In the TFA flavors that I have in my cart at the moment some of them say "Caution, concentrated"
This confuses me because I thought they were all concentrated yet only some of them mention it.
Going to try my hand again and hope I can turn out something that does not need poured down the sink.

Howdy y'all! So, I've been mixing a bunch of different types of eliquids and sharing with friends and family for "taste test" purposes. In the process of the taste testing, I got scolded by one of my "test friends" for not selling my liquid so, I do to the same friends and family. Not a lot and definitely not enough to support my "habit" but hey. It's friends and family. Very small group and I'm ok with that. Won't be going "national" anytime soon. 
Anyways......every once in a while, I'll get a request to create a new eliquid. The latest?? Cranberry Muffin. Cranberry flavor is easy enough to get but, any suggestions on a muffin flavor or how to's?? This ones got me stumped. 
Thanks!

That might be a tough one. I've been using cranberry with sweet and tart and a tiny bit of sweetener for a sour cranberry flavor. The muffin part is going to have to bring some sweetness to it.
I've gotten a suggestion to add a little Acetyl pyrazine to my cupcake flavor to tone down the "cake" a little. I've never used it before so, I'd have to do a little research on that one. I do have various "sweeteners" I can experiment with.
Oh c'mon people... I KNOW I have read in this thread about some of the TFA flavors being so extremely strong that using even .5% was almost overkill. I just don't recall which ones.
I dunno if TFA has an actual additive "acetyl pyrazine," but I do know that stuff is STRONG. It can overpower nearly anything unless you're VERY careful.
TFA's sweetener is by far the best I've used; none of that artificial whang, just sweet.. but it's VERY sweet. I have a MASSIVE sweet tooth, enjoy a lot of things (especially ejuice) a lot sweeter than nearly everyone, but if I go over about 3.2% sweetener, I can't vape it.
I know I've seen others mentioned here.

Yup. They have it...
Perfumers Apprentice - Acetyl Pyrazine 5 PG
Other places I've looked at, folks use anywhere from 0.5% to 4% with 1.3% being the median used.

I use acetyl pyrazine mixed down to a 10% solution. 1ml AP and 9mls pg. straight out of the bottle that stuff was stomping on my mixes. But if I am making 100mls of something I will just add a drop of straight AP
So, the link I posted up there
I'm assuming is a 5% mixture??
Yep I understand what you are saying. I take that 5% solution and mix it down further. It is too strong to me. I can always add more. I use this mixed down solution when I am working on a 10ml tester or a 50ml steeper. But if I am making a 100ml bottle I will use a drop or 2 of the straight stuff from tfa.
Your mileage and that of others may vary.

I'm thinking 0.5% of the 5% to start with. Don't want to kill the cupcake but, I still might. 
I know the caramel cappuccino is one of the super concentrated flavors. I used to use it regularly and 1-2 drops per 10ml is plenty.
Wait till you get a whiff of it. That's just a hint of the reality.I'm thinking 0.5% of the 5% to start with. Don't want to kill the cupcake but, I still might.
Haha,yeah that is the strongest flavor i have used yet.When i first got it,i didn't know any better,and made a mix of it at 10%
haha.
+1 on that. TFA Caramel Cappuccino is the strongest flavor I've ever tried. 2 drops per 15 ml in plenty for me.

I would start one drop at a time, 0.5% is a lot. Half a ml in 100 mls is way to much in my opinion.
