Thank you for the advice! I do have an order in now for all of Capella's vanilla flavors. I don't know why, but vanilla is by far my favorite flavor, i was buying blu's vivid vanilla by the box loads, just is way to expensive and the wait times are just way too long....I'll keep an eye out on Perfumers...thanks again...!

Honestly, so far only the Capella French Vanilla and particularly the Vanilla Custard satisfy my craving for real vanilla.

I know that Perfumers Apprentice is working on a vapable Vanilla but I have not tried their stuff yet.

So as for comercial vanilla liquid V4L has some that I'm rather addicted to but now I'm trying the DIY methods and...so far have tried TastyVapor Vanilla: not what I was looking for...sorta a candy flavor; Tried FlavourArt Vanilla Madagascar and it is tasty but not as benign of a vanilla as I was hoping for. It is delicious!!! But the V4L is this very clean and semi-light vanilla flavor (not light on flavor just a lightish flavor...with pleanty of TH). The quest continues. I just got FA regular vanilla in the mail today. Will have to try ASAP.

Hi Stoked,

That's the thang about vanilla.. It seems to be a hit or miss type of flavor.. Let us know about the FA one.. I seem to always do DIY since I have a ton of virginia and want to add some flavoring to it.. Haven't gotten the powder yet but plan to in the future.. Was reading about it and it seems to be perfect for our use.. With powder we can even add to desired taste/stregnth which is great too without really any loss of nicotine mg.. Would be like those on the forum using sucralose to add sweetness to juices..

I think I've finally read all the posts on this thread with the concerns over possible danger of vanillin in a vape and natural vanilla cantaining vanillin... Does anyone know what is in
Cabella's Vanilla Custard? I wonder if it is vanillin free? Does it contain benzoin? here's the wiki on Benzoin
Benzoin resin is a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery because of its vanilla ice-cream aroma and fixative properties. Gum benzoin is a major component of the type of church incense used in Russia and some other Orthodox Christian societies. Benzoin resin is also used in blended types of Japanese incense, Indian incense, Chinese incense, and Papier d'Arménie. When called sambrani or sambraani, it is a popular Indian incense used to scent and treat hair and prevent infections.
There are two types of benzoin resin used in incense and perfumery, benzoin Siam and benzoin Sumatra. Benzoin Siam is obtained from Styrax tonkinensis found across Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Benzoin Sumatra is obtained from Styrax benzoin grown on the island of Sumatra. Both varieties are pathogenic resins, which are exuded from the tree when it is damaged.
In perfumery, benzoin is used as a fixative, slowing the dispersion of essential oils and other fragrance materials into the air.:confused:
 
I have tried 2 vanillas so far, Greensmokes and V4L. I like Greensmokes the best (granted, I've only vaped the 2 so far). I'm a long time user of Capella flavors, so will be DIYing my own vanilla from their vanilla custard. I bought a bottle of V4L's vanilla 18mg nic liquid, and it is pretty decent. I'm also tickled at how *easy* it was to reload my used Greensmoke and V4L carts!! I'm new to vaping, but dude, I am getting *so* into this! I'm wanting to get a modded e-cig, but still reading and trying to decide, so I'll stick with these and refill while I do that.

I would suggest using Stevia glycerin to sweeten if you like a sweeter vape. Sucralose is a toxin: Sucralose dangers

You can get stevia glycerin from iherb.com, and it doesn't have the characteristically bitter flavor that most stevia has. It is *very* sweet, a single drop may be enough to sweeten a whole batch of DIY liquid (though I haven't tested that yet).

I'm a health coach, and spend a lot of time helping my clients get off sucralose and nutrasweet (also a toxin), and just wanted to put this in for your consideration...

Trichlorogalactosucrose...just like Grandma used to make. :p

The dose makes the poison. I assume the risk is increased when you take in a larger cumulative dose from various sources: food, water, soft drinks, atmosphere, vaping.

Speaking of the hazards of chlorine, I wonder what the effect is from inhaling the chlorine which off-gasses from the water when you shower?

Is this the Stevia Glycerin?

NOW-06953-l.jpg

Now Foods, Stevia Glycerite, 8 fl oz (237 ml) - iHerb.com

"Sedimentation may occur. Shake well before using."
Might want to let the bottle sit for awhile and then draw liquid off the top to avoid some of the solids in it.

hi folks, vanilla is my favorite e-juice! i fell in love with the taste immediately and i have been chasing the 'perfect' vanilla ever since, lol. is vanilla custard from happyvaper still the best vanilla flavor out there? i currently have vanilla tahity flavoring from fsusa that i am going to try.

i have recently bought 6 different vanillas from 3 seperate companies and only one can i taste the vanilla. it is voidmist and i got extra flavor added. the other ones have almost no taste at all, all with extra flavor. very disappointing.
