They are literally in transition now to a new location so may not be available to answer immediately. My bet is on Out of Stock for the moment unless they were having trouble with the bottles leaking in transit and are searching for replacements.

Thank you for your answer. you are totally right. we stopped sell all flavour during relocation, because we were not sure whether some flavour would be lost or damaged during relocation. we sell some products only when they are available in good condition. luckily our relocation was very great. nothing missing or damaged. now all of them are back. :)
 
I just opened my new bottle of concentrated cola flavoring from Health Cabin, and I am not happy. Dark colored flavorings are bad for the atomizer and wicking, so the cola flavoring is totally useless for my DIY E-liquid needs.


I have also tried the Red-Bull and Bubble Gum concentrated flavorings from Health Cabin are they are pretty good, not a lot of coloring added. Capellaflavordrops.com offers a clear colored (slight tint of yellow) cola flavoring, so I will have to bite the bullet and order their rather expensive flavorings. I won't hold my breath that Health Cabin will offer cola flavoring without food coloring anytime soon.

Bill, I'm afraid if you only want to use clear-coloured flavours, you will have a lot less choice. Many flavours are natually coloured, there is no way to make them clear. Unless you leave out ingredients which make up part of the flavour, of course. The results taste accordingly.

Additional colour in a flavour is bad, a flavours natural colour doesn't to much to an atty. And judging from the colours of my HC flavours so far, I don't think additional colouring is much of a problem with them.

i am sorry for the dark cola flavour. we also realized the problem with dark flavour. so we have been looking for light flavour alternative and will stop selling dark color gradually once we find a good light alternative. :)

you are right. it is not easy to find a good light color flavour with good taste. :)

Kindly don't change flavours just because some ingredients are naturally coloured, and some people don't know the difference between natural and additional colour. Chances are excellent that the taste will suffer, and I am not going to use a bad flavour just because it's lightly coloured.

You Dark Chocolate for example is absolutely great (chocolate being a tricky taste to imitate), and I'd hate to have to find a replacement.

Of course, if there is any additionally colouring, that really would not be missed. I don't think there is much of it, if any, though, at least not in those I have.
 
The coloring in HC's cola flavoring is not "natural", it is "added". The cola coloring is (probably) a class IV Caramel coloring, which is most likely derived from sugar beets (cheaper then cane sugar) or high fructose corn syrup. The sugars are cooked until they are a golden brown "caramel" color. Natural cola flavoring is clear in color, but caramel coloring is added to give it the "typical" cola color that everyone is used to. Pepsi came out with a clear cola but it did not go over well, just not what people were used to. That is why Capella's Cola Flavor Drops are clear, they do not add caramel coloring to their mix. There are also flavorings that can kill, specifically, Diacetyl.

Here is a good read on DIY flavorings and what to avoid.

Oh kindly spare me the Diacetly hysteria! I've know that for more than a year, took a look at the numbers, and decided it was definitely nothing worth worrying about. (Actually, I am pretty sure I posted a link to the FA article months before the hysteria, too.) BTW, probably there are many flavourings that can kill you - you just have to take enough of them. Which however also happens to be true with things like salt and even water.

And whether the cola flavouring is artificially coloured or not and with what would be a bit hard to say without a chemical analysis. It's entirely possible that there is a flavour component in it that is naturally coloured; after all, this is hardly the original recipe of either Coke or Pepsy.

So, I'd like to see artificial colouring go, too, obviously. But I don't want to see another hysteria that leaves me with inferior flavours just because some people don't know the difference between naturally coloured components in flavours and artificial colouring. Because that would affect several flavours I am very fond of.

yes, when the airplane cargo hold pressurizes, it can force out liquids, gels, etc out of bottles that are not 100% sealed against this type of pressure. It happens all the time to me with shampoos, moisturizers, any liquids should always be packed in plastic bags like Healthcabin does, in case of this pressurization leakage. I would go one step further though and put each bottle in their own separate bag, so if it does leak, it doesn't make a mess of all the other bottles.

I'm wondering when will you be restocking tobacco concentrate flavors?

I am also wondering about this !

I recently made a large order of flavours and wanted to add the tobacco concentrates to my order at the same time, but there were none there - please can you inform us when the tobacco concentrates will be back ?

Thanks
