Just a question. I have read through most of this thread. I've been diy'ing for quite a while. I usually flavor at 20% because I like my flavor strong, mostly fruits. I use TPA, FA, and Cap. Will I truly need less of the express flavorings?

What kind of experiences have you who flavor at a high % been having with these flavors?

mine got here this morning, just mixed and vaped the banana for the first time... I like ECX banana better than VZ banana, plus it's a lot cheaper.
IMO, ECX is more like a banana popcicle - VZ banana was kinda rotten tasting and had more of a liquor taste to it.
I mixed both at 2.5% (1drop per mL) also added 3% EM in each batch

The results from my first 6 mixes of the tobacco express flavorings indicate that they start working at lower percentages than even the FA tobaccos for me. I don't know that anyone has gotten any of the fruits to try as of yet. (And as soon as I post that I see someone sneaked in ahead of me with one fruit, figures.)

I am still unsure if I like them though as I've just started playing with them...

Hi Jewels. I am not one that likes my flavoring strong so not sure that I will be able to help you. I have not tried the new ECX flavors yet but expect them to get here this evening.

One thing that you can count on with me is that I will be honest about my opinions of how they taste. I have tried other concentrated flavors and yes, it truly is the case that I am able to get good flavor at 2-3% I am hoping that it will be the same with ECX flavors and from what I have read on the tobaccos, it is.

I only got banana... (I try everybody's banana lol)
just about everything I mix uses it.
I vape my banana/pineapple/strawberry mix all day, everyday. :)

I'm probably gonna try the ECX pineapple and strawberry next...

I've been ordering from Ecigexpress ever since I started DIY. That's the only place I order flavorings from. I like the tastes and prices are ok...and shipping is pretty quick and prompt. My 'go to' flavors are banana, sugarcookie, bubble gum, and cinnamon roll. I order Loranne as much as possible. I mix at 20% and get a good taste for me. So far I've not gotten anything I've not liked from there. Abet, there are still some flavors in my drawer that I haven't even mixed yet. I like the above, plus chocolate, caramel, orange cream, bavarian cream, and Mt Dew. Those are the ones I've mixed and vaped so far.

I think that I will have some Strawberry today. I think Pina Colada too which might give me an idea of the pineapple taste. I will mix them up tonight and post back with what I think. Of course we all know that our tastes are different so what I like you may not and the opposite is also true.

You might want to try some of their new concentrated flavors some time. From what we are told they can be mixed at 2-3% and you still get the type of flavor that you would at higher levels with other flavorings. I like being able to use low % because for one thing it will make cartos and attys last longer.

I haven't tried the ECX super concentrated flavors yet (waiting for a package), but it sounds like they're similar to the VZ ones in strength. I like strong flavor, and with the VZ ones I'm getting great flavor at 3% to 3.5%. I think the highest I've gone is 4%.

I am very interested in the Vanilla. I figure if its any good I can mix some up with the cigar flavoring. (Which I have not tried yet!) It is sitting waiting for me to mix....

Yep, that vanilla is one that I am looking forward to trying too.

I'm waiting to hear what you have to say about their mango. You spoke highly of the VZ mango and apricot a while back. Neither of these are flavors I would normally be interested in but I've since tried their apricot and found it every bit as good as you said, so much so that I'm itching to try the mango next, lol. I'm looking forward to hearing whether you like the Fruit Express version also.

I just mixed some cigar plain and cigar with Newport. I just tried the cigar with Newport. I think I will lower the % next time. A very strong menthol not peppermint and the cigar shines through lightly. This is much better than my menthol drops. I have tried a ton of menthol flavors and menthol e-liquids. Very close to a Newport cig. Not quite but since my true love with cigs was menthol.

As a sidenote: I have dropped my nicotine to 24mg down from 36/32mg. Finally, I am enjoying what I vape. The cigar I am going to try tonight with a ce2 carto type or dual. (Can't decide which one.)

I also lowered the % of the black n mild. It is much better at 1% for me. Not my favorite but waiting on the black n mild with vanilla. :)
