The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

Truth be told, the darker flavorings are harder to measure in a syringe, and they seem to gunk up the wick/coil a little bit faster. Other than that, there really is no difference to me.

 

[AndriaD]

That's true Bill, they gunk something awful; my smocha is still on the dark side with the coffees and TA in there, but without the dark dbl choc, it's more of a caramel color; the tankful I've been vaping seems to still be doing well, no further darkening in 48 hrs, so I think it's not gunking nearly as badly, without that dark choc (I don't vape that continuously, mainly just after meals, so a tankful lasts a while).

Just an update for everyone who very kindly sent their good wishes -- my stepfather's surgery was yesterday, and he came thru it very well; when I talked to my mom last night, she said he was mostly just sleeping for most of the day, but he did wake a few times, and once said he was hungry, though of course he's very limited in what he can have right now. But so far, so good! My mom is pretty exhausted (she has a buttload of her own health issues), but naturally the relief is just tremendous. Thanks to everyone for your good wishes and prayers; I know he's had a lot of those aimed at him this week, and it seems they were effective.

Hey, 1954 was a very excellent year for birthing.

1953 was a good year too....

I was thinking of going to 4oz till I figured out how much that can make lol I am old and do not go through much more than 1 ml a day so um er I changed my mind for me to play DIY I need to get tiny amounts lol But I do love adapting Bill's recipes to my percentages or even to other brands

I used to vape just a couple of ml per day but after I got my REO I vape about 10 ml of DIY Goose Juice a day. I make 2 120 ml bottles at a time.

Is TFA Ripe Banana mix supposed to be cloudy? I mixed 10% flv and 30pg 70 vg. I mixed it in an old Boba's Bounty bottle (plastic). It looks like watered down milk. If I am not supposed to mix in plastic bottle I guess that means I cannot use it in my REO?

I put it in my brand new Reo, within four hours I was having trouble sqonking it and saw that the end of the tube was against the bottom of the bottle so I cut it off at an angle. It was thick VG and I didn't wipe the tube off so I didn't see what was happening yet. The next day I had trouble sqonking it again and when I look at the bottle the tube is way too long and the end is half way up the bottle. The Ripe Banana had swelled the silicone tube like an over cooked macaroni. I cracked 3 TGT tanks in a week too with it. I'm almost afraid to vape it, I have dentures..

I've had much better luck with the bananas foster, and have not had the same kind of issues with it. My Monkey Business juice is one of the more popular ones I'm told, and uses the Bananas Foster. Good luck!

Just a recommendation for those of us in the frozen north (Canada). If you are looking to order anything more 30ml bottle (and possibly even then) I would suggest ordering straight from TFA. The pricing, even with US exchange and shipping, blows the Canadian suppliers out of the water. The last order I made was a 1/3 of the price I would have paid for similar quantities in Canada. It was shipped UPS and I didn't have to pay anything extra when it arrived 5 days later. Going for a bulk account is another thing you can do to save money.

I also have Bananas Foster and have had no problems with it, I'm thinking how I can use the ripe stuff as it is really "real" tasting but even in low amounts I had problems with it. BTW mine is as clear as water, still in the TPA hard plastic bottle.

Has anyone used graham cracker or graham clear as a primary flavor in a mix? I'm wanting to make a graham cracker vape. Nothing fancy or complex, just the taste of real graham crackers. Wondering which of the two flavors would work best for this type of recipe

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Are there a lot of flavors, or at least some, in Bulk section that aren't listed in the regular section?

I see people often mention TFA black walnut, butter pecan, butter rum, and a few others on this and other forums. I know Wizard Labs has those in Lorann, so sometimes people may be confused, but I see some pros mention these sometimes too and doubt they'd get confused on such things, so it's had me curious for a while now.

I need to make a bottle of what I call "Peanut Brittle"
6% TPA Peanut Butter
6% TPA RY4 Double
1% TPA Sweetener

Last night I transferred this into my Aqua as it has become one of my ADV! I'm getting ready to take my daughter on a overnight fishing trip and because I only made a 10ml bottle I need to make a 30ml before we leave

You can find 10ml bottles of the flavors you mentioned at Bull City Vapor - Best Prices on DIY e-liquid Supplies
I like to order the smaller smaller bottles first before ordering larger bottles.

But then I can't purchase small bottles too, correct? Like 4ml and 15ml?

Nope, none of the flavors I mention are available there or anywhere else that sells TFA, that's why I asked here about maybe being only bulk offerings.

This is not my recipe. I found this one on e-liquid calc site. I wanted to try.....


Graham Cracker by Jason

Cinnamon Sugar Cookie (TPA) 4%
Graham Cracker (Clear) (TPA) 5%
Sweet Cream (TPA) 3%

Then they are using FA or FW flavorings if TPA doesn't offer. I know I love FW Butter Pecan.

These are pro mixers, like Bill for example, and they specify TFA, so doubt they meant other brands.

I am aware other brands offer the flavor names I mentioned, but am asking if they are available from TFA bulk or not. If not, then maybe these pros (And not just one user) are mistakenly saying TFA over and over again in many threads/recipes? That doesn't seem like it would be the case.

I like FW butter pecan too!

You can still order small bottles when you have a bulk account.

I checked on the TFA website and none of those are available in bulk either. Perhaps there was a name change or the flavor was dropped. Were the posts you read about those flavors old?
