Hope this Flavor of the Week isn't a Dud: MILK!!!
submitted over 7 years ago by ID10-TWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

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.

#This week's flavor is: Milk

How did that get to be the FOTW?

It was requested!

If you're not interested in this FOTW, please take this opportunity and comment to request one that interests you (or send me a PM to do that).

Past FOTW posts can be found here

EDIT: And if you're looking for the NOTED podcasts, which are bascially video FOTWs, /u/apexified has a spreadsheet of them here.

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.

Yeah, I get a bit of a weird chalky/spoiled taste for the first few days.

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'm so glad you are going to be testing all of these milks! I think it will be awesome if you can come up with a solid one out of all of that probable garbage. Godspeed!

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.

I really like mylk too! they have milk flavor that suitable for me, i try remix it and i found it using tfa cgc with other cons. I dont know the others but i guess that is a malted milk tfa?

It looks like you’re missing a % after Macaroon

Sorry, yes. Fill a small 0.4% 2 drops less

I understand the meaning of going to get rid of meringues it? Sir, I always feel less what. Sweetness does not seem enough.

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

by obliterayteover 7 years ago

You lucked out with FLV Milk tasting flavorless...

It ruins anything I've tried to put it in. Tastes like spoiled milk.

So it should make a good component if trying to clone hershey's milk chocolate - using spoiled milk is what gave it its signature taste, as compared to swiss or Belgian milk chocolate.

OOO Cream (milky undertone) is the most realistic milk flavouring that I've tried. .5% will make any custard deliciously creamy. 1-2% for a milk-forward recipe.

Haven’t solo’d it but can confirm LB cream is pretty damn milk delish.. Used with fruit it was more effective than any sweet cream or milk for that matter, that I have tested yet..

by SpaghettiBollocknaseover 7 years ago

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

Gracias. Now I can't look at "milk" made out of soybeans the same way. Spanish is my native language, and I've spoken it for over 30 years, and I have never looked at soy milk that way. De verdad, gracias!

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.

Hmmmm. Maybe in addition to solo testing it I should go right ahead and toss it in some of this new TFA Sweet Cereal Flakes I just got.

by NoddingRhineover 7 years ago

Could you give up a vendor for this one? Or do you have to go straight through FA?

FA Condensed Milk is what people swear is part of the mix. Just ordered some to try and make something close to it.

by sampleitover 7 years ago

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!!!

I've heard it's pretty potent, gonna make a 10% solution of it and see how it is

FA condensed milk is a good flavor too but for me its not a 'milk' from that mylk, i still get the taste like sweet cream cap/tfa or malted milk tfa

No, it's just to talk about milky flavors in general

by Typical_Pakehaover 7 years ago

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.

I found FA Fresh Cream and TFA Dairy Milk at a 2:1 ratio give a pretty decent milk base I just need to come up with a recipe that uses it
