The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

Haha,i clearly misunderstood,that definitely has to be the one haha.

On a serious note though,one of the juices i have made is a serious plastic eater,and it kinda scares me because after seeing the damage it done,i don't want to vape it,but have no idea which one it was.
I have a bunch of tanks sitting on a wood stand on my tv stand.My alarm clock is sitting in front of the tank stand.There are probably 15-20 tanks sitting there,and over time most have leaked a bit.I moved my alram clock today,and noticed the plastic all across the bottom was melted,this is pretty thick heavy plastic.Luckily,most of the tanks that are sitting there with juice in them is because i didn't like the juice,so never grabbed that one again,and i've just been to lazy to clean them all out,but i still want to know which one ate my clock haha.

When I was growing up, those were wood with square wheels.

What ever the hose in a Reo Grand's bottle is made out of Ripe Banana will do a number on that as well.

Good to know.I don't use banana much,but i never even thought about the sqounk tubes.I believe the tube in the Reo is silicone,i'm not positive though.

 

[ghola1was]

Apple (Tart Granny Smith) used to crack the plastic lining in my Evod tanks back in the day.

I'm fairly certain that Ripe Banana would take rust off of chrome rims. That stuff is a mean bunny rabbit.

I have a friend who I mix for who sqonks and he uses the regular banana that I mix for him with no problem but I wouldn't even try the ripe.

Easy, it's the empty one with a hole where the plastic should be.

Yeah,that's the problem,all my tanks are glass,so if one of those has a hole in it,then i got some serious issues haha.

If you want to take that juice to a whole new level,there is a Tribeca clone posted in the recipes section that is great.It's been my adv ever since i found the post about 4 months ago.

12.5% Ry4 double
2.5% graham cracker
2% acetyl pyrazine
3% ethyl maltol

I can't remember who posted it,but it is almost identical to the real Tribeca,and it's a great juice.

I finally got around to trying this, and have to say it's a really great juice, and very close to Tribeca. I left it overnight before trying it and my only issue now is it's a tiny bit sweet in comparison. I'll let it steep for a week or so before drawing any conclusion, or make any change in the recipe for the next shot at it. It's great to have this as an option and goes high up my list of recipes to keep.

Can't wait to place my next flavor order for some ap and gc (and to stock more ry4d/em) to be able to try it.

If it's a little too sweet,i would cut back on the em a little,maybe even cut it by half,since the ry4 double has some sweetness to it too.
Here is another version i have saved in my notes.One of these 2 was nearly identical to the bottle of the real stuff i had,but i can't remember which one it was,and just stuck with that other one haha.This one is nearly the same,just a small bit different on %

Ethyl Maltol 3%-5%
Acetyl Pyrazine 2%
TFA Graham Cracker 3%
TFA RY4 Double 13%

I haven't tasted it yet,but the sweet tea smells just like tea,and i have seen others say it tastes very authentic.The only tea flavor i have tasted so far was a peach sweet tea pre mix,and it was very good,but i don't know what brand of flavoring they used.

I recently had to do the same.After i knew i like the juice and was using it as an adv,i went to make more and realized i was out of ap,and almost out of Ry4 double.I had to make a flavor order immediately haha.I go through a lot of ry4d though,almost every juice i like has it in it,so i buy 4oz. bottles,but my next order i'm going big and getting the 32oz. haha.

I got thru a lot of that one also and plan to buy at least 4 oz on my next order. I have also been going thru a bit of butterscotch and cin dash swirl for my deadly sin clone.

I have used TFA's Earl Grey, Green and Black. Both the Earl and Green are keepers. The black... not so much.

The Eal Grey is really versatile. Used in higher percentages (10-13%); is gives a very true Bigelow earl grey tea flavor with the oil of bergamot note being pungently forward and true. Used at lower percentages (1-2%) in tobaccos; it adds a floral note that I have been searching for trying to replicate pipe tobaccos. It is much more subtle in this manner and plays quite nicely with the grassy and fruity notes I am trying to bring out without dominating the overall mix.

The Green Tea flavor is a good all-around tea flavor. I'm not sure I would describe it as "green" per se; as It is rather on the "bold side. To me it is more of what the Black Tea should be. But it is a good general "tea" flavor that I use between 5-13%. This is a good 1:1 alternative to the Earl Grey when you are not looking for the bergamot note.

The Black Tea I haven't had success with. To me; it has a dirty, dusty, almost petroleum-like flavor that lingers. I have to admit that I haven't spent a lot of time with this one as first impressions were not favorable. Other may have different experiences with this one.

That's pretty much how I was mixing it already. I don't do half percents. To me, after it steeps for a little bit it's not that sweet with 3% EM.
