New source of liquid/custom flavours & DIY stuff

[Angela]

Received notice today, Flavour Art (a European based (Italy) food flavouring company (Loranns-type company)) has launched 'The vape Heaven' with unflavoured liquid, custom-made flavours, PG, VG, & (of course) loads of flavours for DIY! Looks good!

Have a little look on their site here: Flavourart Express shop

Thanks for the post Angela.

I have bought some flavours from Flavourart in the past and was pleased to see that they were taking note of the use of their products in ecigs. I heard a rumuour about them making tobacco flavours but kind of forgot.

Think I will place an order and give them a try.

Shame their nic juice contains PG

Thx Angela.

They have... *gasp* bacon flavor!
And I'm ecstatic that there's at least one flavoring company out there who understands that their flavorings are going into more than food.
And their prices aren't half bad, either, once I figured out the currency conversion.

i just ordered some stuff from them, i got 15ml samples of 7 different tobacco flavours to be mixed with their top class flavourless e-liquid (PG 50% VG 40% + nic + water, no other weird ingredients/chamicals at all).
They also sells plain VG and PG to cut down nic and they have this MTS Vape Wizard that is supposed to thicken up vapor (not sure what it is, will ask them)
As i'm in italy i hope to receive the order pretty soon, will report back!

Hmmm... I will definitely need to check this out. Thanks for the link!

You're welcome

Great prices too:

50 ml Crystal clear - 0 mg Nicotine (+€6.00) = approx £5.50 / $8.71
50 ml Soft - 18 mg Nicotine (+€9.00) = approx £8.25 / $13.08
50 ml Strong - 24 mg Nicotine (+€11.00) = approx £10.08 / $15.99
50 ml Heavy weight 36 mg Nicotine (+€14.00) = approx £12.82 / $20.35


100 ml Crystal clear - 0 mg Nicotine (+€10.00) = approx £9.16 / $14.54
100 ml Soft - 18 mg Nicotine (+€15.00) = approx £13.74 / $21.82
100 ml Strong - 24 mg Nicotine (+€18.00) = approx £16.50 / $26.18
100 ml Heavy weight - 36 mg Nicotine (+€24.00) = approx £22.00 / $34.93

plus €1.50 to add flavouring

(PS I have no affiliation whatsoever with this company: just been impressed with their flavourings)

Great prices too:

Don't forget that they add 20% VAT, for some reason. I don't understand why they're taxing us in the US.

And their shipping is expensive. They have "cheap" shipping up to 500gm, but big bottles of juice can overwhelm that weight limit.


I put together an order last night and it came to 78 Euros, $113. By the time shipping and VAT were added, it was 113 Euros, $164. That's almost a 50% increase for tax and shipping!!!

30ml MTS Vape Stuff
30ml Magic Mask
100ml 36mg juice
10 bottles, 10ml, flavoring

Subtotal: €74.10
Shipping: €11.00
VAT: €17.02
Total: €102.12 which is US $148. The Shipping and VAT makes for a 40% increase in pricing.


But even with all these not-so-hidden charges, they're cheap.


Including the shipping and VAT, that makes a 10ml bottle just over $8. Which really isn't bad compared to Capella's or LorAnn's (when including shipping for them).

Including the shipping and VAT, 100ml of 36ml comes to $49, shipped and taxed. That's less than $16 for 30ml. That's hard to beat.

I did a "live chat" with flavourart today and found out that they will make their nic juice without PG on request

So I requested

I had to order 100ml - no biggy - ordered a couple of the tobacco flavourings as well - cant wait.

These guys really seem to be making a big effort for us vapers.

 

[Col. Gaunt]

Thanks for the heads up on this company. I just placed an order with them also! I ordered 8 flavors and pizza flavor too! I just had to order the pizza flavor out of curiosity. Hmm I wonder if it will be sausage or peperoni?

 

[Þornbjörg]

Technically, they aren't allowed to VAT tax people outside the EU.

 

[Wench]

Yeah that was what I was wondering also on why they were charging VAT. They even charge it on the shipping also of all things...
I put 1 bottle in cart to check prices.. holey crap.
I'll reserve if I want any of the odd flavors but just too pricey with the VAT added on top at 20% . Makes it like $40 just shipping (express=$33.46 converted) and the VAT on the shipping . eh .. no

 

[Scottes]

I emailed them about the VAT charges, and got this email in return:

We researched time ago this issue as well with our fiscal accountants. So far, for the Italian legislation, we are allowed to withdrawn VAT only if the recipient owns a VAT number ( and our shop offer this option at the end of purchase ).

We would be more than happy to offer to private customers the chance to save 20% vat.
We are still working on this issue to find a turnaround way to do this.
Unfortunately, bureaucracy in our country is a burden we have to cope with but we hope to succeed in this.

We will keep you and our valued customers updated on the issue, both by newsletter and website news.

Let's hope that the VAT charges get removed some day, but it probably won't be soon.

It would be nice if a local US e-cig company would pick up their line. Fast shipping, no VAT... Sounds like a winner for us.

It would be impossible to remove VAT charges as all the prices for private people have to include VAT for EU legislation even if you sell outside EU.
All EU sellers have vat included on their prices but they generally don't show separated values.
Flavourart shows separated values cause if they sell products to a company outside italy they can sell without added VAT.

 

[Scottes]

Bummer. Oh well, let's hope they're worth the extra cash.

 

[greenie]

nice!

Thanks for the link

 

[Scottes]

Just an FYI, some info from another email from Flavourart:

Our flavors do not contain artificial color.
Only oil soluble flavors contain oil

The bacon flavor?

Don't bother. In my opinion, bacon flavor is the finest flavor in the world, and I purchased this to see if it was a true bacon flavor. It was mind-wreakingly awful. My atty won't let go of the memory of this flavoring either. I've resorted to soaking in vodka - which I've never had to do before. I only used 15% flavor.

I haven't had the stones to try the pizza flavoring which I also ordered. On the bright side: the pear is mighty tasty!

 

[kristin]

yeah, we were just posting about this company last night. One ECF member said their roast beef was pretty good.

Be careful, though - some flavors only come in oil-base.

 

[Linthorn]

Don't know about UK, but here in Italy a company that sells to a non-EU final consumer HAVE to charge VAT. I'm sorry but this is the law here.
Please keep in mind the seller DOESN'T keep the VAT amount, he must produce an invoice and he will give that money to Tax Department every 3 months.

The seller will not add VAT only if the foreign buyer is a business company.
that's it.

When I was in Italy I filled out a lot of papers to get my VAT back when I left for the purchased I made. I seem to recall getting my refund at the airport. Maybe there is some way to get the VAT refunded.

 

[TnA]

It doesn't help those of you who have already payed the VAT, but Flavour Art has expressed an interest in having a US-based supply which will nix the VAT. Not sure when it will happen and who will be the supplier, but it is in their thoughts/desires!
