Capella versus TFA Flavors

[Lannie]

I didn't have time yesterday to update, but my flavors from WL got here YESTERDAY (a day earlier than expected). I wish I hadn't been so busy, so I could have played with them and made some juice. Today I will.

However, the 4 oz. Capella flavors came in plastic bottles just like the TFA flavors. Three of the 1 oz. bottles were in glass, but all the rest were plastic. It was haphazard to say the least. Like I said, it doesn't matter to me, but there was no rhyme or reason to it. 2 of the 1 oz. glass bottles were Capella, and 1 of them was TFA. But it doesn't matter! I can now make mass quantities of Snickers and Moon Sugar and Fruit & Flowers and Strawberry Cupcake and Strawberry Cheesecake (yeah, I like strawberry!), and I'm even going to try that Panty-dropper one. I'll have to think of a better name for it, though.

I'm glad you got your order on time. Glass versus plastic containers may just depend on flavor type... Not sure but I received the 2 of the 4oz Capella flavors in Glass and the 1 4oz TFA in plastic. I envy your flavor stock... You have some sweet taste and I wish I was nearby so we can share. I need to make friends like you in my neighborhood.

Yeah, well, I did forget a few. But I have enough to get me by until the next flavor order.

As I edited above, I received my order 2 days after WL shipment and I'm located in the West coast. ~$9-$10 shipment fees for 90ml of liquids, with 2 x 30ml in glass bottles. So WL is doing a pretty good job time wise. The 4oz V2 flavors of Capella are in clear glass bottles, while the DX flavor of TFA is in a plastic container. Rather than ordering the caramel DX concentrate from TFA like I did last time, I got the V2 caramel flavor from Capella.

You got Capella's V2 Caramel 4 oz in glass? I got the exact same flavor and size, and it's in plastic. How weird. I guess it depends on who's doin' the bottling, huh? LOL!

That's unfair... They may have just used the last glass bottles they had for my order. Hold on... Now that I'm having a second look, the 4oz V2 Capuccino and DX TFA Bavarian Cream are in glass bottles, while the V2 Caramel is in plastic. It doesn't make any sense now that we are talking about it. I may call WL to have some clarification.

It IS getting to be the end of the year... maybe they're just trying to use up the bottles they have before they have to re-order. Inventory and all that. So maybe they're going into whatever needs to be used up.

Just mixed up some Grants Custard clone juice.

I will of course not know it it tastes like the real thing or not since I have never had Grants Custard. But most custard nuts like it.

I made a perfect clone of a Cuttwood juice a while back. I'm actually quite proud of it.

Please share your recipe.

OK, but it's long...

8% TFA Fruit Circles
1% TFA Vanilla Bean Gelato
1% TFA French Vanilla Cream
1% TFA DX Bavarian Cream
2% FW Yellow Cake
1% FA Cookie
.5% FA Hazel Grove (hazelnut)
.5% acetyl pyrazine

I started out with someone else's "guidelines" to use the Fruit Circles, 2% to 4% cream(s) of your choice, and a bit of cookie. I used three of the creams I had on hand, and added the yellow cake, the hazelnut, and the acetyl pyrazine based on hints and tips I'd gleaned from reading other threads (and even a flavor review) where people were trying to guess what might be in it.

Now, maybe this isn't the actual recipe for that juice, but I have some of the original, which I absolutely LOVE, and I can't tell the difference between that and this stuff I made. You DO need to let it sit for a while for the lemon in the Fruit Circles flavor to dissipate or meld in with the other flavors. Whooeee, at first it's overpowering, but it starts to mellow after a couple of days.
