Calling all DIY'ers

Can anyone recommend a decent Apple flavour, currently have Fuji Apple but looking for something a bit sweeter, more a of golden delicious apple than a tart apple. Don't want a candy or artificial tasting apple.

I've not been able to find one. Fuji apple may be a great apple, but I don't like that apple.

TFA green apple won't work either.
 
@Mike thanks for the feedback. It's a tricky one to work with, anything over 3% I find it gets a chemical flavour to it, and I've found it needs time to steep and air.

Anyone tried TFA double apple?

3% is pretty high for Fuji, it's best at around 1-2% (imo)

How about INW Two Apples? Any feedback @Mike ?
Got a bottle here but haven't tried it yet.

Ive tried tfa double apple, disgusting stuff! Used once @ about 3% in a mix and destroyed flavour. Like an old off perfume taste... tfa apple to me is more like a real apple flavour. Green apple also is not nice, ill stick to tfa apple always :)
 
Is fuji apple a nice apple I've heard people rave about it

I love Fuji Apple. I think it's the most realistic apple - not candy or Apple juice like - it's like eatint a proper apple. IMO :)

But admittedly I get sick of apple quickly.

Busy making this, credit for the base recipe goes to @method1 posted many pages back with a clone for Indian Giver.

I tried his mix and it was very good, thought I would tweak it a bit to bring out the crust of the deep fried icecream.

Had to sub Cap VBIC and Cap VC V1 because I have run out, with those 2 being 2 of the tastiest concentrates.

Nice, let me know how it turns out, also be very interested to try this with the original CAP ingredients, as that's what really makes the original recipe work, but this should be pretty interesting using the TFA.
 
Is Cap sugar cookie v1 and v2 very different in taste? Is V2 a possible substitute or will it not work in a mix that require v1 as the main ingredient?

They really are very different, you can sub with decent results but it's never as good in my experience.
If it's the main profile then it's usually a waste of time, if it's a supporting note there's more chance that it'll work.

Thanks for that. I always prefer V1 and DX free. Not to worried about diketones. I wonder why vendors no longer want to keep the DX free and v1

In the case of sugar cookie, it's on the no-fly list due to "fire hazard" ;-(
 
@method1 I'm busy with trying to get a chocolate milk going for a Choco Pops idea I had. I'm just not getting the chocolatey flavour from Double Choc Clear TFA, it's there but it just tastes raw and rough IYKWIM. I added 0.5% EM and it seems better, do you think I should add more.

This is what I have so far that given me the best results:

Double Choc clear TFA 6%
Milk (it's in a vape-o-wave bottle not sure of flavour brand house) 2%
Sweet Cream TFA 2%
Vanilla Custard TFA 1%
EM 0.5%

I think I should add maybe 1.5% EM as after adding 0.5% the chocolate tasted a bit better. But that could just have been a placebo effect.

Was thinking of looking for a Chocolate milk recipe to start off but it's been a blast this weekend trying to get it right by myself.

Yeah some people don't get much choc taste from double choc, pushing the % up beyond 6% probably won't help.
You can try sweetening it up with a mix of EM and sucralose, (1% of each) that should make it pop out a bit more.

Maybe also cut back on the creams/dairy a little to give the choc some room, it's not a very strong flavour imo.

I know VoW have FW milk, might that in the bottle :p

Thanks I'll drop the Sweet cream down to 1% and remove the milk concentrate and get the FW Milk. Thanks for the input :D
