FLAVOR PRODUCTION
• FLAVOR COMPLEXITY
• SOME FLAVORS PRODUCED REQUIRE JUST
A FEW COMPONENTS WHILE OTHERS MAY
CONTAIN 20 -30. WHY?
• VANILLA FLAVOR IS A GOOD EXAMPLE .
FOR CERTAIN APPLICATIONS, E.G.,
INEXPENSIVE ICE CREAM, PRODUCERS
HAVE FOUND THAT A SINGLE FLAVOR
CHEMICAL - VANILLIN - MAKES A
SATISFACTORY FLAVOR. BUT TO MAKE A
HIGH QUALITY VANILLA FLAVOR MAY REQUIRE
15 - 20 CHEMICALS. IN NATURE, HOWEVER,
OVER 140 FLAVOR CHEMICALS ARE FOUND IN
NATURAL VANILLA. THE FLAVORISTS JOB IS
TO FIND THE IMPORTANT MATERIALS THAT
PROVIDE THE DESIRED FLAVOR EFFECT AND
YET USE ONLY THE MINIMUM NUMBER REQUIRED .
• THERE ARE OVER 1800 FLAVOR MATERIALS ON
THE GRAS LIST. AND MOST FLAVORS PRODUCED
IN NATURE CONTAIN HUNDREDS (OR THOUSANDS
IN THE CASE OF THE TOBACCO LEAF) . WE
MUST BE THANKFUL THAT THE FLAVORIST CAN
SELECT MANY LESS TO OBTAIN SIMILAR EFFECTS . ]]> DIY e-liquid clownin419 http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/50328-tobacco-flavor-info.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/50325-bumper-stickers-vapers.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:09:48 GMT I work for a printing company and have the facilities to produce bumper stickers.

I was trying to see if there was a convenient way for me to carry it around like I used to with my cigs (or actually still do, this is my second attempt at quiting with e-cigs) but I'm worried the button is gonna get pushed down in my pocket. So my question is, if I unscrew the atomizer and store both the atomizer and base together in a case is the possibility of accidentally pushing the button now pointless? What I mean is if I don't have the atomizer screwed on the base then does that stop the connection from being made when the button is pushed or is it just best to always remove the battery if I'm throwing it in my pocket?

Do you guys carry this thing around with you throughout the day and if so how do you transport it? Any good cases? Or is the protege strictly an at home/desk/car vape for you? If so, what do you use for going out? ]]> Puresmoker hueysds http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/puresmoker/50324-transport-options.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/50323-im-very-unhappy.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:06:36 GMT I'm very unhappy with the cartomizers V4L have been selling.
I have boxes and boxes of them sitting here.

For the last days I have been using about 4 new ones a day, because they are DRY.
Then when I refill them with juice 10 puffs later they are dried out!
I open them up and they are burned.
I will not inhale that, so I open new cart after new cart.

What to do?

Steve claims to have the best "warranty" in the business.

What does that mean?

1. Can I use the carts, sent them back as proof they are burned.
2. How would Steve know that I can only use them for a short while.
3. Do I have to put in a new order, for these very defective carts to be replaced?

I can go on and on.

I want some clarification from V4L what to do about this disaster.

It is unacceptable to have to use 4 carts a day, at the cost of about $ 3.00 a piece.

I never had this problem before till now.
If I did have that problem I never would have ordered so much as I have. ]]> Vapor4Life emberl http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/50323-im-very-unhappy.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/50322-thinking-getting-my-dad-kit-christmas.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:05:32 GMT So he's a 2-pack a day smoker for I would say 30+ years and only smokes camel full flavors. I've got a 10ml bottle of 24mg camel juice unopened I was gonna give him, and get him a 510 kit from cignot with a pcc. I asked my mom and she said he doesn't want to quit, and she's tried many times to get him to.

He knows I use them, and even tried a hit off of mine when he was down last month. I'm not sure if he liked it too much, but it would make me and the rest of my family really happy to see him quit.

Steve, Mark!! I sent Steve an email yesterday at 530pm cst and have not received any response.

My first ever order from V4L had arrived, but was missing the
most important item - a Passthru, as mine (from another supplier)
died last Saturday.

The juices and carts I ordered were just to try some of your flavors, but I REALLY NEEDED THAT PASSTHRU.

Please have someone read my email and get back to me.

Just a note concerning Chris and VAPURE, Chris sent me a PM concerning the review I posted re: JC juice mislabeling and customer service issues at The Black. He offered to send me both JC original and the Expresso so I could see what they taste like.

I sent him my address and within a few days I received a package with not just sampler bottles, but full 15ml of both the Original and the Expresso. Also in the package were sample sized bottles of Simply Strawberry and Mint Chocolate. Several small dropper bottles and eyedroppers in 2 sizes were included as well. I will Try them all and post reviews soon.

I do want to give Kudos to Chris at VAPURE for the way he has handled this issue. It is a real plus to see concern for a customer's disappointment. ]]> Vapure lexgar http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapure/50317-chris-vapure-customer-service.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/50316-looking-convert-trying-find-white-510-reasonable-price.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:42:34 GMT Anyone know where to look?

But I don't know anything about the seller, or they reputable (i.e. will they replace DOA items?) Reasonable shipping times? Also I found this deal that come with everything but the gift box for $10 cheaper. It's black but I can deal with that.

Again, I know nothing about the seller. If you guys could point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful.

Pear Cart (24mg)- Not what I expected, got some 5ml juice awhile back, added it to a green tea cart, LOVED it... pretty much a green apple jolly rancher taste. The cart by itself, yuckk. Though I did order some juice and hopefully that balances it out.

Parlament (24mg)- Tastes like RY4, which I am not partial to. I used to smoke Parliaments (been analog free for a month now) and this is my first tobacco flavored cart, but I don't care for it.

Orange Juice- Excellent throat hit and vapor!!! But no different than the orange 20ml bottle I've had. Would still recommend.

Green Tea- My Vape Hands Down!!!! Glad I ordered extra as I was not impressed by the other flavors... but to each his/her own of course.

Also got a few things for my mother who is going to try quitting. She got a few flavors I haven't tried and have yet to sample. The order was as more than asked (as usual), and in perfect timing.

I love V4L and their outstanding service and freebies every time. But they sent me a passthru (for free) this order, and sadly, it didn't work at all!!! Luckily my original still works just fine. ]]> Vapor4Life psillyrabbit http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/50314-recent-flavor-review.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/innovapor/50312-thank-you-innovapor.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:29:32 GMT I would just like to say that I have been buying supplies from Innovapor since July and I will continue to be a repeat customer.

When your products are in stock, I receive my orders quickly. When your products are not in stock and/or are on back order, you post that info on your site so I know there will be a delay in receiving my order, and that's OK. When I've had a problem with a product (RARE!), you have resolved the problem quickly and without a big hassle.

I recommend you to my friends who want to start vaping, and to those who already vape.

Hey Guys,

I think that the tire clip is a great way to carry a 510 but as a guy I just dont want it hanging from my neck, but I love the functionality. I think I may have a solution. I took a standard black pen cap ( ya know the ones with the metal shirt pocket clip). and with a little effort it slid over the led end of my 510!! I suspect that with a little heat (aka lighter) you could soften the plastic so it would mold that way and be a sung fit for you 510 to rest in. I hope this helps! ]]> Silence http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/50310-510-clip-dudes.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nhaler/50308-xhaler-bling.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:18:04 GMT A little Xhaler bling. I just can't leave things alone. I have to play. I stripped it down to bare aluminum, turned a few grooves into it and then gave it a few coats if fine flake Blue. (it's all I had available) Between the grooves are 3 - 2mm Rubies set in 24K gold bezels. The atomizer cap has some simple carvings applied and has been polished. The button housing has carvings as well along with another 2mm ruby embedded in the button.
