Is there a worldwide vanilla shortage or something?

[Train2]

I've checked for a well-reputed vanilla several places, as my original source is out of stock...and several other vendors were out too.

Happy to take a recommendation for a good straight vanilla (I mix it with tobacco). Only been vaping a couple months, so I guess I'm just curious whether there's actually a reason or if this just happens occasionally and I should stock more...

Natures Flavors vanilla cream. High Desert Vapes sells it in their DIY section.

Actually, yes, there is a vanilla bean shortage:

Did you find their vanilla to be too dark and that it clogs/stains your tanks? I loveeeed the flavor, but it clogged all my stuff. Its to bad too, because they nailed the vanilla taste.

You should check out vanda from Johnsons creek or High Brows's vanilla flavor. Both are great in any tank and they always seem to be in stock.

Nature's Flavors and the Backwood Brew is nice too

Which vanilla are you referring to? I've never had a problem with Natures Flavors vanilla cream. I use it with 100% VG in my Vivi Novas on a 2.8 ohm head and it works great. The head lasts a couple weeks. And it's not dark at all. It's clear at first and a light orange color once steeped.

Yes! Before it hit the Huff - many realized the "natural" vanilla production is in trouble. That doesnt mean though that there's any shortage of "artificial" vanilla flavoring. Unlike manufacturing ice cream and gourmet food products, my hunch is most of the e juice flavors are lab produced currently. I live on "the Orchid Isle" here: Many dont realize that the vanilla bean is an orchid plant. As such "natural" Vanilla Bean production from the orchid plant isnt only limited; its also costly. Growing Orchids (including the vanilla) is such an involved process, I dont expect the shortage to be resolved quickly. Have e Juice manufacturers come out with "all natural" flavorings?

No need to mix. Velvet Cloud Vapor has a great vanilla tobacco.

They also have a great vanilla custard.

I haven't had anything from VCV that I didn't like. They're really good people and take their craft seriously. They extract their own nicotine in house and also tobacco flavoring; Tobacco Absolute/TA.

Do yourself a favor and give them a shot. I'd be seriously surprised if you didn't like what you get.

Shatner... I have never heard of Velvet Cloud... they look like a must try... any other feedback you can give on them?

Would you consider posting a link to the one you describe? They have a lot of vanilla cream, and you've caught my attention with the color. Pretty-please?

Here's a link Organic Vanilla Cream. I think they also have some made up already if you prefer not to make it yourself. I haven't tried their premade juice yet but my friend said it wasn't as good as mine. Lol. I do 18% vanilla cream and 2% NF caramel cream, or caramel candy TFA will work also. It gives it a nice sweetness, but let it steep a week for sure.

 

[XeniaMike]

I like Johnson Creek "Vanda". I think it would go good with tobaccos like you said, too. It's 100% VG and could probably do with a bit of thinning out by mixing as well.

Smokey, check your PM's lmao

Sorry this is so late (many thanks to DancingHeretik for helping me find my way back here).

Thank you, MiamiMom63, for the link. I do mix my own these days, but I've been afraid to end up with another dark brown vanilla. If I understand you correctly I can follow your recipe to get a light color in vanilla. So I'm off to find ingredients and I'll post from DIY if I have questions. Thanks again!

Dang, gettin' excited

Finally vaping this! Thanks for the recommendation!

It came in with a pretty strong chemical smell - so I've been letting it steep til now.
Now, it's pleasant, but frankly, a VERY VERY MILD overall flavor - maybe it's cause it's my first/only all-VG juice?
Probably not my ADV, but at least I'm not going to PIF the bottle (like I figure I'll do once I've tried the FIFTEEN other juices I've ordered in the past week or so!)
