Question about AP

[Huckleberried]

Hey, hi. So for those of you using Acetylpyrazine......... is it supposed to smell this strong before even opened?

I got vape mail yesterday and could smell it when I stepped outside my door! I realize it's to be used in very small amounts since I'm not looking to make Fritos, just using it as an additive.

TIA

Yep Huck, it's fragrant. I agree it smells like Fritos corn chips. My 3ml bottle is barely used, but I wouldn't be without it for RY4.

I needed it for the Fig Newtons that Bryon updated. I think you have it in your Homemade Cheesecake, too. I'm gonna play later. Extra day off this week! Thanks, HIC.

I'm sure you've heard, but: AP is INCREDIBLY STRONG. 1 drop goes a LONG WAY. Some folks even dilute it 10:1. I just make sure I'm careful...

 

[Huckleberried]

You made it here!

 

[Cramptholomew]

I did! It seems our old thread just couldn't hold us anymore. We needed more room, now we're here... ;-)

Yup, it's strong stuff.

some dox on it:

Acetyl Pyrazine 5% PG

taste description:
at 10.00 ppm. Roasted, nutty, bready and yeasty, with popcorn and corn chip nuances
good for graham gracker flavors (enhancer)
Mosciano, Gerard P&F 17, No. 1, 41, (1992)

CAS # 22047-25-2
FEMA # 3126

can use up to 10.0000 ppm in the flavor. (refers to the pure acetyl pyrazine crystals, not the diluted product we sell here)

Yes, that's parts per million..

Is TPA the only brand?

First time I used it, is the only time my family complained about my vape. No...sorry...the second time.
The first time was just from vaping Mt.Baker "rootbeer float" - that shit stunk up the whole damned house.
But yes, AP has a VERY strong smell - get in in your mix and close it up!!

Not sure if anyone else makes it - I've bought it a couple places, but it was TFA every time..

At first, I was like YUCKY!!! And then I was like PIU (aka peeyew)... and then, I was like...oh! Holy macaroni!!! deliciousness!!! because Wingsfan told me to add it to ry4d, and now I like to bathe in it.

8-12% ry4 double
1 drop ap per 5 mls

Steve uses it at 8%
I'm wasteful and like it at 12%

 

[Huckleberried]

Hey, hey Rocket-y.
Signed,
Huck.

I use 1 drop per 10ml in my cinnamon bun recipe.

I've been playing with a little AP in various recipes to try to coax cake flavor, but it's too 'cheesy' to get what I'm after.
With vanillas and creams, it makes great cheesecake ( http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-homevape-cheesecake.1952/ )
But I want CAKE-cake, you know? Has anyone done that?

 

[Smoky Blue]

not unless it's for gingerbread..
it's too much of a nutty, popcorn bread.. at least for me..
not for a true melt in your mouth cake effect..

unless maybe a black walnut or other nut type cake..

 

[HeadInClouds]

Yeah, I just wanna whine about it. Cookies and cheesecake are fine, but I really want some light, fluffy cake without any custard notes. Of course I'll keep playing, but I don't have high hopes.

Hey, new member here.
I am just getting started making my own vape juice. I was wondering just what acetylpyrazine tastes like.

I usually like to mix cinnamon and some kind of berry flavors. But I thought I would play around with things a little.

How would you describe AP?

 

[Heabob]

How would you describe AP?

Frito's if you use too much, I try to stay around 0.5-1% myself.

INW Biscuit & FA Cookie are a couple that have some AP "built in", and are quite good.

AP seems to do different things with different mixes IMO.
Could be enhancing nutty flavors or tobaccos, or adding a little sweetness.
Can also "morph" some other flavors into basically new ones.
Pretty handy if you go easy with it...
