vanilla recipe

[2naphish]

i use mainly TFA flavors and i am looking for a good strong vanilla flavor. i have TFA vanilla custard,french vanilla and vanilla swirl... can anyone give me a good starting point? i generally use 45/55 pg/vg in my mixes. i haven't done a straight vanilla in a while and have no notes to refer to......i just tried a vanilla swirl @ 10% with a couple of drops of dark chocolate and it really doesn't have the strong vanilla that i am looking for.. throw me a bone y'all.....please

Try the three you have. Maybe 15% custard, 3% vanilla swirl, 2% French vanilla. Sounds yummy I'm a fan of CAP vanilla custard but I'm sure TFA would be good too

3 words vanilla bean gelato haha.Seriuosly,i have been using tfa vanilla bean gelato as a stand alone quite a bit at 5% and it has a nice heavy vanilla flavor to it.

Six to eight percent French Vanilla is pretty good.

This is probably about the best tasting Vanilla I have found so far...
HOLY Vanilla Flavoring DIY

Start at about 4 or 5% and add from there. However, note,, that as time goes by, it will get stronger and better (steeping)
This does need a steep time to enhance the flavor. Make about

10ml
5% Holy Vanilla
2 drops of EM equivalent to 0.1ml (ONLY 2 small drops, do not over do it)
3% Bavarian Cream, or other cream flavor.

Test a little each week and you will see what I mean.

however, I do have a sample of Vanilla Bourbon Flavor Concentrate (TFA) coming this week.
We will see if there is a difference.
You should absolutely try the Holy Vanilla though, and start with a low percentage.

I have found a lot of people wayyy over flavor their juice in my opinion.
And most pre-made bought juices are wayyyyy over flavored for me.

7% vanilla custard
4% French vanilla
2% vanilla swirl

That's a mix for what you have on hand adding some vanillin would do you nicely but remember taste is subjective but I know for a fact tfa vanilla swirl will give a strong chemical flavor at 5% or higher it really over powers a mix.

thanks for the starting points everyone.

This has some cinnamon in it for my tastes, but here is my base, derived from BotBoy141 on reddit so all credit to him, I just tweaked it a little:

•6.3% CAP Vanilla Custard
•15% TFA Vanilla Swirl
•10% TFA French Vanilla Deluxe
•10% FA Vienna Cream
•5% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or Gelato
•2.5% FA Vanilla Bourbon
•1.2% CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl
•15% TFA Bavarian Cream
•10% FA Catalan Cream

If you don't mind a really, really subtle cinnamon tone, leave the Catalan Cream but ditch the Cap Cinnamon Danish Swirl and just put that 1.2% back in as Cap Vanilla Custard V2. It's good right after mixing, seems to be deepening in flavor as it sits but I vape it so quickly...

um....60+% flavors in a mix? what??

Sorry, that was from a thread on reddit where we were already talking about using this as a base - add 30% PG to the above to make it a base. I then add that base at around 9% to a 50/50 PG/VG mix with 3mg nic.

Those numbers still seem off, it should only need 25% PG to round it out as a base flavoring. I'll have to double check - thanks for the catch

nm - readded and the above adds up to 75%, leaving 25% to be diluted in PG.
