basic diy mixing question

[roverfan]

hi, if a flavour house offers premixed virginia flavour, and it offers its own virginia flavour concentrate. would i get the exact same flavour if i mixed the concentrate at the correct amount and added nothing else?

Maybe.

The flavoring could be the base flavor they use for their mixes without any possible other components that can make a flavor even better.

Or it could be the only flavoring component they use in their mixes.

If the site says "concentrate Viginia", I would think that it is the actual flavor and not just a flavor base. If that is the case, mixing that with pg/vg/pga/nicjuice in the right proportions should give you the correct flavor. To imitate the premix exactly you'll need to know the pg/vg ratio and the ratio of flavor that they use in their juice.

You could always ask the vendor what ratios to use with the concentrate!


I hope this helps.

To expand on Hoosier's answer a little:

You won't necessarily get the same flavor. I premix flavor bases that I use frequently. When I'm ready to bottle it for use, I measure the flavor base into the bottle, add my nic/pg/vg, and flavor enhancers (ethyl maltol, sweetener, etc). This way I get a consistent flavor with every bottle.

So, unless that company puts all of the ingredients they use in their premixed flavors into the concentrate, you won't get the same flavor. Personally I can't see why they WOULD do that - putting the entire recipe into a bottle of the flavor concentrate would certainly reduce the sale of that particular premixed flavor. Why spend more for the premix when you can make it yourself?
