Anyone got a recipe using just Lorann's Strawberry?

I mixed up a couple batches of it and it was so bad I was going to chomp in the kitty box (yes, *that* BAD) to get the taste out of my mouth (but a soft drink swigged and gargled eventually worked, thank god!). Hate to make more at this rate. I am starting to wonder if I have a bad bottle, it really was disgusting :-(. Strawberry is one of my absolute fave flavors, so you can imagine I am just a bit more than a little disappointed :-(.

My experiments with the Orange Cream and Cheesecake so far were really good, thus I am perplexed...

Thanks!

The strawberry always taste a little like lip gloss! The cheesecake with coffee turned out well for me!

NoooooooooOOOOoooooo
I hate math!
(and I always said Id never use algebra again!)

Most of the members are saying that- when you use 36mg liquids, each ml has 36mg nicotine so for every 30ml bottle you will be having 1080 mg nicotine - when you think this is measured as mg/cc..This is what I believe - each ml of 36mg liquid holds 1.2 mg of nicotine.
I don't want to see these things regulated except the advantages are these suppliers has to post the exact content per each ml.

ok i am Verry new to this whole thing. I got my forst E-cig 3 days ago i have a questing about taste!! i have smoked MBR. Smooths for as long as they have made them. I like the sweet mint it has. My question is i found some candy flavoring at my local hobby store. cream da ment it makes it taste veryy veryy close but i need to know how many drops to but in prefilled cart. ( i have orders the sample pack from johnson's creek but tell than i have to do with prefilled cart. So how many drops per new cart is safe and will not change the amount of vapors?

Try the Strawberry-Kiwi instead. It reminds me of strawberry cotton candy (I think more than cotton candy does - ooh gotta try that combo).

It's probably my favorite LorAnn flavor (so far, half way through the box).

I'm so confused. All the talk of glycerin, pg and npg I'm not sure what I want to use. I do appreciate the OP's sample recipe for just about any recipe you make...sure does seem simpler than alot of other recipes I've read here. My confusion is...I went to hobby lobby today, found a bottle of Wilton Glycerine. This is pg npg or just glycerin like it says or is glycerin it self npg?

Can I take 1 part 24mg eliquid, and 3 parts glycerine, plus a lil distilled water and flavoring to make a (aprx) 6mg solution safe for vaping? Or do I need to search out some pg or npg?
(I feel like I'm asking some really dumb questions...so if anyone spells it out for me(real slow) I'll greatly appreciate it)
In the meantime I have a 50 ml of 6mg to toke on until I figure this out :)

PG is propylene glycol which is used in most manufacturers liquids. You can usually get it by ordering at a pharmacy. I paid 12.99 for 16 oz. which will last me a LONG time.

VG is vegetable glycerin. Supposed to give more vapor. Find it at health food stores and make sure it's food grade. It will say right on the container.

I personally don't care for VG, it has a very sweet (to me kind of soapy, but that may be the brand I got). It really kills whatever flavor you're using. I try not to use more than 20% VG.

Yes, you can cut the e-liquid with VG and distilled water (VERY little, you just want to thin the VG a bit) but you'll significantly lose flavor so unless you have flavorings to add back, you may not want to do that.

NPG I believe is just Non-PG? Which would be VG. The Wiltons you got is supposed to be Glycerine, I'm presuming vegetable...in any case, you can use it.
 
Hi everyone, I'm very new, so sorry if this has been covered before. I've been reading around quite a bit and can't find it.

I need a source for propylene glycol. Checked Walmart, Walgreens, Michaels, RiteAid and came up with nothing. I have found a source online at Revival Animal Heath Store. It comes in a gallon container for $23 I believe (plus s/h) It says "nothing added" but no one at the 800-number could tell me the % purity. Is this good enough quality for vaping? And if not, what is a sensible online source?

Thank you for having a nice forum to help me learn. :thumb:

Any pharmacy should be able to order it for you. I got mine through Giant Eagle. I told the pharmacist what I wanted and he had it in the next day, 12.00 and some odd change for 16 oz. but it will last a very long time. I personally don't feel comfortable vaping something made for cows or livestock but that's just me. ;)

I can highly recommend JuicyJuice.com Pure USP Grade PG (Propylene Glycol) 30ml - $2.00 : JuicyLiquid.com, DIY E-Liquid Supplies and Accessories if your looking for smaller quantities to start with or Electronic Ash Propylene Glycol (USP) 16oz - $9.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce for larger quantities.

oh, and I did call a major pharmacy. they said I needed a prescription. :confused:

Hmmm....You don't have Giant Eagles in Mass.? Maybe try a small, local compounding pharmacy. A large busy pharmacy may just not want to bother with it....and be blowing you off.

I think the only thing that comes in gallons is the livestock stuff...

I find it odd that you'd need a script, it's used in compounding as a baseor filler or something, it's not like it's actually a drug....
