New to making Juice

[Xiphion]

Alrighty, went to WalMart, searched for about an hour... found no loranns, glycerin was sold out...
Next: KMart....they had nothing
CVS: used to have CVS brand glycerin... discontinued I guess... no lorann either
Target:...nothing
Safeway: no loranns... but McCormick Pure Orange(and Raspberry) Extract caught my eye... I don't know if it's okay to use... or how different it is from using loranns... but seems to work... okay... for now...
CVS#2: nothing....
Back to walmart... I asked a guy saying their website said they should have glycerin in stock... got some humco G and bought a fish tank filter...

anyway I'm not sure what the consitency of the liquid should be... I checked out some recipes but I'm unsure how to interpret them since I'm not using any nic juice...

Really, try one of the vendors Scottes posted above... It is a small investment to have everything you need from one source and get started and then you can "search" around locally if you rather after you get the hang of it all...
I am refraining w/ every ounce of discipline I have not to recommend a specific source... but DO shop around the various suppliers posted above... Do read a few reviews OUTSIDE of their specific forum threads about them all... DO check totality of kits as well as shipping etc when deciding (unless money is no object)... It may appear to be a bit more expensive to order online but it will save you the gas money, headache of trying to figure if you have the right "brand" ingredient, time (as in just sit back a few days and wait for the mailman to come)
If you prefer to go retail hopping locally, maybe you should make some calls to your local craft stores and drug stores first... "Do you carry xxx, what is the price and is it in stock?" - No prob there, I love to GO to the stores too! Usually only if I have other items to pick up as well though... Wally's World is not "just up the street" for me though... neither is Joann's, AC Moore's, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, CVS, WalGreens, etc etc-
Good Luck & check out Dan's calculator above in sticky and Desrtrat's newest post - Download E-Juice... (The title escapes me)
Both will be very helpful!
PS- I would stay away from extracts... they just won't be very flavorful once you mix them- nothing close to flavoring...

PPS- The liquid should be viscous but not syruppy like... still not too watery... You can adjust this as you go because for the most part it will be personal preference, too thick will not wick to your atomizer well, too runny and you may get leakage...
So wish I could describe this better for you... Do you not have any liquid yet? I would say, compare it to any existing liquid you have... If you prefer VG just thin it a bit w/ .. well, it was all mentioned above by a few PP's... If you have kids that you give liquid medicine to... Like Tylenol cold liquid NOT Motrin pain reliever... Best I can describe I guess

I would like to make my own cappucino liquid, but I don't know where to get the flavored drops that are water soluble. I ordered before from LorAnn's but I didn't see anything for that flavor on the site that says it's water soluble. I did see that flavor but it was under the oils for the Chocolate flavorings, is that the same thing? Also looking to find carmel, cream and vanilla flavorings. Looking to get them all from one place if possible, and to get the best possible flavored drops. Does anyone have suggestions? Please help a vapette out!!

LorAnn "oils for chocolates" are probably not a good idea.

The only place that sells a cream flavoring is FlavourArt, as far as I've seen. They do have an espresso flavor (excellent), caramel and vanilla. Vanilla is tricky though. The best vanilla, by far, is from Happy Vaper in Canada.

I can't wait to try my LorAnn coffee and caramel flavors from TW. But, does anyone know if these flavors contain anything that might caramelize and damage my atty?

 

[Scottes]

They're not the "cleanest" liquids you'll put in an atomizer but I wouldn't be paranoid about using them. Blowing them out daily is probably enough, or a hot-water rinse to be more thorough.

Some people avoid flavorings like these two because they worry about atomizers, but I use them because they taste good. An atomizer lasts far longer than the same money spent on analogs, so it's still a bargain.

Here you go. this is what I use. Very good. faerie's finest - amaretto flavor extract (Been using FF for about 2 months now, and love them)
Here's another one, that is flavoring to add to coffee, not quite as strong as FF, but alot of people use it http://capellaflavordrops.com/amaretto.aspx

I'm a little lost. What does Amaretto flavoring have to do with cappuccino? Cappuccino is typically espresso and milk, right? Do e-juice vendors make their cappuccino using amaretto flavoring?

I'd love to make a cappuccino e-juice - even got FlavourArt's Cream flavor - but that combo just doesn't seem like it will do the trick.

Out here, a favorite flavor of Cappuccino is Amaretto, sorry, I misunderstood. Faeries Finest also have Creme de Cafe, which is very similar. Cream Rum is good, too.

Or JC sells espresso flavored. (very weak though, IMO)

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
