I was hoping someone could help me...

If you want to find it locally, I did see a few - very few - flavors of Lorann's at Walmart. I would also suggest looking for a specialty shop in your area that specializes in baking supplies. I know there are a few in my area, there should be some in other areas as well.

Sorry didn't notice it was posted in the DIY liquid forum.

I think I'm gonna have to reduce my nic intake.

lol no worries.

Thanks for the suggestions, Ripley and Nicowolf. I'm going to stop by walmart tomorrow and see what I can find. I'll let everyone know if my search is successful.

I don't know if I'll try the food coloring experiment though... Just exhaling a cloud of green smoke would be very disturbing!

I think I saw a post about someone trying that out but it didn't work if my memory serves me correct.

Yes, Cucu this gets asked occasionally, lol. I want to vape green for St Patrick's day but unfortunately it's been tried and doesn't work.

TBob tried it with food colourings and everything got coloured - teeth, mouth, device, probably lungs but not the vapour

Ok. Just got back from Walmart. They had the LorAnn Flavoring! So I got some of that and I need to know if I got the right kind of glycerin.... It was the only kind that I could find in the store...

It was in the pharmacy section and it's called Glycerin Skin Protectant....
It says in the ingredients are:

GLycerin 99.5%
Anhydrous.............Skin Protectant

Is this the right stuff or no? Should I inhale it?

One more thing, can I use regular water or does it have to be distilled? If it does then why?

Oh, yeah! It also says on the bottle of the Glycerin... skin soak and aromatherapy bath... if that helps at all...

[Kate]

If your glycerine says USP, BP or food grade then it's ok. If it doesn't you need to email the manufacturer and ask.

Distilled water has no minerals or junk to clog your atomiser. I don't know how critical a problem ordinary tap water is.

Danny,

I saw similar glycerin in Rite Aid but was afraid to try it because it was a skin protectant. I then found some at Michael's craft store in the candy making aisle so I got that instead. I thought someone else here bought the one you mentioned. Don't know how that worked out though.

Those Lorann flavors....did you notice if they have coloring in the ingredients? I know Kate mentioned something before about inhaling coloring so I made sure I got the ones that didn't have it.

Distilled water....gallons at walmart, where the rest of the water is. You'll have more than you'll ever need!

Thanks, Kate! Yes, it says USP Glycerin on the front of the bottle.

So that means it's safe even though it says it's skin protectant?

The flavor I got was Peppermint. Has anyone tried this yet?

No, it doesn't have coloring in it. The only contents is natural peppermint oil.

[Kate]

Yes, USP is as pure as you can get, that's fine to use.

I don't know how much oil would be in your peppermint, I usually avoid oils if I can. That's not always possible, there are trace amounts in a lot of flavours. Just be warned that there is a chance of it leaving residue on your atomiser and reducing performance. The health implications are unknown so be alert for signs of sensitivity.
