The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

Perhaps, worth a try! I am not going for a cheesecake type flavor though, just a creamy peanut butter pie. But the cheesecake, in a low percent, might add a nice creaminess to it.

TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust is just the crust, no cheesecake!

I've actually been wondering about that for some time, now. Thanks for posting

The one I've been using just says graham cracker clear on the bottle.

TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust is just the crust, no cheesecake!

From the Flavor Apprentice website:

Cheesecake (Graham Crust)
Water soluble.

This cheesecake is quite different from our original. it has more of a pronounced graham cracker note,
with a tiny hint of coconut.

Ingredients: Artificial Flavors, Propylene Glycol

Larger sizes available in our bulk category.

I believe there is a cheesecake with graham crust flavoring and a separate and different graham crust flavoring. They taste completely different to me and I use the clear graham crust quite a bit, but not the one with cheesecake. In fact, I haven't been able to make a cheesecake with TFA and I've tried many times. Nor, for that matter, have I seen a good DIY cheesecake, though there must be one somewhere. Good luck in your VapeQuests!

Isn't the light strawberry cheesecake recipe yours Bill? I've been using and enjoying it.

 

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

It is mine, and was the best I could do, but I never loved it, and thought it could use more thickness, richness, etc.....why I called it light! I'm glad to hear that you do like it! Many thanks!

 

[hittman]

I like it very much and have been using it for months. It was one of the first recipes I tried from the Dropbox list.

vaping your PB Dream recipe & enjoying it, Bill! It's the first PB juice I've tried to use. I did add 2 drops of honey to the 10 ml mix I made that has been sitting for 2 weeks. It works!

Sounds even better! Glad you're enjoying it. I have to tweak my juice to suit as well. Happy Vaping!

Is that on Dropbox?

I believe it is. Peanut Butter Dream. I got the recipe when it was posted here.

Need quick help. I want to get a scale any recommendations. , just ordered concentrates from tfa along with vg and nic. Was going to use ejuice me up calculator for ml but I think a scale would be better.

If I try any recipes that call for butter flavor, I just leave it out. But this is one reason why I mainly create my own recipes; so many recipes that others create do call for ingredients with diketones. To me, "just a tiny bit" of that stuff is like being a little bit pregnant, or maybe a little bit dead -- any, is too much. And no, I don't know any more about that as a potential hazard than anyone else does, BUT, the *potential* risk -- lung destruction -- is simply too awful to even go near. One of those risks where even a little bit of the risk is too much -- like being struck by lightening -- some people have survived that, but you wouldn't want to bet on it.

And that CAP Van Custard v2... BLECH!!! That stuff is the very definition of artificial tasting. I stick with TFA Vanilla Swirl; if I really want a custard type flavor, then I also add some TFA Bavarian Cream DX -- to me, mixing those 2 together provides a perfect custard flavor. The Bav Cream DX really can't be used at more than 6%, maybe 6.5% tops, or you do get that butyric acid flavor, which is pretty awful -- a great reason for using that one together with the Van Swirl. If you keep the Bav Cream DX at 6%-6.5%, in the background, you don't get that icky flavor.

How much Vanilla swirl with the Bav Cream dx at 6%-6.5%

 

[AndriaD]

How much Vanilla swirl with the Bav Cream dx at 6%-6.5%

Presently, for my strawberries & cream, I use 5.7% DX Bavarian and 4.3% Vanilla Swirl (along with 1.9% CAP Sweet Cream), and the flavor is actually more custardy than creamy. If you wanted less of the custardy flavor, you could probably just reverse those, and use a bit more of the CAP Sweet Cream (which isn't really "sweet"; it tastes like cream).

I got those "odd" percentages because of reducing all flavoring except sweetener in that recipe by roughly 5%, which helps a little with the gunking problem. Originally I used 6% DX Bavarian amd 4.5% Vanilla Swirl, with 2% CAP Sweet Cream.
