The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[JCinFLA]

Thanks for the update.
I'd be interested if it has flavor fade after several weeks, typical with strawberry vapes.

You're welcome!
I don't know about the flavor fade since I just made mine recently. But, I did talk with Kimberly this afternoon about mine getting stronger and more tart. She hadn't had anyone else say that yet, but agreed with me that it was pretty unusual. She did mention that her husband Shane has been vaping his 8oz. bottle he made, for awhile now, and is down to about 2oz. She said he hasn't mentioned any changes in his, and he has a really good palate, so he probably would notice it. So...maybe it won't fade.

Speaking of fade and strawberry - I make my NannerBerry with TFA Strawberry Ripe, TFA DX Banana Cream, and TFA Cotton Candy, and it doesn't fade over time. I make it for 2 other people, too, and they say they've noticed no fade either. Maybe it has something to do with what other flavorings Strawberry is mixed with? Or at what %?

@IDJoel - got the REAL answer to what OSB are, and how they're different from OSF! Will PM you.

For those of you that like the Arnold Palmer.What percentages are you using?

IIRC I used it at 10%.

Now JC others would like to know also.........if there isn't already a thread for osdiy maybe you could start a thread???



eta I haven't noticed any strawberry fade in my Nannerberry and both the reg strawberry and the Ripe strawberry was used...

Bummer! I just saw that the TFA Recipes Only! thread is closed. I assume due to inactivity. I saw that it was back to the third or fourth page if the recipes sub-forum and was going to give it a bump.

For a long time I had forgotten about the recipes Forum, over the last few months I go there and read the updated Threads/Posts. I forgot that there was a TFA thread over there. The recipes forum seems almost dead compared to some of the others. I know I have several threads over there that I had marked to watch, almost all of them are now locked. I just recently made a few of the recipes from over there, and went to comment, and couldn't. Sometimes it takes me a long long time, to get all the flavors I need for some of them. I guess I don't understand why they have to lock them, would it really hurt the forum to just leave them all unlocked?

There already have been threads about OSDIY (that @IDJoel found and posted about), but they've all been closed IIRC.

Yep, I make mine too, with both sometimes. I always use both in another recipe I make, and there's been no strawberry fade with that one either.

Well, ok. I will start yet another thread about OSDIY. Where else are we suppose to talk about this company and its flavors? Everyone seems to be uncomfortable in using this thread, so I will solve the problem.


OSDIY - flavors, % used and everything else

I started at 8% and found it too "in your face" for my liking. I reduced it to 6% (as a stand-alone) and it is just about perfect. If I want a bit more tea-forward profile; I reduce the AP to 4%, and add 1-1½% TFA Green Tea.

I should note that I mixed this 30P/70V 6mg/mL, and vaped in dual coil DTL tanks, built to 0.5-0.8 ohm builds. I like a cool vape; so I keep the wattage as low as I can, and still allow the coil to perform as intended. Recipe may require adjustment to your own nic levels, equipment, and vaping style (doesn't it always?).

Ok now but wait a minute. You add AP?

 

[FranC]

IIRC I used it at 10%.

Thank you

 

[IDJoel]

Sorry; my bad. AP as in Arnold Palmer... not Acetyl Pyrazine. I wasn't thinking.

OK.Don't take much to confuse me.I do have green tea though.........

 

[IDJoel]

The green tea is totally optional. If you like a tart lemonade-forward Palmer; then you will likely not need the addition. For me... occasionally the lemonade becomes a bit too much for me, so in those instances I can ramp back the Arnold Palmer and add a bit of green tea, and I am good to go again!

 

[FranC]

Good to keep in mind.............

I hate that recipe threads for specific brands get closed at all. People find recipies that work for them h stop looking for awhile. Then they get burt out on those & come back looking for more info, or create something new h the thread is locked. Makes no sense. All that info & no way to comment if someone has additional info. Somethings need to be left alonem. That's how we end up with 5,000 threads for the same thing. Itvs a searchers nightmare.

I received the succulent strawberry from osdiy tonight. I just mixed up a small sample bottle to figure out the percentage I want to use. It smells great. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I've been mixing e-liquid for my sister. Now, I'm on a roll! I'm trolling this thread for ideas. Starting here.

I always have a bottle of Peppermint (5%) and Koolada (2%) mixed up. It's a great change of pace when my all day vape, French Vanilla Creme, and various fruity vapes get a bit tiresome. The Peppermint-Koolada serves almost as a palate cleanser.

Named this MikeADore's Palate Cleanser (for now).

This is my ADV. Your son's friend might like it.All TFA flavors
4% Blackberry
3% Peppermint
1% Menthol

Misplaced my TFA Peppermint temporarily and had to use Capella. Hope it works out ok.

5% Peppermint
7% Coconut
2% Sweet Cream
2% French Vanilla

This is going to be next. But, I don't have French Vanilla.

Which should I use? I have:
Vanilla VZ – SC
Vanilla (Bourbon) TPA
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream FA
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream TFA
Vanilla Cupcake FA
Vanilla Cupcake TFA
Vanilla Custard Capella
Vanilla Custard FA
Vanilla Custard (Pink Mane)
Vanilla Tahity FA
Vanillin in 10% PG TFA

 

[FranC]

DH,Capella's peppermint should work fine.

 

[DancingHeretik]

Thanks, Fran.

Ok. I just googled French Vanilla. It looks like French Vanilla is Vanilla with cream/custard. So, I think I should use one of my Vanilla Custard flavors in that next recipe with the Coconut. Sound right?

 

[FranC]

I'm sure that would be fine. Maybe better even.
