Whats the top 10 must have flavorings for every diyers inventory?

submitted over 8 years ago by fantasmagore

I'm very curious on what everyone thinks. I'm new to this. Only been making my own juice for little over 4 months. It seems when I talk to people who have been doing it for over a year they all tell me something different. From dragon fruit. To ripe strawberry. So how about you guys? What are your top 10 must have flavorings that you keep a nice stock of?

INW Cactus lives up to the hype.

I just ordered this for the first time. I have an idea for it, but I've still got a little research to do. I hope the hype is accurate.

I've got an idea for an apricot tobacco, and it just seemed like something that I should use. I think it was your comment on the Wood Spice review that put it in my head, so I'm really hoping it works out. It's a bit outside my realm, so I guess we will see.

What does it actually taste like though. I've never eaten a cactus before. Does it taste like the blood of a thousand needles?

It's hard to describe. Some Asian restaurants around here have green hard candies that taste like it. It's kind of melony, but its own thing. I don't like melon at all, but always have a bottle of single flavor cactus around.

I think I get an off flavor from INW cactus that's probably just me. It's a shame because so many recipes use it.

I picked these because they typically get used in a wide array of different recipes. There are alot of other amazing flavors but they are more specific to a one certain recipe.

Strawberry(+ripe) and fa meringue are the first 120ml bottles I bought. Very good stuff. The only one I don't have is blueberry wild. Also I ended up with 90ml of cap French toast which may have been a mistake. Somewhat waxy/plastic tasting.

I'd sub blueberry with tfa dragonfruit or inw cactus.

2 points

by BlazeDemBeatzover 8 years agoMentholatier

If I had to sub it with anything it would honestly be TFA Dragonfruit. That's one fruit flavor that tends to get added along multi recipes as a accent very often. I have some mixes I been holding off on because my bottles empty and I need to reorder.

Nice to see some FE Lemon in there. Is FLV Mango that good? I adore INW mango but I haven't found anything else decent.

2 points

by HocusKrokusover 8 years agoHis Bearded Holiness

It really is. While it lacks some of the more earthy mango notes that INW has that I really love, those same notes make it harder to use everywhere I'd like it to fit. I find FLV much more versatile.

2 points

by Tamachickenover 8 years agoMixologist

FLV Mango is fantastic and beats INW Mango by a long shot. You'll probably want to mess with the % a bit to find your level. FLV Mango shifts massively between 0.5% up to 3%.

FA Pear? you need to try some MB Shape up Pear, is the best pear flavor.

It's like a prune syrup kind of thing. It hits that raisin/prune/fig note that you can sometimes smell in tobacco.

Love me that FLV Cured. Just picked up some Red Burley and it's a tad better. Been messing with this FA Soho as of yesterday. Some of my throwaways: Gold Ducat, FA Desert Ship.

Gold Ducat I don't think I've had since they changed the formula. Not too sure. My last order was in December, and I don't know if we know when the new formulas started going out. Whatever version I have is decent, but not my favorite. Agree with FA Desert Ship though.

Was messaging a few other tobaccoheads on here. Picked up the INW for Pipe items (Gold, Cherry, French). Dont really know how to play with them yet. Made a tester of Gold @ 4% and mixed up 3% cherry and 1% fa marzipan. I hope to figure out good pairings/percentages. Also HS Arabic and Highway too. 5% Arabic in a 10ML tester is steeping.

The thing with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is that the TFA version tastes peppery to some people, including myself, in some applications. CAP seems the best 1:1 replacement, while FW has a tasty one but doesn't seem to handle quite the same. If possible, get TFA, but the others are good if you have get the pepper taste.

Something I find pretty good that was reccomended by a user on here in the past so I picked it up. Hagnsen French Ice Cream.

Recipes that call for TFA cut it in half and add half HS. It's worth trying. I personally don't get the peppery taste ppl tend to mention though.

1 points

by DataNotAnecdotesover 8 years agoMixologist

I'll...have to give that a try. It sounds like a solid plan if it can minimize the pepper but bring the cream to the forefront.

i was also hating the peppery taste/smell.

i just left the cap off for a day, regularly shaking it and came back to it and it's nice and smooth

You are gonna get a different answer from everyone you ask. Everyone has their own top 10 list. Just depends on personal tastes and those vary greatly with concentrates. Plus, they constantly change. Probably due to vapers tongue and the vast variety out there and the constant new selections coming out.
