However just tried dripping pistachio.... HEAVEN!!!!

Haha yes, I just found a bottle of that in a store here too (rather weak as to taste; but better then nothing). It's nice indeed. And what is extra nice for me: I'm allergic to most nuts (just like I am to banana); and e-smoking away I can enjoy these things anyhow!

Hehe no worries, it's also my fault - I missed the other posts about flavours and I had no idea what you were talking about

I had wondered about that. I am allergic to nuts too. But I had been hesitant to try the nut flavors because I have no way to know if they have any nut oils.

If it has nut-oil in it, I would advise against it. Not because of you: but all atomizers are allergic to all oils

As to the allergy: it is possible that allergies differ. I am allergic to the fresh thing; but after heating enough, the allergens (for me) are gone. Walnut is the only one that doesn't lose enough to be able to take it after heating. Guess it's try and see for you, good luck

Not sure if this will help, but:

Bickford's list only PG and "natural flavorings" on the products I have tried; however they do have some that read "soy oil" and i steer clear of those for the aforementioned atomizer issues...

Honestly I think I will just skip the nut flavors.
Nut oils - the type used for cooking are generally OK if they are super filtered. But there is no way to know if the flavors used in these things have pulled the allergen out. Its possible that the very thing that makes me allergic is in the flavor constituents.

As to my allergy - I cant touch nuts raw or cooked. Soy is ok and so are peanuts but they are legumes, not nuts. Any true nut though is a potential death trap. When I first discovered my allergy it was only walnuts and pecans. But over time I have had to add almonds, hazelnuts, cashews and brazil nuts.
I also used to be able to eat products that were labeled "this product is produced in a factory that handles nuts" (something like that). But after having a reaction to a bakery bran muffin (no nuts) I have simply quit trying.

I found a site that sells Bickford's Extracts. They don't list the ingredients. Can anyone tell if this is the pure extract that I can use for mixing or do I need to email them and ask? http://www.foodzar.com/Extracts_s/527.htm

Just out of curiosity, what about strawberries? As far as I know it's more a nut than a berry (or many nuts, the little kernels that are all over it) so I would think that they're harmfull, too

Personally -- i would go straight to the source:
http://www.bickfordflavors.com/cpack_1.asp?id=144

any that read: Propylene Glycol and Natural Flavors, should be fine....

HAPPY MIXING!

Klaue - strawberries are a fruit and those little bits are seeds. Seeds are OK for me. But there are plenty of people allergic to strawberries.
