Is this the right stuff?

[mary_d]

I was looking around the local craft store and found a isle with Lorrann's but I am not sure if it is the right stuff or not. Here is the info and also a pic from their site to show what it looks like. Sorry to be a pain I just want to make absolutely sure this is the same stuff before I going buying any and if it is I will be taking the list with me to know what is good for vaping .

"LORANN OILS-A twin pack of flavors or oils for candy making! Ideal for hard candy chocolates frostings cookies fudges and baking. 4 times stronger than extracts! Package includes recipes! Each bottle has .125 fluid ounces inside."

yes, thats the right stuff I would suggest stearing clear of the oil based flavors though.

Awesome thank you sooooo much! I found a list on here of what was/wasn't safe to use of the Lorrann's and I printed it out and taking it with me . I am so excited that I found a place in this tiny little hick town that sells it LOL.

Thanks Banjo I have read the Guide to DIY Flavoring about three times already now and have it bookmarked LOL. When I first started vaping not even two weeks ago I decided I wanted to go the DIY route and was jumping in within 2 days (time for my stuff to come in the mail). Before that 2 days I was reading until my head hurt lol. I have used TPA and love it and also Seedman's and YUCK it really needs the TA for taste I guess. This is the first time using Lorrann's and I wanted to double check that it was the right stuff before running out spending even more money that I shouldn't really be spendin .

I am not sure but I don't think I have read the Items You Might Need For DIY yet. I am going to go read it over now just to be on the safe side

Thanks Again!

Yeah, none of us have any obsessive traits...

Welcome to your new obsess... errr... hobby Mary!

Looks like you are well on your way.

 

[mary_d]

Obsessed what me?! Ok maybe just a teeny tiny bit.

Thanks for the welcome . Would love to post here more but there is already so much info there isn't much need to ask to many questions so I just sit back and read,vape,read,vape lol.

Think I am going to stick with TPA they seem to be much stronger in flavor than Lorrann's . Lesson learned I guess now that I am stuck with a bunch of weak flavors LOL.

Hello Mary! I found with the LorAnns, certain flavors are stronger/weaker than others. But Capellas has some of the best flavors I have found. Give them a try, I do not think you will be disappointed. As for the LorAnns, I use the Bavarian Creme and the Cinnamon Roll often. I also use the Blackberry with the Bavarian Creme and it is really good as well. But most of them are kinda bleh to me. Welcome to DIY and have fun!!!!

CV,


Thanks for the info btw do you know where the best place is to find Capellas? I am trying to vape the cinnamon roll now but it is just so darn weak at 25% . The mint chocolate chip and the cran-raspberry aren't to bad but it just takes so much of it to get any flavor.

I guess it's live and learn LOL.


Thanks!
Mary

Ok I gotta say I think Scubabatdan was right on it when he said "Again see above, I do not believe it is the Lorann flavors reducing the actual flavor. I have done some testing and found that the same drops like 20 cherry added to straight PG is very flavorful, whereas 20 drops to 50/50 PG/VG is masked, and to straight VG it is even more masked but good aroma. So I think it is the concetration of VG that reduces the flavor IMO" because I just mixed cinnamon roll at 15% with pure pg no vg at all and WOW I have flavor more than I had mixing it at 25% with vg in the mix. I am going to try it with the weaker flavors and see how it goes but I am going to have to wait a couple of days until my pg gets here because I just used the last bit I had .

Mary, hang on to the flavors that were weak for you.. the longer you vape the better your sense of smell and taste will get, eventually they may not taste as weak as they do today

Thanks for the advice Kim. I will give it some time and try mixing some of them up again in a month or so . At the moment I am waiting for my order of TPA from onestopdiyshop to come in (LOVE TPA!). I know I am getting a bit carried away but I already have 53 items in my cart ready for another order this Thurs. hehe

The LorAnn Black Walnut is pretty strong. I used 5% in a tobacco-based mix and it stood out.

 

[MaxUT]

VG does mask the flavor somewhat. I've found that it takes longer for the flavor to come through after first mixing it. Give it a couple of days at least and then try it again.

I have that one and have been looking at it over and over tempting to try it but didn't. I am going to go try it right now thanks .

Max WOW you were so right that stuff is pretty darn strong! I did 10% flavor with 20vg/80pg at 18mg nic and I can taste it for sure. It actually made me cough the first couple of vapes LOL.
