[icemanmaz]

Just wanted to know if anyone had tried and also are they safe.

Glycerine (contains) Glycerine

Almond flavour (contains) alcohol,water,flavourings.

peppermint (contains) water,isopropanol,flavouring

I've used the Glycerine and the Vanilla flavour from supercook.
I can't comment on their absolute safety but no obvious harmful effects.

I would be interested in others comments on the peppermint ingredients.

I switched to a different brand of Glycerine from a pharmacy as it was significantly cheaper than super cook's and at least as good quality.

I've used Supercook vanilla and couldn't taste it, even dripped neat. Ordinary food flavourings don't do anything for me, I use the concentrated LorAnn ones now.

I'm still a little bit confused of what not to use to flavour DIY liquid.
What is the opinion of this stuff being safe to use?

The sugar will burn your atomiser, but vanilla extract that contains only water and alcohol should be fine.

Don't use any oil-based flavourings or those that contain artificial colours and aim at a total water content of your juice of less than 20% (i.e. don't drip water/alcohol-based flavourings neat). I think e-juice is already around 80% PG/VG, so if you need to add a lot of flavourings (the Supercook ones are very weak), you'll have to mix in more glycerine.

I'm using Supercook glycerine for my mixes.

Thanks. I diluted some Vanilla Juice which is too strong with SC Glycerine and wanted to top up the flavour.

I'm a bit confused on the LorAnn flavors. I was under the impression you avoided oils whenever possible Kate but when I go to the LorAnn site, all I see are oils. Am I reading something wrong? Trying to get this all straight before I start home brewing hehe

Hi Stytches, welcome to the forum.

LorAnn call the candy flavourings oils but they are not all oil based, it's a bit misleading really. A lot of them have propylene glycol and alcohol bases.

Oh whew, can't wait to try them out then. Thanks
