    Flavor Loss - Is it the Plastic or the Sweetener??

    I went home Friday and checked on my test bottles of sugar cookie. The ones with sucralose and steevia were pretty much gone scent and flavor wise. The one without sweetener was okay, but still not as it was when I mixed it. I am probably wrong, but it may be a mixture of the plastic and the...

    Flavor Loss - Is it the Plastic or the Sweetener??

    Please do let us know. I did buy some lemon juice, but haven't used it in those mixes yet. I will try that. I wish I knew for sure! The ones I have that are mixes are from different companies. The white chocolate is TPA, but the sugar cookie is Capella's.

    Flavor Loss - Is it the Plastic or the Sweetener??

    We are having the exact same problem. I get my nic base and VG from Wizard Labs. I may have to try some Now VG. I'll post more in a second. Oh, I use a 50/50 mix.

    Flavor Loss - Is it the Plastic or the Sweetener??

    Yes, that is what is happening to me also. I'll make a single post here in a minute with a few results. I use about 1 drop (of my solution of which I don't know show strong it is) per 5ml. I do seem to think it may be the plastic with the sucralose compounding the problem. More later...

    Nature's Flavors

    I had my order, three one ounce bottles, and was ready to check out when the flat rate shipping charge of 9.95 came up. I didn't place my order. That is just way too much in my opinion even if it does include tax. Darn it. It costs you 5.00 just to go pick it up if you happen to live in...

    Vision Ego Stardust less flavor?

    I think the flavor is great in the low resistance ones. The cracking is a problem, but I believe they have improved those with the longer wick version. V2 or V3 according to Vision website. I put straight ripe banana flavor in a one I broke trying to trim the wick and after an hour, it...

    Vision clearomizer V2 and Vision clearomizer V1 are in stock, which you prefer?

    Just to update this...I don't think I'll be buying the long-wick ones again. Both of them flood constantly (with at 50/50 mix). I went to trim the wicks and broke one (I didn't do it right), but the other one, I was able to trim them and it still floods, just not as bad. I did do a test on the...

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    He said it tested ok and matched with the certificate of analysis. I did have a headache yesterday for most of the day, but that's not unusual and I don't have one today and I'm still using it. I don't really have anything else other than some juice from vendors (and some I made previously...

    Nature's Flavors

    So New To This, It's Painful To See

    It sounds like you've researched well! The flavorings will also contribute to lowering the nic level though. The calculator by scubadan will take that into account, but I do mine just like you have (except with 100% PG nic base and 100% VG). It does lower my 24 target nic level, which is okay to...

    Nature's Flavors

    Has anyone tried any flavorings from Nature's Flavors? Flavors,Organic Flavors They have a strawberry shortcake flavoring that I'm going to try. I won't have to get so frustrated trying to make a recipe that tastes like it and fail anymore!

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    You are so right...I just emailed him about an hour ago and I've heard back already and John informed me the last batch of nic they got had a stronger odor than normal. It tested okay and is safe, but it's hard for me to use (but I'm sure I will!). If I get past the smell (which is getting...

    Oily flavorings from TFA... HELP!

    I received a bottle of their nic base Saturday and it's pretty bad. The other two bottles I have ordered from them before have been fine but this one has an oily/diesel fuel type of smell and a sour taste to it. I haven't noticed it being oily itself, but the smell is horrible. Did you get...

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    I agreed with you here until I got my last order from WL just last Saturday. They do throw in a bottle of flavoring which is great! But, the 48mg nic base I received has a strong oily, diesel fuel/gas type of smell. It also has a sour taste. This hasn't happened with my previous two orders with...

    Large Bottles of Loranns?

    Ok...I guess it isn't that good of a deal because it's cheaper on LorAnn's site! I was thinking of the price of the small bottle and thinking how good of a deal this was. Nevermind...pay no attention to the person walking slowly away from this thread. :)

    Flavor Loss - Is it the Plastic or the Sweetener??

    That's what I'm thinking too, about the sucralose. Maybe it's a mix of the two? One was a banana pudding I made and it tasted wonderful the entire day. I would say the flavor was at about 18%. I mixed it at 25, but had to reduce it. I filled it up again and on day 2, the flavor diminished...

    I LIKE plastic...how about you?

    That's exactly what I was going to say. I've wasted a lot of money mixing juices that taste great only to have them taste terrible the next day. I'm not going to say that it's the plastic just yet, because it may be the sweetener I'm using. I'm going to experiment when my glass bottles...

    Flavor Loss - Is it the Plastic or the Sweetener??

    I posted this in the general forum and someone suggested I might post it here too. I have been making my own juices and using plastic bottles (used ones). I'll get my juices flavored just as I like them and by the next morning, they taste nothing like I mixed them. I know some people say to...
