The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[trophyfish711]

So can you really taste the lemon pretty well then? If so, would you care to share your recipe?

I tasted it just fine .. But remember .. Even the mango custard doesn't over power with mango ..

Lemon 8
Cotton Candy 4
Vanilla Custard 6
Bavarian Cream 6

Kazz/bm, hear ya on that pumpkin pie/roll...very tricky for me too so left alone...too many people asking for other stuff so again to back burner it goes even though tis the season soon.

Yeah,definitely getting close to pumpkin season haha.Last year everything i tried was with the 2 tfa pumpkin flavors,and never got anything even close to being good,so i am thinking this year i may have to branch out and try a few other brands to see if i can find that right flavor.Pumpkin is a tricky flavor,it's gotta be just right otherwise it's just all wrong haha.

Tried the CAP Pumpkin Pie spice? The reviews at ecigexpress are very good and have some mixing hints in them. They are out of it though.
I have not tried it yet but will get some.

That's what I'm missing in my arsenal! Something spicy..not jalapeno hot or cinnamon. Just something with a some heat and tang to it. Like Cajun spicy. I had a Spicy Peach from a vendor once...wish I could remember who made it.

Sounds like something "ginger" might suit. Sometimes I take ginger capsules for upset stomach, and they can be REALLY hot, you feel the burn in your throat as the capsule is dissolving in your esophagus/stomach.

Rounding out an order and ready to pull the trigger-

Horchata or Horchata Smooth? Opinnions??

 

[baseballmom]

I've only had the horchata smooth...I heard it has less cinnamon, so I can add if I wanted more...I mix it with cap horchata, and a smidge of fw cinnamon...a multi brand blend

 

[Capt.shay]

Thanks, I read the description and was kind of thinking the same, I can add more cinn. Thanks for the reply. Time to make the credit card wince.

 

[b.m.]

I would agree,go with the Horchata smooth.I got the regular Horchata first,and it is a very strong cinnamon,that's all i tasted in it,i think that one is more of a base rather than a finished flavor.

This was just posted on a Canadian DIY FB group.
So I thought I'd share it here.

This is not my post. This is from a friend of mine who is a chemist and also a mixologist. I will not disclose his name as he has been getting hostile emails from juice vendors.

"I have run some calculations that point to sucralose as being highly unfit for vaping. Sucralose under heating (~240F) will break along several cleavage points releasing 2 chlorine atoms and 3 hydroxide molecules. These hydroxide molecules strip another hydroxide molecule from glycerol, which is then chlorinated with one of the free chlorine atoms thus creating monochloridepropanol a known carcinogen that operates using a non-genotoxic mechanism. Sweetener is an avoidable risk. Good day y'all hope you guys are interested in my research"

I understand that TFA Sweetener is Sucralose and EM is not.

Don't have a clue what that all means but My juice needs some sweetening pass the sucralose please

Ditto. TFA's Sweetener is the only one I've tried that didn't have that horrible "artificial" whang. And to me, EM is not terribly sweet. Considering that I find ALL -ol sweeteners to have that godawful artificial whang, I'm sure I couldn't use enough of it to even approach true sweetness.

I just use GNC liquid Stevia.

 

[MsLoud]

I finally bought some Saline - the wound wash stuff 0.9% - from Walgreens and sprayed some in a 30ml bottle. I need something salty - and not nut kinda salty...Gonna be a mad_mixin sorta weekend methinks!

 

[MsLoud]

And BTW - I have kettle corn - smells wonderfully salty but vapes like poo...any tips for using that? I was thinking of adding the saline in with the single mix of kettle corn to up the saltiness...

Regarding sugar cookie mix, add inawera biscuit.

I was thinking that too, but I already blather on incessantly about inawera flavors in here, I'm sure it must get old.

The thing about INW Biscuit though... it's REALLY strong, can overpower anything. Making a 10% pre-mix to use in recipes is a good idea.

If you really want a "salty" taste, you will have to add enough of that kind of saline to drown the tank (I think)
Let me know how it works out
