Acetyl Pyrazine... What do you use it for?

[ellejewell]

Hey all, I've been DIYing for a few months now and I am trying to figure out how to use this stuff? I understand it's purpose, but I just can't seem to decide on a recipe to give it a shot in. So I am wondering what sort of recipes do you use it with. ie bakery, desserts etc.

I have been wanting to make a cookie dough recipe that does not actually use a sugar cookie flavor so I am wondering how everyone else uses this additive to see if it will work for this recipe and if not to decide how I might use it in others.

I have used it with TFA RY4 Double to get close to the flavor of Halo Tribeca. I use it in very small quantities - a couple drops per 30ml. If you use very much, it will make your liquid smell like Fritos, but a tiny bit adds a sort of nuttiness.

watching this for ideas too - I think I understand it adds a fullness, sort of a nutty flavor...

I'm famous in these parts for my southern cooking (and hoping those instincts work for DIY juice lol) - and I use something called Kitchen Bouquet in brown gravy, stew, pinto beans, and other things that need some "brown" depth. I think AP may be something like that.

I just watched a vid of a guy making Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Cone and he recommended AP to bring out the "sugar cone" flavor.

It simply enhances nutty/bready type flavors. If you can taste the AP you used too much.

I swirl it in with a toothpick in test recipes. Or dilute it as it is too strong at 10% for me. So I take 4mls pg and 1ml AP solution. Then use that in my bakery recipes. Usually under 1% for my tastes. Often at 1drop per 10mls.

And I am super new at this mixing stuff as well. But I study voraciously.

@KattMama That is very interesting. I'm not the best cook in general but I think I do a fine job at DIY I like the chemistry behind it. With AP I tend to get an almost monkey bread type flavor from it in very mild diluted amounts. It is good stuff. I try to think of making ejuice as following a cooking recipe but trying to figure out what flavors could be replaced for certain ingredients can be a challenge.

 

[KattMamma]

LOL yeah I thought "I can do this" and just made up my own recipes right off the bat. Somehow I got lucky and my first one was actually good - the 2nd and 3rd were nasty LOL. After that, I started using recipes, but adding my own tweaks and doing substitutions. So far, so good. And now I think I know what I did wrong on the 2nd and 3rd recipes, so I am thinking about going back and "fixing" those.

Monkey bread! Now I'm hungry... I LOVE breads!

Here's a bunch of recipes on .................... that use AP. I cannot attest for how good they are but it should give some starting points.

Many use AP to add nuttiness to tobacco recipes. It is potent IMO and I usually use it at 0.5% to start.

Awwww Nuts!

A few of the five pawns clones have AP in them (gambit, castle long).

Perhaps look at those ingredients for pointers.

Hello. Could I ask a couple questions here about mixing your own e-juice?

 

[Alter]

I used 1 drop per 10mls of the AP in a hangsen tobac and it was strong, too much nutty. I mixed my AP 50/50 with some PG so it was easier to work with, then 1 drop per 10ml was just dandy. I find it a nice change to add a drop of AP to one of my mixes to change up the taste a bit.

I need to know about using Lorann's little dram bottles 3.7ml of candy baking flavoring. How does this stack up against a Lorann 10 or 15 ml bottle of flavors you buy from a vendor???

 

[ellejewell]

@waverunr2001 I don't use Lorann flavors so I couldnt help you with that. I would suggest TFA, Flavor West or Capella you will have more DIY options. Most Lorann flavors are unsafe to vape so you will be severely limited on what you can create.

 

[waverunr2001]

Were could I find what is safe to vape and what's not?

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Here's info on Lorann's flavors @waverunr2001 (Store purchased 3.7mt dram bottles would be the same you'd get from ecig vendors in 10-15ml etc)
