DIY e-liquid

[skurys]

Posting this here cuz I cant seem to post threads elsewhere.

I have an e-cig now for maybe a week and I am hooked. Already ordered a 500ml of PG from Walmart, but cant seem to find loranns here in quebec, what i would like to know is this:

Is there any readily available food products, etc that I can use for flavoring that I could easily find at say, Walmart, or the supermarket/grocery store? I ll try anything that doesnt taste like a dogs ...., if I can try whippin up a batch of e-liquid for real cheap, ie: 8$ 500ml bottle of PG + whatever idea for flavor you all might be able to suggest! Thanks a bunch!

PS: I was thinking maybe almond / vanilla extracts but dunno how that might affect the atty. your advise is appreciated!

Do you have Michaels or Hobby Lobby stores in Canada? If not, any other craft/hobby store might carry Loranns. They won't have a big selection, but should have a few good ones.

Or cake supply, baker supply store or a cake shop even might sell you some. I havent ever tried store bought vanilla, etc. I would almost think they are oil based.

Not that I know of... or if there is its got some lame french name (hey its Quebec )

There must be some options besides Loranns? Maybe I can mix 50-50 some PG with some of that concentrate lemon juice they sell in those plastic yellow lemons LOL

There's some great advice and recipes here;

DIY e-liquid - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

or could you order online from LorAnns?

I have used essential oils I have found in hobby shops. I have also used flavoring found in the baking isle in grocery stores. I heard vanilla extract can be harmful if inhaled, but you can use the imitation vanilla. You should call some cake, candy, baking supply stores in your area. Odds are they will carry LorAnn's. I order from them online and get in a couple days (don't know about Canada though).

What are these flavorings normally used for? All are for food? You would think it would be easier to find lol. Oh and while I have people actually reading my posts (lol) perhaps you might have some advise for me on another matter. I have read 1000s of posts on atty cleaning etc, and I have a DSE-901 (slb etched on the atty and battery) and just curious if its normal after 1 week average usage that i find its hard to draw. Not too big a deal, as long as it works. I just am hesitant to start trying the unending supply of atty cleaning tips out there lol

Quick fix is to grab a towel, and blow it out of the bottom (part with threads and little holes). You would be amazed how much juice gets blown out. But it back together and give it a try. If that doesn't work maybe the fill is pressing against the atty too much and limiting airflow. Just push the fill in a little, or ease the cart off the atty (just a little bit).

I've been using "Kroger" food flavouring for a month now. Anise, Black Walnut, Rum and Maple flavours. Have had no problems at all. I even use food colouring of the same brand to be able to differ the different flavours instead of labelling my bottles. Oh yeah all purchased in Ralphs.

At our walmart and other places I have been they keep the loranns in the pharmacy department....strange place for it but that is where I have found it

If it goes by another name just tell them you are looking for flavorings to make candy with.
