Who make the best Flavoring

[paso]

I have read alot about flavoring and alot of people like different makers of flavoring. Who makes the best root beer -- Hot cinnamon -- creame de menthe and black chrerry. Thank you for your openions.

I love the Black Cherry from Perfumer's Apprentice Black Cherry Flavor

and Lorann's Creme de Menthe Creme Dementhe Flavor [LORANN] - $1.75 : Electronic Cigarette, e-Juice | ecigExpress (I get mine from ecigexpress).

Haven't tried the other DIY flavors you mentioned.

There is no "best" bud.

And what even defines "best" in your eyes? Because theres a variety of factors that can be criteria used for what defines "best" flavoring and the relevancy of those criteria will differ between people.

For example criteria I can name off the top of my head;
- % flavoring needed to actually taste it (the lower the better IMO)
- How LUSH the flavor is (IMO many flavorings are just not lush/tastey no matter what % you use them at!)
- The actual TONGUE taste element of the flavor
- The actual aromatic smell element of the flavor
- The sensations associated with the flavor (sweetness? sourness? tartness? crispness? creaminess? smoothness? roughness?)


Everyone has their own tastes (literally) so its impossible for there to be any "best" flavoring manufacturer for any given flavor. For example you could have two suppliers Black Cherry flavoring. One is super lush and tastey even at low % concentrations, however the others could have a sensational sweetness and tartness to it but may not be all that "lush" of a taste and may require much higher % flavoring. Which ones the "best"? Depends on the vaper!


With that said. In my journeys thus far ive found FlavourArt and Capella to make very "accurate" flavorings overall (but there are exceptions for both suppliers!). By accurate I mean, their flavorings generally taste very cloes to what the name of the flavoring is. But that doesn't mean they taste the best. LorAnn flavorings tend to have a very synthetic taste to them (dont taste like what you would often expect them to taste like based on their name) but despite that, some of there flavors seem to taste better (more enjoyable) than their more accurate counterparts.

The only real way is simple trial and error. Ive seriously spent a good $400+ dollars on just flavorings so far (and im talking 3ml flavoring bottles!) and im still left searching for more satisfying flavors on the majority of those that ive tried. Goodluck in your searches though!

is there anyone producing a good line of flavoring specifically for DIY e-liquid besides liquidxpress?

the problem iv had with Loranns and other baking/perfumer options is it perminantly flavors your bottles, atomizers droppers etc. now days I get what i need from liquidxpress, but it would be nice to have some more options, preferably at a little better price too.

I only asked for openions for taste of flavors I do not say one maker is better than onother.

nano I love what you said and now I know Your openion but you did not tell me the best root beer or any other of the flavors you like. I know that creame de menthe from loranns is good but do not know any others. I just want openions. Not looking to down one make or another

[NanoVapor]

No problem bud. Theres soo many flavors out there to try I really have only hit the tip of the iceberg myself.

I have yet to vape any black cherry, root beer, or hot cinnamon flavors so I really cant give you any opinions on any manufacturers of those flavors. I do have some FA black cherry enroute to me but not here yet.


If you have a general idea of what flavors your wanting to delve into (and it seems you do) then my best advice would be to pick those flavors, and order from every common flavoring manufacturer of those flavors and then compare.

For example if you want to find a black cherry that suits you, go buy black cherry flavoring from all the manufacturers who offer a black cherry flavor. Its not expensive at all, I use HappyVaper.com to get most of my flavorings as he repackages them into 3ml sampler bottles which are great when your searching for flavors that suit you and dont want to end up with a multi-ounce bottle of flavoring you dont like. Theyre just $3 or so per bottle so its not expensive at all to pickup a bundle of different flavorings and get tasting. But he only stocks 3 brands (FlavourArt, Capella, and LorAnns).


I have used FlavourArts Cinammon flavor (but I wouldnt call it a "hot cinammon" by hot cinammon im led to believe you mean like those hot cinnamon heart candies). FlavourArts Cinnamon did have some hotness to it but it wasnt candyish at all (but I see they also offer a hot cinnamon candy flavoring which I havent tried yet). But I was really impressed with their Cinammon flavor. It tasted very much like how cinnamon smells. You probalby wouldnt want to vape it straight (would be kinda grosse), but it works phenomenal for adding a cinnamon element to any flavor your trying to concoct. It also seems very potent, just 1 drop in 1ml of base can add an almost overpowering level of cinnamon, id recommend starting at like 1 drop in 3ml if your looking to add just a subtler hint of cinnamon to an existing flavor. Once I pickup a solid sweetener agent, I will revist the cinnamon adding sweetener and seeing if it will give me a hot cinnamon candy flavor.


Ill try and get back to this thread after I get a chance to try FA's black cherry. Ill end up trying every manufacturers flavors inevitably, but so far ive just been trying FlavourArts, Capellas, and LorAnns. Once ive tried virtually all their flavorings, ill move onto other manufacturers and see if I can find better.

bombdropsvapor.com uses so maney different kinds and brands of flavoring he told me he uses 6 different brands of flavoring.

Thank all I wanted to try root beer and as for the hot cinnimon and black cherry I wanted to try and make the fireball tasty vapor makes.

Paso, I am still trying to get the whole DIY juice deal figured out. I can tell you that as far as cinnamon, the capella's hot cinnamon candy packs a good punch. It smells really good and mixed with a good pg/vg combo vapes very well. I just got a small sampling of Lorann's (not the flavors you are asking about) but so far I detect an aftertaste. The banana is decent. Taste is really different from person to person and my analog abused tastebuds are still in recovery.

The thing I like about capella's is if you don't like them for vaping they are pretty tasty in food. I use the chocolate brownie in coffee, and once in awhile for a serious chocolate vape hit. It is very good but I can't do it for very long.
