillie

If someone has these flavors on hand can you make a small batch and try it out and tell we what you think.

VG Base
Graham Cracker Clear 10%
M Type 8%
Mild Black 3%
VBIC 3%
1 drop sucralose per 5 ml
(Sucralose isn't powerful, just the right hint of sweet. Leaves a sweetness on exhale) $2.49 at Walmart for a huge bottle coils hold up on RBAs

24 hours tastes like M Type with a hint of background notes
48-72 hours the flavors blend so nice and its amazingly good

Name? Black & Tan....

I go back through my history of 4+ years of vaping... When I first quit analogs, I was vaping RY4 and other tobacco blends, needing that tobacco flavor and throat hit. Personally, I was smoking menthols, so I think I also had a menthol addiction that I had to wean myself off of too. Red Bull was one of the only non-tobacco flavors that I vaped in the very beginning, also the cola and root beer flavors.

Then, over the next couple of years, I slowly moved over into fruits. Cherry, Banana, Strawberry, etc..

Over the last year or year and a half I have seen, as well as the e-cig juice industry, a move into the more complex/premium style juices and dessert blends.

Fruits have been and will continue to be a popular ingredient for us. It has it's place in a stand-alone flavor but also has a place in many of our blended recipes. I like that we can use a fruit as a main flavor ingredient, but also enhance it with various creams and other things.

Me too, 2009, Screwdriver with 901 atomizer, plastic mouthpiece with Lipton pyramid teabags, Chinese 24mg Flue flavor, leaked all over the ....ing place! No US make eliquid... Mixing my own flavors using stuff from the horridly overpriced Totally Wicked.com ... Finally Kanger EVOD did the trick and now (almost) a year off smokes!

If you find out what version TFA sold please let us know I've been searching for a good orange but haven't yet tried the TFA version

It's the Orange sweet fcc Florida,item number 58.The price is great,it's only $4.20 for a 4oz. bottle,the problem is,they have a $50 mininum order,if you order less than $50 they charge you a $15 surcharge.That sucks,i was going to order that orange from them,but i'm not gonna pay almost $20 for a 4oz. bottle haha.

Be careful with that Mary Jane, it's strong! I followed a recipe that called for 10% + 10% pineapple and I had to dump it, tried diluting numerous times and I couldn't make it work. Plus the flavor stays in the atomizer FOREVER!

I just made this 6 days ago and the MJ is still overpowering, even after 2 days with cap off.

Blueberry Extra (TPA) 4%
English tobacco (SM) 3%
Mary Jane (TPA) 2%
Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA) 4%

Name? Black & Tan....

Funny you should say that. This was a recipe for vanilla black and milds that I tweaked. It called for dk tobacco but I used mild black and added Graham Cracker Clear

When I was a kid we had an ice cream parlor down the road from the house and they had this ice cream called SUPERMAN that's what this flavor reminds me of now that I think about it.

It was like a waffle cone flavored vanilla ice cream

Mr. Furley,That maraschino cherry is the same way,i had it in my protank in that failed cherry starburst attempt,it was in there maybe 5 minutes before i dumped it back out and rinsed everything out.Put a new juice in,all i tasted was cherry,pulled the wick out and replaced,still cherry,pulled wick again,dry burned coil,still cherry haha.Although it is very faint now,it just wont go away,i'm going to tear it all apart,give everything a good soak,and wrap a new coil for it,i will win this battle haha.

If you find out what version TFA sold please let us know I've been searching for a good orange but haven't yet tried the TFA version

I'll email them right now....

As I mentioned the "Orange" is a sweet orange which is listed in their "bulk section" and as of right now they still have stock, but which one it is from Liberty, I'll find out...

If I ordered less than $50.00 of flavoring it would be a first!

Of course I mix a lot too....

As an idea, get a few people together you may know in your area and combine your orders...just a thought...

As I also mentioned TFA still has stock on the Orange in the Bulk Section, about the same price....

I hear you bro. Vaping since 2009, and seen many changes along the way. My first two attempts to vape in 2009 and again in 2011 were not entirely successful. Enter 2012, finally good enough juice and gear to power through a miserable 35 year smoking habit, TG! Better every day since. Good luck to all!

I'm right there with you Bill! 38 year smoker. 2011 tried cig alike. Bad then early 2012 tried again. Found ECF and read, a lot! Learned about a B&M in my aria from ECF posts. Better gear, better juice. More reading shopping online, better gear better juice! Now ECF has brought me to you all and DIY and TFA. Onward and upward!

Only thing I can say is... VODKA people, VODKA! Soak em for about an hour, rinse well, let dry. Flavor gone. Seems to work every time. (you can actually let the vodka evap, but I'm not big on that. lol) I do this to EVERY atty or coil I have. Works like a charm.

Does anyone hav a recipe that tastes like Cr3am? I love this juice!

Not one I have done personally, but I found this via Google:


Chocolate (TFA) 4%
Double Chocolate (TFA) 4%
Peppermint (TFA) 1%
Sweet Cream (TFA) 1%
Sweetener (TFA) 3%
Vanilla Custard (TFA) 2%

Seems a little thin at 15%, but then again, I have no idea what Cr3am is, other than poor dyslexic spelling. Is it me, or do the dyslexics all seem to have more fnu?

I start with the big bottle, but never have enough for the tanks. What am I missing?

Bill and I have been playing with this Oreo recipe, I may go at it again this weekend. I still think 1% or Peppermint is too high. Maybe .5% at the most. I'm also going to try added 1-2% Marshmallow just to see how it blends.

Thanks! I'm going to give it a try on my next day off. Cr3am is great with coffee flavors.

Hey Jags, I did post my oreo recipe, and I did not use peppermint. I haven't tried it since I made it, but it was really good right out of the can, I thought. Would have been during the last two weeks. Post 3221:

"Today's recipe is a cheat, but it's really good.

Oreo Cookie

FW Oreo Cookie - 8%
Sweet Cream - 5%
Double Chocolate - 4%
Vanilla Swirl - 4%
Bittersweet Chocolate - 3%
Bavarian Cream - 3%
Sweetener - 3%

I haven't tried to make with just TFA flavors, but I will get to it for you. The problem, though, with TFA is that don't have a cookie, not to mention an oreo cookie flavoring. While the Oreo is a type of chocolate cookie, chocolate doesn't necessarily translate to cookie, so I was stuck. Flavor West makes Oreo Cookie. Flavor Shack makes a cookie flavor that might work too. Anyway, I tried with the double chocolate and bittersweet chocolate to stay in the neighborhood, and then the rest is just sweet vanilla cream. Really a sweet concoction, this one, so flavor and sweeten to taste. Good luck!"

-----

Since the FW flavoring came in, I jumped on it and completed that recipe, though not the TFA full version of it yet. That chocolate cookie is a little tough for me. I haven't found it yet with the TFA, though the FW seemed pretty good as a flavoring for that aspect, and I pounced!

I didn't say what size vessel they had to be soaked in! By all means, take from my experience:

1-Highball glass

4-Cubes of Ice

2-Ounces of Vodka (whatever bottle you've got closest to your lab helps)

Let soak while you empty the first round (because 2oz of Vodka never lasts ME an hour), add 2 more. Consume. Make sure you don't drink the atty/coil. Refer to previous description (at your own risk of course-I'm not responsible if you've consumed the atty/coil )

I couldn't find it when the question came up Jag ;( I did look though LOL
