The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Igor Novak]

Yes i also agree that mix should at least be vapable the moment you mix it. If its flat that's not good, try something else or trow it away.
Yesterday i try mixing technique which came to my mind yesterday.
I set up six flavors which i think would go together and put each in separate bottle. Every bottle container consist of 25 drops of flavor, 5 drops of pg and 70 drops of vg. Shhhaaakkkeee
But ,far as i went to were: 10 drops sweet cream, 5 drops gracham cracker and 5 drops vanilla ice cream and thats it. It vas vapable, but it is boring.
Next i try to add to that mix was brown sugar, toasted marshmallow, french vanilla, caramel candy,i mean by itself, not together. but it was unvapable after that.
If i cant find my Alpha vape-Sweet tooth(which i find extremely interesting and mystery juice) i would probably continue to buy it and smoke it 1ml per day.
By the way did anybody tried Alpha Vape-Sweet tooth, what you think its in there. Every friend that i give it to try said its something different inside.
One even said its cappuccino. While description says: Graham cracker, Vanilla, Cookie.

Please look this video and comment if you want, it is strongly related to mixing e-juice. It starts on 6 minutes.

Good Morning. Easing into second cup of coffee...
Reading Larry and Ivan's posts, I am thinking now my best bet is to look for recipes that look like something I would want to try, or if all else fails, experiment ?
Example- I would like to try something minty, but not menthol. Think Junior mints.
If I do not have a recipe on hand, then maybe just start with 6% Crème de Menthe, 4% Mint Candy, 4% Vanillin, 3% Cotton Candy (EM) and 1% Koolada, and then adjust from there to find whatever flavor I am looking for ?
If that's the case, then some of these "Evil Chemist" cartoons Larry is fond of are starting to make sense....

Gotta be my favorite thread on ECF!
I do a lot of lurking and have learned a ton. So far have 3-4 juices I feel are pretty good. Twinkie is next for sure
Thanks all

I'm very happy with the lemon meringue pie but am thinking about what to make next. The Twinkie sounds good but I'll have to put in another order. I'm still kinda limited on flavors and am wondering if there's something else I can do with what I have. My orange recipe is coming along but not quite there. I mixed up a new batch and added some sour so I'll try that later.

By jove you're catching on....

All of the recipes are a good base, seeing as we all like more or less sweet, savory, etc.......

What cartoons....
"eeee heee heeee I'am gonna mix up a batch today"!

Igor, enjoyed your shared video this am, pretty neat how he grew his business, actually seems like a nice guy, I've never tried any glv products. What I would do to have access to all those flavors-wow!!!! Can't fathom all he's had to learn over the years about owning a business....and a $20,000 order just wow, can only imagine what it is nowadays.

Mom...

Could you zip up your recipes and post them?
(If you wanna share)...

I posted a culmination of what has been posted here a few pages back, and there have been so many folks asking for recipes...

 

[baseballmom]

Yeah, techy, I can start going through them and posting....I don't know what zip up means, lol, having hard time waking up this am and heading to work soon to take care of the critters big and small, but I will go through and post soon

Zipping them refers to using a compression software utility that compresses the TEXT or DOC files, and makes them easier to attach or email.

Here is where to get a free trial Winzip.

Windows has a built in uncompression utility so one does not need anything to "Unzip" the file.

By the way i tried Graham cracker, Vanilla, Cookie, but it doesn't have even a hint of Sweet tooth.

You didn't add any sweetener, so it's not surprising that it's not "sweet tooth" -- for everything you want to taste in the vape, YOU HAVE TO ADD IT -- if you ate a cookie, guess what, it's got a lot of sugar in it. We can't use sugar itself or anything that is an actual sugar, but sucralose works very well; some people use ethyl maltol or actual "cotton candy" flavor.

What you basically made was an unsweetened cookie.

Igor you'll find that you will have to add sweetener to make most mixes actually vape or taste sweet...

Most flavors from TFA are not sweet by themselves....

 

[chanelvaps]

I have a TFA flavor that is called "sweetener". Wondering what this is? is it sucralose? I really need to get away from EM I think

Yes, it's sucralose; the only other one I've tried is EcigExpress' Sweetener, which is also sucralose, but seems to have a much more artificial "whang" than TFA's version. TFA's has a very clean taste, just sweet, none of that artificial tasting stuff.

Yes it was my mistake to not add any cream in that mix, but still that graham Cracker, i have 3 here and none of them look like its going to work. I need to try Capella cracker.

And don't forget the sweetener!

I mixed a couple 100 drop efforts this morning, Bill's Twinkie and an attempt at Junior Mints. I gently swirl them when I walk by, and after eight hours they are both starting to change color to a light yellow. Is it normal for a mix to change color so soon ?
