Regarding TFA flavorings:
I see a lot of questions from people asking if they can use "this" instead of "that" in many of the posted, tried recipes....
As user on another forum answered; "Yes but you will not get the intended results".
This is because "flavorings" are building blocks, they are not complete "tastes", or what we perceive as a taste when we eat foods.
Extracts are much closer to what we taste when we eat those foods associated with those extracts, but they (extracts) are much more expensive, and a whole lot harder to blend into complex "food recipes".
Extracts also tend to have particulate in them from what they were extracted from, even though filtered and microscopic, if successfully blended and vaped they would gunk up really bad; similar to NET' (naturally extracted tobacco flavors).
Here some spice examples:
Garlic & Salt mixed in certain proportions gives us a garlic salt concoction, pretty good but not my favorite just as Garlic Salt...
Lawry's Garlic Sal; it contains course ground salt, granulated garlic, modified food starch (adds body, prevents caking), sugar, parsley, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (increases flavor stability, adds body), carrot oil (adds color and taste), garlic oil.
Now then the second seasoning I will put on virtually everything! (I love garlic)...:thumb: No vampires here...LOL
But it's not "just" Garlic Salt..now is it!
So do you see where I'm going here...
One is plain old Garlic Salt, the other although marketed as a Garlic Salt is really a spice blend, whole different end tasting result just by adding some stuff, be it salt and garlic are still the primary components.
Remember all of the TFA flavors are building blocks that make the "pie" taste like the desired end result...unless you have a culinary education, specializing in confections, it is very difficult to fathom A+B=F! ( I know I'm not too great at it )!
My big brother is a master chef, he went to CIA and I am always amazed at what he can throw together; it's because he has learned that A+D=G so to speak, by adding this and that ingredient, spice, whipped with this kind of fat or starch gives you "this" kind of sauce so to speak....
Now if we could get a master confection chef in here that vapes...OH MY!
