TPA is the name of the company, TFA is their food flavouring range. That's it.

Two branches of the same company. One for perfume aromas and another for food grade flavors.

Here!

The company is called The Perfumer's Apprentice.

They have two lines of products, the other of which is also named The Perfumer's Apprentice, consisting of perfume aromas.
The other line is called The Flavor Apprentice, consisting of edible and vapeable stuff.

That's what can cause confusion at first. Someone writes TFA, it's the vapeable product line, simple. Someone writes TPA, they mean the same line, or the company, all the while TPA actually being an unvapeable line too. Some websites still abbreviate TPA/TFA flavors "PA", making everything just a little more confusing and sounding like direct reference to the line that's not vapeable, because their home site has a tab for it that says just "Perfumer's Apprentice" (without the "The"). Then there's the Signature line seen in a few places, which is actually rebottled TFA.. Oh lord.

I remember when shops and sites would sell TPA flavors for vaping use... The bottles said The Perfumers Apprentice on them as well.

I think that's the case. I'm from Poland and all i can find on our vaping websites are TPA flavours. I'm pretty confident that these are just rewrapped and rebottled TFA flavours.

I don't think I was clear enough, TPA and TFA, for our intents and purposes are the same thing.

Don't use TPA for flavor; those are scents, not flavors. TFA is the branch you're looking for.

From what I've read is there is no difference between products, its just that after a few years (I think?) they changed it to TFA for flavors that people like to Vape because "perfume" isn't really anything that sounds Vape friendly.

No what? TFA is TPAs line for flavorings. They also make scents I think. Hence the F not P. I've read that in a few places..

The company is TPA, TFA is their line of flavor products
