Help with flavoring liquids

[yourgems510]

I don't know if I am posting in the right area. I had asked this question in other threads but have not received a response.
Can someone please tell me if the Bickford flavors are good to use with my 510. I am looking at some flavors that have a soy oil base. Will that be a problem? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Bickford's is alright to mix with but I found them to be very weak. I had to use twice as much of Bickfords than I did the flavorings from LorAnn's. Here are a couple of links for you.

HI,
Thanks so much for the info. I got a little confused because I was thinking if it was soy based (water added?) maybe it was ok.

Bickfords flavors are extremely weak compared to Lorann's. They also seem to disappear in the VG more than the Lorann's flavors. Of course, because you need so much, you practically have to use VG or it will be too thin. So for me, after several tries, Bickfords is off my list of suppliers. (I do use VG, usually 100%, and the combination of loss of flavor to the VG, and amount of Bickfords needed, just won't work for me.

From my short time experimenting with DIY juice, i have to agree with baby about Bickford's. It seems weaker than Capella's, and much weaker than LorAnn's.

But I have liked the quality of the 3 or 4 Bickford's flavors I have tried so far, so I will use them. I'm sure that I will need more Bickford's in the mix because of the weakness. But I think this just means that I will add less no-nic PG when making an e-juice recipe. Acording to Cash (in this post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/1045-bickford-flavor-list-complete-list.html), the "safe" Bickford's flavors contain just PG and natural flavors - which would indicate that I will simply use less no-nic PG for an e-juice. So I will use what I have, but I probably won't buy any more.
