The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

Those coils look pretty nice.
Would be neat to have more usable options for inside diameter of the coil though. The other size mandrels that come with the Artistic Wire gizmo wouldn't be really useful for vaping coils.

Have you checked these out ??
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10012175/2066300-kuro-koiler-wire-coiling-tool-3-piece-set
They are 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm
You can buy just one (any size), or get the 3 pack of all 3 sizes.
I wouldn't go over 3.0mm when building .. but that's just me
There's a video out there somewhere, showing how you can use them ... super simple
They also can handle "twisted" wires, and on the thinner wires, you can put two together, and they come out "twisted" right in the gizmo.
Worth a peek

Thank bill I follow your blogs and I am impressed with how everyone interacts with support and respect of each other's taste sensibilities. This thread is my go to for ideas... Also I've had best results with TFA HFM. the old mix and wait a month was more frustrating than a pervert with palsy trying to draw a sexy picture on an etch a sketch.. Thanks you all

Should I pick up just a cheap dripper and swap out the cotton each time?

No need to swap out the wick between flavors.
Just drop a few unflavored drops in, vape them, and the previous flavor will be gone

Not sure about licorice

I prefer the cherry extract or the black cherry, myself.

Have you tried flavor % adjustments or combining different Cherry flavors?

I cannot speak to Cherry specifically, but many fruit flavors work best when combined - i.e. Blueberry Extra/Blueberry candy

 

[Joie]

no just added the Marachino cherry with the gummy and way too cough syrupy to me.
gonna have to try a gummy something else......lol

maybe gummy would be good solo

The maraschino cherry is too strong for me at any percentage. Compared to similar percentages of other flavorings, it's simply off the chart super strong. I had much better luck with the cherry extract, and that at very low percentages. Very different indeed. Crxess point about combining similar flavors to make a more cohesive mix/blend has worked well for me too.

Good luck!

Yeah,when i first seen your startburst recipe,i wanted a cherry startburst and tried it with the maraschino cherry,that was the worst thing i've ever tasted haha,it tasted like a bottle of robitusin haha.I actually forgot about that recipe until now,i ordered the cherry extract right after that first disaster,and forgot i even had it until this came up.Now i need to retry that cherry starburst and see if i can get something vapable this time haha.

 

[Joie]

yeah this cherry is going to the back of the cupboard.....blah !!!!!

That one was from a different company inawera. I didn't see one for tfa , for them I would have tried the cherry extract or added more sweetener.
