The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[AndriaD]

Have you talked/written to Inawera about it? Since you are not an EU citizen you are not supposed to pay VAT. I know Inawera quotes its prices as "inclusive of tax", but other suppliers such as Molin shop (also in Poland) quote prices with and w/out tax, as do other outlets in the UK where I shop from. If you bought the items personally (as a tourist) in most EU countries you can fill a form at the airport and the VAT paid would be sent back to you as cash ....at some point. So if I were you I would try to sort it out with Inawera, unless you have already tried.

No, haven't tried; there was one site I was thinking of ordering from, maybe inawera.com, but I couldn't even find a way on the site to convert whatever their currency is, to dollars. So I just gave up. I keep hoping BCV might start offering the bigger sizes, but they haven't so far.

The currency conversion is right at the top. I see the prices in Euros, although Poland still uses the Zloty - but you can convert to US dollars at the top... rather small print.

Ok, I did find that! But then for the price (of 100ml), it says "$28.68 tax incl." -- and I am not subject to that tax, so why should I pay it?

The best thing would be to contact them, tell them what you want and they will quote you a price. Probably do up a PayPal invoice when you decide.

Yes, that is why I suggested you try to sort it out with them since it is being exported out of the EU. The level of VAT varies from country to country - here it is 18%, in the UK it is 23%, I think in Poland it's about 20%.

Hi there - I received my scales today and tried out that little experiment I said I would. 1ml of my VG weighed in at 1.25grms. ! ml of PG was 1.07 grms. I have not yet weighed my nicotine or my flavours though I am thinking they will weigh out much like the PG since they are both PG based but I will check them out tomorrow because now it is getting late here. What I also wanted to say is that in the e-juice calculator under the Tools tab you will find (right at the bottom) something called Grams set. Once you have filled out your weights (leaving water at 1) and you go back to your recipe you will see that now the weight in grams has changed to give you a more accurate reading. Naturally the percentages stay the same and it still gives you the same volume (5mls, 10 mls, 30 mls or whatever) that you asked for. I haven't had the time to mix a recipe using weight but when i do I think it's going to me fun.

Hi Pap,

Your VG number was right on (mine is 1.249g according to the manufacturer), but I believe PG is about 1.036 g/ml. That is about 1 drop difference, so nothing to fret about. I would use 1.036 though, it's a commonly quoted weight for PG, and most PG-based ingredients (flavor and nic).

I am guessing different batches would probably differ a bit, but not enough to make a difference.

Thanks Girod

I've just received a batch of 10 100mil amber Boston rounds. I intend to make up some large mixes of my favourite juices so I don't have to repeat the process so often, now that I know what I like.

I thought this was interesting enough to share, a week ago last Saturday I had to order some TFA flavors, I ordered some of them from wizard labs, and the rest from TPA/TFA. I got the tracking number from TPA first, and showed movement on the 8th, and then got the tracking from wizard, which moved quickly and received it on Friday. The package from TPA never showed movement again. I sent TPA/TFA a e-mail about it, and they are sending me the entire replacement order, no questions asked, and said that if I ever do get the other one I can keep it. Outstanding customer service!

I don't know if you guys remember me posting this or not, but to my surprise, my original shipment just showed up. So now I have a really good supply of Acetyl Pyrazine, Banana cream, Cheesecake Graham Crust, Kentucky Bourbon Flavor, and Vanilla Cupcake.

I do use it in a lot of recipes, but yeah, that order was for 30ML, and just turned into 60ML, should last me quite some time.

Well I got my TF Greek Yogurt and made this:

Strawberry/Blueberry Yogurt

TFA Blueberry Wild 4.5%

TFA Strawberry Ripe 5.4%

TFA Greek Yogurt 9.5%

TFA Graham Cracker 2%

It is good. I think all things are better with at least 10 day steep so I will report back. Right now it seems very Berry ish

 

[clnire]

Ooo eager to hear the report chanel! With the sales I am making a list of flavors I need, just might add yogurt.

 

[chanelvaps]

I also found in my stash some Flavor Art Yogurt and it smells like stomach acid. TFA's Greek Yogurt does not

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Yogurt cereal!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Anyone make Yogurt loopers yet?

From some of the flavors I have bought I can only conclude that some people must like stomach acid flavor....

Eeuuww. That's exactly how sourdough starter smells to me -- I cannot be where that bread is made.

Has anybody made this?

Werthers

6% Butterscotch

5% Caramel

4% Vanilla Cream

5% Caramel

5% Vanilla Custard

5% butterscotch

This is how it is listed and I am wondering since it lists Caramel twice is one of them supposed to be Caramel Candy? Love some input if anyone knows. Also love some advice from anyone that has some to give it they think it would be all right to add that second 5% as Caramel Candy.
