TPA Coconut?

[yamada]

Hi Diy-ers, just wondering is this safe to vape? I mix them @ 10%, tasted the coconut, but was afraid to increase the % due to a couple of reasons - chemical taste, dull taste, etc. What do you guys mix at? Also what are some additives or flavors to enhance it? I really confused like Vienna cream, Sweet cream and all these.

Also looking for a sub for a real coconut though, I've heard FA coconut is the bomb but unsure. TIV!

FA Coconut is definitely more realistic. For TFA coconut I only use up to 1.5%. Have you tried mixing TFA coconut at a low percentage and work your way up? You may be going over where the flavor actually seems to mute itself.

Maybe it's because mine is TFA Coconut "Extra" but 5% made me feel like I just squirted a triple shot of sun tan oil directly into my mouth. I almost threw the bottle of juice, mod and RDA right into the trash but was afraid it would stink up the trash can.

Sorry, to answer your question I mix TFA Coconut Extra at 0.5%-1% max.

FA Coconut is more realistic but I still find uses for the TFA now that I have recovered from the initial test run.

re the safety part of your question: I haven't mixed with TFA Coconut or Coconut Extra but was recently reading the descriptions of them on the TFA site and they both contain diketones, so wouldn't be considered among the safer flavors for vaping. FA Coconut is really tasty (and like all the others in FA's e-cig line), diacetyl, acetoin and acetyl propionyl free. FA Marzipan is really good too. It is an almond flavor, but the two make a sweet combination.

A nice thing about both brands you mention is that if you have questions about a TFA or FA flavor's ingredients you can find out the d-a-ap low down on it with just a few minutes of looking at their websites.

Right! Thanks for everyone input, I vaguely remember FA Coconut taste Gonna order a bunch and mess around. @lirruping what are the % do you use on FA Coconut?

I really like TFA coconut extra. However, I dont give two shits about DA/AP/AC and I like the 'candy' type coconut taste.
It does taste like suntan lotion smells, which makes me feel like im vaping the beach.

I'm going to have to third (fourth? fifth?) the FA Coconut. Anywhere from 1.5-3.5% should do you right. Two to four, there, that's easier. 2-4%, I'd say. FA Coconut is the most delicious of the coconuts.

I agree with Pauly on the suntan lotion but that is what makes me like it. When I think of coconut it is what it tastes like. FA coconut is definitely spot on to real coconut. I use a higher percentage of FA coconut (what Burley has above) than I would with the TFA Coconut.

Coconut extra is definately stronger than FA coconut.

Interesting comparison with the suntan lotion. I always took TFA Coconut Extra as a bit of a sweeter, kind of candy-like coconut.

Like how most banana flavorings taste banana-ish, but TFA Ripe Banana is hitting it spot on for the banana Runts flavor. It's like the candy version of that flavor. That's how I always equated it in my head, anyways.

Looks like your question already got answered, but if you want more examples of percentages for FA Coconut, just cruise the recipe section here - there are dozens of recipes published that use it. Here's a good one:

I worked the door in a titty bar back in my formative years.
It reminds me of a filthy stripper who did not shower after tanning rushing to the club. But then again it was my kind of filth.

"filthy stripper" pfft.
So nice to know you approve of her kind of "filth".
Geez, are all strippers filthy or just the one who forgot to wash suntan oil off?

FA is the most tolerable coconut I've tried that easily accessible to people in the states.
Molinberry's Bounty is a creamy coconut but in the UK. Not sure how easy it would be to get if you lived in the states... And it has additional notes to it that may/may not be detected. (I personally just get creamy coconut)

TFA Coconut Extra....
I dilute mine 1 part Coconut / 9 parts PG, and then use that as a concentrate.
Adds a little sweetness and mouth feel, without going all Hawaiian Tropic on your mix.

I initially mixed it straight up 10%, and it was months before I could go near it again !
Anyways......

I threw my TFA coconut extra in the trash. I genuinely dislike it, obviously. The regular tfa coconut is "ok". I begrudgingly bought FA coconut in the slim hope that it didn't taste like plastic and chemicals. FA coconut is in tons of my personal recipes.

I haven't tried Caps or INW coconut, so I can't speak to their quality, but I see no need to invest in them, since FA is so true and delicious.

Just the ones that are unshowered after tanning and heading into a shift of work, duh.

The only coconut that tastes good to me is FA Coconut.

However I have other coconuts steeping (TPA,FW), but I don't have a lot of faith that they will be better. It seems like every coconut ive tried comes out harsh as hell at any percent.

I have yet to try Capella Coconut
