Nature's Flavors? Information needed!

[tiburonfirst]

nikhil, ignore my post in another thread of yours. i see now that anything with gum acacia is not vapeable. since i also seem to react to alcohol based flavors do you think that leaving the bottle uncapped will disburse most of the alcohol and will it still be usable?

Tib, I use some of NF Coffee and Tea System flavors and here's what I do since I don't like an alcohol taste. Pour the flavoring into a small bowl, nuke it in the micro for 10 or 15 seconds and then let it sit out for a couple of hours, then rebottle it. The bowl gives more surface area and heating it helps evap the alcohol off. Hope that helps

thanks, bovinia!

i was not sure what would happen to the flavor composition once the alcohol is gone! looks like all is well though since you've been doing it.

i've been hunting for a pgfree watermelon for ages now - that's not one of the flavors you've tried from them by chance, is it?

No, sorry Tib I haven't tried that one. I don't buy a lot from NF as they are fairly pricey and I don't have any problems with PG. I fell in love with their Organic Caramel Cream. I also have their Cookies and Cream which tastes to me like the creamy center of an Oreo cookie

has anyone reviews of NF fruit flavors?

and, some of the posts that suggest the molecules in their organic wouldn't be as pure as an artificial flavor...i think that's wrong, from watching an interview with Peter Cole, of Decadent Vapours, and speaking with the TPA owner, I believe there are flavors extracted from real plant material, as well as purer or artificial molecules, like TPA red-hots is cinnamaldehyde (sp?) and eugenol - I think just off-hand these are probably not extracted from red-hots or cinnamon or cloves, but are known to be a part of the plant, but are obtained from other sources...but the flavors extracted from plants are extracted from pesticide free plants to avoid getting concentrated pesticides

please correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't believe they're saying anything about their processes being different, just the base materials (not the chemicals)

Nature's Flavors seem to be all the rage lately. As Bov said, they are highly alcohol based. The 5 I tested were Macadamia Nut, Cake Batter, Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry Cheesecake, and White Chocolate. The Cake Batter is the only flavor I would order. The rest were pretty much unvapable even after a few days steep. It this time I don't think NF is really that viable of a wide range flavoring option. YMMV.

I think it's a shame that it's so hard to find VG flavorings for our DIY'ers who can't tolerate any PG in their juices.

I do love their Caramel Cream but like I said, I have to evap the alcohol first before I mix with it and I use it as a stand alone flavor. I don't use it because I have problems with PG, or because it's organic. I tried a supplier's pre-made Organic CC juice and knew I could make it taste better (for me) if I could get the alcohol taste out of it. I am a bit opposite than most vapers, I hate TH. I don't want to feel that burn on my throat and that is one of the many reasons I started DIY.

I did try the Carrot Cake and I found it revolting...wicked strong spice flavor!
