I think I emailed them a whole back asking about which flavors are vape-able. I just shot them off another email about hearing that they are thinking about releasing a vaping line of flavors.

I'm not all into the whole organic scene but tend to stay away from processed foods as much as I can so it stands to reason the more "natural" I can get my juices the better.

As previously mentioned - I would definitely be interested. I prefer vg; just would like to know about the gum arabic
I don't know if I didn't clarify myself or I wrote too much or what in my OP, but I seem to be confusing people! Maybe i should eliminate the link because I only put it there so you could see all the flavors that are available. The point of my post is to possibly have flavors developed SPECIFICALLY for vaping, so they would NOT have any gum arabic, NO alcohol, nor any of the other ingredients they may use for other purposes...ONLY FLAVOR and VG, and perhaps in a smaller option too! Hope that is clearer.

Chin up CharlieGirl....you were clear from the start. People tend to skim through things, seems not many actually READ anymore ;)

I'm new to vaping and DIY, but I would think there would definately be a market for a new flavor line! Also, who's to say that if legislation were to put an end to vaping flavors as we know it, people wouldn't still be interested in the flavors for whatever...less ingredients, etc. Alternatives are always good me thinks :)

They seem like an interesting company for sure. Seeing their website is really helpful to evaluate... Would I purchase from them? Making commercial flavors they have to be strong which is a plus without a doubt.

If they had a lower shipping standard for orders in smaller quantities, like $2.50 for packages under 2 pounds for example that fit in the appropriate envelope. Speaking of size, if their sizes just came in something smaller that would be great. Such as 5ml, and 15ml sizes would attract the vaping crowd. For many they typically get I would think, 4-5 sample ml sizes to get a feel for a company before a bigger purchase. 8 dollars for shipping for a small order is quite over the top when per sample at 5ml shouldn't be more then 1.75$


Making flavors specifically for vaping sounds like a touch of a stretch at least perhaps for the company itself. It seems from checking them out and other's comments they already do have some workable flavors. Instead of making a new area to the site, they could just add the option at check out, something like... "Are you purchasing for inhalation/a personal vaporizer/ an electronic cigarette/.... Yes Or No?" Then instead of making a new line of anything they can just send out or if they choose make on the spot THAT flavor with the box to "Yes" without any ingredients that might harmful for vaping.

I love the natural flavor idea, maybe they just have excellent web design but it comes across that they are a high volume/ commercial directioned business as opposed to smaller, 10$, 25$ orders. If they had more reasonable shipping for small orders, and the choice of smaller orders I would likely give them a try to see how I like them in the future. 2oz for one flavor seems like more flavoring then I'd ever need! Then what if the flavor just isn't for me? Uh-Oh.

Frosting, I really don't know at this point how far they would be willing to go with it, but when I spoke to the chemist he seemed genuinely interested. I mainly started this thread to get feedback for him as to what people would like to see..as for what he or they will implement I don't know, but the more feedback obviously, the better! He seemed concerned about the legal aspect of providing flavoring for an untested technology and I can't comment on that with any authority but my feeling is since so many others are doing it, it really shouldn't be an issue. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Any lawyers out there? I am happy to hear others have already used Natural Flavors and liked them, because they have such an awesome selection and are great to deal with. As said, we can just go ahead and buy from them already, but as Frosting and others stated, most DIYer's would rather have a selection of smaller bottles than to have to purchase mass quantities of one kind. I know I would. Thanks for the feedback so far, keep it up, it is really appreciated!

I already use the coffee and tea flavoring system flavors from Nature's Flavors exclusively. Of course, they separated the coffee and tea flavors so now I'm not completely sure which to order anymore, but will cross that bridge when I need more. I find the flavors are excellent, though the tiramisu flavor gunks up atomizers really fast. This is one of the best places to buy flavors if you are sensitive to PG. I would love to see a dedicated line of flavors for vaping as long as they don't contain PG. I'm really happy with their products.

Wow,I didn't even realize anyone here has been using these flavors! I know Bill said he had heard of others, but I missed any reference to it here. So cool, they wouldn't even have to change up a whole bunch besides eliminating the alcohol, making the carrier VG only, offering the flavors in lesser quantities perhaps and maybe adding a new header on their website specifically addressing the vaping friendly aspect? Anything else I'm missing? Not everyone is as adventurous and resourceful as you "guys" apparently! So I have to ask...how do their flavors compare to what else is out there?

I like the alcohol. It adds a little bite to the inhale. I can get decent throat hit with their flavors even though I'm down to 5mg of nicotine.

But anyway if someone is reading this who makes flavours... please do make them vapeable for all of us flavour pigs!
LOL!!! Well CCC, that is pretty much the essence of it all isn't it! I'm wit'cha! Just to recap, when I found this place (Nature's Flavors)I hadn't realized anyone here had used them, but knowing this resourceful group, my bad for not guessing! Seems some are already happy with what they offer, and some would like to see flavors offered in typically smaller sizes for DIY such as 6, 15 or 30ml, with appropriate shipping charges. That way we could have more variety for the same price because I really can't think of a single flavor I want 2 oz (60ml?) of...unless we were doing a group buy. Anyway, if you have anymore feedback, please feel free to write it in because I want to give Bill the link to this thread so he could make up his mind about what or if he is going to do with the info. Also, just out of curiosity I was thinking about doing a poll about what company(s) you use for your DIY flavors. Or has it already been done? (This place is so mega humongo!) I know there are lists of the various flavors but is there a list with regards to popularity, and if so, could you direct me there? Thanks in advance! If you can add to my list below, I'd appreciate it!

Actually I DO Read - and at a first grade level and everything.

I left what was asked for - MY INTEREST LEVEL. If it's not useful - delete it. Don't insult me.

30 is better than 60, but still quite a commitment for testing flavors... especially since there aren't many reviews out there. Being somewhat new to DIY, and still exploring flavors, I'd much rather pick up ten 3ml flavors from another supplier than one 30ml from NF. Hopefully they'll offer smaller bottles eventually - they have a lot of interesting sounding flavors. For now, I'll wait for that to happen, or for more reviews.
