McCormick Extracts?

[Betterbait]

Well, I just got back from a mission to find PG locally and a word to all, dont try it on a Sunday! All Tractor places were closed. I did however order some from a local Walmart Pharm. Will be in tomorrow.

Anyway, my ? is?????????????
Because I am a Chef, I decided to look at the many extracts I have in my Pantry. I noticed alot of them contain PG. Has anyone used them for flavoring? Also, I looked at food coloring and the second main Ing. is PG. Does it contain enough PG to use in a pinch?

Thanks for your input

They arnt concentrated enough... first thing I tried I've got them in my kitchen too. Didnt work very well.
Lorann contracted, flavor art, faeries finest, and perfumers apprentice flavoring are your best bet.

Food coloring...is pretty much a no. Might be safe for human consumption..but to much is bad for attys.

Also...your new it's ok...but this area is for recipes, the DIY section is where you ask Q's about DIY DIY e-liquid - E-Cigarette Forum Your more likely to get answers there to.

thanks for the reply. Yea, I was wondering if I posted in the right spot. I wasnt sure because it is part of an ingredient.

thanks again

I use mccormicks for flavor, the only one that really works well tho is the lemon, I use it with watermelon and yum!

i used the orange extract and mint its ok but every other day i just rinse my atty since everyone said itll clog it up, it didnt clog it up yet but i just wash it out just bc...

 

[sugismimi]

I've used the mint also and it does stick with the atty for a while, even when u clean it really good. I am really wanting to try the orange and see how it works. let me know, ok?
I didn't have any problem with burning or clogging but i did use extracts that had alcohol in them, i'm thinking that's why no clogging. also if you use the oils u should cut with vodka, or everclear.

I have added McCormick pure vanilla extract to a PG e-liquid.
McCormick pure vanilla extract: vanilla bean extractives in water, alcohol 35% & corn syrup.

 

[keveck]

Sugars(including corn syrup) will carmelize when heated...this will semi-permanantly destroy your atty. You would have to do some serious cleaning to remove it.

I use mainly VG in my mixes but do us a little McCormick's cinnamon for the PG part which compliments the Capella's flavoring. Just about out the of the latter so I'm thinking about trying a new brand.

 

[Betterbait]

well, you were right about the sugar. I just added a single drop of Vanilla and it tasted great for a few vapes but then it just tasted like burnt sugar. Live and learn!!

 

[sugismimi]

hmmm... I was gonna say I didnt think the atty's got hot enough to carmelize, I mean you have to really heat up any kind of sugar to make it carmalize and it does take a while also.
It is all try and try again, I hold with my original thot tho- Lemon extract does a lot for the fruity flavors!!!

I tried the McCormick vanilla when I first started vaping and it did clog the atty eventually but man the flavor was awesome. That's what I want vanilla liquid to taste like. Anyone ever had a vanilla liquid that tastes like McCormick smells?

the orange is great. but im getting skeptical on how everyone is posting about the clogging up thing.. so far i have no problem, i did remove my wick and the taste became more flavorful... i have used the orange extract with a 100% pg apricot 24 mg and 20% of glycerin to make a 10 mil and then just used three drops of orange.. ono (means yummy in hawaiian)...3 drops was good since the orange is kinda strong in flavor..

i would like some more feed back on the mccormick flavoring... i dont wanna ruin my atty but the ingredients do not say anything about sugar unless an orange nutrients is high in sugar that im unsure about. i take that back i just googled it and it has natural sugar. but mccormicks flavoring is cut on high alcohol %...

i still need the feedback please...

Aloha

If you're using the McCormick Pure Orange Extract, the ingredients should be Alcohol, Water, and Orange Oil. It has no nutritional value, so it likely has insignificant amounts of sugar if any. This shouldn't clog your atomizer. Whenever you consider using an extract you buy in a store, just check the ingredients. They are usually available on the company website, such as McCormicks: Pure Orange Extract

 

[sugismimi]

i'm gonna take all this as a good sign and go get some orange then.I all day vape with an extract mix I made, and I have no problems.
I mix VG with Lorann's watermelon and Lemon extract. TH is good,vapor is even better, and the taste is ONO!! now I've been vaping this for oh I don't know a month, seems longer, but can't be. Sunday night is atty cleaning night(yeah I live an exciting life) and atty's seem good!!!

Dont try the peppermint...........Well you can if you want but it is way to strong for me. Tastes like a candy cane x10.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I MADE IT AND IT WAS A VERY SMALL BATCH FOR TESTING PURPOSES SO USE THIS AND SEE IF YOU LIKE IT WON'T WASTE YOUR SUPPLY TOO MUCH IF YOU DONT LIKE. IF YOU DO LIKE IT THEN MAKE THE AMTS. BIGGER

****I didn't add any nicotine so I did this all by taste and smell, kinda like making spaghetti sauce.
I use metal measuring spoons in US measurements;
1- tsp Lorann's watermelon
1 1/2 tsp of VG
1/8 tsp water, I have well water so didn't bother with distilled or bottled
this sat over nite and the next day, I decided I wanted to try some lemon extract in it.
so to the above I added
1/4 tsp of lemon (mccormicks) extract with 84% alcohol
Shake it up and today is the 3rd day since I made it in it's whole and the lemon has gotten a bit stronger each day. I love it really good. You get a hint of lemon at first then the watermelon blends in. I like it a lot!!!!
