Triacetin in Flavor Enhancers (MTS Vape Wizard , TFA Smooth , FW Flavor Toner/Enhancer)
>Triacetin- Sold as aaa magic mask by fa, and is a main ingredient of mts vape wizard by fa, smooth by tpa, and flavor toner/enhancer by fw. This stuff is used in many processed foods and in cigarette filters to smooth out harsh notes. It does this by temporarily numbing certain taste receptors in your tongue. This is the reason you can stomach breakfast cereals, microwave meals, and all the added paper and other trash they put in commercial cigarettes. Likewise, it can make some ejuices tolerable, maybe even tasty, that without it would be abominable. This stuff is actually amazing. If you really suck at diy, and your juice tastes like an abortion, you need this stuff; it can save even some of the worst tasting mixes. SIDENOTE: Triacetin is also the most amazing coil cleaner! It actually does for cotton what conditioner does for hair; vg slowly clogs wicks, and pg makes the fibers brittle, but aaa unclogs wicks and plasticizes fibers, leaving them flexible once more.
I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever used it with say several fruit flavors in a Creme or Bakery recipe? "Non-Tobacco"
I have tasted "smelled" a few fruit mixes in the past where I couldn't tell which flavors were being used.
I would take a hit and sometimes think maybe that is CAP Sweet Tangerine then take another and think No, that is FA Orange. I never could make up my mind.
Same thing with cherry and then sometimes with pineapple in another juice. The same with many other recipes and flavors, I would taste them and then later all I would taste is a mixed fruit recipe with no pronounced flavor.
Is that just the nature of mixing the fruits in a proper equal ratio or do you think an enhancer would help blend the flavors in this scenario?
Thanks for your time and knowledge. I hope you guys and gals are having a good Holiday season.
Note: I did research, but have seen a few different answers. Some references say that these enhancers will lower any bitter taste. Other will say that it only blends flavors together to an extent. A few resources say that it is used to add a creaminess without adding an actual cream base to a recipe.
I am starting to think that it is all the above. Again though my main question is if anyone has ever used it with say several Fruit flavors in a Creme or Bakery recipe to hide the higher fruit notes and/or blend the fruits.

Thanks for the post. I have wondered about its uses(beyond the usual) as well. Using this info(below) to go on myself. Not sure from what I have read if it will work as you hope. I believe its action is to reduce your experience of the bitter flavours (by numbing your receptors) - mellows the strong flavours out so you can experience the others (the action you hope for). The creaminess I have read referenced, was my understanding, it allowed the creaminess to show by taking off the harsh notes? Not sure the method it uses to accomplish this is what you would want in the end. I see how it used to save some juices, may be why it used? That said I think it is worth exploring as the action of the additive may help do as you wish. Happy Holidays to you as well.

With my experience with it, I liken it to throwing your flavors in a blender, rather than layering them in. One of my recipes I use a low concentration of it to really create an "all in one" blended flavor illusion, where without it, you can taste each individual layer (sort of). I haven't used it with a fruit/bakery type mix because I'd rather those recipes have those layered subtlties. It does add some slight body, but it tastes as if it's "bloating" the recipe. Filling it up with no purpose. I've also found there's a slight muting of high notes, and not so much just "bringing them down". Brighter flavors fall victim to this the most. Just my two cents.
I have a fruit and cream recipe, which is my most popular recipe among friends/family, that I've tried with and without Vape Wizard (1 drop per 10ml). Everyone agrees that the recipe WITH is better. The fruits meld together better, the throat hit is reduced and it is a better all-around vape.
