The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

Thanks for all the recipes Bill!! After my recent flavor buying binge I have most all of the flavors to make many of the ones that interest me

I think I'm going to get some coffee flavors on my next order. The only one I have now is caramel cappuccino.

Don't use the coffee flavorings so much. However, if I want a dark chocolate flavoring, I need the coffee to get there.

You are quite welcome. There are many, many recipes on this thread from many members. You should be able to find something on this thread that interests you. Many recipes can be found on the dropbox (see my signature line link). Good luck!

I looove a chocolate vape but never have been able to mix a good one. The most I've done is take Good Life Vapor's cake boss and mix a bit in with my diy peanut butter cookie. Capella's chocolate glazed donut is fabulous when mixed with fw yellow cake, inw biscuit and Fa joy (bronuts)

I mixed Bill's snicker's recipe. It's not bad shake and vape but I assume it needs to steep a while?

It's going to be about all you're going to get in 24 hours. Blending is required, but shouldn't need a long steep. If you like candy bars, I think the peanut butter cup, the butterfinger, almond joy, among others are spot on, imho. Good luck to you!

@Bill's Magic Vapor - Have you tried TFA Chocolate Coconut Almond Candy Bar flavoring? The WL website says it's one of a few that are good to go without mixing it with anything except your Pg, Vg, Nic, etc.

However, I tried some tests with different strengths, and never achieved what the name calls it! But I did come up with something else using it, that I made a larger batch of afterall. Added a few more flavorings (although rather large % total flavoring) and came up with what tastes to me like a Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Sprinkles. Tastes good, to my surprise!

I haven't tried that flavoring. You should post your Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream with Choco Sprinkles. Sounds wonderful.

Maybe I will, after I let it sit for a few days and see if it still tastes good! By the way, when I'm vaping quite a few of your recipes that I've made, and the one I just made...I'm finding that I get the best flavor (and can usually taste each ingredient) when I'm only at 3.3-3.4v on my little iStick Mini 10w. Is that normal? My ratio for all my juices is 40PG/60VG which I thought wouldn't let me taste them as well since it's higher VG.

Good point. I mix to a power setting of 10.0 to 12.0 watts. Depending on your resistance, you're probably pretty close to that range.

 

[JCinFLA]

Coils in my tanks are usually 1.8-2.1ohms, though some are infrequently 1.5ohms.

Ok. Well, that's quite a bit lower than I use. I'm vaping my CD right now with a 1.5 ohm coil at 10.4 Watts, or about 4 volts but with lower resistance than you are using. 1.8 ohms at 3.4 volts is only about 6.5 watts. I think it would taste better to me at about 5 volts, or even more. But, taste is subjective, and many people vape much, much hotter stuff than I do, with subohm tanks and very high wattages. To each their own.

I vape everything at 70% VG and 30% PG, and they taste just fine to me. I need at least 30% PG as many of my recipes use 30% flavoring, so I'm pretty much stuck there, but it still provides a great vape, and I believe that is probably about the most common ratio out there. Again, to each their own!

I mixed the snickers recipes last night and am vaping it now. It's really good, good enough to make a larger batch! My problem is I don't have much in the way of chocolate flavors, the double and milk chocolates I used are from wizard labs (brand??)and on the old side, as I've had them a couple years. That could affect the outcome I guess. I'll add the tfa chocolates to my next flavor order as they're in all of the chocolate recipes.

Oh, guess I should have said when I'm "test vaping" I'm at 3.3-3.4v, not just vaping. It's after I've done the 100DT, & have made a small 10-15mL batch to see how the flavors do during the first few days. That's when I'm finding the lower setting helps me taste each flavor the best...to make sure nothing's changed, except for the better, as it blended.

Once it still tastes great after a few days of test vaping, then I make a 50-100mL batch and vape normally for me, which is usually at 3.8-4.1v. It's still not very high, but suits me fine.

Add a couple of drops of citric acid to the mix. It will stop the mix from any substantial changes. The combination of high flavor percentage mixes coupled with citric acid will lock in the flavor as it is at roughly the time of mix. I use this about 75% of the time. A 10% solution in PG is all you need, and a little goes a long way, and will not change the flavoring either. Good luck!

 

[JCinFLA]

Oh, didn't know about that. Good to know. Thanks! I'll try it.

I've been around to see Andria perfect her S&C recipe. I've been able to resist all this time but I am now caving and am going to go look for some Inawera shisha strawberry to try!

 

[Daddy]

All TPA
7% peanut butter (dx)
7% RY4 dbl
3.5% cotton candy (or sweet flavor)
1% AP

Have to say this turned out pretty darn great. Been my all day vape for a week now. Instead of cotton candy I used CAP Sweet Cream. The RY4 is the ingredient I was missing all along.

Big Thanks.

Hey TFA fam. So I'm in a conundrum... I gotta figure out a replacement for my SO's ADV. The B&M is discontinuing their house line and the Admiral's Breakfast (Captain Crunch) is the only thing he'll vape. Anybody got any suggestions to help come up with a recipe?

I'm gonna have to order more flavorings cuz I don't have any cereal type stuff right now. How's the TFA version?
