    Default Flavors for chocolates and more?

    I picked up some lorann's an noticed two of them aren't simply labeled flavor, but flavors for chocolates and more. They are irish cream and vanilla. The irish cream is just natural and artificial flavors, the vanilla is natural and artificial flavors and PG and ethyl alcohol. Are these okay to use in e-juice or not?

    The ingredients are OK, though any vanilla which lists "artificial ingredients" may contain vanillin, which has caused concerns among other vapers.

    The bolded red statements make me worry about gunking up atomizers. And I'm worried whether it will even vape well, but that's just a guess.

    If you're bold and adventurous I'd give the Irish Cream a try. If you like it a lot it may be worth putting up with cleaning atomizers (if it even causes a problem).

    IMHO I would not vape them, but that's just me, my paranoia, and the fact that I can't find any information about vaping these flavors. I am not bold or adventurous when it comes to inhaling stuff.

    I may be wrong, but vanillin is vanillin - right? Regardless of the source, that's what gives vanilla its flavor. Natural extracts just contain additional organic compounds while synthetic vanilla flavorings are mostly just vanillin. Right? Or is Alton Brown steering me in the wrong direction for the first time?

    I don't understand how it works completely. It seems that the source of flavor in natural vanilla is vanillin. But what I DO know is that I finally tracked down the trigger of my "whirlies" to vaping artificially flavored vanilla. It makes me feel almost stoned, but not in a pleasant way at all. It's bad enough that I was unable to function behind the wheel of a car. Once I eliminated any flavorings that used artificially flavored vanilla, it was gone. Perhaps it is something that is involved in the process of creating artificial vanilla?

    When I first had the problem, I eliminated anything with caramel coloring because it seemed to hit after vaping those. I selectively added them back into use one by one until I found which of those flavors gave me "the whirlies". Any e-liquids with natural vanilla were fine. Those with artificial vanilla (vanillin) were definitely not.
