Perfumers Apprentice Flavors

LOL and I thought I was using a lot at 10%
I guess the longer you are off analogs the less amount of flavoring you need.

I'll let you know when I hit the 233 day mark!

There are "some" of the Lorann's that I can easily use at 10% (Blackberry and Butter Rum are two of them), but, with most, I use between 15 - 20%.

I can STRONGLY detect Bavarian Cream at ONE DROP in 5ml, so as I really don't care too much for it anyway, it's pretty much useless to me.

Hey Dan with the TA mixture you have on your calculator, how much do you use in your mixtures? About 2-5%? At 5% PGA my juice is just too strong. I am waiting on my order from PA for my EM and TA to come in, so I am just using PGA right now. Also I was wondering is the EM used primarily to sweeten, because that's the biggest problem I am having, my juices aren't sweet enough?

I use around 2.5% or 10 drops per 10ml.
The EM helps to smooth the tobacco falvor out and gives it a light carmelish undertone and sweetens it a little.
Hope this helps

If you have to use 10-20% of the PA flavours, that's a pity - because those are far too weak then for my taste, and requiring that much flavour does not make them that cheap, either.

Also, I've found flavours that are intended to be used at 1-3 permil, and those consist of 75% PG. I therefore find it hard to believe that flavours have to be that weak. There may be some, but most certainly not all.

Thanks Dan, that does help out!

Dan, I ordered a few of these, can't wait to try them out.

Ordered my PA flavors on Friday and they were in my mailbox today! Now, that's some fast shipping! I ordered Lime, Tangerine, Honey, Cappuccino and Plum I also ordered some TA, but with all this stuff, I'm not sure why now. I used Dan's reccommended 1 drop per ml and made 3ml of each. I can't get enough of this stuff, need to stop tho getting a headach! LOL They all have very strong, in a good way flavor. No chemical taste at all. I'm enjoying the tangerine at the moment but wanted to let you all know how great they are so far.
I even had a hand written note on my receipt from Linda saying "thanks" and to let her know if I don't like any of them.
Now all I need is Corona flavored to go with my Lime...:-)

Yes I also have to agree, they ship very fast! Now after reading some of your posts i will have to try some flavors. Although I am happy with a lot LorAnns flavors there are some I am not happy with.

Just got my shipment in from PA and am very impressed. Almost all of their flavors are very light in color, so less coloring. I have tried the white choc. and caramel mixed and its pretty good. All of their flavors smelled good except the kona coffee, I am afraid to try that one it smells really strange. The cinnamon smells a bit weak in flavor but still good. Almost every other flavor, and I ordered almost all of them, smelled very good, dead on to flavor and very potent. So I am eager to try more and will keep yall up to date on that.

Did you buy their Cappuccino? I've got some ordered and am waiting for it to arrive.... perhaps you could help with my anticipation/expectations if you've tried it? Thanks!

I have not tried the cappuccino yet, it is one of the darker colored ones, I can tell you that. It has a very sweet smell to it, so that is a big plus. I have so many to try, I did try the black cherry, and I have to agree with Dan, it is awesome! I will try the cappuccino tonight and let you know.
