The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

A little update on the banana bread. I did 7% banana nut bread and 2% vanillin. At first it tasted like banana candy. I had loaded the 100dt into a mini subtank. Since I didn't like it at first I just sat it aside for a week or so. I put it back on this morning and it has transformed. It tastes a lot more like banana nut bread. The candy taste has gone away and I swear I can taste a touch of cinnamon in the bread flavor. I wouldn't say it's a finished recipe but it must have needed to steep.

Try this one, it's very good. Not my recipe but have been using it for a while.

7% Caramel Candy
7% Banana Nut Bread
3% Ripe Banana
3% Bavarian Cream
2% EM

Does anyone have a good Spiced Apple Cider recipe, something comparable to Johnson Creek's "Spiced Apple Cider"?

Any help with this creation would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Where'd you get the peaches and pears recipe? Can you share?

 

[DingerCPA]

@hittman, I think it's from the dropbox (although I can't seem to find it there....) Somewhere from this thread, tho, and I don't know to whom I should give credit...

Pear - 5%
Juicy Peach - 5%
Cotton Candy - 5%
Brown Sugar - 5%

Smells DIVINE!!!! Haven't loaded any up yet, but I'm looking forward to it. All six are "new" for me.

Even after buy 35 flavors it seems I'm always missing something. I don't have brown sugar. I was trying to come up with a mix a couple weeks ago to copy Agnostic Brew's tribulation. The description is honeydew, peach, and pear I think. Anyway the flavors came out way too strong and sweet at 7% each and I haven't messed with it since.

Why don't you dilute it with some base or pg or vg?bring the percent down

 

[hittman]

I did and it was better but just not right. We've been busy getting my oldest daughter ready to go off to college for the first time and I hadn't had much time to do mixing.

Just some info I found. I know this is a TFA thread, but we also use flavors from other flavor vendors. I also know several have said they want to (or are) experiment with yogurt flavors. For those concerned about diacetyl, this is a reddit thread re FA Yogurt:

https://m.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/341xk3/lets_talk_yogurt/

If it doesn't post, it is under DIY_eJuice, a topic called lets_talk_yogurt on reddit.

If it is not something I can post, I submit my apologies to the mods....

Hey, y'all... I did a little experimenting this weekend and was going for a vanilla flavor. What I came up with seems to taste like a smokey vanilla custardy type of thing. Not extremely custardy, and not too sweet. Thinking about adding a bit of sweetener, but some of y'all may like it as is... lemme know whatcha think...

Smokey Vanilla
Vanilla Custard 10%
French Vanilla Deluxe 5%
Egg Nog 5%
Vanillin 5%
Vanilla Bourbon 3%
Toasted Marshmallow 2%

I don't really like sharing recipes that I personally came up with, but here's one from my personal line. I feel that it's too good NOT to share lol.

Crunchy Berry

Blueberry (Extra) - 8%
Strawberry (Ripe) - 8%
Bavarian Cream - 4%
Sweet Cream - 2%
Marshmallow - 2%
Acetyl Pyrazine - 4 drops per 30ml

Add desired amount of nicotine, finish with straight VG. Shake well, steep for a few days.

LOL... I was diggin' through all of my little wizardlabs bottles and just started throwing stuff together. It could probably use some improvement, but not bad for an off-the-cuff mix... let me know how it works for ya and if you make it better, then I'd definitely like to try whatever you changed. I need to get some Vanilla Swirl... I think that might round it out a bit. But then again it might round out the 'smokiness' a bit, too...

 

[cliffy15]

I've been running out of my most used flavors (VBIC, Honeydew, Sweet Cream, Vanilla Swirl, etc) and a few others and just realized how the honeydew costs more than twice as much as the average flavor (in basically any size). Has anyone else noticed this?

I think I've decided that I am no longer going to be giving away my DIY honeydew to friends. I may have to start charging them the cost of the materials or just keep that recipe to myself ... yow.

I have my first batches using vanilla bourbon steeping right now, but as I was mixing, the VB concerned me - it's so dark! But it does smell good. Anyone know if this is a coil killer?

I've been using it in my Pecan Pie mix and haven't had any problems with it gunking coils. Just started using it a couple weeks ago so nothing long term yet. Refilled my STM a couple times and when I changed liquid the coil was still pretty clean.

Pecan pie?! Care to share? I could go for some of that!

It's pretty good right now but next batch will get a little butter and the sweetener brought down to 2%. If you tweak it Joe let me know if you have good results. My first batch had to much pecan and the vape was dry.

Pecan (TFA) - 5%
Pie Crust (TFA) - 4%
Pralines and Cream (TFA) - 4%
Sweetener (TFA) - 3%
Vanilla Bourbon (TFA) - 2%
Brown Sugar (TFA) - 2%

It's hard for me to say, it seems that most of my juices gunk up quite a bit because I usually use quite a bit of sweetener. But more often than not, I run RDAs, so I don't sweat it too much. Just yank the wicks, dry burn, rewick and juice it up again!
