"with an analogish "feel", "not taste" on inhale/exhale"

Yes! Thats it, I'm looking for that same analog feel I guess, the TH just isn't the same. Sometimes it is and it feels like sitting down after you've been standing for a long time, that ahhh feeling.

" but couldn't help wondering if it wasn't only a matter of how sweet a certain juice was but how strong the flavor was?"

I wondered that too, there are some mighty strong flavors that I've chosen but the thin mint one is a bit more subtle. Problem is, now I can't seem to get a TH out of it like I was yesterday, I'm getting confused by this hit and miss TH with the same juice :confused: And yes, its a fully charged bat and full carto.

Spaz, you can call me anything you want, just don't call me a smoker :) BTW, can I call you Spaz?? :D

Woolly, I just went down to a local cake and candy supply store today and bought a bunch of the LorAnn flavorings (yay for not paying for shipping!). I've got some unflavored juice on the way, getting ready to start up my little bathroom laboratory. LOL.

OK I thought I read somewhere that you weren't supposed to use normal food flavorings? Heck, if I can do that, wow, that would really open up some doors. I'm an experimenter and DIYer in pretty much every other aspect of my life so it would only make sense I start making my own juice flavors. Heck, last night b4 I went to bed, on a whim I grabbed an empty bottle and squirted some PB, chocolate and English toffee in. For good measure I dripped a few drops of that raspberry stuff in for tartness. I'm sure it'll be disgusting but gotta start somewhere (and use up the juices I don't like) lol.

One other important fact that I've kind of overlooked. I've been on pretty strict low carb since Feb so not much in the way of sweet. So the intense sweet, which I thought I wanted, is simply too much. All these things I was dying to try are just too over the top. In small doses ok but no way an "all day vape", for me anyway.

I know so many ask "what flavor should I get" and are answered with the "everyones taste is different so experiment" but you guys have delved a bit deeper into why we gravitate towards some flavors more than others. I think thats important for people to think about...BEFORE they go out and spend $50 on a ton of juices that make them gag lol.

Such great suggestions, thank you so much!!

Sure! It fits.

I was perusing the DIY subforum here and it seems that the LorAnn's brand is acceptable to use. There are many threads about it. Someone over there suggested I look for local cake shops to find LorAnn's flavorings, and I found one that had a bunch. There is also a sticky over on the DIY subforum that has a color coded list of what LorAnn's are good/okay to use and which are less appropriate. I took a copy of that list with me. Our local Hobby Lobby also has that same brand, but I haven't looked there yet to see what their selection is like.

A few months back I tried some diy using loranns. Let's just say results were not as anticipated. (I think I still have some of the grape from hell I concocted lol). I think part of the problem was that I didn't have the high concentration lorannes. I do plan on trying again. Live and learn as the old saying goes.

Trapped within my imagination
Yea, I had the same kind of problems when I tried DIYing with Loranns... To Get the level of flavor you want you have to add more flavoring which increases the sweet factor... And to get the dense vapor I liked I'd have to add more VG , which is also sweet on its own.. And I missed the tobacco base.. For me, everything had a distinct "Lorrans "taste" and I always ended up with an over the top grape, watermelon etc..Which is great if you want that and many people do really well DIYing...I just could never get a vapable balance lol

They are nice to have on hand for if I have a juice that needs just a hint more caramel etc... So I would suggest buying just a few bottles at first ( unlike my mad collection lol)
