The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[ShamrockPat]

Here are 3 recipies I use as my ADV's. The first 2, with this thread's help, I managed to sweeten and cream them up. I figure they're now ready for prime time, and would appreciate any feedback, but I think they're great the way they are.


Sweet Strawnana
Banana Cream (TPA) 4%
Cotton Candy (TPA) 4%
Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA) 10%
Banana (TPA) 4%
Sweet cream ( TPA) 5%

Strawb Gwab
Cotton Candy (TPA) 4%
Guava (TPA) 2%
Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA) 7%
Strawberry Cream(TPA) 3%

This guy, while quite vapeable still has a non-existent Mango taste. Both the pineapple and guava are very potent, and come through without being overpowering at 1%. My next batch will be using the (TPA) Philippine Mango which is supposed to be much better. It also needs some sweetener as they're fruit (Bill's 10 commandments).

I like the sound of all of those...copy and pasted into my new recipe doc I'm trying to build....

Especially the Mango Pineapple...!

(TPA) Philippine Mango which is supposed to be much better.

I've heard that a lot lately....I ordered that flavor a couple days ago.

 

[hittman]

I do that with the milkshake recipe from the dropbox. I mix the milkshake and then put 20-22% of that in for a base.

What calculator is everyone using? The one I have only does PG, VG, Nic, and one flavouring.

 

[Kaezziel]

I have yet to use a calculator... I use a Post-It note most of the time... LOL

 

[cliffy15]

I've been using eJuiceMeUp for a couple of years. works well for my purposes.

I only use eJuice Me Up.

 

[SLM]

Thanks, I'll look for that one!

Yes, do yourself a favor, skip the rest and go right to the best.
IMHO of course.....

Thanks but I tried that one and I can't figure out how to get it to do anything. I won't let me change anything.

Hmmm, wish I could help. That's a shame because the features in it put everything else to shame.

Maybe hit up the developer in that thread if you feel motivated to do so. He is active every day in his thread and turns out feature requests like he's getting paid.

I use the EJuiceMeUp Calculator and have enjoyed watching it evolve over the last few years. It does everything I need and more. While there are many new calculators out there, I'm used to what I started with, i.e., the EJMU, and see no need to learn a new system. Of course, it wasn't always that way. I remember the first two or three years of vaping I amassed about 100 different batteries and Advanced Vaping devices together with more than 200 different vaping tanks, cartos, etc. Eventually, I found a setup that I liked, and while I'm certain there are better ways to go, and that I could improve my vaping experience, I like what I have, and see no need to change, no need to learn another device, no need to jump on the latest greatest new "shiny." But I do remember when I did do that. I am so thankful that I'm now out of that stage!!! I feel the same way about vaping calculators. They all do pretty much the same thing. When you find one you like, you're pretty much done, but YMMV. Good luck to you Vapor Geniuses!

 

[SLM]

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the information. I think I need an instruction manual for the "New" calculator, LOL!

E juice me up seems more like what I'm after.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

No one mentioned Steam Engine. It doesn't save the recipe, but I use MS Excel for recipe recording. I guess it is simple. I need that.

 

[DingerCPA]

A lot of people must go through more liquid than I do. I've been using out of the same 500ml bottle for two or three months now and still have half left. I know it's cheaper to buy bulk VG and use 100mg nic but I still buy 36mg. It's what I'm used to using and it works for me. I still use anywhere from 20-30mg and I go back and forth on my VG and pg percentage.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

E Juice Me Up is good. I used it a bit. But my needs are pretty simple. I always start with 10mg base. So when I add flavors it ends up around 8mg or 9mg plus or minus a bit. I made up a spreadsheet for recording recipes, flavorings down the first column, then 5 more columns for recipes. I tweaked it up over time with formulas. Now for each mix I'm doing I just have to enter the bottle size and the percentage of each flavoring, and a recipe name. It tells me how much nic base to put in the bottle, and the amount of each flavoring. I don't even bother printing the sheet now. I just have it up on the screen while I work. And I can always look back through the sheets.

It's a bit approximate as far as the final nic % goes but it's not a big deal for me. And it's really simple to use.

Are any of the TFA flavors known for cracking plastic type tanks?

Yes, there are a dozen or so that are tank crackers, syringe killers, etc.

Some where on this thread is a list of them, but I couldn't find them with a quick check. Others, though, will pipe in with the answers. I can tell you that they come in a different plastic bottle (depending on size/volume), than the non-tank-crackers. Good luck!
