herbal flavors? (Sage, Thyme, Basil, Cilantro, etc)

[eikon]

Does anyone know where I can find herb flavorings? I see "Mary Jane" and "Reggae Night" all over the place, but that's not the herb I am looking for.

When I cook I love the pairing of fruit with herbs or spices, so why not in a vape? (well, with the exception of my favorite, Kiwi with Habanero topped with Sour Cream, YUMMM!)

Some of my juice ideas:
Almond with Apricot and Black Pepper
Cilantro & Lime with jalapeno (is the TFA jalapeno hot, or just the flavor of the chile?)
Lemon & Basil

I could go on...

any ideas? has anyone experimented in this area?

thanks.

My suggestion would be to perhaps make your own flavor extracts. There is an interesting thread on this topic, and people are making flavoring extracts everything from cigars to flavored tea, to flowers...

Ecigexpress carries the Flavour Art line, which has a few spice flavors including black pepper and cardamom (I ordered both to try). I too looked for basil but could not find one that is not oil based, and found the extract thread posted above. I have not tried it yet, but it sounds promising. I would caution that a few herbs like sage and rosemary have quite a bit of natural oil in them, and oil can gunk up coils so you might want to add them into your liquid sparingly. Good Luck!

Freedom Smoke USA has a spice sampler you could try (the thyme is very plesant) and Mt. Baker has flavors like ginger and Hazlenut

Since im fairly new to vaping there is still alot of flavors that i would like to try. One idea that i have been playing around with is powdering fats and oils with maltodextrin, then dissolving them in VG. This would allow some interesting mixes such as Peking duck, hoisin, and ceasar salad flavors. Dont know if its been tried before tho but ive used the same process to make ultra aromatic waters and edible bbq rib flavored rice paper sheets.

That's an interesting idea. I have no clue if it would work, but it may be worth a shot. A nice fruity artisan olive oil vape, hummm....

thanks everyone for the links.

Looks like FA has almost everything I need to mimic my Chi Spice blend, though i'd probably have to make coriander extract.

On second thought, It may be easier just to extract the Chi blend itself...

I just warmed up some Chinese Five Spice (from Sprout's bulk spices) in PG/VG for a few minutes. Strained through a coffee filter and WOW - it's really good! Cinnamon, ginger, has a little bite on tip of tongue (chili pepper?) I wouldn't like straight cinnamon, but this is really good. Not at all sweet, which is good. I don't like sweet flavors. This could be an all day vape.

I'll have to see if it gunks up my coils.

Ooooooh!!! I have some 5 spice powder and some garam masala at home that could make really interesting vapes... I might have to start my extraction lab a little earlier than anticipated.
