Are there certain companies or flavors that use alcohol in their stuff?

I remember vaping e-liquids in the past where you supposedly needed to let the alcohol evaporate off before using it. However, I could always detect it, so would prefer to avoid them. Are there certain companies that use it, or is it certain flavors?

Hmmm, Yes.
Some companies IIRC (Real Flavors - SC Super concentrates) offerings were suspended in alcohol, and then you can also have, say TPA/TFA where their Jamaican Rum has ~4% Benzyl Alcohol, but is primarily suspended in PG.

I'm pretty sure there are, but I'm not entire sure if it's limited to one company, one flavoring or what?

Some flavor vendors will tell you the base I think but I bet there are members in the know @Letitia , @FranC @hittman

I’m not aware of companies using alcohol in all their flavors, but most use it in some. Fruits, in particular. It’s in every blueberry I’ve tried. If anyone knows of a blueberry with no alcohol please let me know.

I have never tasted it in this, but you can always email the guy. I love this stuff, by the way.

But, you were probably asking about the flavoring itself, so you could buy it for DIY, eh?

I don't worry about the alcohol or notice it much in the flavors I use that has it. I tend to steep for weeks and seldom need to breathe my juices. For shorter steeps a 1/2 hour uncapped takes care of it.

Not for me. I must be uber sensitive to it.

This is what my brief memory has as well. I think it was concentrate flavors by VapingZone that I purchased and those were an alcohol base.

Virgin Vapors used an alcohol base, but also had a lineup that was alcohol free,

I always just ordered the regular alcohol base and never needed to breathe Virgin vapor juices, but I did steep them 3-4 weeks. Their kona coffee and the caramel milkshakes were very good. Those are the two juices that made it possible for me to let go of the coffee AM smokes.
