Lorann's concentrates

[Nago Suka]

First off, let me say I am new to DIY and somewhat new to vaping.

That being said, I've read a few recipes saying that usually just one drop of Lorann's is sufficient. I am trying to make a chocolate cheesecake and am running into issues. I've dropped 4 drops each of Lorann's chocolate and cheesecake flavors (into 10mL of 30mg 70%PG/30%VG base). I can taste a hint of the chocolate and that's it.

Anyone have an opinion as to what's up? Should I let it steep? Is it the atty? (1.5lr cisco 510 on Vmod XL with 18650 bat)

Thanks in advance for any help you have.

I am still new at this, but I have alot of that brand flavors and all seem to need much much more than anyone calls for.....maybe it's me....I like a strong ( real) flavor to come thru.

Depends on the size of the bottle and how strong you want the flavor to be. To me 10%-15% of Lorann flavors is perfect.

Assuming your drops are 20/ml, you've only got about 5% of flavoring there. I use about 15% for Loranns, sometimes 20%, depending on the flavor.
Are you using a juice calculator? You can download a free one and it's always better to use a syringe than counting drops, which are often inconsistent.

Hi Joie

Have been using Lorann Concentrates for over two years now.
The mix I use for consistent flavour is the following-

23% Lorann Flavor
30% 54mg VG based Nic
47% Glycerine VG

Steeped for two days

This seems to work every time for my flavor needs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I suppose the idea I had that I need to use much less % of Lorann's is mistaken.

Are you using some of their new stuff from Italy? I've heard that requires less than the normal, but haven't ordered any of those yet. But the 'normal' Lorann's I make at 20%. If I were making what you are making, I'd make the chocolate at 15% and the cheesecake at 5%. Maybe just keep adding a drop or two and trying it with your atty until you find your sweet spot. Then don't forget how much of what you ended up putting in there...so you won't have to do this all over again! lol!

I watched a video with a guy making ejuice using 1/4 of the bottle size for flavoring because it gave a real strong flavor.. 10% is good, but last night I made some with 15-20% (added extra drops after the recipe amount) and the ejuice I made smell and taste awesome. Also switched from 70pg/30vg to 60pg/40vg, and it makes a huge difference. Now my ejuice is along the same quality and flavor with vapor production as the ones I ordered from allaboutvapor.com

I have found with their cheesecake that you have to use a relatively large amount when combined with their chocolate.

Certain flavors jump out to certain people and some don't. From what I read about the newer lorann's flavorings, you should end up using about a quarter less, but then again, maybe not. Keep adding a little at a time until you get your desired taste and log what you are adding.
