TFA Bavarian Cream

submitted over 9 years ago by SONDERvapeProud Sidebar Reader!

##Main Notes:##

TFA Bavarian Cream is a thick vanilla cream with dairy notes.

##Developement:##

At 2% it's a heavy cream already. It's thick, dairy and vanilla mostly. The nuttiness goes away after a few hours.

At 5% the vanilla starts to take over and gains focus.

At 10% it gets really sweet, like sickening sweet. Even more vanilla. The other notes get kinda lost.

##Recommended Percentage and Steep:##

I would recommend 2-5% for standalone flavor and a medium steep (3 to 7 days).

##Toxicity## Volatile | contains ---|--- Acetoin | x Diacetyl |
Acetyl Propionyl|

My testing setup: Griffin RTA, Dual Kanthal Coils reading at 0.5, 30 Watts.

I make 3 10ml bottles (3mg nicotine, 50/50 PG VG) and steep them for 4 weeks. I test them after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.

You didn't get any maple-y taste at 5 and especially at 10%? Or is that just how my brain interprets cloying vanilla overload?

It does contain cyclotene, so I can see where you'd get that.

Also, OP: It appears to contain acetoin, but not diacetyl.

I've noticed that it mutes some fruits. At 5% it also covers up some of the in-your-face bitterness in 555 or DkTab or whatever TFA is calling it. Also it will slowly take over some of the more delicate tobaccos over time. I've made several that were good shake&vapes but went tasteless after a week.

Setup

RDA/ Velocity Coil/ 6 Wrap Single Fused Kanthal Clapton 2×26 core 32 wrap W/ 45 Wicking/ Full Rayon Ω/0.26

Testing

Steep Time/7 weeks % Used/ 5 PG/VG 50/50 Nic%/0

Mouthfeel

Heavy on the tongue right on the nose with a moderately dense mouth feel 7 out of 10.

Creamy smooth and has a Airy mouth feel.

Throat Hit 4/10

Flavor Properties

Very sweet and buttery cream. Heavy on the diary reminds me of custard flavorings with a moderate vanilla flavoring.

Relatable Flavors

Remind me of Boston cream pie fillings, and the gooey inside of a toasted marshmallow.

Position In The Recipe

A excellent base flavoring for any cream recipe. Can also be used to accent sweet and creamy notes and other cream flavorings by keeping the percentage low.

Off flavers

None

Pairings

Bakeries, creams, tobaccos, candies, cereals, fruit flavorings, and spices to name a few. (the list is pretty much anything in your inventory)

Recipe

Obviously not one of mine but have been enjoying this recipe as of late. Be forewarned the 10-day steep seems to take forever.

Notes

This is an incredibly useful and versatile flavoring that every mixer should have in their collection, I personally prefer the flavor West offering it is slightly weaker and much sweeter. That said you're not always looking for sweetness when trying to hit that creamy profile.

I always avoid looking these up until after I've written a review, and enjoy finding out something I did not know before that explains some of my perceptions on the flavor.

And as always where I got mine.
