A just made a 10ml of TFA vanilla cupcake at 10% VC and it tastes awful I'm really not getting any vanilla or cupcake taste from it it's almost like a burn taste so I took out my cotton and out new cotton in it and I'm still getting that taste.. what'd I do wrong? Or is it just not a good flavor
It is probably on your coil. You may have to clean everything to get rid of it. You may try vaping a flavorful fruity diy to cover it until it is gone. I do this sometimes when I have fluids that do that. You could try fa white peach/peach or an fa raspberry mix.

I got vanilla cupcake and vanilla bean ice cream. Definitely like the ice cream a lot. I did take the vanilla cupcake and mix some strawberry in it and that wasn't bad.

Just ordered a few more flavors from wizard labs I try to stick with TFA and Loranns and I ordered TFA vanilla cupcake and haven't received it yet but I got my hopes up on it. So does anybody have a recipe for VC our know a good starting percent for single flavor or mixing any advice is greatly appreciated :D

TFA Vanilla Cupcake is going to taste similar to FW Yellow cake. You are getting Vanilla and a Cake Bakery taste with it. No Icing flavor so it is probably not going to blow you away.

If you sub-ohm on a dripper you especially don't want to do 10% of it.. Most concentrates will taste awful if you mix too much or you will not even taste them because they will kill your taste buds and mute your flavor pallet. I would go 2% at the most.


You may want to look into some Icing types like CAP Butter Cream , CAP Cake Batter, TFA Bavarian Cream , TFA Marshmallow, TFA or CAP vanilla bean ice cream

A lot of people will also throw a fruit in at this point just so they will have a more layered and not so simple experience.

You have to realize that the Icing flavors will have the Sweet taste and the TFA Vanilla Cupcake will not really be sweet at all. You would need TFA Sweetener unless you did an Icing and/or something like CAP Sweet Strawberry.

Just adding more TFA Vanilla Cake will not make a recipe sweeter. It will make the recipe taste more like the Vanilla Cake up until you hit the threshold of where it just tastes bad or you can't taste it at all.

I also recommend to not stick with just TFA and LA. I did that back when I first started because I was ordering from ecigexpress and that was about all they carried. Capella and Flavor Art have some amazing flavors that TFA and LA do not have.

Another recommendation is to find popular recipes and mix them instead of trying to go single flavor and/or creating a recipe from scratch. There are guys here that have been doing this for years and you are better off learning what flavor percentages and what flavors work together before you just start throwing stuff together.

Instead of buying like TFA Vanilla Cupcake and say TFA Bubblegum because they both sound amazing. You may want to look up a Cupcake recipe or bubblegum recipe and buy the few flavors listed for that recipe. Reason being is that there are not a whole lot of stand alone flavors out there that will satisfy you if you have been buying premium brand juice from big name retailers.

Not trying to poop on your parade at all. Just stating some things that I wish someone would have told me before I bought a bunch of LorAnn flavors that no one hardly uses in recipes. After wasting a lot of VG I can see why. Not saying LorAnn is bad, but some of them are very potent I know one drop of their raspberry seems to take over most recipes I have tried.

Thank you!! And lately I haven't been too fond of Loranns especially with there strawberry and blueberry and cheesecake they just seem like extremely mild flavors so I really appreciate your advice and think I'm going to start looking up some more recipes I've looked up probably close to 100 recipes these past few weeks and it seems that Im always missing 1 rand two flavors nd when I make them they seem like I'm missing that key ingredient so I made a list of juices to order and saved the recipes that sounded and tasted best. Again thanks for your advice!

After you learn some of the different flavor profiles from each brand then you get some ideas for making some things from scratch.
Also make note of the good recipes you try as to the different brands and flavors used in them.
As an example you may find CAP Bavarian Cream better than TFA Bavarian Cream.
But it takes a long time to collect so many flavors for comparisons.
And when missing certain flavors sometimes you can substitute different brands but may have to adjust the strength.
Because some brands are stronger, or sweeter, or dryer, more tart, etc.

Mary Jane is strong! Try a drop in 10 ml of strawberry custard, for example. ☺

I heard Marry Jane is like a Lemon Grass scent. Not sure if True or not...

The odd part is that I have seen Froot Loops/Pebbles Essential Oil Blends that use one part each of Lemon Grass, Bergamot, and Grapefruit.

What taste/smell do you get from it?

I have mixed tfa van cupcake at 6% with caramel, butterscotch, and marshmallow and got a nice butterscotch cupcake. It took about 3 days for the cake flavor to start coming through. A steep definitely made it better for me.

Sounds good to me. Butterscotch is a good item to be a layer with creams and bakeries. Just like fruits and chocolate.
