    Default Another nub question with this DIY stuff

    Hello guys,

    I tried miximg some of my liquid with the Loranns flavors tonight and I could not do it....

    I have tried using a "tobacco" flavored juice - 18mg and adding 10-15% Loranns flavoring to that and it just stays the same...

    Probably because the so called "tobacco" juice is too sweet...which I actually like...but...whatever I try the taste, smell ...flavor stays the same as the original juice...

    My question is...Should I only use UNflavored Juice when doing this ?

    I thought that it might work with pre-flavored juice but no luck up to now...


    Help me pleaase

    E-liquids have a saturation level and the tobacco flavoured might not absorb much more flavouring. Also the flavour could be too strong for your Lorann to have any effect. Try something like ECOpure Fresh which has minimal ingredients and will accept flavouring or TW unflavoured - I added some Peppermint to some ECO and it was lovely.

    I`m a kind of disappointed as I thought this is going to be easy...

    - mix some liquid with some Loranns flavoring and that`s it.

    It turns out to be a lot more complicated than I thought...

    Now I need to order some unflavoured juice.. I think I`ll go to BestEcig.com

    Am I on the right path now... ?

    Hope you don't mind if I piggy back on your thread here. I don't yet have enough posts to start my own thread and there's a question that I have also.

    I like a sweet taste. Is there anyway to make a DIY that is sweet tasting. I am getting the flavor, but there is no associated sweetness.

    Any ideas?

    Btw, or fyi, I did get some Johnson Creek Original as a sample with my starter kit and it had a sweet taste. So...I know it's possible, but how?

    I thought that the glycerine would provide the sweetness, but it's not.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions offered.

    No way to add sweetness? (that we know of?)

    Last night I tried dissolving some artificial sweetener in warm water and then added a drop to a fresh newly filled cart. This kind of worked (it did taste sweeter) but when I added more, the aftertaste was nasty. I need to look around for liquid sweetener and try that.
    :tongue:

    Thanks for trying that!

    Wonder what it would be like if you added that sweetener to some glycerin instead of water? Since glycerin is kinda sweet to begin with, maybe wouldn't need as much?

    What kind of sweetener did you use?

    I was just thinking...

    I wonder if "high fructose corn syrup" is used for the sweetness? It isn't exactly a sugar is it, and it is thin as water (from what I have seen of it on TV anyway).

    Now, I'm thinking glucose, sucrose... hmmm... those sweeteners, I think, can be gotten in the low sugar (diabetic) aisle at the grocery store.

    hmmm...

    People around here say to avoid any sugar in your juice because it will caramelize on your atomizers' coil.

    Right you are, indeed. I knew that, but I also know that there are sweet tasting e juices out there, and they aren't that way due to the PG, VG or nicotine ingredients (nor due to the LorAnn's flavorings that I have tried).

    I have been doing a little reading about the different "croses" i.e sucrose, glucose, fructose...

    Nothing definitive yet...

    Just trying to find out what it is so that I can please my taste buds and keep my atomizer happy too.

    Thanks for mentioning that about the sugars and atomizers. Some may not have known this and could have killed an atomizer.
