I see what you mean, I’ve been being misled this entire time
So what you’re saying is that TFA never actually calls any of their flavors “signature” correct?
It’s looking that way, I’m researching it now

That’s what I was trying to point out (or else learn something new in the process)!
I’ve never seen the word Signature (as any kind of branding) anywhere on TFA’s site that I can recall.

I think “misled” may be a tad harsh, but I can easily understand how is it’s definitely “confusing”, and arbitrarily complicating things for those new to mixing. =(
Very sorry for adding to that muh’lady!
/tips hat
Right, maybe not so much misleading as it is just confusing. I don’t really understand the point of rebranding these flavors (they do the same thing to real flavors and medicine flower), seems like it just leads to confusion.

this is what I learned from ECX:
The “Signature” line of products that we carry are in fact “TFA” products. In addition the “DX-Signature” line that we carry is the “diketone” free line of flavors that TFA carries. They are in fact as you say TFA flavors and the “DX” ones are the diketone free ones that TFA produces. I hope this helps clarify.

Here is what Bill from TFA told me:
Hello!
We use “DX” to mark flavors that have been reformulated to avoid the use of Acetoin / Acetyl Propionyl.
I’m not sure what “signature” means, that’s not a label we use on our products. You may want to clarify this with your vendor.
Best,
Bill

Ok. At least that’s confirmation! =)
Nothing more than creative marketing at it’s finest (sadly).
As far as TFA goes, it’s all one “line” (TFA branded products). ECX is trying to make it “easy to find” the DX versions, but is compounding the situation by suggesting they are actually separate lines.
/smh
What a cluster&#%@

And that’s common knowledge.
Same thing as “v2” is to Capella.
If diketone free is important to you, then in the simplest terms (when talking about Capella or TFA), you need to be looking for v2 and DX respectively.
Short and sweet. Ignore all the unnecessary rebranding BS.

One last thing before I get back on topic:
The Perfume Apprentice (TPA) created The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) in order to create a clear separation between the food safe flavoring and the perfuming products. All of their goods are organized by the same staff members, and you may order any combination of flavors and perfume items.
So you have to exercise caution to be sure you don’t purchase perfume fragrances when your searching for flavors.

seriously??..is that true??
ALL mine are TPA…
No I mean every single bottle I have from Vapable has the PA logo on it…every single one…
Are they wrong??
Fragrance oils are definitely not food safe flavors and shouldn’t be used for food or vaping. But dont panic, what flavors do you have? where did you buy them? are they labeled as fragrances?
can you upload a pic of one of the bottles?
They too are just labeling them as TPA but they are actually TFA flavors, safe for vaping
From their web site:
“The Perfumer’s Apprentice and The Flavour Apprentice are the same company and the products are the same. We only use the Perfumer’s Apprentice name because it is more widely recognised.”
