The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Alexander Mundy]

Interesting - could that be the FlavorWest version of Snickers? I actually have some of that I haven't tried yet. Are you still using the Jolly Rancher grape flavor? When you get it perfected, you'll have to name it - you've put so much work into this flavor, lol!

Yes, this is with Grape Jolly Rancher, but I think I could do the same with Grape juice with a little EM & maybe Sour.
Next time I see Dave I will inquire about the Snickers.
Pretty sure he mixes his own, but could be wrong I have never asked about that.
He has done candle and aroma liquid for a long time and added the ecig part of his business a couple of years ago when he broke the bonds of cigarettes.
He re-brands his e-liquid and aroma stuff for quite a few shops and that is the majority of his business.
Well, got to collect the trash, take it out, put the dog to bed, but the grandson to bed, then get to bed myself.

Ya got me, I couldn't get it to work for me either.
I really wanted a frosty root beer and failed.
Smells a little like it but certainly doesn't taste like it.
I tried adding Bavarian Cream, Vanilla Swirl, Vanilla Cupcake, French Vanilla, and also Champagne. (individually then mixed some of those concoctions together)
I didn't have anything else that remotely made me think it would work so I gave up.

I make root beer and this is one of my favorites.
TFA Root Beer 7%
TFA French Vanilla 10%
TFA Mint Candy 2%
(Sweet) 1 drop of Ez Sweetz Per 5ml

You can eliminate the TFA Mint candy,it is good but strong.You can also bump up the root beer about 2% more.

Thank you for the info. I will try it out. what does the mint do for taste? does this give it the fizz or is there something else about it?

Basically I just add it for the extra flavor and kick,TFA Mint candy is a wonderful additive and smells great,It can be over done if not careful.

hm you guys arent having luck with cherry cola? its one of the few things i can make that i like. =) 5% black cherry and 5% cola. im thinking of bumping it up to 7% each. its not bad, a little flat tasting, but at least its vapable to me. ive heard that adding koolada can help with beverage vapes to make it seem cooler? i decided to log on and post because i happen to be vaping it right now =)

and the TFA root beer- omg im with you guys. it is like bad perfume even at 5%. damn shame cause RB is one of my favorite vapes.

I'm not the originator, but I'm an herbalist - and I've learned over the years that most all 'typical root beer' recipes always contained wintergreen. I've seen several people note that they add wintergreen to their root beer vapes. Perhaps some kind of 'minty something' gives root beer that "frosty" taste.

I made up a sample of TFA Root Beer & Vanilla Swirl (with a tiny bit of wintergreen)...and it was horrible (and only a wee bit less than horrible after steeping for weeks).

I think the Mint Candy is a great idea; I'm definitely putting it on my list!

I'm gonna try this - just need some black cherry (another reason to order some flavors from Wizard!)

I use nothing but TFA flavors. I'm going to have to try a lot of these recipes.

The only flavoring I've been able to get to work for me is Watkins Root Beer from the grocery store. IDK why, but it has been an awesome Vape. I would like to be able to use TFA root beer if anyone knows how to make it vapable.
I know this isn't the thread for this, but here's my recipe for RootBeer using Watkins flavoring from Walmart. It has the fizz I'm looking for.

What calculator is that? I've not been able to find one for Mac.

That's a filemaker database is use for keeping track of my personal stock. I haven't taken the time to develope the formulas and add them to the db just yet. That will take a little time and I've been having fun making my juices.

I found some good calculators in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/169390-ejuice-calculator-roundup.html - The best calculator I found and like is an xls file named ejuce_calculatorv14.xls and can be found towards the end of the thread. If you don't have an app for running excel files you can always download openoffice.org. You can open and save MS office file extensions and the best thing is it's open source which means it's free.

I also like to use this site with their online calculators Do It Yourself E-Liquid (E-Juice) Recipe Mixing Station! This is a great resource.

FileMaker is perfect for this

 

[Jakersvape]

I'll second that.

What percentage do you use for the black cherry on its own?

Cool. I'll have to give it a try. Do you add any sweetner or em to it?
