Lorann Percentage for DIY

[kweni16]

Hi everyone! I know this should be on the DIY sections but I'm not allowed to start a new thread there just yet. I just needed some help and info on the percentage of Lorann flavoring I should use on my mix.

I don't have the luxury to waste these Loran flavorings that just came to my door because they're really not available in my country. I'm pretty sure I saw a thread here as to how much percentage I should put ony my DIY but I can't find it anymore. if anyone could, please reply with the link on it.

Anyway, so here are the list of flavors that came in:
- blueberry
- butter
- cheesecake
- chocolate hazelnut
- lemonade
- mango
- marshmallow
- mint chocolate chip
- peppermint
- strawberry kiwi

The only flavor enhancer I have available is ethyl maltol. Please guys I need your suggestions TIA!

I DIY my juice...but I'm a menthol vaper, and am not that sure about fruity flavors at all. I know that for me..the "recommended" 20% flavoring was WAY too much! lol! But that's with menthol and koolada enhancer...with a dash of peppermint. I am currently mixing a 85PG/15VG mix with 7% flavor. I talked to another DIY mixer who agrees with me about lowering the percentage on the flavorings...and she vapes tobacco flavors. It's going to be hit and miss, I'm afraid....good luck!

So you always start wih 7% flavorings each time?

Judging from the website I found, those flavorings are made specifically for baking and candymaking, not for juice. I did see some other threads in google where some people are at least discussing it, but the few threads I looked at didn't seem like everyone knew what they were talking about (or should even have access to nicotine). I would recommend going to the DYI section, since you have your post count high enough.

I use Lor Ann's for my DIY. So far, i can give you the results on:
- Strawberry, 15%, tastes good, but the taste is a little artificial, like in cheap strawberry cake, but nice anyway;
- Caramel, 9%, very sweet en nice;
- Hazelnut / Chocolate, 10%, but this is still a test batch and not the final percentage.

I used to start on 15% on these flavors. But for some that is way too strong. So now i start at 7% and build up from that.

I recently tried a lot of my FA flavors. But yesterday i decided to finish my trials on the Lor Ann flavors. The problem is i have too many flavors to try...

I've tried a few Lorann at 10% - some are a little strong (mint chocolate chip was waaayy strong at 10% and I cut it with a little Bavarian Cream), but most of them are good at that percentage. Like Vappa suggests, start at 7% and adjust as needed.

Yep, i use that one for reference.

Thanks for the link Taniger, I've been trying several different combos and percentages, but quickly found out that it all varies upon vendor and specific flavor. My self made spreadsheet is getting way too big. Some flavors I mix at 5%, some I mix at 20%. All depends

 

[fourthrok]

Yep...it depends on a lot of factors. I always use Flavor Apprentice and I always start with 7% flavoring. I can tweak from there.

When I have new flavorings I always mix 3ml at 5, 10, 15, and 20% flavoring and try them on an i306 atty. I find it's really the only way I can get the flavor that I like. Flavor is not linear, twice as much is not twice as good! LOL

Some I mix at 5 or 8% and some at 15%. I save the recipe on ejuicemeup and I also mark the precent of flavor on the label for the juice (as well as the PG/VG, water, nic level, and date) just in case I forget or lose the info on the computer.

Good luck and Enjoy!

whatever you do don't use the butter. it is not safe for vaping

I guess it is all about individual taste, but I found that 20% is right for my preference. Any less and the flavor does not come through. Just like vaping steam. That is the problem i had when using store bought juices.
