So 1/4 teaspoon of it dissolved in 10ml pg... What is that equal too worth of my cotton candy flavoring?

Cotton Candy and EM are the same thing by two different names. Once you dissolve 1/4 teaspoon in 10ml of PG it will be like you bought the already dissolved EM/Cotton Candy concentrated flavoring. I've never tried making a juice with just EM/Cotton Candy but according the recommended usage for a single flavor of Cotton Candy it's 10-20% of the concentrated flavoring. That would be 10-20% of the flavoring you make by dissolving the 1/4 teaspoon of EM crystals in 10ml of PG.

Example: If you are making a 10ml test batch, you would use 1-2ml of the flavoring your making (the 1/4 teaspoon of crystals dissolved in the 10ml of PG will be the concentrated flavor - use 1-2 ml of that to 8-9ml of base - I would start with 1ml of flavoring and 9ml of base).

Cheers,
Steve

I would hope that if the person who added it to the list meant circus, they would have included that. I would assume that it is Cotton Candy, not Cotton Candy Circus. (But I don't know, I've never used EM for a single flavor mix)

may have meant caramel or kettle corn…. i know its been called canival corn or maybe circus corn…?

How strong is TFA Sour? Just trying to figure out how much to add to berry mixes without going overboard.

I didn't see any response other than a couple drops in 10ml (?), would this be good for berry types that are nice alone but need a little kick in the pants?

i suppose i could try it… doh.

    I wish I could help more but I haven't made any berry mixes. I'm using the sour in my menthol. Since I said a few drops earlier, I have increased how much I'm using. I'm trying to copy my favorite menthol tobacco liquid that is no longer sold and am using 10 drops from a 15ml bottle of sour with 5ml of pg unflavored 36mg along with TA, menthol, and a couple other things.

    I now have Mild Black mixed at 13% and am just getting close to flavor I'd want. Though seems quite nice. I guess "mild" must be key. What did you find?

    I hope you are making it for a right now vape because once it steeps it will get stronger possibly become un-vapeable after awhile at that percentage.

    I use TFA mainly for flavorings, and was wondering how everyone was using the flavors and I found this thread. After finding it I got bored really bored and made a excel sheet for all TFA flavors.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhCVuUTrPNQLdFlKZV9ZMlYwVFBhQ21FMDVra254QlE&usp=sharing

    This is all the flavors they sell, feel free to add what you feel needs added.

    wow… are these your personal % listings, or did you get them from the posted TFA % chart here?
    If someone adds to it, does it show for everyone or just our own?

    thanks

    Just dripped a few dropped and it's still mild/nice flavor. Believe it's steeped ~1 week. What percentage are you mixing? I'm pretty confident in my mix and measure. Wonder if there was a supplier issue. My was purchased from WL in late Jan. When and where did you purchase?

    On the other hand the Cubano is initially at 5%, and needing some dramatic dilution. Perhaps to under 1%.

    hmmm I mixed mine at 3% and it was too strong. I made a 5 ml that i threw out and then re-mixed it at 2% and it was just right after about a week. I got mine straight from TPA/TFA. I have yet to mix the cubano but I will do that tonight.

    Strangeness; about to remix. Try the Cubano at 2% or less. Not a cigar smoker but smelled way too sour at 5%.

    Can anyone comment on this, please?

    Will I ever be able to use TFA Vanilla Custard and NOT taste black pepper? I started at 15%. I'm down to 5% and it's still primarily black pepper.

    I would be assured if anyone else has had this experience and was finally able to get the flavor percentage right and not taste black pepper. I mean it. It's all I can taste.

    One more thing... When I tried TFA Apple Pie, all I could EVER taste was coconut. I know it's me and not the flavoring.

    Thank you!

    Tim

    P.S.
    ... and off the subject. I just noticed today is my first anniversary off the analogs!!! Hurray!
