What flavors do use as additives?

submitted over 10 years ago by lvanDrago

Like for instance tfa marshmallow .5% as a smoother for harsh flavors. Dragonfruit at .5% as a mystery flavor. Addition. Basically anything under 2% that doesn't give of a flavor but gives a specific tone.

(0.2%) of TFA Strawberry to add some background flavor and sweetness
(0.1%) of FLV Pink Guava for some mystery citrus bite
(0.1-0.2%) of FA Anise in creams and custards for a fuller mouthfeel and some complexity
(0.1%) of TFA Peanut Butter in every banana flavor
(0.1-0.2%) of INW Lemon Concentrate to brighten up fruit mixtures
(0.2%) of TFA Pear in all Apple mixtures

The list goes on...

These are the kinds of things I need to know. I find myself studying this this forum more than I ever studied when I was in school. Maybe it's because I actually like learning his stuff as opposed to the Ottoman Empire.

Shrug, as I work on some more recipes I'll try to let you know, it kinda changes for me on a daily basis, anything can be used as an additive in the right circumstance...You just have to have a solid enough understanding of what that flavor does to a juice at very small percentages and what it does to that flavor profile in general.

Dragonfruit is most excellent at blending fruit flavors.

French Vanilla (Cap or TFA) 0.5-1.5% will soften high notes and help get rid of the rind flavor in some orange and citrus flavorings

I like to use Juicy Lemon under 1% to add a bite or extra citrus note.

Also, TFA Hazelnut below .3% gives a smooth woody/nutty texture that you can faintly taste. If you mix hazelnut and caramel at higher percentages it turns into peanut butter but tastier.

Also most of FA creams have profound effects without much taste under 1%.

.5% tpa Brown sugar as a sweetener, along with normal sweeteners.

Thats kind of given. But you should try using strawberry tfa at .5% as a sweetner or banana cream tfa. Which actually tastes a lot better and gives a creamer vape.

I've used some amounts of fruits to complement others (like for mentioned pear with Apple. Never as a sweetener. How much flavor does that impart on the final mix?

Barely recognized. I gave it a try for a couple vapers, no one could associate the two.

smooth (TFA) @ 1-2 percent.

I will also use TFA menthol at about .5%

I make a lot of simple tobacco/cigarette/cigar flavors and smooth really helps some of them.

TFA's strawberry ripe is a good background note that I have used in Chai tea mixes and I have had some success with it in pipe tobacco mixes at 1-2%

LA Peach can bring a warm roundness to fruit mixes. Sea Buckthorn brings a tartness that can separate some of the high notes. Actually kind of the opposite of LA Peach.
