The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

Bill , I meant to ask you this the other day ..in your recipes .. Is it Graham Cracker or Graham Cracker CLEAR ?

I prefer the Graham Cracker clear. It doesn't gunk as bad as the darker flavoring, and it's easier to read in my syringes. The dark, dark flavorings don't show up very well when I'm trying to mix up a batch.

I put some of the smooth flavour in a test batch the other day. 0.5% tis a strong one.

I haven't done much research on different brands of nicotine as actually we only have a few that are extracted here in the U.S.

The last I checked I recalled three companies that were actually manufacturing nicotine, the largest being DOW, the other two I would have to look up.

It is entirely possible that heat or oxidization could cause some discoloration, but normally the chemical composition of nicotine tends to turn to a yellowish brown when exposed to the air, it may be also perhaps be something in the VG.

That would definitely be another possibility,as i get my nicotine in vg,and there are definitely several more vg brands than nic,so yeah not sure which it was but definitely one of the 2 since it was premixed when i got it.

Does smooth actually have a taste of its own? I thought it just smoothed out sharp flavours. I don't have any so have never tasted it.

Oh well this was smooth tobacco , not sure if there is a flavour just called smooth.

There is an additive which is referred to as smooth. I thought that was what you meant.

TFA Smooth is one of TFA's tobacco flavors.
To me, it has absolutely no flavor or taste.
I use it in fruits, as it does seem to add body, and bring the flavors together, but as a tobacco flavor on it's own, ... forget it is what my taste buds tell me.

Playing around and just did a small batch with sweet and tart.
Im getting a fruit tingles vibe ( Australian candy apparently similar to Wonka brand Bottle Caps, and SweeTarts).
think I'll add some with some fruits and such for my next liquid.

Welcome back bbmom! Missed ya, hope everything is working out.

Hello MOM!!

Welcome back. We missed you too!

Mr. Wolf, you might try adding fruits, creams, vanillas and sweeteners to the Sweet and Tart recipe. It's a very good flavoring and has many, many variations that are very popular! Good luck!

Bill, thanks on the advice of trying the sweet and tart with the orange recipe I've been working on. I did a 100dt and added 5% sweet and tart. It brought the flavor a lot closer to what I am looking for. Now I think it's just a matter of tweaking percentages.

Will do Bill.
Don't know if its just me but from the sweet and tart I'm getting sort of a fizzy sherbet vibe.

I have Sweet Tarts flavour how does it differ from Sweet & Tart? also was shopping around for Sour could not find any here in Australia and shipping from O/S is crazy. Anyway noticed TFA site said 20% Malic Acid, remembered it is available in the homebrew stores here cost me $14 AU for 100g + 250g of Citric.
Have just made up 30ml @ 15% of each, now that's sharper than Lemon wow!
I guess now I have nosed my way around the Homebrew stuff, I can feel another mixing hobby calling! the free samples were so good.
