MM, I officially dub thee "Knight of the TV order"! I don't think I have ever seen anyone else (VQ excluded) that has tried or has so many of TV's flavors.

I like your recommendations, and I'm with you on the Cinnabon. Umm gooey richness. :)

Not a fan of the fruity flavours, yet. What's Coffee nip? and how does Almond Joy differ from Almond horn?

As for me, I'd like to recommend a nice spicy Chai tea. Here's what I would do to make a single serving of this at home:

1.5 cup of milk
1-2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of black tea leaves (Orange Pekoe or Darjeeling)
1/2 teaspoon of spices​

Now for the spices:
1 - 1.5 inch cinnamon stick.
3-4 cardamoms (with shell).
2-3 peppercorns.
2-3 cloves.
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder.​

The secret behind the success of this recipe, is to let all these ingredients simmer until the 1.5 cup of milk evaporates to 1 cup. Not sure how this translates to in flavourings, but maybe a thicker/creamier Milk mix might work.

Absolultely delicious.

Geoff, you listening? :)

Yeah, I'm listening. The only problem is, we'd have to nix the peppercorn (if a flavoring DOES exist, I just hope it won't irritate the throat badly). Ginger on the other hand, I'll have to find somewhere OTHER than Lorann's. We had a bottle of their Ginger flavoring and I tell ya, it was vomit worthy and smelled nothing like Ginger.

I'm sure Linda has something in terms of a cardamom oil. We'll see what we can do. The ONLY thing is starting another maceration going. And we over here probably just need to convert one of our back rooms into a maceration room for the various things we'll have to start macerating.

But answer to your question Dusty_D, we can look into this.

Markimar, looking over your list, I'm sure there are a couple/few things we could probably consider. What we'd like people to keep in mind is that yes, there are food dishes that taste AWESOME, however, there are a LOT of flavorings that also claim to taste like something and come nowhere close to living up to the claim. We very much try to do recipes if we feel that it's something we can pull off with good degree of accuracy.

In any case, we're staffed enough that I can go "back to the kitchen" and see what we can pull off.

Well a coffee nip is a coffee flavored candy thats like a cross between a worthers original and a good strong coffee. And almond joy would be dark chocolate almond and coconut. Almond horn is a almond pastry. Now I'm trying to remember if a coffee nip had a chocolate center or not? It's been year's since I've had one all I know is it was my favorite candy growing up. Hell now I'm craving one!

Well Geoff I know if anyone can pull off a coffee nip and a York peppermint patty it would be you! I know they got coffee nips in CA cause thats where I grew up!
As for chai I love the drink but I'd have to do clove free on the vape. Clove and cinnamon stick in cartos and attys it's just a flavor you can't get rid of!

French Toast, Waffles, etc., all of these flavors, while we can and will sell it to you as a single flavor in the bottle in the Customize Your Own section, as a premium flavor, we use ALL flavorings, including Capella's, as a base and add additional flavorings as usually by themselves, they're just underdeveloped, IMHO. So, for all premium flavorings, these are flavors where we've taken base(s) and built them out into the final product. Other than the CYO, you won't find anything in our Premium flavors anywhere, where we've stuck a single flavor in a bottle and called it "Premium". That's just cheating to us.

This has been out of circulation for awhile. But with Geoff back in invention mode lets see what he can come up with.

I'd like to see a cantaloupe honeydew melon flavors. Also coffee nip, almond joy, York peppermint Patty, cinnabun for starters! :)

Markimar, I did a CYO York Peppermint Patty. I asked for Double Chocolate, and Peppermint. It came out delicious!

I'd like the original Geoff's Blend back, it's been lacking here lately. Before whatever changed, it was the most tasty and perfect juice I have ever tried.

This is funny. This is one flavor/recipe that has unquestionably NOT changed since we began making it.

Please don't think I am bashing you at all, I have always received top quality juice and service from TV since I have been purchasing liquid from you. The first three bottles I had received of GB, were amazing, the last 2 have been kind of hohum. It's lacking the candy type sweetness and it's very light on the cinnamin flavor. The only thing that I know changed was instead of ordering a regular 10z bottle, I did the same with 48mg/nic and a 4 oz doubler to kind of stretch the dollar/vape spread a little bit. It still tastes good, just not what it was. Maybe some of your mixers make things different than other? I have no idea. Maybe I can put an order in for a bottle and have "The Man" mix it for me to try :)

Geoff,

I would not ask you for something simple, now would I? I would just post it on the DIY forums if it was a simple recipe.

I for one, in my line of work, like to be challenged to keep the creative juices flowing. I do the same for you, with my Chai Tea request. :) If there is anyone I trust to come up with a solution to this in a premium flavour, it would be you.

Consider the gauntlet thrown, amigo. I hope you decide to figure it out.

As for the flavors:
Ginger - Don't you already have a Gingerbread out? I assume it has a ginger you like?
Peppercorn - You may not need it, as I'm sure the cinnamon will provide the "background" spice.
Clove - Correct me if i'm wrong on MarkiMars concern, but there is a plain clove right? As opposed to the clove oil that wreaks havoc on attys?

I do recall some discussion a few months back regarding a premium black licorice flavor, which I know might not be for everyone, but it sounded great to me!

We do have Black Licorice flavoring in stock. Geoff will be adding this premium flavoring to the web inventory shortly. If you want to get the Black Licorice flavoring asap, place an order for any random flavoring and add the notes that you want BL flavoring.
