A belated

to ECF Tim. So glad that you are here. I adore old vapers because 99.9% of the time it means they are smart, friendly, and helpful to everyone. Just the kind of people that makes ECF so special. Enjoy and make yourself at home.

Hi everyone, I'm vaping for years now. Would like to ask you guys about Elf Bars and other disposables. How do we get this strong flavor these elfbars give.

Hi everyone, I'm vaping for years now. Would like to ask you guys about Elf Bars and other disposables. How do we get this strong flavor these elfbars give.

I'll ask one question first: "Do you really want to?"

I've dissected some disposables and had the luxury to have juice analyzed in a lab. The current products on the market are a little different than the ones sold a year ago (they are getting better). I can't give you exact recipes (sorry, the gc doesn't give me that), but I can tell you what some of the key points are:

• 50% PG, 50% VG and small amounts of distilled water. Some have more PG. The key is that high PG punches flavor, while the distilled water smooths out the throat hit.
• simple profiles: 1-2 flavors, higher than expected %. Notice how so many are a fruit-menthol or fruit-ice?
• sucralose. A LOT. It doesn't matter if it's a coil killer, as long as the thing works for a week. Remember, they are a cash cow and you are expected to buy them daily/weekly.

I am surprised at how many bad juice products are on the market. I guess as long as people buy them and they make a profit, there is no incentive to make better products.
