I'm needing some help, went n got some lorann flavorings yesterday hoping cinnamon roll was going to be great especially if I bought the cream cheese icing but she didn't have that yet Seeing as I did buy the bigger bottle of the stuff It needs some help, and I was thinking that I could use imitation butter, it's a brand at hobby lobby and there vanilla is really good. I know what ppl say about butter but I don't care really lol Its clear and the ingreds check out just wanted some input on what to add to it to make it better, I already added balvarian cream just thought a little butter would do the trick, since real icing is made with butter sugar and vanilla. Thanks!! Also I got cheesecake, cotton candy, rasberry, blueberry, bubblegum, strawberry and blackberry. Would love some good recipes..my adv is schnozzberry by the vapors knoll, it would be my dream to be able to even come close to replicating that someday lol anyway I appreciate any help I could get

Just my own experience, in no way a guru of anything:
The only way I've ever been able to get a decent cinnamon roll flavor was to make the "icing" first and then add the cinnamon roll.
Working with what you have, I suggest equal parts vanilla and Bavarian cream and a small amount of cotton candy (ethyl maltol I assume). I don't necessarily think butter would be the flavor you're looking for but I could be wrong, so if it's there and you're willing it couldn't hurt?
Once you get the icing taste close to your liking, add your cinnamon roll in small amounts, testing along the way so you know when to stop before it is just cinnamon and nothing else.
I mix by drops so I can't help with percentages or recipes... But you will find what you seek soon enough!

Thanks for the input, trying that now
.just went and got a bigger bottle of balvarian cream today so now I'm sure that'll do the trick. Its prob the best so far out of all of loranns ive tried. Wouldnt get this cinnamon roll again unless your intension is to add a little cinnamon to something without running the risk of adding too much, not the most cost efficient way to do that but anyway adding the butter pretty much did nothing but thin it out ended up having to make a 60 ml and who knows what the percentages are now lol

I typed a wall of text only to read it and realize I really have some mad science and logic going on with my DIY.
I even confused myself for a minute.
Basically where I'm at for a starting point is 1 drop of most flavors per ml of base. If I want the flavor as a background note I cut it in half. If I want it heavy I'll double it. Sweetener is 1 drop per 3ml. Menthol is 1 drop per 4ml. Ethyl maltol is normally 2 drops per 5ml unless I want thicker body, like a pipe tobacco.
Lots of people don't care for mixing by drops because of random drop densities from different bottles and specific gravities, but for me it makes perfect sense and It often yields good results, if not a good starting point. After that it's just adding or taking away whatever flavors I want less or more of. Mix sensibly at first (not many folks land the chocolate glazed Krispy Kreme custard donut vape on the first mix) and build your mixes with the knowledge you gain along the way.
Some flavors are just plain strong, but you can either rely on your own sense to determine that or browse the interwebz to see what the kids are doing with the flavor.
There's a lot of information out there, so I suggest you take everything with a grain of salt (besides safety. Safety first.) and develop what tastes right to you.
All this of course if you're not looking to develop and sell a line of liquids lol... You should probably listen to someone else then. I just vape for my own pleasure and I often impress myself with my simple mixes, so the only person that really matters is covered.
I wish you luck in your search for the perfect cinnamon roll. A little work and you'll have it down in no time! If nothing else I bet you'll come up with something awesome pretty soon!
Have fun!
