I saw their site shows TPA and TFA and I am confused...is there a difference?? One is flavour and one is perfume? Wut iz dat???
I mean those thingys we use to make juices...

Linda started The Perfumer's Apprentice before e-Cigarettes came to be.

When e-Cigarettes and DIY started, people quickly saw that Many of the things that TPA sold were GRAS Food "Flavorings". And thanks to the ECF, TPA quickly became a Very Popular place to buy DIY "Flavors"

One is because TPA offered many Flavors that people like Lorann didn't. But also because Linda (and the Entire TPA Crew) was such a Cool Person. And would go out of her way to Help if she/they could.

But just as you are Confused by the name, many Others were I'm sure also. So the The Flavor Apprentice name was created.

And their Website split things into Two Sections. One being things meant to go into Perfumes (or say Soaps or Candles) and the Other was devoted to GRAS Food Flavorings.

Today, just about Everyone here refers to them by TFA. But the Name of the company is The Perfumer's Apprentice. And about the Only people here who you will see call them TPA are Old Timers.

BTW - This is an Example of why People Loved to shop at TPA...

Pizza Flavored e-Juice

How many Flavorings Companies do you know that had an "Under Development" section that were Not for Sale but were offered Free as a Sample?

Here on ecf perhaps many use TFA but not so much on other sites like elr.

I haven't been to the ELR in awhile. Man... They have 127,260 Recipes!

That is Insane. The Last Time I was there I think they had like 25K. And I thought that was Wild!

LOL

I use elr constantly for notes and inspiration. Love the calculator and stash as well. I use BCF wishlist for my shopping list though. :lol:

I used to use the ELR for Inspirations also.

Then One Day I looked in the Mirror and had to ask myself... "Are you Addicted to buying Flavorings?"

:D

Soooo there are 2 different products? and we should use the flavours and not the parfumes for Vaping? Cause I always buy the perfumes from a local vape store...
I ask cause I read carefully but my English are not so good and I want to make sure :D
Just make sure of the ingredients, absolute must is they have to be water soluble. I don't have enough knowledge to read the ingredients ssd(?) sheets so I only order from sites that do that for me. @zoiDman can probably explain the differences much better than I can.

As Letitia said, as long as you stick to "Water Soluble" Flavorings, you should be Fine.

TFA also has a Diketone-Free line of Flavorings. And those Flavorings all start with the Pre-Fix "DX".
