LorAnn candy flavours

[Kate]

There are some nice LorAnn candy flavours and they can be obtained for delivery to the UK cheaper than Bickford flavours so I thought a thread about them might be useful.

They can be bought from Barry Farm in the US (they are in 1 dram bottles/3.7ml for $1.59 each. Delivery to the UK costs $22.50) - LorAnn Candy Flavoring Oils or, for those in the States, direct from LorAnn - https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super...andy-oils.aspx

Check ingredients before you buy, they aren't all suitable. Alcohol (ethanol), propylene glycol, glycerine and flavourings are probably ok to vapourise. Oil, sugars and colourings are probably not ok. I don't know if they affect atomisers, I'm still trying them out.

I've got these flavours, the ingredients are ok:

Apple
Blackberry
Bavarian Creme
Bubble Gum
Butter
Vanilla Butternut
Pralines Creme
Pomegranate
Pistachio
Pecan
Mint Chocolate Chip
Mango
Key Lime
Cranberry
Coconut
Cheesecake
Chocolate Hazelnut

I've only tried a few so far.
Apple is not a strong taste, not worth buying.
Coconut ditto.
Bubble gum is nice and it's a strong flavour.
Cranberry ditto.
Pralines cream is to die for, totally yummy.

Some of these flavours are very concentrated and you only need a small amount in diy juice to get a strong flavour. I use about 10% of the mix volume usually.

thanks kate, these guys deserve their own thread. i hope to check out some their liquids soon enough. would like a good concentrated flavour to give the loongs some taste. keep us updated on what you like. praline does sound good.

I will Dc, as I try them I'll report back. It's going to take a while to work through all those bottles but I'll get there.

I placed an order yesterday (yay!) and for six items postage was $10 (there was an initial "international order" rate of $17 but they stated that they would refund any underspend so I emailed them and asked and... hey presto - $7 refund!) If anyone else is thinking of ordered I would recommending adding a comment when paying by paypal requesting a refund of any shipping overpayment!

[Kate]

That's a better deal for postage, maybe mine was so much because I got nineteen bottles.

I've remembered something that I should post here. When I checked for ingredients on the Barry Farm website the chocolate and grape flavours don't show any colourings in the ingredients list. When the bottles arrived and I checked the bottle labels they both had colours in so I decided not to use them. The rest of the flavours listed in my first post are ok for ingredients.

I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions Brunette. I tried some ordinary food flavourings too but they weren't very strong compared to some of the LorAnn flavours.

[brunette]

the website did say that these are concentrated whereas many others are watered down.. maybe thats why others do not compare.

I will report back when they arrive!

This is a great post Kate - thanks!

I will be watching this thread with anticipation & hopefully will contribute myself soon - once the credit card resumes function.

Have your flavours arrived yet Brunette? What have you tried and what do you think of them?

How about you Janet, you got some LorAnn flavours recently too, what are your thoughts?

Have you taken the plunge yet Ruby or Dc?

I haven't tried any other flavours since my first post here but I retried the apple. I put it in some diy juice at about 20% and can taste it now, I just wasn't using enough before. I'll try the coconut again in higher quantities when I make another mix and report back.

I'll write something about it later on the Wicked thread on the review board Rusty. I haven't given it a proper try yet so it wouldn't be fair to say much.
