This is a very close second for me to TFA Strawberry.

How is it as a standalone flavor? I recently got some and have only used it in Funfetti.

I love CAP custard, so I'm a bit bias to say its delicious but your palate may be different. that being said, I don't use it as a standalone.

This post will probably end up in agreement with this link from the sidebar.

A million times this, there isn't another vanilla that gives me that rich vanilla flavor like this one does.

I need to mix with that more. Got some for mustard milk and haven't tried it again. Thanks for the reminder.

I put it in damn near everything. Works great a sweetener for creams and pastries @1%, and as an emulsifier for fruit flavors @1%. I've used about 10X more than any other single flavor in my collection.

Can i sub this for TFA strawbery ripe?

1 points
 
by BuryMeInSmokealmost 10 years ago

Yes and no.

TFA Strawberry is more of a candy-like strawberry, TFA Strawberry Ripe is a more realistic strawberry flavour with some slightly cooked and "rotten" notes. I find it's also slightly weaker than TFA Strawberry.

In saying that, they're both great flavours so it's worth a shot, but it won't be like the original recipe you're following.

FA Cream Fresh.

Surprised no one has mentioned TFA dragonfruit yet. It's a great single flavor, and a great additive at low %s.

This stuff is delicious, the only thing I use more of at this point is TFA Bavarian Cream.

I wonder how they would be mixed...

by NotCharlesMansonalmost 10 years ago

14% TFA Dragonfruit

4% TFA Vanilla Swirl

2% TFA Bavarian Cream

That's the first thing that comes to mind. It's the top rated Sucker Punch clone on ELR. It's been a while since I mixed it (around a year) but I remember it being decent. A little weird.

1 points
 
by BuryMeInSmokealmost 10 years ago

This is a weird flavour for me. It smells good out of the bottle, but as a standalone (or as the main flavour) it has this weird dusty dry flavour and smells/tastes nothing like the bottle. I should play with it some more though, it's great in the 'nana Cream clone.

INW Cactus for sure! It adds a mysteriously refreshing feeling to any fruits recipe and helps marry together disparate fruits in medleys. It can get a little floral at higher percentages, which I personally like sometimes, but it's easy to avoid if you don't. I've started adapting my fruits recipes for use in flavouring carbonated water, and a single drop of INW Cactus makes any glass feel like a health-conscious sophistication.

by mikeswizalmost 10 years ago

Just curious, how much do you add per 10ml of juice to get that refreshing feeling? I just got some in today for the first time.

What like using the flavorings in a soda stream machine? If so that's actually a cool idea I hadn't thought of yet... Hmm, maybe I'll order one of those things too lol

3 points
 
by serensoleilalmost 10 years ago

Yup, that's exactly what I do! I'm not a big fan of syrup-based carbonated drinks, but using vape flavourings gives my water a light, aromatic "suggestion" of flavour that's enjoyable to drink all day. I also love using cream and bakery flavours in milk (for milk, milk sodas, or in coffee). It's a different experience from vaping, so my preferences don't quite map 100%, but most of my recent vape recipes started out as beverage mixes (just because it's so fast to flavour up a glass of water, take a sip, and say "oh, I bet that'd vape real nice").

Most of my fruit mixes need a splash of TFA Citrus Punch, not super popular, but it goes with my palette.

Same here, not sure why I don't see it used much. I just picked up a bottle and mixed it with champagne and it has tons of possibilities. Hawaiian drink as well.

Realistically, it's always gonna be TFA strawberry, but for the sake of fun, I'm going to go with 'Mad Fruit' from Flavour Art. It adds a nice sour kick to fruit mixes at low % Ideal for a candy style recipe.

Good thread. Stuff like this is what helps those of us trying to figure out what flavors to pull the trigger on for our first orders

1 points
 
by Fistedfartboxalmost 10 years ago

Someone figured out one of my reasons for asking the community such an open ended question... Besides enjoying everyone's company, which is always fun, I'm also about 6 months (give or take) into diy and I'm ready to make a big flavor order. Some of these I'm already familiar with, others will be in an online cart in the next coming weeks. I'm also going to make sure to branch out from TFA, which up until now has been the only company I've ordered through.

If I had to answer my own question it would actually be TFA Bavarian Cream, it is my go to additive for just about every recipe I vape.

The "Black liqorice"? I've got that, but it has a too herbal aftertaste to me. Do you know a "clean" more candylike one?

CAP Dragonfruit

1 points
 
by nathanielle_jonesalmost 10 years agoMixologist

How do you compare it against TfA dragonfruit? I picked up some CAPs and it seems like it's missing that really interesting quality the TFA has. Would love to find a use for it but TFA blows it out of the water imo

1 points
 
by v4mpiresalmost 10 years ago

I've honestly never had TFA's Dragonfruit. I'm now seriously thinking of dumping my CAP for TFA. Putting in an order soon so ill report back.

Cola, but I can't replicate the fizzy sensation of Millennium Potion cola. Tried the TFA Champaign add in but it doesn't work.

by 405Kingalmost 10 years ago

What's the best cola you've tried? Been wanting to throw one together.

1 points
 
by SplendidNokiaalmost 10 years ago

From Vapor DNA they have a cola that tastes great and has a fizzy sensation, I've gone through a dozen brands and nothing comes close. Downside is they only sell in 10ml bottles. Madtown Vapor has an excellent cola that is a combination of flavors to make a cola and it is great but a flat flavor but tasty nonetheless.

1 points
 
by SuicydKingalmost 10 years ago

I don't know what you've tried, and I've never had a cola flavor. However, you might want to add some type of an acid to the recipe, as the fizzy sensation from carbonated drinks comes from the CO2 breaking down into carbonic acid. It's what the tongue interprets as the fizzy bite.

Where's the tobacco love? Vaping Zone Blended Tobacco is my must have. Mostly because it is the base to my adv. On the hunt for another good one to replace it though. Or just looking for an excuse to buy a bunch of new flavors.

Like many others, TFA strawberry for me. So many recipes that use it, it's hard to avoid in all honesty.

TFA Grape Juice.

I love grapes.

1 points
 
by CzarMesaalmost 10 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

I have this flavor but have never used it. I just came upon a clone recipe for Galaxy Grape that calls for 20% Grape Juice and 10% Bavarian Cream. Does that sound anywhere within the realm of reality to you? I loved the original, but am scared to try this.

2 points
 
by abra5umentealmost 10 years ago

20%?

Sounds WAY too high for me. I mix it at around 4-6% if it's the main note in a recipe, maybe 10% if it's only grape.

20% would be very tart and very sweet. Also 10% bavarian? That's 30% flavouring!(?)

1 points
 
by CzarMesaalmost 10 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

I know! I had already decided to slash the cream down to about 2-3%, but i had no idea how strong grape juice was. Thanks for your input. Ill try 6% grape and 2.5% cream to start out.

TFA Strawberry (RIPE) - It works in several ways with several other flavors.

I see a lot of people said the Non-Ripe version, but I think that the Regular Strawberry tastes awful.

I just ordered CAP Strawberry and never tasted it before and I pray that it tastes more like the TFA Ripe.
