Could someone else that has TFA Apple make a 100 drop out of this and let me know if you taste NO apple at all please?
Apple - 5%
Bavarian Cream - 4%
Caramel - 5%
Cotton Candy - 1%
Sweetener - 4% (me and my sweet tooth lol)
Vanilla Custard - 4%
I was given LA Apple today, so I used that. Im wondering if its the brand, ya know? But at the current percentage, *I* cannot taste apple. However, word on the street is that the LA Apple may take 24-72 hours to develop.
Another thing I have NOT taken into consideration until this moment is altitude. I'm at about 6,700 ft ASL. That makes a HUGE difference in everything we do in the world of foods.... I'm starting to wonder if it isn't the same with this. I will have to see if any info exists on this!

I've never used the la apple,but i do have tfa apple.It's a funny flavor,i tried it in a few recipes and different %'s,and could not pick up on it,but a few others it's a very strong in your face type flavor haha.I'm guessing it just depends on what it's mixed with,and how those other flavors react with it.Good example of an in your face apple
8% apple
6% menthol
This one has a really strong apple taste to it,so the menthol does something to really bring the apple way out to the front.

Sounds like they ship pretty quick then.Mine will be coming priority 2 day,so i was hoping that it would be here saturday,but i haven't got any notice of being shipped today,so i'm guessing it will probably be monday before i get them,which isn't a big deal,i'm just really impatient haha.
See, thats what I am thinking.... that its just the brand. I'm also realizing that there is WAY too much BC in there. Now that I've let it sit in the atty a few moments (airing out while I fed the troops), THAT is what I am tasting-then the caramel....but no fruit AT ALL. I suppose I will let it steep for the night and try it again tomorrow. But I am still curious if having the TFA Apple would be immediate in the flavor or if it's just an apple thing. Even in candy, I've never used apple-so I'm not at all sure what to expect from it.
hahaha, for sure!
I've a rule when it comes to shipping now that I'm in the middle of the country:
Never order anything from either coast past Tuesday-because more likely than not, you wont see it until the NEXT Monday.
To keep TFA apple as a subtle note, keep the percentage south of 10%. If you really want to taste the apple, you need to go north of 10%. Haven't tried the LA Apple.
10-4! I'm thinking it may be the same here. I'll give it 24 hours and see what I come up with on "this" batch. I'll brew up another 100 dropper with less BC and maybe 10% LA-Apple and see what I come up with. Sometimes I can't tell if it's just me or not LOL
Just wondering how. Trying to learn because I've never heard of this.

Seems that (what we call "at altitude"-anything above 5k ft) you tend to have to adjust food flavorings. Not a bunch, but enough. Perhaps you need more salt in one dish, but less in another. Same with sugar. When baking, you tend to have to adjust liquid and flour amounts-because water evaporates at a completely different rate at altitude than at sea level to about 5k ft above. I love going back home to 195 ft. ASL and I can boil water in like 5 minutes for pasta. When at home, its a good 10-15 minute ordeal LOL
Since what we are doing is heating something up to create vapor (read: boiling water-kinna sorta), it occurred to me that flavors may vape a bit differently as well. Up here in the clouds, we may have to heat things just a weeeeeeeee bit more to create the same vapor that y'all get below. Thereby affecting the flavor-because it has to get hotter to vape. Again, it's simply an idea-I've no hard facts at this point.
That is why you may see me toss a recipe out to see if someone else gets the same taste or lack of, that I do. I just can't tell if it's me or not. My concern is, I go back home with a bottle of something and gag on it because its too blasted sweet or flavorful LOL! A lot of people would want to try my juice then, NOT!
So I vaped this only a couple of hours after mixing and it's quite nice.I made up a small 10ml bottle of Bill's pink starburst this morning before heading to the office.can't wait to try it
As I am oft wont to do, I tasted the liquid and I think I may have over-sweetened it. I don't have cotton candy but I do have EM solution (10% in pg) and boy is it sweet! I think my solution is way stronger than the tfa flavor concentrate but I won't know until I rewick my atty...
Not overly sweet as I first thought. The tart is coming to the forefront.I would prefer a bit more strawberry and slightly heavier vape but I'll have to see if it mellows out after some steepingif it doesn't change I think a small tweak (+1% strawberry, +1% strawberry ripe, and +1% sweet cream and +.5% tfa sweetener) would do it for me.

Oh wow, thanks for explaining! I had no idea and I've just started into diy. Well, not even really started because I haven't received my flavoring yet. I have never even tried this and I ordered over $300 of flavoring. That was probably dumb. Lol

Nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I think if you ask around, you'll find you aren't the only one! And we are ALL here to help. Asking questions = learning - so no worries, ask away! In the first month, I spent something like $400 on vape stuffs. So ya, don't feel bad at all lol
Have you any recipe ideas that you think you'd like to create?
Thanks! I don't feel like a dummy now. Lol
I'm looking to make a cinnamon Danish with frosting, a strawberry vanilla custard and a pumpkin spice latte sort of deal.

I don't even WANT to know how much I have invested in my diy venture and I'm not done yet.
But thanks to all of y'all I am vaping quite a few really good flavors.- Status
