Gin Flavor vs. Virgin DIY Liquidizer

[strell]

I want gin taste. I want no nicotine. "Gin" is too short to search here, so apologies if this is listed somewhere else, but what would I need to do to make a DIY e-liquid that tastes like my favorite gin (Magellan)? Is this even possible, or should I stick to drinking it? I'm actually not a big drinker, I just love the taste of this gin.

I posted this in your other thread, but I'll post it here too:

I posted a few weeks back asking about using rum to flavor e-liquid (since artificial rum flavors don't come close and I had a bottle of really good cuban rum), but most people said that the sugar in the alcohol would ruin the atomizer really fast.

I was going to suggest making your own using Lorann flavorings but it looks like the only liquor flavors they have are brandy and rum.

Gin is make from juniper berries, no?

It appears that LorAnn has a juniper berry oil. That might get you kinda close.

Or maybe I was wrong and reading in the wrong place.

Yes, Gin is made from sugar cane (like rum) and juniper berries. However, the Juniper Berry oil is under the food grade essential oils page, and I've only heard of people using the "super strength flavors."

Besides that, while I've never eaten juniper berries I doubt that they taste very much like gin. Rum is made from sugar cane (as I said before) but sugar cane does not taste like rum (or vice-versa). Vodka is usually made from rye, wheat, or potatoes but it doesn't taste like any of those either.

Seems to me juniper berry is a good idea too.
