Hello TFA vets. New to DIY. Is EM a liquid? TFA says PG @10%. Does that mean if using 10ml PG you add 1ml EM? 9ml PG add 1ml EM?

The TFA EM is a solution of PG to which has been added 10% ethyl maltol. I use between 1 and 2 % of this mixture in my juice. Using it at 10% would be way too much. Start small, maybe 0.5% of your total mix, then add more if needed.

EM is intended as a sweetener, but really adds a certain mouth feel I like. Used at a high enough percentage, and you get a cotton candy flavor.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is my favorite TFA flavoring. What does black sesame taste like?

black sesame is probably one of TFA's strongest flavors, at 1% it tastes like the south side of a north bound cow. if you dilute it to a 10% solution and use up to 1% of that it can bring a toasty, nutty tone to the party.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! Definitely have a very strong aroma, that's for sure!

Thanks, I smelled the TFA Black Sesame and it scared me I was like a dog that had just been skunked.

I just mixed up TFA bubble gum at 15% with 1% Ethyl Malto............ it turns a pleasant pink color and taste just like a big ole piece of bubble gum. I got this flavor as a free sample from Wizard Labs.
:laugh:

check the bottle, it's probably loranne's. WL caries some LA flavors.

Hi guys, I'm new to DIY. Has anyone used or know what the recommended % range is for Original Carmel and Vanillin Crystals 10% PG? I didn't see them on the list posted above and based on TFA's website it looks like they may a little stronger than a regular vanilla or caramel.

I'm going to mix them with RY4Double aiming for a straight tobacco, caramel, vanilla flavor to get close to ECB's RY4 DXF add Caramel add Vanilla liquid that I like. I've seen a lot of people mixing RY4D with Vanilla Swirl and Caramel Candy but I don't really want the added creaminess of the Vanilla Swirl or the added sweetness of the Caramel Candy.

Vanillin Crystals 10% I use at 2-3%, let it steep for a little bit and it gets a nice flavor

Good point I did not think of, I have only used it as a mixer, have not mixed it on its own
Thanks Steve... I mixed up 5ml at 10% RY4D, 3% Caramel, 3% Vanillin. That might give me a little room to tweak it, I mixed some RY4D at 15% about a week ago and it's a tad weak for me.

I'm diggin' the Pizza at 5%. Tastes like you scraped all the sauce, cheese, and oregano off the crust with you hand an shoved it in your mouth - very strong, very satisfying. Maybe others can taste crust but I don't (and that's just fine).

To each his own and no disrespect intended, but... The thought of vaping pizza doesn't appeal to me. Maybe someday?

Tracker II: glad you like it.
