I was wandering, would % of TFA flavor used in mix be different if comparing same flavors bought from different vendors?

It's possible, I guess.. That would depend on the vendor you purchased from, you'd have to ask them. I see a couple scenarios, one would be the vendor re-selling a diluted mix to increase profit, and the second might be the vendor re-labeling smaller portions and getting the names mixed up (blueberry candy becomes 'blueberry'), etc..

IMO, if you're buying a large quantity, I'd just go direct to TFA/TPA. We are inhaling this stuff, after all.. best to be on the safe side.

I just got an order in and was mixing some flavors in around 10-15% with 60/40 PG/VG (just single flavors, to evaluate them individually) and I'm a little concerned about the Champagne..

I swear it smells almost like rubber cement.. is this one that needs to steep normally? Just wanting to see if anyone else noticed anything similar, before I actually tried to vape it.. :)

Also, blueberry candy.. I know it's triaciten (sp?), but it's not dissolving at all.. any tips there?


I've never tried champagne as a single mix, but adding 3% to cola, dew, etc. sure gives them an authentic bubbly sensation.

Can anyone recommend the best TFA blueberry .. I'm sort of stuck on blueberry and I can't get mine to taste right. I was getting it from myfreedomesmokes.com but it's a bit weak after mixing it.Idk maybe I need to change something.Someone said I should add lemon juice.

Blueberry Wild -- Bright and genuine, not candy like, but weak. Wish it were more concentrated. My favorite.
Blueberry Candy -- Probably what you expect it to taste like. Not too bad in a mix.
Blueberry Extra -- Strong, but trending toward artificial candy flavor. My least favorite.

Blueberry Wild and Lemon and a bit of tart or Sweet Tart is an excellent fresh blueberry blend for me.

I like blueberry extra at about 10% as a standalone flavor, I've also mixed it with Belgian waffle as well. I haven't tried blueberry wild yet but I hear it's good but a little weaker. I see on this thread (post 1671) it's recommended at 15%. If I had both, I'd try a mixture of the 2, but I like to experiment.

Cheers,
Steve

I add a drop or 2 of lemon juice (real lemon from the grocery store) per 5ml to my fruit mixes to make them pop

Thanks, I guess you are right on that.

Thnx OL -- I'll probably order them all, along with some lemon juice and experiment.

In my experience with TFA, and I have ALLOT of them..... sine of these percentages are insanely high. I recommend starting at 3-5% and working up..
First one I noticed was the absinth flavor...
I use .15-.20%
I love this flavor but at 10%, it was impossible to vape.

Interesting... The absinthe in my opinion is pretty weak. I personally would never start with anything lower than 10% with that.... Interesting though

Now that I think of it, I should not have said Blueberry Extra is my least favorite, that's not really accurate. Suppose it's not helping anyone either. Should have said I don't use it as much as the other two, but I'm vaping some right now in a mix and I like it -- and my tastes do change and seem to wander all over the place sometimes with vaping. The BB Extra mixes well with the TFA Raspberry (which is one of the strongest flavors I have), mixed with a little Coconut Extra and Lemon and Violet it's such an exotic unique flavor bomb. Any of the blueberries and the Sweet Tart mix well. If you like weird blue-raspberry-like flavors, TFA's will get you there.

The TFA tobacco flavorings seem a whole world above the fruit flavors in potency, or concentration.

Do any of you ever use a single flavoring? Funny, seems I blend everything to get what I like. Many of these flavors on their own wouldn't appeal as much to me.

What's your favorite single-flavor TFA vape?
