The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[AndriaD]

Well it occurs to me that maybe I should change the name of this particular juice, from "Smoky Cappucino", to "Smocha." I guess it really is a mocha sort of flavor, but with that smokiness. It reminds me of the "old days," walking into a diner, smelling the coffee and cigarettes and whatever goodies they had under those glass-domed cake plates on the counters, and then sitting down and ordering a cup of cocoa to go with your cigarette.

When using the 100DT method what Qty in mls do you end up with? I just tested my last one and I got so close to 3ml I had a "hey that's cool" moment.

I get about 2.5 - 3.0 mils too! Yes, a nice tank full for flavor taste testing! Good luck!

Might depend on "drop size" 20 drops/ml - 40 drops/ml? My droppers in my glass bottles let loose a larger drop (fewer drops/ml) than my pipettes (closer to 40 drops/ml)

IDK.... But, it *IS* the perfect tank size, right?

With help like you and others give here there's no luck involved

So I'm working on a chocolate Orange which I loaded into my Aqua to better test it. After a little while I find myself sitting down with a glass of milk guess I'm getting close.

Been vaping Bill's Fudge Brownie Sundae all afternoon. Very yummy. I love the really creamy feel of that one.

Thanks, Bill!

Well, I've been absent from the ECF revels all evening; my stepfather had to go to the emergency room late this afternoon, and by the time my husband and I got up to their house, my mom had heard that he had suffered a major heart attack (she's in a wheelchair, their neighbor took him to the hospital, and his wife stayed with my mom till I got there). He's got a triple blockage; Monday morning he will be undergoing open-heart surgery, for a triple bypass. I'll be going back to be with my mom again tomorrow, and my husband to the hospital to be with my stepfather, so my aunt can have a break. But I'm taking my new laptop with me tomorrow!!!

Thanks y'all. Hopefully I can get my cablemodem to function up there, they have comcast too, but a stupid AT&T ADSL internet thing, no way I'm gonna try to use 1.5m'bits when I'm used to 50ish, so I'm hoping that just plugging their cable into my cablemodem will be sufficient, it's got wi-fi and of course my laptop does, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I need SOMETHING to do when I'm not playing Stepin Fetchit for my mom! Thankfully we were able to talk her out of going up to the hospital tonight, she was so upset, and that's the last thing my stepfather needs right now. My husband said he was resting quietly when he left the hospital. My aunt is staying with my mom tonight, then us tomorrow night, and my aunt again sunday night after she sees my stepfather off in the medical transport (he's in their local hospital right now), so they can go down to St Joe's Monday morning. Thankfully that hospital is THE pre-eminent cardiac care hospital in the area. Fingers crossed, toes too...

Well, I'm at my mom's now, and my xfinity cablemodem works as well with their comcast cable as with my own. Really appreciate all the kind msgs, y'all. My husband said that my stepfather's color is much better today, and he feels a little better, so resting calmly in the CCU overnight evidently did him some good, which is good news for his overall health with such major surgery impending. Guess it's going about as well as we could hope for, right now.

Thx y'all!

Good luck to him. My father in law had quadruple bypass about 20 years ago and is still going strong at 80. Make sure he does the rehab. My FiL still goes to rehab as an exercise routine and they have nurses on staff to keep an eye on them.

Alright well I couldn't resist messing with it. Had to pull out the stuff to do some more 100DT's.

Not sure it would even really be fair to call this a Pecan Pie recipe -- real Pecan Pie made here in the South is very, very sweet. I just don't know if there is a way to pull that off without artificial sweeteners or PFM (pure freakin' magic).

I won't even pretend to call this an improvement to Bill's original recipe -- it's just different -- a n00b's try at a non-sucralose version of it. All credit and thanks belong squarely to Bill's Magic Vapor.

I've not steeped this yet. It's my 5th 100 drop test working on it and vapes well.

You might want to try a 100DT of this yourself before you mix up any significant quantity of the ingredients, and see what you think.

Pecan 5%
Graham Cracker 5%
Vanilla Swirl 4%
Pie Crust 3%
Brown Sugar 2%
Vanilla Bourbon 2%
Butter 1%

It could stand to be a little sweeter yet, but I don't know how to do that without adding artificial sweeteners. (and if I liked artificial sweeteners I wouldn't be messing with this great recipe in the first place!!!)

Nic have you tried marshmallow as a sweetener?
