The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

I noticed the high percentage .. I have tried "cheesecake " but not at that high percentage .. I have tried a few times to make just a strawberry cheesecake .. But come up muted .. I think I have done about 10 , 100dt .. Just can't get it .. Even close .. So I didn't know if that was just a base .. Then add strawberry and some other things .. I haven't stumped in a while and strawberry cheesecake stumps me .. That's why I ordered the NY Cheesecake from the other company cause of the reviews for it ..

I have mentioned many times that I can't make a good cheesecake. Like you, I have tried many times. I wouldn't feel bad about it. I haven't seen a great cheesecake recipe going on four years now, and one may not exist, as far as my taste buds are concerned.

That being said, I've had many members say that the cheesecakes that I've posted were very good. Different strokes and all that. Another hard one is vanilla custard, though I do think my lastest one is pretty good, and I worked on it solid for a year, or more. Some foods, for a variety of reasons, just don't translate well to vaping, and certainly cheesecake is one of them. In part, I think, the texture of cheesecake doesn't translate, that thick, stick to the tongue wonderful taste that a good New York cheesecake imparts upon eating is something special for me. I can't even get close to matching it. Just not the same experience, at all. So, I wish you good luck, but, remember, we've all heard the story on cheesecake, many, many times. Good luck to you!

I know I've said it before but I really like the lite strawberry cheesecake recipe from the Dropbox. I up the cheesecake, graham cracker, and strawberry 1% higher but am using it every day.

I guess it probably helps that I don't like cheesecake to eat.

I found that thread by accident actually. Yay Google.

I'm currently testing four different mixes based on two recipes and what flavorings I had access to at home and work. V1 and v3 seem to be suckage, v2 and v4 are promising.

Didn't have everything I wanted to play with though, so I'm still in limbo. No FA Cookie, FW Crunch Cereal or FLV Cereal. When I get to my recipe notebook, I'll pop am update of where I'm at.

It'll be cool to see what ya' get, be nice if the shop would give hints...not specific % but brand s, that'd be easier, but...shops around here probably wouldn't either. Hope your mix is a success and even better

Maybe this year, LOL....don't ya' love flavor accumulation syndrome and then don't get around to for months....yet at ordering time, it was "I gotta get this NOW!"

 

[baseballmom]

Just a update made 240ml of Shamrock shake although the recapie does not have it i added a little Vanilla bean icecream to it, and all i can say is wow. [added about 1ml ] Could probably add more and would only make it taste even better. But the original recepie is almost spot on.

Your initial recipe looked yummy as is, now...wow!....I don't have cdm but if I ever pick up, I am soooo gonna try this, thanks for sharing!

Haha,that's exactly how it works with me haha.I'll see someone mention a flavor that sounds good,and it always gets added to my next order,then i either can't think of a mix to use it in,or i look at it and think "why did i order that" haha.I have about 10 so far that have been sitting for months because they were spur of the moment,have to get flavors,but i'll try them all some day haha.With the sweet tea though,i think it's mainly because it's still cold out,when it warms up outside,then i start wanting real sweet tea,so maybe it will work the same with the flavor haha.

I've done the same thing many times! Or I've seen a recipe, picked up the flavors for it then forgotten which recipe or what site it was on because I failed to bookmark it.

 

[hittman]

Been there, done that. I have a few flavors that I don't remember what I ordered them for.

I've done that several times.I see a recipe that sounds good,so i'll add any needed flavors to my list,and sometimes it may be 2-3 weeks before i place the order,then by the time i get them i have no clue what recipe they were for haha.It usually works out ok,as i will find the recipe again or others using that flavor,but i have had 2 times where a specific recipe is the only time i have ever seen a certain flavor used,and i have never found them again haha.Luckily i was able to make trades on those 2 flavors,so all wasn't lost,but it was a little irritating haha.

 

[LynnNC]

I only 1 flavor that I purchased and can't figure out why or what it was to be used in...FA Grapefruit. No clue whatsoever! Lol

My 1 extreme oddball that i have no clue at all why i bought it is Inawera cactus.I've read that it's good,and one day i will try it,but for the life of me,absolutely no clue what it was ordered for haha.

 

[hittman]

I've never even heard of cactus flavor. I'm starting to see that there's a whole other world out there outside of TFA flavors. I've got just a couple inawera and a few cap so far besides a pretty good collection of tfa flavors.

 

[LynnNC]

I have a bigger collection of FA than any of the others because I've been able to pick them up on sale. My TFA is starting to gain on them though. I've also purchased a few CAP, FW, INA and Flavorah.

I had never heard of it either,i seen it mentioned somewhere and got curious.I think that's probably why i ordered it,based on curiosity haha.
I have several flavors from most of the well brands,but Tfa definitely makes up most of my stash,i'd say at least 98% of it.

I'm going to make some more lemon Danish when I get home tonight. I didn't have the cream cheese icing the first time I made it but now I do. I wonder how much of a difference it will make.

 

[SLM]

Grapefruit sounds good with strawberry to me. Maybe a bubblegum or jawbreaker type flavor?

I have Carmel, gram cracker, cucumber and gin... I think I was thinking... Oh, a cucumber gin mix sounds refreshing! LOL

That's actually in my cart at BCV right now! I tried some samples we were sent at work and one line was cactus based flavors. I was thinking of doing a cucumber hibiscus cactus one.

 

[LynnNC]

Cucumber, hibiscus and cactus sounds refreshing! Is hibiscus a very floral taste?

Is this in the Dropbox? Sounds good!
