Flavor Manufacturers?

[Prettycat191]

lol, but that was nasty stuff, I DO have good great awesome flavors

That Lorann Chocolate smells nasty for sure. You have my address, so feel free to send me anything you like any time you want

TPA Coffee, I need to know a good % to start on that, what's your take on it? I have to make some to give to hubby's friend tonight, but I want to make sure it doesn't punch him in the face as it steeps over the next few days. Gonna add some creamy and sweet stuff to it, maybe caramel and vanilla like my fav coffee.

 

[Prettycat191]

Yes, you are my "someone". ;-) I did ask OSDIY about getting each vendor in a bulk rate. They just don't have any.

I was going to start with LorAnn, since they don't have as many, but I may start with the biggest.

I started with Lorann and bought some 30-odd flavors, and I wish I hadn't. They have a few good ones, but for the most part I don't use them.

I love TPA/TFA. So far its all I have tired. ATM I am in love with a chery/vanilla/cola flavor I made a few days back and keep just remaking it without trying out the 20+ other flavors I have from TPA. I am waiting on a box from other places, and should be here tomorrow. I can not say how good of a job they do, but The Flavor Store has picked the "best" of the flavors from different venders. I have a box coming in the mail from them, to me 1 buck a pop and different venders in one store was a good buy, and semi fast shipping if USPS is right, it will only have been a little over a week if it comes tomorrow.

 

[LordDavon]

Thanks Nunnster. I am going to check them out,

I love Flavour Art flavourings across the board. Typically the only time I stray is when I need a more candyish type flavour then I use TPA. I like the quality and strength of TPAs flavourings but find most of thee waaay too sweet from the start for me.

 

[Prettycat191]

I'm still waiting for my order at The Flavor Store, USPS doesn't even have it marked as picked up yet. I'm a little upset about that, as it was ordered last Thursday. I'm hopeful it's just USPS once again not updating the status on the site. Their automated system needs an update lol.

 

[Nunnster]

My package was last updated yesterday morning and it was in cali, so hopefully two days time (which will be tomorrow) it will get here. I really dont understand the post office. 1 package from new york can take a week and a package from cali can take 2 days. Ive waited 4 or 5 days for a package that would take me an hour drive to get to where it was shipped from. Also if its any help, my message from the flavor store was in junk box under the name chris Lawrance that gave me my shipping number.

All of his emails came to my main inbox, but USPS isn't updating or something.

I got something from NY in 2 days, and something from SC took 7 days! Normally nothing takes more than 3 days to get to me (even with the slowest shipping), but it is getting closer to the holidays, so I expect things to start taking longer.

 

[Nunnster]

Could be that USPS isnt updating. I have had that happen more then once. One min my package is in CA, the next min I am at the mail box and it is there, go back and check USPS again, and it wont have record of my package lol

 

[Prettycat191]

Lol, I've had that happen too before, that's why I think it's just not updating.

Sure you already made it but when I used 20% I almost died lol, I would use like 5% to start and add a bunch of sweet stuff

 

[Prettycat191]

I ended up doing 5% coffee, 5% Lorann Caramel, 5% TPA Double Chocolate, and 2% Lorann Cotton Candy. It was a slight coffee taste, which I'm sure will get stronger over the next few days, but it was good. I already sent it with the guy, hope he doesn't call in a few days with exploding coffee flavor!

 

[CaminoDiablo]

I'm sure it will be fine, I really want a good coffee flavor. I have made my own from Maxwell House and it was ok but thinking dunkin doughnuts coffee would be the bomb. I'm glad your gonna get some use out of it, I have had that for about a year and never liked it from the start.

 

[Prettycat191]

I'm not a coffee connoisseur lol, it all tastes bitter to me! I add lots of sweet stuff to my coffee, and have even imitated Starbucks caramel macchiatto/frappuccino perfectly now if i could bottle and vape that, it would be a daily vape!

So from what i see on this thread FA has good flavors that are realistic / not to candyish ??
is there a decent vendor in the south east ? id like to try some out .... some I may buy bulk right off, any suggestions

 

[LordDavon]

I've been using TFA, and loving it. I got some LorAnn, at HobbyLobby, yesterday, but have yet to try it. I also have some FlavorArt, that I got a while back, to try and boost a flavor of a juice. I haven't tried it in my DIY stuff yet.

 

[Prettycat191]

I've only ordered from Liberty-Flights.com, they do priority shipping and it's never taken more than 2 days (excluding if I order on the weekend lol).

Can't help you with a vendor but FA get full marks from me. Very concentrated and high quality. Can take a little longer to steep than PA and the others but worth the wait

FlavourArt also have been doing some testing on the safety of vaping which is pretty cool of them. - Protocollo ClearStream - Flavourart. La sartoria degli aromi

If you like FSUSA juices, all of theirs are made from FA AFAIK

There's great flavours from all the companies, and you'll find the best premixed e-juice vendors will use a combination of FA, PA, Lorann and Capella (plus any other good flavours they can find)

I'd suggest grabbing maybe 8 flavours at most to start off with. Take some time to try each one and start at a really low concentration

 

[GoodDog]

I use TFA, Capella and a few LorAnn. I think the most gourmet flavors are from Capella, especially their creamy flavors. They're much better that the others IMO. Capella's Waffle, Gingerbread, Vanilla Custard, Coconut and Cinnamon Danish Swirl are far better than TFA's to me but they are much more expensive. I only make a few flavors now so I don't mind spending more for the flavors I like the best. The thing I don't like about Capella are their sizes. You can buy 14mL or 4oz, nothing in between.

So I just heard back from the guy that I made this for, and he loves it, so I guess it's a winner! Need to make myself a bottle.
