I order all of my flavors directly from Lorann (Link: https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super-strength-flavors.aspx )

I typically use 10-15 drops per 15ml bottle I make. If I do a mixed flavor about 8-9 drops of each (Lemon-Lime)

While they are called "Oils" only the ones with the word "Oil" in the name actually contain any oil that could be harmful to an ecig or user, and they're so strong that I still vape Clove + Anise + Vanilla as a home made Djarum Black with about 5 drops of each oil and about 10 drops of vanilla.


Edit: Lorann also sells 4 and 12 packs of dropper tops that go with their 1dram, 1ounce and 2ounce bottles. They make everything so much easier.

yes they are alot stronger then TPA flavors. Do not ask for a factor :), i really have no clue. I have some TPA flavors, but only so far ordered 4 flavors from VZ, and 2 drops on 5 or 10 ml already is enough for me

Thanks! So far i've been using TPA flavorings but will make a VZ order with SC flavors. Is there a SC flavor dedicated thread besides this?

I use Vaping Zones Super Concentrates, exclusively. I use 6 to 7 drops per 5 mL of base. I'm a 100% VG vaper, though. You may very well need to use less.

I need to fill some V2 cartridges for a friend. I have Glycerin (says USP) and a few VZ SC drops- she wants no nicotine. Do you add any distilled water? (If not, I'll probably have to add more flavor, since I'll probably have to add distilled water for it to work in the V2 cartridge.)

Definitely add water or PGA to your vg if you want it to work in a V2 carto. PGA can deliver a more noticeable hit and more flavor. Distilled water is a cleaner hit. I usually add 5% PGA and then after a good shake, check the consistency. I follow with water to get it to the consistency I want.

The benefits of PGA is (theoretically) is it helps in keeping the coil from gunking up. Water seems to add additional volume to the vapor.

As usual, start with a small amount and keep track of your percentages until you get it right. You can heat it up a little (usually setting it for a couple of minutes in hot tap water will be enough) to aid in mixing but wait to vape it until it's room temperature again so you know how it will vape when you give it to your friend.

Thought Id pop in here and ask a question since we are talking super concentrates.

Ive really enjoyed the Golden Virginia from ECX. However in recent purchases its just not the same as when it was first released. In fact Ive found all ECX super concentrates have gotten weaker. I definitely have my suspicions as to why but Ill save that for another discussion on a diff day.

Basically does anyone know for certain if VZ has the equivalent to ECX's Golden Virginia? I know its not VZ Honey Flu Cured. I vape that already. Just curious if anyone out there has experience with Golden Virginia and knows an equivalent?

Thanks.

I don't have experience with that flavor but I have to agree on certain ECX's SC's being different than the first batches that were sold. I would stick with with the VZ on those and might ask the vendor or look by name there if there is any comparable Virginia alternative.

Could it be Virginia Flue Cured from VZ? Both this and the Honey Flue Cured are very, very good!

Wondering what else do you mix with Real Cig?

I love mixing Real Cig with Menthol.




Real Cig has been the main ingredient in my all day vape since I discovered it late last year. Seeing VZ running out of stock from time to time, I now order Real Cig in the 4oz bottle... 2 at a time. I don't plan on running out of this one:)

Try the Virginia Flu cured Super concentrated at VZ. I never thought I liked flu-cured until I tried this. Now it's my favorite tobacco flavor by far. Smells great and tastes great by itself or in mixes.

I just ordered from MFS Flavour Art flavorings for my first DIY- I dont know if they are a super concentrate, they say more concentrated than most and to mix at 1% to start.
I ordered
Burley
Cuban Supreme
Maxx-Blend
:p

Those will require a little bit more patience and learning curve I would say for a beginner. You may need additives with those as well. If you find them not to your liking after some steeping and fiddling try Vaping Zone's super concentrated or Hangsen flavorings. Flavour Art tobaccos are either loved or hated it seems. I do hope they work out good for you though.

Thanks for the info- I am taking notes and am super happy to be getting into the DIY- I will run 5ml test batches on the FA and take a look at VZ concentrates you mentioned. :vapor:
