Thanks in advance!

Of those that you listed, I have not used the cherry. These flavorings are not as concentrated as Lorann's, but they are very good. I prefer their clear flavorings over Lorann's. I use 40% flavor, but after 42 years of smoking analogs my sense of taste is still pretty much shot.

I use Faeries Finest a lot and there's no rule of thumb, the strengths vary widely. I usually taste a drop to determine how strong they are and mix accordingly. It it fills your mouth with flavor, try 30% to start. If it fills your mouth with flavor and lingers, try 20%. If your mouth is overwhelmed with flavor, try 10%. If your oh-my-god-I'm-gonna-taste-nothing-but-lime-for-days! try 5%.

some of these contain alcohol and water.
Some contain PG and water.

Bit confusing.

I too have found that they vary hugely.
For example their Rum raisin needs only a few drops to give lots of taste.
While others may need double that amount.

I have found that FF ginger and pumpkin mixed to lime and mint....is one of my favorite vapes.

The ginger spices up any vape, and replaces a nic throat hit.

I just got on their site for the first time... I am having trouble finding where you see what is in the flavorings. The only thing that looks usable is the powder as the others say "oil" or "extracts" which I have read can screw up atomizers.

Fill me in here please, thanks.

JX, you want the Flavor Extracts
faerie's finest - extracts and liquid flavors
If you then click on a flavor, the ingredients will be listed at the top under the flavor name.


I think that "extracts" is an over-loaded term and one with inconsistent usage. Extraction is one method of getting flavor from something, it really has little to do with the storage of that flavor AFAIK.

Then again, there are US laws concerning certain terms like "vanilla extract" versus "vanilla flavor." The former is quite specific: "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that the solution contain a minimum of 35% alcohol and 13.35 ounces of vanilla bean per gallon." The latter is not so specific and is open to different strengths, solution preservative, and other ingredients. So maybe certain other flavoring have similar, specific definitions? I'm not sure.

Alcohol is not considered dangerous to atomizers, but may overwhelm one with bitterness. Oils are often considered to be a cause of gunking up atomizers, but there are plenty of people who use them in their flavors. With a strong oil-based flavor, the amount of oil in a finished ejuice is minimal. Much/most of this oil gets vaporized, but possibly not all, and blowing out the atomizer and/or flushing with Everclear/vodka should clear almost all of it.
