Who else uses their concentrates for things other than vaping?

submitted over 8 years ago by skijumper97

3 drops of Capella Choc Fudge Brownie into your morning coffee makes for the nicest Mocha.

2 drops of TFA French Vanilla Creme into your Pepsi gives the nicest pepsi-icecream flavor. Or add two drops of TFA Black Cherry and youve got Cherry Cola. (Still working on making it closer to Dr Pepper).

I add different flavors to my porridge each morning. This morning I tried FlavorArt Apple Pie.

I love making chocolates - I have about 60 chocolate molds. Concentrates work well with these (but not too much as they are PG based, which will seize the chocolate). But you can let loose if you're making flavored fondet filled truffles. Use TFA Peppermint for a mint Aero Bar flavor, Use FlavorArt Peppermint for a more Peppermint Pattie flavor).

I've decided to keep all my vape stuff in the kitchen now. It feels more right home, as I love to cook, and get the same emotional vibe from mxing my own ejuices as when when I try out new meal preps.

My flavor trays (I have about 70 flavors), are now officially shared between my vape and cook gear.

Edit: Spelling and Peppermint additions.

You could probably just make simple syrup (1:1 water and sugar) and then add flavoring to taste. You could even add some food coloring if you wanna get fancy.

I have a kegerator next to my flavor stash that I've been using to make sparkling water, I've been flavoring my own fizzy water for a while now

It's definitely a great way to learn your flavors better and experiment with pairings.

Its really easy to burst carb the water by shaking the keg at 45 PSI (I put the gas line on the liquid port too so that it bubbles to increase surface exposure). After 10 mins of shaking it's pretty good but it gets better after sitting overnight at 15PSI which is my serving pressure.

I have found water is much more prone to freezing than beer is, so once the keg gets low I've had to try 'bursting' ice out of the liquid line using 45 PSI again.

I use about 6 drops of most liquids in a 16 ounce cup of water, but you obviously can do as much as you like.

If you put it on the floor and roll it with your feet while doing something else, watching tv, read a book, etc., it goes by quickly and you soon have done it for 30 minutes.

A carbonating stone works better though, and you don't have to shake it.

Fruit flavours works great. I've used pomegranate and kiwi.

Fruit is good but I like to get weird with it too. If you get a chance try TFA White chocolate

I used holy vanilla in a cake icing the other day. Was scrumptious

Yes!, cake icing is the best to flavor.

I tried TFA's caramel Original the other day on my moist vanilla cake. Perfect addition.

I like using LA Cream Cheese Icing to flavor regular buttercream frosting - that way I get cream cheese frosting on my red velvet cupcakes without having to keep them refrigerated :)

Yep, I use them all the time in protein shakes, yogurts, oatmeal, and coffee. If I ever get a flavor I totally hate and can't stand vaping, I've always been able to find something food or drink wise to use it in.

This! I'm trying to figure out which "cake" flavoring Three Olives uses for their "cake" vodka, so I can have that delicious taste, minus the ravens-pecking-at-my-head headache!

I make keto friendly sugarfree whipped cream for my sweet tooth. Sometimes fruit flavors, sometimes savory. I've even done a tobacco/peanut butter/caramel one. Wife wasn't impressed, I loved it.

Sample receipe

Using whipped cream dispenser:

2 drops FLV Rich Cinnamon (this is balanced, add another for whammo cinnamon)
1 tsb vanilla extract (haven't tried drops for vanilla, I have plenty of extract)
2 packets of stevia
1 1/2 cups of whipping cream

Great on peaches for my wife, great straight in the whipped cream hole for me.

Yo. I have used my flavorings for coffee a few times. But more often, I have used them to flavor liquor.

This is a good call. I like drinking Godfather mixers (1:1 amaretto, whisky/bourbon). I think FA Almond or even TFA Toasted Almond might be good.

Same here. Butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, hazelnut... stuff that goes great in coffee but I rarely find myself using in my e liquids.

1-2 drops of Lorann Raspberry, 12 Oz of sprite, 2 Oz vodka, Serve on ice, the perfect Crimson Razz.

As I read the title, I thought immediately of decarbing and eating my concentrates. Alas, awesome idea. I truly had never considered using my flavorings for anything other than vaping. I love to cook. My wife loves to bake. We shall get to experimenting tonight. No "butt stuff" she says, though. :(

I mean like. I occasionally use it to spice up water for certain things. Melons in particular work well for contained water filtration systems where you're breathing the resulting air.

I make my own flavored water. One of my favorites is coconut banana. For a 16oz bottle I'll add 15 drops of Sucralose, 6 drops of coconut, and 4 drops of banana. Peach/mango & Pear/Strawberry are also good combos. 8 drops of cinnamon danish to my coffee = yum.

Any ideas about what to add to my 8 year olds antibiotics to make it taste better? It is supposed to be bubblegum flavor already but he was so shocked at the taste that he almost spit it out. We have eight days left. I have a couple of sweeteners but I'm afraid of screwing it up and making it taste worse. And since a drop goes a long way, I don't know how to experiment. Its like a one shot deal.

I actually use them for the intended purpose: candy making. Also, if you add super sweet or EM to your juice instead of nic, it works quite well for water flavor drops.

Their actual intention is any food/drink flavoring. My buddy works in the food industry, specifically in flavorings, and always used to bring samples home to see if I could guess what they were. Sadly his samples were about 10 times the size of the small bottles we pay money for...

TFA Bavarian Cream in pancake mix = donut flavored pancakes.

What amount of flavoring do you use for your pancakes. About to try this but I have absolutely no idea where to begin.

I just kinda wing it. Don't do % for pancake mix. Just kinda pour it in till I think it's about right.

Am I the only one around here that gets excited every time this question pops up?

Please indulge me while I roll out my dairy-free French Toast recipe for the bah-zillionth time! :-D

I have a recipe for a dairy-free/egg-free French Toast that went from good to outstanding with the addition of some CAP Vanilla Custard. This should do about 4-8 slices.

1 Heaping TBSP of Corn Starch
3/4 Cup Non-Dairy Milk (almond, coconut, soy, whatevs.)
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon (or one drop FLV Rich Cinnamon!)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Nutmeg
3-4 Drops Capella Vanilla Custard flavoring

Preheat a nonstick frying pan on medium heat.
Whisk all ingredients together in a shallow bowl wide enough to dip a slice of bread in. Spray a little canola oil on the pan. Quickly dip slices of bread into the "batter". Dip both sides, but don't soak them.
Arrange slices in your preheated pan (don't crowd them) and cook each side for about 3 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Serve with REAL maple syrup, because, even though your French Toast is fake, that doesn't mean you have to live like a goddamn animal.

Good idea with the pepsi Ill try it. I use anise in my white bread dough, hazelnut in hot chocolates and banana ripe in pancake batter.

Watch with especially fizzy drinks for overflow. I added some strawberry to a carbonated water and it fizzled over like 1/4 of the water and made a nice little mess before I could cap it haha.

How much flavoring do you add to the water?

I was thinking about doing that with my water bottles - grab some FA Lemon Sicily or Lime, etc.. but don't know how much to add for a 16 oz bottle

1 points

by Annathiikaover 8 years ago

It varies, but if you can give it a little stir or shake, taste as you go. I've not really found a good standard or anything. While something like strawberry usually needs quite a bit, mint needs only a couple of drops etc.

Cup at work. Roughly the size of 3/4ths a can. In a 1L bottle id use 5-6ish but it's pretty easy to over do it. A drop at a time with a test sip is the easiest way to figure out the right amount.

All the time, vanilla swirl goes well with anything I'm baking. I do the same thing with chocolate fudge brownie as I think it's a terrible flavour for vaping, very nice!

You mean, say, by inhaling them? Perhaps habitually, multiple times a day?

They're the same industrial food flavorings used in everything from candy to breakfast cereal.
