The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[renilyn]

I'll share something I've been working on, a french toast vape (with strawberries and whipped cream ideally, but... not quite).

I've got two versions I liked initially, and I made these late last night in quite the "100 drop fervor". They're not perfect, but here's the 2nd latest, the sweetest most rich of the group:

Strawberry 6%
Cinnamon Danish 2%
Vanilla Custard 5%
Honey 1%
Whipped Cream 3%
Bavarian Cream 3%

I know you don't have Strawberry, but it was almost imperceptible in the mix. If you have any fruits that could conceivably go with french toast, give it a shot. Or try it solo! I need to double-check your Danish recipe, hopefully this isn't too similar... That said, it was kind of leaning towards cinnamon roll at this point. I only tasted it freshly after the 100 drops, so maybe I'll try it again and gag, and redact this post. The recipe looks cream-heavy, but didn't seem that way. I'm not sure why.

The latest version that I also liked simply upped the Strawberry to 10%, and Whipped Cream to 5%. Unfortunately, I threw in 2 drops of cotton candy and retasted (102 drops, oh my!), and the gooey breadiness completely went away, it was super weird. Again, I haven't tasted any of these since the 100 drops, so I should shut up and go do that This was my 5th 100 drop test for this recipe, by the way. I don't enough eat desserts to know my way around a Danish, so this will have to be my contribution to Danish fest.

I'm just lazy now because I broke my Fogger's tank cleaning it, and I'm operating from a single dripper ATM. Too much rewicking!

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..... I just realized I didn't have honey-suggestions?

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..... I just realized I didn't have honey-suggestions?

Hmm, I wouldn't have put it in the recipe if I didn't add a bit of honey to the egg-milk mix for actual French Toast (that is, plenty of people make french toast without it. I'm sure there's some way around adding it...). Honestly, I haven't tasted most of my latest round of flavors solo, so I can't say what honey adds. I've been lazy lately, so I should mix up a batch without the honey and see what happens. I wonder if sweetener, plus something "dark" tasting would do the trick?

I didn't mean to post a teaser recipe, honest!!

ETA: And I found cotton candy to totally wreck the latest version,with 10% Strawberry and 5% whipped cream. So maybe trying it without honey, and without anything else would be OK? It's only a 20% mix, so there's plenty of room to play around, but I haven't figured out what could be upped/added (besides more Strawberry/Fruit) to raise the flavor %. Not that it has to be raised, but it's definitely not perfect yet.

Snake oil recipe in my notebook, from here or reddit, all tfa flavors, for Monica, adjust as needed

8% pear
5% Bav. Cream
1.5% coconut extra

Creamer version someone came up with is
5% pear
8% Bav. Cream
1% coconut extra

I like to use other fruits in place of pear also, and adjust % for my taste, I like the first recipe more, but that is just me.

My Danish/donut mix

3.5% waffle
3.5% frost. Donut
2% Brown sugar extra
1% butter
2% sweet cream
4% van. Cust.

Decreased frosted donut to 1% too, lost pastry aspects, more custardy blend, and the other is pretty sweet... I used ren' s recipe/parts of it

Has anyone tried the rainbow sherbert yet?

Are you vaping on the danish now and if so-whatcha think I think I'm going to mix yours up right now and then vape on it tonight before I settle down. Pear pear pear, everyone has pear!UGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! lol

Try TFA Sweetener instead of cotton candy.

Ok, made this one a few ago, however had a blonde moment.Pulled Vanilla Swirl instead of VC, so I added 4% VS and then noticed my ut oh... I then added 1.5% VC so I could get the custard in there. I took a few drops worth in the bridgeless atty and decided it wasn't sweet enough yet lol The rest of the flavor was SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH. I seem to have a bit of trouble in ANY of these to taste "bread"... which I think we've determined is "ok". I then just dropped 3.5% (I'm guessing at the .5%-as I had a bubble with some in it at the end there lol) Cream Cheese Icing. So we shall see later what it's like.

Trying to grill some cheddar brats that my FIL brought home..... WITHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Pretzel Buns! Woohooooo! BBIAF to catch up. Let me know what you think...

Whew! I finally had caught up with this thread then found I couldn't post till I had posted 5 times in the new member area.

I have gotten SO much info from this thread it's really helping me to understand the juice a little better. Thanks to all for that!

I want to try to contribute but will probably only have questions

I did make one on my own but it needs some work and I haven't been able to get back to it but here it is.

Black Cherry Cream

Black Cherry 3%

Blueberry 5%

Vanilla Cupcake 2%

Sweet Cream 2%

I think it needs more creams it was a teeny bit harsh out the gate but I could taste the blueberry and black cherry even with the black cherry a little strong. It had a little less black cherry after a few days. Hubby is trying it out now to see what he thinks.

Might benefit from 4-5% vanilla swirl and 4-5% sweet cream. Can also try with Bavarian cream, or even French vanilla cream. Also, it likely needs sweetener or cotton candy. I would think you might want to be about 10-12% fruits and 12-15% creams, vanilla and sweetener. Good luck!

Out and about for three more hours... But thus far, the mod looks nice!

How very nice. I've seen these alcohol inks before. They are quite amazing! Great job!

Sorry to hear about the CC ruining your mix. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Haha,yeah that sounds a bit better,thought maybe you were one of those wierd type haha.I'm glad you posted that tonight though,as i am planning on making a honey tobacco,and really dont want anything to do with any urine taste of any kind haha.Think i'll start it at 1% and work from there just to be on the safe side.

LOL Ya, good thing!

I am glad though, because that'd probably turn me off vaping for a WHILE

Been vaping it for about an hour now. I likes! Just for the heck of it, I added (freehand) 8 drops of Cinnamon Danish. Can't even taste it. Probably wont bother using that if I remix. But I am pondering using blueberry cream...

EDIT:

So, forward about 2 hours since last post. I can taste the cinnamon a bit, but I'm also getting a WEEEEE bit of purfumey. Mind, this was left in my Mini ProTank3 in this time, so it is exposed. I'll update via this post the next time I vape it (I'm one of those non sleepin' types )
