The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

The lemon is just a drop or two - you can use sour if you wish. Raspberry might be replaced by some other high flavoured sourish berry I would think... blackberry perhaps or maybe cranberry... something that is not too sweet. You want to create a contrast.

With me the flavours i love in real life but can't stand in juice are cinnamon and blueberry anything. Go figure.

This sounds really good - putting peach on my next order LOL

Peach is one of the easier flavors from TFA to work with as it stands on it's own quite well!

Peachy Menthol

Peach 12%
Menthol 1.5%
Super Sweet CAP 1 drop per 30ml (Sucralose)

You can add some Juicy Peach for variety

Pina Colada - something I've been playing with for a few days now. Getting close. Did just place another order, waiting on Jamaican Rum to spice it up a little

35/65 3% nic
Pina Colada 10%
VBIC 2
Van Swirl 2
Cotton Candy 2
Bav Cream 1
Pineapple 1

Very good immediately, great after a 24 hour breath. It is a little "dry" but I think I like that.
Anyone have any success with Jamaican Rum? Was gonna start with 1-2%

 

[DingerCPA]

I'm using it in a Rumchata recipe, and I'm about 5-6% I actually think I might like just a smidge more.

Please let me know when you feel it's a rap; I'll add it to the collection!

...yeah it has to have rum in it!

I just saw your picture, and didn't read all the text

Haven't had enough coffee yet

Cayenne pepper is considered as safe to eat as well, but vaping it.....
Has anyone been stupid enough to try cayenne ejuice?

Actually NONE of the stuff we DIY with says on it's label that it is for use in ejuice.

I figured if I vaped cayenne it would have some complications, so I opted to snort it!

Wow dOOd!.....

It's definitely doable haha.I don't know what flavor they used to make it,but i got a premade juice a while back that's called honey nut cereal,and it tastes exactly like honey nut cheerios,so somewhere out there is a cheerios type flavor.

Yeah,i agree.The one i followed,i think had it at 5% and it is very faint in that,so i'm guessing that at 1-2% you would probably never notice it at all.

Hi all.

One of the very first pre-mixed juices I ever bought when I switched to vaping was Prometheus by Mistique: Prometheus eLiquid by Mystique | UK eLiquid Shop
As the blurb says, there is no description of this e-juice but it is something I have always wanted to replicate. I got some inspiration tonight which is darned close... even as i vape them side by side. Mine is a little harsher though what I am vaping is an off the cuff drop test with obviously no steeping. Also, I am vaping the real thing in a Lemo 2, and mine in a Derringer so that has also to be accounted for I suppose.

This is what I have - see if you can improve on it. All TFAs apart from the Vanilla Bourbon

8% Coconut Extra
6% Cinnamon Danish
5% Vanilla Custard
4% EM
3% Vanilla Swirl
1% Vanilla Bourbon

You will see I disagree with all the reviews on that page. There's absolutely no taste of banana or almonds in the original so none in mine. And I am vaping them side by side.

Quick question that is slightly off-topic, but also fairly general, and I have no idea where to find any better place to ask it... Aren't the Lorann flavors usually really strong? Like, only needing 1%-2% for good flavor? I just got the Lorann Cherry, and really have no idea how much would be good to use, to try in a side by side with the TFA Cherry Extract (along with the TFA Ginger Ale).

Thx!

I've never tried that premade,but your recipe sounds very good.After really liking the venus clone you posted,and vaping it all day for past 2 days,i definitely have to give this one a try too haha.I'll mix a batch this weekend and give it a try.

The few lorann flavors i have used weren't that strong.I've tried the grape,watermelon,lemonade,and cream cheese icing.The grape and watermelon i had to go around 10% to even taste them,the lemonade i used in Bill's lemonade recipe,and if i remember right,i think it was around 10% or so,the cci some people say is very strong and overpowering,but i used it at 6% in a red velvet recipe and it was very faint,it could have been bumped up another % or two.

By the way,congrats on winning a spot in the big ecf contest.

I think you're right, Andria - I sense the LorAnn flavorings to be a little more concentrated than TFA. I used LA Almond in my Honey Tobacco, and even at 3%, it's WAAAAAY too much for me. I'm going to drop to 1% next time I make a batch - I don't taste much of anything else (which this endeavor was infinitely better than the 7% I put in my first batch )

Hmm. I'm thinking it needs a little more cakeyness... like I said this is a work in progress still. The cinnamon danish is definitely there but I might exchange some of the vanilla swirl for a touch of vanilla cupcake. I would value your input. Thanks.
