Want to buy 10 essential flavors from TFA

submitted over 10 years ago by HomoeroticDog

I'm not sure which flavors to get, I want to get maybe 10 essentials from TFA to make fruit and candy flavors. I'd also like some additives but am not sure which ones to buy.

Can someone give me a list of the best flavors from TFA for making fruit and candy flavors?

I've been making juices out of the lorann flavors I got from bulk barn but nothing outstanding has come out of it so far.

I strongly suggest you buy to follow specific recipes. Buying a bunch flavors to "make some stuff" doesn't work well. If you pick up only one "additive", I would suggest TFA Cotton Candy (Ethyl Maltol, a very common sweetener). This increases the "perception" of sweetness, but dulls some flavor notes over time. If I had to pick 10 flavors that I use often in sweet candy or juice flavors, they would be:

Strawberry
Strawberry Ripe
Dragonfruit
Gummy Candy
Kiwi Double
Juicy Peach
Lemon
Black Currant
Raspberry (sweet)

I have tried and love all the flavors you listed except two. If you don't mind can you explain the flavor notes in the black current and raspberry? I'm about to do another bulk order and might throw those in out of curiosity.

Blackcurrant is a tart/astringent berry. It's best when used to accent other berry or fruit flavors(or a sour candy). The raspberry is similar but complementary with its strong sweet flavor. Actually if you added pomegranate you could use the lemon as well for a pompom clone recipe.EDIT; I'd like to add that I think there are better flavors than I listed from tfa, but he specified candy. Bavarian cream gets used in 1 out of every 10 recipes I've ever seen.

I'd suggest a creme de menthe to add a small percentage for a hint of mint in your candy vapes!

These are my favorites:

TFA - Juicy Peach (amazing)
TFA - Ripe Banana
TFA - Ripe Strawberry
TFA - Watermelon
TFA - Strawberry

Flavors I personally have avoided since I tried them below:

The first two were harmful to any recipe I tried them in, even at very small percentages (even a drop or two) or less than 1% (either hurt the recipe or I dropped the percentage to such a low amount that I couldn't really tell it was there).

TFA - Cotton Candy
TFA - Gummy Candy
TFA - Mint Candy (really gross)

Isn't cotton candy just Ethyl Maltol? How did it effect your recipes negatively?

I noticed some flavors get muted and taste off with cotton candy added. I prefer to add cream bases.
