Anise oil and plastic?

[juggalofisher88]

Is this safe?
Im using lorAnn anise oil.
I just made a batch with 5% anise oil, too strong diluting it to 2.5%
Just want to know if its alright to store in plastic bottle, or if id need to use glass?
*edit*
Just notice this has one ingredient, natural anise oil,
It doesn't list pg or alcohol like other flavors does this mean i need to dilute it or just use it in a lot smaller percents?

I dunno about using oils in vaping. I use Flavour art anise in my pluid clone. It doesnt seperate like when ya use an oil based flavour. licorice flavors tend to crack polycarbonate as far as I know but dont really know about plastic. i'd do a bit of research before vaping anyting oil based.

 

[juggalofisher88]

Not really worried about oil based with everything i was inhaling with cigs. I dulled it down to 2.5% anise and added .5% em to mellow it out and she vaping great, im just worried it will eat my plastic bottle, cause im bout to mix some more up with some clove and other favoring and don't wAnt to waste more than one batch if it eats plastic so know its time to play writing game and see what happens unless someone with experience with lorAnn anise oil can tell me how it is lol.
Crap i got some on the sides of bottles look at this aftermath

I've used it in higher concentrations than what you posted and it has never done anything to PE bottles.

I'd never use polycarbonate for anything vaping related, so I don't know what it would do to that plastic.

PE and PP bottles should be OK.

Thanks after doing some searching around it seems the milky appearance is normal with this stuff, even seen some vendors remark about it. I only drip atm till i get some new rbas so that's not a problem.
Got any recipes you mind sharing?

Anise essential oil is usually diluted in PGA. TFA's Absinthe is this, and TFA Absinthe Concentrate is pure Anise essential oil. I've used the PGA dilute forms in an iClear 30 PC tank without issues.

Many moons ago I posted a Good 'n Plenty recipe in the recipe sub.

I'm sure an advanced search for threads started by me in that sub will turn it up.

It is very strong since it was an early recipe and my taste buds were still dead.

Oh wow i just mixed up a batch with 1.5% - anise, 8.5% - lime.
And i can't taste no lime lol the anise is still over powering.
Just straight anise 2.5% is all i can handle.
Another question? If i was to add some 151proof everclear would that help it mix?

10% anise oil to 90% PGA will get you the same thing as tfa anise flavoring. I would recommend 190 proof everclear. I am waiting on a order from tfa at the moment. I am going to experiment a bit with anise oil and PGA to see how different ratios of the two react to dilution in PG/VG. Maybe I can come up with a blend that is still heavy on the anise, but won't emulsify.

What is pga?
And i wish i could get higher than 151proof but not in this state

 

[twgbonehead]

pga - pure grain alcohol

 

[SLIPPY_EEL]

Flavoring 1: FA blackcurrant 8 % 0.2 ml 4 drops

Flavoring 2: FA Licorice 2 % 0.1 ml 2 drops

Flavoring 3: FA Menthol Artic 2 % 0.1 ml 2 drops


if your anise is that strong then maybe play with the ratio's a little....

i thnk i did
4% BC
2% Anise
1% Menth

Anise is great on its own

 

[juggalofisher88]

Its fine by it self at 2.5% (plus i can get a 93%vg with that ratio clouds lol)
But even at 1.25% anise and 8.75% lime its still over powering lol

 

[greenfrog]

What lime flavoring are you using? I would mix a small test batch of plain lime at 8.5%. See if it is weak at that mix and adjust accordingly. In my experience citrus mixed with anise takes at least a week of steeping to be really noticeable.

Killer juice flavorings, iv done a lemon-lime at 7.5% each and it was fine

 

[greenfrog]

Keep in mind that 1.5% oil is the equivalent of 15% TFA absinthe flavoring (oil diluted with PGA). That puts your anise amount at almost double your lime flavor. I would let it sit with a healthy daily shake for 5-7days, then give it another try.

Good idea problem is... I only got bout a ml left lol im loving the anise flavor.

I have bout 10ml of anise @ 2.5% in vg could i use this to test some flavor percents till i get some pga, and if so how would i go aboiy calculator the %?, could i just use it like a normal extract and go from there?
Thanks
