Has anyone been able to work TFA cheesecake into a recipe that actually tastes good? My strawberry cheesecake attempt is kinda gross.

I find their "cheesecake" to be particularly unpleasant while the "cheesecake with graham crust" is fantastic.

Ahh, the dreaded TFA Cheesecake... I find it unbeareable at concentrations above 2%. Some recipes that I have tried and found more or less pleasant: 2% TFA Cheesecake / 7% TFA Blueberry Extra / 3% TFA Blackberry, 2% TFA Cheesecake / 7% TFA Blueberry Extra / 4% Inawera Raspberry, 2% TFA Cheesecake / 8% TFA Graham Cracker Dark.

Loranns cheesecake is the best cheesecake flavor I've found.

I use about 3% TFA Cheesecake in a mothers milk clone, but I haven't tried any other ones yet. I only ordered it because they were out of the Lorann, but it seems to be fairly spot on,

TFA cheesecake tastes great... If the desired outcome of your juice is to taste like lip balm.

I had the TFA cheesecake with graham crust. I wasn't keen on the taste, and something in it made me cough on several attempts, so I turfed it. Had much better luck with Capella NY cheesecake.

1-2% crust and 15% Ry4 Double is pretty good.ayne even better with some fruity hints

Are you talking about "Cheesecake, New York Style" or is it just "Cheesecake"?

TFA Cheesecake

Ok, I've been having some luck with TFA's Cheesecake NY Style at around 5%, but I guess from looking around that the regular "Cheesecake" is one of the notorious "super-flavors" that can be as much or more that 10 times as potent as other flavors. My go-to example of this is TFA Caramel Cappuccino. At 3% or more it tastes like a burning pile of dog parts, but if you can do accurate percentages at 0.3% and under, you may find that TFA CC actually tastes pretty good at about 0.2%. My advise is either break out the borosilicate pipettes, or dilute your cheesecake flavor at a 1:4 ratio, (5ml flavoring to 20ml PG,) and try 1% of that, (which would be 0.2%.)

Worth a shot. I'll try a mix tomorrow and see how it goes. Thx

No luck here. I ended up going with LorAnn's Cheesecake for recipes that I need it in. I didn't want the graham cracker taste, so I never got that version. I wish LorAnn's was as cheap as TFA though, only downside.

I used 8% cheesecake in mine and is no good. As mentioned above I think it needs to be used in trace amounts. I diluted the hell outta that mix with VG and mixed up a new one at 0.5% and it doesn't smell wretched which is promising. so imma let em steep and reevaluate.
