As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!
Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

FA Cream Fresh ~2% is has got some real dairy to it. It makes a decent enough milky cream. CAP Sweet Cream works fine for that "bottom of the cereal bowl" milk, I guess. I'm even OK with recipes that just drop in ~2 to 4% Bavarian Cream and call it milk. That's not really authentic milk at all, but whatever, it tastes great.
But actual from a cow straight-up milk? I'm not sure I've ever experienced that in a vape. I'm not sure how to even describe it. What does milk taste like? It tastes like milk!
But, when /u/notcharlesmanson told me real super-authentic milk, just a big ol glass of moo juice, was his white whale, I knew I'd eventually be exploring this. Haven't sat down with a dozen fresh wicks and actually compared them yet, but I've ordered and received a bunch of flavors and plan to sample all of these on this crazy milk quest: Wonder Flavours Milk, FLV Milk, LB Cream (I've heard it's milky), OOO Cream Milky, TFA Dairy Milk, TFA Malted Milk, FW Milk, OOO Milk, OOO Whole Milk, FA Milk, RF Milk (VG), Health Cabin Milk, NicVapes Milk, and Tasty Puff Milk. Anyone tried some of these already and tell me which ones to get excited about and which ones I probably shouldn't even bother with?
For what it's worth, I've had a little bit of luck with HS Cream, if you haven't tried that yet.
Haven't tried it yet. Don't own it yet. Can't order it until payday. Couldn't you have said something before I ordered a dozen milk flavors?!?
You get some really off flavors until it steeps? I used it in one of my first mixes and it tasted like curdled butter to me until I went back to it after a week or so.
I really like TFA dairy/milk. It's good but I have yet to try it solo. I just ordered 4oz from bulllcity I think it came today (I'm at work) but when I get home I'll S&V some and see what's up. For a milky flavor I prefer TFA sweet cream though. Im pretty sure at least 30% of my flavors are some variation of cream. I'm gonna mix something that's all about the cream and post it on here tomorrow.
I've yet to try any flavouring that resembles full fat milk.
The only commercial juice (even though I don't buy any myself), that I've tried that comes close is Mylk by Brewell Vapory. However, this is a Sweet Condensed Milk juice, not plain milk but it is 100% spot on.
FLV Milk 0.1% FA Fresh Cream 0.5% Meringue 0.5% FLV Milk & Honey 0.6% TFA Milk 2.3% FLV Macaron FLV Sweet 0.4% I made this really like a glass of milk
It looks like you’re missing a % after Macaroon
TFA Dairy Milk is probably the closest thing to actual milk flavoring I've tried. A lot of people don't like it though. It has a pretty high EM content in it and because of that It mutes the mix like a bitch. I have only really had good success using it and vaping the mix within a few days after mixing.
I seem to have a hard time tasting a lot of milk flavorings. TFA Malted Milk and FLV Milk are both flavorless to me. Most all the other "milk stones" out there are just a creamy flavor without the iconic milk taste.
TFA malted milk is pretty much just maltol and cyclotene, i think it needs to me mixed with other stuff or very high % maybe? tfa malted milk
You lucked out with FLV Milk tasting flavorless...
It ruins anything I've tried to put it in. Tastes like spoiled milk.
FA Cream Fresh is my go to for that dairy/milky note but agree that it’s more leaning towards a cream. Straight up milk is something I’ve never vaped either but I have found TFA Sweet Cream gives a strange but realistic warm milk taste.
Where is the soy milk for the lactose intolerant of us all :)
Soy milk is just milk that speaks Spanish.
/u/Vurve has an Almond Milk recipe that I love on a spiritual level though. Search ATF for Almond Milk
What about Malk™?
Is that from Ernest Scared Stupid?
I wanna know if folks here have tried Yakult, or tried to make an ejuice like that. :)) I was given a flavoring of it by my supplier (locally) for free, but I don't know how to work with it. The problem is, Yakult is by Flavah, a chinese company. So hunting for recipes with that might be a bit too difficult.
I'm under the impression that FA Yogurt tastes quite like that type of profile. I've heard FA Yogurt was tha bomb (lots of people liked it) until it was re-formulated. But FlavourArt does not exactly labels their concentrates so you would know easily if you have the original or the re-formulated version, so I can't tell which one I have. But, yes... you can find a few recipes using FA Yogurt, if that pro-biotic taste is what you were looking for :)
I've tested WF milk recently in a mix, I don't have the recipe at hand now, as I'm at work but, when you smell the flavoring it smells like straight up milk, almost off putting. But if I remember it added a very nice milk dairy note to the mix I used, it's the only concentrate I've ever smelled in the bottle that screamed milk.
FA actually has a milk flavour in their kitchen line, iv just got hold of a bottle so will be testing soon, iv not seen it referenced anywhere yet! (Actually it has on ELR just added twice one with 2 reviews) Ps it ain’t condensed if ppl are wondering!
I recently ordered some, haven't tried it yet.
anyone here try to remix mylk eliquid by Brewell Vapory? i found it use tfa cheesecake graham crust, but i cant find the others the taste is really like malted milk tfa
FA Condensed Milk is what people swear is part of the mix. Just ordered some to try and make something close to it.
Hmm I’d go super low with that. I don’t care for it but there’s a handful of people that’s do....I’d make a dilution it’s ruined everything I’ve tried it in in the past!!!
Can someone explain these posts to me? Is it a post to determine the bilk milk flavour or?...
No, it's just to talk about milky flavors in general
Ohhh. Ok that makes a bunch more sense now looking at it from that perspective haha. I was hoping to find the "best" one even if it's based off opinion so I know what to order next. Finances are too tight to order a few different ones to sample because I'm ordering from New Zealand.
