Anyone Heard of / Used One-On-One Flavors?

[mourningshadow]

Could be the heat, though I do not use the heater of my ultrasonic because I feel too much heat has a negative effect on the nicotine.

Thing is though that even with just one 8 minute cycle all the flavoring goes right to the top, in cold water and the juice does not even feel warm. Also when I left it sit overnight the flavor separated but not as drastically as just 8 minutes in the ultrasonic so maybe there is something to the triacetin and the heating of the ultrasonic vibrations.

Not sure but at this point I am just going to let it sit and give it a good hand shaking every once in a while and see if it blends better eventually.

I do not believe that she mentioned adding heat when letting it sit overnight though.

Oh, and I am a guy btw.

Not sure in that case. I would get in touch with them directly and let them know about the separation and I'll mention it to Mike in my next e-mail to see if he can shed some more light on the flavoring. Mine maintains a golden cloudy yellow color and hasn't separated yet, but it could be that the mix needed to be shaken more before they sent it out.

Either way, get in touch with them and let them know. They'll make it right and I'll make sure it gets to Mike on my end as well!


Edit: What PG/VG ratio are you using, so I can pass that on too.

 

[mourningshadow]

Thanks, it does smell very good so I really hope the separation issue subsides.

I am using 30/70 PG/VG

Sorry! I actually thought about that possibility as I typed it. Some forum names are just too hard to tell.

From what I've been reading, flavors with Triacetin in general tend to separate so you have to keep them shaken up more often than you would your normal PG/VG blend. This doesn't just apply to OneOnOne, but any vendor that uses it in their flavors. Hopefully that shes some light on why it's happening (a little). Still waiting to hear back from Mike, but thought I'd share that in the mean time.

Mike got in touch with me yesterday and asked me to let everyone who has *not* received their samples, you should be getting an e-mail today or tomorrow to confirm receipt. They've caught up with the majority of the orders and you all will be getting your samples soon!

They are also working on their tobacco blend(s), so these shouldn't be too far off - just something to keep in mind! I've also asked him to work on a more true-to-life marshmallow as I've been rather disappointed by what other vendors are offering right now. None of them have that chalky aftertaste that a real marshmallow has and he said they were up for the task.

If there's a flavor you're absolutely wanting, it's worth noting. I sent in a few issues with Watermelon as to me, it's very floral and lacks the true Watermelon taste, so it may be getting a revamp here soon!

Glad you have given them input on the watermelon, still can't vape it has a chemical taste to me. I'm gonna try to salvage it with some sweet and see what that does for it. Salted caramel at 11% in a 50/50 @12 mg is pretty darn good.

No worries, it happens.

 

[we2rcool]

It's all in the flavor compound. Labs can replicate nearly any flavor, for the most part. How true it is varies, which is why one vendors varies so much from another unless they happen to use the exact same distributor, but I've yet to run into that issue.

How is the salted caramel?

Oops, didn't see this one.

I don't have it (or any flavors from them)...yet :::grinning like a typical DIY 'flavor addict' with dozens of flavors I've already purchased 'in line' to be tested:::

I just received my order of a few different flavors today. Shipping took longer than expected. After reading about your sweet tarts separation problem I am starting to wonder if I am going to have the same problem with this skittles flavor. Just mixed up a 10ml batch and when I added the flavor, it just sat at the top. First time I've come across this when mixing.

I shook it up but I think it's still trying to climb to the top as I see the air bubbles rising after a good shaking. Anyone else have this problem? So I assume that the skittles has oil in it as well, are these flavors containing oil unvapable?

i put in an order for 7 10ML flavors, i didnt mind paying for 2 day shipping lol im interested in them

Just waiting to hear back from him . Hoping to have Salted Caramel soon enough though! Creamy Caramel is awesome, so I expect the same from Salted Caramel.

From my last discussion with Mike, none of the flavorings have oils in them; they may use Triacetin to smooth the flavor, however, they do not contain oils. I sent another message to Mike to re-confirm this.

What'd you order .

 

[JJ1977]

What'd you order .

Red Bull
Monster
Cotton Candy
Dutch Apple Pie
Cake (Yellow)
Cheesecake
Peach

i called him not long ago, told me my order was being shipped today, asked about steeping time as i didnt read through every page here lol but i will soon
he told me its preference on the person, i agree we all have difference in taste so i cuncur with it

 

[Jonathan Tittle]

Awesome!

I think you'll like Redbull & Monster - the small just like they real thing and taste pretty good too. If there was a way to get that carbonated feeling into a juice, these would be 100% perfect.

You'll have to let me know about Cheesecake, Cotton Candy and Dutch Apple Pie. Not had a chance to test those, so I can't comment on them. I do know that the Cake (Yellow) is more of a mixer flavor. It doesn't really shine on it's own, but I did try some with Creamy Caramel and it worked pretty well.

As for steeping/aging, the energy drink blends need 3-7 days from my experience. The caramels are straight to vape for me. All others really seem to shine with 2-5 days.

As far as triacetin goes, heres a tip. The higher percentage of DW in your juice the less separation will occur. As someone who works in very high % VG juice I can twll you separation with triacetin based flavors is normal. A vigorous shake of your bottle or tank/genny before you use it will fix that problem. Many flavoring companies use triacetin including TPA.

I, for one, am not a fan of flavors that contain triacetin. Its a plasticisizer by nature and Im not sure it should even be used in vaping flavors but only time will tell. I so have some that I vape very sparingly. Had I known that gummi bear and fruit loops were also triacetin based I wouldnt have requested them at all frankly.

Please understand Im not outright saying triacetin is bad for your health but I definitely have mixed feelings about it. If it can melt/crack plastic it makes me wonder but thats another topic altogether.

Maybe that is something they should include in the flavor description.....what carrier(s) is/are used in each flavoring. I think that would be beneficial to all involved

 

[BadNewsBert]

Agreed about being iffy on the triacetin. Also had no clue it was in the gummi bears, It's been my ADV since I received it.

I agree and all vendors should do the same. Personally, I'm okay with it being in there as I use Pyrex/Glass - I don't really fool around with plastic tanks due what triacetin can do to plastic as well as what other flavorings can do. I see enough plastic in the bottles that vendors use, I don't really care to use it for a tank .

Right now I pretty much stick with the protank line-up, but hopefully I'll be moving to a more robust and reliable atomizer soon enough. I like the protank, I'd just prefer a better system.

I've had similar thoughts on this ingredient as well. However, if we have learned anything from Breaking Bad, some solutions will destroy one container while being relatively harmless to another

 

[Hoosier]

Triacetin is very common in fruit flavorings particularly any "berry" flavor.

So it seems very likely that Skittles, Gummy Bears, or any other fruit flavored candy flavoring would have it.

(Also it seems to be only higher VG mixes that have issues with separation.)
