The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[renilyn]

By the way, the provari p3 was just released today. Got word from cloud 9 (uk). Will probably wait to see who in u.s. Has it first. Sorry, off-topic. I will be buying one this week from somebody! :d

if anyone knows a good u.s. Vendor, kindly let me know! :d

I mix my juices to work for me. Always wonderful when others like them, but I use a Taifun GT, pretty much a better Kayfun RTA, with better vapor, flavor and ease of filling. YMMV. I rarely use RDA drippers, and I would certainly change my mixes if I was doing so. The additional heat affects the flavor, vapor, nicotine, and throat hit, all in different ways, depending upon device, chamber size, air flow controls, wicking, etc. That's pretty much why we have to make our own....DIY, to tailor it to your uses.

You almost have to throw out all rules of thumb to get the juice to work with your specific gear. Melons are not fruit......to me, LOL. I like my citrus....those are fruits....to me. As such, I have no suggestions about how to make them good. Is that even possible?

Fruits require creams, vanillas and sweeteners to bring out their full flavoring, and to dampen the chemical/floral flavorings. These supporting flavors, each at 6% or less, will not dominate the flavor mix, but will enhance and cause the fruits to pop, and not disappear over time....quite the opposite. That has been my experience. Of course, I'm not talking about melons. No idea how to get them to work, as they are a different flavoring branch entirely from my precious citrus flavors.

Before anyone jumps me, I am jesting about the melons not being fruits. Certainly they are. I was not jesting about not liking them, and I would never, never, never vape them......until I do!

I have a few blogs about how to mix fruits with supporting flavors that can help you make great juice. It's not that hard. As always, taste is subjective, so my ideas need to be adjusted to work with your taste sensibilities, that's what being a good juice maker is all about. Live and learn.

Did someone force feed you melon as a child? LOL My Eleanor vape is sad for you!

I actually started DIY more because delivery time for my advs were kind of long so I'd order large batches from Yaeliq ($18 for 100ml isn't bad).

I wasn't satisfied with any of the other comparatively priced liquids. When I started I thought I could adjust some of the premades before thinking that making one up specifically to my liking was better.

I still order mother's milkshake from Yaeliq though... just to get me through until I find something I want to vape most of the time.

I'm so close to it with bills starburst and my melona and banana creme.

I second Ren's droooooool.

Can you share the number for that "someone"? Thanks!

*goes back to flav corner*

The fact is, I haven't gone a single week without an order. Problem, possibly! Wanna hear a real issue?

I'm driving back home to CA soon. I've sat in contemplative mode for the last 3 days-do I take my whole set up (it is portable ya know!), do I not? Do I just take what I *might* need? WHAT might I need?!?!?!? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

ooops, sorry!

Look at it this way... if it's portable, it's probably just easiest to grab the whole thing, rather than pick and pull whatever you might need...

Just food for thought

If someone (other than me) would volunteer to be spokesperson for the next Vapathon, I would love to get started this weekend on some things. My vote is for milkshakes, and I've heard many of you say the same. So, Ren, Mom, Debi, someone, anyone, please step up (forgive me if I didn't mention anyone by name). I'm ready to rock and roll. I can't wait to kill it ! Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry milkshakes! Caramel, fruits, candy flavorings.....betcha there's a whole lotta goodness waiting for us. I'm ordering the big bottle of vanilla ice cream tonight! Wait, the 4 ounce is $10......that's sounds better than $22....oopsy.

I think this will work best if we alternate some leadership roles on the Vapathon, so I'm officially retired. I know we came up with a lot of great ideas on the Danish. I don't have a single milk shake recipe, and the more I think about it, the more I feel wanting/lacking. Let's get on this. Ya'll figure this out and let's go! Ciao!

DANG! Can I put in for another one? I'd love to, but i'm trying to plan this trip, then the 20whatever hours on the road and and and and .... I will participate as much as possible. But I don't want to agree to the above and then poop out

I seem to have that same problem.Several months ago,i did have 2 seperate weeks where i did not order flavors,as i wanted to buy a few new attie's,i started going through no new flavor withdrawal haha,it really hit me that 2nd week.I have made it a point to order at least a few flavors every single week since then,and now that i've started getting some of my main go to's in the 4oz. it will open up whole new options for more new trial flavors,it just never ends haha.I got a bit too happy and put in 2 tfa orders last week,and just put in another this morning.

Oh my gosh, if I were planning a trip, especially driving, I would take all my stuff. One of those little overnight suitcases with a few bags inside containing already coiled and wicked toppers. All my APV including a few Spinners. Another bag containing all coil building materials. I would take it all. I would not be able to stand having left something at home. Unless you are talking about liquid. I would only take a minimum of liquid. So many vape places in Ca.

That's what's great about this box... ALL that can go in it!

As far as buying juice there.... prolly wont. Rather spend monies on something exciting hehe Like a new puppy! JUST KIDDING!

My B&M has over 90 flavors. No matter how hard I try my car just goes on auto pilot and pulls in there nothing I can do about it.

Interested why single flavors won't work.

I'm in the middle of testing all my flavors solo, and Bill is 95% right.
That means I did find a few that I liked solo.
Everyone's taste vary as we know, but I found 2% Tiramisu, 1-2% Peppermint, 7% Mocha, 5% Horchata, 6% Hawaiian Punch, and 18% Banana Cream, to all be good solo (so far) ... the list of "don't like solo" is longer.
I also liked Caramel Cappuccino at 1-2 DROPS per 10 ml to be good .. it's better with some sweetener, and a cream added, but it's also just plain good on it's own to me, but needs some steep time.
I've only tried about 50% of my flavorings solo so far, so there may be more, but they are far and few between when used solo.
I'm testing each one for strength, sweetness, and what it will contribute to a recipe.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a few that were good on their own ... great for a fast mix and go.

This is how I roll chanelvaps...I just had a business trip for a week and I took (2) gallon zip lock bags..one with mods/drippers/clearos and the other bag with Cotton, Rayon, wick, kanthal, ohm meter, torch lighter and juice.

I guess I should have waited on the 2.5 dragon but I'd still have a hard time dropping $280 on a mod of any kind.

On a side note, since I started DIYing I cut my nic down in half from 12 to 6mg and I can't vape my left over 12mgs at all. Just to much for me. I used to love it!

I made Bills Twinkie #2 today and at first all I could taste was the butter from the sweet cream but it's better with a little time under its belt. I think for me I need to cut back on the sweet cream about 2%

Ya, I gotta vape my *other* 12mg into cloud heaven. I don't have much left, but after getting the Russian, ya, vaping more juice, don't think smoking two packs a day (only did this rarely-but boyyyyyyyyyyy could I feel it when I did) had THAT much nic in it lol

Stuff I'm DIYing now has anywhere between 8mg and 3mg....depending on the flavoring. I bought a huge bottle of PG/VG mix w/nic already in it when I started (didn't know better and/or thought it'd make it easier). It's not, I advise against it! But, I want to use it up before I tap into much else around here.
