You're right Kate - Pralines and Cream is wonderful! Used about 1 part flavoring to 3 parts PG and it's a little bit strong. I will dilute it some. I want to try Sassafras next. The only ingredients listed though are "artificial flavorings" :confused:. Smells so darn good that I'm going to give it a try. I figure I can always clean my atomizer if it clogs.

I have a regular banquet! I've actually lost a couple pounds in the past month! So I'm real happy about that. I'm sure it's because I've been e-smoking instead of eating.

Now I have to figure out how to keep all my little dropper bottles in order. As of now they're all just jumbled together in a little tin box. I'm thinkin' I'd like to make some kind of case with clear vinyl pockets to keep them in alphabetical order.

One other thing, I ended up purchasing my Vegetable Glycerin from a local Natural Foods Store. It was in the baking section so I'm assuming that it's alright for food consumption. The label says:

Frontier Natural Flavors
Vegetable Glycerin
Premium Quality: All Natural
Best By: March 2011

I purchased 8 FL oz (237 ml) for 7.49. It seems to be vaping very well! Also, was there ever any resolution to the safety of vaping VG into the lungs? I remember reading a thread where it said it's not safe to vape oil or VG but I'm not quite certain, any clarification on this would be great!

One more thing as well! I gave my penstyle to my SO and have been vaping purely out of my DSE901 and I really noticed a strong difference tastewise. In the penstyle you could really taste the flavors of the nicotine liquid (be it apple, RY4, etc;) whereas the 901 the only flavor that really comes through is menthol. Now I'm going to purchase an extra Penstyle because I want to taste more flavor!

Another thing, has anyone noticed from smoking a sort of numbness to the tongue or that flavors don't taste as strong as they did before? I don't know if it's in my head, from a cold a few days ago or from vaping the e-cig but it's weird, a bit scary and very annoying. Thanks!

Same here on both counts, pen gives more flavour and if i vape too much takes it away again!

I vape a pen and a bling as they compliment each other, otherwise i taste nothing.
 
With christmas and Thanksgiving right around the cornrer - I think I need to order up some ginger bread, Candy Cane, and OOOOOOoooooo - Roast Turkey LOL!!! The posibilities with flavorings is AMAZING!!
i had the bubblegum turn up this morning, just waiting for the rest of my kit to turn up now to try it!

I've been looking at the Lorann flavourings and did a google search for Lorann suppliers in the UK. I eventually came to the ebay shop on the link below...

<copynpaste>
stores.ebay.co.uk/Make-or-Take

(I don't have my 15 posts yet :( )

Look for the flavourings link about 2/3 rds the way down.

I worked it out and though the product itself is more expensive, if you take shipping costs from the US into account there's about a £5 difference.

I priced up 3 flavours from above, double drams @ £3.99 gives £11.97 (3 items = free P+P) The same from Barry's Farm including shipping is just over £17.

Hope this is of use to UK peops.

NB though, (thanks Kate!) It's still a good idea to research which ones are ok to use - no oils, sugars or colourings. Unfortunately I didn't do that so I've taken pot luck with my awaited arrival of cinnamon, cherry and peppermint 8-o

Well my LorAnn coconut flavour came today, I ordered it from the seller mentioned above on ebay, nice quick delivery and well packaged :thumb: As I have posted before I have a thing for bounty bars or when in the states Almond Joy's :oops:

I mixed the flavour with some chocolate juice, about one part flavour to 2 parts juice and it is exactly like a bounty, and very very good. I also tried it with some plain VG and this is also nice, both are well worth a try. I am going to mix it with some JC Choc Almond Dec later on to see how that is.

I thought smokesters 'cream' high strength juice may be good for a base to provide the nicotine, but haven't tried it, should go with anything, perhaps even bubblegum Apo? But that depends on if it actually tastes of cream!! I will try the banana creme though as I really like the Janty banana juice it reminds me of that milkshake syrup.

I've long wanted to try these and have just ordered the traditional and fruit kits from sweetcreations (UK-based). Thanks for doing the groundwork, everyone!

The kits include a few oils (which I can always use for baking ;) ) among such delights as chocolate, coconut and cranberry :D

Ordered some 36mg juice as base and can't wait to get mixing!

They arrived quickly, but there are so many of them that I can't make a batch of each.

So I've cut my high nic juice with some glycerine, use that to fill the carts and then dip some flavour on with the hollow end of a plastic fork (which only holds a tiny volume). That gives me enough for an instant flavour hit, and I've got to say so far so good. The coconut is a bit intense when 'smoked' this way perhaps.

Has anybody tried the cherry? It smells delicious but it does contain some additives (red40, blue1).

OK, my experience with butterscotch, coconut and pineapple is that they are all very intense and--like the apple carts I have--the flavour seems to stick to the atomiser for days. One of my penstyles still tastes slightly sickly Piña Colada, which I found out isn't one of my favourite flavours :cry:

Obviously, it may be a better idea to pre-mix the juice. I'll use the lid of one of my carts to make up a tiny volume for dipping the filling (after pre-wetting the base with a bit of Vg/water), but for now I just want to smoke some pure juice first ;)

People in this thread mention crazy volumes of 10-20% LorAnn (e.g. 1 ml in 5) for their mixes. I have the suspicion that my stuff is more concentrated (it came in tiny 3.7 ml bottles). In any case, I'm starting with less. I wish I still had access to my microlitre pipettes...
