Cinnamon Redhots... I need it HOTTER!

[SteveFromNY]

First off, I ordered my first DIY kit on Tuesday afternoon and received it Friday morning! I would've gotten it Thursday but of course, that was Thanksgiving. I loved the extra goodies I got and the nice Holiday card enclosed in the package. That personal touch says a lot about a company, thank you.

I've been having a ton of fun creating DIY liquids. I can't believe how easy it is and I'm looking forward to saving money making my e-juice myself.

One of my favorite flavors in Cinnabomb from an e-juice vendor here on ECF. I love to mix it with different fruit flavors. Anyway, I ordered some Cinnamon Redhots in my kit I'd like to know how I can get the taste to be stronger. I want this juice to burn my tongue like my Cinnabomb flavor does...

My latest mix included 20% flavor but it still wasn't as strong as I'd like it. I don't think adding anymore flavor to the mix will make a difference. I'm looking for that burning aftertaste.

I noticed the Cinnabomb juice I order has an oil base. I have to shake it up before every use because it separates in the bottle. What is this oil? Can I order some of this?

Thanks again, OneStopDIYShop...

Hi Steve,

Glad everything got there safe and sound The oil based flavoring may explain why it hits your tongue like it does. We don't currently carry any oil based flavors, but LorAnn Oils does carry Cinnamon Flavor (Cinnamon Oil)

the cinnamon oil is also easily found at stores during the holidays, such as walmart.

Thanks for the replies!

While I wait for my Lorann's Cinnamon Oil to be delivered, I went ahead and purchased some McCormicks Cinnamon Extract at the Supermarket today. The ingredients are...

PROPYLENE GLYCOL
ALCOHOL (40%)
WATER
EXTRACTIVES OF CINNAMON

Bad idea?

I haven't personally used the McCormicks flavors, but have read of people using them. The general consensus was they were fairly weak for vaping flavors. Let us know how that works out, it may be stronger than some of their other flavors.

Wow steve 20% and PA cinnamon redhots isn't hot enough. Damn. I mix that at about 15% and love it. Not sure what your PG/VG ratio is but I usually hit around 80pg/20vg. Find the PG transmits more flavor than VG. Have you tried adding about 1% sweetner? This may do the trick and get those flavor receptors on your tongue hopping. I have also added about 2% french vanilla to the Redhots mix ---- sort of like the tatse after you get past the ... kicking hot of a fresh fireball. Happy vaping and I hope you end up w/the mix you are seeking.

Also note the "oil" based flavors will be tough on your atty and will tend to gunk them up. It may be a small offering to the atty gods if you must have the oil. Your call.

Add a drop of 2 of Decadent Vapors Diablo Loco. That stuff is REALLY hot!

The flavor was pretty good but it did not give me any spicyness... <--is that a word?

My PG/VG ratio was about 35/65. Maybe I need to bump up the PG?

The thing is, when I order my Cinnabomb, I get in in a 30/70 ratio and it's still hot.

Worst case scenario is, I order the flavoring from that vendor. They sell it for $4 for 5ml. I can make myself a 30ml+ batch with that much flavoring. It's still cheaper than buying the juice from them for $15.

Oh, and I do use a small amount of sweetner, that stuff is good.
