Maybe you are sensitive to glycerine Keef. I'd have a go with propylene glycol and see how it goes.

Hi Texas, you can find information on LorAnn here - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/2498-lorann-candy-flavours.html

Bickfords flavours from the US are good too apparently so you might want to look them up.

Here's a handy post for this thread by Jaaxx:
My recommendation is to get 30mL of both 36mg and 0 nic. This way you can dilute all you want without diluting flavor as well.

Than get a fistfull of these Cylinder and Boston Round Bottles with Dropper Caps - US Plastic Corporation

and one of these Ezy Dose Oral Syringes with Dosage Korcs - 1 Tsp | ABC WHOLESALE

Then go nuts.

Mixing chart -

2ml 36 + 1ml 0 = 24mg
1.5ml 36 + 1.5ml 0 = 18mg
1ml 36 + 2ml 0 = 12mg
.5ml 36 + 2.5ml 0 = 6mg

Kate, made up a mix with with 50% pg 50% 24mg Coffee and while the flavour was not to my liking, tastes like coffee cake mix, added some lorann Coffee 2 drops = Nescafe, still not my bag the cake mix was better Lol.

Also tried 50% pg 50% Cigar and Lorann caramel, better but still not really floating my boat.

No stomach problems though and have been vapimg for over 2 hrs so at least that is sorted.

Will stick with the pg for cutting, got a Litre of it so is going to last me quite a while Lol.

Pity as the vg 200ml was only 78p the pg cost me an arm and a leg as came from a laboratory in Belfast, only people I could find selling it online in the UK.

Boots pharmacy had never heard of it !!!.

Keep experimenting with flavours, you'll hit the jackpot at some point.

Glad to hear that the pg isn't a problem. I got mine from Mistral Chemicals in N Ireland too but way back (only a few months ago really but that's a long time in esmoking time ;)). They did half litre bottles for a tenner posted so it wasn't quite as much to spend as it is now.

Is there anywhere in the US that I could purchase the Lorann Flavorings?

I was actually able to find some LorAnn's Flavors at Walmart, not a wide selection but a few none the less. Check back in the tiny arts & craft section in the store.

You may want to give your local art & craft store a call and check if they have any.

No Idea, I went back that way looking for small bottles and lo and behold there it was. They didn't have a wide selection of choices, but it was sitting there in the clearance part of that isle. I don't think it's a common thing, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

For new newbies (myself included) Can someone please make sense of the abbreviations, like VG etc...

Hi Belowme,

VG = Vegetable Glycerin and is used in place of -- and/or with PG (Propylene Glycol) in the homemade juice recipes. I believe the PG is normally what the 'juice' is mixed with, though I think Johnson Creek (and possibly others) offer either VG or PG as a base, since some may be allergic (or have problems) with PG, or may be allergic (or have problems) with VG. Since using both I tend to think that PG agrees with me more than the VG, and plan to order more of the PG to use as the biggest portion of my mix. :)

You can buy e-liquid from many of the suppliers. I use Johnson Creek Smoke Juice because all others are made with PG. The non-pg or VG based is easy on the throat. Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice - The Best E-Liquid in the World - Made Right Here in America. In the alternative you can make your own no nicotione e-liquid by mixing Vegetable Glycerin (you can buy it in any health food store--make sure it is Food Grade--100% pure. You purchase flavorings from Lorann Candies--do not bother with flavorings in the grocery store www.lorannoils.com. Make sure you choose water soluble ones (look under the item detail) for each flavor. No oils--but they call all their flavors oils so do not let that fool you--just look to see if it is water soluable). These flavors are very strong so do not overdue. You then mix .5ml distilled water with 1ml flavoring, and 4 ml VG--and then vape your heart out at a fraction of the price of commercial e-liquid. You can also cut the high nicotine eliquid with your own and cut down the price considerably--Hope that helps--Sun
