So being new Ive been looking around at different vendors to try different juice. I noticed some sites offer extra flavoring. Anybody add extra flavoring? Does this effect VG or PG or anything? I like my juice really sweet and lots of flavor. My favorite so far is Wow Peach Cobbler 80PG/20VG from V4L. Omg...I cant get enough. I would like a few more that I love this much.

I order all my e-liquids with extra flavor, because I have such a hard time tasting most e-liquids. Some flavorings are PG based, some are ethyl alcohol based...it just depends on where you buy your e-liquids from. When extra flavor is added by the vendor, it does not affect the nic levels or anything like that, because they are mixing it to the nic level you choose. I buy all mine from Virgin Vapor and she will even make XX-tra flavor for you if needed...her flavorings are all organic ethyl alcohol based.

When I first started this, I ordered all my juice with extra flavor, because it was so hard to taste it. I worked my way through several places, trying a little of this and that, to see what vendors and flavors I liked. One place I almost didn't try, because they flat refused to do extra flavor, even as a special mix, even if I paid extra. After the first order I was hooked, and now it's the only place I buy juice. Hands down the best juice I've vaped.

Smartest people I have ever met ask questions, all the time…

Like CMC already pointed out, the additional flavorings are such a small percentage of the juice, the overall change in the product will be minimal by adding a little more. That said, the flavorings used, and there base will be something to discuss with the vendor if you really want to get into.

Since taste (meaning the "yummy" response to flavors) is so extremely subjective, no simple yes/no, good/bad rules apply to percentages of flavoring. For some of us, some of the time, and with some juices, extra flavoring is like the blooming of a beautiful flower. For others of us, at other times, and with other juices, extra flavoring is toxic to the enjoyment of the juice and kills it dead. More is not always better.

I've not ordered juice from Mrs. T., because her prices are out of my comfort zone (too high), but I like reading that she won't add extra flavoring. I understand why some vendors give customers almost unlimited options with the various juice components, but that's a little like a movie or that forces the viewer to choose between alternate endings (but lets you see or read only the ending you chose before watching the rest of the movie). Personally, I'd rather buy a juice with no options that was perfected with great skill and loving care by a talented artisan juice-maker, so that I get exactly what he/she created. If I want custom juice, I'll make it myself (which I do frequently).

some juices really benefit from a little kick. Any juice that is derived from a natural flavoring needs that bump. ie tangerine is a mild flavor at best by bumping it you can bring out a more pronounced flavor. You do need to be careful though, some flavors can be bumped into unvapeable states lol

I have bumped a couple of juices (sweet tarts, strawberry, a couple more). its worth it from time to time.

You should check out The Vapor Room. They offer single and double flavor shots on all their juices for 50 cents a shot. They're also having a super good sale right now, so it would be a great time to give them a shot. (See what I did there... shot?! Huh? Oh, how droll...)

Anyway, you can use the coupon code "TVRHOLIDAY" to get 15% off. You also get a free 30mL bottle with your first order. They've got flavors of the week that are $10 for 30mL too and ground shipping is only $1 right now. Personally I like their Waffle flavor, it's super tasty.
