Im going about 10ml per day now on 11mg nic ever since I got my reo, its so convenient that I don't even notice my juice consumption anymore (plus the fact that im using a custom atomizer that burns liquid like a 2 stroke engine).

Anyways im going to make my own ejuice and was wondering if im going to use loranns (i think its oil based) as the main flavor in the juice , will it clog anywhere on the reo its not going to eat right through the silicone hose now is it ? or maybe build up ugly residue on the catch cup?. anyone make their own ejuice here using lorrans and use it on the reo? im thinking about 300ml to make it worth while, maybe 1ml initial doses until I get the flavor I like.

I use LorAnn* flavorings with my DIY. Unless it specifically says it's an oil-based flavor on it, you should be fine. My only complaint about LorAnn's is their blueberry flavor. It tastes great, don't get me wrong, but I've noticed that whatever juice I make with it loses its blueberry flavor after a couple of months... so my advice is if you're using LA blueberry, use it only in small batches where you'll use up all the juice within a couple months.

In general, oils are bad for your atty. They build up gunk on the coils that is difficult to burn/clean off. Most LorAnn flavors aren't oil-based.

* I use 4 or 5 different flavor companies of which LorAnn is but one, but I like the selection of LA flavors at our local cake supply house so it gets used a lot. Their caramel flavor is fantastic.

Yeah, LorAnns is fine in a pinch (and it's great that they're usually available locally), but do yourself a favor and get some flavors from Perfumer's Apprentice. The LorAnns just don't taste as good, aren't as strong, and tend to fade. The only LorAnns flavor I still use is their Cheesecake. It's yummy. For everything else I use Perfumer's Apprentice or FlavourArt.

Since there's a million uses for food flavorings, I don't think there's an issue with international shipping (aside from the cost)...

To answer your question, I've never had an issue like that, but it's mostly the mints that are oil based, and I don't use them... Just not a mint fan.

Sorry I got off on a tangent... just a thought...

Yeah I guess I'll have to go the F'arts route since we have some local resellers here. I have heard of Perfumers Apprentice but havent seen any locally. It's just that im more of a VG guy since PG has this weird effect on my throat which I dont like. im more of a 80/20 or 70/30 vg/pg kind of vaper =) plumes over flavor. I can probably have one of our local ejuice makers custom mix me a batch, but im thinking of making ejuice at least once in my life :toast:
