The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Tamer El-Meehy]

Hopefully the reduction in % will help and cure time....but I have heard some DO get shampoo or suntan lotion taste notes from coconut extra, so you are not alone...as with many flavors, ymmv and another brand or maybe regular coconut or coconut candy may fit your tastes better....coconut is almost a difficult flavor, imo....good thing for multiple versions and brands here to try and mix....I started with extra and went to regular, I like the candy too...that's just me though....have capellas and maybe some flavour art in my box too.....and have fw creamy coconut on my wish list... I am not done trying out coconuts.

There is a weaker taste of shampoo now, but it's still there...I will try to cut this percentage in half (0.125%) and see..if it doesn't work out I'll order FA's coconut

You may have to resort to a drop/5-10 mL.... Coconut can be pretty powerful. I use it in a number of recipes (including a 5P Castle Long clone and Bill's Almond Joy among others.) Maybe it's the combination of the other ingredients? I really like it in Bill's Flamingo (strawberry and watermelon - I believe are the correct fruits - and the coconut) it's noticeable, but not overwhelming....

Good luck with your hunt, Tamer!

Ok, 4 lassi trials starting..a lassi is a yogurt drink usually with a fruit, some versions mix nuts or chocolate based on recipes I found online..i like fruit more myself (ahlusion makes a nice mango and papaya lassi juice, both I used to love, and still would if not diy-ing so much, honestly good juices, highly recommend if buy vendors ever still), my thought process is to start with my base before adding the fruit, there's many ways to approach... see many use Greek yogurt with bavarian cream, so those 2 and sweetener are composing my main base, yogurt being highest %...the 4 renditions have different accent dairy/creams...cap sweet cream, other 3 tfa...malted milk, vanilla swirl, and horchata smooth(to get a mild cinnamon accent too, I don't have cardoman and probably won't buy).

Initial taste test on finger after shake...Malted milk version gives me that yogurt twang I want so far, the vanilla swirl version reminds me more of frozen soft serve vanilla yogurt or ice cream...sweet, sweet, sweet....Initial finger drop impressions only, all 4 10 ml trials will sit/age/cure more before tasting in kfl+ clone. If anyone has any other suggestions....

I would love to try this with yogurt, hangsen italian cream, and bilberry

 

[baseballmom]

Sketchness, you should! I've been curious about that Italian cream, if you got, you should try, why not, nothing to lose....maybe a New recipe to gain...I would like to know how it comes out if you do.

Ohhhh... BBMom... I don't know how you have the patience for that! *chuckles* That's one of my favorite things about my RDAs... testing juice is so much quicker and easier than filling a tank with it. (Well, that, and I can't help myself, I have to taste test as soon as I mix anything...) I have found, though, that I have to adjust recipes depending on whether I'm dripping them or putting them in the Silver Play RTA...

I do have it and FW yogurt, along with FA bilberry. I have tons of stuff I haven't really tried. And I still want about 50 more. Of course bull city had to go and get new flavors in as well. Grrr

FC coconut just tastes like coconut. Not artificial flavor. But coconut seems to tend to overpower other flavors.

You can try to add 0.20% coconut extra tpa, in muy experience at that small % you dont even notice the coconut it will only boost the creams and yogurth

Flavor concentraytes flavoring, no artificial ingredients flavoring. Use more just tastes stronger no perfumy or anything strange.
Flavor Concentrates - Highly Concentrated Natural Flavoring - Flavor Drops

Excellent blueberry.

."( heard you all mention before, yes I read gourmet thread and ahl thread to keep tabs on new stuff and sales)....Lol, I get "b.u.t." from cap vC2, used to call it "cheap Chinese dog toy plastic", "b.u.t." is much easier

Hahaha that would be "CCDTP"
Yes I yack about BUT so much I do not dare to tell any of my juice junkie threads that all my mixes have it

 

[chanelvaps]

You tasting "b.u.t." might be beneficial in your mixing, just gotta nail down what flavor causes it...fails/mistakes help too

BB mom..can this taste be from my pg/vg? Do some have a taste when others do not? I bought from Amazon. Until word from you I was going to try a different vendor, perhaps Nude Nicotine next time

Best way to rule those out would be vape just a bit of straight pg,then some straight vg,and to rule out the nic,make a small bit of unflavored,mix it down with either pg or vg whichever base your nic is in.This way you can find exactly which is giving you the bad taste.

Hi all!

I've been very busy with work and have had very little time for the forums.

I would like to again invite all to share their recipes on the drop box!

Even if if it's an adapted recipe, just give credit where credit is due!

Keep up the great recipes and as always most of you know how to get in touch with me!

 

[baseballmom]

I'll probably try in a few more days, yes I'm patient...also still enjoying my watermelon mixes...kaz, I tried dripping last year made me cough terribly so I stuck with tanks, tried some igo thing, forget which model...not for me, ow my throat(!!!). Hope all is going well with you and your wife I tend to mix and Let set...Don't know why with 100 drop test being so easy...???

Chanel, I got pg and vg from Amazon, essential depot before, mine had no odd tastes, not sure what other brands sold there though...have you tried solo to test yet? I'm thinking it's a flavor...b.u.t. from vendor and diy mixes....there has to be a common denominator here....I could be wrong, very wrong, have been before. Sweetener? Nicotine? I know you have tried a lot of vendors, so thinking...what could b.u.t. really be???? B.m. beat me to it, great suggestions, hope doing well too!

Techy..hope all is going well...hoping both you and Bill are doing well Enjoying things, having fun, not just working so hard.

Got in dx caramel original, silly rabbit, and fudge brownie....other brands too yesterday...not sure why order when have so many and so little time, flavor shopping is addicting though...especially why in summer, when busier at work, and the boys keeping me so busy...got fruit requests, no citrus or tank crackers to make for neighbor...thinking Flamingo and a snake oil clone...simplicity and tasty!

Celebrating 2 years smoke free tomorrow too...yay!!! Never imagined this long...amazing!

But I will post thoughts once try out the lassi attempts...even if yuck and need of adjustments

Keep mixing and sharing friends!
