Essential oil based e-liquid?

[herbgirl]

I've seen all the wide variety of flavors in e-liquids and I know they are created with flavorings like lorann oils concentrated flavors, most of which are created flavors, not essential oils.

However, Lorann's tangerine, orange, lemon, cinnamon and a few others are listed on the package as 'tangerine oil' etc. which i've verified actually means 'essential oil'.

so is there anyone out there that offers e-liquids exclusively flavored with essential oils or will i need to create them?

the possibilities are far more limited because so few plants actually make an essential oil, but i would like to try and stay as natural as possible, DIY is not out of the question if these types of flavors aren't available. I have access to super high quality oils that i could use to create my own juices.

side note - i actually quit analogs almost 4 years ago but am having wicked serious cravings from an insane amount of stress right now. so i ordered the riva so i don't end up back on the coffin nails or eat myself into jabba the hut. my juices will be nicotine free, it's the hand to mouth thing i can't seem to defeat.
TIA

Not all natural oils play nicely with attys, so DIY experimentation seems like your best route.

Check out the DIY e-liquid sub-forum. There are enough stickys there to keep you reading for awhile.

Some folks are going flavorless to further minimize their exposure to chemicals, so you may want to consider that route if it is only the hand-to-mouth that is your addiction.

Thanks, Hoosier. I ordered a bunch of attys with my first order just so i could play around and not worry about screwing one up.

i'll check out the diy thread and see what I come up with!

DIY section of forum talks about it. it takes extra steps, like maybe mixing with alcohol first.

The oils you mention should be alright, but pre-mixing with PGA would probably help.

You'll want to be real careful of the larger/fat type oils though. (Larger as in larger molecular size.)

I have the feeling that you'll do well with DIY mixing...

essential oils, or more accurately, volatile oils, by nature aren't 'fatty' oils.
larger molecule size, now that i understand!
i was planning on trying vanilla tangerine for my first go at it. vanilla is very thick (large molecule too i think) and tangerine is very thin - i was hoping that they would cancel each other out.

i ordered my juices from Mrs t's last week at the same time as my riva, and they haven't even shipped yet. i may have to make something if the kit arrives first! would be a shame to have a new toy and nothing to put in it.

i always have vg and everclear on hand for tincturing herbs. i also always have lorann flavors for flavoring said tinctures so i'm sure i'll figure something out.
