The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

@Dave_in_OK - Alright...I done several searches on here to try to find Bill's recipe for that Watermelon concoction, and it's very elusive. Care to share it since I can't find it anywhere? Please....

I have a few watermelon recipes as my daughter Megan likes it. Here's the post of them from previous:

Watermelon is not a strong flavor, so it can get tricky to make a lot of different juices with it. Here's my favorite watermelon recipes:

Watermelon Bubblegum

Watermelon - 15%
Bubblegum - 8%
Sweetener - 2%

Watermelon Starburst

Watermelon - 15%
Sweet and Tart - 5%
Sweetener - 2%

Watermelon Surprise

Watermelon - 14%
Watermelon Candy - 4%
Sweetener - 5%
Lemon - 2%
Orange Cream - 2%
Sweet and Tart - 2%
Koolada - 1%

Cool Breeze

Watermelon - 9%
Blueberry Wild - 7%
Menthol - 2 - 4%
Raspberry - 4%
Lemon Lime - 2%
Koolada - 2%
Cotton Candy - 2%

Like No Other Watermelon

Watermelon - 12%
Pears - 4%
Cotton Candy - 4%
Brown Sugar - 3%
Vanilla Custard - 4%
Caramel - 1%
Whipped Cream - 1%

There are a lot of Watermelon recipes out there. These are my versions of my favorite watermelons. My daughter Megan's favorite juice was watermelon, so we played around with a few and came up with these. She also liked just watermelon at 12% just fine. It worked better, imho, with supporting flavors, but to each their own, right?!

Good luck!

Bill, I mixed up a 10 ml batch of your Like No Other Watermelon last week; two days later had to mix it again. Now I'm on my third bottle and loving it! I don't know how it would be after steeping for a few weeks but I'm about to find out as I'm tired of mixing it in little bottles so I'm going to mix a 120ml batch today. Hopefully that will last mje a few weeks lol. It is a very unique flavor with depth thanks for one more great recipe.

Just add two or three drops of citric acid to the mix ATM, and it'll taste pretty much the same for several weeks. When flavoring gets over 20%, or more, steeping is not really required, as the flavors don't need to "emerge." They're already present. Sometimes steeping helps, but I generally mix to shake and vape, add the Citric Acid, and leave it alone. Takes too long the other way, imho, but lot's of folks do it that way. Once I find a good mix, I pretty much want it to stay that way, and the CA assists a great deal in this regard, but does depend, somewhat, on the ingredients. Good luck to you and glad you liked the mix. We can both thank daughter Megan for that one.

Megan wanted a combination of my peaches and pears, Jo's Peach Cobbler, my Vanilla Custard, added to her Watermelon substituting for the peaches. Strange, I know, but she really liked it!

Gee...Thanks, Bill! I really appreciate it.

I have ALL of your recipes from the Dropbox saved and any others from your Blogs, too. But that "Like No Other Watermelon" above, isn't in those anywhere. Or...did I just overlook it? I will say...it definitely looks, um...like an interesting mix. But, then again, I haven't made 1 of yours yet that hasn't been a winner, so I'll "go for it"!

In any event, now all your watermelon recipes are here in 1 place for others to get them, too, who haven't been to the Dropbox or your Blogs! Thanks, yet again.

While we are on the topic of watermelon, here is a pretty good simple recipe.

Watermelon 10%
Raspberry Sweet 3%
Sweetener 1%

This will have neither the breadth nor the depth of Bill's recipes, but it is a nice light vape for the summer.

Others have loaded those recipes onto the dropbox...not me. I have many recipes on this thread that are not on the dropbox, some not even on my calculator. A few people have tried to assemble them all, and I've used their posts for blogs, but even then, not all my TFA recipes on this thread are even on those either. I continue to stick around this thread to help the new member and reveal the secrets of the juice makers, and I've tried really hard to do both. If a few don't get here or there, I don't worry much about it. They'll eventually show up if people look for them. Those recipes were just my watermelon recipes from a previous post, and two of them aren't even in my calculator files! Hope you like them, and good luck!

I still can't figure out how to extract the Dropbox recipes.

I still can't figure out how to extract the Dropbox recipes.

Are you downloading the .ZIP file? If using Windows, double-click on the file and near the top of the window, "Extract all files" That will decompress and drop into a folder wherever the original was located. Some of the files are ejuicemeup-formatted. Some are text files....

Hopefully I'm not telling you things you might already know....

 

[SLM]

Once you get it extracted you have to use the ejuicemeup calculator to open the ones that end in .rec

So you need the calculator and the recepies.

Yeah, I did all that but saw that ".rec" file extension SLM mentions here

Purdy dog, btw.

Ahh. Reckon I'm gonna have to fire up the desktop or laptop. The ejuicemeup calc isn't "iPad friendly".

One of my problems too!

Thanks - her cuteness is the only thing that saves her most days

I've heard EJMU is not "tablet" happy.... Hope you can get them open - there are some amazing recipes in there!

HAI @LynnNC!

I'm finally getting smart with my mixing.... I sat down the other night and just mixed up bases. So, next time I want juice, I just pull off the right proportion for whatever size bottle I'm going to make. Why it's taken me over a year to figure this out.

HAI LadyDinger!! I was doing that but was told by some folks that that way was wrong so I stopped. Doing it the base way makes things a heckuva lot easier!!

Can't imagine what's "wrong" with that. In fact, I'm going to go back to some of my Lemon-based recipes (which always cloud on me) to see if that keeps them from getting so cloudy.....

I'm only mixing enough for about 60mL juice per base, so it's an experiment in my book.

I wouldn't say it's "wrong",the only issue i would see with it is recipes with varying amounts of flavor.Say one calls for a total of 15% flavor and another is 25% flavor,then it would throw the pg/vg ratio and mg of nic. out of whack.Some people don't mind if their ratios are off some,but it would drive me nuts haha,i have to know that my juice is 30pg/70vg and 12mg haha.

 

[hittman]

I've been going back and forth between 30/70 and 50/50. The lite strawberry cheesecake tastes better to me at 50/50 but the famous cheesecake is good at 30/70.

 

[DingerCPA]

@b.m. I'm not too .... about pg/VG ratio, but my intent is to pull the right amount of flavor for the size bottle. I do know there are some who want/need more precision.

 

[DingerCPA]

Besides, with favorites, I'm hoping that this will speed me to quicker mixing when I really want jooz.

I can see the problem with different juices taking different flavoring percentages. But if you have a few ADVs, there is one nice shortcut. You can mix up a bottle of the flavorings. I know Bill did or still does it that way. Then it's just measure out the percent of flavoring to a bottle, add PG/VG/Nic and you're set.

I probably didn't explain it well. If you don't understand what I mean, just ask.
