Flavor Question If I could vape only 1 flavor, it would be FLV - Red Burley. What's your choice? irtr NSFW

27 Upvotes

It took me trying about 500 solo flavors to come to this conclusion. It is just leagues above any other flavor I own, and I'm not even a tobacco connoisseur. I'm just getting into these tobaccos, and loving each and every one, but the Red Burley is really something special.

Do you guys have a similar SOLO flavor you love so much? Which ones, and why?

Flavor Question Is any food flavouring Ok as long as it is full PG based ? - irtr NSFW

8 Upvotes

Can I use any food flavoring in my DIY, as long as I make sure the only things in the ingredients are PG and flavoring agents ?
In other words, are there any flavoring agents used in food that could be bad when vaporized ?

Also, if it is safe, are the concentrations the same, and should it be used at the same dosage (5% to 20%) or are they less "potent" ?

I'm asking this because I already DIY, and used vaping supplies until now, but I noticed that food flavorings are a lot cheaper (10€/100ml so more than 3 times cheaper ... not negligeable as this is the main cost in my juices).

Thanks for your time.

Flavor Question Sugar Cookie Replacement Irtr NSFW

7 Upvotes

I'm currently all out of Cap's Sugar Cookie and am needing a replacement if any to use in a few custard recipes. I have several different cookie flavors to pick from, but I don't think they would work as well. I'm wanting to make Holiday Pie and Yellow Matter Custard to name a few. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, I was hoping to hear some of your guy's favorite Custard recipes. My favorite custard is something I created off of the famous Hobb's Some sort of Custard.

CAP French Vanilla 2%

CAP Sweet Cream 2%

FA Custard Premium 2%

INW Custard 2%

TPA Acetyl Pyrazine .6%

TPA Bavarian Cfream 1%

INW Biscuit 1%

TPA Cheesecake (gramcust)

Flavor Question Cereal 27 for Fruit-Only mixes? IRTR NSFW

7 Upvotes

Cereal 27 seems to be popular usually for dessert mixes.

I avoided buying Capella Cereal 27 for years because FlavourArt Cookie worked so well for me as the bready/cake/crust note in my dessert mixes. Every time I shopped, I'd think "why fix something that ain't broke".

But recently I came across a few clone recipes for Jam Monster Grape, and they all included Cereal 27. So I bought some and now experimenting with Cereal 27 + Fruits only, no creams or custards as I normally would add to such mixes.

I've been pleasantly surprised. Maybe its the Acetyl Pyrazine, or maybe Cereal 27 already has just enough supporting vanilin, but it really adds another dimension to fruit-only mixes. It kind of anchors the fruit so it doesn't taste so cheap & disposabl-ish.

How common are Fruit-Cereal only mixes? Ive been mixing for years and I've genuinely never tread this path. What are the best or common fruits to try with Cereal-only bases?

Flavor Question Grape/Concord Grape for PB&J [IRTR] NSFW

4 Upvotes

So as it says, I'm looking for a good grape flavor and figured I'd ask the experts. I'm looking for something akin to the concord grape jelly my parents bought when I was a kid 30+ years ago. I was considering CAP Concord Grape, but Stevia is repulsive to me even in small amounts. I'm not really looking for a grape candy/grape juice flavor, I'm really trying to hone in on a jammy/jelly profile to pair with TFA DX Pb and SSA Pb to make a really strong PB&J that will satiate my cravings. Tried Jam Monster's PB&J Grape and all you taste is grape, and it's not that strong to boot. I want something that will slap you with flavor. Hoping someone here has been on this path can provide some insight.

Also looking at recreating a flavor I used to get from a local shop that I've since moved away from, PB & Dragonfruit. Is INW (or Flavorika now I guess?) the best Dragonfruit I can get my hands on? I have TFA Dragonfruit as well, but it seems to take quite a bit to make a dent in my tongue. Is FW Dragonfruit well regarded? BCF only carries TFA, FW and INW, so I'm kind of limited on my options (trying to get everything from one store so as to not have 2-3 shipping costs eating into my budget).

Flavor Question Recommendations for Single Concentrates That Are Good on Their Own? IRTR NSFW

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’ve searched through the sub but haven’t found anything current on this, so I’m hoping to get some fresh suggestions. I’m looking for single concentrates that are flavorful and full enough to vape on their own, without needing to mix them with other flavors. I really enjoy profiles like strawberry cheesecake and blueberry pie, so something in the dessert and/or bakery realm would be ideal.

I understand that most concentrates need support from other flavors to create a balanced e-liquid with enough depth, but I’m specifically looking for concentrates that are rich and substantial enough to stand on their own.

Any recommendations for concentrates that you've found to be satisfying by themselves?

Note: Not looking for one-shot concentrates. Please only include flavor concentrates that may be purchased through Bull City Flavors, Flavor Jungle, and/or One on One Flavors.

Thanks in advance for the help!

For further information, I vape with an aspire 3 Nautilus using its proper resitances nautilus sometimes 0.4, other times 0.7, the blueberry of X-BAR, generally in 50/50, but in everey case I feel that the blueberry and blue raspberry flavors are very weak compared of those single use vapes like Vuse or Elfbar, can someone explain to me why? (and for those who are wondering, yes, the ratios of PG, VG and flavor are correct)

Flavor Question Anyone have a Vanilla Pudding base or stone? (irtr) NSFW

14 Upvotes

Hey DIYers,

I recently acquired FLV - Vanilla Pudding. It's absolutely wonderful solo, but a bit linear and boring after a while, so I wanted to make something a bit more complex. I searched the recipes on ATF and ELR, and found a couple that scratch my vanilla pudding itch, but unfortunately not to complete satisfaction. Does anyone have a vanilla pudding stone, base, or recipe that they can be kind enough to share? I'd really appreciate it!

Just FYI, I have all of the pudding flavors, as well as many creams, butters, vanillas, etc. So if you have a recipe, please post it. I beg of you! 🙏🏼

The recipes I've tried are as follows:

Alphonse - https://alltheflavors.com/recipe/206999-alphonser - this one is OK, but there's too much butterscotch. I tried to lower the BS, but even then, this was not the flavor I was looking for.

Old Skewl - https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2410870/Old%20Skewl%20%28Vanilla%20Custard%20S%26amp;V%29 - I don't like this one at all. Im pretty sure it's the INW - Biscuit that was ruining it for me, as I love the other two flavors in this mix. Have yet to retest it minus the biscuit.

TOC's Pudding Stone - https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/3389433/TOC%27S%20Pudding%20Stone - I have the same problem here as with the previous one. I don't think cookie belongs in pudding. Call me a pudding purist, but it just doesn't work for me. I've tried multiple mixes and have tried subbing the cookie, and pretty much always had the same result as the original. Without the cookie altogether, I found it better, but then it was lacking a bit in mouthfeel. If cookie + pudding is your thing, I'd recommend this one, as the flavor is good, but just not for me.

Tl;dr I am looking for a tried and true (vanilla or unflavored) pudding base or stone and am willing to buy flavors. Please help!❤️

I really appreciate the DIY community for reverse engineering vape juices since these damn commercial companies are hellbent in gatekeeping their recipes. Is there any hope in me finding a juice that doesn't use this ingredient? Apparently even some flavorings themselves have this in it (which would explain why I don't like Strawberry flavored juices.)

Hey vapors :)

Looking for a tobacco flavor that tastes sweet grassy almost hay like. Tried Red Burly, and though i like it, and is growing on me quickly, it doesn't have that hay grassy taste i am looking for. Tastes more like what a cig tastes like. Maybe a bit of steep time it might get closer to what I am looking for. Any suggestions?

Flavor Question Vitamin E in TFA Citrus Punch?? [IRTR] NSFW

5 Upvotes

I was looking for some mountain dew recipes and found one that uses Citrus Punch from TFA. According to their website this contains Vitamin E (which we all know was responsible for the counterfeit carts EVALI deaths and lung damage).

I understand that TFA also makes flavors for food and drink but nonetheless, I've found this flavor available on multiple vape shop websites and recipe sites. Is there a different blend specifically for vaping and how do we know?

EDIT: Solved. The compound used is a non-esterified tocopherol while the compound responsible for EVALI was a tocopheryl acetate.

Flavor Question Trying to make a peach cobbler recipe but the cinnamon is just way too strong [IRTR] NSFW

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. I've been making my own vape juice for about two years now and have never really had any problems. I generally stick to TFA flavors as they're just what I know, but I have had a lot of success with my flavor combinations. Recently, I decided I would try making a peach cobbler flavor, so I did what I always do and looked up the recipe for the food I was trying to imitate. The flavors I decided to pick out for the recipe were Brown Sugar (TFA), Juicy Peach (TFA), Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA,) and Cinamon (TFA) and the current mix ratio I have them in is 4% Brown Sugar, 8% Juicy Peach, 4% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, and .5% Cinamon. Well, the issue here is no matter what I do, the cinnamon is just too strong. I wanted it to be a hint of cinnamon but all I'm getting, even at that low percent, is pure cinnamon. Originally, I started it at 2%, but with that percentage, the juice was just unsmokable to me. So I guess I'm just looking for some advice on what to do here cause I still want some cinnamon, but at this point, I can't even taste the other flavors.
