Uses for old flavor concentrates
submitted over 6 years ago by WILLY_LEE1

So I have a lot of older flavors and flavors that I will never use. Was wandering if it was possible to use them in the wife’s essential oil diffuser? Also my wife makes candles could they be used to add fragrance to them? If it works it would get my wife off my back about having so many concentrates. Lastly how old before you won’t use a concentrate any longer. Thanks

Under no circustances should you attempt to use TFA Honey for such. Unless makong a gift scented candle to give to a crazy cat lady.

As for the usable life of a concentrate... It depends on the flavor, conditions it's been stored ib, and the container it's been stored in.

Why do you say that?

Do you seriously want to make rooms smell like cat piss?

Sorry, I’m new to all this. I have no idea what tfa honey tastes like or what it would smell like if burnt.

The other name for that flavor is TFA Cat Piss. Think about it.

Shit I work in a juice manufacturing lab and we play with concentrates a lot. If you have a soda stream carbonator or just want flavored water try adding a .1% at a time. It is much stronger in food/water than on a vape (found out the hard way). I like .2% LB blue razz with .1% tfa pomegranate w some honey lol. As for candy I have used LA Lemonade and FW Watermelon candy with unflavored gelatin, corn syrup and citric acid to make some sour gummies. One of our guys makes mixers for alcoholic beverages. Guy that drops our FW concentrates says that the coca cola plant near by uses their stuff in sodas.

I found once 10ml of banana ripe that was at least 3 years old and still taste fine. Creams and custards might be an issue though.

Actually, they're far less likely to be a issue than citrus, and the non-creamy fruits. (Most of them other than coconut or banana)

Yes, citrus concentrates seem especially bad about fading. I've started labeling mine with purchase date and vendor name.

One of the reasons I ask I thought I heard u/mlNikon say on the latest episode of Noted that she used a flavor to sent her bathroom. Or maybe I heard wrong.

Do you use it in a diffuser or candle warmer?

I have dripped flavors into my essential oil diffuser. They aren’t as strongly scented as the essential oils but they work to a degree. I actually got the idea from a vape shop that was doing it with juices.

I bought a 4-oz bottle of INW Eucalyptus with Mint for my wife to use in her diffuser; she likes it, and used about half the bottle last winter.
