The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[b.m.]

You can find somewhat inexpensive glass syringes on ebay.Most of them now are coming from china,so it would be slow getting them,but i seen a 5 pack of 1ml ones a while back for like $7

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

I do have a metal set of tea/tablespoons.. Guess I gotta go convert ml to those haha.. Gonna make up another batch in a bit this way...

Moms a nurse that runs the office for the Dr she works for gonna see if they have any first. He might actually get me some himself if I ask, her boss is pretty awesome. That's where all mine came from here. Just told her I needed like 4 and I think she sent me a few years worth of the BD luer locks!

I saw those as well. The larger sizes get really expensive though really fast.....you know, like the ones I actually use. They were not cheap, as I recall for the luer lock glass ones in 3 10 and 30 ml. Maybe china will help with these but I haven't seen the "cheap" ones yet. If you do see them, let me know (the larger sizes). Thanks!

I've been using syringes for all measurements - drops or ml - and a few of them have started to lock up. tank crackers indeed, I'll have to look into some cheap glass syringes (although they have to still use some kind of rubber on the plunger, right? I have to imagine that's what's degrading first).

But, I finally felt the need to re-up on nicotine (a few dozen ml left), and went with MFS's $40 liter, and threw in a liter of VG too. Quite exciting!

I also played around with some starburst variations (apple and lemon, separately). The apple did well, we'll see how the lemon goes. I used a bit of grocery store Real Lemon, but it wasn't particularly lemony off the bat. We'll see how the 100 drops are tomorrow; I'm all mixed out for the night.

It also turns out the Cream Fantastico is indeed fantastico, it's been my ADV for a couple days now.

What happens to the plastic luer lock on the metal needle? Is it not exposed to the liquid maybe?

 

[b.m.]

Here are a few.Not really a great price,but not horrible.I'm planning on getting at least 1 of each size,just to use with the tank crackers,so i figure one of each will do me fine..

The chinese ones seem to come in odd sizes when they have the luer lock though.Instead of 3ml,they have 2ml,so for that i plan on going with a 5ml,they do have the 30ml though.

That's a good point.I forgot about these,which would eliminate that possibility as well.I need to figure out the correct size,as they list these in metric instead of by gauge,but here is an example.I will be getting some of these the same time i order the glass syringes,that way i have a complete tank cracker set haha.

Actually,this set is very close to the same size as the standard 14gauge needles most of us use.You would just need to cut off or file down the sharp point to make it a blunt tip.

Readeuler,no the glass syringes dont use a seal from what i can tell.They appear to be a friction seal.

Thanks Bill. That's gonna cost me $50. Great deal, but now I need to list something on Ebay.....I can let the Semo/3.1 with goodies go for these and a new Provari 3. That's the plan.....necessity is the mother of invention!!!

On another Topic, our good friend SuperX just posted this one:

I know, off topic, but he is the "inventor" of the micro coil, more or less!

Haha,i know that feeling all to well.Every time i needed a new part when i was working on my camaro,i had to list a part on there,just to turn around and buy what i needed off of there too haha.

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!

Flavor West recommends starting at 15%.
They are known for being weak.
I haven't tried Bill's recipe that baseballmom gave you, but I can see where adding some to a recipe would be a good background fill-in.
Most of their flavorings taste "blah" to me too, but I really like their Vanilla Butternut, Butterscotch, Salted Caramel, Pralines & Cream, and Kahlua ...all solo, at a higher % (15-18%)

 

[b.m.]

I've been thinking about trying that salted caramel,so glad to hear it's a good one.We make a sweet and salty caramel where i work,so i've been eyeballing that flavor haha.

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?

Thanks mom for your acknowledgement of my post. I know my questions were a little off topic. It seemed others were preoccupied a bit. That recipe definitely did help me out quite a bit!

I spent a bit of time in the FW thread and let me just say it's nothing like this one. It seems mostly their flavors are a one flavor mix type of deal or so it seems and the only info you get is 15% over and over lol....
I have a couple recipes in front of me and am about to whip up 3 new juices - wish me luck!

I've noticed that same thing haha.I agree definitely nothing like this thread either,which is weird because those flavors definitely can be used in recipes,but nobody on that one ever posts any haha.Let us know what you think on that yellow cake after making a recipe with it.I've been thinking of getting it because of Bill's recipe that was posted,but it's always nice to hear multiple thoughts before buying a new one.

Hey guys just looking for input. I just mixed this recipe together and I feel like the Cinnamon Danish is overpowering and it almost tastes "dry". I made it 14mg nic so I can add a little flavoring if needed but should I wait 24 hrs or add right away?

Pralines N Cream
To make 10.0mls @ 14.0mg Nicotine(Mls)
Base Nicotine - 1.4
PG : - 0.0
VG : - 6.5
Cinnamon Danish - 0.6
Pralines N Cream- 0.5
Bavarian Cream- 0.4
Vanilla Swirl - 0.2
Em - 0.3
CCI - 0.1
Total Flavouring - 2.1
Expected PG:VG Ratio - 20:80
Actual PG:VG Ratio - 21:79

I was thinking add more Pralines N Cream and possibly more EM.
Thoughts? Thanks!!

Marshmallow does wonders as far as combating dryness in a vape. Been working on a vanilla pudding cream type flavor for a while and a touch of this added moistness

 

[MonicaRae]

I tried the mix this morning and it's much different than when I first mixed it. The Cinnamon Danish chilled out a bit which is good. Still think it needs more Pralines and the marshmallow is a good idea.

On another note this recipe came out awesome (forgive the non-tfa flavors!)

Blackberry - 5%
Vanilla Swirl - 4%
Sweet Cream - 4%
Yellow Cake - 2% (ooops)
Sweetener - 1%
Butter Cream - 1% (ooops)

It tastes great right now but I know in a day or 2 it'll be awesome!

Pralines and Cream has long been one of my favorites, and I've posted it here before somewhere. Here it is again:

Pralines and Cream

Hazelnut Praline - 6%
Vanilla Custard - 5%
Bavarian Cream - 5%
Sweetener - 4%

Sweeten and adjust to taste. Don't think it needs cinnamon Danish, imho....

How could this not taste awesome?????

Substitute any fruit and it would also be awesome, just adjust for fruit percentage. Winner here, my dear!
