woah woah woah...Blackberry at 6%?!!?!?!
Are you freakin crazy homes?

I found it to be overpowering. I think it is best at 2-4%

Yeah, I smoked a lot longer than you've been alive... so I probably have a few taste buds that haven't been resurrected yet.

[Magikhat]

I have coming in the mail
Honey dew
Honeysuckle
Cantaloupe
Strawberry-la
Sweetner
Vanilla swirl
Root beer

I was going to mix the vanilla with root beer

Anyone else know how I can combine some of these flavors?
I want it to taste good but not like juicy fruit gum ya know?

 

[Vappa]

I still need a few ratios for the following flavors, so that i can make them before Christmas. Does anybody have them for me? Is't about:
- Egg nog;
- Belgium Waffle.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

(Edit: Removed waffle dough, this one isn't of PA)

TFA Egnog I use at 10% with a little vanilla. It's not killer though so you could go 15% or 20%, depending on taste.

 

[Vappa]

Thanks Bill!

Is TFA and TPA the same flavorings. I generally get TPA from Wizzard Labs, but recently ordered some flavors from TFA direct. Bottles are much smaller for the same price as the larger size from Wizzard

Strawberry and Honey Dew might be good, as well as Strawberry and Vanilla Swirl too (Maybe some sweetener to the first mix)

Yes TFA = TPA.

So you bought large bottles from both Wizard and TFA direct, and Wizards Lg. are larger?

Yup! Strange, isn't it? Wizard is a very good supply source

 

[graybuck]

The flavorings I received from TFA are exactly half the size as Wizzad for the same price. I only ordered direct as I could not find a couple of these flavors on Wizzards web site. At the same time I added a few I was low on. Boy that was a mistake. I was hoping these may be more concentrated.

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Yes, very! How do you get large bottles from Wizard, don't see them on the site so I assume you ask before ordering right? What size does he state they are, and what size does TFA sell?

So Wizards are larger for the same price, but are they as concentrated? Have you directly compared two of the same, with same amount of everything else?

TFA is $1.40 for 4ml and $3.80 for 15ml.
Wizard Labs is $1.49 for 8ml.
Both are in glass vials.
TFA only becomes cheaper if you buy 1 oz. (30ml). TFA does offer lots more flavors and also some concentrated flavors and non-pg flavors. Most flavorings from Wizard are manufactured by TFA.
Packaging and Customer Service by WL is excellent.

OK, I'm a noob, so go easy, but my understanding is that TPA is the original company and when they discovered that vapors were using their product, they created/split TFA to accommodate us, meaning they researched what works and what is or isn't safe for vapors, so some TPA flavors are not recommended for vaping and all the TFA are 'assumed' to be safe?

Does this sound right?

 

[glassmanoak]

This is my opinion, for what it is worth:
I assume that vaping nicotine in a PG/VG base is safer than smoking cigarettes. There just isn't enough scientific proof yet. It just hasn't been long enough nor have there been enough scientific studies done yet.
Of all the hundreds or even thousands of flavorings, extracts, oils, etc, surely some will prove to be harmful. For example, diacetyl was used in flavorings for some time and it is now assumed to be unsafe.
Bottom line... I believe vaping is safer than smoking and I'm willing to take the chance of using flavorings to help keep me from smoking. My working premise is to use the flavorings I like and watch the forum for clues to what I might choose to cease using.
So, is vaping flavors safe??? Nope, but I will continue to do it and thank God I lucked upon vaping!

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Thanks for the info Glassmanoak!

So only go direct if you need super large 1oz bottle, or no other vendor (or WL) is carrying the flavor you are looking for.

This is what I was dealing with: getting a 4ml bottle for the same price as I got an 8ml bottle at wizzard. Half as much for the nearly the same price. And you can get a discount at WL if you use the ECF coupon. (last I checked)

What is the code, just ECF? I looked around a few times and never found any, and I'm pretty sure I I've tried EFC/ecf too and neither worked. Can anyone confirm there is a working code right now? Thanks!
