does anyone know where I can get a good lychee flavor? besides from natures flavors? I ordered from them a month ago, still havent received anything, including no confirmation that my order was even received, even though my credit card has been charged!, looking into canceling my order and getting my money back, but in the meantime I've got all my supplies except the flavor and Im really craving some lychee juice, unfortunately Im having a hard time finding it from anywhere other that those NF jerks

RTS Vapes has it, and so does WL. Tropical Flavors, http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route=product/category&path=79&page=2

'Just wanted to ditto/confirm - NF has HORRIBLE customer service, extremely long delays in shipping, it's virtually impossible to find out what's really in their "certified organic" line - and I'll add that the organic flavors that I have purchased as powders (for making flavored kettle corn), were absolutely horrible. Out of 9 flavors ordered, I could only use 3 of them. And if you Google them, you'll find outrageous reports from extremely disgruntled buyers.

It should be water soluble, and there should not be chunks. It has nothing to do with the VG or PG. It's possible you got a bad batch of flavor. Where are you seeing the chunks? Did you thoroughly mix it? How big and what color are they?

I have never had chunks in my ejuice no matter what flavor or company.

Does anyone have a flavor guide for Lorann Naturals?

Well not really a guide but I use Loranns Naturals for a few flavors. My favorite is by far the Lime oil, and then the lemonade is my next favorite but I use a bunch of others. Im gonna try some of the berrys this week too. But for the last year of making flavors I always add 1ml of Loranns Per 10 ml of PG/VG at 4:1. So I started making larger batches of the flavors i really like and Its always about the same 1 ml per 10 ml of your eliquid choice.

These percentages are great... but how would I use them to make a multi-flavor mix?

For example, I want to make some blueberry cupcake... blueberry is good at 15-20%... cupcake is good at 15-20%... addition does NOT seem like the correct way (i.e., 30-40%)

when i have done multi-flavors i always keep the total flavor perc. the same IE 15-20 % so you have to decide which flavor you want to be predominant, in this case blue berry or cupcake or 50 50. like with all experimenting it is good to mix small batches, then if you don't like the way it is, you adjust accorrdingly and if things get out of control, you can just toss it without much loss and start over.

I second the lime oil. It's really good.

Hey guys, good read,

Am just a lil confused about something.
I can get USP grade VG PG but the flavors sold by the vape stores nearby are not to my liking. Saw some flavors at a baking store nearby that i find interesting.

However, from what i can understand, the flavors sold as baking flavors are not strong enough to be used as juice flavoring?

Im thinking of making my own juice from now on. Have totally gotten off nicotine. So am just looking to make some 0nic juices..

That's right. I got some at first. They didn't work. Lor anns candy flavors will work. You can get them in the candy making area of a hobby store.
Hobby lobby, joanns etc...
 
I've been working on some liquids and need to figure out how to cut oil so that it'll work with pg/vg blends. Most of our juice is either high VG or 70/30. I know it's doable but I'm not sure if I have to do a PGA boil (and what parts oil/pga to use) or if low %s of high concentration will be fine. I'm primarily looking at fennel, anise, star anise, and stuff like that. Any help on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

Been ordering from RTS vapes.New to the DIY scene.I gotta say it is fun and a challenge to mix your own.I get PG 36 nic juice in 120 ML bottle,a 60 ML bottle of VG, some 3CC syringes from bi-mart for a quarter each and dull/clip the sharp tips off,rolled up my sleeves and went to work.Adding some menthol tobacco "K" flavor to a 10 ML bottle of 75% PG 36 nic,25% VG and a few drops of juice and add some electricity.IT IS ALIVE.Ordered some menthol and more "K".Not too fond of the VG or I may be adding too much @ 25%.
