The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Sweetener adds clear, immediate sweetness that brightens fruits, rounds desserts and gives candy sheen without imposing its own flavour. Ideal for taming bitterness and balancing tart mixes. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of water/ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller bottles (not the original packaging).

- Desserts: smooth edges in creams/vanillas at 0.25–0.5%—keep lead flavours in front.
- Tobaccos: 0.1–0.3% in RY4/caramels for a softer finish without heaviness.
- Cooling builds: with Menthol Liquid 0.2–0.6% for a sweet, fresh slush.

FAQ
Does it add flavour?
Not really—primarily sweetness at normal %.
Will it make mixes heavy/sticky?
At high % yes. Stay ≤1% so the main flavours stay bright.
What order should I balance?
Dial in acid/fizz first (Sour/Sweet & Tart), then add Sweetener last.
Does it affect coils?
Higher % can increase buildup—use modestly and re-wick more often.
PG-carried and must be diluted?
Yes—water-soluble, PG-carried concentrate to dilute in base.
