The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[capthook]

I won't belabor the diketones discussion as there are other threads dedicated to the issue,
and from the relative lack of interest, it doesn't appear to be a major issue for many.
So just a few thoughts then done.
Having smoked 1.5 PAD for 30 years, the harm reduction with vaping should be significant.
For me, I wish to attempt to further reduce that by avoiding D/A/AP.
I spent many, many hours looking into diketones. It's what has led me to DIY, and in particular, TFA and FA.
Their work on this issue deserves high praise and is a valuable resource for those interested.
IMO, it's the lack of transparency by ~99% of vendors on diketones that will be the road the FDA follows for inevitable regulation (ie. taxation ha)

"tootle puffers" came from the itty bitty mods thread. The sub ohmers looking for 100watt + mods to run high wattage for clouds and such called those of us who run low watts (10-15 or less), using toppers like protanks, T3s, non-sub ohm tanks (including Kayfuns and the like building around 2 ohm coils) looking for small size and battery life only "low wattage tight draw tootle puffers". It was funny and we just adapted it. Some of us like a more airy draw....

I love to 'tootle' my Kayfun V4 with 28g, 2.4mm id, 11 wraps, 2.0 ohm, JOC at 9 watts and 1/2 air!

So placed my BCV order!!
Got the 120ml 100mg nic from them, about the same cost as paying shipping from elsewhere.
They were out of lots of items, so getting the rest from Wizard Labs (who btw say they are way behind in shipping orders out)
Thanks for the help in getting my order together!

Diketones, schmiketones.. If Im gonna go, let it be by butter popcorn flavor anyday! It still beats all the crap in cigs, and all the other substances Ive ingested over the years.. Besides, Im sure the tap water out here in Coachella is just as bad for you, but I still keep drinking my 8 glasses a day (only cause I always forget to fill the Brita filter haha)..

Anyone have or try gingerbread lately? How is it ? Thinking it's possibly the missing ingredient in my pumpkin roll....checking here for opinions before I go and order some soon anyway, lol. It's good so far, but missing a note, I have a hunch gingerbread could very well be It...

Tfa has done a nice job with transparency and all the dx versions that came out, they sure seem to be selling well. I still am hoping for dx butterscotch too someday....if possible

Capthook, I have had to split orders between wl and bcv too, and yeah, saw wl delay notice this am, wow, never seen that before, guess diy popularity growing more and more...cool

b.m. at you talking about a certain affordable vendor's cheesecake juices?...I get more cap vc 2 then cheesecake from my raspberry and "blue one", or am I nuts? I get a lot of cap flavor notes in them there juices if I am thinking "certain vendor that I know you like" correctly. I am not fond of cap vc 2, but some love it.

+1. What about FA butterscotch? Should be 'DX' style? ?

Tried it once, May revisit someday, it didn't have much initial impression on me, fell flat or something, sort of "meh"..could have been one of my first mixes, so could have even been an error on my part, but if tfa could dx butterscotch as good as they did the others though....

Borrow anything you want its all about sharing and I hope it works for you.. I too don't want that "ashy" taste but I have found out I like the "leafy pipe " taste..I have thought about a little experiment myself with like peach and cherry tobacco I have another little funny story.. reading these threads ( im on page 485) I had a friend come into work.. he had a juice from a shop... " Dude , this stuff is awesome" .. I vaped it for about 10 minutes.. I was like ..ok.. I very taste lite cinnamon, creamy kinda bakery , a little banana..is that waffle also ? .. so that night I went home .. didn't even do 100DT .. made a 10ml bottle of what I thought it would taste like.. Brought it to work the next day.. new cotton and clean tank.. filled it.. have it to my buddy.. he tasted it.. BAM!!!!! I was so close to the original I even surprised myself.. matter a fact.. it was better .. the guys loved it.. will be playing with it a little this weekend.. Bill has rubbed off on me.. it was good.. I want it to be great.. thank you guys for all the info yall post.. here it is.. now this is just a thing I threw together.. but you can play around with it..

Bill or anybody. The Butterfinger recepie. Do you use caramel flavor or caramel original?
Trying to get some supplies ordered tonight.
You all must be ordering from wizard labs because they are backed up with orders.

My bottle just says caramel.

Here's one I've been working on for some time, like 8 or 9 iterations. Came out good though.

Chocolate Eclair

milk chocolate 5%
dbl dark chocolate 3%
Bavarian cream 8%
Belgian waffle 7%
sweet cream 3%
vanilla swirl 2%
EM 2%

All TFA, 30/70 PG/VG, 2 nic

As always you may need to tweak for your own taste (my wife likes an earlier version with 2% dbl dark and 8% waffle better - everybody's a critic ) but for me this one's perfect.

It was good but now I think it could be better; Ok now I have to order Caramel. btw Bill I do like the way the Milk and Dark Chocolate work together in the recipe.

Yes I do Dave. Sometimes I use three different chocolates. Varying the percentages of two or more chocolates is what allows us to create the wide range of chocolate flavorings that we see in so many recipes. I do not recommend chocolate without them, AND vanilla too, by the way. Good luck!
