Yogurt

[SteveS45]

Hey all DIY'ers! Just ordered some Greek Yogurt flavoring and already working on some new ideas but I would like to hear some of your suggestions.

Please keep on topic and not real concerned with the brand of flavoring but the flavor itself. I know I will make Peach, Blue Raspberry and Strawberry Yogurts but maybe some out there ideas?

Thanks to all who contribute in advance.

I have a small 8mL sample of TFA's Greek Yogurt that I haven't got around to trying yet; so I am watching this thread with interest too.

What pushed me to buy it in the first place was due to the TFA Thread. If you do a search for "greek yogurt," restricting the search to just that thread, you can see the previous mini-discussions, as well as some of the preferred recipes using it, that might spark some additional ideas.

 

[SteveS45]

I do not use the TFA flavorings but I guess I might get some recipe ideas. I got a bottle in a giveaway of TMAXX's Blueberry Yogurt which was the first Yogurt e-Liquid I ever had and it was yummy!

 

[SteveS45]

And thanks for your contribution!

Completely understand . I saw your original disclaimer that you were not brand-concerned. General ideas was all I intended. Though I personally did find some of the discussion surrounding yogurt (in general) potentially useful/helpful. Apparently the Butyric Acid that is used to produce the yogurt-like notes can get pretty disgusting if you use too much (that dirty sock note).

And thanks for your contribution!

No worries! Thanks for starting the thread. Like I said; I want to see what users have to say. I'll shut up and quit polluting your thread to see what develops.
Cheers!

@IDJoel you are not polluting the thread and feel free to chime in and ask questions when someone else posts a comment. Like I said I have some ideas for yogurt type flavors but was maybe looking for some very complex. As to the Butyric Acid I do not think my flavor contains it.

 

[IDJoel]

As to the Butyric Acid I do not think my flavor contains it.

I'm not sure the MSDS is all inclusive. You very well may be right; as I have no idea about LB and their maufacturing or reporting/documenting. But when I checked TFA's site (only because I can kinda/sorta navigate it), their general description, and MSDS, make no mention of BTA; but it does show up on their analysis sheet:

(according to Wiki: "Butyric acid (from Greek βούτῡρον, meaning "butter"), also known under the systematic name butanoic acid, abbreviated BTA")
TFA Source links:
General description
MSDS
Analysis Sheet
Perhaps BTA does not qualify as a "hazardous component" in this usage so doesn't appear on the MSDS.
Again, I am only speculating; I have NO idea.

OK; back to my corner to lurk.

 

[SteveS45]

I will be looking into this more when I have some time @IDJoel and thanks for the input. As you said I do not think BTA is hazardous or toxic so to speak. But like others have said in previous posts everything in moderation.

Bump! Waiting on my Vape mail but should have it by the weekend or maybe sooner. Still would love to hear some ideas for new recipes from others and what flavors they have made using yogurt.

 

[SteveS45]

Received my new flavors on Friday but haven't had time to mix up any yet. Hopefully today I will do some mixing and will go with the same flavors I like when eating a yogurt. Strawberry, peach and pineapple for some to start.

Looking forward to recipes you come up with, LOVE YOGURT! I have the flavorings, but I'm not good with just mixing something up myself as I am following a recipe.

 

[SteveS45]

I would think it should be easy and just adjust the fruit flavors to how sweet or strong you want them. I use Liquid Barn flavors and will start off with the recommended percentage first.

 

[Bonskibon]

You would think so but......... I just haven't mastered it. I do use the yogurt in another clone recipe I make, but every time I try and experiment myself, it's junk. Still learning.

 

[SteveS45]

That is one of the reasons why I make a lot of stand along flavors to see how they taste and then mix the stand alone flavors in a tank to see how they work with each other. Sometimes I will just make a 1 ML sample in a tank for testing and like when I cook add a pinch of this or that. I guess I have been lucky because I have never made any mixes that needed to be poured down the drain but that is why you start simple and not get too complex. At least that is how I approach it using the KISS procedure.

 

[Bonskibon]

Think I'm going to try your method. Thanks for sharing.

 

[SteveS45]

No problem at all and thank you for contributing to the thread and share your results if you like.

 

[SteveS45]

The biggest hurdle for me will be giving it enough time to properly infuse even with heat steeping at first!

 

[Bonskibon]

Yeah, yogurts and creams seem to need more steeping time. I always just let my juices steep naturally as I have enough juices to keep me vaping.

 

[SteveS45]

With tried and true recipes I do let them infuse naturally with time but for new creations I will always heat until they are clear after mixing and have a hard time waiting for them to come to room temperature before I taste test them.

 

[IDJoel]

and have a hard time waiting for them to come to room temperature before I taste test them.

I hear you. I always taste a "fresh mix." To me, it gives me a base-line, to compare it to. Why let a recipe sit for a month when it tastes the same right out of the gate (or a week)? Some certainly benefit from extended resting; but not all.
