What is your favorite Perfumer's Apprentice flavor...?

[dormouse]

What is vbic?

I like Cherry Blossom

 

[Hrtbrkr1965]

Black Cherry is my fav PA Flavoring! Watermelon is my second! My wife loves the vanilla bean!

 

[Stosh]

Hi Stosh, did you get the PA Absinthe in the oil base or alcohol base?

It's the alcohol base I believe, would have to check back on the invoice to be sure.
But it mixes very easily so I'm assuming alcohol.

Edit: double checked it was the water soluble

What is vbic?

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

 

[texasstar]

Blackberry-pineapple- pina colada and cotton candy ( to add a little smoothness and sweeten up flavors)

 

[dripdaddy]

Some of my faves are,

Green Apple
Ripe Banana
Peach
Peanut Butter
Blueberry Extra
Banana Cream
Tiramisu
Caramel Capp
Hypnotiq

 

[dripdaddy]

I was hesitant about Vanilla because of "This flavor contains one "Custard" ingredient (Acetyl Propionyl)"... but I think I'll give it a try nevertheless.

The new Vanilla Swirl flavor does not contain any of the "Custard" notes.

I just got a big order in from them, and I'm all excited. The only thing I've tried from TPA that I can't vape is the jalapeno, and I love hot foods... This just gives monster throat hit and heat, but no real flavor.

I have tried:
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (very nice)
Strawberry (very nice)
Toasted Almond (doesn't stand alone, but mixes well with vbic, and I'm going to try it with others)
Jalapeno (not good)
Bacon (strange, not bad, definitely not an all day thing)
Pizza (I kinda like it, but also not an all day vape)
Clove (nice additive for tobacco, doesn't stand alone because I don't like licorice)
Dill Pickle (Awesome alone, excellent additive for tobacco flavors, believe it or not)
Hickory Smoke (Tastes like grilling smells, slightly barbecue-y, doesn't stand alone either)

Got in today, can't wait to try:
Cheesecake
Double Chocolate
Milk Chocolate
Cola
Cola Syrup
Vanilla Swirl
Watermelon
Pineapple
Apple
M-Type tobacco

and I bought some sweetener and malic acid to play with too...

I'm totally stoked and getting out my chemistry set as we speak...

I like to try each by itself, then start really mixing and playing.

I love the mountain dew. I can even feel the bubbles. Gonna have to try the double choc.

I can't wait to read your reviews on those!

 

[Wil]

I can't wait to read your reviews on those!

I will definitely be posting them... It's going to take me a couple of weeks to formulate opinions. The watermelon had almost no flavor last night, but after an overnight steep it's doing much better. I think I flooded my taste buds last night playing...

I forgot I had their Mtn. Dew also (it says it's from them on the bottle), because I ordered it from another vendor before I found TPA (great company to work with also, by the way... west coast to east coast shipping has never taken more than three days!). I like the mtn. dew, but it's a little sweet. I'm a dt. mtn. dew junky, so I may continue to look for others. I've had better pre-mixed, but I don't know their source. On the other hand, their new Syrup Cola is very, very good. It's very sweet, like a fountain Pepsi as opposed to that from a bottle/can. Haven't tried the old Cola yet for comparison.

Thanks Wil, I'll keep an eye on this thread

DK tobacco base tastes like turkish delight . I guess i'll get used to it.

 

[zoiDman]

You have a great list.

But what about Sweeteners? Some people like Cotton Candy. I never thought it was sweet enough for me. But I like Very Sween Flavors. If you want very sweet, try some Sucralose.

Also, TPA selles dropper glass bottle. Or at least, they used to. There very handy for your soon to be DIY mixes.

DK tab, and the Tobacco Extract (1 drop to 30ml bottle)

I like to use their smallest pipettes for dispensing flavors. They work well with their 4mL bottles, but obviously not well with the larger ones. I buy everything in 4mL first, then move up to the 30mL if I like it. I also like to use their 3mL dropper bottles for sample runs, and when I hit on something I really like I mix in 10mL or 30mL bottles. The only thing I've liked enough to go 30mL on is a tobacco based mixture I REALLY dig, and hope maybe to market...

I haven't really played with the sweetener I bought yet. I don't find that most flavors need additional sweetening, except perhaps some of the chocolates and acetoin-free vanillas (which I'm really trying to go to). I may be experimenting though because the watermelon seems very weak to me, but not to others, so hoping a little sweetener may help. The standard cotton candy is just ethyl maltol, and I think the sweetener may be also...

I'm also really looking forward to playing with the malic acid, but I haven't quite gotten a good liquid from it. It doesn't want to dissolve at levels I perceive to be sour...

As much as I like most PA flavors, Watermelon just didn't seem to have much punch to it.

If you like Watermelon you should try FlavorArt's Watermelon. 12% Watermelon + 3% Sucralose is Fantastic.

BTW - Mailc Acid has been know to crack clear plastic. Like the plastic used in CE2 or Vortex cartos. Use with cauthing around cartos with plastic parts.

I finally got the Absinthe. It's fantastic! Thanks Stosh.

I really like TPA Cinnamon and Green Apple mix with Menthol drops to get Adam's Sinful Apple.

I also like the Tobacco Flavors. TPA has some very realistic tobacco flavorings. I add the Tobacco Absolute PG to ELPs Turkish flavoring to get a Turkish Blend very nice vape.
