This is part of project I agreed to take on after it was pointed out that so many of the resources in sidebar and wiki are ancient. The idea is, rather than revising them myself, I'd post them here once per week to gather feedback on how to improve them. They belong to all of us, everyone should have a say in what they say.
Last week, we looked at a 4-year-old section of the wiki that contained 7-year-old recipes using only TFA flavors. Some of us had some cheap laughs (except that one guy who seemed pretty upset about our disrespect for our elders) and called for the recipes to be nuked from orbit, but some of us had some serious thoughts about the original intent and benefits of the recipe compilation. Some just wanted to replace it with a another compilation of cheap, simple recipes, but it seems like we have one of those weekly around here. Just search for "cheap" and "simple" using the customized google search in the sidebar that was provided by our new top mod/official overlord /u/InertiaCreeping (the mod team recently shed some dead weight, including that of our most useless founder).
There also appeared to be enough interest in a straight reboot of the old thread that I'm calling for that here and now.
#Post your favorite all-TFA recipes here!
Post them in tables, post them with bullets, post them with ATF/ELR links, post them without ATF/ELR links, post them AS ATF/ELR links, post them with notes, post them without notes, post them if they're your own creations, post other people's' recipes that you've enjoyed, post them any way you like, just post them!
You can react to the recipes and discuss them after they're posted but top-level comments that aren't TFA-only recipes will get zapped.
Disclaimer: This might make it easier and less expensive for someone to do some entry-level mixing. Staying off the stinkies without spending beaucoup on juice is the most important thing, right? But for intermediate mixers, for best results, more often that not you should mix with varying flavors from different flavor houses. Each company does something better than another one. While mixing with just one brand may be cheaper, easier, or more accessible, it will not usually give you the best mix possible.
Note: It's been pointed out to me that doing only an all-TFA recipe compilation is unfair, as Capella and Flavor West are also pretty accessible and inexpensive. It's worth noting that if you break down the amount you're using in a mix, more concentrated flavors that come with a higher per-bottle price tag can actually be less expensive per mL used in recipes because due to their concentration. A flavor you typically use at 1% is cheaper than a flavor you typically use at 5% unless it's five times more expensive. But, we're talking entry-level here. And then there's the whole cost/benefit analysis of simply using the best flavor for the job at almost any cost. But the idea here is to get non-mixers mixing as easily and inexpensively as possible. So that's what Throwback Thursday will be for the upcoming two weeks before we move on to another topic. Get your FW and CAP recipes ready for the next two weeks.
Let's do this!
This timeless classic:
- 8% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- 6% TFA Strawberry
This was the first recipe for a lot of us
It wasn't my first thing to mix, because I started by ordering flavors for which I had no recipe (don't do that, noobs!), but it was the first recipe I mixed that was shared by someone else and it was within my first month or so of mixing.
I love the idea for this series. I know it's a slightly odd angle, but I'll focus on TFA flavors that
work as single flavors
(for me, at least). I think they are good to identify for new mixers, and I feel good about recommending them for newer mixers to consider bc even if they don't like them as single flavors, IMO these are also very mixable and often used in recipes.
Here are some I've used that way and Work (some are great in my opinion, some are not my favorites, but work for others and I've tried it and can tell they're fine and I just don't care for that flavor as a vape):
I'm adding the starting percentages that Worked For Me for these as Single Flavors; YMMV of course!
5% Pistachio.
9% Coconut Candy.
5% Chai Tea.
5% Cherry Blossom.
3% Honeysuckle.
5% Lemongrass.
7% French Vanilla Deluxe.
7% Lemonade Cookie.
9% Horchata Smooth.
9% Mint Candy.
7.5% Violet Candy.
6% Marshmallow.
5% Toasted Marshmallow.
5% Toasted Almond.
9% Orange Cream.
3% Quince.
5% Nectarine.
7% (DX) Peanut Butter.
7% (Regular) Peanut Butter.
7% RY4 Double.
9% Spearmint.
12% Peppermint.
7% Wintergreen.
10% Creme de Menthe.
PS Feel free to nuke this comment if it's not right for this post; I know single flavor "recipes" aren't really recipes.
It's fine, but if you have some suggested use %ages for these single-flavor "recipes" that would be even more helpful.
Something I have only marginal claim to creating.
3% Toasted Marshmallow
6% Pear
3% Kentucky Bourbon
If you've ever wondered what sweet baby Jesus tasted when he breastfed, this is the recipe for you. A bright, clean, dragon-berry milk, kind of like a Creamsaver that doesn't exist but definitely should.
- 4% TFA Dragonfruit
- 3% TFA Strawberry Ripe
- 2% TFA Strawberry
- 3% TFA Vanilla Swirl
- 2% TFA Bavarian Cream
It's just Mustard Milk with the %'s swapped. Call me a heretic but I like it better this way.
- 8% TFA Strawberry
- 6% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
I do it very similarly. Except 4% VBIC and 2% Bavarian
2% TPA Pineapple
1.5% TPA Pear
1% TPA Dragonfruit
0.5% TPA Marshmallow
Wait, someone other than me posted a recipe without vanilla, strawberry, or peach? Shocking.
Bourbon Ice Cream by /u/taclite
MFG | Flavor | Percentage ---------|----------|---------- TFA | Vanilla Bean Ice Cream | 8% TFA | Kentucky Bourbon | 3% TFA | Toasted Marshmallow | 2% TFA | Brown Sugar | 1%
It needs a long steep (4 weeks-ish) but this is some damn good stuff
TFA Blueberry Extra @ 4%
TFA Pomegranate @ 5%
TFA Cranberry @ 4%
Optional: FA Lemon Sicily @ 0.5%
Intriguing. Although that 'option' renders it kinda outside the scope of the thread...
Creamed dragonfruit with a touch of ripe strawberry and vanilla, tastes like suckling from the teats of Daenerys Targaryen.
- 7% TFA Dragonfruit
- 2% TFA Strawberry Ripe
- 2% TFA Vanilla Swirl
- 2% TFA Bavarian Cream
God Milk by /u/skiddlzninja
Buy God Milk.
- 4% TFA Strawberry
- 4% TFA Strawberry Ripe
- 1% TFA Dragonfruit
- 3% TFA Bavarian Cream
- 3% TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust
- 6% TFA Pear
- 3% TFA Juicy Peach
- 2% TFA Honeydew
- 1% TFA Honeysuckle
Is there more than one version of tfa honeydew? I have it at 0.5% in a recipe and I need to lower it because I still only taste that.
Yes, there's TFA Honeydew II. But I made this out of original Honeydew. It's just one of the many "Honey Pearry" clone-ish recipes from 2015 or so. I tried some others' recipes along these lines but I could not tolerate them because they had like 4% Honeydew and I could not deal with it that high. It sounds like you're sensitive to it like I am, but even more so.
- 6% TFA Pear
- 3% TFA Strawberry
- 2% TFA Honeydew
- 1% TFA Honeysuckle
TPA Strawberry @ 2%
TPA Strawberry Ripe @ 3%
TPA Key Lime @ 2.5%
TPA Dragon Fruit @ 0.5%
Have you ever tried this without the strawberry? I dont have it :(
Somebody here posted one called-
Impeared Judgement
-
TFA-Pear 5%
-
TFA-Bavarian Cream 5%
-
TFA-Peppermint 1%
I've been vaping it for about a month. It's kinda like a pear flavored candy cane. I like it. Thank's to whoever shared this a while back. Iirc the poster said they sold a "boat load" of it at their shop.
Banana Creme
- TFA Banana Cream 7%
- TFA Bavarian Cream 3%
- TFA Vanilla Bean ice cream 1%
Tried a lot of creative additions with FA stuff and hints of others to deepen it... But this ended up best. Although it likely is better with Lorann (from what I have read) and/or a second 🍌 to launch the prime note
