I'd stick to the unflavored stuff. Why have a flavor that might not go with the e-juice flavor you're trying to make? Why take a chance that the flavoring might contain something that doesn't vape well? Keep it simple.

Do you happen to know the shipping rates for each?

I would like to find a company that ships by weight for small orders. The S/H fees are larger than my purchase price would be.


thanks in advance.

Stevia or Flavorings?

While it is difficult sometimes to consider it fair to ship a $6 item for $6 in shipping charges, this stuff lasts a long time. For Stevia, it's a lifetime supply for a vaper. I have found it at Whole Foods Market. How much time and gas will you spend to get to one? If you don't have WFM nearby, how much time and gas will you spend looking for a place that does carry it? By the time you consider that, it may cheaper to pay the shipping price.


For flavorings... FlavourArt is expensive to ship and they charge 20% VAT even for US citizens. But the LibertyFlights US site is getting some in a couple weeks. The others are reasonable, in the $6 range, from a US company to a US address. You can find some places that carry the flavorings cheaper, like Betty's Country Store for LorAnn's. Third-party vendors are common for LorAnn. Happy Vaper in Canada carries Capella, but it's very expensive to ship to US addresses.


Shipping purely by weight is rare. Envelopes/boxes cost money, and so does the time required for someone to put the package together. Preparing a brick for shipping takes just as much time as preparing a feather.

I'm going for the flavorings and $6 s/h seems reasonable. It was the 8 and 10 dollars shipping that killed me.

I have one last place to look in town for flavorings and that is a Micheals store on the other side of town. I've been to Walmart, JoAnns with no luck. There is an actual bakery supply store here too. I forgot about that but they want 4 dollars for a dram. I think it's a dram. It could be an ounce but that's too much. I just need a tiny bit to flavor some of this product I have.

thanks for that information Scottes. I really appreciate it.

4 dollars a dram is twice as expensive as I've ever seen LorAnn.

4 dollars an ounce might mean that the flavoring is too weak to bother with. Generally, DIY mixing for vaping needs concentrated flavorings.

I would be running to the bakery supply store. Even if it's $4 a dram then it's still $4 cheaper after shipping, right? I wish we had a baking supply store around here - not that I'm even in the boonies but I can't find any that carry any flavorings.

Sometimes I think I'm in the boonies but we have a Micheals and so you must. If I drive to Micheals and they do not carry flavorings I will not sometimes think I live in the boon-hills I'll know it for sure.
