The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[3mg Meniere]

I like Cantaloupe at a solid 12%. Throw some EM and koolada on top and you have a heck of a nice vape!

Thanks

Do you have an opportunity to compare it to MBV's Thug juice?

Michael:

Your % recommendations chart is valuable. I was wondering if you could deposit it somewhere and link to it in your signature. That way new people could have access to it all the time, and you might even be able to count the number of hits. I have it in a file on my computer.

 

[michaelsil1]

I have a copy on my Computer as well, however it's not my percentage chart someone else started it and is a community effort.

 

[3mg Meniere]

That is even better, to link it with proper attribution. I really couldn't imagine one parson doing it, and it has better reliability when several people give their feedback.

I just adjusted the percentages on TFA Pie Crust. I have used it very successfully at 0.5%. It adds a nice bakery taste.
I was working on a recipe with Cinnamon that needed a little something. I added 3% without looking at my notes. WOW!!! At 3% it totally overpowered every other flavor (even the Cinnamon) and tasted AWFUL!!! back to 0.5% for THAT flavoring!!!

glassmanoak, you started this list which makes you the OP, but several people have added to it.
So.....

There's a few I would like to adjust.

If someone uses a flavor out side of the original range, shouldn't they be able to change the range as needed even if they were not the person who initially added the flavor? As long as they indicate the change on the new list of course.

 

[glassmanoak]

Make adjustments, but note it in the body of the list, as I did with Pie Crust.
After all, these percentages are just someone's opinion, not scientific fact! Each user of the list should use it only as a guide.

I added a lower number for the Black Tea

It is awful at anything above 2.5% and requires a very long steep.

It is awful at anything above 2.5% and requires a very long steep.

I'd been playing with the black tea. Is it normally that... strong? I have it at a 1:5 ratio black tea to green tea and it's still overpowering (10% total flavor in my mix). It's only been steeped for a day so far though. Tastes kinda perfume-y. Not like any black tea I've ever drank.

 

[MsComptrtchr]

Caramel Cappuccino: 1 drop in 10ml base 4/5

Does this mean that CC is extremely strong? I just got some and I'm wondering how to use it. Seriously - only one drop per 10 ml of base?? No percentages?

I really appreciate this chart - it's very helpful!

In my opinion TFA Black Tea is


It has a unpleasant smell is super strong and requires at least a month's steep. I would have put 2.5% as the maximum percentage, but it wasn't my call.

Most think so. I haven't found the right % yet!

The dropper I use has 40 drops per ml, so one drop per 10 ml translates to 0.25%, and yes, that IS serious. Caramel Cappicino is that strong. It can knock your socks off. When I buy it, I always dilute it 4 to 1 so I can use it easier and not make a huge mistake by adding one drop too much. I do the same with raisin and M-type tobacco.

Thanks! I thought it was just me. Looking at the original amount of 10% totally threw me off - I thought that may be I had gotten a bad batch considering mine was 1% and still too strong and nothing like black tea I'm used to. Even just opening the small bottle was overwhelming, IMHO.

I've been trying to find a good Black Tea Flavor.

A good tea flavor is hard to find. What sent me to DIY was a recommendation of Earl Gray. I am contemplating mixing it with fruit flavors, since it is a bit boring by itself.

I like strong flavors and believe me 1 DROP per 10ml is plenty. I would start here and work up if needed. Good Luck
