adding flavor yourself?

[Chalie_Champ]

i hear you can add you own flavor, due to what they use is food grade, so does this mean that i can add vanilla extract to my juice, only need like 1/2 a drop, will this mess up my atty?

Don't see how you could add 1/2 a drop, but I was going to do this and read here on ECF that the extract should be water based and not oil based to keep from gumming up the atty. Check the label or better yet, the manufacturer's website.

ingredients:
water, carmel color, propylene glycol, vanillin, ethyl vanillin

so would this be ok?

is propylene glycol the PG stuff that you order in juice to give a T.H.??

Is that McCormick's brand? I've heard the clear vanilla extract is ok. from the LOI it's probably good to go!

that link dont say what the PEG will do for you

I suggest you go to the DIY section and read the guide. It gives a lot of information on the flavor extracts. Some are safer than others.

PEG isn't used much in DIY other than an alternative to PG & VG if you're allergic to one or the other. Ditto's for the DIY subforum-Essential reading.

I've been mixing my own for a while now... and I only use flavors from ECF registered vendors. Some are awesome, some are so-so... but none are untried. In other words, I'm not being a "guinea pig", you know?

+1 to the above posters... read up in the DIY threads. No need to go experimenting when others have already done it, right?

Here's my latest fave:
In a 10ml bottle mix the following....

2.5 ml Nicotine Juice (100mg) from xtremevaping...
1.5 ml "Milk Chocolate" Signature Flavor from ecigexpress...
0.5 ml Lorann "Creme de Menthe" (from numerous suppliers, I think ecigexpress has it)
5.5 ml pure PG

end result is 25mg strength 'Andies Mint' (remember those little wafer mints you could get at the cashier's stand in a restaurant for a nickel?)... and it rocks. Doing it yerself is awesome, you can tweak it however you want, and experiment all you want... but I would highly recommend you only use suppliers for nic and flavoring that have been around for awhile. Unless you really want to be a guinea pig.

Obsolutely you can add flavor to your juices.

But DO NOT use Vanilla Extract, or about any Extract, that you buy in a grocery store. It has oils and sugars that will gum up your atty or cartomizer.

If you want to add flavors I would suggest you buy flavors from someone like this.

They work in e-Juices and Linda is great to deal with.
