Has anyone used these two flavors before ? The Lorann grape and coffee i got is like thick dark syrup . Both are not even transparent in the slightest and they actually stain my finger . Im wondering if these are safe to vape with this much color in it . WHen i mean thick i mean like thicker than maple syrup ,almost globby . The coffee is BLACK like thick motor oil thats been in a car for 50k miles . The grape is a blackish purple and has the same consistancy .

Not coffee- but the grape worried me too. It turned out that the flavor changed too much when heated, ant then faded to almost nothing but color and slightly sweet and burnt over a week of steeping at both low and high % (about 3-15%). I put it aside for summer ice drinks for kids. It did wash out of cartos easily with water/lemon and an alcohol flush though.

Im just wondering if the ones i got are normal ,not if i should use them or not in general . I know a few vendors using these two flavorings and i dont mind the coloring . I was also wondering how many people use lorann cinnamon oil ? Iv been using it and its pretty good but it is a oil . I only use 1-2 drops per 10ml though and it does dissolve in the juice at that small amount .

I have the Grape but not Coffee. The consistency of the Grape is not much different than other PG based flavors I have. Surely not thick like maple syrup. The Grape is very dark in color, also very easy to over flavor with it. I use a few drops in my small mixes (as an addition to other fruit flavors. Not a standalone flavor IMO) and it dilutes down to a rather cool looking plum color. Maybe you got a bad bottle, although I have never seen one from LorAnn myself. Whether a person likes their flavorings or not, LorAnn seems to have pretty good quality control.

I'm not sure that LorAnn does have good quality control. Over a year ago a popular vendor was having problems with his most popular eJuice flavor. He posted that he uses LorAnn and that their flavorings are so inconsistent that he can't use his recipes and have them all come out the same. There was considerable discussion about this and he gave many good examples. Now that's third hand information but something to consider.

Yea my grape is black .Light doesnt even shine through it . Same with coffee . I tried the coffee and three drops made the whole ejuice black . I used it in a mix and it wasnt bad but it was a bit weak with only 3 drops .

I have read at least 10 threads before with people saying how Loranns is pretty inconsistent . I do like some of them. Bav cream and cheesecake iv heard the most inconsistencies with
