List of flavoring/concentrate suppliers- confusion

[MisterCombo21]

Hello all. I am hoping someone has some knowledge about this. I have been DIY'ing for about a year and a half and using mainly FA and TFA. I sometimes will be tempted to try another company but it is getting extremely difficult to tell who has original flavors and who is rebranding. What are the other companies? I also know FlavorWest, Inawera, Loranns, Capellas are all distinct manufacturers.
A facebook group is talking about Vapezone. There is a vapingzone.com, a vaporzone.com and a vapezone.com. I called one and they did not know if they were original or rebranded... There is no way to tell from any of their sites whether they are a manufacturer...

I also saw mention of mount baker Vapor and Heartland. Are they also independent manufacturers? I would love to try Ahlusion but it appears they now only do wholesale and no one online sells their extracts...

Any ideas? Want to try some new things but am weary of buying things I already have... Even ecigexpress sometimes rebrands things as TobaccoExpress. I still dont know what that is LOL... Thanks.


EDIT: Someone in the facebook group said that vapingzone.com makes their own flavors, likely alcohol based and one person said some of their tobaccos are off the chain... Got that part solved at least

mount baker Vapor uses Flavor West flavors. Some say MBV dilutes them but I've never compared them so that part I would consider more of a rumor.

Cheers,
Steve

From what I understand, Mt. Baker uses Flavor West. Since I've gone with Inawera, they are pretty much who I will be using most of the time.

Awesome... Just ordered from Inawera.. Pscyhed. I want to try more fruits, darker ones like the Smoked Plum... Thanks guys.

Anyone else? Just saw on ecigexpress they have Signature flavors which I am sure are another vendor... Its pretty frustrating...

After reading this thread I decided to try one on one flavors....they are quite good. Good Luck to You on your DIY e-liquid.

The Signature flavors at ECX are TFA. The regular (not SC or Gourmet) DIY flavors at VapingZone are TFA. The Gourmet flavors there are Bakers flavors from Russia. I agree, it's pretty frustrating and annoying. What's the secret? It just makes me not buy it.
Inawera rocks.

 

[MisterCombo21]

Ah, interesting. So there are three categories. DIY Flavoring is TFA. The next category is VZ/SC Gourmet which is Bakers. What is the Super Concentrated?
Someone else claimed their Tobacco flavors are unique and that is under the category Super Concentrated.... So maybe those are made in house.
Thanks for shining light on the Signature line as well...

UPDATE! We finally emailed VZ on that line, and here is a copy of part of their reply:

All of the flavors under the DIY flavoring category are either from LA, TFA or FW. I'm sorry, but this is all that I can provide to you.

(I had asked specifically about Honeydew - and they told me it was TFA...but it smells/tastes/vapes NOTHING like TFA Honeydew. I also asked them to list the flavors and tell me 'what was what' - as far as LA, TFA or FW...and that's what they wouldn't provide).

So if you want to know which flavor is which vendor in that line - you can email them...and perhaps you'll find out.

I think MBV dilutes their FW for good reason. The type of person using their flavors for DIY isnt the hardcore diy'er using measuring devices accurate to .01%. If they were hardcore diy'er they would buy straight from FW for cheaper. Diluting them makes it easy to work with for the more minor league crowd.

Thank you! They didn't return my email about the DIY flavors.
