A flavor of the Week that's Better off Spread: PEANUT BUTTER!!!
submitted about 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 category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!

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.

Just ordered some DX PB. I fucking spend probably $20 a month to ship all these little orders I make on a weekly basis. If everyone could stop using flavors I don’t have, that’d be great.

But f’real tho, the only other Peanut Butter I have tried was CAP to make this Zero candy bar recipe. Well, sort of. Had a guy that wanted a clone of some tobacco juice and he said it tasted like one of those candy bars with some tobacco and vanilla. Looks like I deleted the exact recipe, but I think I just added cap Vanilla Custard and INW Garuda and dropped the candy bar stuff down a hair. But it’s probably not anything anyone would want to make. But that candy bar recipe was pretty good. I had never had a Zero before, so I bought one to try side by side with that recipe and it was pretty damn close. Oh, and I used the TFA brownie flavor, not FE.

I know what this means. This means prayers for a perfect p-nut bacco will soon be answered.

Ooooooooh Christmas in September! I’ve got like a week and a half until Thanksgiving in August with apricaught and hop spit and dune brewing. Going camping this weekend with my catch a fire. Life is good, man.

The tobacco hole goes deeper yet!

I've got a peanut butter / caramel / cavendish in the works, and almost done :) Using regular TPA Peanut butter, dx is on the way. using INW tobaccos, makes for a lengthy process when every iteration needs to steep 3 weeks.

I bet that’s going to be good with the honey notes in Cavendish. Or at least that’s what I get out of it. Love some honey on a peanut butter sandwich. I’ll be on the lookout for this. What caramel you using?

I still need to try Folkart’s suggestion and have the stuff to do it, just been busy with other profiles for the past few months. And I haven’t messed with Goober Grape since I found out about TFA DX PB. It’s about time to get back in the saddle.

Simple Peanut Butter Banana

6% LA Banana Cream

4% TFA DX Peanut Butter

This is the base for a super thick peanut butter banana. This would go great with grahams, pie crusts, cheesecakes, even some bright berries. The peanut butter somehow brings forward the mild under ripe notes in LA nana cream. It's like the moistness from leaving a sliced up banana out for a while, the sticky oily substance that forms on the outside. It adds for an interesting mouthfeel. On an mostly unrelated note, fuck TFA Banana Cream. Shit tastes like mildew.

It's almost redundant to say it but TFA DX Peanut Butter also pairs really well with bakeries, ice creams, etc. I've been working on a peanut butter cookie for a while now but I can't get it quite where I want it. I need those crispy, sugar coated edges. I NEED them. I'm going to have to try JF Biscuit either instead of or in combination with INWs variation. Maybe rf sc sugar cookie too. I'm also jumping into tobacco's with my next order and thinking a pb RY4 may be necessary. Has anyone matched any of the FLV tobaccos with peanut butter?

Yeah also this post isn't all that helpful and is mostly a cry for help.

I've got a pb / caramel / Cavendish going on using FLV Red Burley and INW Cavendish. DIYFS Holy Holy Grail ry4 for the caramel. Burley is mostly filling out the Cavendish, so not the star of the show, but it's pretty nutty already so it would be a good option to pair with pb. Cured works well with Burley, so the two of those might be a good start for your base.

Man, awesome. Thank you for the reply. I had a sneaking suspicion Burley may be a good jumping off point and now I have some reassurance.

Off to Nic River to bankrupt myself again!

I just got some dx, and I want to sub it for regular TFA pb in a recipe I'm working on. Would you say I should go with the same %? I'm going to do a sft, but I'd like to get the substitution done today too as I only have time to mix once a week or so.

1 points
 
by Bassmuttabout 7 years ago

Yeah about the same maybe a percent lower to start with. If I want it to be the main note I use around 5 or sometimes 6%

Try Goofy's Juice - it's my ADV

by kindgroundabout 7 years ago

See the post in this thread where we're talking about adding PB to the greatest RY4 recipe that ever lived. Cardinal.

The Goofy Juice looks decent as well. However, I'd make it with JF RY4 Double @ 3%. Also IDK how much PB there will be at that %. Most others use it a lot higher.

EDIT for clarity.

What's the difference between TFA regular PB and the DX version other than the DX being diketone free?

6 points
 
by ID10-Tabout 7 years agoWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

The regular one has trimethyl pyrazine, 2-ethyl-6-methyl-pyrazine, and decalactone while the DX one has 2-acetyl pyridine

by kindgroundabout 7 years ago

Flavor Nerd! I mean in taste.

14 points
 
by Civinskoabout 7 years ago

One tastes a bit trimethyl pyrazine-y with an edge of decalactone, the other tastes more 2-acetyl-pyridine-y.

by ID10-Tabout 7 years agoWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

Very similar but a little more authentic, which is a neat trick since you can already almost feel TFA PB stick to the roof of your mouf, at least when it's used high and steeped short. DX seems to have the same problems that the original is plagued with - assume I don't need to list them for you or /u/penabater - but at a much lesser severity level.

For real tho, is dx pb better than the OG?

by hauntedgamer666about 7 years ago

I always go straight up peanut butter. 10% with tfa.

4 points
 
by St1llFrankabout 7 years ago

I got both regular and DX TFA Peanutbutter. I like to make a peanutbutter cookie recipe with the regular TFA.

TFA-Peanutbutter 4%

CAP-Sugar Cookie 4%

CAP-Marshmallow 1%

(Credit MattyVapes from Vaping Underground)

I tried it with the DX and it tasted waxy in comparison. I'll have to try it in other ways because it has a creamier feeling going on.

3 points
 
by kindgroundabout 7 years ago

Try the CAP Marshmallow alone and see if it's the culprit. I find it to be waxy and use TFA Marshmallow instead.

I'll check it out. I gotta do a head to head comparison too.

Taro is going to be really interesting. TPA Taro is ungodly strong and needs to be diluted heavily before use. I've used it to kind of beef up TFA peanut butter at .05% and it worked somewhat well.

Lol it depends he was known to eat them toasted and non and sometimes with bacon too and sometimes on rolls lol I didn't go deep with it just a easy peanut butter banana.. Just like do you remember the Elvis Reese's they use to have where it was just banana and peanut butter? Yum

I never saw the Elvis Reese. I think it would've been better with chocolate, from the sounds of it. But not bad as described.

I just posted about this flavor last week. I have been dying for a good peanut butter recipe but so far can’t stand anything I have tried. Cap, dx, tfa or combos of each have yielded nothing but disastrous results. Almost comes off with a slightly tobacco flavor. TFA was so bad I contacted the supplier to have them send more because I thought it went bad. I also could not Vape goofys juice..

I have not given up though. FLV pb on its way.... let me know if anyone has some beneficial input or can relate

Dx peanut butter is great and it sort of goes with dx banana cream somehow. This combo feels very thick in the lungs. Likely pair with other nuts and dark sweets.

by amouthforwarabout 7 years ago

Tfa dx peanut butter is the secret weapon.

Vape id10t's Retaliatory Tariffs. You wont regret it.

Also, dx pb is a very good base with some hazelnut, cream, and inw milk chocolate for a nutella mix.

Thanks for the review. Pulled the trigger on a massive flavoring order. TFA peanut butter was on my list.

Going to work something out with TFA Banana cream, CAP sugar cookie, TFA brown sugar & AP and perhaps some variant with FA Cacao and/or fudge brownie.

Have a variety of creams, meringue, etc.

Next big experiment that I'm quite pumped about is a Torrone recipe (got TFA pistachio and FA almond & honey enroute) I make the real stuff. Yummy nutty nougat.
