Yummmm!! I haven't even attempted a butterscotch flavor yet, but this looks delicious! I'll have to order a few flavors for this, but I'm definitely adding this to my list of 'must try's... Thanks for sharing this one, Mom!

Hey guys , I am going to attempt a little cubano and mild black .. Want to make a little cigar for a good friend of mine .. Anybody ever used these .. What percentage you think I should start at ? I plan on using some vanillas and creams to round it off .. Maybe even a little peach .. I know that tab's are difficult ..
Ooooh! I have all those flavors. I'm putting this recipe on my "to do" list for this weekend.
Thanks for sharing your recipe, baseballmom.

Thanks for that!Anyone thinking about getting citric acid can get it here for about $3 shipped with discount codes posted on the site. I just got one ordered and they take paypal. Normal price is only $3.42 w/ free shipping.
Thanks go out to DarthEmma for pointing this brand out in a previous post!!
Citric Acid Powder
Just ordered...was looking elsewhere but I was wondering what I was going to do with 2 pounds
Looked so good I had to mix up a batch! I had to use Fa Butterscotch and Graham Cracker Dark as I just couldn't wait. ATM Very nice! Thanks for the recipe
I am interested in this ? I have tried to make some variation of something like this but never quite get
Ok, here's the latest recipe, using the malted milk rather than sweet cream:
Inawera Cappucino 2%
Inawera Coffee tobacco 2.50%
Inawera Virginia tobacco Absolute 2.50%
CAP Hazelnut v2 2%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 2%
TFA Milk Chocolate 3%
TFA Dbl Chocolate-Dark 2%
TFA Malted Milk 6%
TFA Sweetener 1%
I also add 7% Mothersmilk WTA, which may contribute somewhat to the smokiness; mothersmilkwta is a little more "tobacco-ish" than other WTA, so it might be necessary to nudge the tobacco absolute and coffee tobacco flavorings, and possibly also the hazelnut, just a smidge, to keep the smokiness. Careful with the absolute though, or it may wind up something like "mocha ashtray."
And you may not even need that 1% sweetener; I use it because I dislike unsweetened coffee, but the vanilla swirl, the chocolates, and the malted milk are fairly sweet in their own right.Andria
Loranns may have other great flavors, but the Lemonade is the only one I use from them. I ordered it to try way back when I was in search for my perfect lemonade vape, it just so happened to fit the bill perfectly(and without adding anything else to it)
I am completely happy with TFA for all my other flavors though.
Awesome, I'll definitely pick up a bit of their lemonade and give it a shot. I agree with your take on TFA though... it has definitely allowed me to step up my game in juice creation. Of course, this thread has played a rather large hand in that step as well! Awesome people here in this community!
So is AP in the Graham Cracker? and I mean acetyl pyrazine?
According to the ingredient list at TFA, it doesn't appear to. It does have Acetoin & Acetylpropionyl.
Two cents. I have found the Flavor West Lemonade to be slightly better than the LorAnn's, but I've made great lemonade with both of them.

I will have to try some of their flavors eventually. I was going to try the FW Lemonade if the Loranns Lemonade didn't turn out how I wanted it, but I fell in love with the Loranns and never ordered FW.
Lemonade is one of my favorite flavors still to this date, but due to it's acidity I can only vape it for a few hours at a time (any highly acidic flavor will slowly give me a sore throat, no matter how much water I drink.)
I mostly vape only fruit flavors, lately tho I am starting to crave more cake/bakery vapes. I think a big bottle of FW yellow cake will be getting ordered soon. Any other real good cake type base flavorings I should consider?

I hear you! We're all good! When I decided to go outside of TFA for lemonade, after trying malic acid, sour, etc. with TFA, I chose both LorAnn's and Flavor West to try initially. They are very close. I made the LorAnn's and thought, WOW, this is it. Then I made the Flavor West, and thought it was even better. But, taste is subjective. Perhaps the LA is better than the FW for you. The only reason I put in my two cents was to open the door to multiple possibilities about making this flavoring. Unfortunately, I could never find the sour bite that is lemonade, no matter what I added to the TFA flavorings. Like you, I too love lemonade vapes, and worked diligently on this until I found the best lemonade FOR ME. I do know how good the LA was, as well, and it's great. So, I'm really just adding to your most excellent suggestions on this juice, and hope others can share their experiences as well.....a sort of Lemonade Vapathon, if you will!
I truly hope we can encourage our many juice makers here to try these flavorings and share with the community on LEMONADE, with or without TFA flavorings! I will be grateful. Hard to beat an ice-cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day!

While this recipe was inspired by others and has a non TFA ingredient, I tweaked it a little and it tastes amazing!
12% One Stop DIY Blue Raspberry Slush
3% TFA Blueberry
3% TFA Cranberry
0.5-1.5% Sour
Today my first DIY order came in and thats my first true "winner". Most are still really good but that one stands out as a clean amd crisp, sweet and tart, blue raspberry flavor Great outta just being shake then vaped, amazing after 3 hours in the ultrasonic cleaner
Edit: On that note since it seems to be the flavor of discussion Im working on a great strawberry lemonade and pink lemonade using TFA flavors and One Stop DIY's Pink Lemonade that are so far great but just need a little more tweaking before Im comfortable.posting a recipe.

I'm interested in cheesecake recipes. The one I tried was kind of collation of several that I looked at; many cheesecake recipes seem to call for marshmallow, which isn't something I really like, or have bothered to order, but I guess if it really adds to a cheesecake, I might get some. I know that my aunt puts marshmallow creme in her fudge, and it is just to-die-for.
I'd particularly like a blueberry or strawberry cheesecake, along with just "plain old cheesecake."
Anyway, now that I'm looking at my recipe, I can see why it's so blah, it's just so little flavoring. but it's been sitting in the cupboard for several weeks, so I should give it another try, maybe the time to sit in the dark has improved it somehow; it wasn't bad, just weak and blah. This was the recipe:
Basic Cheesecake #1
CAP NY Cheesecake 10%
TFA French Vanilla Creme 2%
TFA Sweetener 2%
Since I'm starting to learn a little more about some of the "right" flavors for this, this is how I think I'd try it for a 2nd attempt at a basic cheesecake.
Basic Cheesecake #2 (projected, when I FINALLY get some of the LA Cream Cheese Icing!)
CAP NY Cheesecake 10%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 5%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 3%
TFA Sweetener 2%
LA Cream Cheese Icing 1%
CAP Graham Cracker v2 0.50%
Apologies about some of the flavors being non-TFA; to me it's still a TFA kind of flavor, because the TFA creams and vanillas are so outstanding -- also my diketone-avoidance sometimes means I have to look elsewhere -- but it's great how many DX flavors they're comiing out with now!!! Looking forward to a DX cheesecake from them!
The other night I mentioned apple pie, but I think what I really want is an apple-cinnamon danish; I just got the TFA DX Cinnamon Danish and TFA Apple Pie, so I think that's how I'll do it, along with a little FA Apple, some brown sugar and maybe a light touch of redhot.

Ive tried most of the cheesecake flavorings out there and to me LA makes the best cheesecake flavor. Cheesecake and vanilla custard were the two vapes that got me into DIY and I ordered everyone's. Once I got started mixing juice I quickly got sidetracked from the two because I had soooo many flavors but I do remember that the LA was the closest to cheesecake.
Well that's great to know; I've found a place to get the LA CC icing, for a better price than ECX's, and it's in stock, but the shipping is flat-rate, so I hated to just order one thing -- I'll go ahead and get the LA cheesecake too! I think that CAP cheesecake is a V2, is the main reason I ordered it; CAP seems kinda hit or miss; some flavors are great, some are horrible.

Heartland vapes is good price on LA flavors. I just bought a 4oz bottle of CCI for 7.12. They have the cheesecake also
Thanks! That looks really interesting baseballmom! I have regular marshmallow and the "regular" graham cracker.
may be worth a try with those. I do regret not checking a little deeper before ordering the regular graham cracker now. I had already spent a couple of days looking at recipes to build a "matrix" of what to get - I didn't see or think of graham cracker clear in time.... but I do remember seeing where Bill had mentioned his preference for the clear now.I did get a few more flavors in today. 2 are restocks for things I only bought small samplers of until I had actually tried them.
Ha! I guess there will always be another order to place!
Have a lot of bottle transferring to do. Didn't get too many of the new flavors moved to glass the other night. This week has been pretty busy with work. Glad it's over!
