The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[ItTechy]

Recent requests for nicotine.....just got a notice from MFS....Lowest price I've ever seen:

https://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/unflavored-nicotine-smoke-juice-e-liquid-liter-sale.html

$40 for a liter of 100 mg/ml.....choose your carrier (100% VG for me)....very tempting (but I do have 2-1/2 liters left...).

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Now have a great Black Friday/Family Day!!

I would suggest to any of our DIY out there to get while you can!

This is a GREAT DEAL...one of the best I've seen!

So you that have used the Blueberry Candy flavoring.. Is it milky and cloudy?? I made a 10ml batch yesterday, 50/50, 10mg nic, and while all the other juices come out crystal clear, this one is cloudy as hell.. I can still see bubbles rising when I shake it, but it just looks like I might have done something wrong? Maybe some drops of water from my dripper top got in there or maybe the bottle wasnt completely dry??

Still steeping but it smells normal at least!

I haven't used that flavor,but i do have a few that will cloud up like that when first mixed and shaken up.It should go away in a day or so.

Milky and cloudy? I have had this happen to me with tank crackers. It was the melting of the plastic that I used in the process.

Not saying that is what is going on here for you, but that has been my experience with some flavorings.

Can't remember if that one is a tank cracker or not?

Maybe someone can chime in. Hope Not!

I know im breaking all the rules of the thread but I just got in FW Yellow Cake and for the life of me can't figure out how to use it.
I tried one mix and bleck! The rest of my flavors are TFA and I trust everyone here so I figured if anyone happened to have a recipe using it maybe you could share?

I just need a guildline. Oh and I also have butter cream but I guess it's not that good

Any help would be great!

Yep,it is listed as a cracker,and your theory makes sense.One of the ones i have that clouds up like that is cinnamon,and as you found out,its apparently a cracker,so now that makes some sense as to where the cloudiness is most likely coming from.

Hey Ya'll ....

Like I posted several posts back, get some litmus test strips from your local drug store....

Test the flavorings you use, if they are low pH (acidic), they are usually suspect tank crackers...

Many fruit flavors are low pH due to the citric acid content...

Some flavors will even eventually melt silicone based seals....

Ahh so its a cracker too? My green apple was listed as that too but it came out crystal clear, but I used it in my stainless tank just to be safe..

Oh I'm doing all my mixing in glass 15ml bottles so it can't be coming from there he he..

 

[b.m.]

The list i have has it marked as a cracker,whether itis for sure i can't say.My list may not be completely accurate,as it does not have cinnamon marked as a cracker,but Bill did a test with it,and it melted his tank,so this list could very well be off on some.

I haven't seen a list lately, but cinnamon and cinnamon red hots are definitely tank cracker, melters.

Yeah cinammon and citrus I knew from the get go (since I started on Evods I had to be careful he he).. I've vaped plenty of blueberry that was safe before but this is the "candy" variety so no clue what's so different. None of the flavors I got were listed as crackers at Wizard Labs but I think it was TFAs own site that said my green apple was and that bummed me out.. So far that was my favorite one (still haven't gone over 5% with it yet), but I hate using the steel tank on my KFL. No clue to tell its empty until you just start getting gnarly dry hits!

Monica, here is one of Bill's recipes with FW yellow cake...I don't have this flavor but perhaps this recipe can help you out?

syringes? Any plastic in the process will do it.

You probably nailed it.. Does it start melting that quick? I only sucked up 1ml in a 1ml syringe and it couldn't have even been a minute from start to finish? Does that mean my juice is now contaminated? I'm scared to try it now haha!

It's practically instantaneous. One minute clear delicious smelling flavoring, next moment, milky scary plastic cloudiness in the mix. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt!

 

[Monotremata]

Eeek well thats good to know haha! I had assumed it took some time to kick in but wow.. Ive always played it safe and only put 'suspect' juice in my 2 Protanks so I didnt have to worry. So I take it I should dump out the juice then?? Just wanna make sure I wont be vaping any of these Monoject syringes mom sent me haha..

I really gotta get a glass tank for this Kayfun already.. Hmm just gotta bunch of birthday money.. Somethings clicking here..

I would dump it out, but then again, I don't digest plastic all that well....at my age....what can I say?

Yeah Im thinking that too haha.. Im just a year short of 40 as of yesterday but Im not exactly in the greatest of health myself!!
I guess Ill hold off on this until I decide to make a gigantic batch I can just pour the other 7ml straight into! Whats weird is, I think these come in plastic bottles??
Maybe not, Ill have to go look theyre in a box out in the 'music studio' to keep it all away from everyone and the cats, but I was sure theyre in plastic too.. Either way Ive had one of the best blueberry juices (or actually juices period) ever one of our forum members made up and sent to me and he used Capella Blueberry anyways (didnt know that til after I bought ALL TFA stuff) so Ill just eat the $1.50 and put it aside for future use.. I dont know how Im gonna mix it up, all I have are syringes and none of those really old school glass syringes like they used to make.. Im imagining a pipette would have the same reaction??

 

[PaulBHC]

Do you have any glass or metal spoons? One spoon flavor to 9 spoons base is 10%, 2 to 18, etc.

Different plastic containers are used on the tank crackers, or glass in the smaller sizes.
